Got myself tons of nice new gear, 320 chest piece, 319 gloves, 320 cloak, 320 artifact, smite of Merrian and more. It was as definitely worth it (hard mode) and I can't wait to jump straight back in again.

I believe I heard Knave saying it as you listed off all your loot... You jammy bastard!!

Oh I don't know, I'm sure there was some skill involved somewhere along the way.....not really though. I hadn't finished it in NM so maybe it was overcompensating or something?!

He (Oryx) got the best reach around of his life last night. I'm sure he's still bragging about it.

Sierra 117

Hit level 50 with Rahool and he finally gave me the God of War shader. It sucks that some shaders are in the hands of RNG, especially when the drop rate is so low.

Oh Jaysus I'd forgotten about that

I am dying today, that bloody "Lost hour" was a kick in the balls. Made the whole experience 6.5 hours long.

Delighted we got him done though, love raids like that where you finally get it all to sync up

As you can see, the team that grabs B-first wins more often (got this in my Bungie e-mail)

Mitch Connor

Only 3 people needed to cap a point at max speed - so possible tactic is 1 person on your spawn capture point, 3 to point B and the remaining 2 provide cover for the people capturing B.

It's crazy..... but it just might work

Make sure to get your 3x top-3 places in Mayhem Rumble now before IB takes it's place at ~6pm cause it will be booted out in favour of IB

Kimbot

So I guess I'll be on IB all week so :P

Got a lot of Exotic drops over the weekend out of 3oC strangely enough and it was a rate of 1 in 4 they were dropping.
Guess my 3oC wont work now for a few months haha

Actually by using a super dooper sexy table I was able to work out that the clan wont get any drops until the 3rd of June......... :pac:

Funny hearing everyone giving out about the 3oC during the raid that it messes up the loot drops etc.

Generic Dreadhead

Yeah, it's funny when people talk rubbish

I should know, I talk a lot of rubbish

:pac:

It's like making everyone gather around the exotic chest in VOG and opening at exactly the same time, also not touching any other chest and being EXTREMELY anal about.

The Nightfall is a handy one this week, small arms + arc burn = Zhalo Supercell. Vex consumable yolk for more glimmer and a chance for the Imago Loop to drop.

Generic Dreadhead

Sweet, I've been wanting a new Sparrow Horn

Or a sweet, sweet Vanguard ghost!

That's actually the worst reward I can think of... This is like going to work and being paid in lottery tickets.

Well if I scratched off a 250,000 card today I would be happy :P

15 3oC saves you 21 Strange Coins :P

Hail 2 Da Chimp

That's the point - they didn't even give Strange Coins. Strange Coins are used for other things:
Buying Exotic weapons or armour.
Buying Exotic engrams to use as infusion fuel.
Buying Synths - for game play.
Buying Synths - which can be used to power level a faction.
Buying 3oCs.

3oC are only used for 1 thing - grinding playlists activity.

When you're rewarded with 3oC they're basically saying "Congrats on running that gruelling game mode, now go grind Crucible / Strike playlist for the chance of an actual reward."

It just goes to further prove the NF reward system is really broken.
