that would be awesome if existing legendaries could be upgraded too. we'll see what happensI would actually be totally fine with getting those rumored exotic materials in the next raid and being able to apply those to your existing legendaries to get them up to 32.
what I think would be pretty cool is having multiple sets of raid gear that all can reach 32, each with bonuses against a certain faction, switching between them as the enemies you face demand
Like how the current set of raid gear can drop orbs from killing Vex, right? To be able to max those out, use those in vex missions, then switch to the new raid gear whenever you're fighting the hive would be great. That way they can incentivize people to check out the new content and keep current raid weapons and armor relevant at the same time.
They'll never do it

They haven't said, but boots would be nice since that is the only slot you can't replace with an exotic atm.

I think I have it cleared up now. Assuming DestinyDB is correct, both raid and crucible boots have the same base light, but raid boots will max at 30 whereas crucible will max at 27. Wouldn't mind some confirmation of this, though.

No word yet, just speculation right now.
I am thinking now that the mida multi-tool is the most under-rated exotic on GAF. I love mine. It has extreme range, it does incredible damage, low recoil, it has radar during ADS, and WOW the agility perk is massive (I am addicted to it), and it has a large clip too. I can take out a whole crowd of decently high enemies with easy head shots all in one clip (and I haven't even put in the last three defense upgrades yet).
No I thought RAID gear acted like legendaries except that it can get up to a total of 30 light where legendaries only go up to 27. The last three upgrades are 1+2+2 for legendaries and 2+3+3 light for RAID. Otherwise the gear is exactly the same in terms of light levels.

I lucked into a synergistic tripmine hunter build.
* Raid Helm
* Ahamkara's Spine
Between the raid helm and Spine, I have almost maxed Discipline. By the time the extended trip mine grenade times out and explodes, another is ready. Infinite area denial in PvE is nice.
In PvP, having a tripmine almost always at the ready and faster reload on Pocket Infinity from the gauntlets should be rad.

Yes that's true.

I HAVE THE BOOTS.
FUCK YEAH!
FUCK YEAH!
Yeah, the new exotics all give different perks, there is no overlap with the current ones. I mentioned earlier that a new item, which was datamined with all the other information, will probably be added with the expansion and allow us to upgrade our current exotics to light 32. You don't have to worry about the exotics getting invalidated, the Raid and upcoming level 30 Iron Banner gear however....
Marvel
could never
Sad but true.
now that's advocacy for the hard raid if ever I've seen it. Though I suppose it'll be a random roll and I'll get INT + STR when one does drop for me.
it is rad. most rad indeed.

thanks guys for the normal raid lol
yeah the random teleporting ....=
it was still a blast.
haha twas fun.
No major hiccups apart from my one bout of monkeyism and being teleported alone.
I'm a little jelly that I saw Hawkmoon pop up for someone else lol.

Wanted to share my regular group's Atheon experience, post-patch.
Normal mode, all 29's and 30 so we breeze through the Raid. So we get to Atheon, fully prepared for random teleporting. The first Timestream opens and the usual question is asked - jungle/desert, left/right, Mars/Venus (this one is so wrong it's funny), but no answer...why? Only one person got teleported. Good fix, Bungie. This happened several times during the encounter, either one or two gets teleported and we had to send help in via the portal. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. What was usually a routine encounter has now been broken by this "fix", and your chance of success is entirely dependent upon the Timestream teleport not glitching. There were other minor annoyances we also dealt with, but none as bad as the broken teleporting.
Seems Bungie was so desperate to get the ledge cheese out they were okay with implementing broken code. Still love the Raid, but repeatedly wiping at Atheon on hard because of broken mechanics would be infuriating.

Got it. Thanks all!
Wow, that sucks. So now the teleportation is more broken.
Totally. I don't mention it because I'm not at home and don't have the exact perks in front of me, but the raid helm and spine have a nice grenade restores melee, melee restores grenade, more super energy loop to them too.
I've never felt like such a killing machine in game.
I miss the old Bungie.

Ghron on second run. I may or may not be crying on the inside for you guys.
It was chaos at the end but it was actually pretty educational after we stopped dying!
that definitely supports everything I've claimed about exotics up until this point, and further supports the idea that the cap on equipping 1 armor/1 wep will not be lifted. It also means I'll be even more compelled to fill out my collection... I'm already having a blast working two builds apiece on my Hunter and Warlock. damnit.
Me too, man. My Warlock alt has been a BLAST. I have a Voidfang Vestments/Bloom thing going and it's a refreshing break from Hunter.
I have all the bounty-able exotics except Thorn and juuuuust enough of the other exotics to feel like I CAN MAYBE SNAG THEM ALL. Your Pokemon analogy was apt.
a thought-out Pocket Infinity build in the Crucible definitely gives you the sensation of being unstoppable. I must get better with my headshots with Hawkmoon cause for the moment I just outright play better with PI and I can't be having that!
I think it's because a lot of core people left Bungie. Or they have major leadership/communication problems there. I know there are a lot of good people at Bungie, but the individuals are getting muted.
I'm currently on the hunt for every single piece of exotic Titan gear myself, and I'm only missing The Helm of Saint 14 and The Chest of Alpha Lupi.
If IB vendor will sell same armor as he did in beta then Warlock will have gloves and helm.
25-30% of my Crucible kills are precision kills. Headshots for days. Nothing more satisfying than a hand cannon popping a Crucibro brain.
Ugh... so my only chance for level 30 is RNG from the RAID for my boots...
Bungie DLC said:
I really hope since Eris is a Vendor that she sells good stuff... let me grind and level up my RAID rank and buy stuff that didn't drop for me via RNG plz.
Voidfang Vestments is such a great exotic. I wrote it off like an idiot as "Voidwalker-only lulz" when first reading it over. Obviously it's ideal for Voidwalkers but also Gift of the Sun + grenade spawn, juhwhaaaaat
And exactly... I have every exotic bounty weapon, 1 out of 2 PS exclusive primaries, a few other choice weapons, 1 out 3 total gauntlets. 4 of 9 helms, 2 of 6 chests, and my buying power every week is growing... damn.
So how many strange coins are you able to collect per week? And how do you do it?

The same thing happened to us. It took about 3 tries before he would actually teleport all 3 people. The first try he ported no one twice so we were getting free damage on Atheon (too bad we all don't have Gjallarhorns) and then it decided to port only one person causing an insta-wipe.
We had no problem with different people going into the portal/being relic holder but to wipe multiple times because they are fixing a 'bug' that wasn't even an issue is stupid.
Replaces your helm with three eyed pumpkin when out in the activities.

This is going to sound stupid... but how the heck to I join up with guild members?
I joined one of the GAF clans last night and I expected to see a list of members and status in the game so I could join them more easily. I can't find that anywhere. I REALLY want to try a raid but I haven't been able to connect with a group to do it.

5 out of 6 Guardians agree: The jumping puzzle sucks ass.
The 6th Guardian was plummeting to his death in the abyss, so we couldn't hear his opinion, haha.

I think that's about it lol. Would be cool if it actually scared the Hive and made them flee when you got near.
I read that as you can increase you light level with stuff from the DLC story missions
Maybe that gear will let you get as high as 31 but raid gear will be needed for 32. Though I can't imagine story missions just giving away Legendary gear.
Clans are nothing but tags. People mainly plan out Raid groups here.

RNG smiled on my Nightfall team.
Every one of us got exotic armor. I got No Backup Plans myself.

Haha, just jump down to the right and jump over with one jump. Maybe it only works as a warlock though?
You can't. You have manually find them elsewhere and invite them / join their fireteam from your friends list.

Atheon change is kind of neat. No more of the get back to the back stuff. You can go ham until the timer runs out assuming you have a Titan bubble to transition from once the relic dies. Took as 3 portal runs.
Pretty unremarkable loot wise but I did get my first Vex Mythoclast. All that's left for me is to get Fatebringer, Corrective Measure and Praetorian Foil and that'll be all the raid loots acquired. Hopefully I'm not saying the same thing in a month's time lol

Any class can do skip jump from 3rd platform tho.
Marvel

Oh, yeah kind of a shame lol.

Titan can do it, too. Yup, jump down to the rightmost platform, then boost across. You'll fall hard but should survive, and if you use your boost early in the leap, you can use it a tiny amount near the bottom to cushion your fall.
Had the same experience last night with a very experienced group of raiders. We experienced a multitude of bugs, took us about 2 hours just to kill Atheon after taking 45 minutes to get there. Several times we got him down to almost no health only to get porting bugs, lack of time's vengeance, etc.. It was very frustrating but we got him down in the end.
