I don't understand.

Did hm daughters on my warlock - got 2 shards.

This is hard without having done normal.

WHERE THE HECK IS MY 2nd drop????

Some players get double drops and others get 2 shards, even on hard?

Who the heck designs these things?

 

[Axoman]

Hopefully right? I understand his frustration. HM is out. People want to complete it. It's difficult to swallow that you might not be able to finish it...not because you're not a good enough player, but because of a number not being high enough because RNG is nonsense.

I'm giving Homeboyd a hard time because even though he complains, he still gets everything!

 

[j_rocca42]

Need two for daughters hard mode

Quoting for new page

 

[Lnkn52]

So do the HM gear have any new perks or just have higher light level?

Are you doing another run after this? Can I join? I need to play with one friend here. Lol

What light level are you looking for? I'm 303 with a ToM

[MandrakeUK]

Just did totems and got NO drops. WTFFFFFFFF

 

[mcfrank]

Nope, replying on RNG to be able to beat a boss fight is unfair.

Do you think you should get all the gear from 1 clear?

Cool. Join on me.

 

[DonutTurtle]

Sucks. At least with NM when our group encountered this problem we were able to go farm strikes and jump a few light levels. Now, we're at the mercy of just raid drops once a week.

I was watching the planet destiny stream and they too hit that wall at oryx. So they went ahead to run HM on their alts to get better loot to transfer to their mains. This is a slow process but could work.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Just light level

 

[Lnkn52]

Higher light level

:-(

the raid resetting in less than a week should help too

 

[DarKshodaN]

How the HM Gear looks,same as from normal Mode?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Okay I guess we killed Warpriest too fast first time, there's sorta kinda maybe a new mechanic there:

Spoiler

Which glyph he destroys with the Occulus gives him a different Taken attack. Retaliation swarm from middle and Taken Captain orbs from right. Haven't seen left yet because why would anyone do that side.

It's so easy to 2-cycle him that this mechanic will never matter.

Yeah, lets hope RNG is on our side tonight! I have faith in our awesome crew.

 

[KanameYuuki]

Lol that Oryx wall is such a bitch slap, like everything was pretty much the same and then boom, here comes red numbers and despair.

I wonder if it's the same or similar to what messed up IB's drop rates.

 

[SnakeEyes]

So has anyone gotten 320 drops yet?

Left one is

Taken Knight Mortar Fire.

i'm running with fali, ocean, nooblet and kyoufu and have a raid planned with kadey and clan members in a few hours.

 

[LiK]

Yes, someone did

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

It's really fucking unsettling that people are not getting double drops, only normal drops. It'd be one thing if you were only getting hard mode drops, but normal only? Come the fuck on...

yea we saw him thrwing big black balls when we dps him from the right

no idea about left...probably axion darts?

Is it actually happening with the proper bosses?

I thought it was only happening from chests not doubling up?

I thought Warpiest, Golg, and Oryx are all giving year 2 stuff just fine. Is that not the case?

Some people got only shards from bosses. Pretty abysmal.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

So, I won't be able to have a chance at HM until tomorrow... but I'll only be at 305. Will I even stand a chance? It sounds like it might work up until Oryx

Spoiler

and clearing the Ogre + Knight

 

[FiraB]

Well guess I'm not doing hardmode even with a new mic, sounds absolutely boring.

Have these guys thought about taking the ffxiv approach to hardmodes vs normals mode? Seriously make entirely new encounters with a new story behind it instead of this recycled shit we keep getting.

 

[Zocano]

Get gud at what? I didn't play Hard yet, but glad you represent the whole statistical population of Destiny, son.

Can't git gud? Too bad. Can't read sarcasm? Even worse.

I was a 304 when I started and was fine all the way to sisters and even fine there.

 

[Mass Appeal]

Did you guys finish or still at sisters? Sorry I had to leave earlier but this client was being as fickle as destiny rng.

 

[LiK]

from what i'm reading, 300+ is fine for HM until Oryx.

 

[KanameYuuki]

The good thing is that now that I'm 311 all my exotic engrams were 310 so time to infuse that to my alts.

 

[Zocano]

Still there, got a replacement tho

 

[Lnkn52]

Infusion fodder

It's axion darts. My group encountered it.

 

[Kyne]

are you telling me that they went through the trouble of putting in a mechanic (warpriest) that we'll never see lol.

should have just given him more HP so that we could experience the full effect.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

From what I hear, there is the potential for no drop. Shards means that you got a NM roll of shards, and a HM roll of nothing.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Yup. Seems the difference between 310 and 311 is huge too

 

[Liquidsnake]

5:30 PM PST HM KF Xbox one is on "The 100"

Lets join up and roll that's in 2.5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shards for everyone!!!!!!!!!

If that's true it actually makes some distorted sense... If you get a drop then you get a double drop. Otherwise you don't get a drop. I would be more mad about getting a NM drop and no HM drop than about getting no drop.

 

[Homeboyd]

Whatever, you know you'll be 313+ next week...

Planning on hitting 320 tonight.

 

[LiK]

goddammit, i wanna do HM with friends here but everyone already in a group. sigh

"For the mechanics themselves, we shied away from simply increasing sandbox difficulty (not that it won't be harder). You've had time to hone your strategies and develop a rhythm," Irby added. "Some of you might even be able to do it backwards, blindfolded, or upside-down. Hard Mode is going to upset that rhythm. We're going to give you one more plate to spin, and make you think on your feet." -- Gamespot

Has anyone found the plate yet?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

3 of us got 300 ghosts from hard totems..



seriously

 

[Deku Tree]

Has anyone found the plate yet?

It's in the dunking room.

 

[KanameYuuki]

Any fresh HM raids happening soon that need someone?

I'm a 310 Hunter
