Alright guys. Just so you know I usually send a PSN party invite out about 10 before the raid. If you aren't there by 5 after the start time, I'll be posting on here looking for a replacement.
Ugh, it's that helmet? So ugly.
the only way it could redeem itself is if it prevented you from being poisoned by wizards.

Hey Colonel, hit me up when you are home and ready to Nightfall. I'll be on. It's Dienekes21, we raided last Thursday.
That filled up quickly.
Any of the leftovers want to form a new group?
Any vault vets want to shepherd some virgins into VOG manhood?
EDIT: full! With alts!
Normal Raid for Virgins (PS4 ~8:30pm Eastern)
1) Berried_treasurE (stb) - 27/Titan
2) Capt_Verde - 29/Warlock
3) Shokleeto
4) N1ghtz
5) Ashley_US (vet/sherpa)
6) temidien (vet/sherpa)
alt 1) bownser88
alt 2) CrimzonSamurai
Goddamn! The gloves look amazing. The same can't be said for the helmet.
Finished Nightfall on my Warlock, got a Prestige IV purple machine gun. Just like last week. (sigh)
I did 2 Nightfalls + 2 Weekly 28 back to back last week. This week's lack of burn coupled with the boss' excessive HP made it a grind affair I don't feel like repeating. I'll run Nightfall on my Titan again tomorrow and the Weekly 28 twice once the weekend hits and Xür compels me.

Same for me. THOSE GODDAMN BOOTS have evaded me this week as well, giving me nothing but the Raid Chest (again!) and Shards. So many Ass Shards.
Patroclos you are forever referred to as:
"the guy with the sun coming up outside when the raid finished"
You got it! Will do.
I've got more guns than my vault can hold. I just want some fucking gear. I know I'm not alone in this situation.

you know, that honestly might be a variation of what "marked by the void" becomes in the next raid.

Solo'd Nightfall for forth week in a row. Watching the bodies of the victims I've slain for....wait for it.... another fucking Devil You Know hand cannon (though this one is the best one the game has given me out of the other 10 it has already). I give up.
It should be IMPOSSIBLE to get through the raid with just shards and chatter-white.

Bungie: Please keep playing Destiny.
So here are the things I'm settling into doing on a Weekly Basis both for my own progress and fun, and to help others:
- Wednesday, 9:00PM Eastern Time - Static Group Normal Raid
This is my ongoing group's "serious" raid each week (not that we are at all serious about it).
The fixed roster for this is:
1. NarcissisticJay
2. Squall ASF
3. wins1991
4. Palom12
5. Hawkian
6. UnionCarbine
If any of you can't make it this week, please contact me somehow. We have a few alts lined up in the event that one or more of us can't make it. If they're unavailable I will always come to this thread looking for people to jump in and help.
I'm thinking this week, since we tolerated Jay's fledgling 25 last time around, we'll be fine with me bringing my 27 Warlock to the party and then I can use my more mature Hunter to lead the group tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll transfer Gjallarhorn. I know you guys are all chomping at the bit to do Hard, too. I suppose I'm ready now that I'm 29. Maybe we should aim for much earlier in the day on a weekend day if everyone is available.
- Thursday, 9:00PM Eastern Time - Hawkian's Laid-back Newbie-Friendly Normal Raid
This is the weekly one I'm leading to teach the raid to players who haven't had the chance to get in yet, are intimidated by it, aren't comfortable with various roles inside, etc.
I will teach legit (non-cheesy) strategies for each section as we go through and point out variations on these strategies I have encountered that other groups might sometimes use.
It's primarily aimed at people who do not have much raid experience, but all are welcome- if you are familiar with the Vault of Glass, then this run will be geared toward forcing you out of your comfort zone and taking on jobs that you're not typically assigned. For example, if you have never held the relic, have only been confined to one side for Conflux defense, or have no idea what goes on in the Green portal during the Gatekeepers, this raid is for you too. We'll do a lot of rotating different jobs even from wipe to wipe, and I promise we will all improve as players in the process.
The one restriction on getting a slot is that you may not attend this raid two weeks in a row, to allow as many people as possible who need the experience a chance to get in.
This week's roster so far is:
1. Hawkian
2. airjimmy
3. Berried_treasurE
4. EyelessOrphan
5. the7thAssassin
6. mcstevens88
edit: Full!
The atmosphere in these runs (which will be streamed, you can decide to opt-in to your voice showing up or not) will be VERY casual and laid-back. Do not join up if you are not okay with the prospect of wiping quite a few times as everyone gets the hang of what we're doing.
- Friday, 9:00PM Eastern Time - Hawkian's Pay-it-Forward Weekly Heroic/Nightfall Strike Service
If you've had me in your group to help out with a Weekly Heroic or a Nightfall Strike on a Friday evening for the last few weeks, you might have heard me give you a little elevator pitch at the end: "if you have the chance, now that you know how to do this, try and jump in and help out one other person who needs it by the Tuesday reset!"
Essentially, unless I have other plans, I'll pop into this thread at 9 on Friday and ask for anyone who needs help with either their 28 Heroic or Nightfall for the week. I'll get us through and demonstrate either a legit (for the Heroic) or cheesy (for the Nightfall) strategy which has been proven to work and is easily repeated- then at some point when you have a free half hour before the week is over, do the same for one other person who needs theirs. I'll do one or both with you, for as long as it takes to get us through, and then hop out to help another group.
The idea here is that TONS of people get their Weekly activities done early in the week, sometimes with all 3 characters even before I get home from work on Tuesdays- leaving the remaining GAF crew with fewer options to group up later on. I know it sucks to replay content when you aren't getting any tangible reward for it, but some people- even if they're level 28- just don't have the time or ability to attempt their Weekly+Nightfall until very late in the week. But between the huge Rep gains, marks, Strange Coins from Heroic, and XP boost/potential drops from Nightfall, these activities are some of the most concrete progression possible in Destiny, and I hope that as a community we can help more and more people get them done each week.
Keep your eyes peeled if you make it to Friday night and haven't been able to get yours done, and if you know anyone else who hasn't, direct them here!

I'd kill to get that versus the 10 fucking shards that i got.
I ran the raid a couple of times, maybe three ... so I can be considered a virgin
I have a level 29 Hunter and a level 28 Titan. Working on a level 26 Warlock, should be ready for the raid next week.
What's your PSN?

Seriously dude. I've gotten 5 sparrows, 2 ships and 3 helmets. Wtf??

I'll have only (hopefully) done the normal raid once, but I'd like more practice.

I find it a pretty handy rocket launcher. It feels like Gjallarhorn baby brother. It holds 3 rounds and has clusters that split into smaller explosions on impact.

Its on my backlog too. Unflinching + regen sounds like the best perk out there. If they buff Pulse Rifle DPS one day it could become a beast.
