Nice job on the Atheon HM finish..think we got it down now. Having right weaponry for oracles helps! Think I will get my SGA levelled :)

Should fit it a run with alts over the weekend....afternoons best time for me.
 
Cheers for the raid tonight lads. Congrats on the rewards :)

Anything happening tomorrow night?

I think there's a VoG run at some point. Not 100% sure as I'm not in it.

I'll probably be trying to upgrade my Raid items. Maxed Black Hammer please :D
 
I'll skip VoG then.. got 200 shards already and nothing to use them on.. I'll find a CE raid somewhere, only 7 shards from 32 so hoping to hit that tomorrow.

Yeah, cheers all! I was happy getting one weapon and 12 shards. Definitely prefer shards to energy at the moment.

All I need from the raid now is the helmet and shotgun, then I've got everything. Not bad from 4 runs. Still 24 shards off level 32 though!

Yeah it was a great run finishing him off. IIRC we did it in three portal runs. We might have got it down before if it weren't for the bugs. At one point we went to "Venus", I slammed the enemies and no Oracles spawned. Then they spawned and we all died.... W T F?! Also of highlight was the 4 of us returning only to have me (the relic holder) appear back in Venus again... :o Luckily I did get back in time to drop the shield for ~12 seconds of times vengeance.

I'm really comfortable running with the relic now.

I'm up for a weekend alt run. My second Warlock is now up to level 31 on her own armour but I might switch out Pigtails armour to give me extra intellect. I'm also going to upgrade the VoG helm I got to give me an alternative for non CE raiding.

My hunter is also level 31 so I could run her instead. I might even have WP rounds unlocked on G'horn by then. :D

I hate going through the portals - EVERYTIME I come back I always get teleported back onto Venus or Mars!! - bit frustrating that there's still so many bugs - no wonder Crotas End is still a mess.
 
Indeed as always the game was buggy. Almost every time i jumped out the portal it took me back to it. I will be on this afternoon if you guys want to go for a Crota or whatever you like. Almost there to max out Vex and need to start on my magical drop of G'horn.

I am so sorry Greeboth you did the whole nightfall thing while i jumped in before you kill the boss and i ended up with the loot. Thank you for the runs man for both mine and my gf's char she managed to get to lvl 3 vanguard ( i dread leveling that thing up especially if you are low lvl).

Yeah it's easy to do in 3, 2 with WoL....main mistake at first was someone chucking grenades at Atheon :) Once he settled down you can land those BH precision chains no problem. I also switched in the later runs to clearing out all the harpies before I jumped in the bubble. Happy doing the relic at GK and Atheon now so all in all a productive run.

Unfortunately my 32 armour has no intellect....but meh. Will have my second lock up next at 31 with high int gear.

That was pretty funny me and apostolis joining Greeboth at the end of Nightfall and dying repeatedly for a few minutes, before apo got Gjalla :E Cheers for that.

Tip of the day : don't run through the portals, walk through them. Much less likely to glitch back in.

The majority of glitches in Destiny come from the netcode model they use, where every client is it's own authority for most stuff, and is fairly optimistic in it's predictions about what is going to happen. The glitches happen when server/client communication is interrupted and the game has to reconcile the server and client data and decide which is the truth. That 20 second pause before containment fields and oracles appeared was typical! Still....the advantage of this model is that you don't need to predict anything, if you hit on your screen, you hit.

Yeah when I wasn't running the relic (I think I ran it all three times when we took him down) I was using my Arc LDR. I would have used my Icebreaker but was already using my exotic slot for SGA. That gun works so well on the Oracles & detain shields (Once the SGA perk is unlocked). On one run through the portals I started with 54 rounds and ended up with 48 still left despite hitting every Oracle.

The NF run was funny as we could hear what was happening. I assume you were dying due to where you spawned?

I was dying due to an affliction of noobness. I was trying to get into a safe spot but kept getting one-shotted by the Psions.

Must remember to get levelling up SGA...I'm pretty confident Bungie will do something to make VoG worth doing after the next expansion....I'd be :( if it became totally worthless as it's so much more fun than CE.

Same here, one shot by psions. At the 4th or 5th time i was like never mind i will just stay in the entry bit and hope that nothing spawns at the door. I managed to get a few sniper rounds on the boss who was at that side and Gree finished him off. It was so much fun if you could spectate the runs it was hilarious. The noobfestivity that happened was out of this world. Run in, psion says hi you are dead. Get to orbit, wait 1 min, go back in run in, psion says "You again, just die already". Do that a few times till it is no fun any more and you have a nice recipe of killing the Nightfall

That happens when people try to pass through the portal together, just wait and go through one at a time.

I think it is just further proof that RNG'esus hates me :( I think I can manage to forgive you if you break it down :p

Ok then i need a shard after all for Vex..
