I just tried it by going through the Strike Menu and it didn't attempt to matchmake at all.

Blah sucks how 2 blueberries can mess up an entire match of control T_T btw for exotics 1.0 drops in the VoG, is it better to do normal then hard? Or just hard straight up.

heh, we all must prepare for hard mode. I'm almost certain that there will have to be multiple sword bearers.

I can confirm through playing GW2 where Hawkian mains a Thief, he does indeed forget to dodge fairly often.
you are mixing up forgetting with running out of dodges cause i like to flip around ^_^

Playing rumble to try to get better at PVP and to have enough crucible points to buy the nice rocket launcher. Hoping an exotic drop for me also. . sigh.

Anyone doing the nightfall and weekly? Still gotta do them on my 30 titan. PSN same name as here.

I think exotics only come from the gorgon chest and Atheon on hard?
I got Thunderlord from Atheon last night and there were at least 3 other exotics given out to other players. No issues there.
We'll never find out, because in CE HM, the Deathsinger countdown will be cut in half.

Seems odd since you get double loot rolls on hard.
I did a Hard VoG a few days back where I got 2x Fatebringers, Truth (Chest), MIDA Multitool (Atheon) along with ascendant materials and a Helm.
Hard VoG delivers.
there is some theorizing that when you kill atheon on hard, you could get for example two hard-mode only rolls taking up a slot when one could have been an exotic (i.e. two helms).
of course if you're going for the vex it's all moot
No matchmaking in nightfall or weekly.
Bungie on Hard Mode:
Crota checkpoint is a bug. The Crota checkpoint was always intended to begin at Deathsinger which is why it has no loot drop.
/player base commits suicide.

Shh don't say that :-(
Just to ensure everyone gets how Normal/Hard raid loot (or VoG at least) works:
If you do normal for the week, you get one loot roll per spot (4 times over the course of the raid)
If you then do hard, you get a second loot roll per spot, this time against the hard loot table (Fatebringer on Templar, Vex on Atheon, and so forth)
If you do just hard for the week, you get two rolls at the same time at each spot, and it "counts" as your normal run for the week, but both are against the hard loot table. So you could easily get two Fatebringers or whatever at the same time, meaning that if you're looking for something that can drop in Normal it may be (slightly) worth it to run normal first.

Yeah I know there's double loot rolls, but just wondering if the chances increase for exotics for the double loot rolls. Or is it better chance to get a exotic for one loot drop. I really want to know the mechanics of RNGesus.

what do you know, Xur is extended.
I wish he would be normally available all week-end long, fully Sunday too

This is true. I guess best case is to do normal and hard. Normal first.

3 Atheon runs last night only netted us Chatterwhite and energies :/
if you're going for the vex though, hard atheon is better
