Any clue if it's exotic or what it MAY bring?

No really, it's "No Time to Explain", the exotic pulse rifle that looks like the Stranger's Rifle (at least all signs point to this anyway). The quest sections are titled after other Stranger quotes

Yea read that right after I posted

Anyone confirm you had to get the extra ghosts first?

Some confusion on reddit about that part. I haven't done that yet so I may not be explaining until later.

I'm at work, but my Tower Ghost app shows a classified quest on my hunter but not the other two characters. I picked up the ghosts on my hunter.

Do not go to scan Praedyth's body when you kill the boss. Instead, go to the jumping puzzle and do the alternate ending. When done you get a ghost to turn in for the quest.

If you want to wait, I have a signup for Thursday. There's a raid tonight and tomorrow, plus coop night tonight, so I figured Thursday would allow those to still happen and then have plenty of folks to run VoG with.

any sort of time limit to this quest?

I'm guessing it's just like the first quest for Sleeper Simulant. You only needed to do the first mission of that on the right day.

Also keep in mind that there is a pre-req for this quest, which is that you obtained the FWC ghost shell in the Paradox mission when it was a daily. I'm not sure if you turn in that ghost shell by doing the daily today (Paradox again), whether you could immediately gain the next part of the quest or you would have to wait again.

Just ran Paradox and got the cult shell. Turned it into the creepy FWC lady and then nada. Went to orbit and back still nada.

Selling your soul to FWC and "Donating" motes to their silly ideals doesn't help either. Now I'm out 60 motes and supporting these guys for a week.

It might open up tomorrow.

That's what happened for me with Sleeper Simulant. I did the first part of the mission, and obtained the Fusion Core, but I didn't do all the events for it that night. The next day, when the Sleeper Simulant quest opened up, I finished upgrading the Core and turned it into Banshee and nothing happened until the next day.

So hopefully once the daily reset happens, those of us that grab the shell today will have the questline waiting for us tomorrow.

by Blackt1g3r @, Login is from an untrusted domain in MN, Tuesday, October 20, 2015, 17:26 (3560 days ago) @ bluerunner

Are these quests already in the game, but time-boxed? Or perhaps manually enabled on the server-side? Did they sneak it in the last update?

Avatar

Darn it.

by cheapLEY @, Tuesday, October 20, 2015, 17:49 (3560 days ago) @ bluerunner

I missed picking up the Ghosts when Paradox was the daily. I couldn't log on and do it that day. ):

Hopefully this comes back around, soon.

This is where I start to have problems with how they are doing some of these things. I'm okay with the way they did the Black Spindle. It's self-contained. But now with the Sleeper Simulant and this quests, if I don't do something, I'm locked out of the next step that won't happen for weeks.

So now, if I grab the Ghosts next time Paradox is the daily, how long will I have to wait after that to be able to do these quests?

It's making me feel like I'm being punished for not being able to play Destiny every day.

I'm usually not one for posts like this, and I haven't really felt this way before. I missed the Black Spindle the first time it came around, and I'm okay with that. But now it just seems like it's going to be the trend.

This is hardly better than random drops for getting exotics. It's not dependent on the player actually doing anything, it's just dependent on Bungie flipping a switch to turn it on. If you can't play the day they happen to flip that switch, then you're just out of luck until they decided to flip it again in a few weeks.

I was planning on taking a break from Destiny soon anyway, with Halo 5 coming out, so I guess it's not a huge deal, but this just makes me feel shitty in a weird way that I've never felt about Destiny before.

EDIT: And now I see that Paradox is the Daily today, so maybe that rant was all for nothing, and I'll look like an idiot.

Even if it can be easily obtained, it is a time gated event. They kind of implied they wouldn't do these. I agree with you in that it's hardly better than random drops. I actually think it's worse, personally, but I'm in an extreme minority there.

Xenos has one for later, but a lot of us are doing the raid, so we will still be jumping around on thrusting cocks when his starts.

Mars is pretty good. Go to the area (Buried City?) where you can go underground into the train tunnels. Before you actually go underground, there's a Taken event that happens in that location, the Taken Lieutenants in that area are Minotaurs.

by Funkmon @, Wednesday, October 21, 2015, 01:38 (3560 days ago) @ bluerunner

This thing is good. I preferred the stranger's rifle perks, but for those good at the game, this ammo regen perk will be much better for you.

It's not as stable as the stranger's rifle, but still good enough. Reasonable recoil pattern.

It appears to be built for the raid, since precision hits come back to you. I just held the button down on warpriest for 45 seconds, almost no correction for recoil. However, for the second half, it will get replaced by Touch of Malice, obv. First half it's good.

It's very worth putting forth the effort.

Stranger's Rifle perks?

by someotherguy, Hertfordshire, England, Wednesday, October 21, 2015, 07:39 (3559 days ago) @ Funkmon

Aren't they basically the same? Full Auto, 3 almost imperceptible stat changes, then rewind?

Avatar

Mostly rewind.

by Funkmon @, Wednesday, October 21, 2015, 09:37 (3559 days ago) @ someotherguy

The perks on Stranger's rifle could get you much more stability, and rewind was different. It would return missed shots, and it would fairly regularly double proc, GIVING you extra ammo. Sometimes you'd go up 9 if you were lucky. Since I used it as an auto rifle, many of my shots used to miss, and I wouldn't worry about it. Now I need to make every shot count. It's a much less mindless gun. You have to monitor its stability and you have to aim more.

Again, people may like this better. I am a bad player who doesn't like complicated stuff.

where to jump from first ghost?

by Acheron, Wednesday, October 21, 2015, 02:55 (3559 days ago) @ bluerunner

So being a bad jumper I have tried 4 times jumping down to the templar area after picking up the first dead ghost. However I cannot find the way and keep dieing meaning I lose the ghost pickup. Any videos of the jumping? Wont be able to do it until the next time the story is up.
