Allright! We should probably make a PSN chat no?

Also lol. Pocket Infinity nightfall kills is pisseasy this week with the Mythoclast. Still, even with solar burn the mythoclast feels underpowered with Suros for instance.

 

[bosseye]

Anyone looking for one more for the raid?

Level 29 Warlock, some raid experience on normal (done most of the Templar and done Atheon entirely).

PSN is BarryFishFinger send me an invite, on now!

 

[The Lamonster]

Are any Faction weapons really standout? Most of the stuff I've kept is Vanguard or Crucible. The other vendors haven't made me look twice yet.

oh yes. Vanquisher XIII (auto rifle) from New Monarchy is amazing. Highest legendary auto rifle stability with the Perfect Balance perk.

 

[DY_nasty]

Level 27 Hunter. PSN ID (PS4) DY_nastyIV

looking for a normal raid today. my first go round

I've been putting it off for forever.

 

[Coconut]

That makes no sense.

How do you figure?

OK, then. I'm starting a second group. Let's see who defeats Crota first. If anyone wants to join, tell me!

Crota's End (Blind), - Team B - Friday 12th (7pm GMT or 8.30pm GMT) - PlayStation 4

• ComputerMKII (ComputerMkII) - Level 30 Titan
• DarrylMR (Darryl_M_R) - Level 29 hunter (soon to be 30)
• 140.85 (androo2300) - Level 30 Hunter
• Rubenov (Rubenov25) - Level 30 Warlock
• Dhruv_hanom (Dhruv_Hanom) - Level 30 Titan

[MandrakeUK]

Can you make 6:45 US Eastern time?

Thats around 12am my time I guess.

Yeah I can stay up for that as if our past runs are anything to go by, it should only take around an hour, if that hopefully.

 

[E92 M3]

I wish we could join a faction without have to change the class item. I really like the cloak I'm wearing now (Cosmic Joke) and don't want to change it.

 

[Ambitious]

Be honest guys. Is the shadow price worth upgrading to the max or just forget it?

Gun sux as is

It's my go-to weapon for both PvE and PvP. It's got both Field Scout (42 rounds per magazine) and Third Eye (ADS radar), so it's bloody amazing.

Perfect. Just to see what our team is looking like maybe we can share our class/level? I'll be going as a level 30 Titan. Assuming the new Raid is two level higher than the current one, it'll start with level 28 enemies and end with level 30 ones. I'm guessing being 29 would be the minimum level to have a shot at this?

 

[rNilla]

Also does anyone else hoard shaders and emblems? I don't have room for all this junk.

 

[Greenymac]

Looking to do a hard raid about 6:45 PM Eastern time today. Ive already got 3 ready to roll and leaving a space for my man mandrake if he wants in. If MandrakeUk cant make it then I will need 3.

1.Greeny the Unwed
2.TysonBane
3. Dracovore
4. MandrakeUK(if he responds and wants the spot)
5. xplicitone
6.

Make it Quick and painless boys. I have never used the relic on the templar so I want to do that. By the time I was comfortable with the relic, we were all giving the templar the Steve Urkel treatment, but now i can learn.

Still looking for one more for hard raid at 6:45 Eastern time...

 

[deadlast]

I also need to take out Xyor. I can do it tonight if you want.

Excellent. I should be on tonight. If can't be on for some reason, I will wait till you can do it as well.
My psn is deadlastvita

 

[ocean]

Still looking for one more for hard raid at 6:45 Eastern time...

I'm in greeny. To make sure there's no time zone confusion, how many hours from now will that be?

 

[Strider]

Well. I'm now as ready for Crota's End as I can be...

Wish I had a Gjallarhorn and FateBringer to throw into the mix, but either way those knight and wizard shields are going down

 

[The Lamonster]

Destiny is $45 @ Amazon today only.

Recruit your friends!

[Kaiken]

I wish we could join a faction without have to change the class item. I really like the cloak I'm wearing now (Cosmic Joke) and don't want to change it.

I believe you could now. Just need to change to the class emblem.

 

[X-Frame]

Does anyone else have regular Legendary rocket launchers with Homing rockets?

I was lucky to get 2 of them; one is Solar and one is Arc. Should come in handy for Crota's End as well.

Hope we can go for the 8:30PM I could be on a little earlier if I'm fast after work.

[Pickman]

Be honest guys. Is the shadow price worth upgrading to the max or just forget it?

Gun sux as is

Did you buy it or get it from an engram/level up package? The for-sale one is kinda meh, but mine has Field Scout and the super-fast reload after emptying a clip perk, so I'm a goddamned bullet hose in PvP. 42 rounds and then less than half a second to the next clip.

I'm not a fan of the "recover from near death, get faster reload" perk on the vanguard vendor one.

 

[Greenymac]

I'm in greeny. To make sure there's no time zone confusion, how many hours from now will that be?

4 hours from now, my man!

 

[Darryl M R]

Still looking for one more for hard raid at 6:45 Eastern time...

Im down PSN: Darryl_M_R. Level 29 hunter, just did hard mode raid earlier today so I know how to beat the templar legit (have completed it over 15 times. . no chest still) [if someone can't make it, I'm down for being an alt--I am available for sure at that time]

Also if your friend never reply I would love to take his spot.

 

[Johan Liebert]

Wish I had a Gjallarhorn and FateBringer to throw into the mix, but either way those knight and wizard shields are going down

Is it confirmed the Knights will be shielded? It's not like Harpies and Supplicants in the VoG are. Only wizards should be shielded.

 

[E92 M3]

Well. I'm now as ready for Crota's End as I can be...

Do you notice the damage difference with the hit to impact? I think I do, but I might be crazy.

I believe you could now. Just need to change to the class emblem.

I thought that, too, but the emblems require at least one rank. Can you test it?

 

[Strider]

Is it confirmed the Knights will be shielded? It's not like Harpies and Supplicants in the VoG are. Only wizards should be shielded.

No. But just in case I'm prepared. It's certainly possible considering all of the "more damage vs stronger hive" bonuses to the new raid weapons.

 

[ocean]

4 hours from now, my man!

Sweet. Never done legit Templar on Hard so this'll be interesting to say the least Anyone know if Oracles are still killed from the roof?

 

[Darryl M R]

OK, then. I'm starting a second group. Let's see who defeats Crota first. If anyone wants to join, tell me!

I'm down, PSN: Darryl_M_R (level 29 hunter--but I caved and bought an exotic chest so regardless if I get the raid chest this week I'll be level 30 by then)

 

[Izuna]

Playing to look for Fatebringer. I had a Gjallahorn but didn't level it up, I didn't know why it was good.

Finding a group on LFG takes far too long... Massively decided against using Patience and Time and may end up dismantling it.

Awesome! I've updated the list.

 

[Hiko]

Excellent. I should be on tonight. If can't be on for some reason, I will wait till you can do it as well.

Cool. I'll send you a FR as soon as PSN sorts itself out lol.

 

[ocean]

No. But just in case I'm prepared. It's certainly possible considering all of the "more damage vs stronger hive" bonuses to the new raid weapons.

You never know though. I mean Supplicants are like stronger harpies but aren't shielded. Fanatics weren't either. From the start I've found it curious that nothing in the VoG other than Praetorians is shielded.

Having enemies with different elemental shields would be a good way to add a strategic element to the Raid, since different party members would for instance load out with specific targets in mind. Let's see how they handle this, but I'd love elements to be a more important factor in Raiding load out decisions.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Sweet. Never done legit Templar on Hard so this'll be interesting to say the least Anyone know if Oracles are still killed from the roof?

Yup.... Took us a while to do it, but with three DPS we just couldn't get enough DPS on him. We ended up with two people down below, me (29) using the relic and a '30 bodyguard'. That worked but he still ended up enraging and I died. Man I miss the cheese lol. I got 6 shards for all of that everything else was so much easier in comparison...

 

[MrS]

Perfect. Just to see what our team is looking like maybe we can share our class/level? I'll be going as a level 30 Titan.

30 Warlock with both subclasses maxed.

 

[ComputerMKII]

By the way, one person from each team should stream their CE blind run (I can't, not enough bandwidth) so everyone can follow the race

 

[noomi]

unrelated... but is anyone else having issues adding people as friends on PSN, I'm searching some guys I'm supposed to raid with in 45min and can't find them

 

[moris]

Why are you guys doing the new raid on Friday the 12th? Doesn't it come on the 9th? I thought I read somewhere it's available on Day 1 of the expansion. Am I mistaken?

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Playing to look for Fatebringer. I had a Gjallahorn but didn't level it up, I didn't know why it was good.

Finding a group on LFG takes far too long... Massively decided against using Patience and Time and may end up dismantling it.

I wonder why.....

 

[DrDrizzay101]

I remember someone mentioned that assists count towards the Thorn bounty but I have never confirmed this.

Not sure if this was straightened out already or not, but assists do not count for the Thorn bounty. They only count with the Invective bounty, and the text has been updated to reflect this.


Edit: Also, is there nobody that wants to be 3rd on a skirmish steam roller? Nobody wants to do Crucible on reset day.

 

[ocean]

That sounds good! A little friendly competition sounds interesting I'm guessing there's the possibility of running around like idiots for a while though if there's something similar to the Gorgon Maze Still have no clue how the first teams had the patience to figure that place out.

 

[Johan Liebert]

Let's see how they handle this, but I'd love elements to be a more important factor in Raiding load out decisions.

using the Nightall/Xyor strike/Queen missions as examples, only those missions with the Epic modifier have a second shielded enemy type. VoG hard is only Heroic. Unless the raid somehow does have that I doubt there would be a second type of shielded enemy.

Seeing as how level 30 is Normal it makes sense that the Hard version would be the Heroic raid.

 

[Mattiator]

Going to run 3 Nightfalls then if quick enough 3 dailies.

Ps4 I'm starting if you want to join Mattiator85

Titanbro representing. Level 30 too. Weapons of choice will be maxed Ballarhorn, Arc Epitaph and Vision of Confluence. Just got Fatebringer last sunday so I'm looking to level that one too before we start. Level 29 is definitely the minimum, but 30 is obviously preferred.

Hope we can go for the 8:30PM I could be on a little earlier if I'm fast after work.

Details: psn is noomi85 , level 30 hunter

Anywhere from 7 to 8 pm GMT works fine for me. I'm in the GMT+1 timezone though and have to work the next day (ugh), so I can't make it superlate. Like max 12 pm GMT, but preferably a little earlier lol. Or I might say fuck it and call in sick if we're going hard haha.

Also, Computer, your challenge has been accepted lol. Let's see who gets the furthest day one. (I fully expect us to need atleast two sittings)

 

[firehawk12]

Got a Hawkmoon. :O

 

[Kaiken]

I thought that, too, but the emblems require at least one rank. Can you test it?

Haven't even tried a different faction yet. Just read that from the change log.

Sorry Daryl, ocean took the last spot and mandrake has confirmed his spot. Shoot me friend request and if anyone has issues and cant go, then Ill invite promptly.

 

[DiscreteCat]

Anyone for a quick normal raid?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Is it confirmed the Knights will be shielded? It's not like Harpies and Supplicants in the VoG are. Only wizards should be shielded.

Not confirmed but the Knight that is carrying the "blade of crota" or whatever that spawns now since the update has an arc shield.

 

[Hzoltan69]

I'm probably taking my warlock, but I have a lvl 30 in all three classes, so I can swap to any of them if necessary.

 

[Strider]

I'm prepared just in case. That's it. I'm not arguing there will or won't be shields on the knights lol You don't need to convince me of anything.
