Destiny |OT14| Sticking It Hard in Crota's End
- Thread starter Hawkian
- Start date
Dude I like this. It goes right in the face on Bungies thing about sharing stories/reminiscing about how and when you got certain thing...Bet itd be great and let the community know that they are not alone.
120? I have like 5 left. I was really banking on him selling those. I was popping them like crazy in ROC just to use my Dragon's Breath as much as possible the last few days to level it up.
Speaking of ROC, seems like Phogoth and Vex, and to a lesser extent Sepktis Prime, are the only ones that people can be bothered to play anymore. It's all speed runs through that shit and one or two people always quit every other strike. Can't blame em.
It looks amazing IMO, but if you want it because of the special perk (extra fusion grenade), you might just be better off saving your coins and using the Gift of the Sun perk instead. If you like Angel of Light or Touch of Flame better, then being able to have an extra fusion grenade along with using one of those is nice, but Touch of Flame won't really do much with fusion grenades since they already one hit kill people in PVP.

I still don't understand why this is a thing. PSN took a nosedive around the time Destiny came out and it's only marginally improved.
Messaging was always a real bad culprit for me. I wound up deleting all of my messages*, which seems to have helped tremendously.
* I had to delete them all from my Vita, since the Playstation app and PS4 wouldn't respond to my requests.

Why are all of the Hunter's exotic such shit?! Geez.

I really need Glimmer badly so would love to try it. It's so damn weird being low on glimmer when that was never an issue with the main game. Anyway, if you get the checkpoint and are willing to show me how to do that GK farm, I'd love to try it. At work now but would be down to do it later!
Also, I'll have to hit you up when I reach 32 with one of my guys as I still need that Flawless trophy. By the time I do you should be a pro at running it ;P Now that I have an alt high enough to do CE, I should start getting radiant shards much quicker. Too bad I don't have a third...might have to start a Hunter soon.
Jesus man, I'm so so sorry! That's incredibly shitty but I'm glad you are safe. I hope insurance gets you most of your things back
Yes, yes you should! If you hate fusion nades then you could use Praxic Fire over it but Fusion nades are awesome and if you don't have Praxic it's especially a no brainer. I love Praxic and have it upgraded and maxed but I'm still going to buy Starfire.
Was this single sword Crota takedown posted yet?
1 sword, 3 Crota kneels
I didn't even realize that was possible. Two 32's, and four 31's -- all with Gjallarhorn.

Yes and GAF repeated it faster in 55 seconds.
Edit sorry the second part of my post was thinking about the two swords at once thing.

I can't live without the Symbiote.
No shit, hahaha. GAF is awesome.
. already got a third maybe next time :x
I'm still not feeling The Last Word. I need to unlock perfect balance for it, but something is throwing me off aim-wise,
I extensively used my TDYK before getting another hand cannon - Thorn (thanks guys for the help!) and initially with Thorn I was aiming slightly above where I needed to be. It felt 'heavier' than TDYK if that makes sense and after a short while I compensated and got it dialled in.
RNGeesus gave me a Last Word shortly after and whilst I like the animations for the aesthetics I'm just not feeling the gun and I think they might actually be throwing me off (on a side note, for folks with way more experience with real life revolvers, are the animations actually meaningful? I thought you wouldn't need to do that if it was a dual action revolver, and if it's single action why is both the barrel and hammer moving together when you slightly pull he trigger?).
Anyway, I got an RNG TDYD yesterday and apart from the tiny mag it feels really really similar in handling to the TDYK.
I guess my question for Last Word users is do you get used to it? Can you get dialled in with it eventually?

Anyone else getting the anteater error?
Had NF drop those bad boys for me, built for doing the raid.
You get used to it. It's a monster in Crucible. I still think Thorn and Hawkmoon have the edge overall, but The Last Word might be the Rumble master. Sometimes you gotta chill out and calmly aim for headshots like a regular handcannon. Hip firing is great but you want to get used to shooting very fast while ADS. It's crazy how fast you can kill someone with it.
TLW with no perks unlocked = extremely difficult to control but fun to mess around with
TLW with hipfire = Good
TLW with Hipfire/Last Word perk = Great
TLW with Hipfire/Last Word/Perfect Balance = Godly
Perfect balance makes a huge difference in the stability

I still need to do the Weekly Heroic with my Titan if someone wants to run it later tonight.
Also, I should give a shout out to Xur for selling something awesome to Warlocks for the first time ever. You finally don't suck a copious amount of D! If he sold Saint-14 or better yet, Glasshouse I'd have been really ecstatic but no complaints from me for the first time ever ;P Even better, after running VoG a billion times and never getting anything good from a chest a single time, I join my buddy Jay on his Gorgon checkpiont and.....BALLERHORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Xur then brings the upgrade!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Now I just need to generate enough glimmer to do the upgrade lol I also got the last piece of CE armor I needed for my Titan, the chest, so just need one of the two aforementioned helmets and he's set. I also got the boots for my Warlock so he just needs the helmet now While I'm on my rant for getting something good for the first time ever in a particular event, anyone that's done NF with me knows I always get garbage. Not once have I gotten an exotic...until now! While I don't use hand cannons and thus, don't really care about it, it's still nice for the collection: Hawkmoon get! Perhaps the best loot week I've ever had in Destiny... Oh yeah, got MIDA from the gorgon chest with my alt too...granted it's not upgraded but still, damn good week!

I'm more shocked that a sample group of the top 15 posters of the thread doesn't include GraveRobberX
I'm too busy doing Bounties, playing the game like the Stockholm Syndrome addict I am!
Also, 6 OT's till OTXX!, we should be there by House of Wolves... Delicious!
You owe me Hawk OT20 better be OTXX!
You understand me

You complete me!

Nice. I kind of thought that may be possible, but would require a sword guy that had no fear. Basically drop Crota's shield as soon as he's picking up the sword and not be afraid of the sword running out on the third break.
Edit: I'm confused now.
Are you talking about two swords two breaks, or one sword three breaks?

I can't believe I never had you on my FL before but that was fixed last night. Time to learn the ways of sage Graverobber soon! I still need to add Figlicious, Sunbro Todd, and Nami-didhereallypostthatmanytimes???
Still need that fusion rifle to complete my Raid Special Weapon collection. I got both Heavy weapons already. And Titan helm would be great too. I need my Ruin Wings back yo!
Why's my name so long? T.T

All of this talk of getting two Sword Bearers has me intrigued. Would you be interested in trying that on Tuesday, lazybones? To be honest, I'm always a little fearful of feeling like anyone's time is being wasted. So, if attempting glitches winds up taking more time than just completing the fight, it gets a little unnerving for me.

Two Swordbearers? Color me intrigued as well. I'm fine with Tuesday
Me too. Sorry I missed the weekly.
Still need to do it. Ugh

Congrats on the Plan C 2.0 from Roc Strike'ing! Though I assume you already have one and it's just an Exotic Shard at this point for you.

So it's pretty safe to assume these are the top 3 weapons in the game, no?
I've heard people say that thunderlord is amazing, whats so great about it? I do mostly PvE...
