Yesterday three lvl26 (me included), one lvl25, one lvl27 and one lvl29 went into the Raid. First time for over half of us... it took us almost 2 hour to just get to the final boss, but it was way too late already and we died so much that we just left it there.

Anyway, first time with the Raid, I'm sad that all that map is just used for the raid and nothing else, but it felt like we were on some cave exploration during certain parts. Loved it!
 
Just did my first raid. We didn't beat Aethon and after awhile we got tired of attempting it. It was a random group from destinylfg and most everyone first time so it was a bit rough. Luckily someone did it before and I was knowledgeable up until the final boss. There was one weak link that I think made the group not work.

Either way, it was a valuable learning lesson and I ended up with some pretty sweet loot.

MIDA Multi-Tool (Scout Rifle; Third Eye [Radar stays active aiming down sights]; Mida Multi Tool [Weapon boosts move speed and fires on a hair trigger]
Found Verdict (Shotgun)
Cuirass of the Hezen Lords (Chest Armor; +128 Discipline; Increase Hand Cannon Ammo; Increase Special Ammo)
Tread of the Hezen Lords (Leg Armor; +102 Strength; Increase Heavy Ammo)
Fragment of the prime Warlock bond
4 Ascendent Shards

So 2 new weapons, one of which is awesome (Multi-Tool) and two raid armor (body piece looks cool and has good stats, legs are meh)...i'd say that's a successful first run.
 
I just realized there's literally no point in aiming a shotgun.

Left spread is from ADS and the right spread is from hip-fire. Unless you have the perk that specifies that the spread is tightened when ADS'ed you're better off hip-firing.

Damn - you got two pieces of raid gear. Out of the numerous times I ran the raid, I've only obtained the gauntlets :(

People ADS when using shotguns in any game ever?

I only seem to get a OHK in PvP if I ADS. Even if I'm eskimo kissing the guy when I hipfire it never seems to kill in one shot.

I wouldn't put so much stock in what the impact effect decals are showing you. They probably aren't as accurate as you think.

I'm not sure if I'm just imagining it, but it seems like the recoil is more manageable when ADS, which is useful mostly just for auto shotguns.
 
The load times are getting so damn in this game. I'm assuming it's connecting to the server but it takes sooo long now, longer than when I first started playing. It took about a full minute to go to The Tower and when I got there a bunch of others popped in at the exact same time.
 
It is a very podcast friendly game isn't it? I listen to something else when I play or am talking to my wife when I play, unless I'm in the Crucible.

Yes, I listened to a few 8-4 play podcasts and realized how much they remind me the 1UP days. Game talk with minimal deviation into rl.

yup grinding strikes with music playing is great.

That too. Di.fm is perfect for it.

Today I was thinking how much Criterion evolved Paradise with updates. Can't wait to see what Bungie does with Destiny. Really hope they work on improving and evolving the game constantly.

One thing I want them to add asap is the ability to go straight to tower and skip orbit. I'm sure it won't be technically complex and will add a big convenience factor.
 
Beat the raid for the first time with a bunch of gaffers. Got the Gjallahorn and Chatterwhite out of it.

It was fun, though I didn't think the mechanics were that amazing. The encounters are certainly leaps and bounds better than anything in the Strikes, but Bungie banking on it to be the Destiny experience is...disappointing. I'm definitely a little more interested in the expansion raid now but they really need to beef up the other aspects of the game.
 
I've been getting the Marionberry error code all night, does anyone know what this is from? My little brother is playing it fine, but he lives in a different house. I was able to join parties and play other games on XBL but I can't figure out what's wrong with it and it's pissing me off.
 
My warlock hard raid helmet is so sick. Getting a critical hit on a vex has a chance to spawn an orb. You also get a chance of spawning an orb with a Melee kill. That sounds really useful.
 
Thanks a lot Bungie for making a bounty not dying in a strike. Every single strike I've tried to do today has someone afk or hiding. Good stuff.
