I just got a Legendary auto rifle (Shadow Price) from farming for engrams.

Whoever posted that video about farming engrams on the first story mission of the moon is brilliant!

Cydonia is just as good imo. But the point is that it's easy to headshot people with and does decent dps.

Did you cap your marks? I'm in all blues right side but I'm going to rely on vendor purples.

I hopefully will be able to fill out my right side with all purples after capping marks this week.

Capped both marks, still need a little vanguard rep to buy a second legendary. It might be enough to push me to 26 after upgrading but I'm not holding my breath.

The strike sponges are definitely souring my hope for the raid. I mean shit. Played a level like 1 level above my own and it took so damn long to kill the damn mars machine gun dude. I love playing on high difficulty for the challenge, but fuck the bosses get WAY to spongy. Which is too bad since other parts of the levels feel great and are the good type of hard

And That is a very good thing. I have a flicker of hope too, that there is more to a Raid than just three or four Vex Bosses we have to kill with millions of millions of Bullets.

Edit: Just looked it up, should be three Vex Bosses in the Raid

There's a good chance enemies will be level 30, and they go ?? If they're four levels above or more right? So 26 is probably the entry level as far as actually being able to complete anything. Also possible that only your fire team leader needs to be 26 since the lockout seems tied to them.

i'm starting to think bungie's decision to open the raid a week after the game launched is prematurely killing the game. everyone's grinding to gear up for the raid and it's compounding the flaws in the loot system. as i mentioned a while ago, the state of the game really depends on the quality of the raid. if it's good, people will be able to level up when the weekly caps are lifted and try their hand at it. it'll be a slow burner, but the community will stay loyal to it until bungie patches up the holes in the game. however, if the raid ends up disappointing, i anticipate many people abandoning ship. and to be quite frank, i'll probably be in one of the lifeboats. is not that i don't enjoy the game, but i'd be lying if i wasn't trying to justify the $600 i spent on it so far.

SSSSHHHHH! don't talk about it. I don't want bungie to patch it before I get in tonight.

Just out of curiosity what level did you play the mission at?

I was running with polar oak for a few levels. Probably the best shader I've seen so far.

I agree with you here. Though, even if it's a good raid, I'm not sure many of the players of Destiny understand how involved raiding can be. It's quite likely that the vast majority of players will never clear the raid, even if they tried.

I hope the raid encounters aren't all the same as defend here while ghost hacks. If it is, I fear a lot of people will quit. It's already going to be tough for people to get into raids as is.

Hopefully raid gear will have a chance to drop at every boss and that raid gear is actually gear we haven't seen. Maybe even a new color to represent raid gear.

100% this. I think, with the vast majority just farming for upgrades, they'll be ill equipped once the raid difficulty hits them. I'm gonna make sure I clear the strike playlist, a fair few weekly/daily's and upgrade both subclasses so I can switch on the fly before even attempting the raid.

I used to think the same, and yesterday I got my hands on my first Shingen-C (I'm lvl 17). Used it in 2 Strikes and in Crucible and holy shit at that stability, rate of fire and magazine size. Impact is not high, but if you place your headshots well, people go down incredibly fast. And Shingen-E is even better.


Unrelated to the above, when do I unlock Heroic modifiers for Strikes and Missions?

Well seeing as how the Raid level is level 26...dunno why you're trying to dissuade me. I already did Nightfall, and they were 3 levels above then ._. And that wasn't too hard.

I haven't had to grind or farm up to this point, but I think I'm about to start. I'm at level 24 and have no idea how to progress any further.

Oh and how do you check your play time?

Are there any groups out there that still need to fill a spot for when Vault of Glass goes live? I coincidentally just woke up so I can play until the raid is cleared. I'm a level 26 Hunter, message me on PSN, my id is Fourbin.

So I've been farming for the past 30 miuntes on Oryx and now I noticed that enemies rarely drop anything apart from glimmer, black wax and codex.

I still get the odd uncommon drop but its totally not the same amount I was getting pre-patch. :(

Bungie claims the raid is supposed to be crazy hard. Like don't expect to be able to finish it the first time you try hard, even at 26.

I imagine bringing lower levels is only going to make a frustrating experience worse.

Maybe it won't be as hard as they've claimed though, who knows.

2AM (PST) Raiding Party

As soon as the Raid is unlocked were going to have a group ready and be in the same clan so we can all receive the Raiding Party trophy.

What will I need to do?

Aside from being ready in less than 2 hours you can join the temporary clan here and set it as your PlayStation clan.

http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/282209

How can I join?

Quote this post and send me a PSN friend request, Neverendin. If you're not on and ready at around 1:45AM, we'll move on to the next person.
