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

Im not sure how you keep missing it. Everyone runs to the trap door at the end when I play and so you're ready to jump down. Cant say I've ever missed it and I've only ever done it with randoms.

Are you really slow at jumping down? You can skip a few platforms so long as you jump just before you land.
 
Yeah pretty slow. Managed it second time at least! Another thing I noticed, sometimes during POE, people receive exotic engrams mid fight, I've never received anything, is it just rng?

You need to have used a 3 of coins first. You can purchase them from Xur, it gives you a chance to get an exotic engram when defeating an Ultra
 
Oh ok. Getting really hacked off with my PS4. The pad keeps doing what it wants and moving my aim around and cursor when I'm browsing menus. Doesn't seem to happen on any other game though

With 3 of coins, everytime you use one it doesn't mean you will get an exotic engram. I think it's 1 in 7 three of coins that you will get an exotic engram drop. Not 100% sure on the drop rate but I think it's something similar to what I just said. I usually pop one before a boss fight ie challenge of elders, every round before I start I pop a three of coins. Even on raids I'll pop one at the warpriest and golgoroth bosses then a load of them during the shade part of the final round and if I don't forget, the killing of oryx.
 
OK so its purely on bosses except certain strikes iirc as the end bosses aren't classed as majors or something.
Got to 296 light now. Just the weird control issues ruining it.
 
Omnigul (Will of Light) and Cabal Flayers (Dust Palace) are internally "coded" as Majors, thus the Three of Coins process doesn't work on them. On the flipside they can be supressed/blinded so that is a plus.

Omnigul is hilarious fun if you have three Titans all running defender. All three jump and place bubbles on her platform. Everyone will basically have continuous bubbles (thanks to the orbs) and you can just burn her down (literally if you use Dragon's Breath).

:D

EDIT: In terms of controls do you have the auto centering turned on? If so switch that off. :)

I think it may have been 'lag'. It happens with both controllers so its either that or some kind of wireless interference which would be new. It happens on menu as well, sometimes it will just move the circle to to the edge of the screen and I have to battle to move it back.
How can I tell which Strike I'm actually doing when I use a playlist for example? I have done many over the weekend but I couldn't tell you the name of any. Is it the name which pops up when it starts

How odd RE: controller. Can't say I have experienced anything like that on either PS4 (across 4 controllers).

Strike wise you can tell what strike it is by the voiceover as you are flying in.

For example:

"Taniks has no house, he kneels to no banner" - This will be the Taniks strike (forgot the actual name of it).

When running strikes from the strike playlist they are in essence randomised (although you will often jump between the same strikes a few times during the process).

The level 36 and 41 (Heroic) strike playlist do no include all of the strikes available (for some daft reason). A lot of the "Year 1" strikes you will have played getting up to level 40 have not been brought forward. Devil's Lair, Summoning Pits and The Nexus are all missing. Given that every mission in the game has a light 240 "Heroic" option there is no reason why all of the strikes couldn't be in at least the level 36 list.

I've noticed that I'm missing some of the ones I used to enjoy. Shame really. Yet they thoughts Rockets McDickface was a good one to bring forward....

I usually google the name of the mission pop up right at the start so I know what's going on :) Did my first heroic last night, was hard but got through it pretty easily in the end. I dismantled my exotic Y1 helmet as the bonus was quite good but I had no shard to fuse with some much higher armour gear so I banked it.

Bit of an upgrade since we last played Owen: http://destinytracker.com/destiny/overview/ps/Noxia?v=gear

Your new too Destiny, but what you need too do is finish the taken war quest and get the shotgun and thats all you need. Never use a primary, run around with your shotgun at all times.

I got one as my special and I got an exotic engram from somewhere for another one :)

Indeed (although I quite enjoy the strike now they have toned down his health pool / major add spawns - you can actually "fight" him instead of cheesing it). I hate the stupid Taken version though - why can't they just drop the tank on the things head....

EDIT: Nice Noxia! You are basically ready to have a crack at King's Fall (NM) / CoE (with help due to light level)

:)
