    Assuming I haven't already missed Taken 2: Oryx Dies At The End, I won't be around this weekend due to canuck turkey appreciation day. I'll be attempting to find a group tonight (and Monday night if necessary or requested).

    If there was a sequel I missed it too, I'm totally ready to raid toniiiiighta

    Try to bang it out quickly at 7 pm PST?

    I'm your huckleberry. I'll make sure I'm around at 1850-ish.

    Sounds good to me, I'm in.

    I can't tonight :( My flight simulator group does our weekly flight Friday's at 7 PST. So unless we start later, I won't make it tonight.

    So me and @Iron Weasel did a bit of Court last night. Didn't want to stay too long because there were only 4 Guardians there including us, and I'm openly doubtful about our ability to 4-man a T3 Rune. Shouldn't have worried. Raze-Lighter put down Kagoor in maybe three swings. I actually felt bad once the servile Ogre went down and Kagoor was at our mercy.

    Sword. It's gonna fuck you up.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    Yeah the swords are brutal. I mean most boss characters have an aoe melee hit, but if you block it/dodge it. You can get some r trigger swings in and annihilate them.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I still find it hilarious and sad that the most sought-after item from the raid is the ghost from the first damn chest.

    I know from experience it can drop from the second chest as well. Its not just the first one can drop it. But yeah I was happy as hell when I got a 308 ghost.

    The first chest can drop Ghost Shells? As in the one directly inside the Portal and not the one directly before Warpriest?

    If so, I have never seen a Ghost Shell drop there, ever.

    I have gotten 3 Ghost Shells, 302, 302 and 303 from the one before Warpriest.

    I think rndmhero meant the second chest, as most folks don't register that you get a chest after Double-Dunk in the Court of Oryx.

    I've never seen anything but Moldy Shards drop from that first chest.

    Question: My sleeper stimulant requires Helium filaments to upgrade. I've burned through the 300+ I had left from Y1 (somehow), so I went to Archer's Line to do some farming. The coils on the ground and the chests in the area all give me no filaments? The chests give me glimmer, but I did a full circuit twice and ended up with zero helium. What do? Anyone have any ideas?

    This warsats thing is the first Destiny quest that's made me genuinely pissed off. Sword quest I grumbled at, other grindy stuff, whatever, but this?

    I'm running around Mars, not playing the game, waiting for events to spawn. And they're never the event I need, so I have to just keep running around, not actually playing the game.

    This is stupid. This is game design from 15 years ago. How did this get past testing and get approved to go into the game? You can't even make the argument that it's something you just "need to work for," because it's just sitting around and hoping the thing you need is what spawns.

    What the fuck, Bungie? Why does one of your quests literally require me to waste my fucking time?

    Different strokes. I once spent 2 hours derping around Ember Caves on Venus, just... Killing things. I know it was at least 2 hours, because I killed that many walkers as they spawned for events. Was great. Didn't consider it more or less a waste of time than anything else I could do in a game about shooting things until their loot falls out. I hear "must get 3 warsats" and I seriously thought "NBD, the strikes will be the annoying part."

    I'm about 48 public events from filling the grimoire entry (complete 250), lol.
    Yo, I've spent 108 hours in Patrol. Partly because I'm not particularly social, and partly because I just love the feel of this game, especially when you're way above the level of the enemies.

    ... According to the app, I have participated in 260 public events in that time. I'd venture to say that 250 is a pretty crazy goal.

    So the Oryx drop literally gave you nothing? Nothing waiting at the post master, not a single item?

    Nah, killing Oryx gave me a single pair of gloves (4th Handcannon reload ones) which were sent to the postmaster, I even got some identical ones from Golgoroth on the same trip.

    The Moldering Shards gives an additional loot roll beyond those gloves, my problem is that this loot roll can end up being literally "Nothing", still takes your 20 Moldering Shards for zero reward, which I'd call bad design.

    Could be the other way around. The shards gave you the gloves and Oryx gave you nothing. Same shitty result but thats the way I'm told that it works. The example I have heard is when you get 2 shards from Oryx, which is the loot he dropped you, and the 20 you spend give you an actual item. It appears to alot of people like he is trading your 20 for 2.

    That the current biggest endgame boss in the game wouldnt drop a single item when defeated is even worse.

    I remember 3 times in a row where Crota gave me 2-3 shards for beating him, yeah thanks for that great reward.

    Should be a guaranteed single drop from Oryx, 1 possible drop from Moldering Shards, fine it can be "Nothing" as a possible outcome, just dont use the shards then.

ALL Black Spindles in vaults and inventories are being set to 290 (even if its a printed one that you have infused back up on your own) and the blueprint version will be the standard 280.

    While I appreciate Bungie telling us in advance, I really think they are making a mistake here, getting a Black Spindle is not easy for most people, they should just let it stay as a 310 - Also for all future dropped Black Spindles.

    This seems incredibly antagonistic on Bungie's part. If they want to change the drop and kiosk versions fine. But to nuke all Black Spindles regardless of how they were infused is punishing the user-base for Bungie's mistake.

    It's also ridiculous that it's going to let people effectively infuse weapons up who have one in advance and punish later adopters. The worst of all worlds.

    Like I get that the schematic shouldn't be 300, but there is no reason the drop version shouldn't be 310 that quest aint easy.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
