Oryx HM down on all characters!
Loot I got this week:
310 Harrowed Anguish of Drystan
310 Harrowed Defiance of Yasmin
315 Harrowed Elulim's Frenzy RL
313 Ghost Shell
317 Hunter Chest
313 Hunter Boots
311+312 Titan Boots (wtf)
315 Titan Mark
313 Warlock Guantlets
314 Warlock Bond.
Overall not too happy with the drops. I still have to do the warpriest with my Warlock but i'm not sure i'm gonna bother tbh

 

[BahamutPT]

I don't want to get into the whole "what is cheese?" philosophical debate. It's boring and usually leads to thread saltiness. People can and should play this game however the hell they want, outside of cheating.

But I think Bungie thinks it's cheese. Just a feeling I have, could totally be wrong. Wouldn't be much of a bet if there was only one obvious outcome.

Oh sure, I completely agree! To them it's a cheese. (Wasn't trying to start a debate btw, sorry for that ^^)
But I don't see them patching it. Or 1-gaze Golgoroth either, to be honest (Luke has always mentioned the "two taunters" so that's also they way they intended the fight to go).

 

[LiK]

There is no such thing as cheese. Only creative solutions.

Spoiler

Except self res. Self res is pure cheese.

self-res is pretty handy for Oryx HM. had one Warlock and he self-rezzed quite a bit which kept the run going. phew

 

[BahamutPT]

Bungie would probably patch in some flames or something like that that damages you constantly on the daughters platforms to make them pointless to stand on during th Oryx encounter.

The Aura makes Guardians immune to all damage, so they would have to change the way the Aura works for the flames to be effective. Otherwise, they wouldn't work at all.

Anyone wanna help be clear a normal raid with oryx?

Have the platforms randomly eject all guardians off at high speeds.

Done.


Hire me Bungie.

Lol maybe include the penis piston mechanic

Like the wall-boners? I like that idea! Would be so funny if they had something like that in a silent patch.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Done.


Hire me Bungie.

Physic question?

 

[Kyoufu]

Have the platforms randomly eject all guardians off at high speeds.

Hire me Bungie.

I'd quit the game.

you already get that when you dunk in the first KF area

 

[hiryu]

Anyone want to do tier 2 court of oryx, I'm missing one fragment.

[RedFury]

Is this the daily you get the cult ghost from?

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

Can I get some help on a quick normal Oryx kill? Need 4. Macello.

 

[Magwik]

Got a wicked new emblem from running strikes

 

[LiK]

nope, Paradox is the one

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Anyone want to do tier 2 court of oryx, I'm missing one fragment.

Sure I can help out quickly.

p.s What is the way to skip The Taken War quest to get the quest for the 310 Artifact?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

I don't consider it cheese what so ever, its like the Atheon or Crota encounter, you can DPS Atheon by three ways and Crota by three ways as well...

It's not quite the same as where to DPS the boss. In all those examples you were still going through the same mechanical progression. This strat gives a loophole for intended LE Knight "mechanic." Also, there was only one place to DPS Scrota: up his ass with a sword.

Personally I hope they leave it in so people can use it to get easier clears. But it just makes a boring fight even more boring. Crouching and hiding then sitting in an invincible bubble zzzz. Makes it more like Crota where only the runner has an exciting job, except sword slicing was a lot more fun.

 

[Definity]

Hard mode Oryx down with Kyoufu and his clutch reconnect.

GG guys! Was glad to get a HM Oryx kill done before the weekend was over. Best reconnect ever by kyoufu!

 

[mehrmantrout]

So my Titan who has only ever had a chest piece drop from NM went through hard mode for the first time and got from Golgoroth...... a 304 NM chest and a 314 Harrowed one. Wheres the loot Luke?

Warlock and Titan are at 307, Hunter is 309 with warpriest onwards to do tomorrow

 

[hiryu]

So let's get some characters through sooner rather than later

 

[Zocano]

I can't tell if people are serious about them "fixing" the new strategy.

That'd be like them "fixing" the window strategy from Crota's End.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

PSN name?

Same as GAF name

You just miss my clacking sound effects :3

Yeah I don't know. I was just putting my two cents out there because I don't think there is nothing wrong with it. Running the ghost for the first time and doing this strat last night was chaotic and stupid fun.

Except for that moment I got 360 No Scope "Mom get the Camera!" Snipe from the Tomb Ship. Fuck that ship.

 

[todd360]

Just tried out titan super on the mission where you get it. Its fun to throw hammers.

 

[saveweyard]

You never know with Bungie.

I agree with Drizz that it makes the fight even more boring than it already was. I was literally checking gaf during the platform sections because I had absolutely nothing to do.

 

[EL CUCO]

I can't tell if people are serious about them "fixing" the new strategy.

Not to mention, the whole fireteam runs into the crystal room taunting Crota behind the glass for 60 seconds or whatever it is.

I literally woke up and am responding to what I read before I went to sleep

[Deku Tree]

Things we still don't know about that have been indicated to be in the game

Three lost calcified fragments
Grimoire for another PvP map
Oryx, Golgo, and Warpriest challenges
HM KF Ship in Kiosk.
TTK quest reward ship in kiosk... More quests? Bugged?
Any 320 Artifacts?
Light level 330 exotics briefly shown in the Bungie Armory

Am I missing anything?

 

[Kyoufu]

If you did HM this week and wondered why you didn't get any drops, it's because Yung_GUNNERZ took it all.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I can't tell if people are serious about them "fixing" the new strategy.

No itd be akin to them fixing the teleportation from atheon, where atheon would teleport the furthest people away from him. Then they patched it so its random. Because it was trivializing that mechanic.

Its why I will be surprised if they dont patch something into this

 

[RedFury]

How the heck did those that got Titan emblems already get 15 storm fist kills with trex arms?!
Edit: tips would be appreciated.

That was a different Bungie. A Bungie that was borderline hostile towards players creativity.

If you still need 1 and don't mind a KF rookie, I've got a 295 titan. PSN is Thrillho.

 

[LiK]

any "fixes" will just cause more glitches. so yea, let's make Oryx extra glitchy!

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

So this new strategy, Is it easier? Hard to tell from videos I'd have to try it.

 

[Strangelove77]

Glitches and random occurrences make Destiny raids even more fun!

 

[saveweyard]

Noticeably easier especially if underleveled.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

..the same bungie that created a whole raid(KF) with suffocating mechanics that have to be followed to a T >_>

 

[Kyoufu]

Maybe Bungie could have came up with a meaningful mechanic instead of something that could be negated completely simply by standing on a higher platform...

 

[todd360]

any "fixes" will just cause more glitches. so yea, let's make Oryx extra glitchy!

Standing on platforms spawns dimension platforms 1/4 of the time. Its a feature, not a bug.

 

[Strangelove77]

So this new strategy, Is it easier? Hard to tell from videos I'd have to try it.

Yes. It lessens the need for higher levels, but asks for more team coordination.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

You just miss my clacking sound effects :3

I can't deny the truth: Clack-a-Saurus was an unstoppable force of nature!

Not to mention, the whole fireteam runs into the crystal room taunting Crota behind the glass for 60 seconds or whatever it is.

Bleh, that encounter design was so bad it trivialized itself. Watching paint dry between sword spawns was the intended (and only available) activity.

People keep mentioning the Crota ledge but nobody has mentioned the addition of a "basement Gatekeeper." He was added to HM specifically because Bungie didn't like teams using that location to kill Ogres. It trivialized the "mechanic" of alternating sword beaerer spawns with Ogre spawns.

Sure thing.
