Yeah, that was great guys. Just the exact experience I was looking for. Needing to get better at trials with people of similar mindsets. If only we had a coach....

Anyone else been having trouble with the Destiny servers this weekend? Counting tonight it's been the third time I've been booted midway through a crucible match because of "trouble with the destiny servers". What gives!?

You're used to one of the fastest pulse rifles there are in the game with your Grasp of Malok. I have to use my god roll Hopscotch Pilgrim to match it in Time-to-Kill. lol.

My new favorite weapon(after 6+ hours of strikes) in Destiny is Sunsinger + Sunbreakers + Radiant Skin = 12 Solar grenades to set the world on fire. You can cover strike bosses in glorious fire and nuke them. It's fun. Super fun.

Now what you need is 4 more like that, and you can repeat the youtube video by having all 5 popping radiance and raping the enemy side.

Rift with randoms is the worst.
I keep getting leavers and then I just get spawn killed. No bueno

Thanks for the smooth run guys. Its a shame about flawless....

It wouldn't have been flawless cause people died and self res'd etc, but was almost a zero wipe raid which is still pretty good.
GG guys.

It's infinitely better than the Conspiracy though but yep Matador is still king. I still weep at the thought of deleting mine
Why did you? After losing Shot Package I re rolled again and have Aggressive Reinforced Rangefinder and Battle Runner on mine.
Dude Thorn Matador Benevolence and BTRD should never be dismantled

Because I just wanted to use Yr2 weapons so I wouldn't have to readjust for LL enabled stuff and I never thought that drop rates would be so shit. It took till last week to get an Agg/Rifled PC+1 :d
If I still had one Close and Personal and Kneepads would be the dream

Titan - 334
Hunter - 332
Warlock - 331
Getting there. Can pretty much focus on getting good stat rolls etc now and still stay above 330 on all characters which is nice.

Not calling you a tryhard, but that is a loadout a tryhard would use. Kappa.

My core group of buddies can't beat Oryx. I've done it of course with some other friends, These guys have beat aetheon on normal and hard, Crota normal and hard, skolas and we have all been playing since launch. We just can't get it as this group.
It's so fucking weird, we can get to oryx without wiping or any problems then it's oryx and boom.
So frustrating I really want to get it for a few of those dudes

where are you guys getting stuck?
JetBlackPanda

It's a mess.
We can get the ogres and knock back oryx then it all falls apart, the timing on bombs is never right.
Are you guys doing countdowns before ENTERING the bombs?
There's 30 seconds before you have to detonate the bomb. Use that time to clear ADS and coordinate who's going where.
JetBlackPanda
Member
30 seconds? We are definatly rushing that part then. I will let everyone know to take our time and call out bombs on a countdown. You have to all enter them at the same time right?
NeOak
Member
Yes, all four should enter at the same time. Whoever is outside of the relic's buff will die when the bombs detonate.
Stephen_drewz
Member
Usuaully you'll stay in the aura and clear adds to make your run to the bombs safer. Once adds are cleaned up tell everyone to get to their bombs but wait just outside the detonation area, then countdown 1, 2, 3 and everyone jumps in at the same time. Practice that and everything should be ALOT smoother.
Then piece it together 4 times.

Member
Thanks guys I think our biggest problem is always rushing to the point we lose track of what phase we are in etc.

Can't sleep. Anyone want to pvp?
tell me about it...lol it was amateur hour on saturday night...it took our group a while to pass thru totems and couldn't kill warpriest. I thought I was rusty since I haven't played the KF raid since late january but I held my own really well. anyway half the guys I was with were either passive or didn't know what they were doing when they got the brand which was annoying considering their light level was higher than my warlock, 316. Also, they didn't know how to prolong the brand effect (killing acolytes in the last seconds) thus hardly damaging the WP.
however I joined the_id's crew earlier and it didn't take our group that long to reach Oryx. It was like cutting thru butter with a hot knife...and killed Oryx after 5-6 tries. Felt like a vanguard strike overall.
If you are still on i can join in 10 mins.
The group we had was really good and well coordinated.
I think the vessel always spawns after a set amount of time (when the ship is in front), doesn't matter if you kill the ogres or not.

More varied bounties would be nice as would increased rep gains from bounties. The increased rep gained from strikes and crucible is great, but bounties should be increases too so they don't feel so pointless.

You can do most of the bounties whilst doing strikes? The patrol ones will pop if you get a strike on the right planet.
agreed.
Right now, basically all we get every day is:
- get element ability kills
- get element weapon kills
- patrol planet
- kill 50 enemy faction
- kill 10 major enemy faction
- melee kills/super kills/headshot kills/kills without dying/quick kills with heavy/special
that's it. incredibly uncreative. Add some other stuff and make some more challenging than others and then scale rewards based on difficulty. More difficult bounties give signifcantly better rewards and more rep. Give out guaranteed legendary/sublime engrams or guaranteed strange coins.

Hawkmoon is beast on the right maps. Having good fun with it. Not sure i'd try take it into trials just yet though, very new to using HC's.
EDIT: Anyone else using firefox always have issues with guardian.gg loading? Sometimes it works, most the time it doesn't, just get a blank screen.

If you're struggling at the bombs, remember you can do challenge mode and only have to worry about it once.
So I main a Titan but I have all 3 classes and I can tell you the movement of a hunter is far different than either a warlock or Titan. In my opinion it is the best class to control, the double and triple jump are very crisp. In pvp the nightstalker is a 1v1 beast with shade step and the hunted perk allows you information to get some great snipes on headglitchers.
It's a class I don't play often but playing it you can see why it is used at the highest levels of play. I think anyone who plays destiny a lot and hasn't given each class and subclass a good fair try is missing out. At the end of the day it comes down to preference but I would try out the hunter. It is unique if you are coming from a Titan warlock background.
Edit- also in terms of the bolded warlock and hunter are both similar in running speed if the spec is agility, where you really see the difference is in vertical movement and usability which is where the hunter has the edge in my opinion. I enjoy using my vertical space so that could be why I value the feel of the air game.

Does someone need to be shooting Oryx the whole time between stagger and detonation?
irrotational
Member
I think technically no - but do it anyway as you should have someone spare. The people who have solo'd it say you only need to shoot his chest about 1 second or so before detonation to "re-open" it...
