    poking your head out without dying when there's 2 wizards and omnigul in the final room and you haven't got anyone to split their fire must have been a lot of fun

    Man, this game. I tell myself, last game, then I'm shelving Bad Juju. Proceed to decimate the enemy team in Crucible with that same gun. I guess it isn't ready to be shelved.

    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.

    Hahahahaha, angry and lightswitch on a cabal nightfall without burn... Yeah fuck off.

    I honestly don't think Bungie knows how to make the game fun, all the fun is almost despite of the stupid decisions they make. Seriously.. No burn on a nightfall.

    Could be worse, could be Winter's Run (Archon Priest).

    Which it will be next week. *Shudder*

    Edit:
    Someone on reddit found a new cheese spot for Valus:

    May try that when I take my Hunter and Titan round that Nightfall later.

    Bungie is making me reevaluate my interest in the game on a weekly basis these past weeks, no burn on the nightfall? Fuck off.

  • CormacCormac Registered User regular
    No burn and juggler on what might be the bullet spongiest boss in the game? Yeah, I think I'll only be doing the nightfall and skipping the weekly again. The nightfall is still going to be an awful goddamn slog though.

    Gjallarhorn from my first crota chest today, So finally got one of the last 2 exotics I want. Also first time getting an exotic from that chest. Then next character gets No Land Beyond, passed on that with xur, so guess that's ok.

    There have been a few without burns. One of which was Cerberus Vae III from early November. I vaguely recall there being a Nexus or Summoning Pits without a burn too.

    I think they did it once previously. It was painful and tedious. It may have been on this same boss fight.
    Fuck it. If they want to go ahead and make this a slog, I'm using the cheese spot. Ice breaker. Apply directly to the forehead.

    Nope - week 9 had the same strike, no burn.

    People had an interesting theory that there was a cycle that would be followed for nightfall&burn, but it was skewed by the arrival of Omegle Omnigul. Orignal cycle below:

    Nothing says "fuck you" quite so much as soloing most of the nightfall only for the game to give the guy who drops in for the boss the icebreaker. Especially when I get some piece of shit hmg that makes SGA look accurate for all that work.

    Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.

    In much more positive news, I've been playing a lot of crucible as of late.
    My normal running crew was just my friend (LAJudoka on PSN. Some of you may have played with us before) and we had middling success at best with PUGs.
    Recently @Schlagholzer‌ has joined us on our exploits and we have been doing a pretty good job of rocking faces on skirmish.
    Usually the first match or two after a several day break is not super great, but then we have matches like these:

    Managed to get over a 6.0 on K/D!
    Kept the enemy team's total under 2k

    Anyway, not all of it is super memorable score-wise, but it's nice to have a small group that you work really well with!

    I'm not sure if I will do this week's nightfall either. I have all Titan exotics except for the Glasshouse, and I'm in no hurry to pick that one up. Otherwise, every exotic weapon or gear that i want, I already have, save the Mythoclast.

    Careful; not doing the nightfalls when they're terrible is one of the first steps along the path to Destiny detoxification. :P

    I think that cycle seems to be holding but with the omnigul strike inserted between nexus and Cerberus Vae. Arc burn version after the solar nexus and Solar burn version after the void nexus.

    I kinda wish they'd make it properly random as well as platform independent to get the PS exclusives into the rotation, though I can't imagine what a horror show undying mind would be with angry and burn. That stairs section would be the stuff of nightmares.

    Valus with no burns, angry, and lightswitch? I really hope they make it even MORE fun next time... double the HP and give every enemy 3 different layered shields with recharge time similar to a captain in a public event. And completing it should not award anything except motes of light.

    The crappy thing about that is that valus himself isn't really super DIFFICULT. It's just a matter of going through seven full sets of ammo for all of your weapons to kill him.
    Like how is that fun?

    Boots, Boots everywhere. Only had the game since Christmas (PS3) and only up to level 25 currently. Had my second legendary armor drop. A second pair of legendary boots :sad: . Just a few more bounties (to get some commendations) and I can buy my way to around 27. Then on to some raids.

    If anyone is PS3 (psn: wesgilbert) still, hit me up. I bounty, strike/soon to raid.

    I wouldn't mind if they allowed re-rolling on pretty much every weapon in the game (maybe exotics should be exempt from re-rolling). Perks are what make a gun feel unique, and the super-random care package system is disappointing.

    I have little use for marks (Helium Filaments).

    I have zero use for commendations.

    I have little use for strange coins (I will eventually get all my exotics; heavy ammo synths are best).

    I have little use for motes of light (engrambling).
