It was very tough.. but it is doable.

The thing with void damage.. I can understand it.. however...

I have a flame fusion rifle and its so powerful it removes the shields in one shot.. and then allows me to switch to my primary and destroy the minotaur/Pretorians.

I think void is required if you have a lesser powered weapon.. but once you get past a certain level of attack I believe that any elemental damage will do the same thing.

Xbox was telling me last night that the impact is so high on his hand cannon that it removes the shields with one hit and then obliterates the enemy with the next. This was shown by his kills during the final section.. where he was almost double the kills of the nearest team mate at times.

We will finish it tonight.. we just need less talking during and more focus.
Don't worry about what others are doing.. the only thing that should be mentioned is the locations of the teleports and the screams of "help me" when required. :)

I have to disagree - try the same tactics on nightfall and you'll realise how important it is to match the elements with the enemy shields as the wrong element just means you'll do damage as if it was a normal gun.

Having the most kills but then repeatedly dying to Minotaurs suggests that it's all good for goblins just not for Minotaurs. You need to down them as quickly as possible as ultimately they are really the only things that will do you harm. Its why I recommend void weapons...

I could quite happily kill loads of goblins but thats not gonna help the team.

I would. How much raid gear do you need for 29? I think we'd all need to be that as a minimum.

You can hit level 29 with normal legendary armour and one exotic piece. Not sure if you even need the exotic piece to be honest. I fully upgraded my stuff yesterday and I'm sat at 111 light. That's with three legendary and one exotic.

We'll see if we can get a team together then since there is some interest :)

Jesus that was tough - level 26 just makes me as tough as custard - thanks for the last minute join Sieze2. Least we can get it done and dusted tomorrow - bring those heavy ammo packs!

And seriously void fusion rifles are epic against shielded stuff in the VoG - doesnt matter if its rare...

Thanks for all the support every time I squealed about a pretorian on my side. It sure is hard to put them down when level 26. I hopefully I can get to 27 in the next few days.

:( i can't believe how close it was. That sucked big time. I need to get myself to level 29 to make life a bit easier haha

Next run we need to decide on a team of 3 who go through the portals each time. We also need to wait until we're ready to go through the gate before we kill the last oracle as i noticed the damage buff started as soon as that was killed. Meaning 3 people inside the portal were running across the level and missing out on shooty-boss-big-damage time. I didn't even know you could do a stronger jump attack with the relic till halfway through!

Just sucks that we were starting to get into a routine and then people were dropping in and out left right and centre. ******g servers haha.

I don't think level 29 would make it much easier tbh. With a little more co-ordination it should be very do-able! Having the same 3 teleport would help - although I was always teleporting no matter what so there's one of the three!

I think when we leave the portal we should do the method where relic holder runs to central floating platform and holds up shield which everyone else runs to and unloads on the boss. The only damage you can get is splash damage off of the raised block on the left of the platform otherwise you're pretty invulnerable.

With 5 seconds of extra damage time left the non teleporters break left and right to resume killing the harpie's and opening the portal and the teleport team run backwards and repeat.

Without all the disconnects it would be easier to get into the flow of it!

This is how my group did it when I ran it with 5 friends last week. Fairly easy method as long as you clear the harpies quickly. The only thing you have to be careful of is not accidently running into each other while you're jumping off the middle platform, that caused some mayhem with us :D

You can only base your opinions on the experiences you've had.. And I'm saying
that, imo, there is no real need to worry about it.

Plus.. If you don't have a void weapon and can't buy one then what can you do about it?

You di the best with what you have. :cool:
 
watch the video and it does appear to only teleport 1 of them.

It would appear from that video, that Atheon only telports half of your group into the other time worlds. Its not hardcoded to teleport 3.
