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

Cheers for the Fireteam help last night on the various Strikes and Dark Below story missons Diddums and Biron! Husk of the Pit is nearly upgraded; it should finish during the Strike I need to do tonight if you two want to join me again for that? Unfortunately, the next story mission Strike appears to be the one where we have to kill Omnigul, so we'll have to force our way through that again :(

Had fun last night on the Rifts, I just need better weapons, although I do love my Regulator.

I noticed that last night, Control wasn't it? I jumped in to grab the ten marks and actually had a reasonable game (still came last lol) and also noted that it didn't colourise and still showed marks as a reward too.

It was the domination style control where you have to hold the points rather than simply holding the points gives a bonus on kills. Hopefully it is unlimited or a at least good source of marks as I like both pve and pvp so nice to earn something from playing pvp now.

Its Zone Control which differs from normal Control in that you gain points by holding points and you have to keep hold of them to gain points. There are no points for kills.

Control only gives you points for the flag capture itself, and kills. Once you hold the flag, your score doesn't automatically increase like it does in zone control.

Its not unlimited, its the PVP weekly activity. You can earn 10 marks for a win 3 times per character - so up to a max of 30 marks. Just like the heroic strikes.

Maybe it's got a weekly limit of 3 same as the heroic strikes....to even up the rewards of PvP vs PvE players.

Thanks Fr0dders, so 30 marks as week per character. I really should get my alts levelled up so I can start earning some marks on them. Especially as I want to buy armour for them both rather than grind it all the way.
 
its 10 marks a week per character so 30 in total per account.

The game just lets you earn them on one character now and doesn't make you swap :)
 
Banshee's Armsday orders have arrived. The Lyudmila pulse rifle I requested has nearly 4 times the impact of my Bad Juju. Can't wait to try it out.

Yeah the app said it was 87 so I was going to swap to NM last night and buy it but when I had a look it said 35. Guessing the app and DB are wrong!

Mind you, when you swap to extended mag on the DO scout it doesn't change in the character screen until you go back to the game then back to the screen again.

Also, my Hakke sniper which has handlaid stock says it reduces mag size but I get no reduction, still 4 in the mag. Write thinks it's a quirk of the perk % reduction, I'm not complaining! :D

Yeah it's only 35 the NM MG. It's still very good though, unlikely to get a better one unless you prefer the low impact ones.

Hmm I got a choice of two Suros pulse rifles DIS-43. High caliber rounds, zen moment, single point sling, or one with counterbalance, perfect balance and speed reload. Both high impact....not sure which to go for...

Might order the Omolon sniper or Hakke pulse for next week.

Any time mate, you'd do well to join us on a Friday night or something when we're usually tearing it up in the crucible, send out some friend requests and you'll never be short of folks to play with. Not sure yet if I'll be on tonight but if I am shoot me an invite and we can go pummel some faces :)
 
There's allegedly a special reward on the daily heroic today.

"I don't know if it has to be triggered a certain way, but when you are at the part where you have to find 2 relics to unlock the door for the second time as you escape the temple of crota, go towards the Shadow Thief strike where you board the ketch and finish the mission form there.

You have 10 minutes to clear the ketch of Taken enemies and kill the ultra taken captain "Driviks".

Exotic sniper 'Black Spindle' , pretty much a Y2 black hammer.

Hard as nails to solo apparently, best take a fireteam. I'll be on around 5pm to have a blast through it if anyone is around?

Long time since I've posted on here!

Was having a look to see if anyone had any info on this and thought I'd share my experience. I've tried to solo it but failed as there are sooo many things to kill.

I basically ran all the way to the end of the daily where you kill the ogre, then legged it all the way back until you get past the room where you need 2 keys to open the door. Killed a few things in that room, grabbed the runes and opened the door.

You then head to where you fight Taniks in the strike and board the Ketch up the lift thing. Entering the first room then triggers a 10 minute cooldown and it seems you just have to kill everything in the room to open the door to the next area. I got to the room where the walker usually is and cleared everything bar 1 sniper when time ran out :(

I presume you have to get to the next room where the final fight with Taniks usually is where there will be more taken and a boss. It's hard as nails solo so as mid_gen says, take a fireteam.

Gonna have another bash now solo, I like a challenge :)

Edit: looks like you have to get there without dieing as I just died on the way and the door was closed when I got there
