No, in this case it's cycle because it's repeating the same thing on the same boss over and over again.

I was just teasing from that previous argument

someone post a funny gif hurry

 

[Sentinalprimus]

Well at least Golgoroth will challenge most as they never did or have forgotten how to do a Tank swap.

 

[xChildOfHatex]

Sorry joined a lfg group

No problem. We found another group.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Looks like the challenge is no deaths

 

[2real4tv]

Just finish warpriest in one cycle got nothing what did we do wrong

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Ugh, so annoyed I am going to miss out on the 320 artifact. Hopefully its available from each challenge week.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Did anyone die? Where did you DPS him from?

Edit people on Reddit are saying they 2 cycled him with no deaths and got nothing, or another warpriest spawned :d it's either glitched or you need to something very specific

 

[brianjones]

can you redo it and still get the loot seems to be the big question

"Just figure it out" would be a really lame way lock people out of loot

 

[2real4tv]

You sure we just did it with no deaths

Yeah same for us

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Mhmmmmmm

 

[Sentinalprimus]

Nah it's not, had all of our Warlocks die due to scrubiness

Waiting for them to come out and so it was accidentally released

 

[SnakeEyes]

Got the emblem, a calcified fragment, an Exotic Special Weapon engram, a 320 Harrowed Sniper and a 310 Rocket Launcher

If the check is that you have to kill him while only destroying one rune, but you killed him before he actually destroyed a single one, then you wouldn't get it...

That would be hilarious if true... (Disclaimer: this post is pure speculation as is every post about Challenge mode right now)

Sorry meant 2cycle

 

[Daemul]

A fellow Xboner on Reddit confirmed that you can have someone die and still get the rewards

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/VenomViper69/video/13011088

As you can see he's dead and his team kills the Warpriest and the rewards drop for him.

 

[GlamFM]

Can you retry if you fail or are you locked out for the week?

The challenge is strange because it's stuff we've been doing all along, so we have no idea what triggered it. Off the top of my head it could be an actual modifier and adds are harder and we just didn't notice (not likely), no deaths (seemingly already debunked), and obviously the two cycle with only one rune destroyed which seems the most likely. We'd have to do some testing if the center rune is the key though. Perhaps it's entirely linked to only losing that center rune.

Look at vid above center rune still there

 

[Terrordactyl]

Maybe it's on an invisible timer then?

 

[17 Seconds]

got him on the second aura, nobody got shit. i'll be really really annoyed if you only can get it on your first warpreist kill for each character, and i missed out because they don't tell us what the fuck we're supposed to be doing.

 

[noomi]

Heh, surprise!

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Don't break the glyph sequence

 

[DrDrizzay101]

We broke a glyph sequence on our second run, but still killed him with the same 2 cycles from middle... and nobody got the Challenge drops. Including Breezy who was doing it for the first time, so it wasn't just an issue of "once per account" or whatever.

edit: also we used two aura holders on the first one but only one aura holder on the second (I did it both times)

The big question is if you can get it if you failed once.

Are you trying again on the same characters?

 

[Daemul]

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.

Iirc Deej said a patch wasn't dropping today. The big patches seem to drop the day IB launches nowadays, so don't expect a patch until the 15th.

 

[noomi]

People are saying they did right side and then middle, maybe?

 

[17 Seconds]

i just want to get it done quickly on as many characters as possible, because i wouldn't be surprised if they messed up and this wasn't even supposed to be in the game yet. didn't they do that with iron banner one week?

 

[Jinjo]

People are saying they did right side and then middle, maybe?

So don't break middle obelisk maybe?

 

[SnakeEyes]

People are saying they did right side and then middle, maybe?

Isn't Right-Middle-Middle the usual order?

Why do people think it´s not supposed to be live?

Early in December, one of the King’s Fall bosses will offer their challenge each week. You’ll see which boss when you select the Raid in the Director. It will display next to a skull, just like one of our Nightfall modifiers. They work on both normal and hard mode, and offer rewards to match.

 

[17 Seconds]

that's what we did, but we didn't get it.

it's probably something completely random, like you have to kills the knights in some order or something.

 

[Jinjo]

Okay so Unstabie raid crew conclusions from two runs:

Don't break cycle
Different aura holders (maybe)

That's the only thing different from the first run they did. Both a two-cycle kill.

 

[17 Seconds]

has anyone wiped at any point and still gotten it?

 

[TP-DK]

So basically Bungie is saying: "We challenge you! Buuut we are not gonna tell what the challenge is" .

 

[mehrmantrout]

You can keep doing Warpriest as you get the rewards from a chest, people have gone back and done it after scrubbing a first attempt

Anyone got a war priest check point

 

[Namikaze1]

I just woke up to news of one of the challenges being up.

So who's up for an attempt?

 

[GlamFM]

Did they kill him on their first attempt?

 

[17 Seconds]

what the fuck, we completed the challenge on hard mode and only got a 310 artifact and 310 weapon.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Did they kill him on their first attempt?

Sorry, I meant until you get the challenge rewards, as you get them from a chest

 

[17 Seconds]

umm, i think you can only get hard mode rewards on your first try. i did it once and we didn't get it. did it a 2nd time and we got it, but i only got 310 stuff. everyone else got 320. i was the only one on my second attempt.

 

[noomi]

So don't break middle obelisk maybe?

Not sure, maybe? All speculation from reddit right now.

Isn't Right-Middle-Middle the usual order?

We usually just do middle x2. I think thats what drizz and crew did this morning also.

that's what we did, but we didn't get it.

it's probably something completely random, like you have to kills the knights in some order or something.

Hmmm, well i wont be raiding unil 6pm so by then hopefuly someone figures it out haha.

scratch this. i didn't get it until i went to orbit for some reason. got the 320 artifact and 320 sniper.

we went right-middle, but we also did that on my first try that didn't succeed. we also had one person die each time, but we still got it on my second try.

Apologies for the silly question - have you double checked postmaster etc?

EDIT - ok it was a go to orbit thing - a few drops seems to be like that. I remember it starting with exotics at Crota, and then there was the IB rank 5 package thing recently....plus their admission that if you quit the game before going to orbit you can lose drops.

Seems weird to tie loot to exiting a mission rather than completing it.

It must be that boss drops get activated on boss kill (like skolas primaries) but activity rewards get activated on activity completion...and there is a grey line between the two.

Double edit - it's just a guess but "dont break glyph sequence" seems the most likely. That is "the" mechanic in that fight, and the bit that was hard to puzzle out in blind raids.

Either that it's a secret timer, and breaking a glyph sequence loses time as people re-shuffle themselves back on plates?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

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

Nice, something good from the boss at least.

Btw just arrived back in Australia, should be home in 2 hours.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Okay, I got my 320 artifact and 320 machine gun. That was some good loot after a long fucking time.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

The fact that they don't tell you what the challenge is is fucking retarded.

 

[GlamFM]

On your second character or on the same one?

If on the same character - did you kill him on your first try?

You messed up a glyph sequence on your first try?
