Seriously. Team Titans would destroy this raid in HM. Armor, Blessing and Weapons all pop with Strikers to easily clear the adds.

My strat that I'll be sharing with the team is to have a Defender place a Blessing of Light bubble at each lamp. Since we have 4 Titans, we will have 3 taking turns popping bubbles at a lamp.
As for the fourth Titan:

IMO, yeah, though very mild.

One metric would be a comparison to the "intended" way- and it's perfectly possible to actually hold the plate against the Thralls and Knights and have everyone survive (not that you need to) without doing that, and doing it completely eliminates most of the challenge. On the other hand it's quite benign as cheese goes, it's just taking advantage of obvious geometry.

If you are intentionally committed to doing it legit, though, I'd say don't do it. Such a challenge is more a point of pride than anything else, right? Like, you want to know you beat the best the raid can throw at you. It's not like not using the rock/lamppost is an unreasonable challenge.

I was thinking the same thing. Bungie fixed (or atleast tried to fix) every other cheese in the raid, except for this. And I'm sure they didn't not know about it. And it's not something hard to fix either.

Will probably just do it all on the plate though since it's more fun and rewarding that way.

Hard mode in VOG was so nonchalant, and this a big event. I am expecting Bungie to really make it difficult. Going in with the mindset that it'll be a bitch.

i know the raid is 33, but on normal he's a 32.

He's 32 but we can match that light level.

If he were a 34, sword holder would be 32. Just imagine a 30 running the sword in Normal Crota...enrage every time or ded from boomer knights.

If VOG is any indication, it'll likely be 33 from start to finish. Given the "added challenge" of no revives and whatever surprises is up Bungie's sleeve, 33 will be good enough to increase difficulty.

At least overall it's a lot quicker. Unlike the Oracle phase that takes forever to combine with all the jumping and running to different areas, and gorgons.

In my opinion, yes. I would consider that cheesing though it's not a cheese to the extant of the bridge one. We're not gonna do that though.

Like I said, this is gonna be a legit run.

Lol.

If that's cheesing, you can't stand behind the rocks for cover, either.

One last check to see if i have all my weapons of choice + exotic and legendary backups, all consumables i'll need and have my subclass optimized. Then I'll be ready to go.

To the login screen we go.

All enemies and bosses in HM CE will be Lv33, I feel pretty confident about that.

Same as how all HM VoG enemies and bosses are Lv30. The levels increase during normal mode raids but are set at the level of the hard raid itself.

Game pisses me off sometimes. Right now is the second time I have used a weapon telemetry and had the game put me into an infinite loading screen on my way back to the tower.
I let it run for almost three minutes before quickly going to dash, quitting the game and reloading. Got to the tower with two freakin seconds left.
So much for that.

Game should be smart enough to stop the timer during loading screens.
Or hey! Maybe just let those timed consumables associate with ingame time.

VoG needs a new Super Hard mode.
Click to expand...

Yeah, a Lv32 VoG would be fantastic, especially if it dropped 331 VoG weapons (I know that will never happen but still...)

For an MMO-ish game with so little content it's weird how quick they were to pseudo-phase out VoG. Of course I still do Gorgons+Atheon 3x each week for exotics but that's not the same.

I'll be heading out with a team, I think Akai_xiii is the only other gaffer on the team though (hi Akai).
Going for that world's first record!

To all those planning to run CE HM at 12:40 with me. If you have a change in plans please send me a message over PSN if you can. I'm going to play some dragon age before then so won't be checking the thread as much.

Thanks!

Excellent run with the crew I just did it with.

Deathsinger dropped a second Dragons Breath and Crota dropped a Patience and Time (both Sharded).

I'll be hard raiding all day tomorrow but good luck to those that are today. I'll be at work reading everything!

lol, nice. If anyone is compiling a list of streams mine will be:

http://www.twitch.tv/bogue_ster

Not going to start streaming quite yet but I'll post link again when the time is closer. We could even try to make a multi-Twitch link but I forget how to do that. So that people could watch all our runs simultaneously on one page and see who was where.

Twitch Gaf-Big Brother Control Center

I'd watch
