what february mask event?
Urk said the February event would be small, on par with the Halloween Mask event.

what february mask event?
It will be a small event similar in size to festival of the lost, probably in February. Everything else is speculation.
Think you both misread my post. I was saying your group was one of the first to make it to Crota; which i'm almost positive you were since you guys only had one wipe up to that point.
Destiny should be a game about the satisfying combat and the search for loot that changes how you play the game
Be so freaking cool if the "small" event was a
3 day Destiny 2 alpha
Bingo.
This is why I loved VoG. Not only every weapon was unique and was great in some instances, but... elemental primaries / carrots. Just need to balance them better WITH kinetic primaries (whether it's perks or stats).
I understand why since everyone just had Fatebringer equiped but because there was hardly a reason to not have it equiped. Give us reasons to equip other guns in other scenarios and that would solve the problem. Not take it away from us completey.
Yes!
Nothing's confirmed yet. I promise that as soon as I've confirmed any of what I've heard, you guys will know. I haven't heard anything about F2P. That seems unlikely.
Let me be clearer: Bungie's plan was originally, as I reported, to do events and maybe a few other free content drops -- although I think they were mulling over charging for some of those, too -- up until D2 in fall of 2016. The rumblings I've heard are that, as of the past week or two, this plan has changed. I have not yet been able to confirm the specifics of what the roadmap looks like now, but it's impossible to know if it'll be a "good" or "bad" thing until we actually see what kind of content they put out over the next two years.
Of course, if you read my story from October you know that Bungie has been constantly rebooting and shifting plans during the development of Destiny, so if this is true, it isn't too much of a shocker. Either way I think we'll hear officially within the next week.
Bingo.

Hmmm... I miss running VoG and CE. Too bad no one wants to run them anymore. KF is good, but it doesn't top VoG for me. All of the VoG encounters are just so well done, KF is more about mechanics and teamwork than it is shooting aliens, to me. I will admit, Golgoroth is probably one of the most well designed bosses in the game.
What if elementals could be fed by consumables (solar damage for X minutes), or every nth bullet aka LiTC was an elemental. Hmmm
Bingo.

For me Year 1 was a hell of a lot more fun that Year 2 has been thus far. They changed it from chasing these amazing weapons (VoG) to chasing numbers. I still don't have that 1 moment that has been comparable to when I got my Fatebringer, Vex, and yes the Mighty Gjallarhorn after 6 months and over 1000 hours spent chasing it. That first time firing it and going whoa, so that's what all the fuss has been about.
I love your optimism Colonel

I'll run either when ever and as many times as ever, I miss playing VoG, still the best Destiny experience to be had.
Buy why? Like shields aren't that common. The only time Elementals really mattered was Nightfalls with burns, but most weeks don't have burns.
I want more weapons that complement subclasses. This weapon gives my void abilities a boost.
Let's get some real builds, rather than just some flavor.
Absolutely.
Nicely put.
Y1 - chasing awesome gear.
Y2 - chasing a number.
Vanilla Destiny was to me the best state this game was ever in.
Hunter should be using Ace of Spades man!So lately I've been wanting to use HCs again, I've stopped using them after the initial TTK patch that destroyed a lot of them. I've been using now the 3 classes (started a titan only on TTK) but I don't want them to share weapons.
So, thematically and in practice, which exotic HCs (so I don't depend on getting the right perks for legendaries) do you think suit best each class?
For me it's been Hawkmoon for Hunter, TLW for Warlock (and that melee snipe) and I don't have ideas for Titans, just felt they don't suit a HC, but that is because I just started using one.
Yeah, the cave took us two attempts though I wouldn't call the first a real attempt since the game really fucked rodiard over with that fall damage death.Hmm if Nami's 40-45 minute estimate to reach Crota is accurate then I don't think that's quite right either.... I found the BWU and they actually posted the Top 5 finishes, which were all in 46 minutes or less:
https://www.bungie.net/7_bungie-weekly-update---01222015/en/news/news?aid=12516
So must have all reached him in <40 minutes, but these details aren't that important. The important part is that Team Husk kicked some ass up and down the raid that day
salty edit:
Triple's quote about how world's first beat them:
Our group wholly decided that we wanted to compete for the world's first Hard Mode completion straight up and honest. It was wholly satisfying and we couldn't be happier even though we didn't get the technical #1 finish."
Who came up with the middle strat for Crota? That was a god send for Hard Mode. Oh man...I wasn't a member of GAF back then. Having to get LFG groups and have people empty entire clips because they were too cheap with their coins and never wanted to buy heavy ammo. That was some straight up nonsense back then. I did get the Crux on my second HM Crota kill. I never got the Hammer until 2 weeks before TTK release.
Any one up for HM Daughters and Oryx? I have the cp after golg, so there might be some jumping involved.

Basically, as some of us have previously stated in older OTs, it's FUN to feel like a complete badass (this entails having badass weapons). Weapons have been nerfed to the ground. Elemental primaries were Taken. There is no more badass feeling with weapons. No more weapons that people REALLY want anymore.
The only exotics I really use are TLW and Mida for PvP (And Truth for heavy round when I remember to switch)
PvE is always a shitty raid weapon since it's my highest light and raid primary drops >= 314 (for fusion purposes) are about as rare as good connection in 2 consecutive PvP matches. I hate that raid crap is mostly infusion fodder. That's not how it should be.
Why are you posting the picture of Okey?
Sleeper Simulant and Exotic swords are ok, but nothing like year 1 Gjallarhorn.Basically, as some of us have previously stated in older OTs, it's FUN to feel like a complete badass (this entails having badass weapons).

3 more people needed!
Pre-Patch Epilogue melted people. Post Patch it turned into a pile of poo. It was the weapon I used post patch to get my Thorn however.No not you Epilogue, you sucked. Lol
Alright, looking at the time post from the old thread, these are the "real" times
From my pic, it looks like we started the raid at 1:10 PM EST
From Noomi's post timestamp, we beat the bridges at 1:30 PM EST
So 20 minutes spent from loading in to completing bridge.
From Death's post, we made it to Crota at 1:40 PM EST.
Looks like we made it to the big baddie in just half an hour.
As shitty as HM Crota was (and it was indeed shitty in so many ways); it's probably the most fun I've had overall from a hard mode encounter (probably the most salt too). Nothing has matched the frantic fun to me of having a good crew of six in the early days that executed on all cylinders. So much micromanagement.
Who's putting down the bubble in the crystal room?
Who is taking which side?
Who are our orb generators?
We all need to run out at the same time.
Frantic run as a group to the window ledge.
Eyes on Swordbearer, where the fuck is he?!
We need to burn him now!
"Hawkian, DrDrizzay101,iRawrsauras etc has picked up the sword"
Cue music
I pop my bubble just so on the right side, in the perfect spot to aggro boomers and crota.
"Rockets."
Jump out of my bubble
Gjallarhorn beeping
Wolfpack rounds going off like the 4th of July
"Rockets"
We all fire and immediately frantically run back to the crystal room.
"Don't ADS the swordbearer"
"T-44 quit picking up ammo and get in the room. You're pulling him to the side"
"Crota's moving, Ogre room after this guys"
Burn Swordbearer
Bubble
Rockets
Repeat
"Ogre Room!"
"Watch those cursed thrall"
Inevitably someone has trouble getting up high in the room
Ogre comes out and is immediately met with six grenades and black hammer/LDR shots to the face
"Can someone make an orb or two I'm about to die"
Snipe other ogre
"Everyone grab your blessing and let's go"
"Shit cursed thrall!"
90 seconds of quiet waiting in the crystal room
"Keep eyes on the sword bearer"
LTWood12 dances with Macello
T-44 points
"He's moving, let's go"
LDRs and Hammers
Hawkian, DrDrizzay101, iRawrsauras has picked up the sword
Cue music
Bubble Down
"Rockets!"
Fireworks
Enrage!
Crota summons the Oversoul
"Hit him"
Everything we've got left to shoot gets blasted at Crota's shield.
"Fuck yes!"
-------------------
I did this fight with more first timers than any other final boss, so that probably has something to do with my fondness for it. So many people happy to finally beat the bastard and get a primary.
Hunter should be using Ace of Spades man!
Yeah I guess I was just remembering it seeming incredibly fast to me how soon y'all made it to him. I wasn't keeping up with the other groups really.

So 10 minutes at deathsingers + clearing ads
Looks like we made it to the big baddie in just half an hour.
I want to run it but won't be available until probably about 5:45est. If you run multiples let me know please.
Pre-Patch Epilogue melted people. Post Patch it turned into a pile of poo. It was the weapon I used post patch to get my Thorn however.
I bet it was Todd wasn't it?I actually remember doing Crota when it first launched.
Our group was a sort of B team around GAF, maybe even a C or D team.
Anyway, I can't remember who it was, but I remember we were all getting frustrated because one of the guys running with us was watching one of you guys streaming more than he was actually playing.
That person caused us to wipe at the Bridge like 6 times in a row because he would just stop moving as he was watching you guys. Was super frustrating.
I don't think we made it past the bridge at all since everyone was getting pretty pissed about it.

Which is why Diablo 3 loot is mad fun.
+318% damage against frozen enemies
Equip active skill to freeze the Frick out of everyone and then GO TO TOWN
I really miss VoC, FB and even WoC.
No not you Epilogue, you sucked. Lol
I wasn't a member of GAF at the time but I was following the thread like crazy back then. I remember how positive the posting was up until Crota. It was soul crushing even as a non member back then. They really did a number HM back then.
I still love running the sword on Crota. That was always fun to me.
yeah! I've been trying to get my Gunsmith level on my hunter just to test that weapon.
So, Hawkmoon to who? What should be the exotic HC of a Titan? Is the Warlock worthy of TLW?
3 more people needed!
If you're not using Tlaloc with your warlock you're doing it all wrong.
Tlaloc + 1kYS + MG or RL = WIN
Especially Stormcaller holy crap Have Super? TLALOC WRECKS.
Use Super? Lightning wrecks.
Titan = TLW plus 1kYS or Burden of Proof and MG/RL
Hunter: don't ask me but Ace of Spades is good, I think Imprecation might be now too
Hawkmoon on the Titan as it's slow but powerful just like a Titan.yeah! I've been trying to get my Gunsmith level on my hunter just to test that weapon.
So, Hawkmoon to who? What should be the exotic HC of a Titan? Is the Warlock worthy of TLW?
Disclaimer:
I don't ever remember actually calling out T-44 for not getting back to the Crystal room, but since I couldn't remember a specific person, he's the the only one I felt like I could throw under the bus lol.
