Instead of using the same thread all the time, it might be cool to have a dedicated thread the strike each week. In this thread, we can discuss strategy, cheese spots, weapons to use, and most importantly... brag about the gjallies and hawkmoon that will drop like a drunken prom dates clothing. Anywho... wings was right... This week, it's time to get out the lemon juice and squirt the big ol' eyeball Sepiks Prime right in the blinker. To help us this week, the benevolent sadodictators have kindly allowed our arc weapons to hurt out foes more. However, the Darkness too has abilities, the usual Epic, Nightfall, Lightswitch, and Angry.

Although my arsenal is not the greatest, this is what I will be bringing to the fight
Primary: Oversoul Edict will be my weapon of choice here, given the pulse rifle buff and the arc burn it will bring
Special: Patience and Time (exotic arc sniper) Icebreaker (passive ammo regen for inventory, ammo regen for doing fun stuff like shooting the blue cannon off the tank) Light of the Abyss (arc fusion rifle)
Heavy: Against All Odds (arc machine gun... when you absolutely, positively have to kill every last mother f%%ker in the room. The best there is. Accept no substitutes) Unfriendly Giant (arc rocket launcher... meh... if I have to break this out, $hit's got real...real bad)

This too isn't a bad spot, but the video is old
The only issue I have with it is when the ships come. As I found out against the Archon priests, those ships do arc damage when they shoot at you... that will probably one shot you if you get hit up there.

Datto's video soloing it from back from november 2014, pre crota.
EDIT: one thing that I really like, and will probably be my downfall in this raid is what Datto says around 2:55ish... you can't be lax in this raid. We've done it so much, for fun or for bounties, and it's borderline rote memory now. But we're not 1 shotting level 8 dregs this time. So standing there and treating this raid like it's a normal, level 8 strike will be the hardest part, imho.

I'm almost tempted to bring out my freshly acquired Necrochasm for this, but...no. Fatebringer/Oversoul Edict, Murmur, and Thunderlord should do nicely.

May I ask why no Patience and Time as the exotic in your lineup hebbnh? Is it because you want to use your Thunderlord by personal preference, or is it superior? I don't have it, so I'm curious EDIT: I do like the addition of Murmur, to switch between arc and solar (primarily for the shanks)... hadn't thought about that

Never used it, so it got sharded for inventory space. Kind of wish I still had one now, but oh well. Thunderlord is the bomb, yo!

Witty, THebb, and I all got it from our two Crota kills last night. We invited you like 6 times...guess you were AFK?

Fvck, that sucks.
I saw you (or your brother on) around 7pm ET? Can't remember exactly. I was waiting for a while for you guys, messing around doing boring shit like bounties. I think around 9 or so, maybe after, I just got tired of doing that stuff and started reading a book. I dozed off not long after. :-( That's when I probably missed it. Should have had someone text me.
I'm doing a grappling tournament this weekend in Columbus Ohio (ArnoldFestival). The past few weeks, I've been going to the gym most days after work, plus now trying to cut some weight for this weekend. I'm just flat out tired by the time 9pm rolls around these days, just feeling drained. If I'm not actively doing something with people on Destiny, grouped up...I'm going to fall asleep going solo.

Any PS4ers interested tonight?
I want to do 2 weeklies (1 with Senior and 1 with Junior... to get 18 coins for the first time... much excite such wow) and 1 nightfall for Junior to get those class abilities up 25% faster. So I'm in at least for 3 runs. But I'm down to help whomever needs it.
Plus, since the RNGebbuz sold a shotgun after the buff, I feel a pulse rifle will be sold. And since there's only 2 and 1 you gotta do a bounty for... Red Death c'mon down!!!!

Myself and Tooros should be on about 10:30 GMT (17:30 ET) for about 90 mins On the weekend perhaps... your 10:30 is my 4:30 and that's when I get home from work and give my wife a break from her home daycare and give her some adult conversation and a break from 6 4/5 year old girls and our 18mth son. But I'd love to game with you two sometime for sure

we normally have to leave just as the USA is coming online and so miss most of the fun.

I used the opportunity of Crux of Crota to turn my Warlock into infinite heavy ammo glitch (have Eidlon Ally and Ice Breaker equipped when using the Crux, so the game decides to "punish" me by removing my equipped primary weapon), will play with this configuration for a while until I am tired of it. What does this mean? I can switch between an Arc MG and Arc RL as my "primary" weapon, since they now have infinite heavy ammo. MG for rushers, RL for bosses, IB for ammo I will just need to be careful to not step onto any engram's on the ground and accidentally pick up a primary.

This game and all it's 'cheesing' is simply exhausting.

I would hesitate to combine the terms "cheesing" and "glitching" or "exploiting"

I would hesitate to combine the terms "cheesing" and "glitching" or "exploiting" I wouldn't. It's all pretty much the same in Destiny. At this point in the game, it's so interwoven into this game, people don't even realize just how much it's going on.

At this point in the game, it's so interwoven into this game, people don't even realize just how much it's going on. I consider cheesing to be a location or a strategy that avoids damage... being on cliffs, under cover, high up, low down, shooting between cover... places that you can still get hurt if not careful, but places where you are out of the danger zone. The most recent example.. the Valus spot up top... you can still get hurt/killed by rocket splash or his machine gun but not as easily Glitching/Exploits... emptying your ammo and then shooting ammo to get multiple multiple multiples of it. Or jumping through gates on a sparrow to get at the first VoG chest solo. Stuff like that. IMHO, that's not cool

but no one really cares about the whole 'not cool' anymore with Destiny. Glitching and exploiting is openly embraced and celebrated on this game. I think because of the time demands, no one gives a flying fvck anymore.

I'll do the heavy ammo glitch every time possible in Crota. Why not? If I don't, I then have to spend time replenishing my heavy ammo packs I synthesized. No way. Not going to do that. Destiny has me already at way to many hours. I'll glitch it. Even Witty up there, doing the gun glitch thing to work. I don't blame him.

If Bungie hadn't taken 6 Foxtroting months to fix the heavy ammo bug, there's a good chance the heavy ammo "glitch" wouldn't be so popular. It's ok though -- I'm sure they'll find a way to fix the glitch much more quickly than the bug since it's actually helping players. Until then, I'll be using it as often as I can while saving up my synths for the ammo glitch-less future!

Actually, that makes me wonder...would you consider these cool or not cool? Obviously some of these no longer exist.
1. Crota Abyss lamp launch 2. Crota Abyss rock jump 3. Crota Bridge "sword fly" across the gap instead of building the bridge to cross 4. Strike boss cheese spots (they're all different takes on the same thing, no reason to list individually) 5. AOE grenades to push Templar/Atheon off the map 6. Shooting Oracles from up top against Templar 7. Crota Bridge jumping to the top of the map to snipe across the gap 8. Shooting ammo boxes multiple times with a "shoot to loot" weapon 9. Purposefully dumping all ammo, then killing with Icebreaker to force heavy ammo to drop 10. Disconnecting vs Crota to keep him kneeling at all times
