Is it true you don't get any exp from the raid? It seems that way.

 

[Hawkian]

My favorite part was you taking a posting hiatus right when the tag was added so no one knew it was added. That'll teach you to stop posting.

It's been there for like two weeks?! Seriously?! X___X

thank you Ghal <3

Suck it up for DAT POWER! One day we'll get skins....or more likely, superior Raid armor from future raids that make us grind again :| Are Warlocks the only ones that have cool looking Raid armor?

I honestly really like all of the Titan raid pieces. Hunters got hosed big time imo

As the last time, I can jump in if necessary.

Thanks! If it's anything like last time I'll run down our list of alts and then call on you to save us when they don't respond XD

 

[figadapaura]

Is it true you don't get any exp from the raid? It seems that way.

Only from kills, yeah.

 

[Jinjo]

No exotic boots. To get level 30 you need 30 light in each gear slot. You can replace gear helmet gauntlets or chest with an exotic but there's no getting around those Raid boots.

I am so happy with my +120 discipline boots that I got after my first templar fight man. Easiest route to level 30 is using an exotic helmet and the rest just raid gear. Raid helmet only drops on Atheon hard mode. The rest you can get by just playing normal over and over again. Raid helmets are ugly as sin too (maybe not the warlocks), but definitely for Titan and Hunter. My favourite exotic pieces end up being the helmets too, atleast for my Hunter and Titan. Only just started a Warlock.

 

[Zakalwe]

Gotcha. So fleshing out the rest of your armor with raid gear is essential...which sucks for someone like me who never gets anything good in it.

For now it's the only way to hit 30. Does suck for anyone who has poor luck, definitely.

Hopefully the next raid will have a more intelligent loot system.

*holds breath*

*exhales*

Nope, can't do it.

 

[Orthogonal]

I'll ask again since this is moving so fast. What is the best Legendary Primary weapon that can be purchased from a vendor for PvE? Doesn't matter if it is AR or Scout or whatever.

 

[Jinjo]

Is it true you don't get any exp from the raid? It seems that way.

Only from kills, yeah.

You only get exp and glimmer (from consumables) at the gatekeeper part.

 

[Am_I_Evil]

Anyone up for nightfall? I'm taking my 29 Hunter, but when we get towards the end I'll be switching out to my 25 warlock.

now? ps4?

 

[Hawkian]

you can hit 29 without raid gear as well

Wow, yeah, of course you can. I can't believe I just left it at that, I was just thinking of the way I was getting to 29 (one maxed raid piece, one maxed exotic, one maxed non-raid piece, one barely-upgraded non-raid piece).

I still need to see a Titan decked out but I saw a Hunter in full and yeah...once again, glad to be a Sunbro!

 

[Snicky]

Does anyone know where is the mic on the sony gold headset? I don't see it anywhere... its hiding!

I think it is a on the left can, positioned near the bottom. May be wrong, please correct me if so!

 

[Mrgamer]

Everyone lookin for raid boots?
I have all variations intelect,strengt and discipline and a few duplicates.
Have chest armour and helmet but those damn gaunlets .

 

[Tovarisc]

If AR is your cup of tea you can't go wrong with Shadow Price, from Vanguard. Even without extended mag it's really solid AR for PvE and PvP.

So the alt to your alts? Dang.

Really? Well, that sucks even more.

 

[Deku Tree]

Is it true you don't get any exp from the raid? It seems that way.

If you use those vex glimmer booster things over and over, then you can quickly reach the glimmer cap in the raid though!

 

[Jinjo]

I had an entire raid gear set drop for me, save for the helmet, during my single hard run yesterday. I sharded all off them. How does that make you feel lol?

 

[Yaari]

Just got the most undeserved Exotic ever.

Was on DestinyLFG looking for Atheon. Saw a note about a free Nightfall kill. Since my Alt didn't do it yet, I figured, why not.

So I went in, this guy was petty much almost done with Phogoth.

Minute later, I get The Last Word.

Felt sorry for that guy. I did not deserve that gun at all.

 

[Hawkian]

:< bububu I just put them on a list in the order they responded

but I put lots of exclamation marks by you see

LiK (well, technically actually he has the slot if he shows up, because Squall can't make tonight's)
Ocean
TheOMan
Rubenov !!!!!!

So then it's pretty much agreed upon that boots and gauntlets are the rarest armor drops? Because I've gotten 3x chest pieces and 2 helms. 0 of the others.

 

[Jinjo]

If you use those vex glimmer booster things over and over, then you can quickly reach the glimmer cap in the raid though!

Only if you keep dying at the gatekeeper part. A lot. Glimmer consumables only work at that part. It is also the only part of the raid where kills give you xp. Kinda dumb, since that even further diminishes the use of raid reruns after you've finished it.

 

[JayEH]

Got to lvl 29 last night. Now the long grind for raid gear...Need a helm and boots.

 

[Orthogonal]

I will give that one a look, thanks. Any other suggestions?

 

[Yaari]

I have the Vanquisher VIII and I don't find it as effective after the patch. I also vote for the Shadow Price.

 

[BondFancy]

I will give that one a look, thanks. Any other suggestions?

Vanquisher is similar to the shadow price but better perks with a trade off of a smaller magazine size.

 

[Sullichin]

My friend just went into the raid for the first time with randoms and got gloves from the first loot drop.

 

[Golgo 13]

I'll ask again since this is moving so fast. What is the best Legendary Primary weapon that can be purchased from a vendor for PvE? Doesn't matter if it is AR or Scout or whatever.

Depends on your preferred weapon type?

Hand Cannon: Devil You Know, followed by Lord High Fixer (New Monarchy)
Auto Rifle: Shadow Price
Scout Rifle: Either Vanguard rifle is good for different reasons. Both are great weapons in current game state.
Pulse Rifles: Meh, don't bother.

Overall: Probably Shadow Price. Followed by Devil.


Shadow Price is just excellent all around, only weakness is the smaller clip size (25).

 

[AmateurHour212]

The Devil You Know from the Vanguard Quartermaster seems to get a lot of props here. I don't have any experience with it though so I could be wrong.

 

[SenatorBot]

Need 2 more for normal raid right now on PS4.

Anyone is welcome.

I believe Lord High Fixer is the Crucible HC, and it's a lovely weapon.

If it's ARs I've heard people swear by Grim Citizen III also, though I don't know much about it. Definitely avoid Doctor Nope.

The Devil You Know from the Vanguard Quartermaster seems to get a lot of props here. I don't have any experience with it though so I could be wrong.

Oh you're not wrong.

 

[Ramirez]

My group finally completed the entire hard mode last night, everything legit. Top 10 gaming experience, and so glad I never cheesed it. Took us around 90 minutes, Templar is fucking hard, but man it felt good to finally kill him.

Didn't get shit in 4 runs last night tho, heh.

That's weird... I wonder why it works that way... Could there be some story reason?

 

[Kor of Memory]

Finally! After 213 hours, I reached level 30.

Where are you seeing your hours played?

Edit: Nevermind found it. Currently sitting at 8 (192 hours) days, 43 minutes. And I'm only 6 shards away from level 30.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

So then it's pretty much agreed upon that boots and gauntlets are the rarest armor drops? Because I've gotten 3x chest pieces and 2 helms. 0 of the others.

I think they're the most rare things in the whole game. I have a legendary pair of gauntlets, and my back up pair is blue. I keep them because my legendary are faster reload with auto's and the blue was the best I could find that had a hand cannon reload perk.

Yeah. I was about to say the Vanguard SP is a little rough with the clip size. I have the field scout perk and it is a beast with a 42 clip size.

I'd say no on the "stock" SP.

 

[Sullichin]

I have fully upgraded Timur's Lash and Lord High Fixer. Think I might still buy Devil You Know from Vanguard later.

I really want Last Word/ Hawkmoon though.

 

[jay23]

How do you roll with two exotics equipped? I'd love to know that answer.

Oops I meant the last word plus any sniper(icebreaker is mainly for pve).. I like using a gunslinger because of the stability modifiers. Get a headshot with tlw switch to sniper and it's easy mode.

 

[JayEH]

Going to get Devil You know next week. I'm going to be like 5 short for Vanguard marks this week. Fucking marks limit.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Oh you're not wrong.

I never am

Spoiler

I'm wrong about never being wrong. Inception.

 

[Hawkian]

Just realized, the Crucible version of LHF has Third Eye, which makes it notably better for PvP unless you have Knucklehead Radar, and notably worse for anyone who does have Knucklehead. I didn't even use that to factor into my decision when choosing between the two, I got lucky o_o

 

[Daemul]

Pulse Rifles: Meh, don't bother.

 

[Gav47]

i have what a need to get to 30 just need gaunlets for my alt and they are hard to came by.

There you are.

Thanks for leading the raid group last night. That was fun. We rocked it considering 2 people were new to the raid. We definitely spent more time explaining (or you spend more time explaining) the mechanics than we did actually completing it.

 

[PedroLumpy]

Anyone doing normal raid?

Edit: or is Destiny down?

189 hours, and still a pair of gloves away from 30.

Spoiler

Actually 169 on the toon that needs the gloves, so maybe I would have them if I didn't sink time into an alt.

Yeah, I got lucky with my Timur's Lash drop because it has radar while aiming and a stability upgrade, as well as explosive rounds if I gave up the stability. Kinda pissed that I found one with a larger magazine shortly after maxing it though!
