Richardson agrees
I had almost given up on ever finding G'horn until two of them dropped within 24 hours, one from the 28 PoE chest and one from the nightfall. This expansion gets two thumbs up for that alone.

Cheese Factory is amazing.

While I feel horrible for getting him his first Trials of Osiris loss, Coca Koala and I got a PHD lecture in PVP and Trials in the one round we played. Apparently the three kiwis we played were on their twelfth straight hour of playing and were a fine tuned machine.

Thanks Cheese Factory!

I also got my second character to 20 so now I can do things twice. Hooray?

I'd love to learn the ins and outs of this mode from someone like Cheese Factory, we went 3 wins before we got bumped out. Feels crappy, but it was a good learning experience.

The level 32 PoE seems impossible if you don't have 3 people with gjallarhorn. WTF are you supposed to do?

The best thing you can do during that fight is scramble and have everyone run off on their own around the arena. That's the safest way to play because you can take out the adds then come together to hit the boss when the area is clear. Repeat that 3 or 4 times and you're golden. If you stick together you're making it a lot harder on yourself because of all the grenade launchers raining on you, and you'll constantly run out of ammo because of juggler. You need to be running around to see the best success. I recommend taking an ascended Invective as well because it regens ammo and is solar, which is great for the shielded adds.

This is trials at the moment - Use thorn, sniper with last round, rocket launcher. Everyone hides and snipes in a group until a team gets a kill. Then the team with 1 man down gets rushed. Tea bag after every win but watch out for a radiance. It's really quite exciting.

You know I used to consider myself and my regular teammates "good". Not great, but we regularly average 1.6ish on control. We play very well together.

Trials was a nightmare. We squeezed out a 6 win run but in retrospect we could have gotten that 8 had we bought the other buffs.

Still good lord there's a lot of MLG pros apparently. It's just so damned disheartening to see everyone talking about how great the lighthouse is and oh drat what a bunch of scrubs playing.

Then again we started at 10:30 ET, so there's that.

Went 9-1 on our first two characters then started playing poorly and ended the night at 5-2 ugh. I did manage to get some light 42 Osiris gauntlets for my titan out of the gold tier package which was nice. The Osiris gear looks cool as heck.

Very good with just two amendments:

- Bounty access starts at level 4, but you only get 6 per day (3 PvE, 3 PvP) until level 10, when you get access to the full 12 (6 PvE, 6 PvP).
- The exception to this is Eris, who's bounties you can (and absolutely should) take from level 1. She takes goddamn forever to level so the sooner you can start working on her stuff the better. Go speak to her, cancel (B/circle) her first purple quest, and see if any are likely to be applicable.

What's the lowest matchmade activity I can get Etheric Light from?

32 just seems to be the new 31: before HoW you could get to 31 with vendor / Xûr armour, and then were stuck with basically just Crota to get to 32.

Now - if I understand this correctly - you can get to 32 with vendor & Xûr gear, but the only way to get any higher is with prison of elders 32 (non-matchmaking), nightfall (non-matchmade), ToO (again, no matchmaking) and raids. Is there any way for a filthy casual who doesn't have time to trawl destiny tinder to get past 32?

Helped get Rogz and Arizor to the 9 wins earlier. Final score card read 9-2 so they missed out on The Lighthouse, but still did really well. The final win was a very nice 5-0 stomping.

Here is some footage of me in The Lighthouse for those who haven't seen it. Its pretty cool.

Guys guys.. Osiris is like really good, good PvP here. I think Bungie has striken gold here. Its a PvP mode where skill alone matter for everything, and also luck can gently caress things gloriusly sometimes. Its weird, but sometimes it feel to me like a MOBA, when both teams are in the same place, reviving, killing each another, and only one of the two teams end on top.


Small stupid anecdote:

My two teammates die. Games is a draw 4vs4 points. I completely suck and I am underleveled ( 32 vs 33+33+33 ). Desperate super, enemy team wipe. Win! :D

Nah i almost always use it. I use the Vex Mytho and Red Death a little. But nothing comes close to Last Word, for me. I use it as a shotgun and mid range weapon, then i have a sniper for the long range to keep all my based covered.

This is how I *thought* it would be, but it really isn't unless you get unlucky. In ~30 games I think we came across maybe 4-5 people using final round? It also only really works if you spawn as Alpha, since trying to rush outside into the blinding sun is a loving pain in the rear end. Otherwise it's easy enough to just rush indoors straight away and be safe from the long sniper sightlines.

Also, flashbang grenades :allears:

There aren't any activities that will get you past 32 that have matchmaking, and it really, really sucks. The weekly is the highest level matchmaking activity and you won't get anything to take you beyond 32.

Until Iron Banner rolls around, anyway. So it's pretty much same as it ever was.
