We were just running Normal since we had one person who has never done it before and another who had only done it once I think. I definitely find it more fun and less stressful to run newbies through it than to LFG a hard mode run. Though if anyone gets the hard mode Atheon checkpoint I wouldn't mind snagging that.GLOCKGLOCK said:io, looks like you got a ton of weekly stuff out of the way just a few hours after the reset. If you are going to run Atheon, just do hard mode. I have picked up a few Vex and a Ghorn that way. I'm not sure if you get double exotic chance from doing normal then hard, but doesn't seem worth it to me.
This lack of a Hunger of Crota drop is bullshit. If I don't get it this week that will be 40+ raid completions without it dropping.
Also the predictor was right, Nightfall is Archon with all burns and Weekly is Archon with void burn. I'll be on around 8pm eastern tonight if anyone wants to run them.
I haven't run the weekly yet but you are level 30 or 31, right? Someone should be able to take you through the Weekly at 30 and the Nightfall too.ajh2298 said:Had a little bit of luck this morning ran the daily on the level 26 difficulty and 2 of the 3 blue drops turned into legendary weapons. A fusion rifle(plug?) and the LDR sniper rifle.
Are you running normal or hard? Either way, I might jump in if I can get on early enough. We did a full Normal run and then just Deathsinger/Crota on 2 other runs so I definitely have more to do. We can cheese the bridge part too after you run lamps. Depending on what characters we bring we can do that with as few as 3 people.simosaurus said:I'll be on around 9:00 EST and will be looking to run nightfall and the weekly x3. Then I'm going to help a certain ninja run the lamps and get the last few shards he needs.
Yep I am level 30 but usually just run the daily at the mid-level difficulty when I am by myself which is always since I mostly only play in the mornings. I also have a horrible weapon selection for the most part. I would love to run the nightfall because I have the fusion rifle bounty to do. I have tried to run them a few times solo but get toasted pretty quickly.We were just running Normal since we had one person who has never done it before and another who had only done it once I think.

Yeah, the Nightfall is pretty easy this week with all the burns. Vendetta and I did it once with just the 2 of us. We unloaded nearly 2 full G-horns at the Archon Priest and that by itself almost took care of him. Vendetta finished him off while I was running for cover after I shot 6 rockets. Don't skimp on the heavy there - make sure you have a full set of rockets when he comes out. It will make things much easier. If you have to start dealing with all the adds it can get tough. Oh, and also don't try to run (or rather, sparrow) past the Vex before the Archon Priest. Those snipers and minotaurs will take you out.
I wasn't aware the weekly had Void burn - that's nice as I have a pretty good selection of Void weapons now.

Well, I know I can run the lamps on normal, but I'm not skilled enough to do it on hard yet. But if I had a couple other people with me I'd love to run them on hard. So, I'm up for whatever. ☺Are you running normal or hard? Either way, I might jump in if I can get on early enough.

You have got to be kidding me! That would have been a dream drop for me this week but I've already beat Crota 3 times on Normal. I think I am going to be the last person who regularly plays Destiny to get that stupid Hunger of Crota.Finally after 40+ normal raid clears Hunger of Crota has dropped for me! Even crazier was that I received Red Death and a raid helmet from the same loot drop.
Red Death
Heh - I didn't know that either. Let me know if you want to plan anything. I still have HM kills to get in and haven't done anything on VoG this week other than the Gorgon chest. I should be free pretty much every night - the later the better.EDIT: Oh so I was watching someone stream on twitch and just now realized you can close the fireteam to invite only! I feel like a tard not knowing that . I always assumed you couldn't close the party
If enough people are on I will gladly run sword again on hard or run VoG, maybe I can get Chobo to run sword so I can get exotic chances with my Warlock and Titan.Heh - I didn't know that either.

And heck, if we can't get it done with that group maybe we can try to 2-man it. The hardest part there would be getting across the bridge with the Titan jump. I did it last night again but it did take me a few tries. It's too bad we didn't think of trying this way back when you could despawn everything by standing in that one crystal room.
Wow, congrats on that one guys! I'll trade you a Hunger of Crota and Red Death for that achievement once they implement trading in the game, deal? When does the achievement actually unlock, once you manually kick back to orbit? With the history of wonkiness of achievements in Destiny and the XB1 in general that had to be a pretty long wait to see if it would unlock.
Managed to get Flawless Raider with io and 3 others. So yeah we 5 manned the Crota raid and didn't cheese the bridge either! I'm off to Redbox at lunch to get the stack and my 1000 gamerscore on the 360 version now.
io has a short video of the kill here:

So happy to have the game complete gamerscore wise.
It took us about 2 hours ish. It didn't unlock right away. We actually didn't think it unlocked. So io, left but he didn't sign out, he changed guys and it didn't pop. I assumed he had logged out otherwise I would have said something. Anyways later on one of the guys on the team got kicked with an error code. He logs back in and it popped. So naturally the rest of us went into party chat (we had been in game chat because 2 of the people on the team were streaming on Twitch) and boom we all popped them logging out then back in.Wow, congrats on that one guys!

Well yea, since I can't trade you Hunger of Crota or Red Death I wouldn't mind a run at it as well if you guys are offering...That's mighty impressive guys, congrats! Would you be willing to assist a couple of us in an attempt or two at that achievement? I know I'd love to get it and I think there were a couple of other guys looking for it. Ryuu maybe?
I won't speak for io, but I'd be willing to help. Plenty of time to get runs in before House of Wolves in MayWell yea, since I can't trade you Hunger of Crota or Red Death I wouldn't mind a run at it as well if you guys are offering...
Building it wasn't really the worry. It was when we got over. You have to have a titan with a bubble on the left side because of the boomers. I was the only hunter but was able to hold the right totem.Yeah, that's where I was expecting a little trouble, mostly on the bridge building because the thralls and acolytes can swarm. But if everyone plays smart, it should be doable. Thanks for offering an assist, Vendetta!
Ok, we got three....who else is in?
Ugh, that time in limbo had to suck big time. I wonder why they can't fix the unlocking of achievements in the game. Thinking that might have impacted their decision not to add achievements to the game, or maybe they are just lazy at this point. Has anyone that plays on PS3/4 know if there are similar issues with trophies unlocking well past when they should?It took us about 2 hours ish. It didn't unlock right away.

I locked the fire team this time too. None of those shenanigans that happened on Tuesday was happening on my watch!
I remember reading somewhere that Bungie actually doesn't like achievements. Maybe their stance hasn't changed. I was sad when I saw there were no achievement for Crota.Ugh, that time in limbo had to suck big time. I wonder why they can't fix the unlocking of achievements in the game.

I'm pretty sure that having someone join in the middle of the raid would void the achievement for everyone so probably good to have a locked down fireteam to avoid 'interruptions'.
I never really planned to run it since the jumping and glitchiness in VoG always seemed like a deterrent to me. But normal crota is pretty easy now that everyone is 32 and a pretty quick run overall. If you guys decide to try it again sometime I'm interested, but I'm not in any hurry to do it and like you said I'm sure it is not something you want to run every day, lol
The video isn't quite so good without the achievement showing. Now I still need two more achievements: the salvage one and the one for killing all 3 types of guardians in Crucible. I got all the other crucible achievements from the last Iron Banner (all 7 popped 5 days later when I got a server error and then logged back in). I'm kind of surprised I didn't get the 3 guardian kills one but I've heard that is glitchy.Managed to get Flawless Raider with io and 3 others.

I logged out in terms of switching characters. And then I quit the game entirely. I think one of the other guys did a hard reset of his Xbox too. I also logged back in and pulled my Ethernet cable (resulting in a "canary" error). That didn't do it either. So I figured that was it - it might show up randomly 5 days later. Apparently the trick is do the "switch profile" when you log out - even if you just select the same one again. That's what made it pop later. Why quitting the game or pulling the cable doesn't reset things but switching profiles does I have no idea.It took us about 2 hours ish. It didn't unlock right away.

Congrats on the Flawless run.It would have been so much easier to get this achievement when you could despawn everything by going in that back room. But then again, back then people weren't as comfortable taking on Deathsinger and Crota so those parts probably would have been much harder.
After getting 3 over, we tried getting 2 people up there but they couldn't make it. It was easier just to do it legit.Congrats on the Flawless run.
While it was easier to despawn everything before, it can still be done. But it requires getting people up to the tippy-top of the towers.
It's probably faster doing it the original way, just not as safe.
Yeah, if you're gonna go for the despawn, it's best to get everyone up before sending anyone over.After getting 3 over, we tried getting 2 people up there but they couldn't make it. It was easier just to do it legit.
Wait, what? Really? Or are you trolling!?simosaurus said:Red Death! Thank you, Xur.
No sir, I am not trolling. Got RD, Insurmountable Skullfort, and an engram that turned into Glasshouse. It's a good day.Wait, what? Really? Or are you trolling!?
Good, I was going to suggest you get the Skullfort. That's my favorite Titan exotic.No sir, I am not trolling. Got RD, Insurmountable Skullfort, and an engram that turned into Glasshouse. It's a good day.
Have you done Weekly Heroic yet? 9 coins easy.Crap now I wish I didn't buy that exotic shard last week since I am 6 coins short for Red Death.
Only the easy 3 coin level. I tried the mid-level a few times and couldn't finish it.Have you done Weekly Heroic yet? 9 coins easy.
You must believe in yourself!Only the easy 3 coin level. I tried the mid-level a few times and couldn't finish it.
I just turned level 31 last night but my character really sucks.
Yeah it is good. 2 headshots will kill a person in PvP right now. That is assuming all the bullets in a burst hit their target. Plus with Red Death perk, you regain health.Is it even that good? I'd think you would want to use Bad Juju over Red Death just for the auto-fire if for no other reason. The regen health on kills part seems like it wouldn't come into play all that often.
I'll be leveling up my Red Death the rest of this week but it was my plan to use Bad Juju (if not Vex Mythoclast like I did last time) in the next Iron Banner.
I just wanted it for collection sake, not because it was some sort of OP gun.
I think if you already ran the Weekly Heroic at a lower level you do not get rewards even at higher levels. It seems like that happened to me before. Maybe they've fix it - I dunno.ajh2298 said:Tonight the last night I will be able to play for awhile because of my work schedule changing to mornings. So if anyone can be on around 11:00est tonight that would be great.
Just let me know - I am way behind on work so I'm going to try to stay off Destiny unless I have a specific activity to run (like Atheon). Though I do need to work on that Red Death now... I'll probably get on regardless around 10-11 pm (Pacific) or so.Vendetta_x360 said:Also Foxy said she'd be down for some Atheon runs.

I can run with you a little later but I'm working now. If you are on later Vendetta and I can run you through the first two parts of Crota on hard - you can get some nice weapons and armor that way.

Hah - awesome. Well at least they have a sense of humor. Maybe they could direct some of that snark into NEW CONTENT now .Bungie apparently made it so you can't datamine xur to determine his wares. Now when they do that, it shows No Land Beyond in every slot for what he is selling. So Bungie totally trolled them. :lol:
