Is this really correct? I ask because when we do Oryx, me (holding the relic, people are apparently afraid of the "huge" responsibiliby of jumping on platforms....) and the spare usualy dont hit Oryx at all. We spend our time cleaning out the add spawns so the guys running to and from the bombs dont get wasted while semi-blind, and this has worked flawlessly so far. We get Oryx to the shade stage at the second relic and usualy kill him at the 4th. Never noticed that the DPS was lacking doing this.

I ran it with two PUGS this weekend and we got to the second boss, which sounds shitty until you take into account that the first PUG was 4 kids who sounded like they were in middle school. Second one was actually pretty good but we spent way too long trying to figure out why the switch puzzle wasn't opening the chest for us and lost some people. Good thing about both was that it gave me time to learn the two fights fairly well.
Anyway: if anybody is interested in raiding on friday/saturday nights message me and I'll give you my PSN name. I'm a 294 warlock.

If you detonate really quickly after he stagger falls, like within 7 seconds, then it doesn't matter. but yeah groups that take longer (most Pugs) need the center people to keep shooting his chest to keep it open for the bombs to hit him.
just did my morning draksis 3OC 10 minute farm run and on my second kill got two exotic engrams to drop on one kill. pretty cool. got my 5th 310 supercell.
Iron Banner starts tomorrow, ToO this weekend, and many people think Oryx Hard mode will unlock friday.\
this was a good pic listing all the loot you can get from kings fall

This seems right. I got into another Oryx pug last night and we killed him in one go. Some differences from the previous pug; One person had ToM, 4 people were in the 300-304 range (rather than 2), detonations happened quickly, and we didn't have someone stand on the last platform during the relic run so it allowed another floater to burn down ogres. Oryx gave me a shitty 307 hand cannon (awful perks), but it allowed me to hit 301...which let me turn in all the exotics I'd saved up the past week. Those turned into a 310 monte carlo, 2 310 warlock chests (voidfang / starfire...sucky ones) all the rest were 290s. I used the 310's exotics and the 307 hand cannon to raise my preferred primary (hung jury to 310, and my Alchemist Raiment to 310). Sitting at 303 now, so not bad.
If people know what they are doing the raid takes an hour.
I don't understand how people can't get their own ogre down. Even when I am on the last platform where I don't need to stand I stay up there anyways for better line of sight on everything and I get my ogre down solo quite easily.

Ah, never done it in a pug so have yet to run into that problem. Thank you for the explanation.

Yeah. I guess my experience was with a group where 2 knew the fights, and everyone else was learning. We got to Oryx, but it was a 7pm-1am ordeal with one 30 minute break.
I'm now on Oryx and know about 3/4ths of the fight. I do know enough that when I tried a few pugs yesterday afternoon, I had a 12 year old kid screaming out that he needed help with his ogre I just peaced out of that group.
When is the raid reset? Tuesday? Man, I doubt I'll be able to beat Oryx tonight. It would be nice to do that, but unlikely.
I took the day off for Columbus day so I might be online and able to help with a raid. Send a friend request to a_skeleton_03 on PS4.
The Chargers are playing tonight at 8:30 EST so I should be in my chair watching that and on the PS4 also so let's say oh around 8 PM EST tonight I will post in here and be online and we we will see what we have available.

Hm, new patch out:
Players can now reroll Stat nodes and Upgrade nodes on Exotic armor via the ?Twist Fate? node
Twist Fate will require Glimmer, Armor materials, and a Glass Needle, which will be available from Xur during his weekly visits (Nice)
Sources for Motes of Light have been adjusted:
From completing Public Events have been increased by approximately 100%
From earning XP post-40 have been increased from 3 -> 5
From Faction Rep packages have been reduced from 5 -> 4
From dismantling Rare and Legendary Items have been reduced by approximately 25-30%
From Daily Vanguard and Crucible Bounties have been reduced by approximately 50%
Sources for Strange Coins have been adjusted:
From Faction Rep packages have been reduced from 5 -> 4
From Daily Vanguard and Crucible Bounties have been reduced by approximately 50%
Weapon Parts from dismantling Uncommon or Rare Weapons have been reduced by around 25%
Weapon Part turn-ins at Factions increased from +50 Rep to +75 Rep per turn-in
Materials recovered by Ghost Extractor upgrades reduced (but still guaranteed)
^Sucks.

That "unlimited" motes thing was going to get neutered sooner rather than later. The other nerfs suck bad.

It sucks, but I could totally see them nerfing SC droprates. They are just too common and drop from everything it seems. I get SC from engrams, 3SC from crucible, SC from dailies, strike playlists... I have over 180 when I just spent a ton buying 50 3oC and heavy ammo packs.
As to the weapon mats, I have no idea why they are nerfing those. I hear people bitching all the time how they are always out upgrading their shit. All the meanwhile I have about 500 armor parts.
