I am enjoying this so far! Levelled my main exotic armours and weapons already, and after cashing in all my commendations I got 3 of the 4 new Dead Orbit pieces of titan armour, so bought the final piece to get the whole set.
Liking some of the new perks available on the guns too - and Prison of...
Yeah the elements only apply to the shields in 'normal' play, so once you've taken down an arc shield with an arc weapon, the arc doesn't have any bonus effect. In nightfalls, weeklys and the new Prison of Elders though, the burns come into play - so even if it looks like an enemy has no shield...
Yeah it is worth it - HoC is solar, Truth is void. You need to get a weapon type with each element. I have at least 5 different solar rocket launchers, each with a slightly different role (although Gjallahorn is definitely the best overall, by a mile!)
Truth is good - worth buying. Also if you're a titan, get the helmet. You will need that for Crota on hard as it replenishes health with orbs (unless you get the raid helmet with the same perk roll - seems quite rare though as I've only had this drop once after almost 70 completions)
Deathsinger is quite easy if you have the right strategy and gear - generally it is better to jump up to snipe the wizards from the boomer platforms, then send down one person each side to take out the shriekers whilst the other 4 start picking off the adds. Once the deathblast has passed...
Yeah sorry there was no space last night in our game, we actually did the confluxes on the first attempt with 5 people (1 was level 29) but then took about 10 attempts on Atheon for various reasons. As usual, i got sod all (another ship...)
I'm trying to keep 25k for when HoW drops - and levelling up my vanguard marks a bit. Sadly though I'm away this weekend, so doubt I will be able to!
If you have any vanguard or crucible commendations, you can trash them for XP with the update as it is a currency which is being phased out. I...
That's alright - at least you can use that
Was pleased to get the bounty for not dying on Omnigul throughout the strike - that one is a biatch with juggler and lightswitch on!
My (awful) Nightfall rewards...8 ascendant shards, 8 ascendant shards and another chest of alpha lupi (which I've kept out of spite!)
Then quickly did Crota on normal and got another Blackhammer, so that was the best thing for me
I think a lot of the issue is that gaming is generally more emotive than films and reviewers not always as qualified/experienced. Lots of knee-jerk reactions to game scores and often external factors influencing scores...e.g. COD is generally very high (9/10) or very low (1/10) just depending on...
First reviews are out - got 9.3 on IGN (not that their scores mean much!)
Overall - very good except for the main story
Not sure I can handle a 100 hour game right now but want to buy just because the developers seem to be genuine gamers and not out for a quick buck
Before trying anything else, have you tried a new power supply? The Dell power supplies are notoriously prone to breaking. I was about to throw my media PC to the silicone gods by our office IT guy gave me a new power supply to try and that solved it
I only have 1 gjallahorn and 1 Black Hammer though, some of my friends have 3 each of them, too! One of my clan mates (1,400 hours in) has about 2,500 ascendant energy too!
He still needs Patience & Time though - so I got all the exotics in 700 hours less than him!
I've got UR and never used it I don't think. The invective is good though if you get the bounty for that. I'll be on tonight about 10ish for nightfalls if anyone else is on - last one before HOW so hoping they have a nice short one like last week!
I only played PVP to finish my exotic bounties - will go back in for Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner though (assuming it comes back, hopefully, as I never bothered getting the armour from it)
Icebreaker is awesome. Along with Gjalahorn, it's the best gun in the game I think - I don't really bother with duplicates normally but I have 3 of these (plus 3 Fatebringers - sorry lads!)
Will do Atheon again next week as several of us have run out of ascendant energy so might be a space then...
I should be on later, if not certainly tomorrow. I have every other exotic except Thunderlord. I probably won't use it much but trying to complete my collection
You would think I would be, at 700 hours...but no, still loving it and really excited for both Trials of Osiris and Prison of Elders. Not to mention a Fatebringer with 365 damage!
Sometimes he does, usually stuff you don't want/need. Better than Atheon though, who just gives me sparrows/ships EVERY TIME!!!
We did Vault of Glass on Hard twice last night from the Oracle checkpoint, got a lot of ascendant energy so that was good, plus a third Fatebringer. The Praetarian...
Liam - to down Crota you really need to use a rocket launcher not a primary auto rifle! You won't do enough damage per second (DPS) that way - even at level 32. Best ones in the game are Gjallahorn (exotic, probably most OP gun in the game), Hunger of Crota (legendary, which ironically you only...
