3 of us got 300 ghosts from hard totems..



seriously

I've gotten six ghosts from NM, all 302 or less.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

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

I thought the whole point of this new granular system was to eliminate the step progression? Are you saying the new light system is to just stretch out the rewards?

 

[Axoman]

Planning on hitting 320 tonight.

My man! Only you can pull off such a feat!

Spoiler

Especially considering you don't play on the weekends

 

[Seth Enosh]

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.

Based on their comment from the weekly update I don't think HM drops shards. I think any shards people are getting are NM drops. If you've already done NM and do a HM checkpoint there's the potential of getting nothing.

This somewhat makes sense as shards are only relevant for normal mode completions - the weekly update or patch notes said HM oryx gives the bonus drop regardless of shards or not, I think. Giving a drop of shards in HM doesn't actually benefit the player.

Patch notes:

Oryx in Hard Mode will guarantee a Raid item drop each week, without requiring Moldering Shards
Oryx in Normal mode will still require Moldering Shards
Moldering Shards can drop in King's Fall Hard Mode, but only if a character hasn't cleared King's Fall Normal for the week

I just go Trance on the weekends and *poof* I play with my secret lfg squad and no one has any idea.

 

[Born2Live]

Just did totems and got NO drops. WTFFFFFFFF

Yep this happened to me. Drops after weren't to bad.

317 MG
317 Chest
311 Class Item lol

Going to run my Titan upto sister in a bit. See if a can snag a ghost.

Ty

 

[JHall]

Beat the Daughters on HM and didn't get anything from the chest. Not even 2 moldering shards. Working as intended I guess.

 

[Subtervotion]

Having a chance to roll for nothing sounds awful.

 

[Namikaze1]

315 shotgun? Don't you mean 314 Black Spindle?

 

[Jafku]

Currently at Oryx on HM. So far drops have been
315 Harrowed Rocket Launcher
311 Boots (wtf)
315 Titan mark.
Not bad. Let's see what Oryx gives me

 

[DVPredator85]

Legitimately disappointed at Bungie getting rid of elemental primaries. I think the PR and SR are the only decent primary guns from the raid, and the black look they have is pretty meh, I was hoping for a more "Taken" look, like the Ghost shell.

Overall, it seems pretty pointless to do a raid just to get infusion fodder, since all the weapons are the same, just higher light level.

 

[Jinjo]

Moldering shards are only for normal mode, as Oryx HM guarantees a drop no matter apparently. The HM drops seemed more frequent to me than NM mode drops. Either way seems to work pretty much the same as NM, you get something or you get nothing (and nothing for NM is just moldy shards). Anyway, we all only had one KF run so far and RNG is gonna RNG, you should know that by now after a year of Destiny.

 

[todd360]

May your shards be moldering and your light level high my friends!

 

[LiK]

May your shards be moldering and your light level high my friends!

you up for HM tonight?

 

[Footos22]

Got a 315 sniper and 315 gauntlets. Up to daughters but ppl had to go.

Was only a 301 and still didn't struggle really. Up to 305 after

 

[E92 M3]

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

With you there is a higher probability that it's not sarcasm.

Chill out bruh

I had 308 and 310 boots drop at the same time lol. Yeah, the 310 was the Harrowed drop. It had worse perks than the NM mode boots so I infused it into that. Ah well, did get a solid 315 ghost, 314 sniper and 320 shotgun.

 

[140.85]

Disappointment rules the day.

 

[Dusknoir]

anyone doing HM I'm a 307 titan
psn EricEnukora

 

[TearsOfBlood]

So much potential for new mechanics, yet in the end its all about being underlevelled again. Great.

Not gonna bang my head against that wall until I'm 315+, not worth the one loot drop.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Game is awesome, It's definitely worth playing and TTK makes it even better. I would recommend to get it even if there is some dissapointing stuff.

It only bothers me that players are getting punished constantly. Bungie really likes to punish all of us.

 

[todd360]

you up for HM tonight?

I already have a group for 7 pm est.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Waiting for my group to get back together for Oryx HM and my drops have been.

Warpriest Room = Nothing...
Warpriest = 312 Harrowed Machine Gun
Golgoroth = 316 Leg Armor
Daughters = 314 Mark

Some of my fire team didn't even get drops on Daughters.

 

[LiK]

pfft

I got an email invite. Very professional. You can't turn that down.

I like how they roll. Byob?

 

[Teasing_Pink]

I got an email invite. Very professional. You can't turn that down.

Sounds classy. Did it have a cute clip art Oryx?

 

[darkistheway]

What does 'Harrowed' signify? Above 310?

 

[Zocano]

With you there is a higher probability that it's not sarcasm.

Chill out bruh

70% I am most likely sarcastic. Only time I'm serious is when people should git gud at jumping

Spoiler

and deleting their hunters.

 

[Xion385]

So how difficult is HM compared to NM?

Also, anyone need a 305 Titan for HM?

 

[Snkfanatic]

Anyone up for the daily quest? Add me on PSN if so. Same name as here

 

[Night Angel]

Anyone running HM? 308 warlock looking to run it.

Ps4 psn XxTheReaperxX

I'm on now, about to head to LFG. Send me an invite if you have a spot.

 

[BraXzy]

So hard mode has been... Interesting so far. It isn't as hard as I expected, at least up until Oryx. But now were stuck waiting to get more people after a few gave up.

Drops so far have been decent..

316 fusion (infused straight into thousand yard Stare)
317 rocket launcher
314 chest piece

I died because the relic holder messed up at the daughters so when the chest popped I wasnt up. Don't know if it was just no drop or if it was due to being dead but there was nothing for me from them.

 

[LiK]

Anyone up for the daily quest? Add me on PSN if so. Same name as here

Sure

 

[jaaz]

Well, I guess I can now use my raid fusion rifle, shotgun and other crappy raid weapons to infuse the good stuff. I was holding on to them thinking they might be useful in HM. Lol.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

So how difficult is HM compared to NM?

It's easy as fuck up to Oryx. Little mechanics that don't matter.

 

[Lee]

I'm still confused regarding shards. Best I can come up with is that they are a way of getting people to run the entire raid, and not just jump in at Oryx. You want an additional drop, then do the raid, you'll earn twenty shards as you go, and you'll get an extra drop at Oryx.

This is better than the no-checkpoints idea they tried with PoE, but why drop it from hard mode?

Once everyone is doing HM, these shards will be useless, right? Unless people can do NM Oryx (1 NM drop + 1 Shards drop) and then HM Oryx, instead of just doing HM Oryx (1 NM drop and 1 HM drop, right?)

So confusing.

 

[BraXzy]

So has anyone gotten 320 drops yet?

My mate got a 320 rocket launcher QQ

 

[gutter_trash]

I just learned yesterday that I missed my chance to get something something in Heroic Paradox

damn Bungie tying exotic aquirables to a certain scheduled day that we don't know when it will be

I really want it too.

 

[Darryl M R]

I am debating if doing HM Oryx is worth it..

 

[Namikaze1]

So has anyone gotten 320 drops yet?

I got a 320 machine gun

 

[EJRobinson90]

So has anyone gotten 320 drops yet?

I got a 320 sniper rifle and Akai got a 320 machine gun, both from the Warpriest.

 

[Inapplicable]

Second run drops up to daughters:

Nothing from totems
311 sniper rifle from warpriest
319 boots from golgoroth
310 class item from daughters

Outside of golgoroth everything has been underwhelming drop wise for me.

 

[Xion385]

It's easy as fuck up to Oryx. Little mechanics that don't matter.

Any new mechanics? Also why is Oryx more difficult this time?

 

[SeanR1221]

Filled sorry guys

 

[Silvard]

So, any fresh HM raids starting any time soon? I wish I had been there from the start but work and life and responsibilities.

[E92 M3]

So is 310 absolutely necessary for Oryx?

 

[AlucardShinigami]

Can I get a hand for Fear's Embrace final section? PSN same as gaf

[BraXzy]

Sounds like exotics don't have a chance to drop at 320 from engrams if you're above 310 which sucks.. So that means if you wanna be a high level exotics are trash. Was really hoping it'd work like being above 300 did :
