What's this badass weapon drop from Omnighul everyone is talking about?

Grasp of Malok?

Never heard of it.

You better not try any other loot games.

Why? Will my saltiness consume the Earth?

That raid run

 

[Strangelove77]

I think I'm done raiding forever.

Some groups just can't gel together.

Almost 2 hours on warpriest and totems combined and couldn't get Warpriest down at all. Mostly DGAF if not all. 1-2 people would die in the first wave, EVERY time. Even with 3 titan bubbles. (the last 2 attempts might have been laggy, some weird stuff went on)

Imagine Matchmaking on Raids.

I'm just about done with this game. I did the whole hard raid yesterday in less than 2 hours and today I finished Totems in 2 hours. Such fun.

Raids are for scrubs. Farm Omnigul for a real challenge.

Clap clap clap

We need a Crucible consumable that increases the likelihood of joining an unwinnable game in progress.

It's called "the daily."

Idk what happened, but that encounter is trash anyways. Warpriest just blasts on fools while we're trying to step on plates and it's annoying as hell.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Nah, the daily gives rewards win or loss. Best chance of joining a game while losing is called the Crucible Quest, which only gives progress for wins. Or the "Weekly" which only gives marks for wins.

The first person that was middle with me died, everytime. Then he left after 4-5 attempts. Then we got 2 new people so communication had to be fixed and at that point the original 4 was already frustrated and couldn't continue.

Totems in 2 hours? What were they doing haha.

Well, Totems took maybe 30-40 minutes. Warpriest was a little over an hour without victory.

 

[Kadey]

Some pulse rifle that's covered in chitan, and can have a chance of getting some good roles for perks for crucible head munching.

This piece of crap?

 

[zewone]

HM Atheon is, to this day, the only one to have given me a double exotic drop, though.
Monte-Carlo and the Vex both in the same drop, both I didn't have.
Atheon <3

I got 310 Praxic Fire and 310 Telesto from Oryx.

Not engrams, straight up drops, plus my normal HM and NM drops.

I was super surprised.

Sometimes having just one person with a bad connection can throw everything out of whack in Destiny, let alone the raid.

I had a similar issue while playing with all gaffers, and one person just had the worst connection out of all of us.
We stuck with it until Oryx, but ultimately had to ask him to leave because the fight was completely broken because of the connection issues.

After he left, first try...

Dedicated servers in Destiny 2 or bust.

This piece of crap?

Yeah, that garbage.

sweet role, congratz

 

[Afrocious]

How come we can't reroll one or two perks on our legendary guns again?

Nice!
Yeah all of them raid bosses can give a NM exotic and a HM exotic in the same drop I suppose, still super rare though.

Fuck that system. Then it just creates moments where you spend hours rolling for the perfect roll and it pidgeonholes weapon archetypes into 1 or 2 different configurations.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

total piece of shit. dismantle it immediately.

 

[figadapaura]

How come we can't reroll one or two perks on our legendary guns again?

They tried it. Realised that some combinations of perks were significantly better than others, so instead of doing something about sub-par perks they decided it was better to hope that only a few would get them to drop with god rolls than everyone having the same guns.

I guess. I'm not actually that bothered about rerolling being gone tbh. Didn't abuse it like others did anyway.

 

[Mindlog]

Fuck that system. Then it just creates moments where you spend hours rolling for the perfect roll and it pidgeonholes weapon archetypes into 1 or 2 different configurations.

Much more appealing than farming Omnigul.

Which is another reminder. Which got a bunch of GARBAGE - dumpster fire tier perks when rerolling became a thing.
Remove them from the game.

 

[Afrocious]

I got the hours of rolling. That does suck. I wish we could pick and choose honestly.

But as far as havoc pidgeonholding weapon archetypes, isn't that already the case even without being able to reroll perks?

Well, Totems took maybe 30-40 minutes. Warpriest was a little over an hour without victory.

I can understand Warpriest but Totems man that doesn't seem much different to normal and we did it first try with a bunch of 297-303's.

 

[zewone]

They should just have one gun of each type (1 AR, 1 SR, 1PR, 1 HC) and have all the perks be the same, so no one feels left out and we can all be the same. We won't have to worry about RNG for the best guns.

They should call the game Halo.

 

[Afrocious]

figs hit the nail on the head

why doesn't bungie do something with the lame perks and replace the perk pool with way better ones?

But then we would all have too much fun with cool guns. Can't do that.

So you'll keep looking for the perfect roll?

If every gun was awesome, you wouldn't have a reason to chase awesome guns.

That's a really cool story.

That's pretty much the opposite of what I said, but okay.

the class legendaries were a good start regarding neat perks

It's funny, but in the end, folks are always searching for specific perks and specific rolls to be competitive. The perk system is cool and works well for PvE. It becomes a problem in PvP. Oh well. Also, Halo is great.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

We don't have the weapon parts.

I wasn't referring to you. It was more about people asking for re-rolling to be available.

Rerolling is trash. It wasn't good for PVP with everyone having god rolls.

Sometimes, you need to accept that the chemistry is not there at all and just quit.

I remember on 1 of my Oryx runs where people were trying the "easy strat" with a twist and they wouldn't listen to any of my advices. Party disbanded before it got ugly.

 

[figadapaura]

HoW was the most fun I ever had with this game and I already had everything worth having. The only guns to chase were all trash.

Rerolling is trash. It wasn't good for PVP with everyone having god rolls.

How so?

 

[RickyRozay]

Question: if you run the raid 3 times across 3 different characters, delete one and create a new, are you able to run that new character through a raid and still get loot?

 

[Orthogonal]

I'm not Zoba and using it as my handle for as long as i did was a mistake.

I was so used to equating Zoba with Twilight Gap that I didn't even notice your name changed.

DON'T DO IT!

I think this is why I find myself sitting out these discussions. As a PvE player, I really like the system because it means I'm getting a great drop now and then that I value (just got done re-rolling a drop of the Vanguard hand cannon with Third Eye and Firefly, replacing the one from the shop); loot drops have been meaningful for me much longer with TTK than it was in any of the year 1 phases. But I can't speak to the Crucible advantages that can provide, for lucky drops.

When I do play PvP I just do it for the heck of it and have fun doing so, knowing 1) I'm not good and 2) it's not balanced. But I'm okay with that and not playing at competitive levels. If I were, yeah.

 

[figadapaura]

I also got the Vanguard hand cannon with Third Eye and Firefly. It is....a terrible hand cannon. For PvE.

Question: if you run the raid 3 times across 3 different characters, delete one and create a new, are you able to run that new character through a raid and still get loot?

Uh, yes. Sounds like a hassle though.

That subclass grind.

 

[Recall]

PVP match making is super slow. Would be nice to know which playlist had people playing too.

 

[xplicitone]

I give up this game for now. You win, Bungie. I'm off to play some Halo 5.

Kartik did this a lot back during Crota.
