I guess so.
Nope, 6 players and everyone has to be invited into the Fire Team. No match making.

Just upgraded my Crypytarch level to 6. Got a Legendary reward from the postmaster. Redeemed it and it goes from a Legendary package to 2 Rare weapons, I use them at Crypytarch and they become Uncommon shotguns. The fuck is this?
This was in about an hour, already had way over 100 Rare engrams. Nearly a level 25 Light now and still nothing.
The guy I was farming with got 3 Legendary items in about 20 minutes.
Complete the game. It's a Yellow Pulse Rifle.

Assuming you are not vastly overleveled the even strikes are impossible to beat alone. So no, not a chance.

Apparently Bungie expects a ton of people to run the raid given how adamant they've been about wanting reviews to be focused on endgame content.
Right now I'm putting minimal effort into Crucible matches and Strike Playlist so I can get my vendor legendaries to pass their gear check on the content I actually want to do. I guess you could say I'm hooked on the promise of amazing loot and the real game, which I haven't seen yet in 47 hours of game time. And here I thought the real game started 27 hours ago.
So yeah it's pretty terrible actually.
This is insanely stupid, there should be a bulletin board for missions or something.
Watching them try to stealth the second part of the raid is hard work...
PewDiePie did this solo yolo
We could get a good group together if we waited until Friday night or something. I'd be fully leveled up by then and I'd have another guaranteed Legendary armor piece from New Monarchy, and possibly a Vanguard piece too if I farm the hell out of their rep.
I actually solo'd the devils lair 22 weekly strike at level 22 because I was desperate for those strange coins and my friends weren't on. Only died once, but maybe it was a fluke.

Honestly, I'm starting to think farming is fucking up your decryption chances - I've had a legendary turn into a blue a single time and I never farmed until last night (for 20 minutes total).
Doing patrols, Strike Playlists and Crucible earned me rare/legendary drops on a regular basis and made my vanguard/crucible ranks go up to be able to BUY legendary armor in case nothing was dropping.
But hey, keep farming and ending up with blues I guess.

You wouldn't want to play the raid with randoms, trust me. Get a group prior to the raid, get everyone's mics up and get in a party chat. Who knows if randoms will even have mics or talk? You absolutely need to communicate when doing the Vault of Glass.
Because you would ruin PVP with that legendary weapon!!

Can the Raid be started with 5 players or is it only playable if you have 6 in the lobby?

How do you get vanguard marks? I see that you can earn them through vanguard strikes, but I haven't done any, yet I have 20 marks. Are they awarded another way as well?
Found an exotic weapon before I found a legendary. Can't complain I guess.
Completing public events nets you some usually.

Bungie have done something right with this game at least, it will keep people coming back for more. May only be in small slots, but they'll be back. And if they keep releasing content and strikes/vaults all the time then people will keep playing. New content is good, doesn't allow the game to get stale.
For someone like me whom doesn't get a lot of time gaming, getting to level 14 in a week is pretty good going. Could be a 20 by next week, who knows. I'm usually online from 9pm UK time most evenings.

You can start it solo but won't get very far.
So i've been holding off buying it after reading the first negative reactions here on GAF. Waiting for the reviews etc. Decided not to buy it.
But holy shit, looking at that raid stream that looks incredibly fun and exactly what I was looking for. Guess i'll have to look for a limited edition later today.

blah!!!
do you have to be level 20 at least to start getting legendary or exotic in drops?
Far be it for people to tell you what you should do but online focused games get updated. It has not even been a week yet. I am sure they are looking at the loot focus right now and how to balance it. If not the player base will drop off rapidly.

I need to do a Weekly Heroic Strike in order to complete an Exotic bounty, does anyone here want to help me? PSN ID: ComputerMkII
Hey, I'm up for waiting till Friday. I got the entire weekend off. If you're up for it, I don't mind the wait. In fact, I would prefer it since I still need a legendary helmet. All we have to do is setup a group.

So about 100 Uncommon engrams and 15 Rare engrams. Still no Legendary..
Got my first legendary weapon from A rare engram yesterday at lvl 21. A machine gun. Wish it was a primary but oh well its still good
heroic story daily, heroic strike weekly, public events
That's a better solution, over matchmaking. Like in PSO. It actually is important that people have some modicum of an idea what they're getting into and know they are expected to communicate for something like this.
For now there's www.destinylfg.net

Not knocking you or anything, but this mindset is what worries me for the future of this game. It needs to be random. Bungie does indeed need to fix stuff but the randomness has to stay. I would like to see them tweak it so that the top player gets 3 items (more chances) or it's guaranteed you will get one item. Still random what that item is though.
Ahhh, ok. I knew it had to be something else.

Yeah I am planning to do the Raid on Friday as well. Should have a full set of legendary armor by then.... hopefully...
I would absolutely prefer it too! By the weekend we'll all be decked out, haha. I'd be able to hit 27 most likely as well, especially with each day's first public event giving an Ascendant Shard.

I'm not attempting that raid again until I'm level 28, one exotic armor piece and everything legendary and maxed out. Already got my trusty Suros Regime as a weapon of choice.

Crucible and completing bounties for Crucible is a great way to level up fast. I reached level 20 in Crucible before even doing anything on Venus.
It's only been a week, and it's a RNG game, I'm nearly Crucible level 3 via MP and don't have a purple yet

What does baller mean?
Might try it then. At this rate, I won't be near the Raid for weeks lol.
Interestingly, I really wasn't feeling Destiny. Pushed to 12 on my Warlock and didn't really feel keen on pushing on. Tonight I rerolled as a Hunter and I'm finding it much more satisfactory. Only hit lvl5 but I'm wanting to keep playing.
Also strangely, I seem to have the most fun on patrol vs the missions. It's basically action-action-action and fast levelling. No waves of bosses while waiting, respawning and losing progress when dying, etc. Wish there was an Adventure mode equivalent.for faster levelling.
