Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

I had a fun L23 Strike the other night where there were two Titans and 1 warlock (I think). Both of us Titans were Striker specced and this was devils lair. We kept chaining off each other's orbs of light and were able Fist Of Havoc our way into every room one after the other. Even the tank went down fast thought I think that was because we were all using the correct element (fire?). The last boss took forever though since none of us equipped void damaged which I think it is weak to.

Still I can't wait to see what happens when organized groups work together to chain orbs of light and specials. Defender Titan + Gift of the Void allows the bubble to generate Orbs of Light when it receives damage. I can't wait to get that talent and try it since the bubble takes an assload of damage when you pop it up during a boss fight. Boss fights would be a hell of a lot more fun if you could combo abilities to chain specials with a skilled group and end the boss fights earlier.


Also I want to see if a speed specced hunter Arc Blade group can chain arc blades off each other and clear missions out in record time.

I'm not sure I got anything from all those redeem codes. Where should those items be?

Mailbox on your first guardian, special items vendor for any alts you make.

We run 2 titans, and one Sunsinger in my set group, and piledrive the strikes.
If you can communicate the cooldowns you do serious damage constantly.

Man, the luke warm response from the people reviewing this game kind of baffles me, especially seeing as how I'm REALLY enjoying this. I mean, sure, the game isn't exactly the life changing experience Bungie was hyping to up to be, but surely the game come out as way above average when actually judged on its own merits.

On the other hand though, I really hope this becomes sort of a Diablo 3 situation, where support for this game will even better after the current response it's getting, especially given the decade long plan they claim to have for the franchise.

This is what I think bungie keeps talking about when it comes to end game. Without communication you can't pull that stuff off. It's not really gonna happen in a matchmaker. You need to have the right weapons BEFORE you start the strike/raid. And coordinating specials adds a whole new level of gameplay that is just not found pre lvl20

Hoping to get the daily heroic done this weekend. Tonight ill mostly be playing by myself solo q'ing for strikes

Catch me up on this. Heroic strikes are the same difficulty as queuing up for the third option is the strike playlist, right? The level 22 dungeons?

Anyone else get the impression we shouldn't have been able to make Awoken or Exo player characters until later but they changed their mind for player appearance diversity?

Nah, they are on a different level entirely. We wiped repeatedly on the heroic and more or less breezed through the 22 afterwards.

Ah alright, cheers.

Oh, and, aren't the awoken and exo guardians just people that died during the golden age, who then got infused with "the light" by ghosts? That's how I understood it at least.

Probably need a group of 25s to even get near doing the heroic strikes. God damn snipers nearly 1 shots level 24s. I guess if you could synergize correctly, there may be a chance at 22 or 23 but it would be very difficult.

That thing is indeed the truth
