    I know a large contingent of PS4 folk (mostly Europeans?) got their raid on earlier, but any chance we can get another crew together to do a VoG or Crouton (if we must)?

    Ok, I'll send y'all some friend-blurbs.

    So... anyone else for PS4 Raid in next half hour or so? @Cilla Black , @DouglasDanger , @twotimesadingo

    I would like to do a VoG on my Titan but he's only 29 so if that's a no go then no worries, I'll keep xp grinding my gear to hit 30. There's a full 5 5,000 xp bounties today so I might actually get there.

  • metaghostmetaghost An intriguing odor A delicate touchRegistered User regular
    29 should be fine, I would think. Though I guess some enemies are 31?

    On Vault of Glass hard they're all level 30. Normal mode they're level 26-28.

    Crota it's 30 to 32 on normal mode. All level 33 on Hard mode.

    So team Euro Trash ran it's first raid as a group, bringing @Frei with us for his first ever raids.

    And guess what dropped from Ir Yut?

    Now all I need is to get my hands on that Horse.

    Stats be damned, I'd use that gun purely for the aesthetics. That's a nice looking piece.

    The stats and perks turn that gun into The Lord God Death Himself in Iron Banner and Crucible.

    For some reason I thought Hobgoblins during Atheon Timeportals were 31.

    Watching the Prison of Elders reveal. Professor Broman needs to be taken out behind the shed and put down. Aside from that, I'm liking what I see.

    EDIT: Also, he seems to be allergic to field scout. Who doesn't use that option on both Fatebringer and Vision of Confluence?

    Doesn't Field Scout on Fatebringer only give you one more bullet? Seems like a waste

    It also increases the amount of reserve ammo you can hold, which is a huge difference. It was painful transitioning from Fatebringer to Word of Crota because of the difference in reserve ammo.

    Ah I didn't consider that, what's the difference in reserve ammo?

    Speaking of Field Scout, I got The Culling FWC machine gun with it, which gives it a magazine of 150

    It's the reserve ammo with the Fatebringer. Word carries like 60 and change. Fatebringer has like 90+. On raids it makes a massive difference. Besides the other perks aren't all that good.

    I'm probably gonna hop on and level my hunter... but if anyone wants to do anything that requires a 32, give me a shout, and I'm happy to flip to my warlock. Doesn't look like anyone's about, but if people wanted to get a VoG running, I wouldn't say no.

    See this? Don't do this.

    http://youtu.be/SrbVlL3-hoM

    I don't get it. They tried to jump on part of the environment that turned out to be out of bounds so you reported them? Or was something else going on?

    They were in a fireteam together and didn't want to do the strike. So instead they decided to be assholes and waste my time. Afterwards they sat down in the spawnzone until I left.

    So thinking back to the Prison of Elders. One of the modifiers was that guardians had massively increased health and shields but they don't regenerate. I'm wondering if Suros or Red Death (or the various powers like deploying a forcefield or the titan's punch causing shield regeneration) can overcome this? I can't wait.

    Doesn't work. Deej tried it on the stream but I don't know if that was from Deej sucking or not. Also from what I've seen, health regen still continues just at such an incredibly slow pace that it may as well not.

    I did notice that if you die and are revived, your health and shields do return though. Perhaps teams can work with that to survive.

    I would guess it's like Red Death as described above.

    However, the mechanics will be sussed out and posted online by DestinyWizzardFromTheMoon99 about two seconds after HoW goes live.

    This guy has some great videos of soloing Crota's End. He shows how to each part with and without a Gjallarhorn.

    Just in time for it not to matter in House of Wolves. Regardless, I like playing Pretty Pretty Space Guardian. Each is bearing something that reminds me of them. Warlock with Bad Juju and Obsidian Mind, Titan with God of War and Vanquisher, and Hunter with Saterienne Rapier. I'll be curious to see how their weapon loadouts evolve in House of Wolves.

    I'm really hopeful the PoE modifiers might get rotated into dailies / weeklies / nightfalls. Though nightfalls might get a bit TOO crazy.

    Never gotten God of War either (Amalthea is actually better looking, at least on my Titan), I really want a Refraction Melt which can look really badass on certain pieces, it actually dropped after my ROC strike the other day... For another guy.

    I have gotten a legendary emblem, a Shark Whisperer and the coolest non raid ship I've gotten so far, Extinction Event from ROC strikes this week. (Also a fair deal of blues needed to boost my supplies of Sapphire Wire and Plasteel Plating.)

    Those Roc strike ships must be pretty rare. I do SO many and I got Little Light a bit after release. I haven't even seen any others of that type drop, except for my "Glory Hole" Jump, but I can't remember if that's a normal Vanguard ship or not.

    Little Light is probably my favorite one.

    I was pretty happy that everyone else was miserable, but then I saw someone smile slightly at work today and it has just ruined everything. Everything! I guess I have to become a.supervillain now to correct that.

    I still really like Quite Content Damsel a lot text wise but it just isn't an attractive ship. I can't justify using it over the green xwing or magic school bus

    Though, I did the trick to get the old busted original ship on my titan, and have been loving that.
