This right here is why I think King's Fall is a failure. A successful attempt is 10 minutes. You tried for 4.5 hours. 4.5 hours of tedium and frustration for only 10 minutes of fun is not good.
More Titans the better, Really only need 1 maybe 2 Hunters. We had no problems with the Shade, Lag was killing us last night, we got all the way to the end and one bomb didn't detonate due to lag. Had to go to orbit several times until we found a good host and finally killed the bastard.
Pretty sure this should become the best strat to kill him in the future. Make it so easy, reduces the silly deaths due to trying to get back from Bomb detonation.

I did maybe 2 hours worth of attempts with a team where our first run we detonated 14 bombs instead of 16 somehow. Thought it showed promise for a first run so then I stuck around. Came to find out the insanely drunk dude didn't know where his knight spawned when he was on a specific platform and never said anything so whenever he was on back right we would lose X number of orbs. Took me a few runs of detonating to see. Came back on this morning and finished a run in 20 minutes with a LFG group.

Sword master has returned!
Deservedly so sir!
Wow I got a fraction of that.
320 Smite w/ GHF

312 Titan Gauntlets
I don't believe it's possible for you to have gotten two normal mode heavy weapons from this. And if you got one, it would've been as a result of the 20 shards.

Yeah. I know that 20 shards don't literally turn into 2 shards, but it's a really shitty feedback loop. I can't know that for sure. There's no indication that it actually worked and what I got for it. It's supposed to be a player positive RNG mitigation design, but as implemented it's terrible because it doesn't actually communicate to the player.
I'd make 2 changes to shards.
- First, shards on their own can be used to infuse gear and increase the light by 1. That way if you have one slot that's dragging you down & RNG isn't being friendly, you can mitigate that. And that way you don't get disappointed when you only get shards. It also gives an incentive to do every boss.
- Second, I'd introduce a new consummable that costs 20 shards. After you kill Oryx you can consume that and a new chest would appear just for you with your extra drop.
Remember how Luke said he was going to look into 300 light drops because it does suck to get 300 light from the raid when you can get a perfectly rolled rare with that. Yeah. What happened to that? Because I got a 310 Harrowed Hand Cannon and a 310 Normal Hand Cannon.
Raid drops are bad and should feel bad.
Aw, that's kind of annoying. Why is there such a difference in class balance? Is it mainly the durability of the Titan which makes it strong and the Warlock weak? I figured Warlock's would have the highest damage output due to being the "mage" of the game and would still have a purpose.
Warlocks are a fun class, but some people use them as a clutch for careless plays. For instance, Stormtrance is wonderful for clearing massive amounts of ads in a pinch.

I think I may right up an essay on just how fucked up the Year 2 end game is, in so many respects.
But ain't nobody got time for 3,000 words on something they already feel every time they play Destiny.

I've watched a bunch of videos of people taking out the ogres in Hard Mode, why the hell are they using snipers instead of putting weapons and blessing in the middle and melting them with the Malice? We have been using this technique and ogres literally disintegrate before they are fully out of the ground. This also helps with the teleporting 4th Ogre problem.

It's the utility brought to the table. Titans have a bubble that's priceless on defense. Hunters are mobile and can generate ridiculous amounts of orbs/super energy for Titans to fuel that bubble. Warlocks just resurrect themselves to recover from mistakes. It doesn't do anything if the run is going smoothly. Edit: Hunter Tethering is also good for more than orb generation.
Source: I am a Warlock.
It's everybody's job to shoot guns. If you're good at that then your fine. A good player is a good player regardless of class. Titan's Defender subclass has extremely good utility, hunter's nightstalker as well. Warlocks don't really have that utility.

Warlocks are way more durables than Titans lol
To be Warlocks are stronger than Titan in every single point.
Best class in the game... easy mode.
Start running storm caller and stop worrying about the precious res. Stormcaller Warlocks can generate as many or more orbs than Hunters. So can sun singers if you are willing to pop your super.
Most of the sweaty players use a Sunsinger Warlock. IDK Stabbie.
I'll gladly read it.
Yeah Malice really wrecks them quick. If people on platforms shoot as well, it's even better.
I was talking purely PvE.
PvP is a completely different story.
*Hint* Hunter is still the best PvP class. Cause they don't need extra life.
Kappa
Yeah but with Weapons they don't even need to, all they need to focus on is add and Knights, The LFG random titan that was in the middle with me had a 320 Malice and I was rocking a 319, simply destroying everything in our path. Also provides a safe place in the middle for everyone to run to and we can take care of the 3rd and 4th knight from there.

The titan bubble is a crutch shared by other guardians in the fireteam. In trouble.....pop bubble..that otherwise might have ended up a death. So in essence what I'm saying is......GIT GUD lol.

There is always one fool who messes up the raid. But yeah I think having the person on the platform above the knight kill that knight is easier than sniping across to the opposite platform.
Warlocks are the solo specialists!
Do they even have malices? I know the thought here is everyone should have one, but I've been in a few PUG where people don't have ToM and can still beat oryx.
It really works either way at the end of the day. As long as people kill the acolyte eyes. I tell everyone to kill acolyte eyes lol.
This is true. If you plan on dying in Destiny, Warlock's your class. They're the best at it!
Warlocks have the best melee options and the best grenades. Their max armor is almost as high as Titan's (difference being negligible tbh), with the highest base Recovery - making them effectively the most survivable class. Their Supers are all good, with Voidwalker's being on the weak side for PvE.
But yeah outside having ass-tier jumps (jumps are bad enough to make me hate the class and make it my least used), Warlock abilities are amazingly good and arguably the best in the game.

I would assume this late in the game and you're trying the challenge mode that they would have a malice.
True - it just seems like there is more room for problems to arise if you're trying to snipe, one missed shot and the ogre starts stampeding towards the middle.

Because it is the better overall sub-class in the game.
- Best one hit kill tracking grenade
- Best mid range melee with flame shield each hit (you will never loose on melee... in fact you will win even against supers)
- Best armor super with spam of the best grenade
- Best gun in the game TLALOC (Scout Rifle damage that fires like Auto Rifle)
A can say more... the others useless sub-classes needs to evolve a lot to reach Sunsingers levels.
Warlock jump has so much utility! I absolutely love it. Sometimes it messes me up, but for the most part, I don't mind it at all.
Try the Bungie gear manager if you have a computer near you. It's so fucking good and fast.
You not feeling nostalgic for how it used to be?
Seriously tho someone needs put a fire under the web teams ass to update their API.

Pros of living in the future..
Early Feb is usually quite warm, with dry winds. Feb is my least favorite month of the year, hate the heat.
Have fun, a lot of people at the theater were dressed up in jedi robes, as ewoks and jawas, some had lightsabers....should have carried mine too.
Last 30 mins!
How did you like it?
Must denounce warlocks and accept them as worst class if you want to be spoiler free
Do it. Do it for the good of our people.Must denounce warlocks and accept them as worst class if you want to be spoiler free
If last night CM run is the last raid run with the crew for the foreseeable future (till Destiny 2 or if Bungie adds a new raid (unlikely)) then it ended on a high ass note.
Fig to breezy: I will fucking murder you in your sleep
Context: Breezy had died due to getting too close to the Shade bubble. His death cost us an otherwise perfect run. Breezy died again after the wipe. Breezy joked about going next to the shade bubble again and that's when Fig made her "threat"
Fig to todd: *long list of things*
1. Todd not running to his bombs
2. Todd missing his knights
3. Todd forgetting his platform
4. Todd being late to said platform
Plus some more not listed.
For once, I didn't get yelled at!
We had a lot of laughs last night. It was hilarious.

Here's what I want:
LOADOUTS.
I want a PvE/PvP loadout for each subclass and/or strictly for different weapon loadouts. Then, a stupid 7th loadout to be above 311 for "decrypting" purposes since they can't just calculate your highest light or set a flag that says you've reached 300+ or 311+.
