You can stand with your back against the opening and shoot Phogoth easily without the Shrieker spawning or anyone shooting at you.

Where is this spot you speak of??

I was actually talking about in the main room, not the hiding room.

If you stand just on the very edge of the doorway you can snipe Phogoth without the shrieker spawning.

Just as Edword pointed out, if you stand at the inner doorway right near the shrieker, it won't spawn for some reason.

The last door way threshold is the trigger area for the shrieker. I believe it has a 15-20 second timer, before spawning a shrieker.

Hey, I followed you out the first time... after it failed miserably, I stayed in the room.

I'd sure love to know where this magic spot is out in the main area where one can stand and not get overwhelmed by Phogoth's eye blast or boomer blasts. Not talking about shrieker room or room behind.

It failed because we weren't together...and because of Billy! 😝

This I am willing to believe.

I always stand on the top step as far right as I can get to snipe him. I don't go into the shrieker room at all.

So bored at work and I finally moved all of my stuff around so I don't need to worry about ever moving guns...except occasionally since I only have one Gjallarhorn & Hunger of Crota and two Fatebringers.

Each character now has a Vex, Word of Crota, Fang, Atheon's Epilogue, Vision of Confluence, Abyss Defiant and then an Ice Breaker and Black Hammer.

Made it so I'm always prepared for a quick Atheon or Crota run.

All I need is Suros Regime, Truth, and Nechrocasm and I really don't care. I think Suros will be sold by Xur soon so that should take care of that.

But WHY am I still playing this game? How did any of you break the addiction? So glad it's warming up so I can get back outside...

For me it was having to move house. Meant I had to take at least a week away from the game (turned in to more like 3-4 Weeks in the end) and when I came back many of the regulars I played with had moved on so I was on solo and it just wasn't any fun.

The other factor was that we were only really looking to run Crota hard and we were spending up to an hour to get a team together only for someone to quit after 4 or 5 tries meaning we'd have to spend even more time looking for a team. It was just a massive waste of time.

I think many of the guys here still playing are ones that regularly play together in groups, if I could jump on with 6 guys each night I'd still be playing too.

I got all three characters to 32 and spent hundreds and hundreds of hours playing it every day from launch until the middle of Feb. So I won't be heading back until House of Wolves launches since there's nothing left in the game that I want until it launches with new gear.

[Morkna]

Yeah I like running crota on norm but hard is just annoying with people quitting like you said, and I don't need anymore fangs and words. Get better stuff from normal in my opinion.

My obsession died a lot when I finally got Gjallarhorn. I haven't played nearly as much since I got it, that was the main reason I was playing.

I quit worrying about getting every exotic chest, killing Atheon 3 times and Crota 6 times.

Now I just play for fun if I feel like it, which isn't bad. Still a good game and fun to play with friends and meet new people.

Martini Time.

Weekly update shows off expanded vault space.... Not as much as I'd have liked


Update 1.1.2 will push the boundaries of your secure repository. The new dimensions will let you store twenty-four (24) ARMOR pieces, thirty-six (36) WEAPONS, and twenty-four (24) GENERAL items.

If you’re a visual learner, here’s a look at how those numbers manifest into more room to grow.


You might be surprised to learn that not all of us have such a vast array of riches. John Hopson is the User Research Lead at Bungie who can peer into every Vault in the Tower. According to his analysis, the majority of us still have room to spare.

JH: Very few people have completely full Vaults, but a lot of endgame players are bumping up against the limits. For example, 21% of players who are level 30+ have 4 or fewer free spaces in their weapon Vaults right now. The armor and general sections are slightly less full for most people, but not by much. Even at lower levels, there’s a small but measurable fraction of players under level 20 who have full Vaults. You could charitably think of them as “collectors” or uncharitably label them as “packrats,” but some people just flat out like holding onto their stuff. Personally, I’m still waiting for the Pocket Infinity bounty so I can use up the 10 rare fusion rifles I have saved. It has to drop sooner or later.

Those of you who have put in the time and effort to amass a might cache of loot have told us that you need more space. M.E. Chung has heard you, and as the Live Team Lead, she’s uniquely able to respond.

M.E.: For many, many weeks, Vault space has been an important request in the queue that we’ve been tracking. As we get closer to the House of Wolves content update, we knew we had to expand the Vault or the community would not have enough space to store the new Exotics we’re making!

Different players have different needs, but our goal was to find a solution that could deliver more Vault space to the greatest number of people in the short term. Our challenge was to provide an increase in storage that fit within the memory constraints that limit how many items can be displayed on one screen. This had to be accomplished by a team who is simultaneously working on future content. We opted for making sure that players would have enough slots for all Exotics from Launch through House of Wolves - thus the largest increase in slot space is for weapons.

We know there are a bunch of players in the world who don’t have enough space for Armor and General items. We’ll have a solution for you in the future.

This fix might seem simple. At Bungie, we love to make the development of games look easy. UI Engineering Lead Brad Fish can lend some context to the fact that it was no simple undertaking to add some shelf space to your keep.

BF: Like a time traveler whose actions in the past inadvertently alter the course of history in unexpected ways, each modification to Destiny has the potential to introduce a variety of side effects. Planning and meticulous verification are key to ensuring the continued stability of the game.

In the case of the Vault expansion, it became clear that we would be pushing very limited memory constraints on older generation hardware. We had a choice: leave the Vault as-is, or find some kind of compromise to enable it safely. We weighed the options, with player feedback in mind, and decided to move forward with the expansion by disabling the item comparison feature within the Vault on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Item comparison will continue to function within the Vault on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and in all other contexts on all platforms.

We may not be making you as rich as Charlemagne, but those of you who have Vaults that are bursting at the seams with sweet loot are in for some relief. Stand by, because Update 1.1.2 arrives in April. As for what the future holds for Vaults, only a time traveler would know for sure.

The 2.50 Firmware update for the PlayStation 4 will implement a Suspend and Resume function on 3/26. This function will not work with Destiny at this time. Functionality for the Suspend and Resume feature will be enabled for the 1.1.2 Update. Read more about this feature here.

So basically, the vault is gimped because of last gen consoles...

It's on the floor just in front of the tunnel where the enemies would spawn out of between the two rocks. If you stand there you'll only get one drop ship to spawn and that's it.


In regards to vault space, I guess I'll take what we can get, but I'd still like a little more room. Man I have a feeling Destiny 2 will be awesome with the last-gen not holding it back anymore.

That's how I read it. Still, better than nothing, I suppose.
