If you are 34, you need 11.
You only need 2 swords.
3 + 3 hits
3 + 2 hits
At least that's what I've seen.

Using a level 34 hunter as the analog.
4 hits with R2, drop sword, melee invisible.
3 hits with R2, run away. Or, if you are feeling confident, 3 R2's, and one R1.
Next sword he should go down in 3-4 hits.
RE: IGN interview (and also the GI podcas).
Of all the things Bungie folks have talked about in the run up to TTK's release, Luke's comments about altering the vision for the endgame has resonated most strongly with me. The update to the Nightfalls in particular are a very welcome surprise. I thought that the vision for the NF was very much what we were had with year 1: often huddled up on corners of crates, atop cliffs, or otherwise taking pains to avoid instadeath as we used our best gear to try and avoid a wipe in a brutal but (sometimes) rewarding strike. That Bungie recognized the problems with that as an engame activity and both redesigned it, and rethought their exotic weapon design philosophy along the way has me incredibly optimistic for TTK. It sounds like the same line of thinking has been applied to all of the activities, from strikes to patrols to loot acquisition in general.
I don't think Bungie fully understood their own creation when it launched, nor did they have as clear a vision for the game as they have had with prior releases. Year 1 of Destiny felt very much like Bungie found their vision for the game as they went, and have been slowly marching it toward that vision. The depth of learnings and their reaction to player requests with 2.0 has me really excited for the future of this game.

I hope the NF changes indicates that they will also remove the no-revives mechanic from the HM version of the new Raid.

Just "completed" two Trials cards with Muten & Pvt Hudson. They're solid players and great guys, but man.
Man.
I just wanted those gauntlets. Just 5 wins. With boons, that's like 3 wins, 4 losses. And Iron Banner going on, maybe would take some of the big guys out.
We went 0 and 8.
Brutal.

Exotics do drop. Legendaries are kinda fixed though. Same bunch of stuff and it only drops in IB.
Yeah I got a Dragon's Breath but was curious if I could get other ones like Red Death or Hawkmoon.

I've had icebreaker, plan c hawk moon and the horn all drop for me from IB over the last year. Probably others but those are the ones I remember.
If they do that, it would be mean they are totally on board with match made raids.
I am not a fan of that idea, but don't want the option blocked, just focused on only allowing easy difficulty to be match made.
An easy made for all raids would be fine with match making, and possibly a few key parts missing like the Gorgons maze from VoG.
Would give people a chance to try out, and learn mechanics of the raids without a huge revive delay.
I would expect anywhere from a third, to half of the raids being cut for easy modes to be able to exist, but it would also make the raids able to be completed quicker, meaning less chances of match made players dropping out prematurely.
This is all stuff coming out of my own head, and Bungie has said nothing about easy mode for raids, or match making.
Someone got hawkmoon yesterday, they came last in the team which figures.
On a completely unrelated note, is there any way to change your forum name on GAF? As i'd like it to match my PSN / XLB ID
I would not be surprised or possibly even expect the Kings Fall Raid to have as many as four difficulty settings, similar to PoE with the easy mode having MM and simplified "strike like" encounters.
I think an admin would have to help you there.
Still no guarantee of them actually doing it, or being able to.
Haven't seen you play in a while. No rustiness there?
Zoba hype knows no limit. His psn is disabled and the hype goes on. He deletes his characters and the hype goes on. Nothing stops this hype.

Well said! The more I hear about TTK, the more hyped I get. It's all been good news so far. I'm even okay with slowly lowering Gjallarhorn into the ground. I'll visit it often, and bring it flowers.
Surely the Red Bull esports challenge had to be setup as a custom match somehow to get the correct players in.
if they were playing on a static server then the match making would have no one else to match them with other than the two teams that were playing.
I mean as a update to the game that lets us non Bungie employees set up private matches. Gawd. I know you know what I meant.
Edit: you bakas

The red bull stream was definitely on a private server, as they were able to control the rotation of the maps and match against each other. The framework for custom games might be in the game, but the UI isn't.
Like a boss!
they can do anything they want to with the game within reason, it's never going to be 'done' being patched or feature-locked.
I'd like this very much. I'm (a little) optimistic, given Luke has said they designed the raid for hard mode, then scaled it down for normal. I hope that means it's hard for the right reasons - mechanics, encounter design, coordination requirements - rather than the brute force difficulty of no revives and forced under leveling. I could live with the latter, but I do hope no revives goes away as well. My limited time with HM raids has not been enjoyable.

Monte Carlo and Gunslinger... Knives for days. Wow.
That wouldn't be very Bungie, however. I think they'd do it once they had a way of doing it justice than just private shards of matchmaking configurations.
I'd imagine they would prefer users be able to select maps, modify the game parameters in interesting ways, etc etc.

How much do I time to do I have left to complete Moments of Triumph? The only requirement I am missing is 3 golden chests. Would be a shame to miss it for the easiest part, but I have no desire to find them.
40.

Not that I don't believe you or anything. Just not sure where everyone is getting this info from. I've been out of the loop for a few days.
