Destiny V2: The Taken King Released!

[DoomsDayDan]

So Fear's Embrace isn't possible to solo, right? Every single thing about it seems so [I]perfectly[/I] crafted to fuck you

[Bathtub]

its hard as fuck but i managed to pull it off after 6 deaths

[editline]20th September 2015[/editline]

its all about your positioning, never sit under the weird jet engine things

also always destroy the big black balls and kill the psions first

[Del91]

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;48726933]Regular attacks cost 1 ammo, air heavy attacks cost 2, blocking costs ammo over time and blocks melee attacks 100% at the cost of ammo[/QUOTE]

You can block rockets too. :v:

[Bathtub]

mastering the sword in pvp makes for an extremely obnoxious experience

[editline]20th September 2015[/editline]

and i love it

[AcidAmbience]

[QUOTE=Bathtub;48726277]its amazing on hunter but with stuff like titan and warlock without blink it can be really difficult[/QUOTE]

Nah. I don't even use blink, I just go at them.

[Fish Poke]

I found a dumb little glitch. If you're crouched and move super slow and start rotating the camera, no animation plays.

You don't need to crouch either. I've known about this for ages.
It's fun to stand up and slide into a group of people in the tower. You can turn the cam around and you can slide backwards. :v:

[Qaus]

I did a lot of testing with that, apparently it doesn't show up the same way on the other end. Instead people just see your legs spazzing out in a half walk, half run.

goddamnit

I have one taken champion left to kill but he lives in the redneck backwater part of the cosmodrone nobody ever goes to, and between the shitzillion captains spamming their blindness globe/planet and him turning literally everything on fire I can't kill him before the corruption times out

[King]

[QUOTE=Del91;48726723]Don't waste your legendary marks on vendor gear. I bought a chest piece and I got something better within an hour. Now my worst piece of gear is better than anything the vendors sell. Save your marks for exotics or cryptarch engrams[/QUOTE]

If the Vendor Gear looks good, has nice perks and good stats (Int+Disc) then buy it and infuse other gear into it.
Less luck needed to find good stats then.

I know exactly which one you're talking about. The best spot I've found is on top of the shed, on the hive side. Just where the beacon usually spawns.

I went into classic 6v6, Voidwalker with full agility with blink and just pommel slapped newbies all day

You monster.

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;48729953]You monster.[/QUOTE]

Fuck that quest and fuck the next one too, the scary part is on one map i actually did fairly well.

Also, you need to improve your light level before those high ranking blues will drop for you. Vanguard gear is a very important stepping stone while getting to 290+ light.

[King]

[QUOTE=Bathtub;48730229]Also, you need to improve your light level before those high ranking blues will drop for you. Vanguard gear is a very important stepping stone while getting to 290+ light.[/QUOTE]

I did it without buying Vanguard gear.
I'm currently 293 and I just used my highest light gear when opening engrams.

[Del91]

I was taking some friends through court of oryx for their first time on the level 1 rune and got a 295 pulse rifle and a 298 class item. :v:

[kylel999]

So at first I thought the cap was 250. Then 280. Wtf is the light cap now

[Bathtub]

the highest value for anything ive seen so far is 310 for the Touch of Malice

[AcidAmbience]

I soloed him, just find a spot to hide

[elevator13]

[QUOTE=Kylel999;48730366]So at first I thought the cap was 250. Then 280. Wtf is the light cap now[/QUOTE]

310 I believe

[willothewisp]

At work now and absolutely shattered because I done a heroic strike at 11:30pm thinking it would only take an hour despite my light level being 20 lower than the recommended level

Took nearly 3 fuckin hours

[GoogleyGareth]

Jesus Christ dude.

I stayed up till 2am for the raid and we didn't even finish. Had to do an essay for the next day which brought me to around half past 3. Now I'm at college with only 3 hours sleep.

By the laws of this land we are now brothers

But yeah, I've been told the raid is long, I can't wait!

[Mellowbloom]

remind me why people who leave strikes aren't replaced and penalised

[CrossNgen]

So where the hell is this guy?

[Taggart]

Presumably building multiple diecast models of Oryx somewhere in the great beyond.

My Strike legendaries luck hasn't been very good so far. First: Treads Upon Stars, nice scout rifle from Ta'aurc, that's cool. Second.... Treads Upon Stars from Ta'aurc again, except this time it's shit compared to the one I already have.

Finally, legs engram that gave me an inferior set of Pandion Type 1 legs (the legs I already have). I just want Ma'aul's Maulers god damnit, stop teasing me with engrams and scout rifles, fuck.

why does this picture make me just assume he's basically starscream

[Tricky D]

pretty sure that guy is the sword knight you have to fight in the exotic sword quest, could be wrong though

[elevator13]

I thought that was [sp]the Warpriest from the raid?[/sp]

unrelated but I didn't know about the [url=http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/enemies/books-of-sorrow]Books of Sorrow[/url] which gives the origin story/motives of the Hive, and give some context to the Traveler and why [sp]the Vex worship the Black Heart[/sp]
