That is a nice idea, but does the boss's health instantly get scaled up when you add people when you were originally solo'ing? I am not sure how that works but I definitely notice a difference in enemy health solo vs. full team.

Yea but I usually don't start with the invites until he's pretty low anyway so it's not an issue. I don't know why but I have so much fun doing the weekly content solo, I'm probably weird.

I only had one death yesterday and it was my own fault, killed myself with a nade on my titan.
 
I'll probably post this a few times today to raise awareness (
read: vent my ass off
)... but here's what I got from the Nightfall last night:

1) A legendary engram. Decoded into a blue rocket launcher. This would be the same rocket launcher I was using, fully-upgraded, during said Nightfall strike.

2) A sack full of door knobs

3) No, I didn't actually get any door knobs, just the legendary engram.
lol you poor fool. giving you deserved attention here.

you may have defeated Valus Ta'uarc but you haven't even scratched the skin of the cryptarch.

Nerf this douche canoe already!

Don't you have exotics already, not to mention your first raid gave you like all the raid weapons?
 
One raid gear piece away from 30 after 2 raids. 2 more down and I'm still one away. Time to try again tomorrow and not get it again. I don't know why I expected anything different.

Wait a second, you get gear everytime you do the raid? I tought it paid you only once per week?
 
Anyone that wants in on some 3v3 Skirmish later today? We run with Vex Mythoclast and Suros Regime and need a third that doesn't give kills to the enemy. Fucking Randy's playing this PvP man.
 
So last night while I was solo'ing the Nightfall, Heaven-Assassin from here saw what I was doing and jumped into my game to give me a hand -- only I already had the final boss down to 5% health and I ended up killing him about 1 minute after Heaven joined.

He got all the benefits and a Legendary FWC fusion rifle for his 1 minute of play time, haha. He felt bad but I thought it was hilarious.

That ever happen to anyone else?

Yep! I had someone join my game yesterday instantly get a legendary engram then caused us to wipe by luring all the incoming rockets at both of us -.- Guessing he couldn't wait to get back to the tower :D

Man I love this gun. Reminds me of something out of Mass Effect. I cant believe I scored this plus Raid boots while everyone else in my party got kinda screwed in the spoils department last night. I felt kinda bad, especially cause I wasnt playing as good as I should have been.

I got it from a legendary engram I got while on patrol. The very same way I got my helmet (Light beyond nemesis). So weird.

The one exotic I do have is a titan helmet I bought from Xur, so doesn't count here. Yes, I do have like 6 raid weapons... which is nice. But still, no exotics (other than what I bought; 1 helm).
 
100% agree with this post.

I play at hours where I can't use mic chat, and when I can, my mates aren't online, so I cannot play the Raid. There's no alternative way for me to get LV29 to LV30. It's stupid. Destiny REQUIRES you to search for people in chat. The raid requires coordination, but not so much that you need to have the while team talking at once. And even if you do, you will get it with randoms.

Not including it basically wrote it off. I dunno how fun it would be doing the raid, and I can tell you, Nightfall Strikes with 3 people or Solo is just as fun as each other.

Whatever the Raid requires because of its design, it's freaking stupid to lock the only way to level up to it. Good exotic gear and elemental primaries? Sure, but levelling up? Even if I don't need to be LV30, there is no way I can progress anymore.

I will do a daily because it's quick and easy, but with less hours spent than it took to Gen 10 Titanfall, I'm locked out. All because I have to find 5 other people to play after midnight with me.
 
lol been playing since launch, no exotic bounties yet

Finally got my first exotic bounty yesterday. I did what evrybody here is suggesting, to turn 5 bounties from the same faction at the same time. Yesterday I grab 5 out of the 6 bounties from the Vanguard, I finished all of them and turn them in at the same time. As soon as I finished turning in the last one, the exotic bounty popped up.

Thanks. I appreciate that. I am sure my teammates will be here soon to verify and also voice their shock at my take.

One of them got 9 strange coins and the other got an exotic something or other.
 
I don't know about anyone else, but I think the Suros Prime, once you "upgrade" it to do more damage per shot but shots are slower, really shits the bed. I just don't like it at all and wish I hadn't upgraded it. I just feel like things die so much slower than with my hand cannon (and the Suros pre-upgrade).
 
Did you go to the right cheese spot? The one thats just a little hole with no ceiling is terrible because you're vulnerable to damage. There's a much larger (and better spot) directly across from it in the other corner of the lower level where all 3 of you can fit and there are several holes to fire through. There's a ceiling above you and you're pretty much safe from damage. Works perfectly.
Hmmm do you have something that depicts this? I only know the one spot that was shown to me. All of us could fit but I wouldn't say there was a ceiling.
 
Just searched for the Vex Mythoclast on twitter, and more and more people are getting it. This is going to destroy Destiny PvP unless Bungie does something.


That said, I wish I had it for awhile.. :)
 
I'm kinda fine with raids not having matchmaking but nightfall/weeklies really should.

The hardest lv content o can matchmake for is lv 24 heroics which are kind of a joke difficulty wise so why bother?
 
This game fucking hates me.

Finally (50 hrs) got a purple primary weapon, and it's a pulse rifle.

Fuck you RNG.

I've got to grind this week and I'm just buying a auto or scout from Vanguard.

It's actually not bad especially if you get the next two upgrades. I didn't like it at first either but the additional damage makes a huge difference. My only gripe is the sound. It does start to grate on the ears.

nah, it should be fine in Iron Banner

I'm 100% convinced that your RNG will improve if you turn in things rapid fire like. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. Whether it's turning in quests or engrams. I've received the exotic quests about 10 times total now.

No one cares. RNG. Once was enough. Update for cryptarch soon.
 
You do not get raid gear every time. He's extremely lucky. I'm sitting on 40 ass shards as testament to this fact.

But you get something? when the first chest we opened gave us nothing we went back to orbit assuming they would give us nothing to clear the raid again.

Do you get loot for every phase completed just like the first time?

Multiple characters.

Oh, carry on then, I barely have any time to play as one char.

That's what a lot of people think and is why you don't see the gun much in PvP now after the weekend. They think it's shit and stashed it away.

They are wrong. Aim for the head and upgrade it further once you get to the point where the bottom half of the mag does bonus damage and has a chance to heal you. That is 16 bullets and each one does more damage than the other. You just have to break the habbit of reloading it after killing a single enemy.

It's the best AR for PvP there is no doubt about it.
 
Or have the resets every 3 days. I'm seriously screwed til Tuesday and there really isn't any reason for me to log back in until then. All I've gotten from the raid for the last two weeks is shards. Shards should only drop in the chests. I can get shards from extra raid gear that I don't need anymore. Itemization is terrible right now.

Yes, the loot distribution needs some checks and balances.
 
Don't listen to his cries! He got an amazing AR in the raid :D
I did... I even accidentally scrapped the raid shotgun I got last time, felt bad about it, and got it again last night. That makes: 2 raid primaries (solar scout and void AR), 3 raid specials (2 shotguns and 1 sniper), and 1 raid heavy (corrective measure).

But still, to my original point. 0 exotics.
 
Bungie should implement some kind of token system to reset the raid earlier than Tuesday. It's such a long wait, and with the randomness of raid armor, it might take forever to hit 30.

This game would be perfect for a premium item that sped up any of the progress halting timers similar to donuts in The Simpsons Tapped Out.

Or Bungie could just let us play the game at our own pace...
 
It amazes me that people are still trying to justify the lack of matchmaking for raids (or anything else, for that matter).

Vault of Glass originally took 14-16 hours to beat. Everyone was flipping their shit.

Now, understanding the necessary tactics/using a guide, people beat it in 1-2 hours. World record is around 30 minutes.

I do not think matchmaking should be added WITHOUT mic support. But if mic support is added, there is no reason to not add matchmaking.

There are reasons. Mm has obvious downsides. The biggest being you can click it on a whim without even considering the commitment required. And while mm could fill those who drop out, the entire point of the raid is to build a team who know how to work together. Having to teach the new people and learn how the new team best works each time would make it incredibly tedious.

Mm isn't some flawless answer. A party board in game where you could advertise lfg and have to take your time finding a party would eliminate a lot of the people who never intended to commit. It wouldn't be perfect of course, but mm would be /full/ of drop outs.

Which pulse did you get? They aren't bad after some upgrading. I'm starting to really dig my Bad Seed Down. It was really nice in the Nightfall last night. We beat it without dying once. Then did the Weekly Heroic without dying once.

The man who cried engram.

Your lock out is per character. So you can run the raid 3 times and try your luck. The chests are also per character. The difference being the hard mode is on a separate loot table so you could run the raid twice on two separate difficulties and get gear. However the first chest I believe counts towards BOTH difficulties because it's technically not in "instance" yet.
 
Hmmm do you have something that depicts this? I only know the one spot that was shown to me. All of us could fit but I wouldn't say there was a ceiling.

I'm at work otherwise I'd take some screens, but basically you know that hallway you come into the final boss room at? Go diagonally across the room to the far corner, there's some crates stacked up on the lower level beneath the top level. You can hop over them and take cover. There's quite a bit of space back there.
