Once I figured out the cadence and recoil pattern I haven’t used a different scout rifle on my hunter. Plus it has one of the better if not best looking scopes. Oh and outlaw, can’t forget outlaw.

Yes please! (reply)

Strikes in D2 (reply)

cheapLEY — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 02:55:01 +0000

I really, really like the Strikes in D2. I think they're fantastic.

Honestly, I'd love to see a version of the game that focused on them more. While some complained about the way they were implemented in Curse of Osiris (myself included), I think if the game at large was constructed that way, it might be better off for it.

Imagine a version of Destiny where most mainline story missions are Strikes, and what we have as story missons now are just more Adventures thrown about the map.

I wish the strikes where integrated better, given more context than just jumping into a playlist, and I wish there were a whole lot more of them. I always have fun when I play them, be it with randos or with friends.

Is that a Garden Progeny? Man, I was SO happy when I got that thing. I love high-impact scout rifles in theory (that was always what I ran on my Nightstalker in D1), but somehow I'd never managed to find one in D2 that didn't have a stupid perk or crappy sights, until that first prophecy tablet. And I hadn't looked up what prophecy tablets were before that, so I had NO idea it was coming. AND, through some magic, it just happened to match the color scheme I had already done on my Nightstalker armor. It was just too perfect.

Point of clarification (reply)

Robot Chickens — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 01:45:08 +0000

I know it was also under 11 minutes left.

The timer in the bottom right corner of the strike is a countdown timer. It starts at 22 min and goes down from there. The Post Game Carnage Report timer is a a time elapsed counter. It starts from 0 and goes up.

My best countdown time had 11:08 seconds on the clock (shown as 10:52 elapsed). Our time with you had 10:40ish seconds on the countdown clock (would have been 11:20ish seconds).

When you ran with us, you gave us our best time at that moment. We got a little better. :-)

This Week's Nightfall is amazing (reply)

Claude Errera — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 01:43:46 +0000

So I kinda unofficially kept times in my head as benchmarks to see where we would end up finishing and the opening sequence from dropdown to door open is like 1:30ish, our best boss clear was 1:39 seconds, the knight and sniper room was a 2 minute clear. There are definitely different methods to shave time off but shaving off a full 1:52 from our best time is questionable. But if you're wanting to try I'm available tonight and chickens loves personal challenges.

Clearly I'm doing the math wrong. I thought you start with 20 mins - but looking at Chickens' vid, there are 20 minutes left after we finish the first room. My bad. ;)

Wait, what was our time? (reply)

With practice our best time was 10:53, which means we had over 50% of the clock left.

Nice! 15 seconds over our best! (Well, my best. This is now your best. :) )

Not to quibble, but... okay let's face it, I'm a quibbler. The countdown timer starts at 22 min. This thing measures time elapsed. As such, our countdown timer was at 11:08 for this making it about 30 seconds better than our shared run.

I'm thinking with no mistakes, sub-9-mins is possible.

Sounds possible, but HARD.

It also gave me this clip in which I murder UpNorth. It was me Claude, not you. :-)

VINDICATION!

I could watch that all day:

Not this week, but Kupkake and I helped Claude get his Prestige Trophy with this strike, and it was a pretty close shave...

UpNorth and I ran it 20 times over the weekend. Why would we do this? Well, it started out with it being our favorite Nightfall due to the positive perk of recharging abilities. Hunters, with smoke, are particularly fun because they can go invisible very easily. Also, the Raiden Flux chest piece turns arc striders into the highest DPSers available. There's a couple places where you need to clear enemies (good for arc striders) but most of the strike can be stealthily bypassed by standing on plates and running around enemies (good for night stalkers). It was a fun challenge to see how quickly we could do it. Eventually we just started inviting people on our friend's list. Many people got Rat's King this weekend. Also, lots of people wanted to do it multiple times because of the faction ornaments at stake. With practice our best time was 10:53, which means we had over 50% of the clock left.

Thanks for helping us chase our dumb goals DBO. I had a ridiculous amount of fun this weekend.

I didn't invest in Strike Playlist in D1 until TTK. So fair. (reply)

Strikes in D2 (reply)

DEEP_NNN — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 22:54:59 +0000

I like the variety within each Strike but it doesn't yet seem to be enough to fulfill my go to activity. I do my 3 weekly Strikes and the NF if I think it worth my efforts. That's it.
