Is it doable at 28? I'd try if it was.

By any chance would you know the locations of all the chests and would this be a two part riad where we can finish it tomorrow ???
No it is separate. Different (additional) loot.
no, normal and hard raid are two seperate things, you get loot in both.
if you do hard raid first you get loot two times for the normal at the same time.
Is the gun any good?

Is it 10 or 11?
I'm tight on time.. Might be best to find another. 10 would give me 2 hrs
Edit: ya I'm out.. Thanks though. Gonna see if my normal difficulty raid guys wanna give a try first. Goodluck guys

It still showed up for me at the normal times. Yesterday I was even alone and the PE occured.
Source? It's popped 100% of the time I've tried for it the last few days. It's my go-to public event for all my characters.
Iron Banner so far doesn't seem much different. I was running around as the top scorer on most of them with my Thorn+Comedian combo (27 Hunter). Loot drops aren't great though.
I swear to god I'm really getting tired of getting the Achilles shader. I like its look, but I've had like 8 of them drop. -.-

Seeing people talking about the rewards they're getting from finishing strikes and crucible matches just depresses me. I have a playtime of over 4 days and the only legendary or above I've gotten from a reward screen is an exotic chest from the nightfall and a class item from the crucible. This games' randomness is just not fair at all, it's downright hostile.

It is actually, even in IB without upgrades.
Well, Destiny is indeed intended to reward longitudinal play (rewards for play each day, rewards for play each week) rather than intensive play (rewards for playing as much as possible in one day). Daily Rewards are easy to obtain and common even across genres nowadays, but the Weekly rewards are also the best in the game.
The thing is that something like the Iron Banner also follows this example, it's just a little more opaque.
First off, you're certainly not intended to advance in Iron Banner reputation rank without doing bounties. The rep from turning in bounties is in turn affected by the % boost items.
Secondly, and probably most importantly, I think it's obvious that people are overlooking that the Iron Banner will be back, and while limited-time, is "cyclical" rather than "one-time" in nature. Your rank will not be reset; you do not have a solitary chance at the Iron Banner gear by the end of this week, like it may seem, but merely that length of time to rank up "until next time."

Thanks. I need some weapon upgrades before I even attempt it. I should be able to hit level 29 this weekend, will be in desperate need of shards to get to 30.

Hawkins, Carbine, Wins, Squall, Palom.. How close to 29 are you guys?
We should see if we can make a run to at least up to the Guardian.
Lot of loot even before the end.

Lvl 27 warlock looking for nightfall or weekly heroic on ps4. Psn pansargryning
Yeah I really don't see how they expect anyone to get to rank 3 in a week.
Maybe thats the plan. Take it away for a few weeks then you have to do it again when it comes up again because they have nothing new.
I'm still a little confused about Vault of Glass loot. I finished the Vault again last night and didn't end up with much in the way of drops, so I'm hoping to run it again. I know that I can't access the chests again until next week, but will I still get a chance to roll for loot after a boss is downed? If so, I'll play through a ton more. If not, looks like I'm waiting until next Tuesday to try again!

Reached level 30 on my titan yesterday.
I'm willing to help anyone in raids, nightfall and weekly etc.

Do you think all the limited time missions will be back... Like the queens missions too? And the trials of orisis? Will they be cyclical too? Are there other known upcoming temporary events? Hopefully every week has something... It would have been great if Bungie had made this clear to the community... (Unless they did and I missed it.) I thought it was pointless to rank up in queens missions because they were temporary. Thanks!

They're determined by laziness.
JK, pretty much all MMOs have "big" versions of normals as specials or bosses, but it's pretty much all Destiny falls back on. Enemy variety is so weak in this game.
They require every day play if you want to actually take part in the events to earn access to gear/items.
Daily Heroics and a gold star pub events give ascendant materials, so if you are looking for the best ways (as in, the way the game was designed) to earn mats, there is impetus to play every day.
Reps are optional, yes...but Hawkian just pointed out that legendary gear is endgame gear, and as everyone notes, the "best" way to get endgame gear is via factions.
Also:
This.
Look, I really like Destiny, but the lack of content is killer. The new content they HAVE been adding is time-limited and requires some serious playtime (someone noted above you'd have to do 1.5 hours of Iron Banner WINS, each night, for a week...to reach Rep 2).
The lack of a unified vision is what hurts Destiny the most, IMO.
sweet, thanks. finally finished the raid from the start. got ice breaker and raid chest armor and ass shards and energy! best loot run ever. I'm ready to do it again.
thanks college boy and router and crap I forgot the other names.
so whats the deal with the chests do they only show every week for each person?

I got Shadow Price last week from the Weekly Nightfall, and I reeeeeeeally like it so far. Super fast draw, longer range scope makes it more fun to use than my fully leveled Cryptic Dragon.
Got a Void damage Unfriendly Giant for leveling up my Vangard to Rank 5 last night, it has the tracking ability. That makes 2 rocket launchers in my inventory that do that. :-D
I had to scrap all of my rare Fusion Rifles to have enough for the Pocket Infinity bounty, so last night I bought Light/Beware to help out with the next stage of the bounty. Looking forward to trying that bad boy out tonight.
lol dude you must stop calling me that. no offense taken
Soo, up to the Guardian, what?
No idea about the Queen's Wrath. It wouldn't be a horrible idea, because it could be a nice cyclical "welfare" route to get new or struggling players to level 26.
I don't know anything about the Trials of Osiris, it's still a myth so far as my eyes can see
Only like I can say with any certainty is that Iron Banner absolutely will return.Yes absolutely, Bungie did not develop any kind fail-safes. It's pure BS actually. You can keep RNG, but there needs to be some kind of consistent progress for all players.

Tried Doctor Nope in IB last night. Holy cow, talk about an exercise in futility. Don't know what was going on, but a lot of my hits just simply didn't register on enemy players.
I guess it's Suros Regime or bust in PVP.

My recommendation (and this is just my personal opinion), don't rank up to 29 until you get at least one piece of raid gear. You're going to waste a TON of shards on gear you'll have to drop anyways once you get raid gear. Once you pick up your first, you can hit 29 with a maxed exotic, 1 raid piece maxed, 1 legendary maxed, and 1 regular legendary (not maxed). Sucks because you need to be 29+ to run hard raids, but you're burning so much ass shards just to get there and you still may not get raid gear for a long time... and then when you eventually do get raid gear, you won't have any shards left to max it out.
I just picked up an alt that's the same character as my main and got him to 20, so now I can throw all my main's gear on him and instantly hit 28 again. This way I can run 2 raids per week (and of course nightfalls/weekly heroics/bounties/etc...). Much better chance of getting that raid gear. Of course you can make a 3rd character and run everything 3 times a week, but good lord, hitting 20 again on a new character sucked. All those story missions again... crucible is a good method to rank up too though.
tldr; don't waste your shards hitting 29 if you have no raid gear (my PERSONAL opinion)

Need one more for nightfall. Psn pansargryning
According to destinypublicevents.com it was a Green and now a Red. He added a user reported feature so people can say if the event happened or not, so maybe that is why it changed so drastically.
I just was in The Divide and it worked for me and I was the only one there, so I'm sure it is still one of the more common ones. Strange.
One of the few guns I would deem completely balls-out useless in this game. Sorry Doc. You can't cut it.
dude what! you had such great forward momentum too.

I think he meant Atheon, Hawkins.
Raid gloves cap at 30 light just like exotics, so go with those.

I'm not gonna be ready to contribute to a hard mode raid for a while yet
But more loot for whoever wants my spot in that group!

Completely agree with you. I am about to hit 28 (one light, or 4 shards, away) and think I will stay there for a while. I'll get raids done until I have accumulated raid gear/shards and will then equip it all and work it back up. Might cause me to go down a level or two, but that's ok because I know I'm now working with more "permanent" gear.

I'd say 28 is the minimum for a Heroic Raid. You should be fine if you have good weapons. Do you?
I don't know the locations by heart. In my raids always followed a friend who has done them many many times. Will try and invite him.
Do you want to join us tonight ?

Isn't that where marks come in? I haven't had the best luck, but I always feel like I'm making progress, whether it's to get enough coins or motes to buy things from Xur, or getting my vanguard rep up to buy my first legendary primary. I've been at 27 for a while now, but I don't feel like I hit a wall or that I'm not progressing.

Yeah, that wasn't too bad at all considering it was my first nightfall. Let me know if you're doing the raid and need another member though. I'd like to make up for the fact that I only got that shotgun, hah.

Was about to log off last night and got a random message to join a raid who was on Atheon; decided what the heck it's worth a shot. I've never done the fight before and we managed to actually down him after about 10 tries.
Ended up snagging 2 AR's (Suros, Void Damage Atheons Epilogue) and the Ship, is the void damage primary on this thing any good?
