So the warpriest challenge is to do exactly what we've been doing since the raid came out :pac:

The latest info on the warpriest challenge is that : you need different aura holders each time.
Deaths, number of phases do not matter. If you fail but still kill him, you can run it again and the challenge loot will drop.
There are also reports that it is not account based - so you can do it on each of your characters if you do it correctly.

I thought you had to kill him in two phases or On the second monolith?

No, just need to have different aura holders apparently which is what I'm pretty sure most people do anyway.

You lads up for giving it a blast tonight ? I'll be on around 7.30.

well, i would think in general it would depend on which plate is the last. I would have thought most people would have a designated aura holder per plate. So at the moment if the right plate, for example, was last twice, there is a good chance it is going to be the same person jumping on both times.

Not necessarily - usually teams have the a player dedicated to each of the plates. So if the glyph sequence finishes on the same plate during the challenge run, another player will need to step on it and get the aura.

True, but as long as there's two people on each plate it shouldn't be an issue. Most groups won't even need a third aura at this stage, only risk is if the aura holder dies and it randomly picks someone who already held it.

nocal

You would need to pay attention to the plate that the glyph reader comes from. But then if the reader is from the top left (from the entrance) plate, you should be good as this always seems to be the very first plate you need to step on the first time around.

I'll explain it better in party chat but it was like my account went into some sort of zombie setting. Neither active or deactive.

anything about different rewards for normal or heroic mode? Is one of the missing calcified fragments linked to this ?

310 rewards for normal, 320 for hard.

An *emblem* is also rewarded along with a calcified fragment.

From Reddit

---
and the rewards seem to be:

Calcified fragment
Emblem
310 artifact (NM drop), 320 artifact (HM drop)
Max light weapon drop (310 for NM drop, 320 for HM drop)
as usual, you can get NM and HM drops simultaneously

should be on aswell later tonight

Complete crucible daily on 3 different days bounty is bugged, just completed in one go by playing three matches.

Mitch Connor

the five bounties one bugged for me. picked it up and immediately had 4/5 completed. Just played two games and boom, weekly crucible bounty done.

Only got a 306 ash factory from it though.

I've had the kill 2 guardians in 1 life bounty for about a week now. It won't complete.

A 320 artifact would be great. I also need 3 more calcified fragments for the ToM quest.

Similar has happened to me - I think last week my hunter had 2/5 completed as soon as I picked it up.

I love these new time-saving features that have been added to the game!

Not bad for 2 games of PvP

I'm of the understanding that that Bounty and another about killing an enemy another player has assisted you with (or vice versa) are limited to Rumble, despite there being no indicator that is the case. EDIT: I believe the bounty is called "Mine"

That or a few of them are bugged.
