Agent Gibbs Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) If theres space count me in, if not If anyone want a second raid this week i'd be in that EDIT: Wait Hold me in a reserve as i seem to think we are meant to go see Spectre (finally) on Wednesday Edited December 8, 2015 by Agent Gibbs
Rummy Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I'd consider joining but I was an absolute liability on even my normal mode raid last night! Kept jumping off the damn switch-platform too soon fucking it up for the runner/all of us. Def need to run this raid a few more times on Normal to get my sequencing right. I was wondering in other tings though - does anyone care much for Prison of Elders? Does it give anything much more decent at the higher fireteam only levels? I've been doing a lot of the low/matchmaking level one the past week for strange coins(gotten about 35-40, including from 6 treasure keys) so been wondering if there's any point trying to get people together to a higher level one. I've done the Skola's Revenge one once before, though it took us ages; however I wasn't really paying any attention to the rewards I would have gotten at the time to know if it's worth it on a repeated basis.
Shorty Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Challenge sounds a bit more difficult this week! Golgoroth. Every player must hold the gaze at some point during each rotation. You can still use just one pool, but when the gaze is lost, you'll all have to grab it again. I don't think that's what they wanted to happen, I'm guessing they wanted one player to take the gaze each time, but hey.

Guess it adds some variety to people like me/others who just tend to run the same thing each time they play.

I've not touched PoE in Year 2 and see no reason to do so tbh.
Rummy Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I only started running it as tinternet suggested it to be a good source for strange coins - tbh I'd probs say I am getting more from it than I would going about my other usual activities. Was there any differences/changes made to it between Year 1 and 2? Can't google much Destiny stuff at work annoyingly.
Shorty Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Not actually run it in Year 2... have they added any Taken? In Year 1 you had to do some annoying bounties to get the three exclusive exotic weapons, which I think now just have a chance of appearing in the chests at the end.

No taken, basically everything but :p I haven't seen an exotic from the chests yet myself, but have gotten some purples at like 160 or whatever it is, so I just trash them straight away. Were any of the exotics available from it carried over to Year 2 versions, do you know? Wouldn't mind one if I get one to then buy a year 2 version for another shard...
Shorty Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 The three exotics you can only get from PoE are Dreg's Promise, Lord of Wolves and Queenbreaker's Bow, there's no year two version of these.
Rummy Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Ohh hold on, I think I might have gotten a Dreg's Promise at some point - quite possibly scrapped it though. Time to depart the forums now, a meeting arrives in my room!
Shorty Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Played two sparrow races, won two sparrow races. Should probably quit whilst I have that 100% success record :p
Eddage Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Played two sparrow races, won two sparrow races. Should probably quit whilst I have that 100% success record :p I had the same, played three more and got a 4th, 3rd and 2nd It's quite fun, although just the two courses will get a bit repetitive.
Sheikah Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I think the sparrow racing is a bit cack. Easy enough, but sparrows just are not fun vehicles to race. I kinda wished they would redesign sparrow mechanics for this mode but I knew they wouldn't.
MilaGi Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Guys, I may need to drop out of tonight's Raid. If you could get someone to take my place then that would be great. If not, then I'll be on for around 7ish.
Shorty Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I only did two races but I did enjoy it. As a small, free extra it's certainly enjoyable. Could do with another course or two. Quite a few other things have dropped with this patch too - The things we expected: new exotics, Y1 exotics, weapon balancing - Titan melee range buff - emotes and sparrow upgrades from nightfall - 3oC triggers on crucible wins - infusable CE items - rep from nightfall and materials - etheric light trade in - icon fixes, some I've noticed: IB ghost isn't blue anymore, and hunter HM raid gear has lost its green bits Edit: - Cocoon makes a noise when it's worked! - slow sprint bug fixed (not the cooldown issue) Edited December 9, 2015 by Shorty
Eddage Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 @Agent Gibbs, can you do the raid tonight since @MilaGi can't?
Zell Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 If Gibbs and Milagi can't make it, I can fill that last spot if needed.
Sheikah Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Since Zell has already signed up himself, Zell takes the last spot.
Jimbob Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 The Sparrow racing is a nice little addition, had a few races last night. However, it does need a few more courses as all i was playing on for the most part was the same Venus course over and over. I did get a Mars race in, and cleared the bounty on that. Also, the bounties are bugged as i had 7 races yesterday, only 2 of which my Sparrow was destroyed and yet the bounty for completing races without destroying the Sparrow didn't trigger as "complete"
Agent Gibbs Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 @Agent Gibbs, can you do the raid tonight since @MilaGi can't? Nah i can't do tonight, sorry guys, but If Gibbs and Milagi can't make it, I can fill that last spot if needed. Since Zell has already signed up himself, Zell takes the last spot. Looks like that spot was filled anyway If you do have another raid on HM in the near future keep me in mind for it please, still not managed to get through an entire HM raid
Shorty Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Ah yeah the space ought to have been yours but your post regarding the cinema was a bit inconclusive. Well if you're not free then alls well that ends well :p enjoy Spectre.
DriftKaiser Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I was playing some SRL races on my own when I noticed a familiar name passed me halfway through the first lap. It was @Eddage. �� Saved the video.
Daft Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Gave the Sparrow racing a few goes yesterday. It felt a bit meh. I got a Legendary helmet and one of them new Legendary sparrows which was Void. I kind of think the mode needs weapon power ups, because otherwise it's just a crap weaponless Wipeout.
Agent Gibbs Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Ah yeah the space ought to have been yours but your post regarding the cinema was a bit inconclusive. Well if you're not free then alls well that ends well :p enjoy Spectre. it wasn't as good as Skyfall or Casino Royal, and i didn't like the Roger Moore era ending how did the Raid go then guys? did you do the Challenge? wasn't it all players hold Golgoroth's Gaze?
Shorty Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 We did the challenge, and then again on alts My drops were pretty good, but I'd really have liked some boots. I think 311 is still the highest pair of boots I have on any character I actually found the challenge mode on Golgy a lot of fun, lots of co-ordination and teamwork required. Not doing it the way they wanted us to (same as ever!) but defending other gaze holders from the orbs and thrall adds an extra dimension.
