4th raid finished, still no raid gear, forever 29.

On the plus side I got Vision of Confluence and I guess the sparrow is ok. Everything else was ascendent shards. At least it didn't give me the same sniper rifle for the 4th time in a row.

One of the people I was playing with finally got raid boots after his 12th try and he pretty excited. Good for him, I just wish this shit wasn't so random.

You need at least 10 clears to quality for #Forever29 :p

If anybody needs 1 more for normal/hard raid, let me know, I still need to complete on my alt character. I missed an invite earlier, guess I was so focused on IB and didn't even notice lol. PSN: GhostFaceDon, lvl29/30 warlock.

That's fucking ridiculous. It didn't take me anywhere near that many raids to max my first char. I think shards/energy should be limited to the chests because goddamn.

Amen. You should be guaranteed at least one piece of gear every run. The piece can be random so people will get duplicates but the worst that happens is that it just turns into shards which is all I get anyway now. It's ridiculous how the hardest mission in the game often (at least for me) results in such crappy rewards.

Well on my 7th raid I finally got some raid armor. I had gloves drop after the oracles, and then unfortunately I had another set of gloves drop immediately after when we killed the Templar. When it rains, it pours.

Thats because you refuse to acknowledge the sacrifice RNGesus made for you so that you could have better rolls.

Become a believer and it will change.

What's with the new stunt sparrows as well? I don't see how they fit into the current game universe at all. Like the Guardians are meant to be the top of the top soliders/mercanaries protecting the last of humanity and fighting back against the darkness, yet they're out there now pulling sweet stunts, flips an shit. It's just such a clash of themes I thought I wouldn't see until later in the games life cycle. It's so silly and out of place.

Edit: Actually it fits in with dancing quiet well. As in, not at all in the slightest.
Click to expand...

Maybe I missed it in the thread but for anyone with the new sparrow can you still dance on it? If so, does it work in combination with these new stunt moves? Will decide to purchase based on this.
Already bought but forgot to test last night.

Fully agree on point C. That one was pretty bad since it was open on all sides.
But they could have just closed down the window and put up a wall to the side of the ravine.

Don't agree on B at all. Besides the door, you also had the 2 stairways you could use to approach the point.
Right now you can throw a grenade from either side and clear the point as its so open.

Really hate these changes on the map. I don't even see why A is where it is now. :-/
Click to expand...

As I said before, the spawn points also make B even worse. One time I was killing people in loops, I originally came into B through the higher point door and killed about three people at B. Then after that they ALMOST immediately kept coming back through the bottom entrance, wave after wave, kill one, another would come in, kill another, another would run in from the same door, kill another and another, eventually they came in too rapidly.

Yeah, the spawn system certainly seems worse now as well.
Had something similar happen on Venus just now. Even though on both occasions it ended up in my favour, this really shouldn't work like that. I even felt sorry for the one that downed me as I spawned right behind him.

RNjesus really hates me, shards all the way with the cream on top "Monte Carlo"

I mean of all the exotics that could have rolled, had to be one that I already have maxed out and a pretty mediocre one at best.......

I'll never be 30 or get an Icebreaker i know it

That is tough, don't give up hope. You just have to have maxed out alts and try a lot.

Gonna try to get the old band back together for a Raid after Arrow tonight. Should be fine unless the wife has other plans (Scooby Doo Mystery, Inc. on Netflix).

Oh man that sucks.
RNG does love to give us duplicates... No trading system is a let down for sure.

I just want to hit 30 before Dark Below. I don't even give a shit about the story or multiplayer in that DLC, I just wanna see the freaking raid.
Click to expand...

You don't need to be 30 to do the new raid it starts at L28 I read here on GAF. No way would Bungie be that crazy to bar out paying customers from entering the raid. They gotta keep dangling those carrots and luring folks to the brand new Casino slot machines in the new DLC

Wow, this is the fifth server issue I've had today. Random boots to Orbit, and now a Crucible match just went tits up. The fuck, Bungie? Having Activision backing them makes the numerous server issues seem that much more annoying.

Goddammit, 3 templar clears in one evening, still no Fatebringer. This gun eludes me so. I stopped counting along the way because it destroys my soul so, but I'm least 0/12 if not more than that.

I should stop doing the raid really.

Thanks to all the boys and girls I played with today. Shards and energies for everyone!

I'd trade you my Fatebringer for a goddamn helmet for my titan. All I want is that damn helmet!

Pretty sure I've run just over 50 raids now and don't have a level 30. I cannot get the Hunter boots to drop to save my soul. Last week I created my second Hunter to double up and still no dice this week. Same loot. I'd love to tell you it will happen if you stay after it but I really can't be sure.

I'm used to running HM as level 29 now so its not a big deal. I just don't pick up the relic unless its an emergency, which kind of sucks because I like using it.

Bout 1/4 way through rank 2 in IB so I'll have some boots and hopefully be 30 by this weekend, my guess is next Tues raid the piece I was missing will finally drop lol..

Lol, I got three light +30 helmets, of which two exotics, which one do you want?

I sharded a duplicate Saint-14, and two duplicate raid helms last week too.

Maybe I shouldn't complain lol.

Lol. I couldn't buy a win last night. Wasted so much opportunity for XP from playing with randoms.

I sat on 5 medallions for about 5 matches...
Click to expand...

Are you on my friend's list? We got together 6 folks last night and blazed through those randoms (like 20k us to 10k randoms). We did lose once or twice to other organized teams

You can tell right off da bat when you're fighting randoms. just no organization and they're just running around at random. Versus an organized team that's locking down their points and saving their supers for those critical moments.

So is it still blasphemy to want matchmaking for the end game content? Cause the more of my friends that drop off from this to play DA:I, GTA, Far Cry, the less I even want to boot up the game. I mean, the raid, sure I can see why you'd kind of not want to enable matchmaking for that but what reason is there to limit stuff like the dailies, weeklies, or even nightfall?

There's pretty much nothing left for me to do in this game unless I keep watching message boards and plan my playing time in advance which I just can't do.

Fuck this, 15 Raids still no boots. I'll probably have 6 hours max of gametime before IB leaves, can I get rank 3 for boots within that? I'm only rank 1, which carried over from the last IB.
