On Telstro and The Chaperone, I seen someone comment that one of them may go in the primary slot. Considering they showed an exotic for each class, and we know that Sleep Simulant is used in the heavy slot, it would make some sense to be showing an exotic for each slot.

The Chaperone would be the most likely of the two seeing as it fires slugs rather than buckshot. The Telstro on the other hand seems like it will be a mine launcher seeing that it has projectiles that have a delayed void explosion.

No Back Up Plans is ascending? Why do I think my Year 2 Guardian is going to be kitted out in gear I never used?

Mitch Connor

Absolutely stank it up in Iron Banner yesterday.

Was involved in one epic match which ended 20040 to 20035 after me and three others captured a point (for 300 points to put us over the top) JUST before the other team got a kill which would have won them the game. Never seen it as close before!

Big thanks to ibfoxer and ferrigan for the runthough on skolas, took just under 2.5 hours from start to finish.

It's definitely a tense enough affair, the second set of mines ratchets the pressure up a notch too.

More than welcome, quite an enjoyable run. Personally had a ropey start but I think when we all hit our stride it was space magic, and that one wipe aside it was pretty cut and dry.

Them new exotic armours all look really cool, perks are really crap on most of them though. That Warlock chest one in particular. Weapons sound decent though.

I think so too.... was very underwhelmed tbh.

Even that shotgun sounds great but will probably be a total damp-squib, it sounds like the 4th Horseman but worse

Sleeper Simulant DOES look badass though. My understanding is that there's quest steps involved in procuring one?

AdamD

Yeah they're quite weak so far, wonder if its an intentional move.

This one I'm confused about. If Sleeper Simulant needs 50 relic pieces to be collected (as rumoured), what's the point if Xur is going to sell it? If it requires a quest chain to acquire, it should never be in Xur's "Random" rotation.

Unless you get the quest off him? That way you wouldn't have to rely on it dropping like Thorn etc.

I would simply assume that Bungie were using Xur to show off some of the new exotics, rather than it being a confirmation that these are exotics Xur will sell.

Also could be that the final step of getting it is buying it from Xur but for him to have it in his merchandise, you must have the quest and completed all the tasks up til then - much like one of the Eris quests that require you to buy an urn of Xur.

Yeah, never thought of it being sold at end of the quest. Makes more sense that way I suppose

Is there any interest in going into the new raid blind? I'll watch the streams, but I don't think they ever do the raids. I'd like to go in and give it a shot at puzzle solving with 80 wipes! We have all the time in the world to breeze through it backwards once we understand it, but not many oppertunities to go in fresh , not knowing what's coming next, or how to pass it.

Yeah I did this for Crota. First death occured 10 seconds in as I lept on a bridge that wasn't there. The lamps took us 17 minutes to get to the bridge where we were promptly wiped out by an unusually large Ogre. Got through it the second time but got confused on the bridge part and called it a night.
By the time I came back in the next day the guys had miraculously discovered how to complete it. Was great fun though.

I'm planning on hitting the new raid blind - or at least without having watched any of it prior. I may not get into one of the first boards.ie groups going so maybe by the time I do get into a group some of them will already have attempted it or beaten it.

You were cast out into the wilderness for weeks after your early adoption of the cheese strategies.
My team was having none of your filth after you'd succumbed to N0cals team of lactose-lovers

I'm happy enough to wait. Wanna do the story 1st (Like you, me and CDB did when HoW launched) take my time experiencing the whole lot.
Maybe start the Raid on the Friday after work or something

Thats my plan too - I've taken that week off work (HA!) so will plan on getting the story done at least once on the Tuesday and go from there. I've a wedding meeting on for the Wednesday afternoon, but basically all tuesday then wednesday through to the weekend will be mostly destiny. For the raid though I reckon i'll try and sync up with yourself and a few others and plan a proper time to start - so I can pre-warn the other half that whatever eveing is RAID NIGHT!

Ahaha actually, I was playing with some of you guys - without cheese at the beginning. i remember a few evening in a row trying to pass the bridge, after having no idea what happened in the abyss
At that stage, I went and try to cheese stuff by myself with some stranger - and milked Crota's End as much as I could!
Soloing the Abyss ( first with lamp impulse, then with the stupid jump. ), cheesing the bridge and the death singer, Pulling the cable with Crota ... it was a good way to get some fast loot
I think I started playing more with NoCal and Co when HardMode came on

I wonder if the misses would mind me bringing the PSP with me when going to meet the wedding co-ordinator....

Is there a level requirement to access the raid or just a case of better off being lvl40? Will the story get us to 40 has anyone heard or will it be gear that gets us to it?

Depends on how they do the raid.

If there are normal and hard versions it will be likely the hard version is basically a no-go (at first) without most being level 40, but I would imagine the normal version will be doable (if not a little difficult) either immediately or fairly soon.

Cool. Would be nice to give it a go when other folk haven't a clue either. Less pressure.

Ask him what level he is

Would be interested in going into the raid blind, but would want some time to level up at least one character and experience the new story missions, strikes, and crucible maps etc.

This sounds like it calls for a LIST!!!!

Proper Blind Runners:

• Me
• Conovar
• Petking
• Conor (whoever you are)
• Petking
• Wes
• Usagi San

"Blind" Runs (where in actuality you've done half the raid and watched the other half on youtube) :pac:
