You know, I misunderstood figa. I thought we were talking about blowing yourself up by shooting your Gjallarhorn while inside a Titan shield.
I've done it too many times!

Most of them cheesed it and/or got the Athean checking from someone. What I want to know is the percentage of people who completed a full hard run.

Best shotty I've used by far. It craps on the Universal Remote in my experience.
Well about 99.9% of the game isn't about coordinating and strategizing either. ¯_(ツ_/¯
Yeah I know unfortunately. They tried and failed. Just as they failed at trying to get me to play super mario

Lead raid designer talked about how he wants all the raids to "build a vocabulary" with new verbs and nouns, so I fully expect the future ones to not be based around relics and oracles but possibly still incorporate them somewhat.
3 raid pieces and 1 exotic for 30 (or 4 raid pieces). Getting 2 raid gear drops in 1 raid is fantastic luck, no need for frowny face. I know people who have done 7 full raids with 0 gear drops.
Found Verdict is pretty much what I use in PVP right now. I would like to use Invective but I prefer an exotic for my Primary.

I'm guessing Hive are what we are going to battle + Crota as the boss for 1st DLC
I wouldn't be shocked a new type of shrieker replaces oracles
Praetorians/Minotaurs are uber Knights with Swords
The relic shield now is the Relic Sword (Sword of Crota), stab away at those Knights coming down and milk the blood to awaken their Deity just so you can murder it
Trash will consist of Thralls/Acolytes
Every so often 3 random players will get ported into a Wizrd chamber, where you'll have bash the sorceresses who were doing a seance that shields Crota, beat them to get a buff for 30 seconds
2 possible ports Wizard port Green has 2 Wizards One Arc Shielded/One Void Shielded
Then Solar Shield Underneath
Yellow port has 2 Knights, same concept
Yes I have a weird creative thought just like Bungie!
I love Invective for PvP!
Having said that, when I want to use an exotic primary or heavy, Found Verdict is a wonderful substitute...even if it has one of the ugliest models in the game.
It was just under 1% before the Atheon cheese became widespread. I'd guess no more than 2% (although all the extra level 30s and Mythoclasts may have bumped it up a bit)

Welcome to Wolf Pack brother.My Gjallahorn is ready for tomorrow.
Just need to gather some more Helium and i can max it out.
How can grinding be boring with all that ass to cushion it?
Which means that for any other content than raid hard mode, attack stat is useless and leveling weapons to max is useless since everyone is overleveled compared to the enemies. This system keeps boggling the mind.
It was at 0.2% the week the glitch went mainstream, then it jumped up to 1% the following week, last time I heard it was at 1.7%

I bet it's less than 1%. Less than 1% of the Destiny "population" has completed the raid on hard.
Awesome. Can't wait to start leveling it up.
Now I'm sad.
If only Bungie were so kind.
The reason, I'm guessing, is because they want the raid to be all inclusive.
You know only one will be using it.
I already called dibs, fig!!
No I do! I played a lot of Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi!
Since I am on Xbox, there is no access to badass statics

Alright kids. After attempting to get a group together on destinylfg (lots of shady characters on there looking for money), I have decided to come here instead. My regular group has already run through hard for the week but I still have to do it.
So, tonight, 7pm ET, 6pm CT, I'd like to do a run through of the raid on hard on PS4.
Me: level 29 defender titan, completed the normal raid a few times and have cleared the gatekeeper part on hard. Will need an experienced team to help me out. I come with Hawkmoon, maxed Shadow Price, Ice Breaker, raid RL among other weapons.
If you are interested, please hit me back on this thread and I'll get a list together.Give me your PSN ID, level, and subclass and I'll hit you back with an FR. First come, first served with a preference to experienced level 30s.

3 pieces + Exotic, so you need feet and your set
With a maxed Exotic and those 2 pieces + a legendary, you should be 29.5

I bet Luke is somewhere reading this and saying "CRAP! SCRATCH EVERYTHING! We need to go back to the drawing board."
I think we'll definitely see some new mechanics.
Next raid is a hive one. I'm hoping for some kind of a darkness mechanic, maybe with one member of the team holding an artifact that shines a light and they have to guide the team through a dark maze. Maybe with enemies.
Hive are known for interdimensional nonsense. Hope this doesn't devolve into the hive equivelant of timestreams.
Doubt it will happen but I hope we also get more variety with bosses. Not just big version of current. I have a feeling if we do fight Crota its just gonna be a beefed up knight with a sword
I found it a nice little gimmick but was very grateful they never used it again. What would be added by repeating it?
Now if they could have added a few different one time gimmicks, that would have been nice for variety's sake. If I really want to play with swords I'm playing the wrong game.
I've been part of the Wolf Pack before Xur even sold it.Welcome to Wolf Pack brother.
I just haven't unlocked the last two upgrades for till this past weekend. I had all but those two unlocked for three weeks.

Here is my warlock. This is how she will look until DLC drops with new gear, but until then she will look just like hundreds of other warlocks.
I don't feel unique or "Legend", too little variety in gear at end game.
What shader are you wearing here?
I am guessing you never played Halo with the energy sword.
My first raid a bunch of us kept doing it without putting two and two together. Felt so dumb afterwards. I still die too frequently in the relic bubble for reasons I can't figure out. I know to avoid splash damage. I know what not to throw and whatnot. Still that shield is more dangerous than anything else in the raid to me.
On average when tackling Atheon with random groups using the shield can take 5+ cycles. Not using the shield usually means a more experienced group which means 3 or fewer cycles.
It's a total K/D of 25 spread over multiple matches, not for one match. So if you keep ending games with 1.1 or higher, you'll get it eventually.
To boost your current .80, I would recommend you just keep playing. Doing well in PvP is mostly learning the maps and their routes. Stick with something like Control where you know enemies/allies will congregate at certain areas so you can lie in wait or turn a corner ready to shoot.

Another legendary engram, another ascendant energy...
If I wanted materials, I'd do the raid. Thanks Bungie

On average it should take you 2-3 portal trips in the shield. If you go to the middle platform stay away from the left side where there's a little wall. The splash damage can enter the shield from there. Weird bug. You want to have the shield and group closer to the forest portal side of the middle platform.

Love new Defender Titans on Raid dropping their Bubble right on top of the Relic Holder bubble, negating all damage to be done to Atheon
Put it in the back, you should know by now what the Bubble is used for and what it can and can't let you do

If anyone is raiding, add me. I already beat Atheon, but I haven't done any of the rest of the raid. I won't leave on Atheon either. By the Traveler's light

...and? This is just my opinion, I know many (possibly the majority) disagree.
Sword combat was extremely shallow. They would have to either implement a whole new combat system for the swords, or leave it as a gimmick and hopefully add a few more such things. Personally I would have preferred the latter (we got neither)
And sis!
Yeah, I remember it too. I even got a screen shot of when I unlocked it and it was at 0.1%
If they are new, they probably don't know what the strat is/was in the beginning...
Doesn't even need to be 1.0+, seeing as assists count as kills.
My advice is to play team deathmatch and stick with your teammates.

27 strange coins (18 from 2 character heroic runs, 9 more from nightfall. meh.). I need The Last Word from Xur!

Not too bad, was in a slump.
