    If you learn to use Destinylfg (or the /r/fireteams) you will not only be able to easily complete party instances like raids and nightfalls, but you will also quickly solve your problem of not having friends to play it with.

    You can play the game solo, but it's also very easy to find people to play with.

    Grouping isn't mandatory, but if you don't, we're talking about a different game. Most of the game's best content requires you to group.

    So I've been doing some research on Jade Rabbit, or more specifically, the Fate of all Fools perk.

    I still wish it rewarded you more for smart play, it's not as bland as I originally thought once I stopped wishing the damage multiplier per body shot was incidental.

    The gun is essentially a primary Black Hammer.

    11 shots in the mag when specced, you shoot like normal (precisions) until you have 5 bullets left, then you go BBBBP (B for body shot and P precision ofc) and it'll give you back 11 bullets (not from the mag.

    Basically your first shot gives 1, the second 2, and everything after that 3, the chain only starts on a body shot and ends on (and includes) your precision.

    Again, it's a primary Black Hammer-ish where you'll never have to reload if your last 5 shots are BBBBP.

    The reload is so quick though that I'm not sure if it's worth the dmg drop-off.

    It's an interesting and fun perk, I just wish the dmg penalty was either nil or negligable, rewarding skillful play.

    As a very interesting aside, here are the grimoire cards from the calcified fragments, called The Books of Sorrow. They're basically the history of Oryx and the origin and purpose of the Hive.

    It's very, very interesting.

    The Books of Sorrows are wild. Alot of theorising has gone on as to the origins of the Hive and what it represents. My favorite theory is that we are only able to kill Oryx because we killed Atheon and Crota before him. It involves the Sword Logic of the Hive Gods.

    Sword Logic has some pretty awesome logical conclusions, considering how much shit we've been killing inside throne worlds.

    But yeah, Books of Sorrow are very interesting.

    Best part, to me, was when the Vex axis mind Quria transformed itself into Oryx, but couldn't replicate him in his entirety. So he made him without the worm inside him, without the wings, the blade and the morphing. Quria became Aurash, Oryx's original form.

    Aurash's reaction after seeing what Oryx has become? Shock and horror. Very strong scene.

    Jesus, just got Tlaloc. Overflow really turns that gun into a beast...

    I don't have enough shards to bring it up to par with my JR, so I can't really compare yet, but the sheer RoF when fully charged (which I always am. Sunsinger) and the amazing handling/stability surely make this a contender.

    I'd still rather have ToM though, lol

    Tried the Touch of Malice on the Oryx raid yesterday. The DPS while under the immunity buff is insane.

    :3 Maybe on the weekend when there's loads of time.

    Hell, I tend to do the raid in fragments because I don't have the time it takes to grind all bosses in one go.

    Gotta say though raid was fucking stingy this weak. Warpriest dropped nothing but materials, as did the Dathsingers. Only Golgoroth gave something, and that was a 300 defense chest armor. 300! As low as it gets. RNJesus hates me.

    How long do you guys think it will take Bungie to implement matchmaking for raids? They seem to have backed away from the stance that it was never going to happen so it's only a matter of time right? I'm leaning towards next year when "Destiny 2" or the expansion equivalent of it comes out.

    Fuck matchmaking for raids.

    Seriously, never implement something like that. It would not work.

    I think they should do it when the following raid comes out.

    Or, take a page from WoW's book and have a level below 'normal' for people that have no interest in the raid and just want to complete quests and see content, maybe because they've already done the whole 'raid' thing before in other games, spending eight hours a night clearing content and never seeing the light of day.

    Hypothetically...

    I probably wouldn't like it either but a lot of the player base has been asking for it since Day 1 and multiple people have cited it was part of the reason they quit playing or haven't attempted it. Personally, I think a great solution would be finding someway to integrate DestinyLFG or aspects of it into the game. Not sure how plausible that might actually be though.

    Yep, it basically turns Oryx staggering into easy mode. When I first did the Raid we needed a Celestial Nighthawk GG shot or we wouldn't stagger; now all you need is 2 ToMs.
