Not as good as VoG, But pretty easy, and it's a good chance for loot.

It's OK, pretty cool sections and some interesting mechanics, especially in the first few sections. The final boss is pretty boring for 5/6ths of the team, otherwise its a pretty good activity.

Yay it nay?
Yay it nay?
Yay for looks (I love the ammo counter on the back, it also changes color based on the element)
Nay for usefulness, it's not bad, but it's far from the best shotgun right now.
I think the game is trolling me at this point. I got a ship, fusion rifle and Plan C from the same strike. Another gave me Ice Breaker and Snakebite Surgeon. I also got a Mida from one of the engrams. The game is like you can't be mad I'm giving you good loot. It knows what I want and it will not give it to me.
I like the atmosphere, but the actual fights themselves are kind of dumb.

So been playing around with Destiny during the week doing the 2nd DLC I never touched.
I think I might want to take a crack at a raid. Is there a recommended goal I should be aiming for to be raid ready?
I am level 30 with a defence somewhere in the 1500's and got a decent assortment of legendary weapons.
Feels like they totally turned up the amount of loot you get. Feel like I have gotten loads this week when compared to back in 2014

Hard Crota is now Level 33, so are the enemies L34 at Crota?
Damn wish I would have refreshed the thread, we just finished 2 man
Edit: GG Androo, thanks!

Wasn't it always 33?

Go for Battle Runner for these reasons^
I suck with shotguns because it's not my playstyle, so I'll probably mess up the timing with sliding or get stuck on geometry.
I've recently trained myself to recognize those sliding bastards. Quickly hit them once with primary, jump up and throwing knife to the face.
Vote well earned!

I thought it was 32, but with 33 enemies. But it's been months so maybe it was haha. I only remember the enemies being 33 at Crota, since that's where I spent the majority of the raid at hahaha
Thanks a lot man!
I'm sorry dude i was just about to die when i got you FR and then we finished him off.
Next time.Thanks a lot man!

Yes, gearing up is faster and easier with House of Wolves dlc, that's why so many players who stopped playing are coming back and there is a large influx of new players.
30 is fine for going Vault of Glass on either difficulty and Crota on normal.

Thanks for the PoE 35 run before guys, Shame we couldn't beat Skolas though.
However we'll definitely get him next time!

Cool. Wasnt sure how hard, hard VOG was. Thought that might have been super duper end game.
How long is Vault of Glass taking people these days anyway?
Think I will finish up a few things and try jumping in with Destiny GAF some time over the weekend / next week if anyone needs a spare body and dont mind someone going in blind on the whole raid thing

Damn we just put a hurting on Small-Arms-Skolas. I somehow managed to have 10+ heavy packs drop in the Fallen room during the previous rounds (with Corrective Measure equipped) for 40+ free Horn rockets just lying around. Dude got annihilated, GGs to Bombastico and Baby Ghost!
Val and me are ready to do another Skolas run if you're still up for it.

The challenge in VoG mostly comes from the need to work as a team and coordinate, rather than difficult enemies; the base difficulty is 26, so at 30 enemies are not that tough. It can be run in ~45 minutes or less with an experienced team, though I hope they'd go a bit more slowly with a new player in the raid. I find it quite fun to raid with newcomers - there's nothing in the game quite like VoG.
Anyone up for level 34 PoE? I might start it up solo and see how far I can get.

Finally got my pilgrim with third eye, braced frame, and secret round. Is that a good enough roll? Keep it or roll to try and get headseeker?

Keep it. You won't use head seeker much since you'll have perfect stability.

This is probably the week I have played less Destiny since I bought the game: No time or extreme tiredness, but I hope I can make up for the missing hours during the weekend. I still haven't even done the Heroic (it would be cool to do it on 32 and get all the coins for Xur), and I'd like to try PoE 30.
Speaking of PoE. I've only done the 28. Are the other levels very different, or the final boss is the only change, apart from the increased difficulty?

Thanks for the help, I needed it.
All my Hunter's gear is now ascended. Just a few weapons on the Warlock and Titan and I should be set.
Was a thread made for the BWU on the Gaming side? I think it's substantial to put one up, which I'll do if there wasn't one already.
Each of the challenge bosses have unique mechanics not present with the level 28 version, some simple, some more complex. The Cabal boss has a shield that cycles between the three different elements; the Hive knight can burn the ground so you have to stay airborn for a bit or take damage; the servitor can refill it health by eating certain enemies that are in the arena, etc. Skolas and the gatelord have much more involved mechanics. A few of them also drop objectives (kill the target, dismantle mines) into the midst of the boss fight.

Have a few hours before heading out to see Mad Max, is that enough time to finish Skolas?
If not, anyone up for PoE 34?

Quite similar to my lucky roll:
Still not sure I'd call it the best PvE sniper. But it's closer to being that when they nerf the BH and IB in tTK. I like it a lot, and can still swap Field Scout out with Perfect Balance for PvP.
Hold onto yer butt.
I made a thread for today's BWU. It was kind of weird to put together; I haven't posted a thread in a long time.

Sounds good!
Yeah, been looking forward to seeing it! Seems everyone I know really loved it.
Hah, this week Xur'll sell a Husk of the Pit!Some times I think Bungie is run by this robot.
Continuation of last week's shitfest.
Out of all these nice MG's, the one with the quickest TTK in regular Crucible is Xerxes because of the Focus Fire perk. It's two headshots (0.3 secs), or three body shots (0.6 secs). You can get a two headshot kill with a Jolder with AB and Crowd Control, but only after the first kill and CC is activated.
Still, just remember you don't want to bring an MG to a RL fight. At best, you'll trade deaths.

Hard Vault, still about an hour, it still has a lot of waiting around and people swapping in and out of characters to get the chests
Bosses fall a little faster but the oracle ice breaking still takes the longest and waiting in the cave for the conflux phases to end sometimes take forever.

Just fall back and the fight the legions. Its not that hard with a maxed out squad. Makes the phase less tedious imho.
