Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) OK, Big official raid sign up post I'm going to say 290+ minimum as I'd really like to clear it this week. First Team @Dan_Dare @Shorty [@ReZourceman] [@Daft] [@Eddage] [@Map] Done! Edited September 28, 2015 by Dan_Dare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 28, 2015 I'm in, although if we can't get two raids going then I'll offer my place to someone who hasn't done it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) @ReZourceman will you be able to play longer than 10 minutes this time? Edit: I'm up for raiding this week. @Blade @Agent Gibbs How you guys looking in terms of lvl and guns? It's not a massive issue at the start but by half way, you definitely need a good sniper and heavy machine gun (but mainly sniper). As a rough guide, from the second half of the raid you need to be 290 and for the final boss, 295+. Edited September 28, 2015 by Daft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame I missed Xur this weekend so I didn't get a chance to buy Three of Coins Well, I'll do a couple of Strikes today, see what'll come up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without spoiling anything, there are roles for people without good snipers and machine guns...until the last boss, I would say it was pretty necessary then. Although maybe doable, don't really want to say it can't be done. One of the quests gives you the option for a sniper called 1000-Yard stare. It's amazing.

I really should focus on some quests Most of the time I've done strikes as I love the new ones. Think I'll do quests again when I've maxed the Stormcaller subclass and switch to Voidwalker.

Posted September 28, 2015 Playtime: 1d 2h 55m. Haven't even had my PS4 a month. Whoever told me to get this game(believe it was the knowledgeable @Shorty?) is a genius. Also big props to my mate for playing with me and keeping it fun. Was on for pretty much all of yesterday(12/1ish til...12/1ish!) and we rinsed out The Taken King story iirc. There's still some gaps on the maps that we haven't done, but yeah...this game. Good game. Not sure where we're gonna be going next, though. Anyway - me and he are both like 240ish light level Titans atm - if anyone's after people to do stuff online and that's a light level that suits do give me a mention! We're gonna try and get Marcamillian involved too but I don't think he'll be as dedicated/wasteman as us. Would be pretty good if we had another regular 3rd man that fits in with us, but alas I don't think anyone else is as unemployed/superflexitime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you see me online and want to do the Level 36 strike playlist, just invite me. During the day I mostly play Destiny with Spotify on, so I won't use a mic. If that's fine with you, send me an invite : peace: If I drop out without properly saying goodbye, don't be mad. It's probably because I meet up with friends/my girlfriend.

Posted September 28, 2015 Was playing the Vanguard strike playlist at the weekend there and dear god, some of the people jumping in are pretty awful. And from the looks of their Grimoire scores, they've been playing for quite some time. This one guy, who stayed in the fireteam through 4 strikes was just ridiculously bad, getting downed left, right and centre. It was so bad that I actually stopped bothering rezzing him because it wasn't worth the hassle. I get that some people may still be getting to grips with the new strikes brought in with TTK but seriously, some people do need to learn to stop fighting and take flight for cover. I know I'm running a Defender Titan build, and my Ward of Dawn is at Tier 3 but the cool down is still 4mins and I can only do so much carrying in the strikes. Think in that entire run, I was the only player to not get downed once across all strikes despite the extra weight Has made me weary of playing the playlist when that's the type of player I'll get matched with but gonna have to keep going if I want weapons and such. Slowly creeping my light level up. Up to 233 but finding it a little hard to get that up any higher as weapon drops are hard to come by and the best Scout Rifle available from vendors happens to be with Dead Orbit and I levelled up New Monarchy instead. Slow progress on getting that ranked up so I can get it but from the sounds of it, it'll be worth it as it packs a bit of a punch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though seriously I am probably the weak link in deaths(despite trying to cover). I'm usually first to die, then others follow, but I revive a lot when I can too. I never joined a faction btw - was this a terribly terrible idea? I just couldn't choose so never did. I probably should. Will likely do so with my other characters if/when I level them.

First Team @Dan_Dare @Shorty [@ReZourceman] [@Daft] [@Eddage] [@Map] Done! OK so team is all in. How are we for times? I'm free whenever and would like to start early in the week so: Tuesday at 20:00? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 28, 2015 I'm away on Friday and Saturday, but willing to support any other days this week if you need a sub. Also willing to help out in a 2nd Raid group for those who haven't done it before. I realise some of you want to do it blind however, so if you choose to have me I can keep quiet and not spoil anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) I am at 294. Cant raid tonight. But am interested in the future. Really enjoying this game. Great after MGSV which soured on me after a while (mother base junk, weak story). Its been a great year for gaming.

Posted September 28, 2015 Yesterday I managed to progress my sword quest to the bit where Shaxx is waiting for materials. Then it's the Sunless Cell strike? Probably going to need help doing that. Looking forward to my exotic flaming sword. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2015 Yesterday I managed to progress my sword quest to the bit where Shaxx is waiting for materials. Then it's the Sunless Cell strike? Probably going to need help doing that. Looking forward to my exotic flaming sword. Good luck with the ten materials/500 solar ability kills, horrible, horrible step! @Zell, @Sheikah and I were farming the materials for close to a couple of hours the other day. Zell and I were lucky and found all ten in that time but Sheikah only managed (I think) five. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Already did that step. Took an hour for the materials (I was messaging @DriftKaiser as I did it, got five within 15 minutes and then the next five took 45 – and I ran a VIP patrol mission while doing it) on the moon and then about five strikes to finish off the solar kills. Wasn't that bad at all. Radiance, HotPF, Viking Funeral and Monte Carlo; it's easy when you know how to synergise. So it took about two hours in total. Was actually super easy. The moon just isn't very interesting, though. Hence me doing a patrol mission in the middle of it. Edited September 28, 2015 by Daft Getting my timings right.
