Finally got my Crux today, so that's finished my exotics off.
Wow! That is impressive and some serious determination!


I am really feeling the grind at the moment...got to level up a hunter and titan to get my last two main achievements and going through the story missions with poor equipment is just not fun.

Been doing some bounties and patrols as well but those story missions...gah!

Going to take my level 2 titan straight into crucible I think!

If any of you guys need a sword bearer for Crota on hard or normal, just give me a shout, ive done him 5 times today just helping random groups out.

Nothing really left in the game for me until HOW comes out, but still enjoy the game.

I did a CE Hard with some randoms and had some awesome drops:
- Warlock Chest
- Oversoul Edict
- Patience and Time
- Warlock Helm
- Abyss Defiant
- S-13 Graverobber

Not a bad run smile

Who is up for some shard farming this evening?

nice one Glen, I just checked and I don't have patience and time or universal remote.

Looking through the list of legendaries and I think the praetorian foil is the only one I've not had at some point now. In fact I've only seen that drop once (Gav got one I think?). I've also got 3 x one way tickets and 3 x LDRs, each with the different damage type!

I'm up for a fresh Crota run this evening. Chest or Helmet for my hunter and I'm laughing all my way to 3 x 32's, one of each.

I'm sure I read that we're getting HoW sooner than anticipated too, sometime before the end of the month and it's coming with a patch containing lots of bug fixes for the other raid bosses.

just checked, you're right. We'll get a release date by the end of the month (countdown to a countdown FFS).

A recent leak indicated 19th May but I think they'll push for sooner as I get the feeling they're losing a lot of players at the moment.

Nightfall is Mars strike with no burn type. Lightswitch, Angry, Juggler.

That's a tough one.

Ah yes! I remember reading that now and thinking wtf!?

It was classic deej ” we're listening and we'd love to talk to you about that, and at some point soon we'll be able to reveal when we can start talking about it"

Just total non a information. I'd rather they said nothing and just had a shorter update....

it does seem an odd thing to announce, it must have been a quiet week or something.

RE your Titan. Story and Bounties will be miles better for ranking up than crucible.

Save any legendary armour engrams you get and if Xur sells exotics buy and save a few too. I did that when I made my warlock and he was ready for raiding as soon as I'd sunk a few bounties in post 20.

I found the Helm of Saint 14 (glasshouse a close second)is the best defender exotic and the Helm of inmost light is my favourite for Striker. I've always like armamentarium too.

Thanks - good tips!

I'm not sure if I will try and get my alts up to 31/32...I don't really have enough time to run everything on my main character! :-) I'm going to get the achievements and then "park" them for the time being.

I'll be on tonight to get Nightfall done on my titan and Warlock and will try on my 28 hunter. So if anyone is about I'm happy to help if needed.

A good night, managed 3 nightfalls then another to help out Jimmy D. 3 weeklys

Not a bad night but still not a huge amount of people on

I'm just going to run Crota first and then do the nightfalls. valus isn't the most exciting.

I've got a lot of bike training to do over the next few weeks so need to get out on the bike. I've got round 2 of the Pmba enduro series in 3 weeks and then round 2 of the Welsh enduro series at end of May.

Cheers for the help Remal and the guys for half a Crota run.

Checking through my items this morning I found that I had got a second G'horn from it smile

I completed a normal run with my hunter and didn't get any armour or weapons.... at all. I just got the smaller of the two ships!

And sorry about our run, boomers were murdering me. If the swordbearer isn't a hunter (and even sometimes when he is) you need to either use the left strategy or distract the boomers with a bubble. I forgot about the other way to distract them by sending someone under the right tower but we're then a man short on rocket duty.

If I can get on a little earlier tonight then I'll be able to communicate a bit more than just whispering 'now' when I get up on the platform.

Also, if we can carry my 31 hunter through a few hard mode CPs I might finally get that last armour piece to take him to 32.

I did one nightfall after too but won't be doing any more (got another one way ticket).

I feel like the justification for this week's nightfall is a bit daft too. They've interpreted 'least completed' as most challenging but in effect it's probably because it's not very fun to do, especially with no burn modifiers. You just get bored sat in a corner peeping out every so often to shoot at rockets mcdickface.


At a time when people seem to be running to other games they go and introduce the most boring strike with no modifiers as the weekly.
They'll get Xur to sell No Land Beyond again at the weekend because no one uses it so people will surely enjoy the challenge!

I completely agree, the only reason for me to do the Nightfall is the buff for leveling up new armour, weapons and reputation.

I am tired of getting drops that I just don't want.

I enjoy Crota but last night was my first experience of the bugs preventing us from getting him down.

Will be up for a hard mode on my Warlock or Titan, and a normal on my Titan.

Is this on hard mode? Or normal?

I did three normal Crotas last night with Fugative and four randoms of LFG, I did see a coup,e of ph regulars on Crota and asked if they needed a hand, but didn't get a reply?
