The Raid got reset on Tuesday, but the boxes are still yellow in the app. Does this mean I can't get loot?

You're fine; I had that glitch happen to me too.

Pay day: turning in four or five bounties at once, leveling up the Cryptarch, turning in a bunch of engrams, leveling up your weapons and gear.

I got some exotic bounties for turning in five regular bounties at once, but they were all for weapons I didn't want. Dang it.

I do that all the time. Love going to the tower after a few hours of play and just organizing the spoils of war.

Most of the time I have trouble coming out of the portal is because (outside of glitches) the supplicant team let too many supplicants crowd the exit. I have no defense to a supplicant waiting outside the portal because I'm dead as soon as I spawn.

To be fair supplicants can spawn right behind the portal and when its open you can't see. I have made it a habit to toss a grenade either way when the time team says they are coming out. If I see any harpies I always try and warn them.

Multiple streams I watched claimed that sprinting out of the portal can cause issues. We ran into these problems when we tried. We found that walking and going one by one eliminated almost all of those issues.

I ran full speed every. single. time. about 30% of the time I found myself still on the wrong "end" after crossing.

YAY NEW TACTICS

Second time through the raid. Done in little over an hour his time and then we went searching for the fifth chest. Didn't find it. Missed the entrance to it so no idea if it was there or not.

Got the Hawkmoon from Atheon! :D

It helps to run through the portal and keep running straight past the pillar toward the back wall. Walking through the portal and just standing on the other side = supplicant death.


edit: and yeah, running or jumping through the portal can cause issues, like not teleporting at all.

Yes so much of the issues our group has is coming out from the damn portal. WHERE AM I ITS BUGGED AHHH.

no its not just walk slow and head toward the time gate ring if if that's hard to you.

I think the thing is that some folks just panic when they just need to slow it down, get their bearings, and then go.

Timing is everything. Even if the outside team is shredding supplicants, if the inside team exits just as a new wave of supplicants arrive, it's tough. Also, sometimes a supplicant or two can "hide" on the far side of the portal and become harder to take out quickly. That said, towards the end of our run, they really weren't much of an issue that I can remember.

I felt like being outside was much easier than being inside. Those last couple of nights, from my spot, it seemed like almost all the fails were from issues on the inside or when the inside team would emerge and have trouble navigating to the center. I mean, I'm not very good and look at this summary:

Outside of wipes, I think I only died a couple of times and, being the sunlock that I am, I just self-rezzed and kept going. And I was playing pretty aggressively.
Click to expand...

Having been on both sides, I think going inside as the backup is easier as long as the relic holder has his shit together. That part is key though. The inside backup only needs to worry about Oracles while the relic holder cleans up mobs and is on top of cleansing. Outside messing with supplicants, hopping pillars, while dodging Aetheon is much more active and complicated.

What really began to help me was thinking: "fuck looking for where to go, look for OTHER PEOPLE." I ran toward the tags then we all moved as a group, and I started to screw up a lot less when it came to exiting the portals.

Yeah I know, I've been on supplicant duty before :) In my regular GAF group we haven't had a problem with supplicants since our initial stab at the raid a few weeks ago. But when I do a pick up group for my alt, sometimes it can be frustrating.

Is it worth using sunsinger? I feel like it has no attacking options. The Nova bomb is just so destructive and surge is an awesome ability

And should I focus on armor? Right now I just have speed and recovery boosted

Probably the most highly regarded super skill in the game, that self rez.

Atheon doesn't do much really. He does nothing while the supplicants are up and running during the inside phase and, during Time's Vengeance, there's plenty of cover spots-- I never felt in danger from him.

Anyone have tips for the nightfall this week? Maybe some safe spots or good strategies?

Under the deck is pretty good but you can still take damage.

You are pretty safe camping the entrance but not much opportunity to shoot. Have to pop out and expose yourself but you can retreat and there is nothing nasty that spawns up there to shoot you in the back.

Damn Bungie really didn't think this iron banner mode through. Need something to keep people from quitting asap.

Yep, easiest thing to do would have been to give a guaranteed blue engram after every match with winners getting a bonus on top. That would make everyone happy - can't have that ;)

Watch your grenade cooldown... the strength of your melee is also amplified a lot.

It's just using the super. If you have a super bar, you die, you use it. No more death.

This is why I insist that people stand on both pillars if possible.
The person on the opposite pillar can notify and/or shoot down incoming supplicant from a distance.

I dont' know what perks you have on yours, but mine has such a ridiculous stability that it's basically a high powered AR. Best heavy MG in the game imo.

Solar, or, if you're accurate, Fusion. I haven't found a use for the other one, but I'm happy to be corrected if ti's great.

But it's a fundamental part of the mode. I should still be able to revive people and get points. WTF.

Again, it was 100% exploitable. Rezzing is still an absolutely crucial part of Skirmish. They just fixed an exploit the only way possible.
