They are two completely different events though. And Trials should have already been available as a weekend event anyways. I was more looking forward to doing ToO this weekend than HM.

What that matters? There is a lots of players who do PvE & PvP, and want get on all those events. Stacking events, even if one is for PvE and one for PvP, is stupid as it forces a lots people to choose or schedule hardcore around the fact that there is two time consuming events going on over single weekend.

Yes I know that ToO is weekend only while HM Raid is on 24/7, but I think we are smart enough to acknowledge that more HC players want to be there on day 1. For both events, ToO and HM release, if they were stacked.

 

[Lnkn52]

Seriously you should just jump in, especially if it's people who you talk to a lot. I can't remember the last time I started up a daily heroic from scratch. It always says '7 friends here' or whatever; i just go through my FL real quick and jump in. When people do the same to me I definitely don't mind.

Exactly. I just keep pace with the fire team leader, don't be rude and rush through things if they aren't.

yea, will do. if they kick me without explanation then i'll just delete them off my list. I need to purge soon anyway.

The jumping sections will also have turrets everywhere that shoot the black blinding bubbles non stop.

Oooo, you forgot about the dozens of Taken Phalanx shield-carriers who are permanently riding the ships in the first jumping puzzle and patrolling the dick-wall.

 

[Kyne]

Oooo, you forgot about the dozens of Taken Phalanx shield-carriers who are permanently standing on the appearing platforms at daughters/Oryx.

fixed.

That's a huge part of what matters. Sure, some people do both PVP And PVE, but there are definitely two different audiences here. And as I said, ToO was already supposed to be available anyways. People would have already had to choose between HM and ToO. So the main reason to delay it again is for marketing reasons, which is kinda crappy.

 

[Feorax]

I'll send out the friend requests now to anyone not on my friends list. Should be good to go shortly.

Sorry about the delay.

 

[zewone]

please tell me how to map Turbo to R2!

Hold turbo button and then tap R2.

 

[GutZ31]

I think I'm done sending PSN messages to request to join games. People always message me eons later that they missed my message or had notifications off. I'm just gonna jump in if there's a spot.

fuck being polite

If I am in a party chat, I would advise jumping in that first to ask.
Likely I will miss messages if I am shooting things.
If I have someone talking to me while I am shooting stuff, I can at least respond.

If all else fails,
might as well jump.

 

[EL CUCO]

Anyone with hands-on recommendations regarding this week's foundry orders via the Gunsmith?

I can't decide on which to get... here's what we can order today. (FWIW i'm a lowely lvl 1 on two characters so i can get two but not choose perks - i know i know.. need to do more weapons bounties but... ugh lol)



Häkke Arminius-D – Auto rifle (VERY high RoF VERY low impact)
Suros DIS-43 – Scout rifle (looks balanced all around scout less hard-hitting than my Omolon Hung Jury clone but more than Treads)
Häkke Judith-D – Hand cannon (looks to be an extremely high impact RoF headshot monster?)
Omolon Uffern HC4 – Hand cannon (less impact higher RoF)
Häkke Lyudmila-D – Pulse rifle (to me looks like an avg pulse with med-high RoF?)

I'm thinking the Suros DIS-43 makes the most sense. I'm a fan of high impact weapons... and scouts in general... and picked up the Suros45 and Zarinaea-D last week.

What is everyone picking up?

I'll be grabbing the Pulse Rifle because Pulse Rifle, and that Hakke HC. Not sure about the Omolon HC yet..maybe I'll snatch one on an alt.

Rumor is that Trials isn't every weekend like before.

 

[Darknyss09]

I'm not getting my hopes up. They designed HM first and scaled back from NM. They probably re-touched encounters here and there and added a yellow bar to foil some of our strategies but for the most part the mechanics are probably pretty solidified.

That being said staying alive will be the problem. All our new toys we've acquired since NM released is going to make HM that much easier DPS wise even if we are under leveled. It's just going to a bitch when a yellow knight OHK you during a Oryx run and your entire team has to wipe because there are no revives.

Yup. There are several parts of KF where we normally just 'shrug off' adds (i.e. when DPSing Golgoroth and Warpriest; running to blights during Oryx)

Being under-leveled will make these much harder to survive in additional to whatever mechanics they might add.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Yeah, you should really be able to store packages in the vault or in mission slots. Anything but taking up inventory slots on your character...

Yeah I wish you could put them in the vault.

Bungie pls...or just have the Gunsmith keep track!

 

[crowphoenix]

Man, the news that I missed a shot to get NTTE and that Quiver was removed from my perk list is really bumming my flow.

 

[LiK]

Hold turbo button and then tap R2.

just hold at same time as R2? will do. thought I had to hold until it lit up and then press R2 after.

 

[VE3TRO]

And when you get hit your screen turns upside down!

The jumping sections will also have turrets everywhere that shoot the black blinding bubbles non stop.

fixed.

Dont give Bungie ideas.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Rumor is that Trials isn't every weekend like before.

I would be 100% OK with this. I hope it's true.

 

[E92 M3]

Instead of the Shade of Oryx, we will be fighting Crota in the bubble lol.

 

[LTWood12]

At least you have a rad Shining Force II avatar though. *fist-bump

 

[GutZ31]

I want to be able to equip the packages if they are in my weapons spots.
Why can't I just put a package on, and go around slapping enemies with the box?

 

[PuMa]

Ugh what the hell

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Any chance of an Atheon group at this time?

 

[Trakan]

Stacking events on top of each other, e.g. HM raid release and ToO, is stupid imo. One event is bound to overshadow other while some / a lots of player struggle to find time to do both.

Trials isn't an event. It's no different than a raid. Iron Banner is an event.

Rumor is that Trials isn't every weekend like before.

Ahahaha, you made that up.

 

[Number45]

Depending on who I'm with on the party, I'll turn either the voice louder or the in game music louder, on the headphones. When you're wearing it, there are buttons on the front on the left headpiece.

For more modification, you can go into Destiny Sound Settings in the state menu, and you can turn down/up volume of in game music and in game chat.

Profit!

There is a dedicated button the headset for this very thing. It only works in party chat though. I don't remember if there is any ingame mixer for fireteam chat. But if in party chat, you can dial this up and down with the buttons on the front of your left ear on the gold headset.

Thanks, I'll have a play around later!

This would be good to know, as my PS4 will either output both to the Gold, or both to the receiver. It's supposed to let you channel chat audio only to the Gold, but it no longer works that way.

You can definitely redirect one or both to the headphones from the PS (long press) options menu.

 

[LiK]

good, all it does is make every weekend a lagfest.

Stacking events for one weekend is retarded and the fact that they aren't doing it now, even if original plan was to stack, is just good move by them. Acting like it doesn't matter if they stacked because people just should choose is naive imo, you know just well as I do that a lots of people would just forcefully schedule both events into their weekend.

Does it suck that ToO is still MIA and we don't have solid date for its return? Yes, but stacking events just to get ToO out there wouldn't be good play. Stacking would affect more than just few players, so I don't think it really matters much that they are events for different sides of the game.

 

[TP-DK]

Anyone have a checkpoint for Atheon and want to take him down?

 

[gotstrangepowers]

Any chance of an Atheon group at this time?

I need to but I won't be home for another 30 minutes.

And I have the checkpoint.

 

[PuMa]

Ahahaha, you made that up.

I hope he did!

good, all it does is make every weekend a lagfest.

Huh? ToO has always gone pretty smoothly for me. Miles better than Laggy Banana

Using this logic, you can't bring back Trials because normal raid already exists. How will people find time to do both?

 

[GlamFM]

Who cares about Trials - when is the next Iron Banner!?

No, seriously - How is the IB rotation usually? This was the first time I got into it.

 

[Taborcarn]

All the options had perks for situations you don't want to find yourself in IMO, e.g. improved range and handling after revival, ammo refill when critically wounded.
I'll just save this package for now.

The one with triple tap doesn't seem to bad.

But the raid isn't an event. I don't understand what you're point is.

Exactly. I don't get it.

I think its one week each month.

We ready?

 

[zewone]

hold turbo, tap r2, let go of turbo. the light should light up and you should be good to go.

Trials isn't an event. It's no different than a raid. Iron Banner is an event.



Ahahaha, you made that up.

No, I didn't. It's a rumor.

 

[figadapaura]

Instead of the Shade of Oryx, we will be fighting Crota in the bubble lol.

Bring it on.

 

[PuMa]

Did you even read my earlier post?

Yes. Several times. Either way, it sounds like we don't agree, and I'm fine with that. Cheers.

 

[JonCha]

So apparently the Dead Orbit Scout Rifle is pretty good; I've got the badge and gifted Motes to blaze through Rank 1 instantly. My Red Death is fully upgraded now but I don't have anything I can swap it out with for other exotics.

I'd also like the Graviton Forfeit helmet though. I don't have any exotic armour at the moment.

 

[Trakan]

Did you even read my earlier post?

Yeah, and it still makes no sense to me. If hard raid is this Friday and Trials is next Friday, what changes? I will still have to try to find time to do both.

 

[PuMa]

hold turbo, tap r2, let go of turbo. the light should light up and you should be good to go.


No, I didn't. It's a rumor.

Rumor as in GAF > Internet > GAF ???

 

[Feorax]

We ready?

Two minutes and I'll be on.

Again, sorry about all be waiting. Fucking typical my first day off in 6 days and I get stuck looking after someone else's puppy.

 

[purg3]

Instead of the Shade of Oryx, we will be fighting Crota in the bubble lol.

The inside of the bubble is now a recreation of CE, you know have to defeat a Taken Crota, using the old mechanics. Once you defeat him the screen will go dark and blurry and you are now sent back in time to the VoG to defeat Atheon. Once he is defeated in that timeline, you are sent back to Oryx.

This happens 3 more times.

Cool, can´t wait!

this would actually be pretty cool.

 

[gutterboy44]

No no. It will be Shade of Oryx still, but instead of the Regicide Oryx, it is the Fears Embrace Oryx.

 

[zewone]

Rumor as in GAF > Internet > GAF ???

Yes, as in I wouldn't put a ton of weight behind it.

Trials being an event wouldn't surprise me with the new dripfeed.

 

[PuMa]

Heh

That would be so amazing. Not the 3 times part - maybe once each summon. Would be epic.
