Ah.... super duper easy that fight.... We just wiped 5-6 times as we fell sorry for the boss... honest!!

AStaley · 11 May 2018 at 13:22

You sure it was 5-6 wipes, don't recall that many? More like 2-3........and they weren't wipes per say more unplanned testing of re-spawn spots.

oweneades · 11 May 2018 at 13:52

Well it was 2-3 until JP just need to try that new spawn spot, over by the wall where the Thrall go en mass. Also there was that one spot on top of the rock which gives a great view of the whole fight and is totally not exposed....

With Xur (hopefully) appearing later this evening the important question is, will I be getting my Suros Regime back.

I’m so fed up of heroic strikes

Why's that, just done one to many or finding them pointless as they don't provide upgrades?

BF-Bert · 11 May 2018 at 17:12

Just did 5 back to back and didn’t finish a single one with the team that I started with

Its the difficulty of them, had a laugh last night but the last one we did started to grate.

I've noticed on the bungie twitter people complaining about them.

Yeah I think the light should be dropped to 340 for them. Some of them are insane on the final boss

When I first started them, I was getting frustrated but it really depends on the group you do it with.
I managed to do 4 in a row with some randoms, it’s all about taking your time really. It’s difficult when it’s randoms off the matchmaking part.

The heroic strike difficulty is fine it is the rewards that are the problem. There should be no reason that something that requires 350PL doesn't at least provide gear up to that PL as a reward. Ideally the grind should be:

- Story to 340 (345 with mods)
- Additional quests and adventures to 340-350 (345-355)
- Heroic strikes to 360 (365)
- NF and Raid tier "end game" to 370-380 (This should be where the real grind begins)

Weekly milestones should work as they do now (up to 5PL over your current average). Exotic engrams should also work like this. Crucible would fit in at it did prior to Warmind (so basically just like playing PVE).

Overall this would lessen the grind for the "casuals" and wouldn't make a lot of difference for the streamers.

Exactly what I was thinking and wanted from the new DLC. I’ve done all the milestones, story mode etc etc and last night ran the raid. But now stuck at the 350 wall, probably run some more heroic strikes but not hopeful of any higher drops.

back on this again chaps - if theres anyone who could help me and a mate run through the raids please. I've done the full story's etc (latest DLC too) but ain't touched ANY of the raids at all.

EDIT: Can't believe I ain't done a single nightfall as yet either on Destiny 2!

oweneades · 14 May 2018 at 07:57

Well it took me until 3am on Sunday morning, but I got my Sleeper.. (I couldn't sleep so thought I would get the grind done). It currently wrecks in the Heroics.

BF-Bert · 14 May 2018 at 08:21

So who's up for a raid this week?

Oweo, JP, AStaley?

Chandler_90 · 14 May 2018 at 10:36

Started the DLC yesterday and finished it pretty quick.

PL 340 with mods atm.

The GF is already complaining after 1 day, I was on roughly 3-4 hours of which she was in for 1 hour of that session.

Looking like I may be single again soon...…..

oweneades · 14 May 2018 at 11:31

Yep I am down for the raid.

Parsnip- that sounds annoying / difficult. If you were on all day then more understandable.

It is very much so, doesn't mind me playing GoW or other games, most I have to play with no sound on.. which is very difficult.

Managed to complete Deus Ex with no sound and almost perfect stealth the other week lol

I've done a few with randoms and had no problems, they are a bit harder but fine really, I think people just got into bad habits.

However, I did find the Nessus Strike (the one with the invisible boss) vert frustrating and quit out of it last night, all I got was 'last guardian standing' all the time, revive someone and 2 seconds they are dead again, it's very hard one to do when you can get one shotted by the mobs.
