Tried the raid with a group that hadn't done it yet either

We got to the War Priest and everyone had to leave, really cool stuff to get up to that point though

The strikes are very hard. I'm only a 250'ish and it usually pairs me with similar players. I've yet to complete one.

Hit me up man. I need to run my Titan through some more gear accumulating raids and I've got secondary characters to run through story missions and strikes also.

Thanks to everyone who let me join them on that Saturn raid Saturday morning. Outside of my terrible platforming skills in the beginning that was great. Raid progress resets after a week or so, right?

Tuesday 5am Eastern is the reset point.

Saw this posted on Bungie.net regarding the Oryx battle. I've bolded a part which might have been part of glitching we were seeing yesterday.

Spoiler:


1. Kill the vessel quickly, preferably swords so that he will drop within seconds. You need to be set up around the time oryx slams his fist.
2. Go to the totem that oryx is near (right after he slams, if possible) and have everyone on top. Reason why is because it was suggested to me while trying to do oryx earlier today and when we tried it that way oryx stunned much quicker and being so close allows less missed shots.
3. Just simply use snipers, machine guns, and golden guns if you can. Those weapons do the most damage and can stun him faster than most others.
4. After you stun him, run immediately to your assigned totem (where the ogre light bubbles are) and count down from 3-5 and detonate them all at once. After that, run like hell back to the aura (make sure the aura is in the middle so it's more convenient) and stun oryx again. It prevents him from summoning the shade of oryx part, which he should only do if you lower him half.
5. Repeat, about 4-6 times. 4 is optimal if you do everything perfectly.

Tess Everis is coming back October 13th...and she's bringing microtransactions with her:

https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13672

Tess will now sell Emotes, which will be purchased with a new in game currency called Silver. Silver will be purchased through PS Store or XBOX Live Store (whatever its called). Bungie will be dropping some silver into our accounts so we can buy an emote or 2.

musick 10-05-15 07:03 PM

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 
I'm perfectly fine with that so long as the following holds true


Like the trio of emotes offered via The Taken King Collector’s Edition, these emotes are completely optional, and won’t impact the action game in any way.

If you’re not interested in what Tess has to offer, you won’t ever be forced to pluck an item off of her shelf. You’ll still receive updates to the game, and you won’t lose a Crucible encounter or fail to clear a Raid because you didn’t have the right Eververse Trading Company emote equipped.
of course those that threw down $20 already without knowing this was coming shortly after may be a bit upset

Thanks I will do that.

I actually got one done tonight. Both guys were close to 300, so that helped ;)

Just got The Jade Rabbit from a Three Of Coins Engram. It dropped at 310. Still need a Supercell and Hereafter.

I'll have a Chaperone in a few hours, and hopefully The First Curse, Dark-Drinker and Raze-Lighter on Armsday.

That gun is very fun to use, at least until I get the Touch of Malice. I'm just glad I didn't have to wait to get it like the Hawkmoon.

Ran through heroic strikes on My Hunter and got the Shield Brothers Gauntlets for my Titan and Echo Chamber Gauntlets for my Warlock.

Nice. I had the Cloak of Tampax drop for me last night. Hoping to have a flayer mantle drop for me sooner rather than later.

Need to start going after some of the strike specific gear and the exotics. I've been mainly concentrating on leveling up to get raid ready.

lopper 10-06-15 12:30 PM

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 
How do you go about getting gear that's strike specific? Are they just random drops from playing the playlist for a long time?

just random drops
you don't have to run at the highest level strike, you can select from as low as the director (map) .... no confirmation if running at a higher level gives you a better chance and you don't have to run on the specific character the armor is for in order for it to possibly drop

here is a guide as to what randomly drops where

I have Devouring Helm, Theosyion Vibrissae, and Baron's Ambition

Go to the planet map it's located on and select it specifically. Don't go to the Vanguard playlist.

Ah, I think I was trying to do it from the Vanguard playlist. Thanks!

Does every class have the question to generate x number of orbs during a strike? I've got to generate 7 kills 3 times in a strike and it's making me nuts. Any tips?

start a strike such as Devil's Lair
backtrack from where it first spawns you in to The Steppes where you drop when patrolling Cosmodrome

go down to where the 3 yellow bar knights are underground and super them (may need to have a piece of armor on that has generate additional orbs with super perk)

exit area ...... rinse, repeat twice more when knights respawn and your super is up

finish remainder of strike

sometimes helps to be in a fireteam with others you know so the other people doing the strike don't rush through it but you should easily be able to get your 3 supers in before a team can 2 man it to the finish

Here's a video to someone doing it if that helps:

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/152728806/0/0

Is there a way to start a strike alone? I know if you start one and it can't match you up with anyone after a set time it will drop you in by yourself, but anyway to force that?
