Anyone else?

I'm up for it

 

[bitsurugi]

LOL, just watched a stream (darn work):

Spoiler

kinda looked the same as usual to me, they 1 shotted the boss, easily. They got 320 artifact, fragment & emblem. I swear to god, half stream chat was ''WTF, what's the challenge?

Seeing it... NOT mad i am stuck at work.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

320 Artifact and a 320 weapon guaranteed from Warpriest Challenge!!!

 

[BreezyLimbo]

the challenge was nothing at all

 

[Ji66a-Man]

Beat challenge mode: 320 artifact get.

 

[GlamFM]

OMG OMG OMG!

 

[Unstable]

I don't even.


Challenge Mode?

 

[xVaalbarAx]

good for just loot I guess.

 

[brianjones]

there was nothing different at all about that challenge lol

unless the challenge is downing him in 2

 

[Daemul]

Does the challenge needs to be done on HM for the artifact or will NM suffice?

 

[inthrall]

aka free loot mode...?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

NM Challenge gives 310

HM gives 320

 

[Ken]

You guys didn't buy enough dances to fund a full-fledged challenge mode.

 

[Auto_aim1]

You guys did HM challenge easily? WoL and BoL I guess?

 

[Jinjo]

So is challenge mode a seperate instance/mission or does it just happen during a raid?

 

[brianjones]

at least we know gologoroth will be different .. No single puddle

wonder if oryx will be have to detonate 4 bombs every time

 

[silver.tongue]

Need 3 more for fresh HM raid.

[mehrmantrout]

Ha ha, all that hype and don't worry about content as challenge mode is coming. Bungie blew it again

320's nice though

Bigmanny, Id and I are up for it too.

 

[17 Seconds]

how do you do the challenge. is it automatically active during the raid, or do you choose that part specifically in the director?

 

[Daemul]

NM Challenge gives 310

HM gives 320

Ah ok, cool. HM it is then.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

I wonder if we can expect the balance patch later today. I doubt it, but it would be a nice surprise.

They need to add a jumping puzzle challenge mode.

 

[Jinjo]

Active during the raid automatically.

I wonder if you can fuck up a challenge and then lose your chance at loot.

 

[silver.tongue]

I'm down for a run.

Sent a FR. Join the party.

Need 2 more.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

One boss becomes a 'challenge' mode.

Warpriest did nothing at all apparently

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Pretty sure Warpriest Challenge is to kill him by only having one Rune destroyed

aka 2 cycle him

aka do what everyone has been doing for months

aka wtf

 

[silver.tongue]

Bigmanny, Id and I are up for it too.

is it bigmanny287?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

But you don't know that >_>;

 

[Shito]

320's nice though

Yeah, not interested one bit to come back to the game for "just that".
It's a nice little addition, but I don't really care about getting to 320 if it's only useful to run the only relevant raid at the moment... which you don't need to be 320 for.

I can't say I'm being blown away by the live team so far... ^^

 

[Jinjo]

I wonder what happens if you happen to 3-cycle him instead.

Or like next week, kill Golgoroth with the 1-orb strat instead of the desired full-orb strat. Would you just not get the challenge loot then?

 

[xChildOfHatex]

is it bigmanny287?

Yep. See top of the page post.

 

[silver.tongue]

Yep. See top of the page post.

Lets go. Sent you a FR. Join our party.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

But you don't know that >_>;

Breezy pls. You can give the Devil's Advocate a rest from time to time.

Of course I don't know that, but it's based on the fact that everyone who's posted here or on Reddit has gotten it from doing 2 cycles (destroying only 1 rune). Also it was clearly speculation based on this information since I said "pretty sure..." which means I don't know for sure....

 

[xChildOfHatex]

Lets go. Sent you a FR. Join our party.

Didn't get the request so I sent you one instead.

 

[Sentinalprimus]

Huh, so we all got a 320 Artifact, and a 310 Normal and 320 Hardmode drop. Pretty cool. Will be interested to see if that is guaranteed or just awesome luck.

 

[Auto_aim1]

I just wanna do 3x warpriest. Screw the raid

 

[BreezyLimbo]

That speaks more to how easy the boss fight is. Try 3 cycling when you do it on your alt after this~

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Same

Basically what uit should have been since the beginning... :/

Still got room?

 

[brianjones]

don't you mean phases

every raid is easy when you're playing with experienced people tho

try it with newbs it's not so fun

 

[Auto_aim1]

Still got room?

Yes, sending inv.

 

[Nuszka]

If this is the taste of things to come... Wow i am actually speechless... Challenge mode...
Btw did anyone saw any "new" exotics drop or do we still need to wait for the patch when it comes to that ?

 

[VikasNarula]

somebody take me (newbie) for KF RAID,
298 Warlock with spindle
PSN: Narasingh

 

[silver.tongue]

Guys, can anyone spare a totens checkpoint?

 

[GlamFM]

Easy on the salt because the challenge mode does not "challenge" you enough.

Keep in mind we are the 1% of the 1% .

We can´t expect the game always to be tuned towards us and our skill level.

There are millions of Destiny players who will find this really tough i´m sure.

I'll take the better loot drops gladly, great change. But there's no reason this shouldn't have been available day 1. Not that I expected any real new mechanics or anything to the bosses. That was hopeful dreaming from day 1.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

No, in this case it's cycle because it's repeating the same thing on the same boss over and over again. I went through this, since the sisters forces you in a certain order, you have to clear both sisters to 'cycle' and start on the 1st again. If it was like warpriest, where you could choose any sister(In this case, any runestone), then it would be a cycle.

If it's a 2 cycle challenge
