Good Hunter, what... what is this post?

Rick_Hunter posted:


Six dogs, actually. Can't remember all the names (Ta'aurc, B'ael, Tou'aurg(?), 3 others).


Yeah that makes sense. 5 didn't seem right to me.

I think I was conflating the ones that hang out around near right and drain, and then somehow missed it while looking for it during a howl (maybe someone was beating it up)

I'm not sure I follow you on getting to drain- the path we took was to go through the middle, then through canyon's entrance that has the tree, then cut right and get to the drain. If you book it you can make it before any dogs get there and then immediately reverse course back to mid-canyon entrance. You're saying to go to canyon's entrance nearer the corner- or go to middle then all the way through canyon- and then follow the dog as it moves along the wall towards drain?


oh yeah additional tip:

two dogs start in the safe room, so you don't want to stand by the ground level doors when first activating the event. Get up top and wait a second before dropping through the hatch.

It turned into a 50mb update... what?

If you're on PS4 that's not actually 6.2gb, it's just how Sony patches their games. It's 'preparing' the 6.2gb of data to receive the patch which is actually only about 50mb or so.

That is how Bungie patches its turds, Jesus loving Christmas. They should have dropped this system since Ps4 is loving slow at calculating the crc and if for some reason reason the file is corrupt then it makes you re-download everything

Does it still take all night to load a map in their editor to move a resource a couple inches?

Haha, gently caress me. I joined a Guided Nightfall and we blitzed through it together, with seven minutes on the clock - of course because I don't have a regular fireteam my Rat King questline hadn't been advanced past the first stage, so that performance didn't count for anything.

:negative:

Run a few of them now and I still don't understand the aversion to having more open matchmaking for Nightfalls.

What they should have done is implement a sort of matchmaking board in-game, where you'd post yourself or your group and then get to choose who you group with. This would remove the gigantic hassle of having to find people on third party sites and then add them to your friend list while still keeping the idea of having to be social to complete harder content.

Yeah, that'd be workable.

I just I'm just a little sour because the playtime where I have access to VOIP doesn't give a lot of flexibility for stuff such as raids, so I'm pretty reliant on random in-game matchmaking. I got annoyed with the first Destiny because I missed out on quite a bit of story due to running in the No Raid Group wall.

Doing CRC in arbitrary blocks (maybe 1MB or any other size) is trivial.

This show how little Sony care about the internet.

A fat guy in his mother basement writting a torrent tool put more trough on this than all the developers of the PSN. We pay, but we are not the customers. Their objective is winning internal office politics.

bungie should have just copied the100.io system, maybe tie it into the app or whatever.

but that would go against their vision for the game which is basically burning crusade era wow.

It seems like doing it guided counts for nothing, neither milestone nor trophy, so I'm not really sure what the point is beyond just seeing it.

It fulfils the trophy and milestone, or I just got really lucky with a glitch and the game took pity on me.

Oh it does? Cool. The game seems to list them as separate so I didn't think so.

Reading up on the raid and that Cabal booklet, the Emperor sounds like a pretty cool dude. He's Hedonismbot and helping you out! Sort of.

The psn being fragile poo poo does not discount the fact that Bungie loves to live dangerously. If the patch gets corrupted because light goes out and the Fs journal did not save the correct checkpoint then you have to re-download everything from launch day. It is not how it worked on vanilla through house of wolves. Bongo has to take their part on the shame train.

If you can't talk you can't raid, there's honestly nothing to be sour about other than whatever circumstances keep you from being able to communicate.

MAYBE A DINGO ATE YOUR K/D
Got it done. Finally killed the last fucker and completed the raid.

All up got a helm, chest, scout and pulse.

Without giving anything away i will say this, i got the most dps in all segments of the raid using this setup. Its godly:

Striker. Top skill tree with double pulse nades (they are amazing for any dps). Full auto shotty for all encounters except last, where i used a high impact sniper. Sweet business and auto rifle secondary with the titan chest that reloads your auto rifles from inventory.

Its hard as hell. Good luck to anyone trying a full run. Took us 12 hours as 6x 290+ players who are all 2.5+ pvp kders.

Would be literally impossible with lfg.

I can talk, just not at the times a primarily US based raiding group makes my UK playtime reliable, hth.

I dislike story content and the like being tucked away in group content, and that's the extent of my complaint. In a game that's mostly pretty open it's a bit of a downer.

You kill a robot that looks Iike him. You literally pull the boss by shooting his wine goblet from his hand. After he dies he tries to convince you to join him and says some stuff that implies you'll get to fight him for real later, then opens the treasure room where you see that there are many, many robots just like the one you just fought. It's pretty cool, but I only saw it on stream since I'm out of town this week.

90% of the game's content is available for you without having to communicate with others and I'm sorry that's not good enough for you. If you can't find a goon group that raids at an ideal time for you then Bungie.net has an lfg system.

LFG doesn't have a functionality for raids. Sorry your status as a tier 1 pro raider is threatened by a mild complaint of mine, I guess.

Lmao dude, it's not 'elitism,' it's "can you communicate y/n?" The raids require you to talk and have precise coordination so no, you can't just shuffle along with no mic unless you have achieved literal symbiosis with your raid group.

My bad, I guess there are still like three third party lfg sites to choose from then. Maybe when you move out of your mom's house you won't feel so much pressure to keep the noise down and you can finally see a raid. Good luck!
