If you are a Raid noob and would like to join in, just quote this post and i'll add you to the list.

Invites will be sent out at approximately 8pm with the raid probably starting at 8:30 because it always takes time and people have to go to the tower.

Can Iron Banner gear get you to lvl 30?
Click to expand...

You can get boots and gloves from IB that will get you to 30 as long as you have Raid pieces for the remaining slots or Raid/Exotic combo.

Beaten: didn't refresh lol.

I expected to play more IB than I have, but being at 30 already is little incentive. Guess I'll play a little and hope for some IB item drops.

i got shotguns impregnated permanently into my Special Weapons slot in my mind.

I will practice in Rumble to try to get the timing right but Invictive 2 taps + Melee does it for me

on blind watch if the enemy team take B and C you get spawn camped like silly.

and fuck the suros, it's pissing me off now.
Click to expand...

If that happens you basically have to ignore B and have most players push for C, Blind Watch even with the fixes still favours C spawn so it's best to ignore A entirely. If you play with randoms, in my experience, too many of them do everything they can to capture B thinking it's the most important one when switching the spawns should be the aim (so the same as it's always been).

Fusion rifles are still my annoyance in crucible, they seem to be the main weapons that kill me and tons of that happens from a fair distance away too.

I wonder how that works for people that join into a solo game. Does it automatically scale whenever they join, or is it based on when a boss battle occurs? Or is it only easier when you start with a full party? I had two people join up with me during the final boss fight, and the only thing that seemed different was the fact that enemies weren't just shooting at me.

What's the drinking part?
Click to expand...

Hawkian said:
That's a reasonable question, seems like pretty crucial information left out of that post XD
Click to expand...

The Vault of Glass Drinking Game v1.0.1 is where you drink:
if you die
if there's a glitch
if an enemy sacrifices or controls a sync plate
if you lose the spire
if you get marked
if you wipe
if you fail the jumping puzzle (drink twice if you're me)
*if you kill yourself with a rocket or grenade (counts if you stick an enemy and they rush you) drink twice
*if you accidentally fall off a ledge drink twice
*pull a fig drink twice

Hotfix v1.0.1
Added extra instances for drinking requirements.
Fixed UI element for Title.

I dont expect any of the noobs to do this.

Also my roommate is joining so we now only need 2 more!

I was playing solo last night in patrol and it felt like enemies were hitting a little harder than normal, I wonder if this affects patrol as well.

I love how Bungie said "We acknowledge that this is undesirable for many players and we are considering different ways to solve these problems."

How fucking difficult is it to just include matchmaking? Holy shit.

Oh and I actually think it's stupid that they made the nightfalls easier.

Bungie was always "you guys play the game the way WE want you to play it" never mind if some silly design choices need to be done or not

I reached Rank 2 in IB last night and so far I feel like it is even more fun than regular Crucible. The best part is I am still getting crucible marks and rep for participating in IB!

My usual loadout is:

TDYK - primary
Invective - special
The Swarm - heavy

Lots of head shots from both the primary and heavy with Invective in there for close quarters. If I had TLW maxed I would swap out TDYK but maybe that will happen for next time. Of course if I did that I would have to find another shotgun choice.

My regular 3 man fireteam has a just over 50% winning percentage so far in IB. If we had a full 6 I imagine we would clean up but even with winning every other game or so we're making decent progress. It's fun!

Good for the people who spend time looking for team mates on message boards then. I only play solo, matchmaking, or with real life friends and since most of my friends have already given up on this game and Bungie refuses to implement matchmaking, not much left for me to do with this game now I guess.

Actually, the change made it so that there's no scaling at all. They reduced the damage taken from enemies and lowered the overall HP of enemies as they were previously scaled from a group of 3, and then applied those values regardless of how many people are in the group. So if you're soloing, you're firing on the "real" version of the enemies, they're not scaled down because you're alone. But they're easier than the "full group" version of enemies before the patch.

That is unrelated. It is literally referring to people who desire the experience of soloing and dislike the increased difficulty.

The idea wasn't to make them considerably easier so much as to make it easier to do in a group than to solo

Lol, I would have been drunk off my ass if we did this during Hawkian's newbie raid last night. I'll check in later if you're still looking for newbs though. I could try it with my warlock but I really need to get some things done today.

I'm in if you still have a spot. Level 29 Hunter who ran the vault for the first time last week. PSN DoubleB22.

I also have a buddy, a 28 Titan, who will go if there is room.

I'd have had no objection

although "killing yourself with a rocket launcher" seems mysteriously absent from his list of reasons to drink twice!

XD thank you

the crazy thing is.. I actually like DeeJ's prose. It's just so ill-suited to "disseminating boring but easily-digestible and factually accurate information to rabid gamers."

I entered IB at 29 to get my boots and gloves. I have an alt at 26 with maxed, good weapons (hawkmoon, suros, red hand, icebreaker, pocket infinity, and more). Do you think it'd be competitive? It would save me from sinking mats into its current legendary gear any further to get the boots and gloves now.
