Destiny [PS3,X360,PS4,XO]

Finally got my Skolas kill. He actually seemed pretty easy. In week 1 even with Gally burn he seemed hard as heck. Dunno.

Didn't get a elemental primary :( But did get an elder cipher. Now to find out which one is worth going for...I already know it's not the sidearm.

Probably use the light to finally up Fatebringer.
 
Had another great week so far in destiny. Since Tuesday I have reached lvl 34. I got my first etheric light from the nightfall with my hunter. I used it to ascend my Fang of ir yut. My second nightfall with my warlock I finally got Gjallahorn!!!!! I completed lvl 34 PoE between both nightfalls for the first time getting another etheric light and a weapon core. The light went into my Crota raid boots to make me lvl 34. Also today on croda normal I got my second Truth.
 
Great it seems I got a bugged Elder Cipher. Because my bounty slots were full ( I forgot to have a slot open). I thought Bungie had fixed that.

Variks has the notification and gives me the options but I cant choose one of them. And I never got the Cipher in my bounty slot.

Supposedly beating the 34 or 35 boss again on that character might fix it and get the bounty to drop, but then others say it does not. I probably wont bother unless I have extra time though, that's a lot of work for just that (and it probably doesn't work anyway), and none of the guns seem that good. I'll wait until Bungie fixes it hopefully or just next week when I run everything again.
 
Funny, looks like Bungie has increased the legendary engram drop rate or finally luck is smiling on me, got 3 legendary weapon engrams within 4 play sessions ! One primary, one secondary and one heavy weapon engram ! I had never seen it in my game since Destiny launched and I was like," why is the heavy ammo drop glowing so much !" :LOL:
Got a Rocket launcher which is supposed to spawn cluster bombs , a fusion rahe fle with high impact but only in 6 in may and a hand cannon called Up the Ante which I reforged like crazy to get firefly but haven't ! It has a mag of 12 , which is almost Hawk moon like and I would love to get firefly on it cos none of my weapons have it. No luck till now.
 
I dont believe HC's can get firefly? Fatebringer is the only exception.

Also as of HoW Snipers cant roll firefly either (they could in TDB)

And it's probably just luck, I haven't seen a purple cube in ages.

Is that so? HCs can't have Firefly? Holy shit, I wasted all my motes of light on it :-/ [emoji14]
 
Who needs engrams when you get legendary weapon spam in PoE, Crucible and IB. I keep them all at the postmaster as I have no space to test them.
 
Destiny is quite the gorgeous game many times. Underrated on the graphics front. So much detail, particularly on Venus. Great art as well. So much of graphics is flair and style, and the designers had it.

It's a game where it's safe to say the graphics dont get in the way. They dont necessarily blow you away always, but they're pretty flawless and never distract. The game designers could realize their 3d world vision on X1/PS4 without graphics being a distraction at all. Such is the positive side of more power.

On to the game...it finally happened I accidentally dismantled some Crota raid boots :(. Raid boots with intellect are hard to come by and at this point I only have 3 raid boots left. It seem near impossible to get VOG boots with intellect so time to farm The Bridge I guess. It seems you can only get the POE boots so far from a Judgments Chance (so odds will be very low). IMO that armor should drop from Skolas too. The POE boots are ugly as hell, but I wouldn't mind keeping around one pair with intellect if I can get them.

Oh yeah I started locking my armor after that. Been pretty lackadaisical about locking stuff til now since I'd never accidentally dismantled anything.

This is such a great week to beat Skolas, the combo of void burn and no trickle, conditions wont get much better imo. Got another Elder Cipher off him, this time for real, with the actual bounty. Make hay while the sun shines, I definitely want to clear 6 light this week (none in nightfall). Two to go.

Xur was a dud this week...I guess I could try for Crest of Lupi via engrams but I dont want it that much. Mida+Radiant dance machines is so fun though, talk about a headshot machine. I even played some high level POE with that combo, forgoing even an elemental primary. Bought 100 synth though, nice to not worry about that.

Edit: ahh great to see your vid on the front page at Destiny Reddit Pelupa!

Beat Skolas "legit" just now. Not really by choice I just always follow my teammates and thats how they knew to play it. I'm not fully versed on how to "burn" him anyway (it's easy enough but when the mines come I get a bit confused, but other groups took care of those and I just blast).

So that's 3 skolas clears, all this week. No elemental primary.

Took forever, time after time we got so close only to fail. Lost track of time, but I think for the entire POE was probably like, 5 hours. Probably the last 3 or so on Skolas. Minus a half hour break. Was very epic to finally beat him. At least now I guess I can say I have beat it The Way Bungie Intended (tm).

Honestly the chained poison mechanic is downright ingenious. In a lot of ways Bungie and Destiny dont get nearly enough credit for their design. Shit is like being on speed the whole match. Kind of reminded me of that movie Speed too, where if the bus drops below 60 it blows up. But most people will probably just say "damn, it's too hard".
 
For POE primaries with elemental I've got the pulse rifle in void, auto rifle in arc and scout rifle in arc. Got a cipher on each of my characters as well.
Also from trials of osiris, I've got 4 auto rifles (3 arc, 1 solar) the hand cannon (solar) and the scout rifle (void). Also got the trials shotgun, machine gun, warlock helmet, ship and shader (as well as other pieces of armor and class items). Kind of want one of the hand cannons in void.

Trials of Osiris seems to be getting tougher and tougher. Keep getting 9-1 cards. After I get a hand cannon in void, I think I'll stop going for those flawless cards... it's getting stressful. I'll just get the 8 wins for the gold tier to collect my 2 etheric light per week.

Also got Purifier Robes from a chest engram... it has 92 discipline and 97 strength! Insane stats for a chest piece.

@orangpelupa, nice vid! Liked and thumbed up.
 
Yeah there's been some discussion on reddit that PVP rewards are now TOO good compared to PVE. For example you aren't guaranteed an elemental primary after beating Skolas (I'm 0-3), but you are after going 9-0 in trials.

On the loot front though, woo hoo! I just turned in a judgments chance and got 116 intellect Kellhunters Rally (hunter gauntlets). I didn't know Judgments chance was the avenue to get POE armor with something besides strength. It's been really bugging me my strength weighting especially after accidentally dismantling those boots.

It often feels like RNG never favors me anymore, I guess because it's so hard for me to get those very few things I need/desire, so it feels great when it does
 
Going 9-0 in trials is MUCH harder than beating skolas though, so it's justified IMO. Rarely do you run into a weak team playing trials. The level of competition is a lot higher vs regular crucible and even higher than Iron Banner. At minimum you have to go 7-1 with all the buffs (start with win, next win counts as 2, mercy takes away a loss). The only way to buy those is with passage coins which are obtained via trials reward packages (which can only be purchased once a week per character) or getting them as rewards in crucible.

Not sure what the drop rate for elemental primaries for skolas is, but I've got 3 in the past 2 weeks (they only started dropping in the past 2 weeks) and I've beat it 5 times during that span. So either I'm lucky, or the drop rate is decent.

the secret of 9-0 trials = play with teammate from across globe.
it seems the matchmaking will prioritize "matching skill" instead of "closer player".
