Destiny

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Another successful Raid down. We got some other new guys adjusted to the Raid. Would anyone that's Level 29, like to band together to try the hard mode of the Raid? I'm not saying that we'd necessarily beat it, because I've seen and heard how much more challenging it is, but it could be a couple more loot drops. Anyone have interest in that tomorrow? It not, it's fine.

I do like the idea of getting a band of regular players together and tackling this beast.
 
I'm down to Raid tomorrow. I've only done it once and I'll need some walking through again, but I'm 29.
 
I'll do it, but man the difficulty spike is insane. It becomes more about your gear, Hunters, are particularly less useful in hard mode because Warlocks can self res, and the titans shield helps a ton.

By your gear, I mean weapons mostly. You want maxed weapons. I've never even made it past the confluxes part, Hobgoblins one shot you. For the part where you get to Atheon (joined a team) it is basically impossible for a 29 to hold the relic. The Hobgoblins are nuts, and the Minotaur can stomp you.

It's no joke, I don't even know if we can make it past the confluxes without some 30's. The best I've ever done is the second wave of confluxes.
 
I'm definitely down to try as well but I think we need a couple 30s
 
Ok, well let's make that an eventual goal then. I'm going to build a second character so I can attempt the VoG twice per week.
 
I can be 29 but I feel like it would be wasteful to use the materials to upgrade my crappy vanguard rep legendaries. I'm hoping for more than just a chatterwhite in one of these runs so I can have something useful to upgrade, but if it comes to it to do the hard mode I would bite the bullet and upgrade.
 
This game is starting to get old for me. Need the expansion to come soon. I've been killing the crucible though. Had a 3.5 KD ratio yesterday. Was on fire. Played 5 clash matches and had the highest score Prolly 3 times. I got ino one of those zones! It's like Im either one of the best or one of the worst. All about that heavy ammo! I got the armatrium so if I get it, I got 4 rockets with a fully loaded truth. Pisses me off when I'm running to it and a teammate takes it when I'm 10 feet from it and don't get it too. Oh well. I'll be slowing down and just be doing the raid and nightfall once a week and a couple bounties.
 
If we are going to do it, we need to heavily coordinate a plan.

If we can have two Titans, one for each conflux side, so they drop a shield every opportunity they get, and multiple Warlocks, it will likely be for the best.

Especially for pushing the templar off. A titan shield with the more orbs perk, so the warlocks can get their supers faster. I don't imagine we could survive enraged Templar for very long. The no revives thing is the real killer in the raid.

For the oracles part, it might just be best to hide every time we aren't killing oracles. Titans throw up a shield, Hunters go invisible, whatever it takes.

No offense meant, but a 28 is going to be particularly useless. Just going in, you already have a 40% nerf on damage done to enemies, not exactly sure how much more damage they do to you.

If we are going to do it today, I only have a hunter to attempt it with. Hopefully by next week, I will have a warlock with self res to do it with. I really need an exotic helmet for my warlock, but Xur didn't cooperate.

With it being this difficult, what I propose is that we just hold off and wait until we get more experienced together and coordinate better. Let's just see what we can get from the VoG on normal and hopefully level up to 29-30.

I'm in a similar situation to Dang. I've got a lot of shards, but I'm sitting at Level 29, waiting for raid armor. I could push to mid level 29, but I don't see the point of wasting the shards.
 
We can try if you guys want. Regardless if we have a couple 30's or not, there will be some growing pains to adjust. It may be worth it just to get some experience for it.
 
If anybody has this on xbone and wants a free blacksmith shader i got a code for pre-ordering cod shoot me a pm. I'm trading in this shit game(imo).

Edit:Given away

I'm available after 6 for a regular raid then if we want. I've only done it once and I got boots so I'm happy trying for more raid gear to push for 30.

Is this for the X1 or PS4?

I have a LV 29 Hunter with fully maxed out subclassss.

I play on the X1.

They are on PS4. I think you and I are the only 2 X1s still playing. Possibly Marcus. Don't know if I have any other RCF's on my list.
