No Land Beyond again? Hilarious.

 

[cilonen]

Uhh.. No Land Beyond is quite fun to use. I can see why it's not effective as a clutch weapon, but as a patrolling gun it's great fun.

 

[KxoZz]

Damn I need that synth man >_<

 

[Auto_aim1]

So No Land Beyond isn't worth the coins then? Maybe I'll just buy a shard instead

If you are low on coins or don't need it for the collection, do not buy it.

 

[GlamFM]

Seeing how Gjallahorn is mandatory now, I'm done. I won't rely on RNG to be relevant in Hard Mode, that is some shitty business practice I won't support any further. Xur selling No Land Beyond today is the final straw.

Thanks for all the people I grouped with, and the reset tuesday morning group. Have fun !

Run the sword = be useful without the horn.

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

New page. Missing two!

I can be the 6th if you'll take a lvl 31. Let me know and I'll log on.

 

[Shito]

Run the sword = be useful without the horn.

Still reliant on RNG: you have to be 32.

 

[ocean]

Me me me. Can we run it once Xur has been?

We're waiting on you at the Tower! Are you still in?

 

[Auto_aim1]

Kadey stahp.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Hahaha awesome. I need to go sleep

It's the perfect troll weapon in Crucible you'll get tea bagged for killing people with it, it's that awful.

 

[Bogeypop]

Why you such a bully, Kadey?

It is the greatest Carrot-on-a-stick they have in the game, except this week was the monkey wrench in that plan that seems to have broken a lot of vets. Many folks have quit this week out of frustration with the raid. Many will likely come back after having time to cool down, but it seems the release of the hard mode raid did more damage then good for business. If House of Wolves is just more of the same, I expect there to be a lot of attrition for whatever comes next.

I could be wrong, but I think the majority of the people who "quit" since yesterday are venting and will be back by next Tuesday's reset. When people legitimately lose interest, they tend to just stop playing the game, and no longer have any interest in posting about it. I think most of what's happened in the last day is temporary frustration.

Want to know what will REALLY make people quit? Running out of loot to strive for. The day Xur sells what everyone wants is the day that people lose interest, because the strikes/raids they've been playing over and over again will have no purpose.

The quest for seemingly unobtainable loot IS Destiny. Love it or leave it.

 

[Born2Live]

We're waiting on you at the Tower! Are you still in?

Yep let me claim this bounty then I'll join.

 

[ocean]

Need one more to start a Heroic CE Abyss+Bridge. Come get your Auto Rifles! Had a guy drop out, 5 of us are waiting at the Tower.

Add a_javierp if you're willing! Only requirement is please be 32

Edit: NVM, our 6th is coming.

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

If you are low on coins or don't need it for the collection, do not buy it.

Nope, my coins are indeed precious. I haven't got round to making any alts yet (I know, i know) so my supply is limited lately.

I'll help you guys since I only did Crota and Abyss. Still need to do bridge. You can leave Deathsinger for normal.

 

[SgtCobra]

The stat roll for the Starfire Protocol is absurd, 137 max intellect? C'mon son.

 

[kidko]

No Land Beyond, wow. Funnnnnny guys!

I got Skullfort and Arachnid from my 2 helm engrams. Finally got my titan baby past 20, now 26, so he'll have an exotic to start with until I get something better.

time for sleeeeeep

 

[Omni]

What's the website that lists people looking for extra players? I've never used it before. I wanna give Crota a go and it's probably my best bet for a little while.

 

[ocean]

I'd love to finally get a chance to play with you! I still remember your generous offer to solo-carry my low lever Hunter a few days back

Sadly the group's full. Once I'm done with this run I'll post back to see if anyone wants to do it again.

 

[SlenderBeans]

Ah, being the swordbearer is exhilarating. Still not that great at it though.

I kinda want to do two full runs later today so send me an invite when you are. (Even if it is just the first two parts)

I get that. There were folks that have quit and come back in short order. I was one of them a few weeks ago. The difference here is that this one encounter is now heavily reliant on a single weapon to be effective as a fireteam. They may come back in a day or next reset, but when the frustration of beating against the wall and at the mercy of a single RNG drop becomes too much, they will leave for good. Teams stacked with Gjallarhorns are struggling, those of us without are even further at a loss.

It's alright. I can technically still solo that section or get it done with another group before reset.

----------------------------------------------------

If our same group wants to switch alts and do it again later tonight, I'll be willing. I think we had good team chemistry there. Everybody filled their roles perfectly. Going to try and upload the run. Have to split the video file.

I agree with that, the problem is that we have a different situation at hands.
We are talking about ONE weapon being so better than the others that Bungie had to design the hard mode around it. Before that it was just "the weapon to speed everything up and make your like WAY easier", but since this week it has become "the weapon you MUST have". It was already overshadowing all the other exotics, and now things will be even worse than before, leading to even more frustration to the player base that was not lucky enough to get it.
And instead of fixing this situation in a somewhat clever way (sell it at Xur, or nerf it, or buff other exotics way up), Bungie decided it was best to not only do *nothing* about it, riding on the idea that "people who don't have it will keep on playing the game for this carrot only", but to rub it in everyone's face at every possible occasion.
They are themselves creating the situation where people who finally bank on it stop playing the game. They are themselves making of this weapon the way to "end the game".

i enjoy it too Crota has just been pretty unreliable as of late, jumping down from his platform to kill people or doing a long attack that kills you all the way at the edge of his central platform.

Teams stacked with Gjallarhorns are struggling, those of us without are even further at a loss.

I remember having a discussion here on GAF where people were claiming Gjallarhorn was necessary against (normal) Crota. I was of the view it wasn't. I retract that statement now hard mode Crota has been released. Looks like you'll need atleast two gjallarhorn wielders to get the shield down quick enough.

You explained it a lot better than I.

Yeah, normal it isn't remotely required with a decent team. Normal Crota shield can go down with just Scout/Sniper spam and a level 32 sword bearer gives a lot of room for error.

Hard Mode is a different beast. The raids own RL is only marginally effective. Gjallarhorn isn't a crutch here, it is a necessity.

 

[Kadey]

Gifted our loadout. Thanks Crota.

 

[Noisepurge]

Want to know what will REALLY make people quit? Running out of loot to strive for.

of definitely i've already stopped doing Daily missions and most bounties as they serve no purpose.

The only item i'm missing from Vault of Glass is the Fusion rifle, so i can run that raid with buddies for fun sometimes.
From Crota's End i just need the helmet and would love to get the Handcannon.

Got no other purpose of playing really, if my friends and awesome gaffers wouldn't be playing, i would already quit.

 

[Nuszka]

Seeing how Gjallahorn is mandatory now, I'm done. I won't rely on RNG to be relevant in Hard Mode, that is some shitty business practice I won't support any further. Xur selling No Land Beyond today is the final straw.

Thanks for all the people I grouped with, and the reset tuesday morning group. Have fun !

We had a lot of fun. This is what saddens me , and I think it will be happening more often when HoW under delivers , especially with some upcoming releases in March.

 

[TP-DK]

Anyone willing to kill Crota on hm? I got a checkpoint on the bastard.

 

[Owlowiscious]

Haaaa, so yeah. HM Crota is not for me until I upgrade my weapons. Was trying to solo the lamps last night with a Titan mate, both made it up to the Ogre, but one cheeky blast with his eye beams and dead in a split second. Was barely chipping off his health even with crits. Best get grinding and upgrading then!

Also, anyone know the best way to get Radiant Shards? I need 28 of them to fully upgrade all current armour (raid gauntlets, raid chest, already got maxed obsidian mind and maxed bog standard legendary wellies). Can't continue to upgrade any more armour until I get some.

you can cheese it by getting on the rock (wait as long as possible) and using titan bubble to protect from the ogres until bridge forms

 

[Forerunner]

From reddit:

MK.44 Stand Asides
Radiant Dance Machines
Starfire Protocol
No Land beyond
Exotic shard + exotic helm engram
No heavy ammo

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Might be a stupid question but I really don't know. I have a 31 Titan and am considering making an alt. Is there anyway I can use my Titan to get legendaries for another class so that when I hit 20 with said alt I already have a set of armor ready to go? I know I can buy the exotic from Xur, but not sure about filling out the rest with legendaries. I'd much rather do higher level content with the Titan then going back to to lower level content.

An exotic is the only thing you would have control over getting. Any other gear would have to be from RNG engrams.

Everybody wants a Gjallahorn and I´m just sitting here hoping for a Hawkmoon.

Yup. You can get other class gear through engrams and stuff, thats how I 'collected' basically everything for my alt-Titan. And exotics through Xur of course.

Not sure if you can buy legendaries for a different class though, never tried. I think not. But just make sure you have some spare commendations lying around, grind out some marks and you're good to go with your alt.

Naa. If you get legendary engrams you can open them on your alt though.

 

[2real4tv]

Taking my chance on engrams need that Saint -14 for titan. Buying Dance machine for hunter. Hopefully with the next DLC they will do something with the updgrade system
it seems too high imo.

 

[SirRyanOfSmeg]

Dance Machines! I've been eager to try these out with the MIDA

 

[Shito]

Yeah: you can't.

No need to open them on the alt: purple engrams are not character dependant. They decode to any class.

 

[Owlowiscious]

I hope to run it with another group using my Hunter. Going to harder for me personally since I main the Titan and I was shield and DPS person. Plus Ruin Wings is amazing for this. I only had to pop like 3 synths.

Our group.

how do you make gifs so quickly ._.

 

[Carn82]

Thats pretty fun, I can tell you.
