Destiny |OT35| Time to Explain At Last

Really like that bounties have replaced the old system of getting to 5 wins and 7 wins for decent packages

I preferred the old way, it gave you a sense of achievement even if you never got to the lighthouse, a blind man with no thumbs could complete these bounties. I got a blue class engram from silver (gg bungie) and the burning helm (303) from the gold
 
Fugggggg guess I might run trials on Sunday night or Monday idk. Just want the ghost really, couldn't gaf about being max light anymore.

That's kind of my thinking, too. I really want the ghost, but anything else will likely get infused. I'm going to try running a few matches tonight, if I can find a few people that are willing to have a bit of fun.

I guess I understand how that no knight may be a bit more doable for lower levels, but its really not even thaaaat much better. How in the fuck is polygon debating whether or not its cheating?
Destiny is for gaming sites what Apple is to tech sites. Super popular, super polarizing, and draws a ton of traffic. Too many people love it, too many people hate it, so all the big sites try their best to come up with something - anything - to SEO Destiny and drive the traffic up.

Note: I really don't think it's wrong. It'd be silly not to. Websites only make money if they drive traffic, and they do that by pushing content people reveal interest in (via clicks). Anything in games media you don't like? It's on gamers, not the editors. They just follow our browsing patterns and push the content people respond (click) to.

Well there's a small chance his sword can clip through the floor and kill you. Never seen it happen but I've heard about it.

More likely? You may have touched the surface of the black dome. Instant death.

I thought at first I'd clipped the dome but I was nooooowhere near it. Impossible unless the game had lost track of where my character was due to lag or something. I think it shows up as something other than Misadventure too, doesn't it?

I really don't see it as anything other than a viable, risky alternate strategy at this point. I don't even want to do it that way anymore, if for no other reason that it's very very dangerous for the runner even if you're on point with holding ogre aggro. How GutZ was surviving every run last night is beyond me as it looked like they were shooting him quite a bit.

Yeah, I agree it's definitely not better. Just am alternative if groups are struggling doing it one way or the other.
Both normal strat and alternative need skilled execution to complete, and you can wipe just as easy with either because of just one mistake.

This can't be called a cheese.
A cheese would be killing oryx with no risk to anyone, or the ability to carry no matter if the under leveleds do anything or not.

Atheon was cheese because you only needed one person to push him off, no one else's needed to do a damn thing.
Crota was cheese/exploit/cheating because you only needed one person to unplug their internet as Crota was kneeling, as the rest could be handled again solo.

There is no point in the alternative strategy that you can *solo* Oryx.

If anything, you could feel free to call it the "safe" or "easy" method, but even that would be pushing the wording, as it is far from easy, and at times, not very safe.

What's this I'm hearing about 311+ Exotics dropping from Silver tier Trials bounties? That makes no sense, that bounty is so easy.

EDIT:

Got a 317 exotic chest from the silver tier bounty.

Passage Coins need a second use.
I will never use all the ones I have. It's impossible.

Let me complete the ToO bounties with 100 Passage Coins.
 
Anyone up for Hard Oryx run tonight 9/10pm?

306 Defender Titan with 310 Malice/308 Spindle. It'll be my first Hard run, but I've sherpa'd normal plenty.

I wonder if it is a bug. Seems weird.

It has to be, 311+ exotics is something that you think would be reserved to reaching the Lighthouse, not gotten from a simple bounty.

I'm also hoping it's a bug because if it's not then it opens up another can of worms of why the light levels of exotic gear above 310 are RNG dependent like legendary gear and not a set 320.
 
Items I got from Trials:

5 Wins - 307 Winged Sun Greaves - Boots with Second Wind and extra Rocket Ammo.
Silver Tier Bounty - 207 Sublime Light Mark - Nothing fancy on this class item
Gold Tier Bounty - 305 The Tamarind - Rocket Launcher with Tracking and Field Scout.
