I'm saddened by that Warlock armor set, it looks like slightly touched up stuff from level 10. Especially after very cool looking stuff that is VoG helm and chest armor.
That's not the new raid set.

That's not the new raid set.
Well, if the clan is active post in the forum or the chat and get folks to add you as a friend then organise a raid.
Fwiw I did my first raid last night by just going to the tower and finding some randoms. Good luck!
I posted this earlier in this massive thread but... I got invited to try Hard Atheon last night with a team and I noticed several glitches and bugs...
1) I once got teleported to an empty area with no enemies and no other team-mates once. It looked like the Mars teleport room from the first phase of the Atheon fight... I couldn't leave so I just got marked by the void and died and we all wiped.
2) Another time I didn't get teleported but I got marked by the void anyway and couldn't be cleansed and died and we all wiped.
3) You can get detained after getting teleported... this happened a few times...
4) I took a lot of damage from Atheon inside the Relic bubble... and I had to leave or be killed...
5) several times I would be shooting Atheon with my multi-tool right at his critical spot from inside the relic bubble and I didn't see him taking any damage with damage stats popping up... not sure why...
6) the bug where you go through the teleporter and don't get teleported is still there and happened to me a few times...
The encounter seems harder with the random teleports and even more buggy than before...
I totally agree with this statement. Always great fun hanging out with our crew of people makes bounties, patrol, strikes, or glitching in the tower all the more fun.
My group had the same bugs in normal minus the detainment after teleport since of course the detainment does not occur in normal.
I really wish they would fix the bugs before changing mechanics, my biggest issue with the game. I really do enjoy the gameplay and playing with Gaffers and others has been a blast.
Man the post 20 loot progression in this game is weird. I was expecting some sort of defined progression path like rift had, dungeons, expert dungeons, 10 man raids, 25 man raids with specific sets you could work towards tied to currency for completing those raids + random loot drops in the missions. Instead its just random loot drops and grind vanguard and crucible marks to buy some pieces of gear. Its awful. And no matchmaking on heroic strikes is idiotic.
Yet all three armor sets are identical to every concept art, screenshot etc. on that official site. Color me pleased if that unimaginative and lackluster set of armor isn't warlocks Crota Tier, but for now I'm concerned.
Very surprised they only lifted the cap 2 levels. I thought it would go up 5 or 10.
What's the maximum level you can reach without the raid? My daughter (age 12) is currently level 23, and I have her communications restricted such that she currently has no one on her friends list. Where will she top out?

Keep in mind even if the relic holder is holding the bubble button, if he is moving or strafing, the bubble does not stop incoming damage. they can only look around with out moving.
At least that is what I have noticed. It may not be an every time glitch, but it is often enough that I just plant my ass and don't move.

24 with just rare pieces.
Assuming she stumbles on an exotic and fully upgrades it that'll be 25-ish and close to 26. You can get to 29 without touching the raid. That would be with 1 exotic piece and buying the rest from the vanguard vendor assuming she won't play pvp.
You can hit 29 without the raid
But it requires random vanguard epics so you would need to farm marks for a bit
You can tell from the preview pictures below that the Crota set looks much more alien than even the VoG set:
Yeah I guess with the random teleports you can get an inexperienced relic holder who moves or gets pushed... so that might have explained my point 4...

So will Xur's stock will adjust up accordingly once the DLC is released?

I made it to the other side.
But somehow, I died as soon as I landed. Never happened before.

First reply nails it again.

Doubtful, since not everyone will have the DLC. We're going to have to earn the new exotics.
Well, the way I look at it is, I get my guaranteed coins per week, then anything else that comes from engrams/nightfall/what have you is gravy.
So, last week I was able to do the Weekly Heroic on 28 with my Hunter for 9 and 26 with my Warlock for 6 (thanks again to those who helped him through it!) = 15 guaranteed.
This week, I did the 28 weekly with my Hunter and aim to do it again with my now-26 Warlock, so that'll = 18 guaranteed.
And my Titan just got to level 8... so next week, who knows.
29, with considerable effort. 28 is just fine.
Or they just add a requirement like the vanguard weapons. Then they can add 1 additional dlc item and just put a req of owning the dlc to buy it.
If they're looking to extend the life of the game, I doubt they will sell the new items.

That Hunter helm looks badass.

Yeah, I was just joking about another flawless raider run that was one jump away from glory...
By far the safest, most reliable least stressful (but still super stressful) route for flawless raider is to follow the intended spiral path of the platforms as they appear. There are 7 total (the magic number in the raid), and each jump is extremely short and simple once you know the pattern. You can't leave anything to chance or the fall damage might glitch, you might land weird and slide off, etc. etc.

that necrochasm though
It would make the exotics a lot more rare which I am alright with.
Damn, I wish I would have known. I ran the raid twice last night and we got someone from from a different site. I've had you on my friends list for forever and saw you were on, never knew you haven't completed it. I'll shoot you an invite next time we run it.

Did you try Flawless again?

Flawless Raider is going to be so hard now with all of the glitches
what do you mean? did the patch really break the raid?
Flawless Raider is going to be so hard now with all of the glitches
Yup. Your flawless until you get marked by the void when you didn't get teleported and you can't be cleansed and your team wipes... Or until you get teleported to an empty environment and you can't leave and you get marked and everyone dies... Sorry guardians!!!
Well, sometimes Atheon will teleport 1 or 2 instead of 3. Add on top of that the portals being glitchy.
Congratulations. Acquire a great legendary swap-in like TDYK, Lord High Fixer, Red Hand IX or Timur's Lash and fully join the flock.
This is a defense of nothing, but this happened to us multiple times before the patch.
Send me a message If you find a team... I could jump in with my lvl 29 warlock...

Interesting glitch that happened to me in Kor's raid last night - got killed on the first phase of the Templar fight, and when a teammate revived me I got sent back to the first chest in the raid zone.

Haha I know, I was just joking. It can be really frustrating because the raid is absolutely riddled with glitches. We have to do our best to reduce their likelihood of happening, even just a little bit
Yeah, we are running it now. First attempt died on the jumping but we got some glitches on Atheon anyway (only ported 2 people twice in a row). Going to run it again and hope for the best. Sadly everyone missed their best chance before this patch hit, but it's still very doable. Everyone just has to be on their toes that much more.

Yeah, prefect all the way except I died on the jump puzzle AFTER landing on the other side. Never happened before.
Feel bad for the team, we did so well.
Yeah, we had only 2 people, the same 2 players teleport each time. Third one had to enter the portal manually.

Been enjoying my time with Destiny so far, got myself up to level 22. Done all the story missions, a few strike missions but have mainly been doing crucible as thats normally a lot of fun.
Need some advice though, should I continue mainly spending the free time I have doing control as I have or would people recommend doing the strikes instead? Main reason I ask is that I know I get more armour from Strikes (Plus ones I can discard for parts) but collecting my main armour set im probably just going to save and buy them (level 30 stuff). From having a look I cant see much difference between the PvE and PvP gear except the upgrade abilities and so far I have managed well with a mix match of stuff. Only rank 1 for crucible and still rank 0 for Vanguard so wanted to check before I go full speed on either side.

Anyone else notice this part from the expansion website?
I read that as you can increase you light level with stuff from the DLC story missions
Yes please. While I'd obviously like to get to 30 at some point, it's in no way a pressing matter. I'm a casual raider; if I get an invite and have 3-4 uninterrupted hours in front of me I'll usually join up. But quite frankly getting to 30 as fast as possible doesn't seem worth the stress and anguish chronic raiders put themselves through(even more so now)--from LFG begging, to getting shards & shaders clear after clear.
Still, I've been banking ass shards just in case I do happen to get some raid gear, but if this is true I'd much rather invest those into a scout rifle build and upgrade that along with my AR-focused legendaries when the DLC hits. I support this, Bungie.
Yes, in my experience this is not an every time glitch. I have definitely slowly walked with the shield up and continued blocking incoming damage. Definitely smart to not move, however.
We also experienced a glitch on the gatekeepers I had not experienced before in which someone went through the left portal, immediately died, and his positioning was such that we could not revive him. He died in the very middle of the portal. I died and took the view of his dead orb and it appeared the portal had two sides to it with his corpse directly in the middle, was hilarious.

The whole reason I became interested is because my wife recommend them for their playstyle. Just got a random Lord High Fixer drop and has been using it for some time now.

Yeah, having extra slots is going to be really nice. 5 is manageable, but as soon as you get an exotic bounty (or a couple) it really hampers how you deal with bounties.
If you enjoy doing PVP more than strikes and weekly missions then I would say stick with it and complete all of your daily bounties (or as many as you can). On the flip side though, I think most people work on Vanguard as points and marks are much more plentiful.

Hmm. Dissapoint if this is accurate. The raid weapons appear to be almost identical to VoG raid weapons... but they are white? You got an Arc Handcannon... a Void high RoF Assaut Rifle... etc etc....
