Being level 30 in the towers gets you a lot of beggers hoping that you can be their slave.
Faction class item?

btw i found out yesterday that you can use the mythoclast to get the "kill 2 enemies with a fusion rifle 20 times". just kill 2 enemies really quickly for a double kill and it'll count.

i bet they fix that next next week.
... Do you have a Faction class item equipped?
Just imagine how I felt: came back from my favorite Italian restaurant, opened up Bungie to catch up and then read that my wishes have been answered. I am on Cloud 9.
Tomorrow, I will be stressed about how to do the new raid mechanics without dying.

lol yeah they must have seen the 17 second hard raid kill vid and just have to make it harder for no reason.. smh...

That's the thing too. I get that certain things are easier to fix and that's why we get certain things that seem higher priority after smaller stuff.
But here's a crazy idea:
Instead of dedicating programmers to fixing shit that isn't really an encounter breaking bug, why don't you dedicate those people to the team trying to fix your actual encounter breaking bugs? Don't fuck with that other shit until your ACTUAL bugs are fixed. Can anyone familiar with that type of game development here explain why that's not feasible? Maybe there's something I'm missing.\
EDIT: And if that's something coming with the next hotfix, they should probably have said something about it.
Why the hell am I not getting any rep and marks from Tiger Strikes? I haven't yet reached the 100 marks limit and I've been at the same 780/2000 rep points progress I had 6 hours ago. Ive been doing nothing but Tiger strikes the past 3 hours now.

Yeah that's how I did the bounty yesterday. No need to wake the hive ever again.
Btw had sent you a FR on psn fee days ago.

World First was just a shade under 11 hours straight. World Second (which was members of the same guild) was longer than that.
It's really easy to talk about how easy the raid is when you've had the strats made available to you by others first but were there no strats available there would be considerably less people who have cleared by now. Context matters.

Doesn't matter, I woken up the hive.
Too bad there's no trading. Whenever some lowbie would beg me for something in WoW, I'd send him on quests to find me 20 boar hides or something, and when he returned I'd use my macro to say he gained reputation with me and send him on another quest until he gave up. I'm not a very nice person.
I AM - when are you starting?

I love this part of the update:
is like luke faced every potential question with a gjallarhorn and knocked them out.

Love this.
Yeah, except that, in real raids, even with strats, it was still difficult to execute and would take weeks or even months to clear it out on the hardest difficulty with smart people you know. In this game, anybody can clear hard mode within the first week. I've done my fair share of server first heroic kills and whatnot, this game is "baby's first raid" in a nutshell.

ok cool i'll add you.
i disabled my notifications in-game because they pop up over the radar. if i miss a message or friend request just lemme know!
It's pissing me off. My warlock doesn't have a faction class item on so it's not going towards any faction. I haven't received any rep at all from all the Tiger strikes I have completed. On some occasion, I don't get marks at all either. I should be, by my count, at 89 marks. I'm at 62 but the vanguard symbol for the vanguard strikes says I have 60. The hell is going on?!

Will they be fixing the templar cheese too? Pushing it off with rockets and grenades was pretty funny. And that 5th chest, I didn't think it would be possible to get that on hard.
Don't want to use it, but how easy to do is it?

So, after all this time they are going ahead with random teleports for atheon? maybe if they designed the raid better in the first place they could have avoided all this shit.
Thanks for doing such a thing several weeks after people have had their fill of the raid and have multiple exotics.

I think I'm going to be done with Destiny now. It's just too much repitition. Every day, do the daily heroic, get me some ass
Do the weekly heroic/nightfall, then do the raid (and get more shaders). Wait for Xur on Friday, get fucked by the Cryptarch. That's all this game is. Rinse and repeat.
The new updates/nerfs are breaking the camel's back now.
At least I know I'm at least somewhat interested in MMOs and might give some a try now.

I dont know how they do it, just watched a few videos on it.
Im sure once theres a tutorial video that the crucible will be off-limits until patch day..
Better go shotgun some fools while I still can!

If we're talking about designing MMOs, Luke may have played alot of MMOs, but he went from being a journalist to designing the Vault of Glass raid. I doubt he had any input into anything else.

You could make a pseudo outside team by having 3 sunsingers suicide and then use radiance after the other 3 get teleported

There's an inherent difference in the complexity afforded by the combat systems in hotkey MMO's and FPS games respectively.
But I really don't understand this response at all when earlier you called the change that they're making that will specifically add complexity to the fight, "unbearable."
I would love to give it a go on my level 27 titan. PSN w1ssy
Damn, beat but if anyone else is looking for more for the normal raid send me a message.
My warlock is 25.

That's why I asked looking for clarification on his meaning. Because there's an argument to be made discussing designing MMO's that extends to all of Bungie. But if the comment was implying that no one at Bungie had played MMO's, then it's incorrect.
I'm getting to the same point honestly. I don't mind the repetition so much but these changes just kinda delfate me. I feel like we had a pretty good raid run the other day considering like half the group was new. We wiped on Atheon a bit, but by and large we saw progress each attempt. I feel like that experience is basically going to be a thing of the past with with this random bullshit they are introducing. The raid isn't even reliably rewarding enough to justify the bigger pain Atheon is about to be.

Mr. Community
Self res is so fundamentally broken, specially since they think messing with the revive mechanics is good design.
I totally expect them to remove that at some point.

What I want to know is how is atheon's selection a bug? how long has it been and surely in testing they knew this, sounds like a bullshit change to make things harder.
Same with the so called bug on strike boss health.

Geez Bungie what's next? Fixing a "bug" in the VoG that allow players to kill Atheon and actually complete the raid?
Unrelated - wanted to say thank you to ComputerMKII and Deku Tree. After 8 raids the only armor I was gifted by RNG was the chest, thanks to you guys I did receive the helmet which is pretty cool. I had loads of raid weapons but finally got the Vex Mytho from that sessions so thank you both!
I'll pay it forward, I have an Atheon hard checkpoint I'll pass along to Gaffers either later tonight or tomorrow after I normal Raid on my alts.

Sorry about bailing last night on you.

God the raid is going to get harder for Atheon. I would hate to pick up randoms. Can we have a list of GAF certified raiders?
