DESTINY

[CNS]

I'm happy. Completed Prison level 34 and used my etheric light to bring back an old favorite. Fatebringer is fucking back. Also, since I didn't want the pulse rifle Variks is offering, I decided to gamble on Judgment's Chance...got the shotgun. Now to roll the level 32 Prison on my hunter and Titan and pick up the helmet for both of them. Downside for both as I won't get to 34 on my Titan and the only way to be 34 on my hunter is with exotic boots. I have both sets so I at least have options.

Hit rank 3 in Iron Banner, bought Etheric Light, ascended Vision of Confluence. I'm pretty happy about that one. Plus, had one match where I think I went something like 32 and 6 and had a 13 or 14 kill streak. Good thing I recorded that. Wish I recorded earlier matches where I went ham with my sniper rifle. It was ridiculous and they all ran for the heavy...where I was, and I just took out 3 of them like it was nothing.

GodHatesHipster tried Skolas for six hours just to fail. He was so disgusted about it that he didn't play the game for two days.
I never tried the Skolas fight, but after what he told me that happens inside, I'm sitting there like "that's too much shit on the field just to be raped instantly".
Everyone relies on the G.Horn strat to make the fight easier for them. The problem is that it doesn't work on the old gen console due to loading times. And that's what pretty much did Hipster in.

Although the loading time issue is not the reason for Bungie doing this, but they're going to patch the fight.

• New Modifier combinations (Arc, Void, and Solar Burn will be removed)
  
• Boss health is reduced (to compensate for the lack of burn)
  
• Minions will spawn at predictable health intervals
  
• Minor adjustment to the unit makeup of the combatant waves

If a boss can one hit kill you due to a burn modifier, then they really didn't test that shit.

Nah, Skolas doesn't one shot you with solar burn. I can confirm that. Just like the Qodron and Kaliks Reborn fights, this one is about add control. Try to burst Skolas down yes, but when adds start coming in, they must be dealt with. Otherwise, you'll be overwhelmed by them as time goes on since they spawn on a timer. The fight's difficult, end game content should be, but it is manageable.

My bad, the Captain or whatever the creature is that has fire bullets.

[CNS]

He can only one shot you if all 3 hit. Still, a manageable fight. Besides. He's a priority when it's solar burn. In arc burn, he's just a nuisance considering all the other enemies than can wreck you. And in void burn, he's not that important at all since no enemies do void damage in the fight (no servitors outside of the stealth ones at the beginning).

[CNS]

So...the burn strategy finally worked. Turns out Skolas needs to be near his spawn point to take advantage of the triple Gally strat. If he moves to close, it's near impossible to take advantage without taking damage.

FLAWLESS RAIDER achievement.

Got it.

So many restarts simply at the Abyss drop.
One person kept falling to their death.
This was the same thing that happen to Hipster when we attempted this the first time months ago.
After we finally all lived, we got to the point of DeathSinger and killed her.
Two knights tagged team on that said person who kept falling to their death. I just don't understand how that was possible...Radars man, radars! And you knew the Knights came out that side door.
So instead of restarting, we beat Crota and tried again. A few Abyss deaths later we finally did it.
My sleeping schedule is all fucked up now. God damn.

[CNS]

Congrats. This is one of 2 achievements I don't have. Maybe I can find a group to help out with that. Maybe I'll stick with my raid buddies. Don't know. I do know that I can do it in either raid. Only times I die now is when certain people decide to cheese a particular section. Oracles and Templar in VoG, and Bridge in Crota.
