Re: Destiny

Yeah, they at least need to weight the strikes per fireteam, not just how they seem to weight them globally. Basically the game seems to want all strikes played in equal numbers over time, so if the numbers work out right, you end a shield brothers strike, when it goes to find a new strike the one that is now open is shield brothers. Having a full fireteam seems to help alleviate these problems, probably the pause to search for another player causes the strike to be opened by the time it searches, but it doesn't always help. Taking a little extra time, maybe clear some extra adds instead of running past some, might help break the cycle.

Re: Destiny

For the record, you can do legacy strikes too and still get the same rewards it seems. Including the strike specific special legendarios

Re: Destiny

I used the Warmind mission to farm the ability kills. Just go in with any armor that gives grenades on spawn. Let the thrall come out in bunches. Toss fusion grenades. Let more run out. Bunch them up. Grenades. Kill yourself. Rinse & repeat. I even put on bladedancer kills extend time and bladedanced for like 3 mins lol. If you raise the light I think even more spawn.

Works with any subclass tho.

Sidenote. The simulant is actually pretty beastly. Just used it on the nightfall & it did about 20k every boss crit. It did +100k on the tank legs. Crazy. Ran some regular strikes. Killed Valuus in like 3 MINS with 2 tethers. Undying mind took 1 rotation. Didn't even spawn the majors.

Re: Destiny

So apparently there is a workaround for waiting for the Sleeper quest. If someone who has done it invites you to their fireteam, you can still do it.

That said, if there's anyone who wants to help me out, gamer tag is DonkeyJote [emoji14]

Re: Destiny

If you're in a fireteam, they should let the team vote on the next strike. Give us three options, majority wins, if its a three way tie, make it random. That would help alleviate the constant quitting out when undying mind comes up or Valus for the 3rd time in a row comes up.


And Sleeper seems to be significantly better if the entire fireteam is using it at the same time, which is identical to what made Gjallarhorn so good. Gank the boss with it and enjoy the 2 min boss fight. Simulant just requires slightly more effort in aiming it. When people catch onto that, I wonder if bungie will bury that gun too.

I still enjoy using Black Spindle more. The same reason Ive recently fallen in love with Bad JuJu. The no reloading is too good!

Re: Destiny

Or the strike playlists should include all of the strikes. Getting doubles would be less likely.

Re: Destiny

Luke Smith did a podcast with Planet Destiny recently where he said they didnt want to use assets updating old strikes and were instead concentrating on new content. I guess adding them as is is just not an option to them right now? IDk.

Re: Destiny

They don't have to update them. Just add them to the rotation. I don't need taken in every strike.

Re: Destiny

I get Undying Mind 90% of the time. Not fun. The Flayers are another 9%. They don't have to do anything with the legacy strikes but add them into the playlist, though adding more strikes won't necessarily solve the issues with the system as it is. Even if the strikes played in a certain order, that would probably be fine.

Light is up to 288. So close, though I haven't had much luck getting weapons over 290. One sidearm is the only weapon I've gotten over 290. I need to finish a couple quests still that may help, but they all require all fireteams.

I did find my last Fusion rifle for the gunsmith last night, so I guess that means the Sleeper Simulant quest should open to me now, whenever Bungie decides to unlock it again?? Odd that's how they are doing it, but whatever, I'm used to strange design decisions when it comes to this game.

Take your common sense and reason and get out of here.

Taken or STFU......

Re: Destiny

I went to r/fireteams and sent a dude a message to do the raid. Turns out it was just Oryx, though I didn't know that going. Oh well. Proceeded to take 6 tries to kill him. Haven't had that much difficulty since my first run. Joined a second group and it sounded like all Jr high and high school kids. It got annoying. Almost left on Oryx; I had already done it on that char, and these kids wouldn't shut up and actually do the fight. One guy jumped up to get the relic instead of the guy who was doing it because he thought it would be funny. Was just getting irritated.

Re: Destiny

Just started playing again and other than the fact that I'm overwhelmed, this DLC is so legit. Looking forward to leveling up all my guys and all the new gear.

Re: Destiny

I played 5 strikes tonight and got a whole ton of rare and legendary engrams. On my last strike I got an Exotic Primary Weapon engram drop. Went to Master Rahool and turned it in for this bad boy!

Re: Destiny

Finally had time to do the raid last night with my buddies. Had a clean run up to Oryx, but he took about 10 attempts to actually beat. We did it though, and I got up to 46 fragments. Now to get the Malice.

Got 304 boots, the pulse rifle at 307, and the scout rifle at 306. Thinking about infusing the scout into my Hung Jury as it has a pretty crappy roll.

Re: Destiny

So I was playing late last night......Was doing that Temple mission on the Moon with my brother in-law.

I get back to Earth and in my message box I had a special delivery which was a one time consumable "The Spark of Light" that jacked me up from my current level (6) to a level 25 with a ton of leveled up gear, guns etc.

It also opened all the Taken King content......I did not purchase any of this yet. I just have the base game.

What in the world happened? Don't get me wrong...really happy about that. But how did this show up in my game?
