I would (try to) help but Im busy right now. Will probably be trying in a couple hours. Do you know where all anomolies are? If not I'd watch a video. I know the first few rooms locations but after that I know I'd just wander around wasting too much time looking for them to be of any actual help. So I'll be watching a video a few times through before playing.
Its more so the DPS check of killing the wizards, ogres and knights quickly

Could be you. No experience required void where prohibited.

*edit Full.

7:30 left on the clock. I forgot to check how many anomalies we grabbed.
Very very nice.

Pulse grenades like someone said are good. I use Unspoken Promise arc sword and if you can get into them without dying (kill ads first) you can wreck them with it with its heavy attack. Arc scout might be good? Not sure. Dont be afraid to use your heavy to take them out quick.

The very first ogre at least you can stand outside both sets of doors and just use something like Nameless Midnight and you wont get too shot up by the knights and I dont even think the ogre will shoot at all if youre back far enough.

Excellent spawn system once again.

Playing trials this week and just getting spawn camped every fucking time.

Yah the map is too damn small for survival. It's too easy to get a team wipe and immediately move over to their spawning area and just start putting pressure on them.

Does anyone know if you can farm the tokens for the exotic shotgun quest by just farming the opening the door part over and over again?

Better Devils feels best to me. Not sure if it's the aim assist stat, but I've been far more consistent with that gun over most other hand cannons.
Better Devils has explosive rounds. It doesn’t do more damage but damage is split between a base number and explosive damage (which adds up to the same number as a normal hand cannon if equal impact).

The thing is, the explosive damage isn’t subject to range drop off. So it ends up being far more reliable midrange

Wait as in 27 losses in rounds or entire matches? O-O


In about 35 matches, I won 2 rounds total.... With good players too. What a shit-show for a game mode.

Thanks for no help with matchmaking Bungie and thanks for locking a trophy behind this this shit.

The moment I got the trophy I knew I would never touch this mode again. Good luck guys.
 
I went into Trials the first weekend with three really good players and got smoked the first three games or so. I knew at that moment, Trials wasn't going to be for me past the initial weekend. We eventually went 6-3 on the card and that was more than enough for me. They didn't go flawless until last weekend and they had to seek the help of even better players than them to do it and it still took two weekends. It would be nice if there was a lockout if you've been flawless or at least try to separate the matchmaking pool as the weekend progresses.

Whelp, filled up my Vault today, all 200 slots. Bah I really need to start figuring out which guns I like vs dislike so I know what I can get rid of instead of hoarding everything. Though as someone on reddit said: "the worst gun is one balance patch away from being the most OP", so I am scared to get rid of anything. I should also get rid of all my purple sparrows and ships I guess since I have 3 exotic sparrows and 5 exotic ships, at least one for each character, but I weirdly feel like I shouldn't trash them, no idea why. Also need to get rid of some shaders I guess, that seems like a waste of vault space, why they made your inventory hold a limited number of unique shaders is beyond me... But again, it is so random how the shaders actually look on things (like random ass shaders making the titan synthocep veins glow) that I hate trashing ones randomly.


And yea, about all this Trials stuff, I accepted long ago that I enjoy playing Destiny solo and with my brother, so I only do content that allows me to queue with 2 people or solo. I'm fine with never doing trials or the raid, at least for now. Tried like 3 weeks of random trials groups in D1 and one week of it in D2, not for me. Did fine, but too stressful to be worth it. Still making it to 305 on 3 characters slowly but surely even with totally ignoring that stuff (and actually fully ignoring the Nightfall so far). Though with how damn close I am to the platinum trophy I may break down and be sherpa'd through the raid and carried to 1 trial win for the trophy at some point. Also since I am apparently a massive hoarder I guess I want to have the trials and raid weapons at some point, but I already ran out of space as is...

What was that site for tracking which planetary engrams are at 300? I promise I'll bookmark it this time and never ask again >.>
 
Wow went one and done on the (regular) Nightfall in a guided game with 2:30 left on the clock. Didnt think that was going to happen. I think the guys I was playing with knew where half of the anomolies were and it so happened I knew where some others were so it worked out.

Dont need a mic for the Nightfall. Hopefully they do matchmaking for it at some point.

That's why I don't understand some of the decisions Bungie made with the game. Game is supposed to cater more to casuals but PVP is anything but casual.

Preach. 4v4 is the biggest mistake they made with D2 imo. Like someone else said they should have gone the opposite way that they did and made pvp more casual (or at least casual like D1) while making the story/pve at least a little more difficult.

Really wish the Nightfall emblem actually tracked total Nightfall completions.

PVP is in an ultra-awkward jack-of-all-trades niche. Teams will wreck shop, but the ceiling for an individual to excel seems pretty low.
 
Very happy.to finally get my one trials win, and even happier that it was easy to get into the flawless room with only one win haha

I get the feeling PVP portion of the game wasn't ready for prime time - at least I hope not.

This can't be the pattern moving forward.
 
If you're shit at PvP like me then complete the milestone on Quickplay/competitive while Trials is active.

The hardcore group players are doing Trials so you don't get demolished by them.

Also, nightfall is kicking my arse this week. 2nd failure last night with a pug. You've really got to call targets or the yellow knights and wizards will run away and recharge faster than you can due to the annoying momentum modifier.
Knights are also surprisingly good at dodging cluster bombs from curtain call. Warfcliff seems a better option.

The glitch isn't great since it leaves you 2-manning a tough area. And the max time permitted kicks in pretty quickly. You probably lose 3 or 4 minutes due to lower DPS and deaths. Reviving is really hard when you're the target of literally every enemy.
IMO you need to call the glitcher back when you go round the corner and hit the 2-wizards 2-knights 1-ogre part. It's hard to DPS them with 2 guys when a wizard or ogre can lock you down with their insane psychic machine guns.
Or just learn the anomalies.
