[Disker]

Well we did it GAF, good job

 

[silver.tongue]

Btw, did anyone else just infuse their hardmode stuff into their normal mode stuff?

Got a new rocket. No tracking. New boots. Shotgun ammo.

I just infused into my NM stuff that was better (traking + sniper ammo).

 

[Highwind]

Anyone need to do Vault of Glass? I need 4 people.

 

[Auto_aim1]

We almost flawlessly killed Oryx. That was such a rush. The fight is quite mechanical, less scope for improvisations but it's still better than Crota.

 

[Sleepy Buddha]

I'm on in 15 minutes and want to HM Oryx. LL 311 Hunter.

PSN XxTheReaperxX

Let's make a group. I'll send an invite.

I'm looking to do it on my alt, 309 Warlock, and Duebrithil 311 is also looking.

 

[maomaoIYP]

Yeah, you keep them and there will be different rolls next week. I did it this week with my orders from last week.

Great news! I just hope he doesn't sell the suros PDX-41 while I'm gone...

K, that's six. What's your psn?

 

[Messiek]

Hey guys, here's my pov of the easy strategy from yesterday. Took more than I expected to upload, lol

http://youtu.be/X_vX_VUUOcA

 

[xChildOfHatex]

Oryx cp nm.


1) Lifendz
2) ChildofHatex
3) shiv
4) the id
5)seraphm
6) pandora

All full. Yes it's on PSN. Please send friend requests to Lifendz. We go in about a half hour.

Friend Request sent.

 

[Strangelove77]

Hm Oryx down. Thanks guys.
Warlock helmet continues to evade me.

I might want to do hm Oryx again with my hunter. I need to see if my light level can be raised. I imagine this strategy is pretty flexible since you shouldn't be getting shot at a lot.

 

[toastyToast]

Suck a duck Oryx

 

[Ocelott]

Anyone wanna run NF?

PSN: Ocelott need to do it on my titan

 

[BreezyLimbo]

For HM Warpriest, they should change the encounter. Instead of him gaining abilities, he starts off with all 3 abilities that get removed when you destroy each rune stone.

Dunno why they didn't do that.

The group I did it with managed to do it in 4 rounds. We wiped a lot before that, but when it clicked it was awesome.

[LTWood12]

Dunno why they didn't do that.

It should also play "When Doves Cry" right when the encounter starts. It so obviously fits.

 

[Future]

Yeah I'm kinda lucky since I have a stash from before the nerf. Though my alt on the other hand might have some issues....

The amazing thing about weapon parts is I literally just can't get them. At least with the planet materials you can at least guarantee some progress even though its boring. A spinmetal plant will always give you spinmetal

For weapon parts its RNG to even see an engram, RNG that its a weapon engram, then RNG that the it actually decodes into a weapon. You can literally play for hours and get 2 parts or so. Unless they think I should be using my legendary marks to buy weapons just to dismantle.

They had to have looked at the top 1% of players who had a stash since year one and thought they had to Nerf it cuz they were rolling with 1000 parts. Insane.

 

[Ocelott]

I need it on my hunter. Lkpr

Anyone Else?

 

[march carax]

Still need to do it!

PSN: marchcaraxeu. Send if you need one more

I tried to youtube that

but apparently Prince has taken all the uploads from youtube

Why would a boss fight get progressively easier?

The weapon parts nerf made zero sense. Still can't find any reasonable explanation as to whey it was nerfed to begin with.

They made a big statement that in TTK you won't be shoehorned into using one single weapon all the time. That statement is just false. I can only use the 2-3 weapons I've had enough parts to infuse and fully upgrade. I have loads of exotics I would love to try out but can't spare the 30-50 weapon parts to do so.

[BreezyLimbo]

Why would a boss fight get progressively easier?

It would force the player to not be able to 1/2 cycle the boss and to take into consideration the axiom bolts/reactive missiles/darkness blast. As it stands, HM warpriest is a joke that can be 2 cycled.

Got him down to 75% after 1 cycle earlier but, a lot of it is down to luck on that run the Acolytes actually came out instead of hiding behind rocks so could get max time

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

If anyone is interested in doing HM Oryx, let me know. Will have to look over the video but I get the general idea.

 

[Strangelove77]

Anyone beat hm Oryx with less than 310 light using this new strategy? I did it at 311 with warlock and it wasn't too bad.
I have a 309 hunter I'd like to beat hm Oryx with. But if it's substantially harder I'm not going to bother.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Got him down to 75% after 1 cycle earlier but, a lot of it is down to luck on that run the Acolytes actually came out instead of hiding behind rocks so could get max time

First time we did it we got him down to 40%.

The fights a complete joke ._.

 

[zombiemortar]

Dunno why they didn't do that.

To gradually increase the difficulty of the fight as it goes along to stress communication and teamwork. I kinda like it as it is now; to reverse it would make the fight easier toward the end which I don't want in a hard mode fight.

 

[Namikaze1]

Spent an hour looking for 3 $20 PSN gift cards. Freaking 7-11 or the Walmart (both down the street from where i live) didn't have any $20 cards in stock. Hell, they didn't even had the new $10 cards in stock for me to buy that and a $50 card. thank god Walgreens had the cards in stock.

No need to wait that long. I'm down for it anytime. Doesn't go above 310 until Oryx and even that is much easier to survive with new strat. Only sketchy part is the runner has to be super duper careful/lucky to stay alive.

New strat removes Ogre DPS check. Only Shade matters now for Light scaling and he's not that hard. Have two people run around two of the platforms, easy way to stay alive during Wrath of the King. Use sword swim across Piston area so that'll be easier than our NM flawless.

I say we attempt it after clearing next weekly reset 3x. Take whatever Light you got and justdoitshia.gif.

Sure. My main is already 312. One more point would push her to 313.

I haven't done the new Oryx strat yet but I watched Save's vid earlier and read his guide.

 

[Magik]

If anyone is interested in doing HM Oryx, let me know. Will have to look over the video but I get the general idea.

I'd like to join as well with my 309 Titan.

 

[FStop7]

Out of a the baffling choices Bungee might have done, weapon parts Nerf takes the cake. I don't know how this isn't being patched immediately

I've played a bunch of crucible, patrol and dailies for the bounties for over an hour so. In that time I've netted 0 weapon parts. All the engrams have been armor besides a few. The few that were weapons turned into strange coins and motes.

Then I purposefully grinned engrams in some Coo and strikes. Almost the same result. If I'm lucky enough to get a weapon engrams, I'm "unlucky" when it turns into anything else other than a weapon. I did get a weapon.... but the light was in the 290s...so of course I have to hold on to it to infuse (which I can't because even that takes weapon parts)

So my new exotics and weapons can't be upgraded. My "fun" progression, which to me is earning loot and playing with new toys and builds, have come to a halt as I wait until RnG on top of RnG blesses me with a weapon part. Out of frustration I went to the gunsmith to by a green weapon so at least I could get 4 or something

2400 glimmer for a green = 1 weapon part. WTF is this shit

I've managed to farm 376 weapon parts from about 5 hours of patrols on Venus and Mars. I get the most drops from the area in the barrens where the Vex spawn from a small cave and fight with the Cabal. It's slow but probably the fastest way I've yet to find.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Sorry I meant took 75%, he had 25% left did crazy DPS to him

We completed it last night with:
1 308
2 309
2 310
1 311

Goes really smooth once you get your timings down right.

It's easy w lower light. Did a kill today w a couple 308s.

They should add a 1:1 conversion with planetary materials. Those things are clogging up all my inventory space. Need to do something with them.

We carried LICK and Aka who were both 308.

Anyone willing to help me with HM?
I'm only 303, cause fuck you RNG.
Work sucks

 

[BreezyLimbo]

To gradually increase the difficulty of the fight as it goes along to stress communication and teamwork. I kinda like it as it is now; to reverse it would make the fight easier toward the end which I don't want in a hard mode fight.

The issue with the fight is that it can be consistently 2 cycled. It's easier in the beginning, but by the time you're done with it, it'll be on the easier side than the hard side. It's a complete joke as it is right now. To say 'Oh it's fine if it gets harder' is well, funny because most of the time you won't even see more than 2 powers at once, and alot of the groups that clear HM will have killed him after the first rune stone anyways.

 

[Bradach]

http://youtu.be/X_vX_VUUOcA

Well done, a smooth run.

You had two people in ogres. Did you have the first platform man jump up there once the spark runner had cleared his area?

 

[Truant]

Still need a piston checkpoint in KF for the last fragment. Just promote me to leader and leave, you don't have to stick around.

PSN hundere

 

[Jest Chillin]

It would force the player to not be able to 1/2 cycle the boss and to take into consideration the axiom bolts/reactive missiles/darkness blast. As it stands, HM warpriest is a joke that can be 2 cycled.

How does taking away the abilities force the player to do.. well anything different from what they do now? I mean if you can burn him in two cycles now.. what does taking away abilities with each obelisk destroyed do to actually change that?

 

[Tovarisc]

Any HM King's Falls starting soon-ish and need a man? I would love to get my feet wet with HM and aiming to do full clear, do know most if not all changes to every encounter.

 

[FStop7]

Is the Dreadnaught the only area for wormspore? And the only way to open up patrolling the Dreadnaught is to finish TKK? I guess I know what I'm doing today.

 

[Acidote]

Well, I'm almost 307 so I guess I'll try to find a HM group next save since being Sunday already that will be hard this week. If I'm a little bit lucky I guess I'll be around 310 when I reach Oryx.

 

[Strangelove77]

That's good to know. Light level is really annoying. Went up 8 points in my gauntlets and was still the same overall light level. Annoying.

Let me know if anyone is planning to do hm Oryx. I want in.

I definately wouldn't say most groups. Most of GAF; which represent 1% of the 1% of destiny players yes; will clear him on the second rune. The rest of the community that doesn't have the time sink that we do? No. They will not. Keep in mind a 310+ Black Spindle it Sleeper Simulant is pretty rare to most of the Destiny Community as a whole.

 

[LifEndz]

Room for one more. Oryx cp normal mode. Ps4. Add PSN Lifendz

 

[EL CUCO]

Ugh, I buy a legendary engram because I'm out of stuff to buy with marks and I get a 290 Monte Carlo.

290? Gross

 

[everyday math]

I guess that's a no. Well next week it is.
