this neither funny nor a story.

and you are not a coconut

None of the weapons or gear has been updated in the VoG. This includes exotics. It still drops the old versions.

Hmm, not sure how I feel about this. I guess it's good because everyone doesn't have to re-run the the VoG an deal with its shitty RNG again, but at the same time I really feel like there should be an 'exotic shard' equivalent for legendaries.

Fuck, make it DLC exclusive, or a drop from Crota's end or something. Without it Bungie are risking creating a culture where all raid legendaries get thrown away every 3 months when the new DLC comes out, and are replaced by vendor legendaries. Dunno. Feels quite cheap to tell a player "holy shit this gun is the best, you've beaten the hardest thing ever", only to have a vendor turn up casually with a superior gun a month or two later.

Haha, great post! And I agree completely. Can you imagine doing that part every week or even 3x a week if you have 3 appropriately leveled characters. Unless there are strategies that we've yet to discover, it seems there is very little room for error as just 1 death could mean a wipe and it'll just be stressful each time.

However, one thing I am thinking now is that maybe if the deaths aren't too sudden and at the beginning -- if we can just leave them behind (just for that section) and the remaining just keep going. If just 1 person needs to make it "to the light" then I'd imagine only 1 person technically needs to make it to the bridge. Of course anyone but a Saint-14 Defender or a Sunsinger would likely get overrun in a second, but my point is if 3 or 4 people remain at that point and then it can be done.

My thought process is that 1 death causes everyone to stop and then get overrun for minutes. If those that are safe just keep going it may only take 5 minutes to get to the end and with little hassle. Thoughts? If too many die then the end defending section will be harder but I think the way it allows for just 1 person to make it to the light for everyone to progress means they intended for people to be left behind.

The attempt that we made it across on was far from clean!

cake possibly not a lie

Hahaha possibly not! So you're saying there's a chance?

Whew! Did not look forward to Dancing with the Thrall Season 2.

...nice.

 

[Strider]

I didn't expect the VoG weapons to get a damage buff but I was really surprised to find that even the old exotics dropped in the VoG... Figured they would just remove the old exotics altogether.

RIP VoG

 

[raindoc]

VoG still drops 30/300 gear, right?

EDIT: nevermind...

 

[zewone]

Yep. Still worth running VoG to get Fatebringer, Praedyth's Timepiece, and Epilogue if people don't already have them.

Vision of Confluence and Mythoclast as well.

Yes, but you can buy better gear from vendors now.

i need weekly, psn is bytestyle

 

[ocean]

Yep. Still worth running VoG to get Fatebringer, Praedyth's Timepiece, and Epilogue if people don't already have them.

Timepiece never dropped for me only VoG loot I don't own. Still, never liked Pulse Rifles.

I need a 331 Fatebringer though. It is The Exploder of Thrall. Nothing compares

 

[Namikaze1]

Someone else needs to test this out.

If this works, we need someone who hasn't run it yet to replace math for the night.

Are you trying to come up with any possible way to leave me behind?

 

[Geneijin]

Looking for 1 more for Hard VoG on PS4. 1 31 and 4 30s

PSN Kopyasu

 

[LiK]

I never got FateBringer. I would love to replay Hard VoG just to see if I get that. If anyone will help, that would be great. Should be easier for you 31s!

 

[LTWood12]

Vision of Confluence and Mythoclast as well.


Yes, but you can buy better gear from vendors now.

For sure! I actually still need both.

 

[xplicitone]

But with patience and time, maybe it can happen? Nah why am I kidding myself, It'll just be the fate of all fools to believe anything but the truth.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

it makes zero sense to me.

Why would you not want people re-doing old content? there is so little to do in the game as it is.

 

[Geneijin]

Last week I got Fatebringer, Praedyth's Timepiece, and Praetorian's Foil in one run. Friend running it w/ me got FB, PF, and Hard Light. I still need the Mythoclast and VoC.

 

[rNilla]

Can we finish our 1st one first? i need like a few more bounites and i'll be lvl 31

That's what I meant but it's all bullshit anyway.

 

[Twilight Gap]

maybe atheon's epilogue is finally finished

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Is that confirmed, if so that really blows. Was going to be one of the only reasons I would still run it.

Meh, I'll still run it for Fatebringer for the new raid. I just don't have any Arc primaries.

 

[zewone]

it makes zero sense to me.

Why would you not want people re-doing old content? there is so little to do in the game as it is.

Updating the gear to 32 light and 331 attack has to be extremely easy.

 

[Geneijin]

I'm at work atm but I can try again this week.

Oh alright, thanks. I'll keep you in mind then.

Haha,

or me when I fall into a hole.

Either way, it sounds like X-Frame is trying to steal all the glory for himself.

 

[purg3]

Meh, I'll still run it for Fatebringer for the new raid. I just don't have any Arc primaries.

Yeah I still need that as well.

 

[Tawpgun]

First Impressions on No Land Beyond:

6 clip bolt action means a lot of time is spent in the reload animation.

Iron sights are kind of busy and often occlude things while ads.

Looks cool.

Takes my primary slot which could go to more efficient weapons

I'm really trying to find a reason this gun exists.

For dank ass montage clips man.

 

[everyday math]

nobody can replace you

Ignoring my invites will you!

 

[Byron Bluth]

So ranking my Hunter to Rank 1 of Crucible will not get me a commendation? This correct?

Already been left behind T_T

Really? Don't say that! if I get left behind again I'm just returning this shit.

[gutter_trash]

I think it's just the glimmer and the Exotic Shard. 7 Coins is what that Exotic Shard will sell for though.

I had 2 old Invective, one more upgraded than the other. The more upgraded one gave me 2 Exotic Shards when I sharded it while the less upgraded one gave me only 1.

(don't worry, I submitted a new Invective bounty post-DLC)

I would recomend sharded excessive unused Exotic Weapons. If you sat on an exotic weapon and never played it, never upgraded, never liked it. Then shard it for shards.

I sharded my old Invectives because I worked to get a new one when the Bounty became available last week
