Nolan Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 How many people are up for raids? surely we are close to 12 people, we could do two simultaneous raids, or if we have enough check points and alts, re run the raid every day as surely we can get six on each day? I'm usually up for it, but being on the wrong side of the Atlantic poses different time constraints. Only being 300 light poses further constraints.
DriftKaiser Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I used the "Max the Light" feature from the gear management on Bungie.net Warlock - 318 Hunter - 316 Titan - 318 Why we can't share the checkpoints with the other so they can do the challenges other time?
Eddage Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Why we can't share the checkpoints with the other so they can do the challenges other time? That would be appreciated but only @Agent Gibbs and I are at the level to be able to do the challenge comfortably. So unless four others want to run it six times in total then I don't really see it being done!
Rummy Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) @Nintendo Fan has just recently hit level 40 so would probably like to try out the raids. Personally I would suggest trying to figure it out without the guidance of anyone who's done it before, if you can find six players that fit that description. Dunno if @Rummy's done Vault of Glass or Crota's End yet. I've not actually! I was just saying to heyho2007 yesterday that I've never run the lower raids, as he was talking about us running King's Fall a few more times on Normal possibly before moving up. We won't get much from doing them from what I understand, but having never been around for their original release it could be interesting attempting to run them blind if a few other lower levelled folks wanted to? Heyho wouldn't be blind to them as he did them originally so I'd count him out. Who do we potentially have? Me, Ninty, Happs, Goafer? I've not been able to put this down since i started playing. I did not think i'd enjoy it as much as i am. I'M HOOKED Yeah i would love to start doing raids if i'm able to, currently at 280 light. @Shorty is a BEAST, carried our team multiple times in the crucible. Yeah I've seen you playing and was meant to say if you ever see me on or wanna fireteam up for anything in the evenings or so I'm totes happy to do so! It's more fun having someone to play with, but I'm kinda sitting above the lower levels without quite reaching the higher levels of the others here(and the stuff they do - I'm pretty happy playing all bits!) so just end up doing daily bounties then strikes or something by myself. Ftr character wise I've got like a 304ish(+) maxed titan and 297 Warlock with lots of skill levelling yet to do on all its classes - so that's basically my current focus atm. Got most of its light level from infusing things spilt over from the Titan etc. If you do wanna do stuff just ping me a message or so! I'm quite keen on my strikes now for the 3oC and exotic drop potential too - though I feel I'm starting to run shy of Strange Coins to buy with. Also happy to do Court of Oryx etc. @Goafer and I are working our way through Destiny at the moment so will definitely be up for doing some of the raids when we hit 40. Be good to be able to do them with NE people who will hold our hands and guide us gently through our first raid experiences :p As above! I'd def be up for running raids even on NM with you guys when you get there - I kinda know the ropes of King's Fall now but dunno if that's good enough to teach it or successfully run it well. Hell, might actually make it like a bit more of a half-blind run though! I'm usually just following the advice of others as I don't want to hold people back(but successfully manage to still :p) but I won't mind if we're all in a similar boat. On top of that I've got at least one other mate who'd join us for them if he's available, if not possibly 2(though I cannot guarantee their patience, I think they're similar to myself in terms of knowledge of the raid, and again aware of how terrible I am).

Sheikah Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 @Shorty @Zell @Deathjam @MilaGi @DriftKaiser Just a reminder about tonight's raid, starting some time between half 7 and 8 (will aim for half 7). Both Zell and Shorty are good to continue on Friday since we probably won't manage to run all 3 instances of Oryx tonight. Is this good with everyone else?

Rummy Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Jumped in with @Nintendo Fan last night for a bit of Mayhem Rumble - this was one of my first noticed weekly modes when I was first new to the game and I loved it. Probably because I realised I could do well/have fun despite being shit and not knowing the maps. Fun to see that Ninty's loving it too! Wasn't actually doing as well as I hoped, but I'll blame it on the drinks I had :p. Stormtrance is crucible is feeling pretty beast for me - def feels more useful than my titan specials, though Ninty thinks he might be coveting the Hammer of Sol so maybe it's just a grass is greener thing. I might jump on mic next time, didn't last night as I had the TV on too and I've been told it carries through sometimes. Anyhow - really enjoying my Warlock and the differences it brings. Glad I still need to max as it's giving me plenty good reason to keep playing. On which note if you are on this eve @Nintendo Fan I'd be happy to join to do literally anything - need to play to get the xp so anything suits me really. Would anyone else here be up for joining us on a Nightfall strike at some point?
Nintendo Fan Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Mayhem Rumble is by far the most fun for me atm (until i get hit by a hunter nade that cancels my super). It's literally chaos everywhere non stop.@Rummy Chain lightning on 3 enemies and then another 2 feels soooo satisfying I'd like to try Hammer of Sol sometime but having too much fun with lightning haha. Yeah i'll be on, I've got couple hard story quests to do. You could join me on those, then do more Mayhem or if we get a third jump into a Nightfall.

My Warlock has plenty of TTK quests to do so that might actually tick some of my boxes too! Pop me a message or so when you're on and wanna roll, I'm just at home this evening. I'll probably mic up for party chat this time too. EDIT: Any takers for a 3rd man for the nightfall? No idea what strike it actually is. Rolled out a 310 Telesto yesterday though so looking forward to sticking that on my Warlock if I've got a decent substitute primary. Edited January 8, 2016 by Rummy

Ah i thought i had hard quests left but it looks like i don't. I just have 2 not hard but the patrol thing on Earth, i dunno what quests they'll lead to. I've got: Blighted War The Taken War and The Taken War:Petra, both on Earth.
Sheikah Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 @Shorty @Zell @Deathjam @MilaGi @DriftKaiser Just a reminder about continuing the raid tonight on our alts. I am available from half 7.

DriftKaiser Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I'm available from right now haha. @Rummy and @Nintendo Fan Do you want a third man for the nightfall?
Nolan Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Mayhem rumble is the only way to get Crucible kills for the sword quest without wanting to tear your hair out. It's hectic and no one cares that you're running around with an empty sword punching people to death. The fast respawn is also extremely helpful.
Rummy Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I dunno, I found it pretty manageable in regular clash I think it was. If anything it was actually doing that which made me think a bit more about being too aggressive(thus dying and losing the heavy). Question on the sword quest - do you have to specifically use the exact sword shaxx gives you or does it matter if you've transferred from another character? Another question - the quest for someone where you have to kill 3 'high value target' patrols on each planet - there's no pre-rrquisitr to getting them right? Just RNG luck of the beacons? Me and Ninth were on the moon for aaaages last night and didn't get a single one, only managed to get one on Venus as well but I don't recall it being that hard to get/find them on my titan. I'm available from right now haha. @Rummy and @Nintendo Fan Do you want a third man for the nightfall? Thanks again for joining! I think I was going a bit too leeroy on occasion leading to my deaths, so apologies for that! The grandest irony is that after I did those 5 heroic strikes for the quest the NEXT step turned out to be do a nightfall. So now I need to do another one! -.- Edited January 9, 2016 by Rummy
Nintendo Fan Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 The moon and it's freakin beacons! @Rummy we spent what..about an hour+ on that. I mean we both had the quest for it so i don't know what's up with it. I had a look on the interwebs apparently we can keep abandoning missions from the beacons until we get the one we need. Thanks @DriftKaiser for helping us out. I forget how hard things hurt in Nightfall 2-3 hits and dead! we did good tho, i spent most of my time in survival mode playing it safe haha. Dragon's Breath aoe effect is insane love it.
Shorty Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Are you trying to get the kill a VIP patrol mission? I'd suggest loading separate instances of the moon so you're checking 2x as much then inviting the other person when you get one.
Rummy Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah I been thinking that since @Shorty. We were just very unfortunate I think - I went to Mars today to do something and managed to chance by two VIP patrol missions! Just madness we didn't see any on the moon or, other than the one, on Venus - I was checking all the beacon spots for the latter! I'm off out in a few hours @Nintendo_Fan, but I still need those taken champions on earth if you are on and wanna run them at some point. Got my phone with me so a PS message will get me back to the console if I'm not on. Got another mission I'm struggling a bit on too though that's not a pressing thing(if you're cool to help).
Agent Gibbs Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) i'm just leveling up my hunter and the radar instead of the usual pie wedges the radar is in noticeable smaller sections making it more accurate on direction Have they changed the radar or is it a hunter thing? EDIT NVM its a nightstalker perk Edited January 10, 2016 by Agent Gibbs
DriftKaiser Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Edit. Just made to the Lighthouse for first time. Got Adept Water Star Gun and Y2 NLB. Edited January 10, 2016 by DriftKaiser
Agent Gibbs Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Why is this thread so quiet lately? has a new game come out?
Daft Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Because sod all has happened in Destiny for a while. I expect an announcement next week.
Shorty Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I think we probably skipped the challenge mode this week because we're all sick of 320 heavies and artifacts :p Plus warpriest can be a dick. I played Trials on Monday and am still looking forward to it again this weekend. Next week I'll be up for another raid chasing some gear. Bungie certainly seems to have given themselves a big break over Christmas.
