DriftKaiser Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Nice video! Love the bit where I saw two guys chases you.
MilaGi Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Some vids for your viewing pleasure from Trials...
Rummy Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Not sure what's happening with the normal mode raid, but potentially got 2 spaces for 8pm tomorrow if anyone's interested? Need to know by like 12/1pm tomorrow so I can confirm though. Caveat is me and my mate psychick have only done like a third of it(up to war priest, didnt beat him), and another guy hasn't done it at all, though our 4th guy has done it a few times on normal and hard as my previous post mentioned. He is like 15 though, so probably just plays vidya games all the time and knows what he's doing :p Long shot I realise, but offer's there!
Daft Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Some vids for your viewing pleasure from Trials... That match; my positioning is all over the place, sometimes it's abjectly terrible - the rounds where I'm dying instantly - and other times rock solid (I watch it now from your perspective @MilaGi and I'm think this Daft dude either knows what he's doing and he's going to slaughter the other team or he doesohlookhesdead _ and 85% of the time it's the latter). I need to work on that. I'm a bit of a hesitant rusher which is...categorically the most useless thing to be. Thanks for posting the videos, they were good to review, especially seeing the match from a different angle. Also, our team movement needs a bit of work. Think we all need to react a bit quicker when someone goes down instead of sticking to what we're doing. Although, I think we all concluded that we weren't a fan of that map (What you guys were calling the tunnel I thought of as 'B' and what I thought of as the tunnel – that bit of tubing under the derailed train – was...also the tunnel?). I think pre-match this week, we look up which map it is and decide on what Top/Mid/Bottom is as well as have clear callouts. We got to 7 clear wins before getting matched up against those lag-twats so we're doing well. I think a bit more prep and base strategy could take us that extra bit further. I felt a bit janky playing as a Warlock on Monday after really taking to Hunter, I think that made me a bit frustrated and made me play much worse. So apologies for my absolutely awful performance on Monday. I would have switched back to my Hunter in a heartbeat but I wanted to grind those bounties. I will be a Hunter again on Friday night. @Deathjam MilaGi, up for it again? Also, fuck invis shotgunners.

Definitely up for it on Friday @MilaGi and @Daft. What class I'll be will depend on what is rewarded this week but it's most likely gonna be Titan.
DriftKaiser Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) The fact that the First Curse quest is spreading over 3 Armsday is ridiculous but I'll get it next week. Hope it's better than it's twin The Last Word and where is my option to dual-wield those twins? Edited November 11, 2015 by DriftKaiser
Daft Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 If you ordered one last week, there is an Eirene RR4 with HOLO sights (extremely low zoom), Luck in the Chamber (for Maximum salt), Unflinching and Quickdraw. It's a beast for PvP, just used it in a game of Rumble. I'm...so happy I ordered one. But fuck Bungie for making me feel like I might need something like this because of the meta.
Agent Gibbs Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 So in which case New Raid team for this Week? Normal or Hard depending on Light Levels - Might be best as Normal till we get everyone over 300 some way I can probably do any night from Wednesday and as long as i have notice pretty much any daytime at the weekend Team of 6 ME <Slot> <Slot> <Slot> <Slot> <Slot> @Rummy@Blade@Deathjam@MilaGi@Map@Zell@Shorty@Daft@DriftKaiser@Sheikah@Eddageand anyone else Count me in. Yes please Obviously tonight is out (sorry to DJ who thought we'd be raising) anyone up for Friday? Or at the weekend?
Rummy Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I'm continuing my raid with the peeps I mentioned on Friday night around 2130(or earlier if I get out of work a bit earlier or they base me near home) - *may* have one or two spaces going so if the raid doesn't come together and you're about and wanna join let me know. Should have our checkpoint at Golgoroth(tried a few times but didn't manage to do too well against him).

Should have our checkpoint at Golgoroth(tried a few times but didn't manage to do too well against him). One thing to remember is that this raid, probably more so than the others, requires snipers when starting out, which is a it shitty imo but this is what we get so make sure everyone is carrying maxed out high light level snipers. Really, almost nothing else will cut it unless it's very particular like the telesto or the player is highly skilled.

Yeah, someone mentioned snipers and machine guns - do machine guns still apply to Golgoroth? On the plus side just before we started yesterday I maxed out the Defender - unlocking the bonus to weapons of light(may have helped us with the war priest). Annoyingly PsychickYouth apparently doesn't have much in the way of weapons etc. He has got a sniper but it isn't particularly great level, may encourage him to use it anyway though(considering his other main secondary is a shotgun for crucible )

Annoyingly PsychickYouth apparently doesn't have much in the way of weapons etc. He has got a sniper but it isn't particularly great level, may encourage him to use it anyway though(considering his other main secondary is a shotgun for crucible ) I personally rely on my scout rifle and sniper. Barely use my heavy in this raid but I'm still trying to learn when it's best to use them. But really, the 1000 yard stare is so amazing that there is almost no need for anything else. I may sound crazy but getting the exotic sword (bolt caster I think it is) for the raid as your heavy is awesome as not only does it give you both long and short range options, it boosts your light level significantly at 310 light and has good ammo economy.
Nolan Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Your weapons of light will help with golgoroth as well. Almost every time you guys go to damage him you should be charged. Just make sure you put the bubble far enough away that it doesn't interfere.
Sheikah Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Also when fighting Golgoroth make sure to hit the floor with a bow fairly close to the pool of light your group is in but also within tetherable range of Golgoroth. You'll both do more damage to Golgoroth and tether enemies like cursed thrall and fallen, stopping them hitting you.

Is the exotic sword from the crucible guy(shaxx?) where I had to kill 100 majors/yellow bars and 25 guardians in crucible? Got about 8 to go of the latter. Also does it replace the old one, or come in addition to it? Re: Thousand Yard Stare..ohhhh yeahhh! That's my sniper, sadly it's only 285 attack though and I haven't the heart to sacrifice my 300 Fusion into it(quite like fusions). Still been finding it pretty decent at 285 for the raid though.

Just make sure you put the bubble far enough away that it doesn't interfere. The guy leading us focused on a particular bubble for him, which had an alcove just behind that I could stick it in. Not sure how much my team were using it despite me being quite clear I was throwing it up for them though(mostly was charged when going in, though). Also when fighting Golgoroth make sure to hit the floor with a bow fairly close to the pool of light your group is in but also within tetherable range of Golgoroth. You'll both do more damage to Golgoroth and tether enemies like cursed thrall and fallen, stopping them hitting you. I keep hearing this stuff about tethers - I'm assuming this is that grenade or something from a void skill tree in one of the other classes? I've only experienced being tethered myself in crucible.
Sheikah Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 It's the nightstalker's super, a hunter subclass. They fire an arrow that tethers nearby enemies, making them take more damage and hit you a lot less. It has other neat things like making the the tethered enemies provide lots of orbs or explode when they die, depending on how you spec it. It's very useful for nearly all the bosses as it boosts already massive damage values for all fireteam members while it's active.

Still been finding it pretty decent at 285 for the raid though. In the current state of the game, a sniper would be more useful to you than a fusion rifle. If you do end up using the fusion rifle for o fusion, try to make sure what you infuse to is at least 294 to maximise the chance of getting it to 300
Rummy Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Yes that's the beginning. It's a long quest buy worth it. Which sword do you have? Arc edge or something? Basically the arc sword infused, but was wondering on whether it's simply upgraded/replaced as debating whether I really wanted arc for my sword.

If you do end up using the fusion rifle for o fusion, try to make sure what you infuse to is at least 294 to maximise the chance of getting it to 300 Sadly I'm just too attached to my void fusion! Given I wouldn't really have anything void otherwise(only been defender atm to level it). I like fusions for the moments where I need to hit hard on something smallish, but I guess I'm just Long Far Gone...(ohohoho!)

Ah yeah forgot to mention that the exotic sword is in addition to the legendary, is very quick to level and starts off at 310 light
Sheikah Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Exotic sword quest is a must-do, not only are swords ridiculously good for most PvE, you get a 310 light heavy weapon that does wonders for your light level.
DriftKaiser Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I need to get the Void Exotic sword at some point. Bolt Caster is defo brilliant for short and long range. Raze-lighter is brilliant on Major and Ultra health enemies. Guess Dark-Drinker is brilliant on hordes?

Used in conjunction with tether it rains orbs. Will get you killed though due to explosive scenery or majors continuing to shoot you while you spin to win so you need a good entry and exit strategy
Rummy Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Sounds like there's some notable differences between these swords somehow?
Agent Gibbs Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Sounds like there's some notable differences between these swords somehow? Significant! the Swords have an R1 melee attack but also a special R2 attack The Solar (Flame) Exotic sword has a single enemy heavy hitting flame attack - best for yellow bar Major/Ultra's as said above The Arc (Electric) Exotic sword has a long range sword electric beam (think Legend of Zelda full hearts beam) - good damage and makes the high light level sword useful on bosses that you can't get close to (@Drift_Kaiser uses his on the Warpriest) The Void (Darkness) Exotic Sword has a Darkness sword whirlwind (again think zelda) allowing it to hit multiple enemies at once - this also hits very hard but not as hard as the Solar Sword, i have this sword and can kill the psion flayers in the strike in 3/4 hits of the R2 special, almost as quick as i see those with the flame sword do Any takers for a Normal Raid this Friday/weekend?
