@djskribbles can I beg you to carry me to the lighthouse?

I want to go there, once in a lifetime.

PoE is getting kind of old for me already. Skolas isn't very difficult for me anymore (beat him first try just now) and apparently they're lowering the difficulty because people are spending more time attempting it than Bungie would like. I still would have preferred a raid.

I've already got a bunch of extra etheric light and almost all of the trials/poe/new exotic weapons so I'm almost running out of things to play for already. That said, I'll keep playing Destiny as long as my buddies do. And ToO will definitely keep me coming back and is probably my favorite addition to this expansion.

I really like POE. I prefer it to a raid. I mean, at least this time, because I know more raids will always come.

POE is very enjoyable to me.

I am starting to get that feeling of wanting to delete one of my characters again though. Keeping up with 3 is just too much time.

Unfortunately the main drawback is I wont be able to hit max level as fast for any given expansion (although the way HoW worked, 2 characters was fine for fastest max level). And for whatever reason I really like that.

I also kind of want to roll a Titan.

I'm also actually thinking of delving into PVP. Just to explore an entire other side of the game, and I'd like to at least maybe establish not being horrible at it.

2 characters would be much better for that, as it frees up a lot of time from PVE. To do nightfall, weekly, POE 32, POE 34, POE 35 on all 3 characters, some bounties to level weapons/armor, queens wrath bounties on one character, then trying to keep up to 3X of many various weapons and armor is all quite the time sink.

I wish Bungie had made POE32 matchmade, though. Would have saved a good amount of PITA scrounging up groups for what is pretty easy content. POE32 is a lot like the weekly IMO. I think Bungie needs to move towards making more stuff matchmade, even if I agree they shouldn't go all the way.

Task: Acquire the Queen’s Cipher from the Queen’s Chest in an Arena Challenge.

• Obtain the Queen's Cipher as a random drop from a Large Chest with a Treasure Key in PoE Challenge Modes. Players can obtain this item from any level of PoE (32/34/35).

LOL bungie epic troll.

no description in the game that the Cipher is RANDOM and only drops on level 32 34 35.

Your buddies Yumaru and them are good at crucible too. I actually got a flawless with him and one of his friends.

If you get him on-board, I'll help you out.

He's so busy with ToO all the time :/

Btw the taken king seems finally using the unused bridge polygon hidden on the far side of the moon.

Recycle, reuse, reduce. Bungie is the greenest game developer

The Taken King trailer looked awesome. All the new supers look good and I even saw a couple of brand new enemies. I am definitely down for picking it up.

 

[orangpelupa]

@shredenvain
which one is the new enemy? i watched the video a few times but i did not found new enemy

 

[orangpelupa]

OMG!!!!!!!!! from the trailer theres a 3 secs scene showing

THE DOOR TO THE COLONIAL SHIP IS OPEN~!!!!!!! It also have NEW RAMP

 

[Rangers]

The trailer is very exciting, as usual, we will feel underwhelmed later as usual as we will be playing in the same old places, as usual !

and it will be full of glitches as usual, expensive as usual, have a story that goes nowhere as usual. But hopefully dont have overlevelled enemy as usual (since TDB and HoW).

 

[Rangers]

It has a new planet I guess, Phobos. Plus the Hive ship.

Taken King Vidoc:

Can't wait!

 

[shredenvain]

I beat skolas today for the first time. I got the chipher. I plan on getting the queenbreaker's bow. The fight is so much more manageable now that adds spawn at health intervals. It still isn't easy, but there aren't constant majors coming out to almost 1 hit you. I played skolas 2 times before the latest patch and couldn't beat him. The burns not being there means no one shots. Nightfall loot sucked this time though. I got a lucky raspberry that I already have and a legendary engram that turned into the read hand 9 which isn't bad.

 

[orangpelupa]

seems they do opening the colony ship. or at least its "base area"

4 Skolas clears now here, still zero HoW elemental primaries.

Skolas is really just exactly a raid boss. He's the same as Crota or Atheon, just as complex mechanics, just as difficult. So I'm not sure even why people would complain about no raid. I like POE better really.

Now that you have to do Skolas mechanics, yeah you can get into those 2+ hour sessions with him. However like hard mode Crota (shudder) he'll just get easier over time.

Here's my general POE loadouts:

Hive: Vision, Black Hammer (for wizards/long range DPS, shotguns not as necessary on Hive), Gally (top Hive threat is the Wizards with fire shields).
Fallen: Fatebringer (or sometimes Praedyth's timepiece when I want more long range precision but less DPS), Found Verdict (great for Captains/Vandals), Gally
Cabal: Vision, Solar Secret Handshake, Gally
Vex: Vision (although not void, that only matters on Prats which you switch to void shotty, for most vex you need long range precision to hit their crit spot), Void Two to The Morgue, Gally

I used to run more fusion rifles in POE, but as time has gone on it's become apparent a shotty or sniper is usually more effective, if not downright indispensable such as Found Verdict on 35 POE.

Sometimes I try to experiment with non Gally loadouts, but they're usually just not as effective. For example I tried to experiment with Vex Mythoclast as my primary when "specialist" is the modifier since it counts as a special, and switching out my "Dreamwaker" solar RL with tracking, but Dreamwaker really just barely dents 34/35 captains. I think you're clearly better off running FB/FV/Gally as usual on specialist. I'm honestly not even sure Truth in place of Gally on void burns is a win.

 

[orangpelupa]

my strategy - do the heavy ammo exploit for EVERY ROOM (especially boss room) and DONT WIPE.

so by the time you reach boss battle, you have heavy ammo all across the floor

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Oh My God ! How much I love and hate Destiny at the same time ! What have you made Bungie, you brilliant people !

 

[orangpelupa]

@RenegadeRocks but as we suspected, The Taken King also have a bunch of reused content dialed to 11.

Reused on Venus
- Campus 9
- Endless Steps
- VoG

Locked content on Venus unlocked with TKK.
- The Sekrion Revival strike (i have seen the pathway when i glitched through geometry).

frankly i dont care with locked content. It is still NEW when TKK come out. But i simply dislike reusing contents. Even worse on TKK, some of the reused places are not in reverse. Its just the usual roadways.

the good thing is TKK will have lots of new contents, not just reused contents. Unlike HoW that have sooooooooooooo many reused content.
