Anyone willing to carry a 313 scrub through the Nightfall?

 

[JohnOfMars]

dudes, none of the engrams I decrypted last night were even close to higher light level than what I already have.

Wasn't smart loot supposed to be improved or is that only through the content that is advertised to drop up to 330-335 LL?

To quote the patch notes:

Legendary and Exotic drops from many (not all) sources now attempt (not guarantee) to drop with Attack or Defense greater than your current character light level​

That's for drops only. Engrams aside from Exotics don't do this:

- Legendary Engrams max Light increased to 310
- Rare Engrams max Light increased to 310​

313 is actually high enough. Use telesto or a combination of truth + void sniper.
1 can run one with you tomorrow if you still need it.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

I'll go ahead and start. The first area is easy. Fireteam is set to open.

Anyone on FL that needs a quick NF we have room for the first person that joins.

Hey sorry, something came up, are you still in the nightfall? And what is your PSN?

 

[Acidote]

I'll try to find two people to do one now, but I'll need people tomorrow too for the alters.

So, looking for 2 people for the Nightfall.

Add me: Acidote. Fireteam is open.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

If anyone needs one for NF let me know...I see a few requests not sure if they all got filled.

Add me you too and come with us.

 

[Mindlog]

PSN is same as GAF - Mindlog

I'm at the boss now. Was distracted and made it all the way here.
Two spots available I think.
I think there are two teams worth of people. I don't know.

Only from vanguard, crucible, house of judgement, strike specific gear, trials of orisis, iron banner, weekly crucible and faction packages

Hate to say it, but Thorn still feels way better than Hawkmoon. I just don't feel as dirty using Thorn now.

 

[TheAngryMonkey]

I still can't get into Hawkmoon. I mostly dislike hand cannons across the board but I can do work with Thorn.

 

[xplicitone]

So I took Monday through Wednesday off this week for dark souls, Destiny and division. All I really played was destiny Hahaha. And today, I woke up at 2pm -_- #DayWasted

I might be down for a nightfall or challenge or even raid from Totems or golgy.

 

[ocean]

PoE Challenge is nice. If the boss rotation isn't too short it might provide a few weeks of fun

 

[Mass Appeal]

Not sure, I think it's 1 pm PST.... It's 75 minutes from the time of this post.

Ah ok. I think 10 cet is 2 PST but either way I don't get off work till 1 PST so earliest I would be home by is 1:30 pst. I don't want to hold you guys up so someone can take my spot.

 

[xplicitone]

Solo PvP is actually enjoyable again and PvP yea I s are pretty fun again as well, so im happy.

Spoiler

We'll see what happens come Trials

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Like I said last week

Bungie cannot stop the monster that is Thorn

they never will

they never shall

they can try to weaken it

they'll only strengthen it

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

PoE Challenge is nice. If the boss rotation isn't too short it might provide a few weeks of fun

Yeah, plus the modifier makes it more interesting.

PoE 41 on the other hand....no reason to do it more than once a week for that free treasure box.

 

[TalentBurke]

what's the best way to get a ghost that's above 320?

 

[Dthomp]

Anybody looking to raid? NM or HM I don't really care, just want to have fun and get some useful infusion mats since I'm stuck around the 310-314 range so even some NM drops would most likely be helpful, (or at least I have no problem helping out with people who are new or only done it a few times...don't really care)

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

CoE
Totems
Nightfall

 

[TalentBurke]

CoE
Totems
Nightfall

Thanks, anybody want to run some Challenge of the elders? I don't think there's anyone raiding at the moment.

 

[Mindlog]

Nightfall is actually kind of an easy solo except that I always forget about those stupid tracking orbs. Thanks for the save on that one.

17 Strange coins.
I'm sure that will be useful for something.

 

[Acidote]

307 shell in the Nightfall when I have a 320, really?

 

[xVaalbarAx]

That sucks man :/

Yeah, the tunnel is a great place to hunker down until he tosses those out, especially if you don't have eyes at both openings to see where they're coming from.

ah sorry about that...got into one before I saw your msg

What was your light level when you finished the nightfall?

 

[Acidote]

What was your light level when you finished the nightfall?

313. I guess the improved drops are for 320+

 

[Mindlog]

NP at all.

I actually head them coming both times they killed me it just never registered that I should move.

I can run that. Mic still doesn't wok, but it's basically get headshots and assists right? That's easy enough.

Late reply :]

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

Anyone want to group up for Challenge of Elders at 6 PM EST (2 hours from now)? I should be off work and done with dinner by then. Would like to run it until we get the 90K, so 2 or 3 runs.

[xplicitone]

My favorite part of this update. I can stop fussing over a million different pulse rifles and just buy that one now. If I decide to play PvP again it's there.

Yea, I'm actually glad I ACCIDENTALLY selected the wrong first node which didn't have as much stability and range and I tested it like that for a game and I said ehhh... it's not that good. Once I switched that node O_O it's pretty awesome.

Xplicitone - that looks like an awesome Swarm! I got a void one early in year 1 as one of my first legendaries for dealing with minotaurs and it was awesome!

I got a shadow price with handlaid stock and counterbalance - I assume that's good for PvP with that much stability?

In terms of heavies - I would try to get a raid machine gun, or any of the slower firing higher impact ones. RL's are only useful for PvP and maybe the prison of E.

Is anyone still playing on Xbox and want to do challenge mode in around 6 hours!?

That sounds like a pretty good Shadow Price. Picture!

That's got nothing on the one I just got:

hahahaha that like a sprinkler

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

313. I guess the improved drops are for 320+

No, you should have received an item 313 or higher by a max of 6 light.

Guess there are some inconsistencies in smart loot still, as others have reported getting lower light items from exotic engrams as well.

So I've just been unlucky? lol

I would be, for both. Especially court.



EDIT..I mean challenge..doh..I am mixed up today

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

I see your look of shocked disbelief. Trust me, I couldn't believe they let something that powerful out the door either.

I present to you my salty xbox tears. :'''''''(

First off I want to let all our sexy clan mates know that you'll continue to see the same quality clan tag on your guardian for the forseeable future. We have no plans to alter our day to day operations.

I'd like to thank T-44 for his long friendship in the Sexy Clan and our long lasting friendship. I'd also like to thank Kadey for continuing to invite me to crucible trains even though I'm usually on Vita, or bailing mid match to put a kid back to sleep.

Okay cool. Thanks for clearing that up guys.

 

[Moose_Wrangler-]

What is the consensus on a good pvp auto rifle that isn't Suros Regime?

I got a Grim Citizen III (grave robber, perfect balance/smallbore, and glass half full) last night but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Could one consider this a decent alternative until one can rng into a SR?

 

[mehrmantrout]

Hate to say it, but Thorn still feels way better than Hawkmoon. I just don't feel as dirty using Thorn now.

Now I'm over first day hype, it's not that great. Mida/Pulse/Shotgun - TLW/Sniper is still king

Overall I'm pretty disappointed with how little (if any) crucible has changed, snipers and sunsingers are the same, lag and worldwide match making is still the denominator. If they don't update it between now and the expansion it will die out

I haven't tried any AR's as they're probably the most mind numbingly boring weapons to use

Edit new map rotation is non existent as well, so far I've played cauldron

 

[optimus8936]

Quick question, I was playing a match of mayhem and in the kill feed it said one of my teammates were taken. What does it mean by he was taken?

 

[TheTylerDurden]

It means they have a full set of taken armour and used the taken twitch emote.

Probably used the emote or the emote was used on him
