The only issue I have with this particular timed event is that in D1 you had the ability to run it more frequently and try to get the spindle.
This go around you are dependent on RNG and Bungie did fix the spawn time to help with that but for people that work for a living and have children, (Friday and Saturday) you only get one evening (Sunday) to run it maybe 3 times if you are lucky and the RNG gods favor you.
With all the trolls on LFG or Destiny Find a Fireteam, as soon as you go into the mission you find yourself solo...gee thanks people.
And with it being timed event, at this point I may get the gun but good luck getting the masterwork version or even the ship!
Yet another BA weapon I will never get to use to the fullest. Love the game but with how some of the best stuff is only available between this date to that date, some folks miss out on it and then are left with people not letting you in do do things cause you don’t have this or that and are labeled as a poor player! Saw it all the time in D1 with raids and other events when people didn’t have the Spindle.
Is what it is I guess!
Thanks for letting me rant, if anyone reads this post that is.

2 Replies[quote]in D1 you had the ability to run it more frequently and try to get the spindle.[/quote]It wasn't always like that in D1. Initially, you had to wait for a specific heroic daily mission.

2 RepliesYes because waiting for the daily heroic mission to be 'lost to light' in order to do black spindle is such a better wait period than being able to do the mission every weekend.. Lol

1 ReplyI was helping people get it yesterday and one team had a totally new guy who hasn't done it before, he didn't get past the jumping 🙈 Good thing I'm practising to try n solo so with the help of the other guy we did it with 24 seconds left 😁

1 ReplyI have both masterworked sniper and ship. Both take about 3 weeks to fully unlock if you do the heroic weekly. The scaling damage bonus based on your fire team leader's catalyst unlock progress really makes a difference, so make sure to take advantage of it. Some helpful tips: 1) Bring an exotic masterwork Polaris Lance if available -- the infinite ammo makes the last room much easier. 2) Get rid of the front three blight shields ASAP, or all of them if you have the DPS for it. 3) Ikelos shotgun and Wardcliff are great at quickly dropping blight shields.

1 ReplyAdd me on psn. me and my guys can run you through it next week

1 ReplyI see you got it in the end, so congratulations. I disagree with your OP on the assumption that they'll eventually do what they did with Spindle and just open up the mission. When they do, I think me and a buddy will do Whisper carries for shits n giggles.

1 ReplyI think this mission was designed for streamer carries tbh. It lends itself perfectly to running a normal and when the wrong event spawns, running heroic while you wait.

4 RepliesSo if all can see this thank you thank you for the push and feedback! Not only did I get the Spindle tonight I also got the catalyst right after!!! I...am...EXCITE!!

3 RepliesJust so know once you do beat it the first time, the heroic is unlocked on your map so you can pick it anytime

3 RepliesIve been soloing it for people all weekend, for the past 3 weekends. It takes 13 minutes to run the quest (soloing for me), so honestly, accounting for lets say an hour waiting for a blight, that's an hour and 13 minutes for the strongest gun in the game.

1 ReplyFor all those folks who disagree and it so easy to get all things needed for masterwork Spindle...that’s why people are paying folks to run them through huh.
-
7 Repliesits not that hard i ran it through with 3 of my friends and we all used polaris lance and melted the bosses

Not having children is so awesome for playing video games.

3 RepliesIf you're on xbox I'll take you through. Gt same as profile😉

2 RepliesIn D1, you could only play the spindle mission when the particular mission popped up as a daily heroic, which was way less often than three days a week. It was months before they changed it so you can select it any time.
