But aren't there people doing Oryx with 2 or 3 men?
If you want to start a group, I'd like to bring my 306 Hunter.

That's more a problem with Destiny. I think there's an intent to keep some semblance of balancing to accommodate pvp. In competing against someone it's pretty simple to figure out what they're running and plan around it if such a thing is possible. If people were running around with multiple wacky exotic tier effects like Borderlands then pvp is out the window. Even in pve it helps keep things in line. In Borderlands 2 there's an equivalent of raid bosses there that were designed to be taken out by a team in about 5 minutes. There are some gear and perk combinations that allow people to solo them in 30 seconds lol
So you'll take your increased auto rifle ammo and you'll love it.
I won't stand here and have my favorite movie criticized thank you

Patience is a virtue. Also, I was not late. Own up to that at least.
I'm at oryx btw,,,so keep on waiting
A lot of people really liked and wanted more elemental primaries. They've been a part of the game since the beginning and they were fun. Besides, giving us the option to make any weapon elemental still fits in with Luke's concerns since we would all be choosing whichever weapon we wanted. There would still be variety.
Dinklage is the only good thing about the movie.

People want those extra light points to um....kill Oryx in the hopes of getting more light to um kill him again.Also did bungie seriously just remove the quiver perk as a bandaid to the glitch.They have seriously gimped hunters in pvp this expansion while they "look at data" when it comes to thor hammer gods.
Diablo has a pretty large breadth of usable builds that are based on item mechanics differentiating how you play. Each class really only has 2 viable builds max, though. And leveling up a new class to enjoy flavor of the month status is easy in Diablo. No way in hell I'd delete my hunter to make a Wizard in Destiny
And kill other people better in trials. Though seriously, isn't that the entire game, wanting to kill enemies better?

Do you get loot from Hard mode if you did normal mode this week?
Sure, I'l come
If you still have room I'd like to join. I've progressed through to the sisters on my Hunter so I have a good feel for the HM.

Do the first few chests not give you anything?
People used the Fatebringer because it was a really good gun. It being Arc meant very little in nearly every piece of content outside of Arc Burn Nightfalls. If the Fatebringer had been a nonelemental primary from the get go, with all of the other stats the same, it still would have been the best non-exotic hand cannon in the game at the time, and people still would have used it.
Primaries having elements arent the problem. Having an element means nothing outside of 'burned' Nightfalls. I used my Fatebringer constantly... even when I was in a burn other than Arc... because it was just THAT good. Like I said before... if in Year 2, I got an Imago Loop, with Outlaw and Firefly... I would drop my Hawkmoon (which is the only Primary I currently use anyway, so, so much for variety), in an instant, because an Imago Loop with Outlaw and Firefly would be a Year 2 Fatebringer without Arc. (Plox Destiny RNG... drop me my Year 2 Fatebringer...)
The problem with people only using certain weapons was a combination of the fact that there werent many elemental primaries to begin with, and of that very small pool only a few of them were worth using.
By my count, just quickly, off the top of my head... there were 16 possible elemental lengendary primaries in the game during Year 1. 4 from the Vault of Glass, 4 from Crota's End, 4 from the Prison of Elders and 4 from the Trials of Osiris...
Of those 16? 3 of them were S-tier: the Fatebringer, the Vision of Confluence and the Fang of Ir Yut. After that the rest of them were pretty much hot garbage. And if none of them had had elements... the 3 S-tiers... still would have been S-tiers...
So you made a pool of 16 guns, where only 3 of them were any good, and youre blaming the element and not the sample size as the problem? So when Luke Smith says "Having elemental primaries shoehorned people into only using certain weapons and hindered variety" hes wrong. He is actually literally wrong. The actual problem was having TOO FEW elemental primaries and making even fewer of them really really good guns.
To solve the problem, you introduce MORE elemental primaries, by letting every legendary primary in the game roll a random element, just like every other legendary weapon in the game...
I bet right now more people are using the vender bought Hung Jury than there were people using a Fatebringer in Year 1. Why? Because the Hung Jury is pretty much a god tier weapon... I hate scout rifles with a passion and even Im willing to acknowledge that.
Sorry we only needed one, we're running alts now and one didn't have one
Indeed.
The fact that primary ammo increasing perks even exist is silly lol. Like, have you ever thought to yourself "Man, I could reeeeeeally do with more pulse rifle ammo reserves!" ? I sure haven't.
I'm curious to see where Bungie takes Legendary gear in Destiny 2. They can't stick with the same formula because it's very, very boring.
Nvm won't have enough time. Don't wanna bail on y'all halfway through

Lukes comments on elemental primary are pretty bad. To see hwo bad, the majority of Crotas elemental primaries weren't that great, they had bad perks.

I'd like to give it a try with my 307 Warlock. PSN: hypoetical

Yeah I disagree with him as well. The only reason I did HM Crota was for the Arc Scout (only good weapon from HM tbh). And elemental primaries was the only reason I did Trials as well.
But it's whatever I guess. ;-;
No prob
Sorry man. But good luck to you guys. Hope RNGeezus smiles upon you all

Odd request but we're doing an alt run for HM KF up until Warpriest.
So we're going to be stopping after we beat Warpriest. Not sure if anyone's up for it but we need 1 Titan that's willing to help.

Once you are 311 it seems you're guaranteed 310 engrams.
If my other group can't pull together two more, I can help you guys out

You can still get 290.
Alright cool. Just let me know as soon as possible or send me a message on PSN.

knights spawn opposite order of the ogres
Knights spawn where the adds spawn
The last knight that spawns is from the same corner the first ogre spawn, he takes the longest
Sure

Oryx 2 man has been done but only by exploiting a loop hole in the encounter design. You basically bypass the majority of the mechanics with the help of Cheese-Locks self-res.
Usually you need 4 people minimum to form the platforms and run them for the relic. Normally you need the relic so you can steal the aura from the Vessel and survive the blight detonations. But, unlike most raid mechanics that can auto wipe teams (e.g. Oversoul in Crota), the exploding blights don't drain your super energy. So you can blow them up, die, self-res, and continue the fight.
