@Quad
, 3 hours just on the Templar?!

You can cheese the Templar too

. Watch the next raid, Warlocks are going to be useless for the cheesing.

Yea I got both sub classes maxed out, so I can help with the grenade throwing.

I guess I will just be happy that I got my Warlock set boots on the first run in VoG since some guys haven't yet. I def need to level my Titan up so I can at least go 2x a week though. I already got an exotic helm and 2 legendary armor pieces for him in the stash waiting.

Yes, the freaking hours, the entire raid took maybe 5 hours total ....we had a level 25 and 26, and both never even been in the raid before so we to explain wtf is going on while also manning our positions.

Honestly, if you are not level 27+, you will be dragging the fireteam down. Unless you are just joining to fill in spots for cheesing Atheon, it's really not worth spending that many hours carrying lower levels through. Or if they your boys and you wanna help them out, but might as well help them get ascendant shards and level up first. Raid with Level 25-26 members took us 4 hours and couldn't complete. Raid with 27+ took 2 hours and was able to complete. 

At 26 I could more than handle myself in the raid. Leveling up to 27 really didn't make it feel any easier to me at all. 25 is just impossible though.

Ran a raid with 2 25's (including me) and a 24 and told them we weren't even getting through the front door. Never even got close

Spent like an hour before they admitted it wasn't happening. Had 2 people quit on us right during the middle of it. It was an exercise in futility.

 

[quad]

zero23 Yea I know, I was helping a couple NT'ers cheese Atheon but need to go thru the entire raid anyway since it reset.

That's the thing tho, we completed the freaking raid with a level 25 and 26, which is almost like having 4 people, I accepted the challenge and we beat it.

If yall can't find a complete six, hit me.

 

[wrightone86]

@Zero23 yea man @Biggie62 was smoking us rolling around doing patrols and Public Events. Talking about "see you there"

.

I would buy the one from the Vanguard, but I know with my luck as soon as I upgrade it, I will get the legendary one from the raid and be stuck with the 2nd. Granted I could give the other to my Titan, but I would be pissed about the waste of coins on doing so, lol

Too bad we can't steal people's scooters like we were talking about. He hop off to get some spinmetal or filaments and just hack him right there on the spot

Raid Tonight so far:

Zero23

Biggie62

WrightOne86

Based4urFace

TruBlue

Marcielago

BasedJesus

I'd say around 10pm EST? Knock it out in 1-2 hours? We need Warlocks and that infinite grenade sun fire super for the Templar then Void supers for Atheon. Warlock Master Race for this raid for sure...

Looks like we might have one over so depending on who's online or not at the time we will choose. I know Biggie, Wright, BasedFace and BasedJesus and Myself all ran through the raid before. So either Tru or Marcielago we will add one of you to run through. Hoping to spend the least amount of time possible on the Raid.

 

[biggie62]

That scooter from Antheon is a suicide wish. You do know that it says that it has a chance to overheat right? You dudes be rolling and next thing you know you die because it blows up on the way to a fight in nightfall lol

Any chance you guys are going to do it this weekend or posible even friday night?

If I'm on this weekend and y'all running I wouldn't mind helping out to get some more practice in on the Raid. I'm trying to get to a point where we can run it on hard level 29+

 

[freshpairs]

is psn down? im signed in but cant access friends list or play destiny

See my problem is (and wrightone86 can back me up on this) I seem to be some sort of magnet for enemies. I die alot........like alot . Currently I am a level 27 warlock and since ascendant shards are such a pain to acquire Ive been trying to decide if I should wait to get better gear or just bite the bullet and further uprade my current gear to hopefully not die as much.

 

[wrightone86]

yea everything loves to attack @bobby99son. Every time I have ran with him, it never fails that all the mobs will attack him and he will die, lol. I mean to the point where nobody else is even taking damage from anything except him

.

I meant to ask you before if you are running the Sunsinger class and is it maxed out? Make sure to be using all of the subclass perks that give you the most armor & recovery that you can have as well. Throw a punch in while you are fighting for the fire armor buff as well.

Sounds good. 10 pm EST, so then around 7 here. I'll be on

I bit the bullet and leveled my chest piece 2 lvls with shards to get to level 28 until I start getting raid armor. It should help a bit and I had plenty of shards. Just do the daily and public event and you should be okay. Or better yet farm public events if possible. But people need to understand that even at lvl 26, if you want to raid, please have an exotic or legendary primary along with a void heavy. It'll make your life and everyone else's life easier.

I have my defender fully lvled now so if you see my bubble up tonight jump into it for a second. Increased reload speed and 20% damage buff for all!

QFE. This was the only reason I had no problems in the raid at 26. Legendary and exotic weapons that put in work.

Killed them before they killed me cuz I knew rolling with the punches was not gonna happen

 

[wrightone86]

Yea that is why I was trying to get either the Grim Citizen or Shadow Price because I wanted a stronger auto rifle for the raid. I love my Shingen-E for PvP but it doesn't cut it in the VoG. Doctor Nope was cool but stuff got too close to me since it is a high capacity/low impact auto. I will saw though, that the last time I was in there, I had the Bad Juju with the auto reload perk unlocked and I could handle the Templar adds without ever reloading the whole time for the most part. I have unlocked the last 3 attack power upgrades since then, so I am interested in how more efficient I can be with it. I have the Shadow Price to fall back on as well.

I need a new void heavy. My rocket launcher is lvl 19 void and my machine gun is legendary arc damage.

I want that auto scout rifle now though. Hope to score that the next time in the raid.

Interesting read. I never knew the damage breakdown per level before. On top maxing the Juju out, I also bit the bullet and hit lvl 28 as well too. I def should fair a better in the VoG.

Yeah, the exact reason I went to 29 and spent the shards. Figured it would make the raid easier. Plus, I already made back the shards I used in Weekly Heroic and the daily and public events this week.

 

[itshlittt]

just started a second character. female awoken

anyone have a suggestion on the quickest way to get her yambs to level 20?

 

[wrightone86]

These guys legit beat Atheon on hard mode in 17 seconds!

@Zero23 look at all of his drops?!?!

 

[wrightone86]

Ok.....so now the "unfortunate people" that do not get good drops are complaining about every damn weapon in the game!!!

 I've just noticed that people have posted up nerf requests for the ice breaker, suros, and the vision of confluence and no im not joking. This really has to stop its just getting depressing.

EDIT 2: Now the last word has a thread debating its nerf as well.

I know I was for some of the nerfing and balancing, but this is getting out of hand if they actually go through with any/all of these.

We are actively investigating issues impacting players' ability to sign in to Destiny on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Until resolved, players may experience disconnects or be unable to sign in.

 

[wrightone86]

Someone on Reddit decided to make the menus and features that most people have been asking for in Destiny and it looks very good. I will include the link and put the description in a spoiler for those that don't go over there.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Please if you have other ideas feel free to share it that'll do my best to create it!

I'M LOOKING FOR A FIRETEAM

While in the Tower when bringing up the Nav Mode you could press the d-pad buttons to change your status that would appear above your head, just below your level. I'm looking for a Raid - or others - would appear, being easier to find players that are looking for the same as you are.

• Others point of view.
• People said the previous concept could be text cluttered (the tower already is anyways). Instead of the text it'd show the Activity Icon.
• Your point of view.

GRIMOIRE

• Presentation - first time opening the Grimoire. Identical to the website.
• Grimoire Menu.

VOTE SCREEN

For both Strikes and Crucible

NAV MODE

Enhanced Nav Mode Some say the previous concept takes too much space. Could this be the solution?

ADVISORS MENU

In this case only the faction that you're currently working on - using its class item - would be visible here. Easy way to check your Rank/Current Reputation instead of going to the Tower just for that.

Some suggested how it would look with multiple factions. Example of multiple factions.

PAST LEVEL 20 PROGRESSION BAR

I started to level up another character and how I missed the progression bar. Instead of the regular next-level progression bar this one would be slightly different (color) showing you how much you need to get a Mote of Light. Could be disabled for those who don't like it?

AMMO SYNTHESIS

You could use your d-pad to use ammo synthesis faster while you're aiming down sights. If you hit the left d-pad button, as an example, while aiming your Heavy Weapon you'll use the Heavy Ammo Synthesis. The same applies for the other guns types as well.

This is so important, it's not just visual. I'm a PS3 player and when something is going on in the background sometimes it takes almost a minute for the Inventory to load. Which makes the Synthesis almost useless to old-gen players when you quickly need them in the VoG as an example.

• Option can be easily visible like this.
• Progression bar to prevent unwanted use of the Synthesis.
• The countdown could work like this, too.

It's obvious that the option would only appear when you have the necessary Synthesis for the gun type.

QUICK WEAPON CHANGE

I don't know if this could work, maybe it doesn't fit Bungie's gameplay ideas, but I created it nonetheless. I don't really know how it could be implemented (control) - holding the up (primary weapon), right (special weapon) and down (heavy) d-pad perhaps? This way it wouldn't replace the current dancing, pointing etc. animations. Once the UI is on the screen you could navigate through the guns using the d-pad buttons. It'd then disappear after a couple of seconds.

Some may find strange this UI in the middle of the screen but that's how most games works, it must be there for easier visibility. It could be more than 4 slots tho - the one in the far right is the current gun being used. The option would only pop-up when holding the d-pad button, obviously. I kinda dislike this feature but I created the concept because some Guardians suggested it/like the idea.

Example of the Quick Primary weapon change

LET'S SUPPORT IT ON BUNGIE'S FORUM:

Some fellow Guardians decided to post this in the official Forums. Let's support it! The first topic is Here and the second one in the Feedback area is Here.

EDIT: Thank you very much for the gold. Didn't now this would be so successful. I'm extremely happy and even tho Bungie could never even see this, I'm glad I'm helping the community! I'm editing this every now and then with new ideas. If you feel like you should be credited just PM me.

EDIT 2: Latest concept(s): Quick Weapon change // I'm looking for a Fireteam // Ammo Synthesis.

 

[infraren]

I know there are raids and whatnot in this game, but is there just a "multiplayer death match" type where you just go on and blast eachother? Like Halo/Call of Duty..
