What's the differences between Blue Vex Gear and Gold Vex Gear? better status? Can you get Gold Vex playing normal raid?
 
Anyone care to do some Queen's Kill Orders? I've got 9 Queen's Wrath left and I'd like to try to get the Legendary ship before the event ends.

Add/Invite me (BurningNad) on PS4 right now! 26 Hunter. Voice chat unavailable for now, but that shouldn't be an issue.

I don't care if we reset over and over for the Earth mission. I've had both good luck and bad luck resetting to get it. Either way it doesn't matter.
 
Man, not sure why we couldn't close out the raid last night-- it's a good squad; we figured out our roles; communicated well-- but it just didn't happen. We did get AWFULLY close last night.

I really feel like I found a good groove with supplicant control: I liked to stay along the back wall, in the center of the room, once the portal's been opened. I found better angles to fire on incoming harpies, particularly when they're gathering at the portal doors. I never came into too much fire from them and I could get to them before they could self-destruct on me, as I had space to backtrack across that back landing.
 
The Xyor encounter is freaking brutal. It can quickly go from a fun challenge to suddenly descending into an exhausting slog. I wish these challenges were a little more creative instead of simply throwing tons of shielded enemies at you.
 
I disagree. The raid is very tough. You really need six people with Mikes, and coordinated strategy. I wouldn't want to do it with randoms is even if there was a matchmaking. They'll drop out, some of them will be terrible, and you'll be in the middle of a tough fight and people just leave. No thanks.

My point was on the patronizing tone. Whatever, Raids have always been designed for high level play, on WoW or wherever. The difference is in those games you had to get through 60 or 70 levels of content first. Here, you can run the content in 20 hours. There is a difference, and instead of being such smug jackasses about it, they can address the wants and needs of this mass playerbase their marketing got them, rather that catering to a very small % of the player base that will get to the raiding point. They are doing the game, their customers and themselves a disservice with this approach.

I wonder how many other folks are like him.

Me, I guess.

They're going to be patching boss health at some point so there's that atleast...

read my guide on previous page on how to solo it, a lot easier than in a group
 
Good to see at least some titans use the correct helm with the correct spec. Can't tell you how many Striker titan's run around with that helm in the Crucible... it's about the perks people, not the fact that's it's an exotic.

I use the splinter cell helm regardless of class, because it just looks so cool. One extra shot from golden gun doesn't break or make a game for me.
 
I don't think Matchmaking should be added to Raid but I welcome it to the side bar missions such as Daily, Weekly and Nightfall.

Haha, sometimes during a match I quickly change sub-class and helmet but team mates will melee/shoot at me thinking I've gone AFK.

I was walking around with my striker helm as a defender in the crucible all day yesterday....damn that void damage quest

I understand your point. I put a lot of hours into the game, and I appreciate alot that they put in high-level content though. The alternative, I think, would be for them to just not put in a raid. Or to replace the raid with some more low-level strike type activities. I like that there's a hard raid. I'm glad they put it in... But yeah people who don't put in the time are going to be mad that there is content which they can't access. I don't see a middle ground solution.
 
Instead of "Play Destiny!", one should have the option to actually be specific in what you want to play. "Play Strike!" or "Play Crucible!" or "Raid, bitches!"; anything that isn't as vague and uninforming as the story.

Yeah, I'm already playing Destiny, thanks.

I'm almost certain that you can edit the description of game invites from Play Destiny! to whatever you want to say. Am I imagining that? I could've sworn I did it before.
 
All of my praying to RNGesus is really paying off, this weekend an exotic engram gave me Inmost Light for my Titan main and I received Truth for a mediocre performance in crucible. I am so blessed.

There already is an option.
 
i'll be on around 8pm Eastern to try to finish the raid (final boss; PS4)...any help would be appreciated, especially a few people with some experience...

we finally started making some progress in the group i was with last night but then people had to start bailing...
 
Anybody getting a group together for the raid this evening? I still haven't done it and would like to get this week's loot if possible. I'm free starting around 6pm CDT.

I also need a couple people to run the weekly heroic with tonight.

I would be interested in raiding as well at that time.

I wear one sometimes, in crucible, with the striker subclass because it's got 100 int and quick melee.

I have two DURGA-GNT and a queen's guard helm and none of them are as good as the saint-14, even without the defender subclass ability.
 
Just realised you can loop back from the Forgotten Shore to Rocketyards via The Grottos.

Mind blown.

Lol I only discovered The Grottos yesterday. I couldn't believe I had missed all that in my 100hrs of play time. Seeing nothing but level 20 Hive on patrol was interesting.

Yep. I do it all the time because people actually respond when you take the time to write what you want them to join in on.
 
Hey GAF, I haven't done any raids yet, what would I be able to get from the first chest inside the Vault of Glass? I don't know if I am leveled up enough to do the entire raid yet.

I believe it's just shards. If you have a decent team with some decent guns, it shouldn't be too troubling.
 
I'm doing VOG on hard tomorrow with my raid crew. I can't wait. And yes, what I've heard at least 29 and a highly leveled, if not maxed out legendary primary of some kind is required.
 
Is Iron Banner gonna be like the queen as in its a "faction"?

Also if Archon priest is the strike and arc burn is turned on.... RIP.

If Solar is turned on it might be more maneageable but the archon priest, the vex, and any captains are gonna ruin days.
 
I am US East Coast too and need to kill Xyor and can be on at 7 PM if that works for you? PS4 PSN: X-Frame
Yeah. And we're already GAF friends. I have your name on my list.

/hides pain of not being remembered

They were teasing new gear altho I dunno the stats for it.

Hopefully not Queen tier. Although, tbh, Queen's gear stat wise did seem better than all my "regular" Legendary gear....which annoyed me even more as I hate how it looks. I got a shader called Broadsword from the Cryptarch and the Queen's gear just does not work with it.

Wanna try hard mode later tonight. I still need to attempt it.

Yeah, I mean we finished it and I did it previously thanks to some helpful GAF peeps, but I still feel like this challenge is poorly designed.

There is a middle ground solution. It's called matchmaking for raids. Do what WoW does and have different tiers of raids. So, instead of the current Normal Raid->Hard Mode Raid that we have, you make it Matchmaking Raid->Normal Raid->Hard Mode Raid. Adjust the loot as required. Lower the difficulty enough for matchmaking raids that your average "bad" matchmaking player can successfully run it given moderate effort.
 
The IB gear was teased using their app so it looked so butt in the screens. Heh. But yea, I think it should be Raid level if they want people to want them at high levels. Hope it's not nerfed ass shards-less like with Queen.

I've been dreading this day. That priest is gonna ruin my life.
