Hunter now 315.

Woo!

Nice. What's the challenge specifically?

 

[all of my hate]

Got a 310 Suros along with everything else from the challenge chest.

 

[Namikaze1]

Might check out Reddit, but is the warpriest challenge to use all three monoliths, to have different people grab the brand, or both?

Basically are you able to get the brand by one or two cycling him as long as the brand carrier is different each time?

I'm down to trying the challenge with my group this evening.

Also, do you even get 320 gear on normal if you complete the challenge on that difficulty?

Nah, just different brand holders.

Also, I got the Warpriest CP for us later.

 

[Afrocious]

Nah, just different brand holders.

Awesome.

We might need to think if its worth doing the entire raid now

If you guys do it in a few hours, I'd love to tag along.

Need that max grimoire score.

 

[Namikaze1]

Nice. What's the challenge specifically?

Challenge basically is to not have the same person as brand holder twice in a row. Don't know yet if the second brand holder dying and brand going to the first one will fuck things up since we did it without anyone dying.

As always, it sucks being at work while everyone has their fun.

 

[Afrocious]

Still curious about Normal mode

I can play tonight if you still haven't played then. Welp off to work

 

[Namikaze1]

Awesome.

I still want a shot at the HM raid helmet on my Titan. It's all I need to get that shader.

If you guys do it in a few hours, I'd love to tag along.

We play around 5-6 PM EST. I think we're going around 6PM. We usually have one or two spots open.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

So basically, if you're too good and one cycle the warpriest, you fail the challenge?

Nice bungie

 

[Haybro]

Probably been answered, but is there any difference in rewards (besides the standard drops) between doing the challenge on normal vs hard?

 

[todd360]

I'll be home at 5:15 pm est nami. Just got to eat dinner when I get home. No big deal if their isn't a spot for me or if you go early though.

 

[Namikaze1]

Still curious about Normal mode

It's 310 stuff. You get double drops from the chest that shows up if you do hard mode first, two items at 320 and two at 310 (artifact and heavy or special weapon).

Normal Challenge rewards are a 310 artifact and a 310 weapon (heavy or special)

Hard Mode Challenge rewards are a 320 artifact and a 320 weapon (see above)

You're in.

If we got Todd and Kor, we're set then since that's 6.

Awesome.

Our group finished the HM Warpriest challenge x3, and it seems like NM guarantees two 310 drops, HM guarantees two 320 drops (an artifact and one item from that boss' loot table) along with a chance for an exotic.

 

[Nothus]

Anyone still need to do the challenge?

I need to run it again

Nice, thanks. Doesn't seem like much of a challenge, since that's how we normally run the encounter, lol.

Thanks, sounds like I need to do HM then. I need all the 320 stuff I can get.

I'd like to run 3x NFs this week too. The first part is a bitch but I'd love a higher chance to get that exclusive Warlock helmet.

 

[flkraven]

So, it's the same thing? Only we need to just make sure that someone different gets the brand each time? And it's the same Harrowed 320 weapons?

Steady stream of content...

 

[Namikaze1]

Warlock now 315! Everyone now over 315.

Thanks for the two Challenge runs, guys!

Got the Warpriest CP if anyone needs it later.

 

[17 Seconds]

has anyone gotten a primary as the 320 weapon? i only got special and heavy on all 3.

 

[noomi]

Warpriest has always only dropped Special/Heavy Weapons. Not sure if that has changed with Challenge Mode...

 

[E92 M3]

Warpope can only give a special or a heavy. Oryx will be the 320 primary.

 

[Ji66a-Man]

The challenge drops pull from that boss' loot table, so the chances of a primary dropping are slim to none.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Hunger pangs quest continues after war priest challenge.

Promethian code heroic

Anybody down

Only on my hunter though. Weird

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Don't know yet if the second brand holder dying and brand going to the first one will fuck things up since we did it without anyone dying.

Can confirm that this does f it up. Happened to us once. Just wipe and redo if the second brand guy dies

 

[noomi]

Alright so warpriest is this week, which means next week will either be golgoroth or oryx, right?

That's the only 3 challenges that we know of?

 

[17 Seconds]

Can confirm that this does f it up. Happened to us once. Just wipe and redo if the second brand guy dies

only if it goes to the guy who first had it. as long as it goes to a new person, it still works.

Are you still looking for NF partner ?

If you kill the warpriest and don't get the challenge, you can redo it and still get the loot.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

That's good to know, thanks. I guess we were just unlucky it went to the first guy again. I was just mentioning it since Nami had asked specifically about it transferring to the first guy and that exact thing happened w us.

You guys didn't do the full raid 3x?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

If you kill the warpriest and don't get the challenge, you can redo it and still get the loot.

Yeah of course. But why would you kill him just to lose the CP and have to redo the fight anyway? Much easier to just wipe.

You guys didn't do the full raid 3x?

We did full HM 3x. We just had to go back and redo Totems a 4th time then kill Warpriest again since we messed up the challenge.

 

[Nothus]

Anyone want to jump on and do the challenge?
Need 3 more, we're at Warpriest now.

 

[deadduck]

Is it just me?

Or does this fix the main loot problem in the raid? (Crap or no loot)

Yeah, I was mostly wondering about the first guy. So it fucks it up then. Good to know that you can keep going if it doesn't go to the first guy.

It seems specifically designed for exactly this. There is no additional challenge, using different brand holders was a very normal and even optimal strat. Only one person still needs to be good with it since you can easily get well over half damage on the first cycle (or even kill him in 1 cycle).

Luke tweeted before that the hold up w Challenge mode was nailing down the rewards system. They very clearly wanted to fix the terrible loot and this was a smart way to do it (apart from changing the KF tables themselves which I don't see happening).

"Challenge Mode" is a misnomer, should be called "Loot Mode" or something.

 

[darkistheway]

Is it just me?

Or does this fix the main loot problem in the raid? (Crap or no loot)

To me it looks like this is the reason for the main loot problem. They were holding back guaranteed light level drops as the reason to attempt the challenges.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

We did full HM 3x. We just had to go back and redo Totems a 4th time then kill Warpriest again since we messed up the challenge.

Ah okay. I imagine the rest of the raid dropped disappointing loot, as usual?

So, to confirm:

WP challenge requirement is having 2 different brand holders. One cycle is a failure. Deaths and number of cycles are irrelevant, as long as the brand holder is a different player each time. Reward is 310 artifact and 310 special/heavy for normal, 320 artifact and 320 special/heavy for hard, emblem, calcified fragment and random chance of getting 310 exotic from chest.

So, Golgoroth will require double gazing, oryx will require different runners each cycle?
