Guys this is a stupid question, but what do RNG and 'adds' mean?

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.
Bungie, what

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
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.
the Oracle phase but too many deaths means no oracles die and no light spawns for negation.

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.

Yeah for me too. Played it for about half an hour and got 4 blue and 1 purple engram.
RNG is random number generator, meaning loot dropping is randomized. Adds are all the "small" additonal enemies that are not the boss.
Edit: Beaten like streamerhouse by boss 1.

Man, the raid actually looks awesome. Now I'm even more miffed about the bad loot/dropsystem in this game. Stuck at lv24. Pls Bungie.

Anyone pissed at the fact that this week's Nightfall is the one on the moon? Talk about going to be a pain in the ass

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.

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?

Both my secondary and heavy are solar based. I ain't sweating, those wizards won't stand a chance.
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).
Jinjo

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?

Let me know if you want to run it later!
LMAO
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.

THINK I've got my mic working again. Add me on PS4 - LSB123
Probably Vanguard, you have more opportunities to get marks through bounties, public events, etc.
That's the one I chose too. Only 23 strikes to go and it's done

If you're on Xb1 shoot me a friend request. My GT is the same as my Gaf. I'm rocking Defender for that Bubble Shield.

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?

You sound like a lot of fun to play with /sHi 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.
