Sorry this post is so late in the making, I usually try to do them on Tuesdays but yeah, been a sleep-deprived week 
Wednesday, 9:00PM EST - Static Group CE Normal Raid (last night)
While I started out last night with 5/6 of my normal group raiders, I finished it having played with 18 different people over the course of the night's events. I want to thank each and every person who joined up for their patience in letting me hone my skill with the sword and congratulate all of you for whom it was your first kill. My adrenaline was racing so much after my first kill that despite it already being multiple hours too late to be awake, I stuck around for another kill and got Wallach in on the action from the stream.
My static group will be reconvening at 9:00PM on Sunday to finish what we started.
Thursday, 9:00PM EST - Hawkian's Fun Time Happy Newbie Normal/Hard VoG Raid
1. ori0n
2. Ozone (need PSN)
3. Hawkian
4. OPEN
5. OPEN
6. OPEN
These are weekly raids available to all, but intended for newbies to the Vault or those who just aren't comfortable with all aspects of it. Bring your highest leveled character, your best weapon, and your most patient self! All encounters will be explained (quickly, but still) as though it was a new group, so please be willing to listen. These are a great opportunity to take on roles you don't ordinarily get the chance to try- Relic for Templar, inside/outside Gatekeepers, etc.- and just general learn to master the raid. We will employ (or at least demonstrate) tactics for each section that can be applied equally to either Normal or Hard mode. The only restriction on attendance is that participants shouldn't come two weeks in row, just to allow many different GAF Guardians to cycle through. There is no pressure to understand anything before having it explained, and no pointing fingers when things break down. We will laugh at ourselves when we wipe, and then do better the next attempt.
New note: If the group level distribution for one of these is four 30s/two 29s or better, this will shift to becoming a Hard Raid. The biggest restriction by far for a Hard raid is that you cannot revive. If you die, you're dead until the next checkpoint. As a result, it's important to play very conservatively. However, the prospect of having a full six level 30 "newbie" group is becoming more realistic by the day, and I'm confident we could pull it off. However, if you sign up for this run, please do so with the knowledge that it will default to a Normal raid if the numbers aren't in our favor.
Quote and post your PSN for one of the last three slots for tonight!
Saturday, 3:00PM EST -Hawkian's Pay-it-Foward Weekly Heroic/Nightfall Clinic
Can't do my usual Friday evening help this week due to a guild event, but I wanted to make sure to still offer a bit of assistance before Xur leaves, just in case there's anyone scrambling.
Here's the usual deal with this: I guarantee you safe passage through the Weekly Strike of your choice and show you a viable cheesy (for Nightfall) or lactose-free (for Heroic) strategy that is easy to replicate; you use this knowledge to help someone else out when the time comes!
Minimum level for the Clinic is 28 for Nightfall, 27 for Weekly Heroic. No signups for these- just come into the thread at the specified time and post asking for help and I jump in.

Depending on how long Bungie actually worked on CE. Sometimes it seems like about equal, or ~ 2wks

To be honest this one i was just doing the Eris bounty killing sword guy, and using the husk of the pit to lvl it up. Killed the Knight with one to get one.

It's funny, because everything in theory is supposed to require teamwork, but the game's internal systems thwart that by allowing people to basically skip the number checks. I wonder if they even tested the behaviour of the exploding lamps, for example.
The Fall Will Probably Kill You....
Can you tell me what perks/mod it has from the vendor? It's solid all-around in stats. Don't have one to play with yet.
The Chance from the vendor used to be subpar, but the new version has field scout, which takes the mag from 6 to 13. It's just so good.
This is ideal, yes. However, it's also not totally universal. If the group doesn't have ENOUGH Dps, then the Sword can't just call for a break and expect it to get done with enough time. In these cases it's the group's responsibility to keep calling out the percentage Crota's shield is down to so the swordbearer can make a judgment call.
Beautiful lethality, relentless style.

Yo dudes, I dun ran the sword on crota succesfully for the first time. Holy fuck that shit is an adrenaline rush like crazy. Best shit ever yo, I might have to steal sword running duties on our regular runs.
Todd? That was a phase and you know it!

I agree.
Meh...Bungie needs to give more props to it's hardcore community. These dudes aren't making a mockery of Destiny. They're simply setting challenges for themselves that not too many people would ever bother doing. That's the angle Bungie should take on it, IMO.

OK sent you friend request. We are starting right now
Zoba? LiK? They're two cool dudes. I can't help but compliment them! Especially Zoba. He has master the Crucible to a level I will never reach!

Exactly. So much attention to being the world's first, while all that's really about who is committed and able to put in a ridiculous amount of time on release. It's no question of skill, but just trial and error and persistence. So you're the first to beat it, big deal. It gets especially dumb when people claim
achievement when they got world third or fourth lol.
Way more impressed with TheLegendHimself's hard VoG two-man and now solo Crota.
What is it? What do you want from me?!
Look guys I got mentioned! I'm confused. What did I do this time?

Xur selling Dragon's breath tomorrow. Oh wait it should be a primary or a seconday since last week was truth... Four horseman then?
Impressive but also embarrassing for bungie. Its not going to advertise their intended way to play the raid.

Very impressive. The sword drops, double Horn to Crota attack was flawless execution repeated 4 times. Regardless of being 32, it is a great feat.
I also have been trying to figure out what the Hunter helm is supposed to represent.
Although, I think the Titan helm looks more like a Knight than Acolyte.
Would make sense, Titan = Melee, Lock = Mage.. Hunter = Rogue, but what hive?!
Well, I already had an exotic helm for my hunter, but I just got a legendary helm from an engram. Hopefully Xur has a chest tomorrow I can buy. Then, I'll get those gloves from the urn quest. I already have my boots, so I'll be set to hit 31 once everything is leveled up.

the third game I played I got 5k points and someone on my team with 6 kils and a KD of .47 got an upgraded Suros... :/ first exotic I've seen drop in MP in over 500 games

4 Horseman will never be sold by Xur. PS exclusive like Hawkmoon. It could be another heavy, we did have Plan C back to back.
I can't get my hopes up, Xur just disappoints. Xur is a way more a bastard than the Cryptarch every was.
Two words:
ICE.
BREAKER.
sings "all I want for Christmas is an Ice Breaker"
and a Gjallarhorn upgrade
That's so weird, 2 weekends ago I got TWO truth drops, the Iron Banner before that I got a IB machine gun drop and the Ghorn.

I am happy for your loot however I am salty at this game for not giving me ballerhorn and esp hawkmoon still...two weapons I will never get

It's only embarrassing because what Bungie tries to portray these Raids to be. These dudes 2 manned HM VoG with no cheese. Same with CE...that takes skill and dedication.
You may want to stay out of this, todd. This is between me and fig!
Fine! I'm sorry! I am so sorry, fig! I didn't meant anything I said before about you! You can keep the chocolates and flowers! Your cloak isn't that bad! It's pretty good! And Zoba got nothing on you! Nothing!

Yes, it's Exotic. I have that last node which requires a shard, but unsure if I should upgrade or purchase a new exotic armor piece if available.
Yea, I know the quest line gives gauntlets and I'm at the last step with the Public Event. I just didn't want to wait around for it to happen on Earth and hope other are around to help take down the special enemy it spawns.
