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.

Ah the Psions. Luckily a combination of Void Sniper and AE made short work of them on our run.

I can just imagine the love we will all have when the Dust Palance becomes non exclusive and is thus added to the NF rotation (assumption). Yellow bar Phalanxes, yellow bar void shielded Psions, yellow bar collussus.... ARGH!

The final fight has no real hiding spots if you want shoot the little Flayers and they have stupid amounts of health even on the level 26 ROC. I know you can rocket them off the platform, but when I tried this (with a 318 attack One Way Ticket) the Flayer just gave me a look which said "don't do that".

Sorry folks but I don't think I can make this tonight now. I'll be online most of the night but can't commit to an hour of uninterrupted play :(
 
Anyone up for walking me through my first VOG tonight around 8pm on XBOne? I'm a level 27 Hunter.

Guessing we need at least 2 more but the more the merrier.

Awesome. Assuming this is the normal raid :)

Any hints on recommended weapons for a beginner?
 
Make sure you have weapons you're comfortable with for PvE (normal missions / strikes), have a void type secondary (Fusion Rifle is great) is always useful for fending off pretorians and lastly, just enjoy the raid.

We had Chris last week running with rare weapons, not all fully upgraded either and he went through it fine, as it's a normal run, we generally can carry 1 or 2 newbies, then hope RNGsus drop something decent from the weapon section (you don't want Armour now when vendors sells better).
 
I have the Murmur as my strongest secondary weapon. But pretty sure I have a legendary void RL that could come in handy.

I tend to play PvE pretty much 90% of the time as my PvP skills are weak to say the least.

Adding to the above, as a Hunter you are probably better off with gunslinger rather than bladedancer for this raid as you dont really want to be in melee range to often. Equipping triple jump is probably the best option for the jumping puzzle (and is the best jump anyway)

At 27 you will be able to do 100% damage to almost every enemy apart from some during the portal runs at Atheon however its likely the higher level people will be using the relic at that stage.

My first run I didn't have a void fusion but did have a void LMG which worked fine for taking down shields, this will also be useful for taking out Atheon if you don't have a decent upgraded sniper rifle.

Lastly VOG is a really good raid and the scale of the level seems huge when doing it for the first time at least it did for me! At the normal level we can do each part as Bungie intended whereas groups tend to do some form of cheese during hard mode so can be more enjoyable.

I can have a run through, what time? I should be able to be online for about 8. Should mention that I haven't run CE before. Will watch some videos first though.
