My fireteam had our asses handed to us time and again on round 4 of Skolas tonight. Can't count how many wipes and we just couldn't get the third wave target down.
Pop Saint-14 bubble on spawn door (first door on the right as you enter the arena)
Stand back in the bubble with shotguns ready (on the third wave the target spawns after some captains and vandals so you need to stand out of the reach of their initial melee animation)
Wait for target and shotgun his face off (be quick as the Saint-14 disorientation doesn't affect the target as much and it will sometimes sprint straight through it)
All retreat to ledge on right side of arena to kill everything else (this is the hardest part of the whole round by far)

I've done this without a titan bubble but it is much, much easier with one. Hardest part is killing everything and staying alive at the end. Use the specialist modifier to your advantage, 365 shotguns especially Found Verdict seriously kick ass in this level.

Yeah, we had two Warlocks and a hunter. Would have killed for a bubble!

We had a bunch of shotguns but I think mine was the only 365 (secret handshake).

Had fun on Vog last night with Purple and Silver and got my second vision of confluence which I was glad for. . I was on but not one was about then was having fun on Crota on my own and then a few joined. Went and did VOg with a few others who joined.

Anyone on tonight for POE/Nightfall etc...

Strange this week. I gone nothing new or good from POE or Nightfall. Did a POE 28 with randoms last night and got Plan c for the first time.

A reminder for people that did iron bannana last time. There is a glitch so that you can temporarily buy items from this times iron banner. This basically temporarily keeps your old rank from last time.

At about 10 minutes to 6 make sure you are in Destiny and orbit. Make sure you dont get booted out for idleness and then a few minutes AFTER 6 go down to the Tower and visit Lord Saladin. All the items to buy should be unlocked according to your old rank.

As soon as you leave again to go to orbit your rank will be reset back to 0 - so you can only do this on one charachter and one tower visit. That said if you are around at 6 tonight it's an easy way to buy some stuff relatively easily.

NOTE: you'll need a lot of glimmer before you start or easy access to it in the Tower.

Hopefully I'll get on tonight, and quite a few people will be on for reset Tuesdays...

I clearly recall that just before the last iron banner went live there was a minor update that kicked everyone to orbit. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the same thing happens again today.

I'm not convinced this is going to work anymore but may be wrong.

Actually looking forward to getting stuck into this.

Hiya, I checked on reddit and someone thought it had worked last time...so worth trying?

Just to be clear you do need to already be in orbit before 6...not in any activities. I think sonlong as it doesn't kick you back to thevcharachter select screen it should work.

I'm up for trying to grind it again if other people are, but don't fancy it trying it with randoms... I'm less desperate for e light this time around smile

Really enjoying regular crucible at the moment, but last night we got our arses kicked again in ToO.

Straight after I jumped into the daily Clash playlist and led with a 6.0K/D. Just can't relay the same performances into Trials.

Broke my record for lvl 35 PoE too. Under 1hr 20mins, straight through with no wipes. Not sure this week will be the same with brawler and juggler on.

I know it's been mentioned several times already but for those of you struggling to time getting on Destiny with mates or fellow Pistonheaders I can't recommend http://www.the100.io enough.

I've scheduled or join a number of PoE runs or Raids and have only positive feedback.

So my plan to do the reset at 6 has kind of failed given I'm sat on a stationary train in the deep south (of london)...

I'm up for stuff tonight if/when I manage to get "home".

Sorry chaps. I was needed to help in the consumption of 'beer' in something called 'sunshine'.

It was a bit of a shock to be honest

A few on last night but hardly anyone doing Nightfall POE

Not on tonight as i'm out seeing a mate who's back in the country for a short while.

I may get a short while if anyone is going anything

Sorry, fella. I put a game on the100.io and got a couple of decent lads to join me that way. Did Nightfall in about twenty minutes last night without a wipe - seemed ridiculously easy versus the very first time I did it (same goes for Crota as a 34 with some experience vs. as a 31 first time around!). It dropped No Land Beyond for me frown

We went on to do lvl 34 PoE but got stuck at round 4 - Hive and disarm mines. With Arc burn it was one hit deaths from Wizards and Knights and we'd all run out of heavy ammo and there was none dropping. Also didn't have a hunter, which would have helped greatly. Bit annoying, but we'll regroup and try again.

Didn't manage to get on for long before the servers had a hissy fit & kicked me off.

Xbox live went down for just over an hour last night. Couldn't sign my profile in at all, let alone play Destiny.

Enjoying Iron Lagger, even though I seem to get partnered up with 5 double thumb amputees every time.

And I've lost count of the times it's chucked me into a game already underway, into the team getting stomped on. So frustrating.

Got a Gheleons Demise from one match and a couple of Ash Factory launchers, but other than a handful of Trials coins not much else. Had loads more loot by this time during the last IB.

The OH has a work do this Friday and a concert on Saturday, so looks like I'll be on Destiny all weekend. Need all the etheric light I can to get my hunter up to level 34. IB rank 3 for both my warlock and hunter, then a POE level 34 for the warlock (that's 34 already) seems like the most reliable way to get there this weekend. Also started a Titan character, but that'll take a back seat just now until the IB is finished. Wouldn't mind a few runs at the VOG and try to finish Crota on Hard with my 32 hunter.

Anyone up for any of that lot? biggrin

That's a lot for one weekend. I managed to get my hunter to lvl 3 IB last night. Over the two evenings that's about 5 to 6 hours of matches plus most of the bounties. Will get quicker as the week moves on though.

Wouldn't mind smashing through the 32 and 34 PoE with all characters at some point too.
