That's Phogoth, right? Here's a guide for easy solo-ing him. Gonna try it myself tonight.
Just about every strike has a carney hole, where you can shoot the boss and they can't shoot you. The Sepkis fight has a crate on the top left that is safe. The Archon Priest has a divot in a rock that no one can shoot at you. The Nexus Hydra has a Pillar that you can shoot over, but he can't shoot you back.

At this point in the raid, these guys better get a new fucking character class for completing this.

The defense upgrade stat goes hand in hand with light past level 20
Ship, no. Not yet at least maybe.
Sparrow, yes. The Quartermasters have upgraded Sparrows with more speed and lateral thrusters on L1/R1. And Xur had a 2 Sparrow add-ons you could buy. One for enhanced speed, another that adds a purple plasma trail to your sparrow while boosting I think.

I've kind of figured that now, but I've been playing a different game for the last 40 hours and am pretty much too burned out to start over. I thought high level strikes would have bosses dropping high level loot, and then use the factions/vanguard explicitly when I just wanted that specific gun in just the right color with the exact perks that I like playing with.
Because of that I've been wearing a dead orbit cape to someday get a set of white guns. Now I find out that I pretty much NEED to buy something to get to the Raid. Also, I didn't realize that I need crucible marks to buy that stuff, so my rep is high with them, but I don't have any marks to spend and I have a bunch of Vanguard marks, but my rep is too low to buy anything.

Got my first legendary weapon! It's a shotty :/ Would really love to trade it for something I actually use if we could.
Yeah but then why does my light level not move despite upgrading the piece?

After initially being on the fence about whether to get this or not I am actually having a really good time with it. It has some major issues for sure, but loving the multiplayer and the actual shooting mechanics are great. Hopefully I can make it last until Gta 5 hits in November.

So I was reading this faction guide on reddit. (helps explain alot) as I am nearing level 20. The part that seems to bother me is that 4 out of the 5 faction require Crucible Marks opposed to Vanguard marks. That is terrible. I don't like PvP, and would like to try some optional factions by playing PvE. Is the only possible way of earning Crucible marks in PvE by exchanging materials to the Crucible Quartermaster?
What the fuck? Why would it not at least be 2 of 5 factions use Vanguard marks? Or better yet, have the optional factions accept both Crucible and Vanguard marks!

How the hell have you played for 40 hours and still have white guns? I'm 26 and I haven't gotten any of my gear from vendors. All my guns are blue and they've been that way for a long time.
Did the armor have light to begin with?
1st Legendary engram yields Exotic chest armor for Hunter... I'm a Titan.
2nd and 3rd yield shitty blues.
I have two Legendaries now. Vanguard helmet from a blue engram, and Vanguard gauntlet from the market. I should have the remaining two pieces from the market in the next couple days, just need more marks!
What's the best way to get Strange Coins? Need 23 so I'm ready for Friday.

Lol I don't mind it, you just have to expect everyone is running around with a shotgun.
Yes.... maybe I'll rephrase my example.
I had a blue chest piece that I ended up fully upgrading, so it had +10 light. Then in an engram I got another blue chest that was already +10 WITHOUT UPGRADES.
So naturally, I should change into the new chest and upgrade it. But even when I do, it stays at +10 light.

We don't even know if everyone in the group gets a drop at the end of the raid. Could just be random like everything else. Which I believe console players who don't play MMO's will get frustrated and complain. You aren't guaranteed a item in WoW for raids but will see when someone completes this raid.

hey guys, the only way to get weapons that do damage 250 and up is legendary ones?
also Rumble is freaking awesome, just you and the other fuckers. you dont have to worry about carrying 5 useless sack of potatoes on your back! (love control too)

I'm not even watching it, but why would anyone expect the raid to be easy, a week from release??
Some people just fucking ask for it.
Destiny isn't the game where you come around corners right. At all. If you know there isn't a long sightline around the corner you need to take then jump and come around it high. Every. Single. Time.
Agreed. The good news at least is that the Vanguard has awesome looking gear and they have at least 1 of every weapon type, whereas the factions have only 4 total.

LOL, no, I meant the actual color of the Legendary guns that the Dead Orbit guy sells.
Sorry. Forgot to post this in my original post. Check it out.

So the raids are up now I guess? Man if only there was 1) matchmaking or 2) the friends I have that do have Destiny were at a level where they could actually do the raids and actually survive
It still really rubs me the wrong with how Bungie is going "YOU NEED TO PLAY THIS WITH FRIENDS OR IT'S GONNA BE BAD" as if they're admitting their game isn't as good if it's played solo, and if you're a primarily solo player (like myself) then you're just fucked.

Gothalion guys are about to throw in the towel and go get better gear.

First person view aside(hate that mode), how is the campaign solo play? Going to get a PS4 for Christmas and might check it out. Just wish you could play in 3rd person view.

This is insane, I need to complete Vanguard Tiger around 80 times to reach level 2. Doing so though I would then have around 500 Vanguard Marks which would allow me to purchase at least 4 pieces of each armor.
But it would also have to take around 4-5 weeks no due to the Marks limit of 100 a week?
Boring as fuck to be honest. I just sped threw it to get it over with and unlock all the planets.

I read it but still am a bit confused. If I hate PvP which is the Vanguard one?
Boring , 90% of the time you do the same shit over and over agian. And the game doesnt have a story.

Love Salvage and Skirmish... so much fun.
In Warlock fashion news, here is Wurzal the Warlock in his new get-up: I just got that AR after using a Level 7 Cydonia AR3 for the last week in PvP
... going to debut it tomorrow, It should be better surely... (Painted Suros CGB-47 - Level 17).
Gotta say, game is really pissing me off right now. I had 3 Legendary engrams, and two of them turned to a mote of light and a blue. I also leveled up my Cryptarch 4 times, and got only one purple in all the items gifted as a reward, which again turned out to be a mote of light.
WTF? Make a purple a bloody purple. It's hard enough getting them that dicking us over with anamolies is not necessary.

I am sure just getting the marks and rep with any faction is going to be a grind, so I imagine it will be a while before I even try one of the optional factions. I understand the glaring imbalance. But then again, there seem to be a lot of head scratchers in this game that Bungie overlooked.
The Vanguard Quartermaster is the Vanguard Faction vendor which uses both Vanguard Rep and Vanguard Marks. The Hunter/Titan/Warlock Vanguard vendors also use Vanguard marks and rep. The rest are all Crucible marks and their respective rep.

To take that one step further, I am a solo player but when good coop comes out I have two long time friends that I will run with. 1+2 =3. That means we have to grab 3 goddamn randoms to do these strikes. Pisses me off. We are all old farts who have mics and play smart. Everytime we cave and invited some guys in they run around like Ritalin pills with guns and die two feet from bosses. So irritating.
I just got a desert looking shader for my hunter which I like...but my awesome flaming purple/yellow/red FWC cape doesn't look so great, with any shader I've found...About halfway to rank 3 and then I can be done with that awful looking cape...though the scout rifle is nice, it will still have the clown colors with that awful logo stamped on the side..../cry

Must not be a very good guide then.
First thing it should tell you is that if you want to gain Marks / Rep for a faction of your choice, you need to buy the class item for 2500 and then wear that item.
I'm finding it quite the opposite. Got Future War cult to rank 2 already and was able to buy a legendary from them. I need to just play a few more crucible matches to get enough marks to buy another which I'll do at some point today.

Quick! Which Exotic Bounty should I get?
The one for the Bad Juju Pulse Rifle?
Or the Super Good Advice Machine Gun?
I already have a Legendary Primary and Secondary, but I'm not sure which to pick here!

Finally got a legendary and it's an auto rifle, something I can actually use. Thank God. It took me 32 hours to get a single legendary item.
