Eddage Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Who's got 305ish alts on tonight's raid team? Happy to run it repeatedly All my alts are 310+ so I'm good to go. Seems there is some confusion about what the challenge actually is as some people have done it in two auras and not had the rewards. People are even saying they did it in more because they thought the challenge would be to have to survive all his different attacks. It's starting to look like the challenge may be to have a different aura holder each time and for the aura holder not to die, those may be the only factors (plus the extra/tougher ads). Others think wiping may ruin it, which screws up alt switching for checkpoints. I'm keeping my eye on Reddit to get more info
Sheikah Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Who's got 305ish alts on tonight's raid team? Happy to run it repeatedly Yup. All my alts at least 313 with best gear.
DriftKaiser Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 My Titan is 303 and Hunter is 304 on their current armour gears but can reach 308+ with the weapons.
Rummy Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Probably a bit beneath you guys now but anyone want to help with a normal mode raid on Thursday? Heyho's messaged me to see if I'm interested, not sure of time yet, or who else we might have(Frag/Psychick probs can't make it) - just putting some feelers out before getting other randoms. EDIT: Wouldn't start until at least 8, as Heyho's gotta get the littler kids to bed. Edited December 1, 2015 by Rummy

That'd mean if you wipe once you can't get it on that character all week?
Eddage Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Wiping = spoiling it seems unlikely/too harsh. That'd mean if you wipe once you can't get it on that character all week? Looks like you're right. Also if you beat the Warpriest without meeting the criteria you can beat him again and it'll spawn a chest with the rewards.
DriftKaiser Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 You must have different aura holders with each damage phase. No guardian can hold the aura more than once otherwise you will not receive the challenge mode drops. You CAN have someone die and you do NOT need to beat him in two phases. I apologize for the confusion. Good to know that the Warpriest strategy we used in NM/HM is a legit way!
Shorty Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I accept your apology Not much need for spoiler tags then, we just play the way we always play
DriftKaiser Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I accept your apology Not much need for spoiler tags then, we just play the way we always play Except for Golgoroth of course! :P
Sheikah Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 @DriftKaiser @Eddage @Zell @Deathjam @Shorty says he is free actually on Thursday this week, if you guys would like to resume the raid on our other 2 characters for some juicy loots.
DriftKaiser Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I'm free on tonight and friday. Got too many overtime shifts for next few weeks

Shorty Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I thought that it was someone else who couldn't do Thursday, glad I wasn't cracking up there.
Rummy Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Last quick shout for a normal mode raid tonight at around 8/9ish? Maybe if anyone wants to get some loot for an alt or so?
MilaGi Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Last quick shout for a normal mode raid tonight at around 8/9ish? Maybe if anyone wants to get some loot for an alt or so? I've got my family coming over tonight so I can't help you unfortunately. Otherwise I'd have been happy to help.
Rummy Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) I've got my family coming over tonight so I can't help you unfortunately. Otherwise I'd have been happy to help. Ahh no worries! I'm sure we'll manage ok with randoms - I'm probably still the weakest link tbh! Edit: dammit! Servers down for maintainence -.- Edited December 3, 2015 by Rummy
Rummy Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Managed to NM it to the daughters last night, in addition to completing the warpriest's challenge which I was pretty happy with managing without too much prior planning and considering it's still only my third time running the raid. Sadly I already had a 310 artifact from the last time I raided, but I guess it could go to infusing on an alt? Only other semi-decent drop I got was a 310 machine gun, don't think I had much else so le sads. Plus point of this however is that my setup of choice now has me over 300 light, and I'm thinking of putting that 308 handcannon into my pulse rifle soon now. Quite likely we'll continue Monday night, if anyone fancies jumping on for a bit to quickly do those last two bits for some easy lootings? Maybe even Sunday. I'll probs post here before anyhow :p
DriftKaiser Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Xur is in the reef! Spent 5 mins looking for him in the Tower haha.
Shorty Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Totally forgot about Xur this week and won't be home... glad he's not selling any engrams and I already have Telesto, twice! Not bothered about The Stag.
Rummy Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Is the Telesto the fusion rifle you mentioned about before when I was talking about them? Is it worth me getting? Although the annoyance will be getting it up from 280. I need to find a way to get myself strange coins more/faster so I can buy Xur's equipment bits and scrap them for shards -.-
Shorty Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) It's fun but I dunno, it'd never be my go-to weapon for anything. True of most exotics these days though. If you can spare the coins go for it, otherwise I'd personally get 3oC. But then again I have loads of exotics.... Saw some people on reddit talking about how fun it is, and how useful on nightfalls. Mentioning you @Rummy in case you viewed my post before I edited in the other side of the coin! Edited December 4, 2015 by Shorty
Rummy Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Cheers. I do love my void Long Far Gone in PvE and checked a video of the Telesto - can afford it and reckon I'd enjoy it just wondering if I should buy it right now or not though. Hadn't considered the 3oC much before(don't fully understand it either) but maybe something I should start looking into as I think I'm gonna try to run raids etc more often. Do exotic engrams come out a varying light level if they're year 2 items btw, or still at 280? I've only ever gotten Year 1s from engrams I think.
Shorty Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 When you're light 300+ there's a small chance of them being 310. When you're 311+ there's a very high chance of them being 310. So always equip your best setup before decrypting. 3oC just increases the chance that the next ultra you beat will drop an exotic. If it doesn't, then the next use makes it even more likely. Apparently the best way to get guaranteed exotics is to beat 3 strikes in a row (exclude Psion Flayers from the count), popping a 3oC during the third one. Should drop an exotic. Then go to orbit and repeat. Quite often get an exotic from the raid if you use a 3oC before Warpriest, Golgoroth and Oryx's shade phase.
DriftKaiser Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 @Sheikah @Zell Had to share this first bizarre victory of our alts with you guys.
Rummy Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Taken me far too long to find bloody xur! What's he best way to obtain strange coins to spend at him atm BTW?
