*** Destiny Raid & PvP discussion thread ***

When I head shot with the explosive rounds on it still has the firefly effect, so you can double up on arc explosion goodness! all I've noticed it doing is reducing the damage per bullet, which it says it does anyway.

I'm not sure if the firefly works on all types of enemies though. I don't think it works on harpies/supplicants.

Yeah i've not had it work on the harpies, gatekeeper things (templar/nexus shaped ones and not seen it work on hive wizards yet either.
 
As for 19:30 start, that would be grand! :)

:cool: Just in-case people have missed it I'll do some extra formatting.

XBO Tuesday 19:30 - Hard mode

1) gord - 30
2) duck - 29
3) Krisboats - 29
4) Jones - 30
5) Parko - 30
6) Martin - 30

I didn't get it at all in my test, but I did only test it on Vex and Cabal. Goblins / Hobgoblins crit points along with Cabal's head. Maybe the explosion damage I get keeps killing them rather than the actual crit shot?
 
After tomorrow I will be doing attempt number 13, 14 and 15 trying to get the fate bringer and I'm pretty much getting to the point where I'm losing interest, that and the raid is more frustrating then fun right now with all the bugs and glitches that can happen. I don't even bother with Atheon on hard right now and I just stop once I've got the chest down before the gorgons labyrinth, since it isn't worth the headache of failing the Atheon fight again and again because something didn't work as it should have, just to be rewarded with a shader and some shards.

Hopefully with the next patch they won't "fix" the Templar glitch and break 3 times as many other things in the process, by all means stop it being pushed off, but if it causes more issues as a result I'm pretty much done with it after that.
 
Yeah I would be up for that. Level 29 Warlock (in white with Pigtails..... they are important dammit! :mad::p)

Wednesday would be better as I am planning to multi run the NF tommorow night (Tuesday).

EDIT: I will ask if Piphal is up for it as well (Level 28/29 Titan with VoC).

EDIT 2: Piphal can't do Wednesday but he is available Thursday. I can do any evening (bar Tuesday). :)


Im in - 29 hunter - Tuesday or wednesday also good for me!

Will keep the spot for my +1 until I hear back.

Q1: How many raid pieces do you need for 30? 3 + 1 exotic? Q2: If you run the raid again during the same week, do you get nothing, or just shards? Desparately need the shards!

Yeah that's right, new Iron Banner gear can get you to level 30 as well. So that's an alternate route if you enjoy the crucible.

You can get rewards once per character, per week, on each difficulty. However, if you do hard mode before normal you'll get double reward drops on each checkpoint - once for normal and once for hard. They both come from the hard mode loot table as well I believe.

Q1 - Level 3 you need 3 Raid + Exotic or all 4 Raid. Chest, Gauntlets and boots all will drop in normal raid, helmet is only possible in hard. That is why it is best to get an exotic helmet if you can.

Q2 - You get nothing.

Edit: Too slow :(

Count me in if theres a spot left for wed.

Ta. Boots and Gauntlets to come then. I've been on a lucky run with drops the last couple weeks so fingers crossed...would like to get 30 before the DLC arrives.
 
I have only done hard once and got helmet and Mythoclast which was very very lucky. Technically I only need boots as I have raid helmet and gauntlets and bought chest off Xur over the weekend but wouldn't mind doubles off eveything to save swapping armour between characters.

I'll be around from 5pm GMT (I'm in Germany) for a few hours tonight if anyone needs stuff doing. I've done nightfall but not the weekly yet.
 
I'm considering running the normal mode a couple of times back to back this week. Bit jaded with hard and all the Atheon bugs and just like to get the raid done in one sitting than to hope people will turn up to finish it...

Seriously pal, count me in. I have 2x warlocks and 1x hunter with too much time on my hands whilst im on sick from work. Just message me.
 
Schnippzle - what level are you at? Fresh level 26 here (only had the game 2 weeks) up for some VoG with other newbies/alts. Doing the weekly strike later with EleventhAndy but only at 22 because he's slacking back at level 21 or 22 I think.
 
Anyone up for a later Tuesday XBO Raid? happy to do normal or Hard (have lvl 28 and 30 characters). Looking for a 21:00 start.
