MilaGi 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. Glad you got it done. Was gutted that I had to miss out, but had far too much stuff to do. Even if I had been on, I wouldn't have been able to stay beyond 10ish. I haven't tried the sparrow racing yet, so may give that a go later.
Eddage Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 As much as I'm enjoying the SRL there are those few moments that are rather frustrating...
DriftKaiser Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Haha I ended up in the same place as you did on the second video.

Then let's start a signup for another challenge mode run next Wednesday, 7:30-8PM start time, since I know you can do Wednesdays. Who else is with me?!

Shorty Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Always up for it still chasing those elusive 320 boots!
Eddage Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) I'm in, @Sheikah, @Shorty, @Zell, @Deathjam, @DriftKaiser, are you guys up for finishing the raid at some time before the reset? I'm still chasing a primary above 310 so could do with completing it as many times as possible, should take hardly any time! I don't have any plans this weekend so am free whenever. Edit: Also if we're doing it on Wednesday for @MilaGi then is it worth the other five quickly jumping in on Tuesday to get to the totem checkpoint? I'm guessing MilaGi will only be able to stay on until 10ish and with it being the Oryx challenge would probably be best not to have to waist time dicking about at the start.

Rummy Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 How does one manage these tricks for the SRL? Got a bounty that needs them but no idea how to actually undertake such(I've accidentally been flipped all over, but apparently that's not a trick :p). I'm doing the SRL for bounties and stuff, but it is a bit kinda meh with only two tracks, and only the boost gates to give any sort of real competitive advantage. Feels like it could have done with some more work on the whole really, not sure how long I'll fully stick with it if it doesn't change at all(presuming the tracks will on Weds tho).

If you want I can get us an Oryx checkpoint some time on Tuesday night (if that's where challenge mode starts). Don't question the means.
Shorty Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Why are we suddenly not doing normal parts of the raid? I don't know why we didn't finish the raid last week, or on Weds, or why we would want to skip to the end next week. I'd still like the chance at regular raid items 310-320.

You need a trick sparrow, such as the one you get for completing the quest line. You'll know it's a trick sparrow because it will have the perk for destabilizing using R2. You can do flips with that, but much easier is to use the d-pad in mid-air to do a trick. Edited December 11, 2015 by Shorty
Sheikah Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 It's mostly because it's difficult to get everyone together again and/or a lack of enthusiasm in people continuing the raid. Personally, I'm not too bothered about getting regular loot since challenge mode gives you guaranteed 320 versions. It's very rare that I'll get 320 versions of things normally (I have only ever got 2 x 320 pieces normally, both in the same raid). I spend a lot of nights playing Destiny already, so I'm actually quite open towards doing all raid activities in a single night.

Who else is with me?! [sheikah] [space] [space] [space] [space] [space] Yes, please. @Eddage - I don't mind missing the first bits and starting at the Totems. This will be the 4th HM raid I'll have done (although completed only one) and I still haven't had a HM Ghost Shell I think my highest gear level is something like 313. Anything else is purely IB stuff, so I definitely need as many drops as possible. Hopefully due some Next Thurs should be a quiet enough day in my office, so I may be able to stay on until 11ish for a change. Off work from the 24th Dec through until 11th Jan, so I'll have no restrictions

I don't know why we didn't finish the raid last week, or on Weds, or why we would want to skip to the end next week. I'd still like the chance at regular raid items 310-320. I still want to carry on with the raid... @Sheikah, @Shorty, @Zell, @Deathjam, @DriftKaiser, are you guys up for finishing the raid at some time before the reset? I'm still chasing a primary above 310 so could do with completing it as many times as possible, should take hardly any time! I don't have any plans this weekend so am free whenever. The only reason I suggested getting the totem checkpoint for the next one is because I remember that last time we did Hard Mode on a Wednesday we didn't have time to finish it (if I remember correctly) because @MilaGi had to leave. Considering this is the Oryx challenge and we seem to have trouble arranging to continue on a second day I wanted to be able to get it done in one night (obviously if we can continue on a second night this doesn't matter but given the experience of the past couple of weeks this seems unlikely). If we start at the totems then all we miss is a couple of shitty chests that no one actually cares about, we will still get all the proper loot drops.

I spend a lot of nights playing Destiny already, so I'm actually quite open towards doing all raid activities in a single night. I'm very much in the need of items suitable for bridging the gaps between 310ish and 320. I have a few 320 weapons ready and waiting to infuse into things, but since they're the only way to hit the damage cap, there's no sense in putting them into, for example, my 310 Black Spindle. What I'd really like is some more snipers, fusion rifles and primaries around 314-318.
Sheikah Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 The way I see it, we are going to have this raid as the main raid for a long time, and these challenge modes will come up again and again. That's fair enough, but I can see us rolling in 320 stuff before too long.

DriftKaiser Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Unfortunately I got an overtime shift on next Wed. got 319 Racing Helm and 318 warlock bond from SRL.
Shorty Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Unfortunately I got an overtime shift on next Wed. got 319 Racing Helm and 318 warlock bond from SRL. Were they just as normal drops or something from completing the quests? So far everything I've had has been crap, keep getting helmets over and over around 295, no chest, no class item, no shaders :/
DriftKaiser Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Normal drops. Think it's cause I'm rank 3 in SRL so I'm getting better drops. Edited December 11, 2015 by DriftKaiser
Zell Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Think that's all the spaces gone, I'll take the last spot if available otherwise put me as a reserve. Why are we suddenly not doing normal parts of the raid? I don't know why we didn't finish the raid last week, or on Weds, or why we would want to skip to the end next week. I'd still like the chance at regular raid items 310-320. I'm usually up for completing the Raids, but Wednesday night I was genuinely tired and it was past 11. Work at the moment means that it's not really good for me to be playing Destiny any later than that on a work night. Would definitely be up for completing the Raid this weekend though!
DriftKaiser Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Bungie confirmed that you can get 320 light level gears rewards once you reached rank 3.
Eddage Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Okay, lets try this again.... @Shorty @Sheikah @Zell @Deathjam @DriftKaiser We have three more nights left to finish the raid before the reset, can you guys do it and when. I have no plans so can do tonight, tomorrow or Monday? If not I'll see if others want to fill the spaces for a few bits of loot/hard mode practice.
MilaGi Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 @Daft @Deathjam are either of you up for some Trials this weekend? @Eddage if you're struggling for players I can help. I could sure use the loot and practice... especially the latter! I'm nowhere near as good at PvE than I am with PvP

I'm nowhere near as good at PvE than I am with PvP I'm free Milagi but I'm trying to get SRL stuff done first at least on one character to get some upgrade loot. It's actually a lot of fun for me! I would suggest we all party up and try it too.
