It seems everyone's already tried the raid and it only came out yesterday

People just going for lvl 31 to make it easier. I should be able to make it to 31 soon I think.

Looking for two for Nightfall.
Ready to start when full (after visiting the tower)
Either you have it unlocked or I can start it on my Alt and then switch characters immediately.

Just join my fireteam if you want

PS4 DekuBleep

Wait I don't need to have it unlocked to do it if I just join you? Then I'm down, I did it on my main already. Level 30 Hunter.

 

[Twilight Gap]

it's weird that Dinklege isn't back, right? Regardless of how you feel about his voice performance it's weird to not hear his voice.

can't say i blame him.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

I don't get why we can't repeat the first mission? SO we basically get 2 story mission, not 3.

[The Mango Sentinel]

anyone? i really want to play now but i don't have the mission.

It is possible that you need to level up more since her missions start out at level 26 I believe.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Any GAF team beat the new raid yet?

 

[irfaanator]

I called this happening like five threads ago, it's a convoluted system that virtually requires you to keep a spreadsheet out in order to determine personal goals. It's also not helped by a U.I that hides specific data points you kind of need to know two or three layers deep into a menu system. Then there's the fact that outside of running up to the specific people in the tower there's no way to figure out the rep for characters at a glance virtually requiring you to use the website if you want to know which faction would be closest to the level up goal. I think you've said you're pretty casual in how you approach this game so I don't know if you have multiple alts but that makes it even more infuriating since none of that progress is shared.

As an anecdote: I was partied up with a bunch of guys while we tried to figure out how we could most efficiently reach lvl31 to complete the raid and it was a laughable prolonged 20 minute sequence of back of the napkin math.

I just hit 20 and had/still have no idea what factions are/do lol

 

[Jinjo]

Jesus. Last three ROC strikes atleast one person in the fireteam got a legendary engram or legendary ship (a new one even! In red, motherfucker) except for yours truly offcourse.

Also, Mars strikes all day everyday it seems...

 

[realcZk]

Hunter and Warlock are both 31, locked and loaded for Crota's End on Friday

Don't think I'll be able to get my Titan there though, really want the new ver of helm of saint 14.

 

[Deku Tree]

In!
I have it unlocked.

Ok. I'll join you both after I pickup weapons in tower.

 

[Squall ASF]

How are the vanguard weapons btw? Any standouts?

I've got all the vanguard armor now but I have a commendation to spend. Staying far away from The Devil You Don't. 5 rounds for a HC is awful.

I believe Hide and Seek was a Vanguard or Crucible weapon, right? I got one as a drop but it's identical perk-wise to Found Verdict without the oracle damage bonus but obviously higher base damage so basically, a better version of FV. I think FV was a weapon people liked using in Crucible?

 

[Twilight Gap]

I don't get why we can't repeat the first mission? SO we basically get 2 story mission, not 3.

maybe it'll unlock on friday. unless they're treating it like the first mission of the game where you can't go back anymore because of a gate...

 

[Poker Face]

[Greenymac]

Room for me?

Yup there's room. Add Greenymac.

 

[Dante316]

How do I play the 2 new strikes. I see the undying mind on mars. Where is the 2nd one? Im on ps4.

 

[Poker Face]

destinystatus.com?

yes! thank you

 

[pj]

Yeah it was weird to hear a voice telling me something without thinking "ughhhh shutupshutupshutup"

 

[Greenymac]

Are you on ps4 or xb1?

We only need one got 5 here now... either you or katana strikes can add and join now.

 

[Kensuke]

Took down Crota with fellow gaffers DontBrickMeBro, Quint and Suntervotion.

It was amazing.

 

[LordofPwn]

Any GAF team beat the new raid yet?

My team came close. got to the last part in like 3h 15min. closed down for the day at 4h in. beat the 1st part first try. hella fun.

 

[Orthogonal]

Anyone else up for Nightfall? PS4

That's it. You're fired.

We now have an opening for the raid this Friday as Byte couldn't get his Titan there. Asshole. Lazy fucking asshole.

How exactly did you grind your second character to 31 so quickly? Last night I didn't think you were that close...

 

[Twilight Gap]

anyone else notice that expansion pass rare items are also higher attack?

 

[Kensuke]

Any GAF team beat the new raid yet?

We just did. Sword user needs to be 31.

 

[LiK]

The first part of CE was more fun than any part of VoG. No waiting, you just fucking go.

 

[spyder_ur]

How are people getting to 31? Raid armor drops?

 

[Ambitious]

Shader being items instead of unlockables is so goddamn annoying.

 

[LiK]

How are people getting to 31? Raid armor drops?

Vendor armors

 

[xplicitone]

How are people getting to 31? Raid armor drops?

You can buy every piece of gear with 33 light level from vendors to get you to 31. Some people combine that with new raid gear drops and/or exotic nightfall drops.

Ah, total brainfart, I have been thinking you needed a new exotic to get there, since I don't have the marks for a helmet.

 

[Dante316]

Anyone else up for Nightfall? PS4

I can do it, I haven't unlocked but I can join u if u have, lvl 30 warlock.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Anyone else up for Nightfall? PS4

Me if you still have soace

 

[Dave_6]

Just got these two within 5 mins of each other. This came from the first chest in Crota's raid on my 3rd attempt at it (along with two shards)

Got this (finally) from a legendary engram I got Sunday with my 27 Warlock. Been wanting this forever as I'm an exotic 'collector' lol. Obviously the engram was before the DLC so it's the lower attack rating.

 

[Byron Bluth]

You know I will brother...

Thanks so much! Send me a PSN message when I can come grab it!

 

[TheOMan]

Um - not sure if this has been discussed already, but it looks like there is a daily reset on drops from clearing areas in the raid? Can anybody confirm???

[blackjaw]

Is the newer Hard light any good? Just got it from a random Roc strike. Attack at 302. I was running around with my VOC or Vex as my primary (depending on if I was using icebreaker). Not sure if I should level this or wait.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

We just did. Sword user needs to be 31.

Congrats, how many shards did you get?

 

[ERMint13]

We just did. Sword user needs to be 31.

Spoiler

So the sword part after the DeathSinger is the end of the raid? We have gotten to that part and we only have 30's

 

[Orthogonal]

I can do it, I haven't unlocked but I can join u if u have, lvl 30 warlock.

Me if you still have soace

Let's do it

 

[Kensuke]

Need 1 more for a fresh Crota raid. We're only going until the second chest. No Deathsinger or Crota.

 

[Darknyss09]

A few GAFers tried earlier but didn't get loot again. There is a theory that the fireteam leader needs to have not done the raid yet for it to work. But I don't think anyone here has confirmed that yet.

I haven't touched the raid (other than the first chest) so I am willing to try it if there are others interested.

 

[Mike_Hawk689]

One more spot for nightfall. PSN: Mike_Hawk689

 

[Dynedom]

Finally hit level 30. Woot.

 

[Twilight Gap]

lol at the quests from eris

"farm the enemies you farmed last week worded slightly different"

i'd be more impressed if there was a "kill 1000 hive during a strike" for a hive hand cannon bounty. tedious? yes. grindy? indeed. but don't reskin the same bounties...

 

[Auto_aim1]

Took down Crota with fellow gaffers DontBrickMeBro, Quint and Suntervotion.

Can you tell us your strat? Spoiler marked of course.

Apparently he missed the memo Titans rule in the new raid.

 

[PuMa]

I haven't gotten the upgraded one, but I really liked it overall. It's got a stability buff too, which is great. It just feels like a beast with that awesome fire sound effect.

 

[Kensuke]

Congrats, how many shards did you get?

Spoiler

No shards from Crota I think. We all got the shader, emblem and a new raid weapon.

Spoiler

So the sword part after the DeathSinger is the end of the raid? We have gotten to that part and we only have 30's

Spoiler

It's the end. Yeah, you can beat the Deathsinger with 30's, but you just don't do enough damage against Crota.
