Destiny (PS3/PS4) Official Thread

I'm on the elimination portion of that quest line and unless he did it today I believe Jimmy is as well. I tried with randoms. After 3 games where I was the only one on the team to get a kill I quit. I played 1 game with Jimmy and another friend of mine and we pulled off a comeback against a team of teabaggers and gave them a good team bagging after the last round. Still need to get 4 more wins though, so I'm down to run some if you see me on Stotch
 
Does anyone have the ship jumping checkpoint for the Raid? I need the calcified fragment in that area for the Touch of Malice.

 
That sucks. Will you be able to maybe play later today?

I'm hoping I can raid with some of you guys this coming week now that I'm above 290 light and have some good weapons. I received that sniper rifle everyone recommends as a quest reward and have been infusing it.
 
I'll be on tonight for a bit, probably after dinner. 

Don't know about raiding though, I'm sure if a raid call was put out on the PSN chat all the slots have already been taken.  :???:

Daver, Jem, and I did Court of Oryx for a while last night and that was pretty fun. Finished the Eris Quest and got a few more runes, so I might mess about in there.

What's the sniper called? I just got to 280 light and I don't even know how long it will take to get up to 290.

Sorry, but I couldn't think of the name earlier. It's the 1,000 Yard Stare legendary sniper rifle.

I'll be looking to play and possibly complete the Court of Oryx questline tonight, beginning in a couple hours. I have a bunch of runes saved up, and I heard the CoO quest gives out a high level artifact. That's the one slot I'm weak in right now.
 
Nice to see some fellow PSN players.

Just restarted this since I got my PS4 and love it.

Just got my Hawkmoon and have been leveling them up.

Lv 40 Warlock with about 260 Light and gonna try Prison of Elders tonight since I have 2 keys.

 
I guess PSN is down since the thread there has gone silent on my phone lol...is the clan going to organize a raid earlier than the one thursday? We should have enough people for two teams...

I have the Oryx CP. it I just can't find a group to take him down. Posted on reddit and LFG and two people just joined to steal my checkpoint.

I actually got insanely lucky yesterday. Ended up being invited by a random person from LFG, decided to join. 7 tries later and oryx was down. We did get destroyed by a final clap that myself and 2 others didn't know about, and the main guy didn't mention since he thought there was going to be another round of running around, but I guess we inflicted more damage so Oryx decided to just go to the middle and do its clapping while everyone was reloading/repositioning.

Needless to say it felt great, and hopefully now I have another set of people to run it with in case everyone else is busy. It has been hard to find a consistent group this time around. However, I really don't think this Raid is hard at all, once you get the mechanics you can blaze through it, then again having a group that does listen and knows what they are doing is the hard part.

 
So has anyone here pvped since TTK came out? I'm having a ton of fun using stormcaller in pvp with impossible machines. It's like having a mini Titan slam when you initiate the super than you just continue to zap away. Only thing that annoys me is how nothing counters a sunbreaker 1v1 other than heavy or another super.
 
get gud scrub LOL

Just kidding...just practice and watch videos of good players and practice...

I started out just doing IB each time it came around but now I do the daily for marks...and to finish bounties. The thing that sucks is you never know if you are playing good or lagging or if the other team wont die because you suck or they are lagging. You just have to do your best and dont worry.

Got my artifact from Eris and I also finished Shaxx's crucible quest line. I FINALLY unlocked his bounties! :bouncy:

Theyaren't really tough, but can be time consuming. Some are similar to objectives completed during the quest line.

It should go fast as a fireteam, but solo... ugh. A few require wins along with fulfilling certain objectives. The wins part is the issue just because you can't control the randoms you're paired with.

I got a little frustrated with this last night. Funny how I don't normally care about the win, but tie it to a reward and I get ticked off. Hopefully I knock them out tonight for those rewards. But I still have to beat Oryx and get the weapon testing done on my other 2 toons... oh boy

I suck at the PvP. I always get murdered.

Any tips?

Experiment with different weapon loadouts. Something that's great in PvE may not be the best for PvP.

Hand cannons, pulse rifles and shotguns still seem to be the go-to guns for most.

Learn the maps. Figure out the various pathways and whether you're running into a killing zone or cover.

Pay attention to your radar and keep your gun at firing level. Don't move the camera down while running around. It takes too long to move it back up into firing position.

Finally, hang back and don't go in solo. Try to stick with teammates and let them engage the fight. Provide support and cover fire. You may not get the kill, but you should get assists. Plus you'll be learning the maps, tactics and most importantly... not dying (and giving the other team points)

After a while, you'll start to get it. Hell, you might even start enjoying it.

I got sniped across the map while at full health and my sunbreaker activated today. Still have no idea how it happened. Two guys were super close to me and didn't hit me at all and then bam I was dead to 1000 yard stare from a dude as far away as possible.
 
I beat Oryx, got ToM, and honestly have no desire to do that raid again. Vault of Glass was so fun and stayed challenging. If someone died, that sucked, but you could keep going. In KF, if someone goes down, you're better off wiping. Two boss fights are 100% about DPS, and if you can't hit hard enough and fast enough, you're screwed. The war priest and daughter fights were cool.

Oryx isn't hard, it just takes a coordinated group who knows what to do and you can get it done pretty fast. But finding people who don't get frustrated after one wipe or can pay attention to everything going on seems near impossible.

Maybe you got hit by two snipes at once. Because I can test the fact that 1000 yard does not snipe a sunbreaker with a headshot at full health.From what Ive seen and tested I think that only efrideets spear, black spindle, or black hammer may be the only possible one headshot snipes out if at all possible.

Also with the raid if someone wipes its not over. There were certain boss fights like oryx and golgoroth where someone was always dead and it went just fine. Ive 5 manned oryx as well. I like the new raid but it takes way more communication and attention compared to VOG.

Had a pretty good day of exotic drops. I got 2 exotic engrams running vanguards and heroics on my warlock for the quest. I opened them on my hunter and pulled a 310 Monte Carlo and 310 Don't Touch Me's. I got 2 more engrams running T3 court and Draksis later and got Telesto and a pretty nice Praxic. I also got myself setup to get my Touch of Malice after I grab the last few fragments in the raid tomorrow.
 
Got my Oryx kill :D/ .  Ended up with the boots and pulse rifle.

A few goofs initially, but then the finish happened in one run.  Basically, shadowshot makes it easier to stun Oryx; it improves the dps your team dishes out.

Also finished Shaxx's bounties.  My nightall-level reward... a 280 shotgun In Times of Need

 
The thing about nightfall level rewards is that now nightfall rewards suck ass and 3 of coins and heroic strikes/court of orix are where you get the booty. I skipped the nightfall last week and the first week I got a weak ass purple scout rifle.

I've done that (lucky shot), as the warlock was falling from calling radiance, and yup he fell right on the group after the shot...it felt awesome tbh. I guess a headshot >>>> shielded gaurdian

 
Him really digging the raid pulse rifle in crucible. Didn't think I would ever find a replacement for my hopscotch, but holy crap am I kicking butt with this thing.

And from the nightfall this week I got a 283 machine gun. Thanks Bungie.
 
See nightfall is just disappoint...it should at least give you something at or above your current light level or whats the f'n point. You would be better off with an engram than a weapon drop.

 
I used to do it and be like well at least I have an xp buff for the rest of the week, but now you dont even get that. I bet there are a lot of people that have abandoned nightfalls already. I know I dont care if I do it or not unless its fun. 

 
I've completely skipped the Nightfalls the first two weeks. I agree with totallyjem, the rewards are not worth the time and effort. I only did the NFs in the past for the XP buff and any kind of an exotic drop was a nice bonus. Now? They're dead to me unless someone sends a message to join them for a run or two.

 
Shoutout to gujimmy for helping me with that last part of the touch of malice quest this morning. That wouldve been such a pita if i did it by myself.

I have noticed nf rewards are very crap compared to before. Out of my 3 charscters last week only 1 got an exotic (y2 hawkmoon). The other get 12 strange coins and a tao hua yuan or w/ethat sniper call at 290. But ill still do it just for a chance at getting the zhalo supercell
 
I agree with everyone's assessment of the NF. I think Bungie could fix it if they added a decent amount of legendary marks as a guaranteed reward. That would make it still worthwhile even if the end reward sucked.
 
fuck. I thought I was on the last step of this crucible chain before unlocking the bounties, only to find out there's four more fucking steps. Win three games with six auto rifle kills. Then with pulse, then scout...what the fuck. There's like 12 more games it's going to make me win.

Don't forget to bring a hand cannon ;)

This week's Shaxx bounties has one that NEEDS to be done in a fireteam (complete 5 matches in a fireteam of 2 or more). Grab your PvP buddy... does everyone have their PvP buddy...

The crucible QM will also give you bounties that look like Shaxx's bounties, but they don't count towards his NF-reward/progress.

 
I still need to do a few crucible fireteam bounties. If I'm ever playing the crucible feel free to message me if you want to join.

So after all that work, what are the rewards from his bounties?

 
Had a couple cool moments in a Crucible match today.

First this one dude thought he could run and hide from me, but my firefly got him:

​

Then there was that time I would've had a 7th column medal if I had just turned the right direction:

​

 
Up to 276 in Light.

Did a streak of Strikes and got the Darkblade helm for a Titan which I guess is cool.

I wanna do some Prison of elders but can not find enough people.

So I have been doing bounties and Strike playlist.

 
A friend was helping me do the nightfall and someone joins near the end when we kill the undying mind. The person joining gets a zhalo supercell and we get strange coins. At least i got 300 shotgun for finishing the quest line... It got me to 294. I can finally start the raid.

 
The raid was trash for me yesterday. Hunter got the same gloves, shotgun, and ghost i already had. Titan got the same boots, rocket launcher i had on the character. I did get a machine gun but already had that on another character. Warlock got boots that i needed, and im at oryx. So it seems like im lucky to get 3 things from the raid. Also twice i used the 20 shards on oryx just to get 2 shards back. Bad week for me in the raid. So much for that smart loot system, because so far ive only gotten the same armor i already had.

Someone in our fireteam got a 310 suros from the shard chest after golgaroth. We were starting to think it was just a rumor. Been to that chest many times and only seen it drop an exotic once. So it can drop one but i think its really rare.

The maze chest can drop exotics? Or the one in the Piston jumping area?
