Doing the bad juju bounty in the crucible and it's shocking how the lower scoring players get all the loot,literally the last 3 games I've been MVP and got one shader while the lowest scoring have got a purple engram each

It could be worse, they'll probably release a patch that takes gear off you!

Can you still upgrade it?

Not sure how many wipes we had last night but it felt as though we could get to the final sword blind folded. But that last part was giving us grief.

Once we had him enraged and a boomer shot me, when we generally haven't had any grief off boomers with our strategy.

Another time we had him enraged, he got straight up and killed me instantly. InnocentShadows got a video of this.

Another time we had him enraged, I went invis ready to finish him off, but when he stood up he froze with his sword in the air and went through the animation sequence from when he spawns in at the start of the encounter. Wipe.

Another time we had him enraged and I was hitting hell out of him with the sword but he didn't go down. He had one pixels worth of health left. Literally, watch InnocentShadows video....

Those were just the ones I remembered. Up to that point, barring the odd bad luck with the sword bearer running off and such, we've had so much practice now that it feels routine!

And that necrocasm is distracting. Dalzo did the daily with myself straight after and heaing cursed thrall explode when you're shooting fallen is very strange!

[simo1863]

watched Innocent's video. It's the sort of thing that's been going on for a while, I think we're just more well practised at getting to enrage, where most of the glitches seem to happen. I don't know what they can do to address it though if it is tied into the cheese patch and connection timings. Certainly showing them videos like that will help.

I played sword bearer (as a Titan) on normal CE with rage, trash and a few others last night. It was refreshing and actually enjoyed Destiny for the first time since CE Hard came out!

I'll be on tonight for a good session, if we can't get a group for CE Hard of VOG Hard then I might turn to lfg.

so I may not shard Super Good Advice after all, it seems shooting the Oversoul counts as a miss so it keeps refilling the mag

That's terribly useful. Intentional or a glitch?

Comes fully upgraded out the box, you just switch perks to suit your style of play.

As tank said it was pretty weird at first watching vandals and dregs blow up like thralls lol, in any close quarters situation I can see this being top dog. Seems like an auto rifle version of fatebringer although explosions aren't as frequent

sounds good actually which is about right for a terrible gun that you've had to fully rank up twice. They could just do with making the crux a bit more common.

Anyone else get anything decent last night?

[Lazadude]

Dragons breath worth it? Currently using a Big Rig XXL (Rare launcher) which has a high velocity and drops in area.

Suppose hunger and ghorn are both better, just need the drops!

Sword on normal is great fun. You can make mistakes and you can usually recover.

On hard however, 9 times out of 10 the sword runner is directly involved if you wipe. Carrying the expectations of the 5 other players will absolutely no margin for error isn't hugely entertaining to be honest. Stressful even, and it's only a fking game.....

With all the practice though I'd like to think I'm fairly proficient with the sword now. But you still feel the disappointment of your fireteam when you wipe, whether you made a mistake or not.
