Re: Destiny

I'm seeing at least one person doing the shadowshot cheat in every game of crucible. Hopefully everyone is reporting these guys for cheating, even though that probably doesn't help much.

Re: Destiny

Only really had one, but he was abusing it, shadowshots every couple seconds and always in twos. They lost though, and if I recall quite handily.

Re: Destiny

Nightfalls were waaay easier before TTK, the strikes themselves were easier. You aren't punished if your fireteam dies, but that doesn't make them easier, just more convenient if you die.

The only hard part of Saber you can glitch past. The shield brothers isn't bad at all if you clear adds, and there's really only 2 fights in it. Sunless Cell is pretty easy. Dust Bowl (which hasn't been nightfall yet) is super easy with swords (but 3ofC doesn't work). Undying Mind is the only one I've had any difficulty with.

Maybe that's why I'm more okay with the rewards. I think the nightfall is actually easier than the heroic strikes most weeks.

Cheating the first part of the saber is lame and not an actual excuse for that part being obnoxiously difficult. I think that section is the hardest PVE moment in the game at this point (once you get raid dynamics down its a breeze). But Im not complaining about that anyway. There should be more difficult things in that game like that instance and the black spindle instance. Thats fun to conquer imo.

None of the new strikes are particularly hard. The rewards are simply lacking from nightfalls. They took booting to orbit out of Nightfall and along with it removed the xp boost and 500 faction rep boost? Why did that happen? Im glad Luke Smith realized that wasnt going to fly for long. They took away our guaranteed 27 coins a week and replaced it with "play the game and get coins for your time. Now thats too much for them so insta nerf? Man Bungie, these these little stunting progression techniques you use are trash.

Re: Destiny

I want the faction boost back for nightfalls. Factions level very slowly. For the guaranteed strange coins on the weekly, I much prefer the high marks you get.

Re: Destiny

Meh I dont care about marks anymore. Id rather coins. Or more specifically Id rather a Zhalo so I can close the book on my exotic weapons collection early this year. Its all I need left. Hopefully I get it before Fallout drops.

Easier. Do you not quite understand what that suffix entails?

I soloed old nightfalls every week, did all three every week (not always solo, sometimes people would join, but I started solo with intention to solo). Go solo this week's nightfall and tell me it wasn't easier before.

Re: Destiny

finally able to get the black spindle. the first 2 times it came up, it happened to be on night I raided.

tried a couple of times with randoms from LFG, failed each time, twice killed the boss, but didn't have enough time to finish off the adds.

joined 2 guys, I guess they were in a party and and didn't invite me, so we weren't able to communicate, first try we killed the boss, and just ran out of time. the 2nd try, got to last room with about 7:40 to go and easily got it. I think there was around 1:35 on the clock.

So funny we ran the raid last night and I used (3) Three of Coins. Didn't get an exotic drop until we killed the shadow of oryx. Forgot about it until I got to the tower. Saw that it was a primary engram and said to my friend in chat nonchalantly "Oh look another ****ing exotic to decrypt into a year 2 version of something I already have." seeing how its happened with the 10+ primary exotics engrams I've had.

Lo and behold, its the Supercell and l was a happy camper.

Re: Destiny

For chaperone just put on last word before a win, I'm up to like 20% just from what little iron banner I have played (not even to level 3)

For first curse, you just need 7 precision hand cannon kills with the hand cannon they give, no idea how hard that is but if nothing else find someone that will boost you

I suppose I could go at it that way, its what 3% for a win. Maybe also when I get heavy ammo?

I definitely see it being harder solo. The new strikes, moreso than the old, are meant to be done as a team. There are less cheese spots and, on Saber especially, less spots where you can just hang back with a sniper. I didn't solo nightfalls often. I think maybe 3 or 4 times towards the end when I was running out of challenges. But strikes have always been designed as team experiences, so I don't think it's fair to judge their difficulty on solobility. I think Saber is, overall, still easier than not cheesing old Valus (i think the tank version is harder than the taken version) and Omnigul for sure. Maybe archon priest on weeks it wasn't solar burn so you couldn't just melt him with gjallahorn.

Re: Destiny

Hard Mode raid next Friday, should be interesting. They said recommended level to try is 300-320...gear that will drop is random at 300-320. Interesting

Re: Destiny

I thought it'd still max out at 310. Interesting. I wonder what the drops will be like.

The thing is, these strange coin/weapon part nerfs probably don't effect the people like us who play the game a ton and often have huge stockpiles. Could you imagine if you just started playing destiny and you're not even able to upgrade or try out random weapons because you're terrified of not having any weapon parts when something really good drops? Thats the people really being screwed.

Re: Destiny

Imagine being a new player and getting your first exotic. Then wanting to infuse it.... Each time you infuse for an exotic it costs you and exotic shard. Where are new players getting exotic shards from? They are royally screwed over.
