I think most of you are just so accustomed to having good luck haha. I haven't got an exotic drop in well over a month.
Well yeah that was what I have been doing too but with these constant exploits I am losing faith that we will have a cheese-free Hard Raid, which then to me makes it absolutely useless.
Yeah that was kind of ridiculous what his drops were. To be fair though he didn't get dick when we ran through Crota before doing VoG. And I'm still corrective measure-less and Timepiece-less. .. Oh well at least I got Ir Yut on Crota earlier. So I only need Hunger and I'm set weapon wise.Yeah, I had that happen once as well. And I didn't get two Thunderlords. I got a Thunderlord and a Truth.
Vendetta had the Vault of Glass hard mode Oracles checkpoint and we ran that with him and some of the people from my other Raid group and I got a Vex, Atheon's Epilogue, and a ship. That was a pretty good drop from Atheon though I already had all of that. One of the people from my other group had never gotten Vex so she was pretty pissed me and Vendetta's friend also got it. Vendetta's friend had probably the best Atheon drop ever though: Vex, Icebreaker, helm, and ship. He also got Praedyth's Timepiece from the Oracles. I didn't see anyone get the Praetorian Foil which is the only weapon I never got from VoG.
Vex is definitely still 323 max. It's too bad they didn't increase it - would have been awesome to snag just after the update if so.
I swapped all 3 of my characters out for the exotic chest and only got mats. Someone else got Patience and Time.
I still need to run Weeklies on two characters and then I'm definitely taking a break until Monday night.
Rad, you should have heard those dudes in VOG last night before I invited you. We only had 4 people at the time (I found the group on Destiny LFG) and I was like, I have someone on my friends list who I think would be down, I'll send him an invite if we need someone. They're like, "Whoa whoa, first we need to know whether he's level at least 31, does he have either Gjallarhorn or Ice Breaker, is he really good, has he completed the raid on hard before... Tell us his gamertag first so we can vet him." I'm like, yeah, you're totally right, rather than me inviting someone, we should just not do this because we don't have enough people instead. Great idea. Then of course, I told them I sent the invite and within 5 seconds it's like "Where is he? Is your friend coming? Why isn't he here yet?!" nonstop. Luckily they settled down a bit once we actually started the fight.
Haha that is why I hate LFG stuff. I just need to play with friends I really enjoy playing with and we know each other's skills and everything. I would rather not play at all, than play a Raid with people I do not like playing with.
100% agreed. I actually must have gotten lucky and I've met some really good people at first through LFG. I'm dreading trying to do Crota that method now because I bet 75%-80% of those kids on there only cheesed and can't do that shit legit. Last week was rough trying to get people for VoG hard. These kids I grouped up with wanted to do Oracles non-cheese, which is fine. Then they proceeded to die oh about 10 times. So being strapped for time as is, I suggest the cheese. And these dipshits couldn't even do that right. I normally don't bail but I was pissed so I just left and said F'it.
I used up my noob patience around VoG raid 20, more or less :lol: . And no question about it, I really try to avoid LFG now even though I've found some good friends that way. I'd just rather play with friends and avoid the grief
I would have finished the raid with them if they would have talked less. I've been struggling to find solid fireteams lately, being a 31 doesn't mean anything, there's no way to judge raid experience. It'd be nice to line up more raids with the CAG group instead of always jumping in with randoms off the fireteam finder. Anyone doing Crota tonight? I want to get that done and then play IB the rest of the week and try to finish Thorn and Bad Juju.
And we were missing probably the best player from our group (the "Bahamat" they kept referring to when joking around). I'm pretty much the scrub of that group - so you see why I've latched on to themVendetta_x360 said:
. They always invite me to stuff, though, so I must not be too bad of a scrub...We've never gotten the two. I thought they patched that anyway? Though it seems like their patch was less than they claimed it was. Anyway, if you have a level 32 swordbearer and you down Crota 3 times, you can get him killed before the ogres even spawn. At worst, if your sword guy screws up you can get it done in a few more tries after ogres. We've had the swordbearer die, killed the oversoul, revived the swordbearer, and still beat Crota. But really the level and skill of the swordbearer is critical. I tried it once and since I kind of suck at the jumping stuff I couldn't get up there quickly enough. I'm sure with practice I could get it done, but when 5 other people are depending on you it is just easier to go with the people who are better at it.Crazyglitcher said:
Yeah, speed is the key really throughout the whole Crota raid. You want to rush through the first part just so you don't have everyone scattered around in various places. The second part (if done legit) needs some speed because the longer you take getting people over the bridge just means more chances for someone on either side to die and screw it all up. Of course there's the timer on Deathsinger. And then there's a pretty short enrage timer on Crota not to mention that he moves to the right if you don't get that Swordbearer pretty quickly.Vendetta_x360 said:
I haven't done them yet, hit me up when you see me online and I'll join.
First world problems. ;-)
Hmmm never really liked Fatebringer in PvP. Most encounters are usually 1v1 maybe 1v2 and so having the explosion doesn't help all that much from what I have noticed. I still prefer one of my million Last Words hahahttp://xboxdvr.com/Ryuukishi634/a129edde-197a-45a1-a36e-81961511cfa1
Getting a feel for Fatebringer in PVP... Nothing too special in the clip but I thought it was funny because I got a postmortem double kill (I remember unlocking an achievement for that in Halo Reach!) that was sooo close to being a triple if the one guy hadn't been a little faster than his teammates.
Yeah I kinda feel the same way. I have a TFWPKY that's completely tuned for stability over reload speed, since I figure if you're trying to reload in the middle of a firefight in PVP, you're dead no matter what. And of course Thorn is a beast, gotta love all those postmortem poison kills. :lol:
Damn you guys have some unlucky RNG
IceBreaker, No Land Beyond. And got a 2nd Suros from the Nightfall last week.Yeah FateBringer is definitely a stronger PVE weapon than PVP. Last Word and Thorn are definitely better options IMO.http://xboxdvr.com/Ryuukishi634/a129edde-197a-45a1-a36e-81961511cfa1

And yes I have 2 Gjallarhorns
Yep. I did the vault of glass every week and never managed to get raid boots..... Until I went back with a group to do it on hard after Crota came out. Then I got two pairs. Of course, boots were the first things I got from Crota and I also had a pair from Iron Banner. In fact the last month and half of VoG all I received were ascendant materials.Damn you guys have some unlucky RNG
This week I've gotten 2 exotics from the raid.
Same here except that I never got gloves during VoG and I had been running it 3x a week since launch...
to be fair you run the nightfall and raid 66% less than the rest of us. otherwise you would have every exotic like the rest of us
I was thinking it but didn't want to be the one to say it : Pto be fair you run the nightfall and raid 66% less than the rest of us. otherwise you would have every exotic like the rest of us
There are a few that are 360, not many but a few. I can't remember who thoughUnfortunately I think all of us are on X1.
If the game would let me double raid/double nightfall (once on each version weekly) I'd probably play it on 360 as well though
I may be in the minority here, but I think there are plenty of Destiny players who only run one character. And the fact that so many people have played multiple characters and still aren't that much better off with weapon drops than I am (getting multiples of the same gun) doesn't really persuade me to level up any of those other classes I created. I think Bungie has a good core, but their reward system does not give that dopamine release like other games have perfected. Maybe they aren't going for a loot based game, but I don't think their replayibility is going to come from the extraordinary amount of content they have.to be fair you run the nightfall and raid 66% less than the rest of us. otherwise you would have every exotic like the rest of us
I actually enjoy playing the game with different characters. Each class has its own playstyle and it is fun to approach the same nightfall or whatever but in a different way.
Oh, I get that and it shows the good game design on that is in there. I just meant from the perspective of getting better loot from RNG by playing multiple characters. It doesn't seem like multiple characters increase your odds that greatly. I know pleanty of people who play multiples and have yet to get an exotic from the raid and then there are people who play one character and seem to get something every time.
Sorry, I quit a little early last night. I still want to run VoG this week. I'll be around between 7:00 and 10:00 CST tonight, otherwise I can do tomorrow night, Saturday afternoon, or anytime Sunday.
Oh yeah that is a crapshoot and is completely luck based. Regardless though I would have 3x shitty luck with a chance of one of them being good vs 1x shitty luck with only a chance that one could be good.
Bungie released some numbers previously that indicates there's an average of just above 2 characters per player. It's not about the replay value, it's about getting 2 extra slot machine rolls a week for minimal effort (what else are you going to do? dailies??
)

I'm talking about when I told you this repeatedly two months ago and you said it was a waste of time leveling up another character (6-7 hours) and proceeded to spend hours and hours on dailies (and falling through the floor in AC:U)
I didn't say it was a waste of time. I just didn't want to do it because I would rather do Nightfall, Weekly, etc. once than run through it three times even if it is with different characters. Then go play something else. I would do that daily on occasion but not every day. Usually at this point if I'm in Destiny I'm running around with others and that's what I play it for. Not very often I'm solo and I'm definitely not playing for the "rewards." I'm not judging those that do want to play it that way. I just don't want to. And technically I do have three characters, just two of them are level 2. I would be more interested in what "Bungie says" if they included how actively people play those characters. It is just like when Facebook says they have so many users, but how many of those are active, bots, or just zombie accounts? ;-)I'm talking about when I told you this repeatedly two months ago and you said it was a waste of time leveling up another character (6-7 hours) and proceeded to spend hours and hours on dailies (and falling through the floor in AC:U)
I would love something like that where it is far more dynamic. Right now Crota really does not feel powerful himself at all. The final fight is just a paced effort against the situation and not really against him as a boss. I know in something like this it would be difficult to give such unpredictable actions but really I would welcome it greatly.
When we ran it the other night he did come into the side rooms a couple times. Not that far but it seems like he has a larger range of motion than what I remember.
Speak for yourself Mr. Obsidian Mind. Oh yeah, wait, even 65% less Moose got that... (I also don't have Suros, Red Death, and a number of armor pieces).gotdott said:to be fair you run the nightfall and raid 66% less than the rest of us. otherwise you would have every exotic like the rest of us
It actually kicks you to orbit? It seems like we have hung out there for a very long time and never had it kick us. Of course my group is usually rush, rush, rush so we haven't stayed more than 20 seconds afterwards this week. Some people still got exotics when going to orbit even then by the way.GLOCKGLOCK said:
Yeah, Crota's been able to go into the rooms since before the patch. Learned that the hard way, during the first week of the new raid :lol: .
What I noticed is that often the other people would be joking about what someone got (because it was a No Land Beyond) and that person meanwhile had no idea they got it and didn't know what we were talking about. Then when we went to orbit they understoodaFrostyONE said:

Ditto. Wasn't going to but said, F'it and grabbed it at the last minute. Stupid half-asleep decisions :lol:The joke's on me: I bought one from Xur. But at least I haven't gotten any from the Raid/Nightfall, so that is the only one I have. I bought it just for the grimoire card
