It really depends. If only one or two people get firefly it's okay. But more than that, atleast for me causes people to crash. The funny thing is you don't even have to be the cause for it to effect you.

Haven't ever crashed with either of those. Always took a luck in the chamber combo for me.
Edit: Nevermind, saw the edit in the post above about seeing the post above.

It is a bigger delta, that's true. Are we sure blue engrams went up to 300 at TTK launch? When the light level cap was 310? That doesn't sound right.
My last time was beating KF HM with Kadey and Drizz and I quit the game. That was pretty much about a year ago. That raid gave me PTSD cuz we were struggling with it for hours until someone left and Drizz came in to save the day. I still miss him.
It's been an issue since the launch of the Taken King. The original vendor Vanity hand cannon from FWC had LitC and Firefly, and it seemed to be the biggest culprit of causing the bug. But I've had Hung Jury cause it multiple times. One John of Mars fireflied so many thrall at once during a totems run that it actually hard crashed my system lol.

I feel like blue engrams stopped at like 275 at TTK launch, and only went up past 300 with the Taken Spring update.
They probably did this to prolong the grind to max out your LL. When TTK launched, we started at LL 150 or so if I remember correctly which was a long ways away from the 320 cap. With RoI, we only have 65 LL to go to reach the new cap which could be reached easily with more favorable drops.
Yeah, they definitely went to 300 at TTK launch. It was rare though.
Kor pls. The decryptions were random, but COULD decrypt up to 300. I think I maybe only ever saw a couple ever actually turn 300, but i got both my alts to 297+ just through decrypting blues my main picked up.
I may not know the difference between Larry David and Bob Odenkirk (see discord), but by God i know how high my blues can decrypt.
Hope an armor engram turns into an artifact. Then get a higher one in the raid.
Out of everything I tried the raid is the only consistent supplier of artifacts.

Eris rank up or raid.
I got mine in the Raid.
I've had about 3 drop from Trials end game screens.
ill cross my fingers
ive done the raid 3 times and have yet to get one
Eris rank up is a real grind.
Is that for winning consistently? I am not that great at trials.....That being said, I guess i better start putting in some extra work. Thanks everyone.
What is your overall LL?

Level up Eris Morn every week.
On your very first Court of Oryx of the week, you will get a bounty worth 250 rep. Finishing that will get you a bounty for 500 rep. Finishing that will get you a bounty worth 750 rep.
Thats 1500 rep in maybe 10-15 minutes. The rest should take another 15-20 minutes if you manage to find an instance with 3-4 other players. They are very lively nowadays due to this being the only way to earn Artifacts besides the final boss' first phase loot. EDIT: If you get a bounty that says you need to kill 10 Majors without dying use the Sky burner codes or wormfeeder runes to launch Hive or Cabal raiding parties. Should spawn at least 20 or so yellows.
That said, I leveled her up on all three characters this week, and once last week she only dropped the artifact once. She gave me two class items and refused to drop anything for hitting rank 4 with my hunter. So the drops are still 50/50 and only kick in after you hit rank 5.
Just do the raid three times a week and hope for the best.

Run the raid, I've gotten two from the 4th boss and now that my main is high enough any future artifact drops I can infuse into alts. The first 4 bosses any group 360-365 can do without any major difficulties, its just the last boss thats a LL check. If you dont want to grind up to 365 can just wait, Bungie has said they will introduce new ghosts and artifacts in existing stuff (strikes, PVP, etc) to make it easier soon. Iron Banner also may be a good shot.
Cleared the raid today after 2 hours with a destinyLFG pug, everyone was 370-372 and that imo made it a lot easier with fewer deaths. Still, it will be a lot easier once everyone is 385 or so and the extra damage will make it probably 3 rounds max. Still a few bugs hit, like balls being invisible or captains vanishing.
If you have any skeleton keys, blue artifacts can drop from them that will scale with your light level. Although they are blues, they can drop ABOVE 365.

In addition to Eris rank-up packages and the raid, skeleton key chest also have a chance of dropping up-to-385 blue artifacts in addition to the strike specific legendary loot.

A friend is 3/3 getting artifacts to drop out of the skeleton chest on Valus. I haven't tried for myself yet.

Skeleton Key chests are almost guaranteed Artifact drops.
Cool okay, so that's 4.
I can make a more formal post a bit later as it gets nearer and see if we can grab a couple more.

I can help, but I haven't done the raid before. PSN MrJCJacobs
If you have a skeleton key, run the Malok strike. Guaranteed blue artifact drop along with the Hood of Malok. Just pray you don't have my RNG. I keep getting Legendary Engrams that drop at my same exact light level. It's been happening to me this whole weekend. So infuriating.

Thanks for the great info! Also that would be nice if IB dropped artifacts, I know when you hit ranked 5, ghosts starting dropping, hopefully its the same way.
Yea problem is finding the damn skeleton keys. I still have one to get through story on another character, I plan on using that to try and get an artifact tonight.
You should try the Angel's Advocate. It's the mida archetype with outlaw, explosive rounds, and reactive reload. It's a really fun primary to roll with.

The fact that ghosts and artifacts don't have engrams is the mistake. Or just take LL out of them.
I wish. Opened 3 chests so far and got weapon or class item. Saving my 4th key for possible Thorn. Quest to show up.
It's too balanced so there is nothing exciting. Cool weapon though.
NP, we're all also pretty much virgins at the raid
I didn't get it. Can you send it again?
I need it on my Warlock.
Jack of all trades, master of none. Not really worth an exotic slot. I don't see it being terribly overpowered as a legendary. More people would use it too.

Nostalgia hype. It's a fun PVP gun but nothing super amazing about it.
