So they saved all the pacing changes and combat strategy for this one Raid....


.....while the entire rest of the game is "hold square to Dinklage." Including the story missions which similarly have no matchmaking.

So 2 things I learned from the stream while they were fighting the 1st boss.

- Don't try to shoot a rocket at the boss right as its barrier goes down or you might end up blowing yourself up.

- Bladedancing the oracles may not be a great idea since you'll just dance through them and might end up falling off a ledge.

Also regarding the shield item, wouldn't swapping it around between teammates hasten the process of taking down the boss? It would go something like:

supercharged player picks up shield -> shoot down boss barrier -> drop shield for next supercharged player -> rinse and repeat.

Congrats to the Streamerhouse guys for finally beating the first boss XD

Just got done trying the raid for the first time. Got the door open of course lol, and that first boss is no joke. We got to
the Oracle phase but too many deaths means no oracles die and no light spawns for negation.

Man, that was some intense gaming right there, can't imagine what comes after, I'll avoid streams of it for now since the Raid just came out.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
Guys this is a stupid question, but what do RNG and 'adds' mean?

RNG = Random Number Generator. So basically random drops, etc.
'adds' = Additional enemies. So you have the main boss to defeat, adds are any other enemies/minions that you may have to deal with during the fights.

That expbountyhunter guy on datto's stream should have been kicked from the raid a long time ago lol

edit - and just as I type this the guy comes back and it turns out he was afk because he has cerebral palsy, thanks for making me feel like a douche :|
 
As someone who doesn't like too much social interaction in my games -- I've only played Destiny solo so far, including the entire story, with the exception of playing alongside silent randoms for high-level strikes -- these raid streams with 6 people talking at once are giving me anxiety.

I'm getting a group going for Destiny GAF EST. We need a group more suitable for our timezone so I'll get a raid going at around 6PM. For those interested PM me here on GAF or add me on PSN and leave a message. I'll invite you once I'm home and we can get started earlier than 6PM if everyone is in attendance.

Also, I know people were asking but 24 is the highest level of participation with 26 being the recommended level.
 
Another cryptarch level. Get only blue engrams, which all turn into uncommon items. I seriously think my game/character is gimped by the RNG gods.

I can assure you, he/she is not gimped. Today I found a legendary engram on the moon and got two more for leveling the Cryptarch to Lvl 11.

The Cryptarch traded it into a pair of rare shoes, a mote of light and a rare rocket launcher.

Yeah, this Raid has more gameplay variety than the entirety of the missions.
What were they thinking?

I googled it when I got them. I found a site, I think it was one of the wiki's, and it listed the weapon reward and the steps for like 6 different bounties.
I just googled it and found a website with all the exoctic bounties. I'm going to go with Toland's legacy since it leads to bad juju (pulse rifle).

build up your rep and buy purple from vendor

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do now. Purples just don't drop for me with all the farming methods and the cryptarch keeps screwing me over with his packages (all blues).

What goes quicker, crucible or vanguard rep? And what would recommend me do to build rep and points most quickly? Got about 65 marks for both vanguard and crucible already. Vanguard rank 1 already. Crucible still halfway to 1, same goes for New Monarchy. Faction rep building might be quickest? Since vanguard and crucible rep go to the faction?

Really? I don't want to watch anything to really see what happens without experiencing it first hand, but the way they set this all up is so weird. Actually getting to 26 is so god damned annoying and I'm sure a huge percentile of the players are never going to get to it.

Is it confirmed you have to be 26? I'm half say through 25 with 2 purples that need upgrading when I get ascended mats. With the cap reset I can get 10 PVP wins to get a purple arm if needed

Probably Vanguard, you have more opportunities to get marks through bounties, public events, etc.

Been doing this farming area where enemies constantly spawn for nearly 2 hours, the other guy has got 3 legendarys.

Myself?

Fuck All
 
Can I just point out one more time how great the Destiny App is. I'm just sitting at work, checking out all my stats and gear and pumping up to go home and continue.

Same here man. It's depressing. We should make a blue engram consolation talk group.

I don't even know what the colour purple looks like brah. I feel ya though.

Care to share the link?

Ok, cool, thanks. Best place for this would be rocket yard on cosmodrome right? Farm glitter, plants and events?

FUCK.

I literally just got the exotic bounty and chose a random one :X Ended up with the shotgun one. I'm guessing I can't drop it and rechoose?

Hi guys I almost always play only Crucible and Strikes. I'm in the top 4% in the world at k/D ratio and #5 overall at average kills per game I'm not bragging but for fuck sake would anyone who wants to do some weekly hard-core strikes and the Vault of Glass just add me already it's been a week since launch.

I don't care if you suck at this game or die a lot and I have to carry you I just want to play with anyone who plays this game for the weekly/daily challenges and Vault of Glass.
