*** The Official Destiny Thread (now includes 2.0 and TTK) ***

Done the Nightfall on both of my Warlocks last night, just the hunter to go. Picked up a legendary Arc sniper and a FWC handcannon. I think FWC must be having a fire sale as I have had three of their available weapons now from strikes...

The Nightfall wasn't as bad as I was expecting. We found the best spot for Sepkis is to stay in the hallway / room at the entrance (the one with the door that opens). Hit him with arc fire and retreat way back into the previous room when the captain spawns. If the captain (and melee vandals) follow you, hit them with your arc heavies and then continue hitting Sepkis. He goes down in no time thanks to the arc damage burn coupled with two P&T.

Arguably the hardest part of the Nightfall was ensuring you kill the Dregs before they can hide. The Arc grenades they throw (seemingly constantly) are a pain in the rear!

I also attempted the Iron banner but it couldn't find any guardians (stayed at 1/12). Tried twice and gave up.
 
I have absolutely no desire to grind rank 3/4 Ironbanner for an item with 3 more Light. I really dislike PvP in Destiny, it's so samey and the maps just suck.

I did it while I was getting FWC to rank 3, but much prefer doing the PvE/coop stuff now. It's crying out for some more interesting game modes, potential is there. Weapon balance isn't great either.

Not too impressed with Epilogue so far, didn't realise it was a low-impact bullet hose. Still, it's void primary, once I've got the perks it'll improve, already eats through minotaurs with no upgrades, it'll be a VoG beast
 
Why is iron banner only control? I hate playing with useless randoms all the time. I hope they add some 3v3 modes to it at some point.

Room on the left as you go in, stay in there and the captains won't spawn.

That is true although we found that staying in the initial corridor meant we only had to worry about those spawns and nothing else* (it seemed to confuse the normal enemies). The boss also stayed directly in front of us (or teleported so he was still in front but further away - not an issue with snipers).

The room on the left is still a perfectly viable strategy though. :)

*If we moved back enough they just ran past the door anyway - one rocket at the doorway killed the lot regardless.

Fancy getting a 6man in and blazing it sometime this week? Like to do it regularly as IB rep be far easier to gain!

ps3ud0 :cool:

I can do it from around 8pm Thursday or during the day on Friday and possibly the evening if it's any good to you? I'm trying to get to level 3 so I can buy the boots seeing as the raids keep shafting me over!
 
Did nightfall on my lunch break...was pretty straightforward, stayed in start room for Sepkis, arc launcher for the captains, P&T for sepkis, pretty easy.

And I got Gjallahorn for it :cool:

jammy git.

Was hoping for Gjallarhorn this week but got another truth instead :(
 
Well my friends now hate me after the raid last night. :cool:

I got
  • My second piece of raid armour
  • Found Verdict for the second time
  • Icebreaker for the second week in a row
  • Truth

I'm expecting my luck to run out at some point, and I'll join the others in the eternal hell of Chatterwhite.
 
Thorn nurf on the DOT is annoying!
So many times on PvP I get opponents to a sliver of health and I get taken out. Usually up to 2v1, I can tackle them without a problem as pop shot one, take cover, pop him again before finishing off the other in a stand off. Now I have 2 firing at me as one of them didn't die.

Now that my Titan hits level 29, I might just bring my Hunter to that too (already got 1 exotic and 1 Raid) to bring him to 29. Only playing it weekly for rewards and raids.

Dragon Age is out this week, and that needs more levelling :p

I was running hard mode with some randoms on Tuesday, a lv29 who had never done it before got:
Fatebringer
Mythocast
Hawkmoon
Raid helmet
Raid gauntlets

I just got shards, Praedyths timepiece and 2 raid helmets which I have no use for. I needed the gauntlets, Hawkmoon and Mythocast.
 
The sound the Hive ships now make is :eek: when I have the sound a bit too high via my headphones. Killing the first Swarm prince for the easy bounty yesterday and one popped in overhead.

Slightly annoyingly I've now got the raid gauntlets and boots, so the iron banner is a wasted event for me. I'd much rather have gotten the chest armour.

However, my boss really really wants icebreaker so disassembling my second in front of him was pretty funny. I'm sure I'll pay for it today though :eek:
 
It's never a waste event if the boots or gloves cater for your character more than what the Raid gear gives.

e.g. I would work for the IB Boots for the AR ammo than the Raids which is Heavy Ammo only.

I got two cruddy scout rifles and whatever else i got was so lame i cant even remember what it was. Probably strange coins again :(


On the plus side, my new warlock class character is just one week old, has done the raid twice and has all 4 pieces of raid armour!! Level 30 in a week :o

Wish ot had been that quick for my two titans hahaha

How did you do that :( I have done it probably 10+ times and still only have helmet and chest for my Warlock.
