Now thank and kiss your friend who wiped you at the final dps phase earlier. You may have only received 2 shards that time.
still don't have titan or hunter helms - normal nor hard
I save-scummed the fuck out of FF7 to get a Gold Chocobo.
But for real, folks love being OP so let us be OP. Once folks got KOTR, 99% of the game was a breeze.
I can't imagine doing HM Oryx without it, but I'm sure it's more than possible.
I am with you!
Knights of the Round Table was necessary to beat Ruby and Emerald weapon. At least it was for me back then. Ruby actually required more strategy than Emerald, though.
Necessary if players are underleveled.
Thanks to your misfortune, I was reminded to cancel my pre-order thru PSN.
They said "all sales are final, but I will put your refund order in as a goodwill gesture".
Sweet.
It's a great insurance policy for when someone is dead, and it gives your team a significant dps boost when needed. It's a weapon pretty much built for the last two raid encounters.
FTFY
If I'm on and you need someone I would be happy to help. Got a lot of RL stuff right now so planning raids is tough, but i'd love to help.
I'd suppressed that memory. No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure what that is, I recommend the HoriFPS plus though.
Turn your pulse rifles and hung jury into full auto, map buttons however you want. Has that same button on the back the xbox elite controller does to change sensitivity on the fly.
Really great.
In FFVII? Yeah, easily.

Ehh the spindle isn't really all that special though. If it were a more interesting exotic I'd agree but considering it's just a year 2 version of the nerfed black hammer that uses an exotic slot doing a difficult mission seems sufficient.
Nice! I still only have my hunter helm, and its dropped twice D:
There is a part before the Spindle quest begins. You were supposed to trash your Black Hammer and get a Rune you interpret to be a map.
Join the club. I finally got the helmet to drop for both my Titan and Warlock last night.
Both were normal.

Had some fun matches with Hawkmoon. :')
Once I have enough I'll buy a Y2 TLW. Amazingly it hasn't dropped for me.

So I have one question. I've done the raid a couple of times. Right now I'm a Warlock with a 306LL, reading about your characters I feel pretty underleveled. What should I do? Keep doing Normal mode only?
Btw, I don't have the ToM yet, hate grinding hedium flakes, but I guess one day I must do it.

is it normal to get my first exotic at level 40? pretty much goin planet to planet and just doin runs..enjoy em tho. on normal currently..battered the taken king, oryx, and few others so far..
You can have my two 310 TLWs I have in the vault. They're pretty much useless to me.

I've got one HM helmet so far and it was 311. Haha. Thank god it wasn't 310 though. Gotta at least feel that progression.

Anyone wanna do nightfalls, Didn't have time to do them earlier .
It is very highly recommended for the last two bosses. It's useless before that. Sisters are not a difficult dps check if you 3-cycle them so I don't think it's necessary for them, but I wouldn't do Oryx without it.
306 would be fine to start the hard raid but as above I would not attempt Oryx without meeting the requirements. 309 is fine.
If you're 306 and wanting to do HM KF, not having ToM is a bottleneck for Daughters and Oryx. You should be good for the prior encounters though.

I still think they went too much to the "mechanics!" side of things when designing KF, to the point where I feel like I'm not playing a game anymore but a very rigid partition. There's no leeway in encounters, no subtle variations to be had: you have to beat the phases exactly how Bungie designed them, and that's it. This, to me, is insanely boring.
One example of this is how they treat adds, and make them play this exact role of "additional enemies that are just there as a nuisance" and nothing more. The taken are formidably well designed enemies: their different abilities make them a bitch to fight against, and the combination of them can create a real challenge. The best thing about that is that it creates a "dynamic" challenge, where you have to improvise at all times and change strategies on the fly -- they create fights where you have to adapt to your enemies aggressive behaviour, rather than fights where everyone just apply THE strategy. In KF those enemies are only relegated to nothing more but cannon fodder acting as the only (and very small) unknown in the whole encounter. And that's sad. Let's take a small comparison between the Templar and the Warpriest: harpies in the first one are there to throw off your rhythm, just as regular adds do, but they are more especially best left to the relic holder so that he can fill his super faster; the warpriest tries to use this same idea of making adds more "valuable" to only one member in the party, but it forces the mechanic onto players -- you HAVE to use this system, whereas the Templar fight was leaving all this to the players' discretion. VoG is organic, KF is just mechanics.
The oracle room in the paradox mission, when I first did it solo, was the only time when Destiny gave me DMC / Bayonetta vibes. I want more of that.

I just want that shader. Some good rolls would be a bonus.
Which reminds me, last night I got 318 boots that put me at 314.
I think I've gotten 3x HM boots + 3x HM gloves to drop. No chest or helm though

Let's be real here: Paradox is the best mission in Destiny. yet. I absolutely adored it and whoever designed that needs a raise.

You two need one more? I need twice as well. I can run again a third time to help out.

Since no one will do Oryx with me because I don't have TOM, its the new G horn. What do I have to do to get it?
Thanks ichabod. Baby isn't gaining weight like he should, so we've had to go back to a day 1 feeding regimen, plus we have to literally measure his intake by ounce (he bfeeds).
Basically now one out of every three hours is spent on feeding him or preparing to. It's really hard for my wife, but the plan looks like it's working.

VoG leaned pretty heavily towards "just shooting" actually; I'd probably say a 7:3 split of DPS to mechanics, if I'm interpreting "just shooting" as dumping DPS into things to win.
Conflux and Oracles were about how fast you could clear waves. Templar had the Relic Holder doing mechanics while everyone else just burned through adds and Oracles. Gatekeeper was also about how fast you could clear waves, and sending your highest DPS in for Relics was usually the most beneficial. Atheon with the plate switching and Relic probably had the most balanced split but only relative to everything else in VoG.

Thanks Ruthless. Sorry about your connection issues the other night.
Does anyone here complete the Suros rocket launcher crucible testing?
Very surprised, but not surprised to see it return this week. It's an atrocity.
