Considering that the price of the limited edition is the same as Destiny 1, I wonder if this means these 2 expansions are expected in the first year.

Wife has already preordered this for PS4 too even without seeing the gameplay

The biggest competitive games are on PC. This game isn't exactly catering to the MLG crowd, though.

The Division is doing great on PC, so I'm going to be surprised if it dies fast. It's not a tired franchise like COD.

Are we sure Amazon hasn't already put up and sold out of the collector edition? I saw it listed earlier but unavailable, now it's just not there at all.

Gamestop guy didn't mention the $99 version and I pre-ordered the $250 verison. After seeing what's actually in it.. I hope I can go back tomorrow and change it to the $99 version. The ghost for the original collector edition was pretty awesome. What the gently caress am I going to do with a messenger bag and a survival blanket?

Also if you can get the $99 one and keep the $250 (for PS4) PM me?

This is the absolute best time for someone brand new to get into Destiny. The fact that you haven't done any raids lumps you in with those new people.

Got the Husk at the Shrine on my first try... right after doing Crota tonight. But I lucked out with one that only needed thrall. Guess my Warlock will be running Crota again this week unless another character gets a Husk

I assume my Warlock just do a Crota checkpoint, or do I need the whole raid?

You need abyss and crota both 390 mode, omnigul too. For omingul you can use the 320 strike from the director.

Beat the Crota challenge in two cycles, me and another titan used a weapons bubble to increase sword damage and get orbs for the super. I did about 65% on mine and he finished it. Also tex did the golden gun thing. Good times

Yo guys the weapons bubble on the stairs outside the right door/invis razelighter to down strat is by far the best way to do Crota challenge.

I almost dropped him in one sword, and it's definitely possible to do it. And the absolute best part is that you never have to worry about heavy synths!!!

I'm not even kidding it almost makes crota a pleasurable experience. It's really hard to gently caress it up once everyone knows how it goes.

Yeah bone krew had a post run breakdown where we wondered why we hadn't always done it like this.

It makes sense that we didn't, considering that without swords, without smoke, and without the need to never drop the sword it was always easiest to just have the bladedancer go do his invis thing in the center.

With the new tools we have and with the added challenge conditions you're insane not to use the nightstalker/razelighter/weaponsbubble method.

Yeah it was harder than now. We had 1-2 bubbles at the top of the stairs, and then everyone would step or jump out and shoot rockets as the sword-bearer ran at Crota. Since you're so close you didn't have to account for rocket travel time and it was easier to coordinate. Then sword guy backs off back to the bubbles, everyone reloads and chills, repeat. Move to other side.

However it was kind of a clusterfuck getting 5 people to not hit each other or the bubble especially if we only had one titan. And sometimes if the sword-bearer's timing was off or someone was too close Crota would aggro and smash everyone.

Now it sounds... easier?

We haven't done the new version yet but I think and am 100% confident that we will get it first try zero problems :yarg:




actually I do have two questions-
I know Crota summons an oversoul everytime he kneels, but does he still enrage at low health?

and also is the chest still there at the end of the thrallway after bridge? what's in it?

There was always that one guy you had to ban from using a rocket launcher because he would always blast himself inside a bubble.

You don't need gjally anymore, just one weapons razelighter will down him. We had one guy pop a rocket anyway as we run up just to be safe.

Yes he enrages still, same situation as before where you can damage him too much. Which is dumb.

I don't know about the chests I'm just in it for the exotic primaries and ornaments :dukedoge:

no no, yeah. You don't need g-horn now, but that's how we did it pre-TTK.

So that's why it's easier, because shooting an oversoul is easier than coordinating 5 rockets, and having smoke bombs is better than bladedancer melee or no invis

A hunter with dual melee smoke nades and the swordbearer go hide down in the right ogre tower. Other four stay up at the right exit door.

Wait for crota to rotate to the right door.

When he rotates the swordbearer and hunter kill the sword guy and grab sword. Head up the stairs to the right door.

While this is going on and once the sword has been picked up, a Titan will put a weapons bubble with the extra bonus perk at the top of the right stairs. You can run out and slide from the doorframe, you'll end up in the right spot and crota won't slam you.

Hunter and swordbearer go inside the bubble, hunter smokes both, they both run out to crota right there. Hunter raze lights crota with the power attack, he goes down in one hit. The swordbearer can nail crota as soon as the uppercut power attack connects. You can get four slams. Or a bunch of combos. Because you're right there and invis when he's getting dropped there's room for error.

As soon as the hunter hits his uppercut, he retreats to the bubble. The swordbearer runs back after his slams. Repeat the smoke and uppercut and slams.

The four people inside worry about the oversoul.

After this ogres will probably spawn, they seem to be keyed to damage. Kill them so the sword knight will respawn.

If you killed ogres quickly enough (one raze lighter guy to each tower basement should be enough) you can repeat this process on Croats next left rotation ftw. Otherwise just wait out his next right rotation and swap in a new swordbearer.

It's loving awesome because it doesn't necessitate a ton of gjally shots, the boomers and wizard aren't problems and it's not prone to weird fuckups from having to jump to the platform.

The only downside is you need a hunter and a Titan and specific gear.
