Next time I will use my heavy ammo synthesis and fill his ass full of rockets.
If I get to play tonight maybe we should do the Nightfall. Looks like it's just Devil's lair and it's arc burn. Though I really want those coins it'd be nice to actually do a nightfall and get that XP buff too and we've got a week to try the new weekly.
Or we could just plow through a daily to make us feel better about ourselves. ;3 (Assuming I have any time to play, which honestly might not be tonight. I prolly owe my GF a night of Borderlands 2 for putting up with me through that last night. heh)
Getting to sleep was definitely not easy. I feel even more strongly that I need coins now. I MUST have better weapons!

Keep your solar and arc weapons ready (witches and captains/ vandals).... and don't make the mistake of tactical loitering it the hallway on the last bit.... that spawns the captain and some vandals.

Next time I will use my heavy ammo synthesis and fill his ass full of rockets. Would that have worked though? He just kept on hiding down behind that corner. I thought about using my new Unfriendly giant... but decided against it because it was such CQC that if I were to use a rocket, I'd damage myself with the area damage and he'd shotgun me. Honestly, a better strategy might have been to rocket the sniper and the servitor that was bombing us from long distance. Then one of us move out to that pillar to draw his fire then the other to hit him from behind. It might result in a few more deaths, but TBH, it might be what we needed. Looking back on it, we did play a bit too conservative. I haven't researched it, but I'm convinced the arrival of those two captains and stealth vandals were time based. If I get to play tonight maybe we should do the Nightfall. Looks like it's just Devil's lair and it's arc burn. Though I really want those coins it'd be nice to actually do a nightfall and get that XP buff too and we've got a week to try the new weekly. It's Devil's Layer, according to Reddit... it'd be nice to play that strike with actual fear that I'll get hurt, or if I die, it won't be because of my own stupidity. But that mesh layer wave part might be nutzo. I made it to round 2 before I wiped (but I also had poorer weapons) Or we could just plow through a daily to make us feel better about ourselves. ;3 (Assuming I have any time to play, which honestly might not be tonight. I prolly owe my GF a night of Borderlands 2 for putting up with me through that last night. heh) Getting to sleep was definitely not easy. I feel even more strongly that I need coins now. I MUST have better weapons! I'm good for tonight and wednesday... thursday's dodgy because I have Parent Teacher conferences so I might be a zombie by the end of that. Just find me and tell me whatcha wanna do.

Yeah that's why I want to be aggressive with him and hit him with rockets just to do as much damage as possible as quickly as possible. I think if we take him down quickly enough we will only have to deal with the servitor and the flying bots.
Yeah the three waves of Fallen and Hive will probably require good defensive positions, and the walker might be a long grind.

the walker is not as hard as you may think. Arc sniper targeting his feet and some spare ammo should do the trick.

If you dont already know: there is a cheese spot on which you can snipe the walker without any fear of getting killed: the pipe to your right as soon as you get out of the building and can see the walker.
You won't be able to see Walker's health from that far, but that is not a problem because you will be hitting its legs and you'll know when the legs blow up. Take care of all 4 legs and you are pretty much done.

Unless I misunderstand, we let the Hive and the Fallen take care of one another then when we get to the walker, we either go down or we go to the farthest building behind the blast shields and for the Eyeball... we go to the back

Actually Mannon, I watched the Datto youtube vid about how he he solo'd it... very conservative and very much our playing style (running/hiding/sniping)

lol Okay. If I got time tonight to play you can run the show and we'll knock it out. I may not get to, though. RL stuff... So you may want to just solo if it starts getting too late. If I can't do it tonight I may not bother with it as the exp buff only lasts until the Tuesday reset, so if my time it too limited may go for weekly for coins instead, or even try to hit IB this weekend with the 1 mote rep buff. If I could get any level 30 items from IB that would be huge.

Yeah my Destiny time is devolving this week. I may wind up skipping PvE this week and just go for IB later in the week when the buff is even higher than it is now. Either that or try to get some coins from the weekly, though I'm a little gunshy about going for it at level 28 now. My play time this weekend may be limited as I should have the PS4 GTAV come Friday and I'm really excited to be picking that up. I loved it on PS3 but just never fully got into it so I traded it in for the upgrade. I'm sure I'll be playing lots of GTA this weekend.

What did Polo Do Last Night?
So glad you asked.
After watching the above video that I posted, I was inspired to try to solo the Devils Lair. I watched it 3 or 4 times, and got the gist of the spots. I play quite conservative, so I thought things would go well. But as a warm up, I'd do the Cosmodrome daily on level 28 to get the juiced flowing. This is a level that Mannon and I did together first and I know it like the back of my hand, so it's be a good warm up.
Then Polo learned a valuable lesson: when watching Youtube videos, make sure you take note of their layout, not just the damage used.
Datto has uber weapons that are maxed to the teets.... I do not. So, while Datto was 1 shotting level 28 dregs and thralls... I was 2/3/4 shotting them. 1 on 1, not too bad... but when a thrall wave hits and your super or grenade isn't ready to go... well, I died. I ended up dropping Shadow Price for the thralls and went with the Super Pox (spl?) because it shoots quicker and I have 3rd eye leveled up to it so it allows me to know if a wave was coming and prepare.
So I didn't do the weekly strike. My weapons just aren't good enough for it to solo. I did get 2 shards for the daily and was able to finally max out my armour so I am now level 28!
But I before I start soloing levels at level, I at least have to get my Shadow Price (and Super Pox) maxed out before I start doing things at level. Oh, and I need a legendary sniper rifle... because at level, the greens and blues don't cut it or if they do cut it, they'll gum it to death.

Sorry you had a tough time, buddy. I hear you on the weapons. I still feel seriously underpowered there even though I'm able to fight level 28's without a damage penalty. Maybe I could finagle enough time for a run at Devil's Lair tonight or tomorrow. Think you said tonight prolly bad for you.
I'm split on whether to go in at level 26 or 28. On the one hand 28 might be hard and if we fail I'll get no coins again this week. On the other hand it's just Devil's Lair and if we do manage to do it on 26 I won't have enough time to go back at level 28 for the 3 extra coins. I think I only got one shot at it this week. I'll have to watch the vid and note the appropriate spots. I think we could manage, it might be a long haul, though. I had hoped we'd knock out the weekly quickly last week since I on my second run the day before I was able to get to the end area pretty fast, but it proved more difficult, and the end it-self was a massive, soul draining, grind. (Though the last time when we just fought it out was pretty intense and fun until we wiped.)

You can do level 22 and level 26 aftwrwards for the full 9 coins. Nightfall got harder solo as it took me longer than usual and that was takingn into acount the arc burn modifier.

A few comments:
1) While I was at the lower levels, I do the sure thing first, then go for the stretch. For example, when I was at level 27, I would play the level 26 strike first to get that 6 coins, and if I have time later and/or need the 3 extra coins, I'll attempt level 28. I would suggest similar approach if you are under powered on weapons;
2) I can't stress this enough: play multiple characters! While getting level 28 weekly done on 1 character is tough, getting 3 level 26 weekly done are a breeze. Latter will give you 18 coins, enough to buy the exotic weapon of the week. Do this for 2 or 3 weeks and you will no longer have weapon problems;
3) For solo, the most important weapon in my arsenal is Ice Breaker. I use it to generate ammo for my other special weapons, so I don't have to ever wander out of my "home base" (i.e.: the spot of safety) too far. If you don't have this weapon, I suggest buying special ammo packs. Each only only costs 250 glimmer and they can be quite useful when you are desperately short on ammo in the middle of completing a stretch;
4) After watching the walk through video and/or failed for a couple of times: you should memorize the enemy spawn orders and plan accordingly. For example: thralls should never be a problem for you if you know exactly when and where they appear. Just run back to your home base when that happens, they won't rush you and you can have all the time you need to take them down;

That being said, 1) we've both done the raid so many times that we'll make it happen. 2) we'll be motivated after last time's wipe, and 3) watch the vid.. it's literally us, minus the awesome weapons. I'll load up on some more ammo packs, and we'll nail the eyebawl. 4) we'll be a bit more aggressive, but we won't be stupid. It'll work

1) I'm not sure I have time for more than even one run at this, that is why I'm tempted to go strait for level 28 and get it all done in one go. If I do it at level 26 then unless I'm able to blow it out in about 20 minutes I probably won't have time to try the much harder and slower level 28 run. Having said that I'm still too butthurt about losing out on last week's coins and don't want to risk it. Plus, I think we may actually be able to blow through it under half an hour at least so maybe there's hope for giving 28 a run after the 26 run. I'm thinking of going for the sure thing on level 26 then if the level 28 thing pans out good, if not, oh well it's only another 3 coins. Last week we only went for the 9 coins and wound up with zero for our efforts. If I hadn't been lulled into thinking we could hack it due to my previous day's performance and our success with the weekly raid on Mars before, I wouldn't have risked it. In fact I'm thinking until better weapons are had I will probably not go for 28 on any weekly srikes I haven't previously done as a weekly strike.
2) I have multiple characters, but don't really have the time to play them. Not even just to get gold on an event on each one, which is actually far less of a priority for me right now since I'm more interested in coins and motes of light at the moment. When there's a bit more time, we'll see.
3) Ice Breaker sounds nice. I'll have to keep working on coins and marks when I have time for them so I can buy new weapons someday. Maybe if I play IB this weekend I can finish my exotic bounty and open that up for getting a new one at some point.
4) I like to go into missions new to me fairly blind. In fact I originally didn't want to play any strikes or missions I hadn't played through doing the campaign, but I just got way too behind and really needed to start hitting weekly and daily missions so I gave up on that. Maybe at some point I'll just grind through the story missions on level 20 to 24 difficulty to keep them easy but somewhat interesting and blow through them in a weekend or something. As for Thralls I used to despise them, but I've come to really enjoy kealling them in their crunchy skulls. Oddly enough I think hand cannon works quite well for Thralls, even if they are fairly tough headshots usually put them down with a HC. Having one that reloads faster after a precision kill means you can blast them in waves and choose when to reload towards the end of your mag then keep going.
I've become quite adept at a little Thrall dance where I beckpedal, steadily pumping as many headshots as possible into them. If I have to I can switch to shotgun or fusion rifle for a few handfuls of them, melee when they get close then I jump and glide away while reloading in the air and try to come down either far enough away that they retreat or on top of something high. If I can't retreat to safety then I melee from the air just as I'm landing, then go for a couple headshots and mebbe another melee and jump again. If they are really thick I toss in grenades. If you know that you're going to need a grenade, it's best to use it early and start that recharge sooner, BTW. Unless you're luring them to a choke point for it. Choke points and AoE grenades are fuggin redonkeydick for Thralls. Even if they are smart enough not to charge into the AoE they'll wait and let you shoot them through it or give you time to reload while they find a way around. If they aren't overwhelming but more of a steady stream you don't even have to jump away. Just time your reloads and juke a bit, tossing in melee attacks on singles and pairs to save ammo and to cancel out of reload animations. Scout rifle are also quite good for Thralls as long as you can 1HK with headshots, especially if you get some range on 'em. I don't recommend sniper unless you can line them up. Auto rifle is okay too. In fact if they really bunch up then holding down the trigger until the aim maxes out the vertical recoil and leveling that off at their head level can destroy a pretty huge pack in one mag. I find it more difficult to manage the recoil for AR's for enemies that only require a few headshots to kill, though and prefer semi auto 1HK's mixed with defensive play, but sometimes offense is the best defense.
Marko if you want some practice on Thrall go pickup all the muiltikill bounties you can Fusion Rifle/Super and head out to the first mission on the moon on say 22 difficulty to start. Just blow through the mission until you get to the dead guardian then practice killing the Thrall that rush out of the gate. I recently ground out both bounties there at level 24 difficulty using hand cannon and fusion rifle. Here's what worked for me. "We've woken the Hive!" As soon as that starts go up the steps strait to the door and once it's open jump/glide up and nail them with your super right in the doorway. This kills a bunch and the AoE holds them back for a bit and it gives you maximum opportunity to recharge it by doing it first. While you have time run back where you came from and there is a choke point between some rocks. Get there, turn around and be ready to fusion rifle/head shot tons and tons of Thrall as fast as you reliably can. Don't panic. Shoot fast, but sure. It's not worth missing shots here. When you can't hold them back anymore or run out of ammo or whatever wait until they are almost in your face then toss an AoE grenade into them right in the gap between the rocks. It should kill a handfull and block the entire gap. On your left the rock forms a half arch to the cliff wall with a hole through it. Reload and strafe to the left. The Thrall take a moment to decide they can go through there, which gives you time to reload. Now you can massacre them as they try to come at you through the gap in single file. If you have to reload or can't take them all you can jump/glide away backwards up the hill a couple of times until they back off a bit then clean up, just watch out for the Knight. I was able to get this down to the point that I killed off the last Thrall at that arch and didn't have to back off. I would then go hunt down all the lesser red guys that shoot at you from cover to finish recharging my super, pickup ammo, do NOT kill the Knight, and restart the checkpoint via death. Just a few times through is enough to finish off the fusion rifle bounty. The super is doable in exactly 20 because I was only able to recharge my super once per and there aren't really enough enemies at the end to get guaranteed multikills with it. This is also quite good for precision kill bounties, but obviously not great for ones that require X amount of Y without dying. You could start it on any difficulty you can handle and work your way up. Great way to learn to dance with Thrall which have gone from my least to my most favorite enemy, because I just love getting those crunchy, delicious headshots.

Now that the DPE counter is on, and I took the time to do some valuable maintenance, the VMFC (Vanguard Marks Farming Combine) is raring to go.
So whatever you want to do is fine with me.

It's time for your favourite morning segment kids: what did Polo do last night?!!?!?! Lowlight o' the Night: Last night was all about the farming, or the lack there of. The timer on destinypublicevents wasn't as reliable as I thought it would be so I was racing to locations only to find that I had missed it or that it didn't pop. And the mothyards and forgotten coast seem to have an excess of targets, because that was what was most often happening there. Annoying. The devil walker in the steppes popped consistently, but he seems to bring more friends than normal, so it wasn't as easy for me to solo as it was in the past. The highlight o' the night: first kill, purple candy which popped a new scout rifle for me... the cryptic dragon which I enjoyed using and once my shadow price and super pox level up, I can level it up. I like scout rifles so I'm not disappointed... especially from a level 1 dreg in Dock 13. Got to fulfill 6 bounties, which helped level up Shadow Price 3 circles. Got a cryptarch level and he gave me some stuff that I was able to break down and get some shards... which helped level up my helmet some more... I'm now 28 and a bit, rather than 28 and a sliver. Tiring (one of the bounties was the kill 3 or more with a super 20X which I solo'd and it took longer than expected) but I got it done

Unless you are upgrading your exotic piece you probably shouldn't use any more shards on your legendary gear. I don't think you can really upgrade them enough to get to level 29 without any raid/IB armor. So really the way for us to progress further armorwise is to replace our legendaries and acquire more exotics to mix and match.
More BL2 with the GF last night. Tonight I've got to go shopping, but I intend to put in some Destiny time if I have to stay up all night to do it. So I'll prolly see you on sometime late. Sadly I would love that scout rifle Xur has, but I'm nowhere near having the coins. This late in the game I don't know if Nightfall is a priority for us since the XP buff will reset Tuesday, but maybe we could knock it out then go for a weekly at level 26 difficulty. If we have time for that. Who knows...
Hope you have more luck with the farming. I need to get back to farming soon. My shards are low, and I need marks. (Though I don't need more shards until I get another exotic or some raid gear and right now I care more about weapons.)

If you have the ability to complete Nightfall, you should by all means do it. It can drop great stuff: exotic weapons, armor armors, 8+ coins, 7+ AS/AEs, etc. All very useful.
If it's tough on the other hand, maybe you should use the limited play time for easier weekly.

Never done nightfall, what is it? What?! I thought you guys have already attempted it a few times. Nightfall is level 28 weekly on steroids. 5 heroic modifiers instead of 2, easy to dispatch minions may become mini bosses with shields, and worst of all, deaths of all team members will reset the entire fire team back to Orbit. In return, you are rewarded with random loots of varied awesomeness: 1) Exotic weapon; 2) Exotic armor piece; 3) 8+ coins / 7+ shards / 7+ energy; What I have gotten: Exotic weapons: Patience & Time x2, Thunderlord Exotic armors: 3 different pieces Least/most coins I got: 8/9 Least/most Ascendant materials I got: 7/11 Too bad you guys are on PS4 . If you are on XONE, we can carry you guys to easy completion (e.g.: you can just join at the end of my run) and get the goodies.

Still unlikely at the moment. Not so much about the money, but more about limited playing time. I can barely keep up with Destiny, and I want to spend more time with AW and Halo MCC. GTA 5 and TLOU are great games, but I lack the patience of playing stuff solo. If I don't have much time to play it, I might as well wait until next year when the price will be inevitably even lower. Even if I do buy an PS4: I don't have the stomach to level up Destiny characters from scratch again . Even if I do, you would have to carry me instead of me carrying you...

And there'd be the PS4 exclusive weapons you could get too!
