About to sign on in about 10-30 minutes, any xb1 people want to do some nightfalls? I'd prefer to get all three out of the way now so I can get better exp during the week.

For maximum loot chances (exotics):

3x NF
3x NM Gorgons
3x HM Gorgons
3x NM Mrs. Deathsinger
3x NM Crota
3x HM Crota
3x NM Atheon
3x HM Atheon

Always doing normal before hard of course.

Was about to ask the same, but forgot where to find Death Jr.'s post.

You mean normal before hard as PREFERENCE, yes? You don't screw yourself out of chances by doing hard first... or do you?

No as a requirement. Yes you screw yourself by doing hard first. Doing hard mode first locks you out of "normal" loot drops. You get double drops from hard mode, but they're from the hard mode loot table only and you only get 1 chance at an exotic when you do it this way. If you do normal first, you'll get a shot at an exotic then and then again for hard later.

one must do normal before hard. you cannot get rewards from normal after hard.

Bolded is kind of pointless as HM gives both drops. And HM Atheon is probably the only instance in the game where you can get a double exotic drop. As can be seen here.

Christ, that's janky as **** XD

Regardless, I'd love to do more raiding. Had a blast last weekend with a team of (mostly) Raid newbs such as myself. Any other lonely Xboners out there like to set up some semi-regular raid schedules?

PS: I was late to the game, so the addiction has me now, which is sad because it seems like most others around here are fairly burnt out... :-/

Only the Vex can drop with another exotic on Hard Atheon. Otherwise to maximize on exotics it's best to do everything listed.

Vex and "any vanilla exotic weapon" are separate rolls, same as Crux and "any exotic weapon" at HM Crota. You can get an exotic on NM then get another on HM in addition to the special exotic drop. Obviously very low odds but people have testified that it's happened to them.
