That's fine. Just got my tenth Soliton Flare now, and just realised I also need solar ability kills.

Bit confused by that as I've bern doing shedloads of public events on the moon to take the edge off farming, and I've been using Golden Gun while doibg them, yet only have 1%?

You need 500 kills.

Yeah, you need a HUGE amount of kills using your special and the only special that a hunter has that does remotely large damage to many enemies is blade dancer. I did my void ability kills using the shadowshot and it took me about 3 hours I reckon. That was just killing solidly and that was when the infinite shadowshot bug was still usable. Without that it would have taken me weeks.

Yeah 500...worst grind since launch. Best bet is grenades and I think the flaming throwing knives count.

Took me about an hr to get my last 70% kills on hunter. Best place to do it is the warmind strike where the thralls are in the corridor before the final room. Kill them then suicide yourself, you will respawn just before the corridor...rinse and repeat. Easiest and best way to get your 500 kills.

Got my malice today, feeling kind of hyped for KF hard mode tomorrow

 

[Wyrdo]

Anyone around Saturday afternoon for either a shot at hard mode raid or another run through normal?

I wouldn't mind a run through normal if there are any more raids going on, only just got another PS4 and Taken King a week ago so getting back into the swing of things.

 

[TehBluebear]

Cheers for the run tonight lads! Finally saw the death of Oryx, and got bumped up to 301 to boot! Not too fond of how the raid auto rifle handles however.

I haven't tested it yet but I believe if you are carrying a tomb husk (like in the black spindle mission...) then every melee kill with it counts as an ability kill so you can just semi-farm the first few rooms.

On hunter I used the throwing knife instant reset for precisions but if you can get lots of thrawl grouped up on the siege of the warmind mission you can get a decent number of kills in one go. It is so tedious though.

I'd be up for a normal mode run. I'm only 300 light so not sure I'm ready to tackle hard mode. My mrs is in work on Saturday so I'll be on destiny from about 9am to 5pm

Awesome - sauce

I finally managed to grab a few minutes at 10 o'clock and saw you had the raid emblem.

Looking forward to the HM run tomorrow night. Hopefully it will be dry here tomorrow so we can have the bunnies out on the garden in the afternoon.

 

[sk8board_pete]

Any chance any of the kind people on here want to help me finish off my raid? I have the sisters CP.
Managed to get to 299 light but the LFG i had were taking things TOO seriously so i dived out, want to finish this weeks off. Not too bothered when but prefer evenings.

EDIT: removing this

 

[Drunzer]

Good Luck to all the brave guardians trying this tonight, I shall have my shot tomorrow night. Can't wait =)

Interesting words about HM on the weekly update. Basically saying there will be new mechanics on top of the existing ones, rather than just more/harder mobs.

I always thought that would be the case. They said from the start they basically designed hard mode first and then scaled it back for normal. I always assumed that meant a mechanic or two was removed. It'll certainly be interesting to see, I'm hoping I can get in on a raid tonight to have a look for myself.

 

[TehBluebear]

I'm more concerned by the image of the swinging casks. Are they now Hard Mode also? Have they speeded them up?

I hope so, they're too easy, I need a jumping challenge

 

[mid_gen]

Does look a bit like there's only 3 of them now? Would make the timing of the jumps pretty tricky. I like the jumpy bits

Fun times ahead .

If the casks are hard I'm dreading the ships
