Anyone want to help me and Saskjoe do the weekly Heroic? We're quite a bit way through but the 3rd had to leave.

Do these weekly heroics scale to group size or are they balanced for 3?

I see everyone has moved on to insane levels while I had absolutely no time to play it. Willing to get back to it next week but I'll probably have hard time catching up. :(

What level are you at? I'll give you a hand levelling up if I'm on.

Boom just got my first exotic bounty. Went for bad juju as even though people say it is rubbish currently, I like pulse rifles and imagine it will be buffed

It looks great and I love the auto reloading of the mag. I was tempted by that but decided to go for the fusion rifle instead. I am sure you won't be disappointed tho

Were you soloing it?

Should be able to do it solo at 27. Make sure you have plenty of heavy ammo synthesis to replenish. Where are you getting stuck, during the 3 Vex waves or later?

I was in a strike earlier and spotted my two random strike buddies hiding under the ramp at the top of the map when you see the priest. I joined them and took almost no damage. We nailed the Archon Priest in 2 mins.

My other choices were the fusion rifle and the machine gun. I dont like machine guns, I like fusion rifles but the bounty questline for fusion looked pretty nasty.

Still, it means I am going to need to farm some serious strikes - need a weekly heroic first (ill do this tomorrow with someone if anyone fancies it) then to just grind out 25 strikes so that I can get the Xur item this weekend and not have to wait a week.

Once you've got both relics, clear the area of enemies and I think you're supposed to blast the conflux with them but not sure.
Ah ok, I was just running around like a headless chicken shooting stuff.
I nearly had a fecking stroke when trying to make the jump bit, I was screaming at my tv. :lol:

:lol: Last week I did this: http://a.pomf.se/xbdiei.webm

Today I did similar. I prefer that method over the other one shown.

Our raid team is flooded with warlocks :lol: Was wondering why afro and Ducklegs' sat differently to mine until I worked out that they're female. There needs to be a thrusting emote.

That happened to me like 5 times :lol::lol: I had no idea how to get past but thankfully I heard someone say on their mic jump out and then in.

Also I got this wonderful exotic scout rifle from one of the chests... the stats look beastly :drool:

I was with my bro but doing it on level 28, did you do it at that level? It was hard enough getting to the priest then pretty solid when there. We even invited someone and were struggling then couldn't be arsed continuing.

I don't think it's possible solo unless your going to drag it out for hours.

The only way me and 1 other managed it was to stay at the top of the cliff where you first enter, and jump down, do some damage and then fly back up to the top. The enemies don't follow you up the cliff, so you can recover and refresh ammo etc.

We did it on Level 24 to be fair. I don't know what the damage would be like under that ramp but it looks a bit glitchy. You need to jump on the rocks to get under and hoards of enemies just run round not really shooting anything whilst you take them out.

I've got 16 Ascendant Energy and 0 Ascendant Shards so I'm stuck where I am currently on 28. Starting to see a few Level 30's now especially in the Iron Banner games. Think I played with 4 or 5 different ones last night.

We're struggling badly!
@Saskjoe @Coxy do you guys want to try this again another night?
Sorry I had to leave guys - it was either that or a divorce. Maybe me being level 20 isn't good enough for that level yet? I'm too squishy and those minotaur bad boys can kill me in one shot. I'm going to try a level 20 strike instead to try and get my level up - I've still not got any light armour yet to get my level up

I'm definitely up for more strikes - but think I need to get my level up first before I attempt level 22 again. My weapon is only a level 14 weapon for example too

No worries man!

Yeah to be honest I felt way too underpowered at level 22, if Adam hadn't have stepped in I don't think we would have finished it.

Right, I need to do the weekly heroic again for my Bad Juju bounty, level doesn't matter so as low as possible ideally - who wants to do it?

Honestly I'm not even sure, but I spent a lot of it dead. I reckon at the end me and @Shamwow were both dead for about half hour while @Adam-Utd managed to slowly chip away and hide. It was mental.
:lol: Sorry about that, I was trying to get out and revive you both, but he was so low on health I just didn't think it was worth risking it. I hate restarting the whole level again after all that work. :lol:

I figured that was the case, I was dead in the middle of the field, I knew there was no chance you'd be able to get out to us, and I also didn't fancy restarting the boss.

I just grabbed a slice of cheesecake and enjoyed the show.
