Bloody hell Bungie.

Fear's Embrace? Really?

260 light my ****.

Anyone fancy giving me a hand with this mission tomorrow?

Stay in the doorway at the beginning and sniper the boss. Save rockets / sword for adds that waddle in.

:)

Had some epic fun last night on the court of Oryx. There was 7/8 of us taking it in turns to hit the different tiers (charging runes etc). I think at one point we killed the Tier 3 wizard in around 30-40 seconds. It was total carnage with a Hunter Tether and 6 Titan hammer supers... :D

Funnily enough we actually struggled with the Tier 1 Ogre as the cursed thrall were inexplicably dying before getting anywhere near him. Once his shields were down though... 4 swords make mincemeat of him! :p

I got so much loot but sadly no new ghost (the one thing holding me back - raid has not given me much in the way of armour).
 
Thanks Fr0dders. I retired at level 7 and got to about 28 light. What are the orbs of light for? I used one by accident but didn't see it did anything. I mentions experience for equipment but my stuff doesn't have an experience stat.

I've still got that one.....tried several times, it's an absolute **** to do 'roaming' around the room....then I discovered you can just sit in the doorway. Haven't done it yet though.

I'm not that far in the quest but I'll be on tonight so can give you a hand.

Will you be on tonight for some more court? Turns out most of the fragments I am missing is from beating certain court bosses.

Orb or motes of light? An orb you pick up from the ground (small ball of bluey white light) goes to generating your super. With certain perks and armour they may also re-charge your melee, grenade or health too. Orbs aren't stored anywhere they are consumed as soon as you pick them up. Motes of light on the other hand come many sources and will be in your inventory. Motes are used for a few things but I think what you mean is when you go to your inventory and use one. This will give you some xp which will go to upgrading all weapons and armour you have equipped.
 
I've been playing some Mayhem Clash this weekend, it's great fun. I think it's just because I can spam hammers around the map. Not normally much of a crucible player but this is great. I wish it was a permenant addition.

Might do a bit more crucible this week to get my eye in for the imminent return of Iron Banner.

Greboth it was motes of life. I didn't notice anything other than I could upgrade a heavy weapon I found. That was the only equipment I had that had upgrade option so I guess that explains it.
I played a bit of PVP as well. Got a few kills, I've never been good at these games and will always have a negative KDR but enjoy it all the same.
I got a blue decrypt thing as well that said it could give you an epic item but it only gave me more motes.
Going to try some other weapons tonight. Just been using auto rifle for now.
 
I've not really found a weapon I get on with in crucible since TTK launched. Pulse rifles seem to just edge it still.

Jade Rabbit - hits hard but far too slow RoF
Righteous VII Ar with focused fire is OK but only close-medium range
Uffern HC4 HC - Again, OK but nothing special
Hawksaw - Not bad, would like higher impact though

I've got a Herja-D pulse with rangefinder and headseeker to level up....the 4-round bursts should be pretty good but I've not had a chance to try it out yet.
 
An Answering Chord is nice as is The Villany (FWC). Hawksaw is ok but as you say could do with a little more impact.

The Warlock Exotic Tlaloc is meant to be beastly once your super is up (although I haven't used it myself in PVP yet).

Greboth - Yeah I will be on tonight. :)

The game has a mechanic called supers. These are a special ability which make it really easy to get kills. They charge over time and each class has 3 different sub classes with different options to them. When you kill enemies with them, you spawn orbs of light. You'll see this in the bottom left hand corner with Noxia Generated 2 Orb(s) of light or similar. Other people can use these orbs to charge their super up faster than just waiting for it to recharge. Get enough orbs and you can instantly recharge your super from almost empty to full.

You can't pick your own up, but if you are in patrol mode with others, you can pick up theirs.

Tialoc seems to wreck when you're super is charged, But to get the best out of it you need to spend your entire game with super and not use it.
 
Cheers for the info OweO. Yeah, I had tried that once, and while it was slightly easier to deal with the adds, I still got wrecked by the burning air attack. The next time I tried it, I popped out of that room to avoid the AoE attack, but then realised I had just walked into an absolute cluster**** of enemies lurking to either side.

At that point expletives were said :p

Yeah, if I see you online tonight, I'll send you an invite Greboth. I'd also be up for some Court action too as I could do with those fragments also. There's a shedload from the Regicide quest I'm missing as well.

I think I'm up to the same spot as you on that quest, either way I'll happily join you to give you a hand. PSN: MachM82

it is with three of coins. Three of coins from xur gets you an exotic engram every couple of ultra kills. It makes no difference if those ultras are on the normal strike playlist or the heroic.

Every couple? Every 5-7 coins, if you're lucky. It's still well worth doing though, I got an exotic from the raid last night.

I struggled a bit with this as well until last week, just couldn't find a weapon I was totally comfortable with.. now I have two. Red Death and Suros Dis-43 (Scout Rifle with hidden hand on it). I was never much of a scout fan but that thing just seems to melt people.

Bad JuJu or Red Death? I think I will run one of those for Trials, maybe Hawksaw or Thaloc if I can get it in time.

On another note, Hammer of Troll may be interesting in Trials depending on the map and team. It's now the most powerful super by quite a margin, a 3 man team potentially has the ability to win 3 rounds with their supers if timed correctly. IMO, this was rarely the case in the Y1 meta.

I guess we will see, for now I will make sure I rank that sub class :rolleyes:

I'm going red death, and sweet jesus sunbro super well wreck everything if the map is small enough.

Stormcaller is equally powerful.

There is literally nothing you can do t counter it short of another super.

Nah sunbreaker is so much better, I've killed a lot of stormcallers I can snipe them since there floating about or just run they don't have a lot of speed. Sun break is very fast, has much more range, takes less damage (takes 2 golden gun shots), and they heal. T1 super right now and nothing is close.

Does Three of Coins work on all the raid bosses? I got a celestial nighthawk from the wormsinger ultra earlier which'll be handy if we get to oryx tomorrow.

Yeah, two of us got exotics from different parts of the raid. One guy got one from the Warpriest, I got one from killing the Shadow of Oryx during the final boss fight.
