Tried to get it now but ut didn't work Killed Phogoth slow, waited for all 3 ships, killed everything, no xyor or whatever the special wizard is called. I'm doing on this week's level 26 weekly like the internet says I have to... What am I doing wrong? I think that you need to open the moon map and pick the strike from there. That's the only way to get this special edition strike. Also, get a friend to help you because Xyor is a pain in the ass to deal with solo. Ah!!!!!!!!! Gotcha!!!!! I thought I had to do it before the weekly reset.

Just hide behind that rock in Phogoth's chamber. Xyor is easy, it's hanging on with all the adds whilst waiting for Xyor to show up.

God dammit this was a helluvalot harder without small arms... The difference between this and the weekly is night and day.
Wiped at Phogoth on the 2nd hive ship. And by wiped, I really mean hive gangbanged. 3 boomers plus a wizard plus thrall plus Phogoth all swarmed me at once.
I'll wait for help tonight

Got to the Lighthouse a few minutes ago (technically yesterday I guess). Got help from two Reddit Sherpas and apparently I wasn't being carried even though they were pushing mentally hard. I managed to change the likely loss of some rounds into wins with some clutch revives and gun kills though.

What Witty said... Go to it from moon, not weekly. Be ready to kill adds for a while and you have to get Phogo's health down, but don't kill him until your wizard pops... and dies.

Weird. There was no teabagging from any of the opposition and we got a 'gg' from one of the opponents in the stream.

Bungie's live stream on Twitch went offline before it was officially starting. Looks like they got the Weasel error code!

Speaking of Bungie, why on Earth did they get rid of the 20 headshot kills with primary weapons bounty? So what if it doesn't work with the Vex and Universal Remote. It's not like they take away the 10 Fallen Major bounties because major shanks do no count towards that bounty.

?
I've never seen that bounty? PVP or PVE?
Of the top of my head, their rationale might be that it's just too fuggin easy?

No. The 20 headshot kills using primary weapons replaced the 20 headshot kills using an assault rifle for Iron Banner. Bungie made it to any primary because it helped people spam the Suros Regime as it was the best weapon to get the bounty done. Ironic then that they leave the Postmortem kills untounched for the normal Crucible bounty as the best weapon for that is Thorn. Bungie stated in their weekly update it was because the Vex and UR did not get their headshots counting but then there are plenty of other stuff that doesn't count. Plus, very few people will use those weapons anyway because they're garbage.

I don't think I've seen it being used in PvP since it was re-nerfed unless someone is doing the 15 kills with a fusion rifle bounty but that's about it. Thorn beats Supers to Postmortem kills contributing to its heavy usage is my point.

Oh I re-earned Arctic Proxy yesterday. Apparently it's fairly well sought after.

Well it finally happened. Hawk and Marko sherpa'd me through Skolas so I could become legend! Yay. It took some doing too! We were literally on the last run before I was going to giveup. Have work today... I had already called it. Somehow we kept from wiping long enough to finally burn him down. Hawk must be saving up lots of karma for a rainy day.
Thanks guys!

Mannon... that was a fuggin epic run... let's just look at what happened
- not one, but 2 perfect, 1 in 1000 arc psion blasts that killed both of us in 1 shot - one perfect, 1 in 1,000,000 psion blast that wiped us all in one shot - Hawk getting kicked to orbit with no error code - my controller doing squirrely things (not shooting when buttons pushed, spinning around, jumping for no reason) - you having to leave to get more HASynths - us both popping our radiance to save a wipe, wiping despite it saying a 1 on the screen, and us both losing our supers - Skolas acting a human shield (well, a Fallen Shield, but I digress) to screen the 4 snipers that were wrecking us - dem damn mines with Skolas
and the piece d' resistance... the creme de la creme of last night:
- when we did kill Skolas, we come within mere seconds of wiping on the last set of uncontested mines.
The panicked bluntness of "Please take the shortest direct path to the mine" in Hawk's voice was epic... even more epic that Hawk said please too. Honestly, when I missed that jump, I was expected us to fail and me to whip my controller across the room. But that fuggin relief of when the 2nd one popped up right away... wow... so fuggin happy.
This is why I love Prison of Elders... everyone has to get their shit together and work together. Sure, you can carry deadweight in the 28 or 32... but fuck no on the 34/35. It's not like CE where someone who has no clue what they're doing, can just stand on the door frame and be carried and get nice gear. It's not like VoG where 3 people can run it and carry the other 3. In a PoE 35, everyone has to have their shit together, communicate effectively, work as a team and coordinate to do what needs to be done. It took them a year, but Bungie finally got it right. I mean, yea, there are some videos of people soloing a 35... but not nearly to the degree of what was done in the past. I really really really hope that this type of coordination is what we see in year 2 or at least bits of it... it'll be really interesting to see how we do with 6 people having to get their shit together as opposed to 3.
Anywho... take a break from the game and come back ready to go... we got my BiL up super quick and if you decide that TTK is for you, you'll have your Band of PSNGuardiBros ready to catch you up. We'll dual Palpatine shit left right and centre on an arc burn nightfall

Got on to check the new stuff only to find, (like everybody else) that the patch did not dowload while the PS4 was in rest mode and it was slow as dirt... not really using much of my bandwidth.
Upshot was I got on voice with Marko & co and we dabbled at some Rocket League. It was surprisingly easy to learn how to play, though we were clearly stil noobs. It was hella fun though. I'm hoping some of us can do some more of that!

Rocket League is hard as hell! I gave up after 10 games, only hitting the ball like twice a game... I don't know, racing was never my thing on consoles, but this stuff. blegh, it is hard. Looks really fun though. Combine my sucky racing skills with my lack of close range gunskills and you can see how good I am at this game.... (I always get confused if people get too close and it becomes a jump fest)
More props to you I guess, and congratz with your triumph

Yea... last night, I was pissed off... here I am ready to go, and the fuggin thing didn't download... hell, I left it on all night, and when I checked on it this morning at 6:30 am, it had finished installing an hour before hand.
RL... meh, it seems like a good game to play while drunk. I was driving on the ceiling and wall for 90% of the game as I just couldn't get the view controls correct.
But tonight: it's Palpatining time!!!
