Well I've waited to the last week because I haven't been playing Destiny lately, but it looks like I have to kill Skolas this weekend or give it up.

Yeah, right now it looks like I should have plenty of time on either (or possibly both) Saturday and Sunday for a Skolas run.

For the cypher bounties, do you still get rewards from killing the same boss multiple times?

For the cypher bounties, do you still get rewards from killing the same boss multiple times? Yes. Also the boss from the level 28 will give you points, if you want to work on it and no one else is on.

Though it might not matter due to exotic bounties auto completing with the 2.0 update...right?
So...Brad, Marko and/or Mannon, what time you guys going to be on tomorrow...I'll probably be available either early afternoon or evening CST.

I'm game... Dunno if I can effectively lead (I think i can remember what to do and when to do it) but I'll help out whomever needs it.

Having a major case of Destiny lethargy and apathy... I wanted to go get Skolas done and Hawk was on, but I just... didn't... I know my time is limited, but I'm just not looking forward to the fight. heh It feels more like work, like I'm forcing myself to do it.
Although I did have fun last night doing the NF and stuff. I think that's the part of Destiny I actually really like. Just get on and hang out with friends while doing some generic activity that benefits you in some general way. This high level gotta get focused and tryhard stuff can be really cool, but it's not where I'm at with this game anymore. It's odd. Last time I took a break just made me hungry to play, but this time not so. I play a little minecraft here and there and get a MUCH bigger sense of accomplishment. I don't really feel like I'm accomplishing anything in Destiny anymore, even if I do get some new piece of gear or weapon I didn't have. I just kinda shrug and toss it in the vault with all the other junk I don't have time to level up.
Maybe TK's changes will revitalize the game enough to bring me back, but I can't honestly see myself through to put down $40 or $60, (I've only seen $60 in the PSN store) for it when I could get Black Ops 3 or Battlefield and have a whole fresh new game for that, especially since money is kinda tight.
Part of me feels like it's all or nothing too, though. Like there's no point jumping into year 2 late, missing out on prepurchase stuff and several weeks if not months of play only to have a reduced time to play that phase of the game before Destiny 2 comes out and makes it obsolete... And then there will be year 2 DLC's which means more money, but then again if I wait to play until the second DLC comes out the first one will be pretty pointless the way TDB is now...
Anyway... I'm not saying I'm done with Destiny. But, I might be getting close... We'll see.

I'm not saying I'm done with Destiny. But, I might be getting close... We'll see. I can totally understand what you are saying. I think iw5000 is in the same boat (although his is much "bigger" than yours ): there are some elements of Destiny that are fun to play, but don't feel like getting dragged into the whole thing, committing money and time and as a result kinda forced into having to do stuff that are not as fun. It is a big dilemma. I would recommend the following: 1) Do play the new experience next week and see what it looks like, before TTK drops; 2) Do NOT pick up TTK at launch (since looks like you are kinda burned out). Because if you spend that money, you'll feel obligated to play, and that's a not good feeling when you are a bit tired of the game; 3) Pick up some other games to play instead for the next a few months. Lots of cool games are on the way, BO3 in particular is a solid game for Titanfall fans (which you enjoy), Battlefront looks intriguing (not my kind of game but if you enjoy Battlefield you'll like this one), MGSV and Fallout 4 look like great solo experience that you can play completely at your own pace, etc. 3 months / 6 months / 9 months later: you'll be able to pick up TTK (and whatever DLC if there are any) at a much discounted price. Even if you let Destiny go until next September, I am sure that you'll be able to pick up Destiny 2 (Year 3) without having to worry too much about Year 2 content, because Bungie most likely will again go out their way to attract new players into Destiny.

I had the same. I had everything I wanted already levelled to the max. The only thing unwanted was to twat skolas. Once done it got even worse. What's left? Wait for it. PVP! I'm shit at it. I've barely played it since launch. Last night, three of us did it. Apart from one round where we were truly outclassed, it was a blast. Refreshing. Looking forward to trying again tonight. I didn't worry too much about my gear. Took a thorn, red death, a shottie with 'shot package' and a heavy machine gun. Just ran around, shottie in corridors, red death/thorn for range. Did ok. 'Quite interested in getting the right set up now. If anyone's on and wants to team up let me and dm know.

Scolas is actually a really good fight, it is loads of fun if you ask me. You do have to have your shit together, but it is a nice challenge. Esp with everybody and their moms having ghally's, it should be easy challenging but doable. I really don't understand all the criticism om the fight. This is what players have been asking for, a boss fight which is not purely a bullet sponge, and has lots of mechanics. The rounds leading up to it do take a little long though, without checkpoints, but if you have your shit together, you will manage. It is also a great way to get into the flow. Be sure to have a shotgun ready for those fallen captains though. Good luck, you can do it! mannon, I think you really need a break. You are not playing for gear, and picking up old DLC content you don't have, is far from redundant. You get to have fun in them, and that is what it is all about. I love me a VoG or Crota from time to time, as it is simply great fun, even though I need absolutely nothing from the rewards. Although, just like Tooros, I am really focused om the PvP lately, as my skills since COD ghosts have dropped allot, I am getting back in there.

Alright guys, my group now has the raid down to a science, it's time for you guys to do it. It looked like a bunch of you are already at or near 290, so if you have a high impact sniper, you're good to go. Toss out some days/times that work for you and we'll get it done.

Post by snes chalmers on Sept 24, 2015 22:47:23 GMT -5
I'm on the verge of 290 on my Hunter, but I'll definitely need to get some better gear (more 285+ armor and a 290+ 1000 yard stare or something as good)...so it might be a week or so before I feel I'm raid-ready.

I'm pretty close to being raid ready on my Hunter, got a high impact sniper, but I feel I still need a better heavy MG though (and maybe higher defense on my gauntlets).
My Titan and Warlock aren't too far behind...though I would need a sniper and a high attack Heavy MG for those two.
