Most effective counter anytime you're unexpectedly face to face with a supplicant is just to jump straight upwards - they take a second or so to go through their self-destruct animation which is generally enough time to get you outside of its instant death area. thumbup
Your reactions are clearly better than mine smile I emerge from the portal and boom! Guardian down. Top tip for next time though

Was funny listening to you lot and the American squeaker last night.....

Nothing of interest there and RNG luck just ran out smile

When did Xur exotic weapons become 23 SC to buy? They were and indeed some web pages still say that they are 17 SC
Any weapon equipped in the primary slot is 23 SC, everything else is 17 SC.

Shane, yes, the squeaker was by equal counts frustrating and hilarious. Lovechild's "oh for ****s sake" at one stage had me in stitches, especially when said squeaker was so typical of the breed; claimed he's done it before, knows what he's doing then proceeds to run around like a headless chicken and then won't shut up for the duration of the run. He also tried shooting the broken sun thing behind Crota straight off the bat thinking it was the Oversoul...

Ah, the enthusiasm and exuberance of youth.................take it elsewherebiglaugh

We even went to orbit because we thought it was glitching, as when we left the crystal room it had already started and crota moved within 15 seconds. Went back in and I kept an eye on the sword bearer door. We were still clearing the room, and low and behold, our friend was already outside shooting rockets at crotalaugh

Yes, funny and annoying in equal measure. He did do as instructed when he joined party chat though, and we got him through it.

I was more annoyed with the other person suggesting he'd run sword after 10 minutes. 1st attempt I got to crota a second early and he smashed me. 2nd attempt my own grenade killed me as it stuck to the sword bearer and he lunged at me and it killed me. 3rd time got it. Anyone who runs sword knows that's bad formnono Offer to take over if it's been dragging on, but usually the person will offer it to someone else to do if it's not working out. It rarely takes more than 1 or 2 goes nowadays.

I especially liked it when he asked if he could send us friend requests. You said "Sure, send it to "S", "9", "9", "a"...

biglaugh

I did delete his request though. yes, I'm a horrible, horrible man!

I could tell your sensibilities were offended because you responded pretty sharply with "the sword isn't the problem" and when he pushed the subject again, you gave him the silent treatment. The fact that you got Crota down on the next sword kind of proved your point, I think, and that guy got out of fireteam pretty sharply afterwards.

He probably thought he'd made friends for life in Crota's End last night. You're horrible you aretongue out

The timing was wrong for the 1st. That could be me going early, rockets going late or any number of glitches/lag etc, and the 2nd was an unfortunate guardian/grenade interface. For a guest in a raid to question my abilities and call for a new sword bearer based on that is a bit insulting. He could fk right off!! I was in no way insinuating that it was anyone else's fault either, just that I'd not actually had a decent go at the sword at that point. I want to try a hunter 1 sword next time.

rofl My finest hour.

As an aside, I've seen 2 4th Horsemen drop in IB in the last 2 days. I've got 3 ciphers now, just that bd shotgun I'm still missing. It's taunting me I tells ya!

As I still need a 4th Horseman, maybe I should be hitting up IB then... or at least I would if I could get on! Anyone else having problems with PSN?

Enjoyed the quick blast through Hard VoG earlier, that was my first ever hard completion (As was Crota yesterday). Used my Hunter and got the extra heavy ammo boots I was after. Few bounties and I'll be at 34.

i didn't realise Iron Banner was such a ballache, I've only got this evening to get to level 3 as I'm away from tommorow, is there any way to speed it up? I'm actually doing pretty well with a decentish k/d ratio but the points seem accumulate so slowly even with the bounties.

Really?

Mine is still up, is it because it is a US account (although on a UK Machine, connection etc)

I am currently doing IB now.

PSN is back up for me... but Destiny servers are now down!

I'd laugh if it weren't so bloody annoying.

The never rains but pours theme continued with another Gally dropping for my Titan in the Nightfall, 2 galleys and 2 ice breakers this week. I shan't complain but hope for something different with the Hunter tomorrow.

Both charecters are hovering around level 4 for IB as well so should be up to 34 with the Titan tomorrow, been very laggy tonight though.

Cheers to Stimps and Speck for the run through 34/32 PoE, it was good fun despite the hurdles - well, hurdle really - en route. Speck, just to reiterate what was said; weekend may be Trials time for many people, but I'm not one of them. I'd much rather be doing a Raid or PoE than trials, so if I'm online and you fancy running PoE at any level, give me a shout. Nine times out of then, I'll be game. smile
