Forgot to share this yesterday. A dumb animation I did Monday night to celebrate the ROI launch.

I took this:

...and made this:

This is wonderful. Absolutely.

He must have had a decent amount of input into Cayde's script, there's no way Bungie pulled off the quality of writing thete on their own.

I mean, android Mal is relative easy mode when you have the OG actor involved, but Cayde's prominence in TTK has overshadowed everything Bungie has ever written.

I really hope he's back for D2.

 

[Ambitious]

Anyone down for playing Argon Forge? I need a bunch of victories for a quest and some bounties. Just gonna finish a story mission real quick.

Seems like it is Silly to use Strike keys before you hit 365. Since Strike loot goes up to 385. Use the keys to go above 365.

Didn't know that, awesome tip.

 

[Zakalwe]

I remember something in the vidoc where you could add cool patterns and colors to your weapons and armor What's that and when does it come into play?

Exotic weapons. Ornaments. Found in the new Radiant reward boxes. You also need silver dust to install them (which is also found in the boxes, or you get 5 for breaking down unwanted exotic ornaments).

You can find ornaments for the MoT Armour sets too.

This is the microtransaction content. Aesthetic only, for guardians lucky with their weekly boxes or willing to spend on a little silver.

 

[Arrrammis]

Finally got a perfected SIVA offering, anyone 350+ want to give it a try?

 

[Hawkian]

Hawkian plays Guild wars 2... of course that man can do the jumping puzzle with ease lol

Hahaha I mentioned that to the group I was partied with last night as I was doing it... I play GW2 with a gamepad and even have a profile I switch to that basically puts me on Bumper Jumper just like Destiny, for stuff like the Mad King's Clocktower and Not So Secret.

I hope they put more in the game for you, Hawk

They won't.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

I completed almost all the new missions except for the Iron Horn. All I need are 4 more of the SIVA fragments. Are they fairly easy to find or should I just look them up?

 

[Strangelove77]

Any tips for beating the nightfall boss? We always end up dying when all the shanks come out. I'm assuming that's the last wave.

 

[Blunoise]

Afrocious I see you posting on twitter. Get back in here.


Also I'm confused how do I get one of the Iron Lords' artifact? I completed the story.

There is a side quest you get after completing the story, I think its the one to do good deeds in the Plaugelands

I have my own and would like to help out. But we'll definitely need more than us two. They are fucking crazy.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Stupid question:

How does one complete the Archon's Forge: Shanks bounty? I can only summon captains it seems.

Sorry to double post this, but I can't find any information. Does it just require a different Siva Offering?

 

[140.85]

Hahaha yeah it's pretty unforgiving, every rock is "real." After realizing that though, it is predictable at least.

I'm still salty about all the invisible walls once you get too high. :[

Art.

The offering you get will say what it will summon. RNG your way to victory. You can only hold one at a time so store it (scrap it if you can't) and keep hunting.

I'm up for it. Just doing random stuff, so invite me if it's a go.

 

[DjRalford]

Now I've hit 350 light increases have all but ground to a halt, my last 4 legendary engrams and legendary drops have all been at my light level and no higher.

I'm not opposed to spending a couple bucks to look like a badass. I assume there is some way to see what you would look like before spending the resources?

 

[JHall]

Arguably, pretty much anything is Shotguns: The Game Type now. The pair of Rumble games I played last night were 95% Juggernaut Strikers sprinting around with shotguns and almost never pulling out their primaries.

I haven't found Supremacy too bad as far as shotguns go. And, as eggydoo said, I'll happily take this over what most of TTK was (where "variety" was whether your opponents tended to hardscope or quickscope).

Edit: Top of the page whoops late for work no pic lol

That's the problem. Bungie has nerfed every other weapon into existence so shotguns are more powerful than ever. At least in HoWs days (golden age of PvP). There were weapons that could counter shotguns.

Still love the DLC though, Supremacy just gets on my nerves because of shotguns.

I can join...

 

[FyreWulff]

I love this, because, well, I'll never be able to carry people to Mercury, I'll never do a raid blindfolded, I'll never get a Seventh Column medal, I'll never have a min-maxed character, and I'll never top out my Grimoire. But fuck if I didn't get to the top of that mountain in under 20 minutes and have a blast the entire time. I'd take 20 more puzzles like it and spend some cash on my very first bit of Silver if Bungie put in the dev time to do that just for goofball players like me.

Destiny actually has super tight, responsive controls and great collision detection. There were some quirks to learn for this puzzle such as what a god-awful idea it is to push against the mountain and jump simultaneously, and how often you want to just let go of the stick during descents.

Yeah, I was used to the physics since it's pretty close to what they did for Halo 2 onwards, but I can understand the frustration with what feels like rubber rocks sometimes. Bungie likes to make their player physics model a little 'bouncy' like that.

 

[Farside]

I played the first five missions last night, but I haven't been to the jumping puzzle/top of Felwinter. Did I miss something, or is it in another quest?

Inb4 the raid has a jumping puzzle section

The peak was just the warm up guys!!

Down to try I have a 353 Titan. Won't be on for another hour and fifteen tho. :0

I found 2 of 5 last night for that quest. Still upset a pre-order bonus is behind a damn quest. Are there any guides out there yet with locations?

 

[140.85]

I had a perfected SIVA offering once.

Thought I'd try it out so I put it in and waited for the event to start. Doors closed. Aaaaand it's gone. -_-

Silly me for thinking things would operate like CoO.

 

[LTWood12]

I had something weird happen. I dismantled a 341 mark into a 335 mark and it became 342. What.

same thing happened to me w/ boots yesterday.

 

[Deku Tree]

Jumping to the top of the mountain is trash. The physics and the collision modeling and the point of view are garbage for jumping puzzles.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Also not getting to use all of our movement abilities sucked.

Still, a jumping puzzle that didn't involve other people waiting on you was nice.

 

[140.85]

I thought I was imagining things. This happened to me with a gun.

Bungie's way to make the content last longer.

Just did this. I feel bad for some people who are going to need to climb this.

 

[Zakalwe]

Thanks.

You can preview all of the ornaments. All you need to do is view the specific item, be it your own or another guardians, then hove over the Ornament perk holder and preview the skin. Same with the Iron Born armour pieces in the MoT.

 

[Hzoltan69]

Anyone on PS4 want to run some heroic strikes?

 

[zewone]

Two Relentless medals in this game. I love Supremacy, Rumble Supremacy not so much.

Definitely do this. He'll really appreciate it, he's really cool with his fans.

What are you talking about, I did it on my warlock easily!

Spoiler

I'm sooo lying - I spent the first 30 minutes dying and cursing until I realized I forgot to up my agility - after that I spent an additional 45 minutes dying and re-spawning near the beginning - I finally made it to the campfire and am very happy that I never have to do this again with my warlock

honestly though - one of the best pieces of information that I got from this thread is not to continue to press in the direction of my jump after launching. there seemed to be much less bouncing if I centered the initial directional input before landing.

 

[Kyne]

supremacy adds a new element to pvp.

nothing feels better than leaving a crystal out as bait and them coming from above with a shotgun.

 

[void666]

Last night before going to bed i decided to give the jump puzzle one last try. Bad idea.
Like 40 minutes later i did it, while silently swearing at bungie.

I can jump just fine. Never missed a platform in KF. But this is different. The rocks are like rubber. And the camera is not appropriate for this kind of thing.

Did the khvosthoviski quest. Some sweet nostalgia there. I don't think the gun is good though. Tried a few combinations as scout, auto, pulse. And it was meh in all of them. Even for patrol, killing tier 1 enemies it didn't feel good.

 

[Marvel]

Y tho

 

[SumptuousLemur]

What has been your best method of getting 351+ gear?

It needs a damage buff. With some combinations it has like 0 impact...

Was doing the quest pretty fast and smooth for Khovos?

 

[Ryck]

What made the jump puzzle easier for me is a buddy said to try to jump sideways when possible. It made a lot of jumps easy. Got up there twice yesterday.

 

[Marvel]

Heroic strikes my friend!

Me and the gang have been at it all day

Yeah they're pretty rife, had someone gunning me down in a supremacy game earlier with a sniper shotgun, or that's what it felt like.

 

[Deku Tree]

On the new devil's lair fight. If you melee a vandal at the end of the fight in the first big room while waiting for the door to decode, and the vandal starts helping you because you have that artifact, and it is the last enemy alive, then you have to wait until it becomes your enemy again and you kill it before you can advance to the next area. So dumb.

 

[zewone]

For some reason my sniper rifle went to 342 from a 341 infusion.

 

[The_blonde_and_blue]

Rando question: I have a few awesome y2 exotics (Jade Rabbit, bad juju, etc), can I just keep infusing them to reach y3 numbers?

Yep.
