Hm, that's a really good question. I thought that it was an extra amount that got landed, especially because it seems like the overall health bar takes a nice hit. I don't know for sure though.

I like to think of it as a "reward" for knocking the leg casing off.

I was telling Cody that the ideal, and fastest way to kill a walker (without Burn damage) is to simply focus on its legs, and save your ammo when the "weak" point is exposed. Five of six legs should be enough for a kill given the extra damage applied when you blow the leg off.

I'm not really weighing in about the prize packages (which is really what this thread is about) - but I AM saying that you're wrong when you suggest it's among the hardest challenges you face in Destiny's PvE.

What about last week's with NO burn?

Heh. That was hard. :) (Those friggin' psions...)

Absolutely.

Your ideas are bad and you should feel bad.

Meh, I don't really think that. While I get what you mean Cody, those steps kinda seem...huge.

So basically Halo CE* on Legendary?

You might be right about that part. I keep forgetting to watch the health bar when it happens.

Beorn or Zero will hear you.

Oh, go suck on some sun balls!

How about missing a day because PSN is down? Or because life.

You think they'd care? So many times in those games their system was down and it was "tough luck".
Pfft--when I almost died in 2013, neither Sega nor Fox Games sent any consolation gifts or mercy in my daily reward record. So yeah, that'll happen, but there's nothing to be done about it.

Last night, in fact--me and two friends were doing the Weekly Heroic, and literally with only a few shots left, one of them got booted back to orbit on internet problems. I mean literally right at the end with Sepiks being pretty much already dead.

Which is true, but it's "supposed" to be the hardest. It isn't, but I guess the constant threatening overhang of Nightfall, the additional mods(such as Angry and Lightswitch) and the Epic mod as well--makes it "seem" that way. The Burn mods do make things a lot easier if you're selective with your weapons and such, but of course you still have to be careful so that YOU don't get one-hit killed, too. If those burns weren't on there(or worse, actually were one-sided as I erroneously thought before), then yes it definitely would be harder.

With Arc Burn on, my LDR 5001 gets 8200 damage vs Sepiks (with occasional 30,000+ damage on random bullets).

30,000+ on Sepiks? What kind of crazy gun have you got there?!

Actually, the 30,000 might be on the Devil Walker. It's a standard LDR 5001 (though I got it in a drop, rather than buying it, so it has a fun Clown Cartridge perk). I just remember seeing a couple of crazy-high damage numbers along the way. :)

Sounds like Destiny shouldn't be online-only, huh?

Offline games can't incorporate any time-sensitive mechanics because of the lack of integrity: the player simply changes their system clock.

It's something that simply doesn't exist in offline games, so it's incomparable.
