Which class did you decrypt them on? And was it all consecutive decrypting or did you leave his menu and come back?
i'll need to grab that for my alt. forgot to buy the Warlock helm last week.
They are my "go to" PVP exotic atm. I've had them since week 1 thanks to a 3oC. Wearing them in the Crucible allows me to use the first perk in the Hammer tree (the one that makes your hammers curve towards your targets and gives you a little bit of agility and recovery) since the Fists grant Explosive Pyre.
The only thing I don't like about them is that they don't change color with a shader. =/

Which one is worth to be upgraded to about 305?
BOTH
Come on wiped out you know the drill
Ship shader shards or speeder
Is this VoG?
Very Frustrating, They got many things wrong with Crota but it seemed that you almost got something for beating him. Every now and then it seemed he would just spit out mats but this is the hardest content yet and overall the loot system is very disappointing.

Agree with both but 1000 yard first since it isn't a class exclusive.

If you have more than 1 character, 1000 Yard Stare. If not, then still probably 1000 Yard Stare.
I really don't like the Hakke sniper scopes.

9 raids in, collecting all shards every time, and I have 5 pieces of raid armor. Anyone praising the drop rates in KF is either Wicked in disguise or a taken saboteur.
Thank you sir. I am definitely in the market for a group this evening.

Holy shit the Eyasluna though. Too crazy for me. So gooooood.
wasn't interested until I saw this post.
Don't get me started, son.
You must have been very lucky with VoG. I didn't get Corrective Measure until 2 months ago. I think KF will be kinder to you.
Took me about 6 months to get the Fatebringer and I was doing a lot of VoG! Realistically, people skipped gate keepers often.
It's a beautiful gun and I think the best legendary LMG in the game.

I had an Eyasluna in my postmaster, it got pushed off by some blue engrams. Sad face...
Holy shit hopped into a Heroic Strike (just got to the quest where you need to do 5 heroic strikes on my last character), it was Taniks and my two randoms are actually awesome. Taniks dropped an exotic engram, a legendary engram, an sublime engram, and 3 blues. What in the actual fuck

I don't think I ever skipped Gatekeepers when I did VoG.
Normal Strike playlist. Pop one at any time before boss.
I thought the Rose turned into the Thorn. I could be wrong though. I haven't read that lore in a while.

Did them all on my hunter who was 302 light at the time.
I bought 2 and decrypted. Bought two more and decrypted. Then bought one and decrypted.
I think this is the best method as I've really noticed the streaky RNG when doing all at once.
Last time it was STAG, STAG, STAG, STAG. Wish I had all those coins back from week 1, heh.

Morning DGAF!
Happy to hear our East Coast folks will be good this weekend.
I woke up early and spent about 200+ coins trying to get the last two new helmets.
The Graviton Forfeit would not drop for me. I got about 10 Celestial Nighthawks however. Smart Loot! I did snag a 310 Taikonaut for my Titan. Smart Loot.
So, after playing some PVP last night and this morning I have decided the Red Death will be my primary of choice for Trials. My Warlock has armor for Pulse Rifle reload, ammo, and shotgun ammo. I am still debating about what exotic armor to use. I have yet to see the benefits of the Stag.
I am learning twoards Sunsinger instead of stormcaller. Any sniper worth a damn can drop a Warlock in Stormcaller mode quick.
As for my Titan, he is all spec'ed out for max sniper reload and ammo. The question is, what sniper should I go with?
For heavy round I will switch between the exotic arc sword and the FWC Vertigo RL depending upon the situation.

Probably heroic strikes.
I love my stillpierce scope SO. MUCH.
Clean and precise. No big circle of "I don't know where this is going to shoot, really".
That being said, yeah, 1000 Yard Stare if you have other subclasses to play.
PM Me, GutZ, iRawr, Afro or Boguester, and you can send a request on PSN through the communities interface to the group (it's called Destiny GAF Community).
I have no idea how they work, either.
I think it is...
Jeff was having genuine fun with Destiny and that is something new for sure.
Well, that's a payday.
Did you do VOG every reset? And if you were doing it on heroic, that might have shifted the loot drop against you as well.

first area on mars... go in a big circle... kill those vex at the bottom for ability kills every once in a while... took me 2.5 hours...
then go to the woke the hive story mission for the rest...

Either do strikes and pop one every time. Cooldown should be short enough for it not to matter. Or if you just want a quick kill, I actually think Sardok in the Shrine of Oryx is the best option. You don't lose the checkpoint like I seem to always do with Draksis and the Gatelord.
Trance, we both have received good things from this raid. Just Oryx is being a stingy bitch.

310 Helm of Saint-14, Skyburner's Annex, and Graviton Forfeit. Thanks Xûr!

Every reset for a while, but I will admit my VoG raid time dropped off dramatically when TDB came out. I got a Praedyth's Timepiece and a Praetorian Foil before I got Corrective Measure lol. One of the supposedly most common drops. It wasn't the beast it used to be when I got it.
Semi-blind Kings Fall Raid Reminder!
The raid will start at around 8 p.m CT (central time zone) today (11 hours from this post)!
Here are our candidates.
1. Chrnocide
2. shadyderp
3. NostalgiaUltraa
4. legilimens.
5. churmom
6. Hawkian
Alt #1: kaiotheforsaken
If anyone would like to sign up as an alt in case something doesnt work out please let me know and I can add you to the list! Our requirements are patience, friendliness, the ability to communicate (via mic) and at least a 285 light level! (preferably 290+)
Accepting at least 1 more person!
Just pop one every time right after you've "consumed" one. That way you're always good to go for the next Ultra kill.

There are regular ones that are yellow and the adept ones are black but the specs are the same. I am betting that the yellow ones will drop from 290 to 300 something based on where they drop in the playlist, and the black ones drop at 310 out of the mercury chest only. There's only black versions of the primaries, unlike the black raid weapons and armor, of which they all have harrowed versions.
Best way to use them is to have the buff active at all time, really.
Each time you kill an enemy with a skull next to its name, check if the buff is gone or not (ie: if it was a real, proper ultra or not), and if so pop another one.
Yep, this.
Oh ok D:
I only got one Hereafter to spend on this right now.
And I only play hunter atm, but still I think I'll go with 1000 yard (or should I buy the vendor one and upgraded that? - perkwise)

Apparently you can use the strike streak rep bonus to increase your Vanguard bounties (do two strikes in a row then turn in bounties while in third strike). Might do it regularly simply for the Faction boost.

nah i dont think its worth it... should be 100k or something NH helm is pretty useles in pvp.. so it being mainly a pve helm they should up the dam... the new hunter helm is the best helm now..
You don't have the new hotness Zhalo correct?

3 raids complete on my hunter and I don't have a helmet, gauntlets, chest or boots (or heavy or sniper.)

Thanks for the tip. I probably only have enough SC to buy 5 engrams so I will be trying this method later today.

Vendor one is great. Depends what you want, really. Your void one looks like it has good PvP perks and the vendor one is great for PvE.
Edit: that's arc and I'm blind
I was doing this, but strikes get tiring after a while and take a little too long.
Ill try this later, thanks.
