Anyone need 2nd crota chest up to crota? Then maybe a couple crota kills after that if you want to stick around.

I'd be up for it on my 31 Titan/Hunter.

[Cømet]

Hehe, rock that shit!

If the people in tonight's group are out there reading, ours is starting up in ~1.5 hours.

haha that's what we want! Always want to be more like you Hawkian, you're a cool guy.

Hmm, I'm tempted to bring my 27 Titan as it would be it's first VoG run. Though I have the weeklies scheduled to run with a couple others in 1.5 hours from now so I may not have time.

Go for it! Sure we can make it in that time. If not, feel free to jump out

 

[gdt]

Awesome run guys. Some dude got the red death. A very useful gun for the Crota fight if you don't have a Gjallarhorn.

My warlock has full raid gear and helmet so I was just looking for shards and an exotic.

 

[noomi]

Fuck!

There goes my Hawkmoon

Ha, we talked on the podcast about how easy that would be to fix.

Edit: Exotic chest gonee nooooo

Nah, I like this- loot spot added to Deathsinger, that can include exotics. First check just mats. Fair trade.

Two more for fresh VoG normal run, any takers! Newbies welcome.

"Exotic weapon drops in the Vault of Glass are now Level 32."

Yooooooo

 

[Hawkian]

haha that's what we want! Always want to be more like you Hawkian, you're a cool guy.

now you're just mocking me!

OMG Free chest gone Noooo Fuckkkk fuckkk fuckk lol

What? Where is the exotic chest now?

First off, nothing has happened yet. This is the 13th.

The chest is still there, it can only contain radiant mats.

A loot drop has been added to the Deathsinger point, which can contain exotics. It's now one of the most valuable parts to complete, whereas it was being constantly and regularly skipped altogether.

Very good change.

"Exotic weapon drops in the Vault of Glass are now Level 32."

Yooooooo

Wish this was live already for our run tonight!

 

[Captain Smirk]

Basically they are ending all of the cheese of Crota's End, only radiants from the first chest and it's possible exotic contents are being moved to killing the deathsinger, added rewards is a great move imo,

still no date on the hard raid
I'm gonna max everything next week, cmon Bungie

 

[forza_aldi]

Okay folks, looking for three more for Normal Vault of Glass Hawkian style! I'll take you through if you're new, if not still cool. Jump in and enjoy.

I'm up for it if you're still looking, but if any new runners want my spot that's no problem. PSN forza_aldi

Yeah, the changes are great. Wish they'd reveal when the hard raid goes live.

 

[Byron Bluth]

So the first chest is still there but will give radiant materials only.

Ir Yut now drops the possible exotic, along with armour, class items and radiant materials.

No more cheeseing the bridge or using the lamp to jump up.

Patch is coming this Tuesday. Rest squad lets get it done early per usual haha! Beat the patch!

 

[realcZk]

When are you guys running? I have only gotten one char through so far

Whenever we can find 5-6

 

[brianjones]

whats the fastest way to kill 500 enemies with machine gun?

dark beyond?

just planning ahead for super good advice

 

[Byron Bluth]

"Exotic weapon drops in the Vault of Glass are now Level 32."

Yooooooo

Thank god. So stupid they weren't. Really helps keep it relevant.

 

[Dave_6]

Go for it! Sure we can make it in that time. If not, feel free to jump out

Ok, starting shortly? If I have to I'll just bail out around 8 CST if we're not done yet.

[MrAnderson]

Friends, Countrymen, Gaffers, lend me your ears.

For I am the Lorax. I speak for the cheese. I speak for the cheese, for the cheese has no voice. And I'm asking you all, at the top of my lungs - this hate! This horrible hate for the cheese! Why all this hate for this wonderful cheese?

The cheese isn't good, the cheese isn't bad, the cheese just wishes to lend all Its helping hand. Yet those here and those there, they scream out at the cheese! Wishing for it to be gone with the breeze. Open your eyes, O haters of cheese, for this docile creature only wishes good things for thee.

On a serious note. I've seen,heard,and played with those that decry the easy methods that present themselves in Destiny to make content quicker/easier. I am fine with these methods myself and am not entirely ashamed to admit I have been a cable puller on Crota. I say I am not entirely ashamed because 1.) some people will probably look on me with disgust and 2.) I don't feel like Destiny respects my time fully so t(o.ot) haters be damned! 3.) I am totally fine with doing it the legit way as long as it's not hour 2 and I keep hearing "This time guys....we got it this time for sure!". I sincerely hope that Bungie changes some key mechanics in this game such as the leveling system and the loot system. It's unreasonable to expect people to re-level gear and weapons every 3-6 months. I'm assuming what happened in the current "expansion"/dlc regarding that will continue on well past Comet, and if it does that is a terrible system which does not respect ones time. This also applies to the loot system. I've seen people say they have 2 characters at 32 already while some people can't get that one elusive piece of gear to even be able to get to 32. This happened to many with the #forever29 club, and now it seems #forever31 will happen. This could probably be remedied with a vendor or some such that takes tokens from the Raid as others have mentioned in the past. I say all this to reinforce the fact that Bungie/Destiny does not really seem to respect the time of players and that the cheesy breezy beautiful methods that make things easier in this game shouldn't be looked down on so much. I realize the Crota cable pull method is pretty bad, but when people get stuck on Crota for hours it's easy to see why some people do it. Then, with those terrible memories in hand, they continue to do it because they simply don't have the time to dick around all day trying to kill Crota. It's also easy to say something along the lines of "Well those people just need to have a good party/communication/should be part of a gaming community like this!" The majority of people who play this game probably don't know of communities like this and get stuck with LFG parties, and who the hell wouldn't want to pull the Crota cable in some of those parties?

Aside from that major cheese method even the minor ones garner some form of hate and they really shouldn't. Not unless Bungie starts to respect the time of the gamers and make doing everything the way it was intended to be played worth while.

Just my random thought for the day.

Oh I expected them to remove that chest altogether. It's just sitting right there. For how stingy this game is with everything, I'm surprised it can still spawn in the first spot and have mats.

They're good changes for making CE less of a joke, and expected, but nothing I'm actually happy about.

 

[Sketch_Turntable]

Pit Encounter
Removed the physics impulse caused by exploding lanterns.

Is this the shortcut from the second lamp explosion boosting you up?

 

[brianjones]

what does level 32 weapons mean? 331 damage?

 

[ComputerMKII]

I feel like urk's writing style becomes dangerously close do DeeJ's

Also, have you seen that video by Datto where he addresses critics?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAyVAEBAo54

 

[Hawkian]

Alright, I like eeeeeverything listed for this upcoming patch, except this one:

Removed the physics impulse caused by exploding lanterns.

Always reminded me of an NES-era glitch, was fun. Ohhh well.

Everything else is really quite groovy.

Let the Crota cheese reckoning begin.

Also

Iron Banner will return, with updated rewards, running from January 13th through January 19th.

I'm so there.

 

[vctor182]

My first full Crota Raid, I normally only went to the first chest but I joined a party during a VoG and we were pretty good (got a VoC finally!). Got hunter raid legs and gauntlets, a second Suros and finally RNGesus blesses me with a good sniper, Black Hammer!

 

[Frenden]

The patch makes it harder for lone wolves who seldom get to raid to see real loot, but I can't argue that it isn't fair. It makes sense.

I am sad to see three easily solo-able rolls for an exotic disappear though.

 

[darkistheway]

All the changes to Crota's End are totally as expected.

Doesn't sound like soloing the bridge part will be possible anymore... although I think you can form the bridge by yourself? Didn't I see someone do that?

[noomi]

Ok, I'm actually really ok with this update.

I jumped to conclusions before reading through it all. Crota changes I am very pleased about, I actually like the bridge encounter and don't mind doing it. Sure it will take longer, but it's fun. Less cheese is good.

Yogurt dropping exotics is also a great addition. No more skipping that fight and getting Crota CP's lol. Whatever it's like a 3 min fight anyway.

Wish they had level 32 exotic weapons for VoG sooner but hey... Better late than never right?

 

[Byron Bluth]

So does the Vex drop at 331 based on the changes to the exotics in VoG?

burning shrine in control and clash

 

[Deku Tree]

So every cheese in the whole CE raid is fixed?

Best news of the update:

"Exotic weapon drops in the Vault of Glass are now Level 32."

Hopefully that means they are 331 attack...

So people will be able to take a shot at the first chest exotic on Tuesday morning before the patch hits? And then still have another chance at an exotic during the Deathsinger phase later after the patch?

 

[Hawkian]

Yes.

*shrug* I don't really accept your premises, but whatever. I guess for people that generally like the raid it's good stuff!

The patch makes it harder for lone wolves who seldom get to raid to see real loot, but I can't argue that it isn't fair. It makes sense.

Should still be rather practical to get the first "real" loot drop solo (from walking into the light), just not so instantaneous.

I am sad to see three rolls for an exotic disappear though.

Disappear? You won't be able to get the full raid done?

burning shrine in control and clash

That's the hidden gem in there.

Also I may reenter Control to see the hilarious clusterfuck that is The Anomaly with points.

 

[Nuszka]

God changes with the weekly update especially with vog exotic weapon drops, will be running hard from now on at least on two of my guardians. Just make the vog specific weapons with 331 attack and I am happy - wishful thinking, but it's always nice to dream.

Probably not, I bet patch goes live at reset. This seems like a server side update rather than client, no new content just fixes.

 

[140.85]

The exotics chest isn't gone. It just only gives out shards now. You'll need to kill Ir Yut for the exotic drop.

 

[gdt]

Fantastic update.

And it's always been 2 rolls at an exotic.

 

[Deku Tree]

Probably not, I bet patch goes live a reset.

Has that ever happened before?

 

[SnakeEyes]

Nah, I like this- loot spot added to Deathsinger, that can include exotics. First check just mats. Fair trade.

I can definitely get behind this. That Deathsinger fight feels so empty with no lootdrops ~_~

As for Todd still not getting HoPF...

 

[soundpross]

damn wished i got ghorn before the patch i wanted to try solo flawless CE

 

[Frenden]

Hawkian, they disappear for me. I never get on with a full group. I'm not against the patch, so don't read too far into my post!
