I'll be on from about 6:30pm tomorrow night (Wednesday) if people are around for NF and PoE. I'd also really like to do more Crucible this week in prep for Trials at the weekend, but happy to do that on my own if others aren't keen.

I'll be pro PoE/Crucible.
Did 3xNF tonight, 3 exotics, No Backup Plance, Radiant Dance Machine and another Dragons Breathe... so 2 shards and some dancing machine boots!

I'll be on from 19:45 tomorrow if anyone still needs to do NF and PoE.
35 PoE is brutal this week!
Cleared it eventually, didn't help that Rabbit lagged out 3 times and played half of it using tethered data from his phone!! Glad to see one of us actually get the exotic bounty, but a bit gutted that you don't get more to show for it but oh well, it was a challenge!

Yup I am in.
Ran with Teh_Moe quite a bit during the IB so should be good fun. If I remember correctly we were both "bouncy" hunters 
My hunter is level 33 (will be 33.5 shortly) so should be fine. Ah bugger! You still up for giving the 34 a crack?
Ran the 32 last night with some friends and found it feel the same as when it was the 34. Did ok until the hive with arc burn and then struggled a bit until we found our rythmn / a spot where we didn't get insta killed by the Wizards... Urrox only took two attempts as the initial run failed when a wizard decided to have a party in our bubble when Urrox was raging.... That was fun
. Received nothing of note although I love the look of the WL chest piece on Pigtails.

Yeah should be good then - we have all played together in some way or another which helps. I've been improving in PvP too and I'm a lot better now than when I got the 2x 8-0 runs last week.
Given that you can just buy another pass we can either have a couple of skirmish runs or even just a trials practise run - which may turn into a 9-0, and if not the next one should.
3 top 10-15% players working as a team should plough through it though.
My tactic in Skirmish is to recognise who the top player is on the other team and just concentrate on them. Once they go down, you can mop up the rest quickly.
Anyone managed to pick up the Flawless Raider trophy from the PoE?
I'm just curious as to whether it counts - because the PoE counts as a Raid with regards to the 'complete a raid' trophy. (Only 32 and above).
My mate got the trophy on the 32 PoE at the weekend so I wondered if doing a no death run would count too.

Cheers for the help last night Mid_gen, got Etheric Light & The Ram as drops from two nightfalls, so now have a 24 titan and upgraded fatebringer to 365
Tried the PoE 34 last night, had a great run until Qodron, now that a tough old fight, didn't managed to get it done, but going in blind was interesting

I've got a couple of hours this evening from about 5:15pm which might be a bit early. I'd love to get the 34 done for that etheric light!
1) middgen
2) Col_Jacko
3) OweO
Jacko is normally on earlier? We could run the 32 with a random first and then try the 34 sometime after 6pm?

Yup I am in.
, normally run gunslinger but I've been recently sharping up my blink shotgun game. Got myself a party crasher +1 and finally got it perfect last night so I might see how that goes during the week. Lv34 already after ToO last week so it should go well. You also have some hackawesomeness now .Yeah, I've also decided to just focus on Crucible, got 2x NFs last night, so just need 1 more, and I can just do my weeklies whenever, just going to focus on crucible for the rest of the week now.
Also, if you farm up your coins aswell you can get 30+ a week pretty easily, they drop commonly in Crucible. I may be a bit late depending on how things go, do you guys mind waiting till around 8:30-9pm?
I'll be pro PoE/Crucible.

Did 2x NF, 2x 32 and a 34 PoE last night, got Purifier Robes (looks like Crota Warlock robes with Jonny Depps dead bird from The Lone Ranger stuck on the front) and a new Heart of Praxic Fire with a better roll than my current one. Also got the shotgun from my one chest open.
I'll hopefully be on tonight, have everything I need to make my hunter and titan both 34 now. Would like to run some PoE and try arc sniping Skolas!
I can be on for 5:15 as I finish work at 4:15. I can only run to about 7:30 though as I am already scheduled on some other runs.
Bubble method as soon as you exit into the Vex arena seems the most straight forward approach. Everyone needs max rockets on G'horn and the ability to synth.
- Exit cutscene and the Titan drops bubble with blessing of light (needs to be blessing to avoid death when you step outside the bubble)
- Lob every rocket at boss 2 at a time - retreating into bubble to reload
- Synth in bubble and repeat step above.
- If he isn't down hit him with snipers
40-42 rockets should drop him (might need less but always better to over egg the requirement).
(This assumes we just want to complete the fight as quickly as possible).

Sweet that works out good
I seem to remember Jacko is usually free earlier too. I'll just finish levelling up the chest on lunch today then. Hopefully we can get 32 and 34 done Sweet that works out good
32 is fine bar the Hive with Arc burn on round 4. Basically treat it exactly like the 34 from last week and we will be good. We found being spaced out with someone on each mine trigger point seemed to work last night (it helped spread the wizards out as well). Nuke the knights and wizards as soon as they appear and we should be good. I will be a Titan defender for the 32. Will switch to Pigtails for the 34.
I'll be running defender for both...should have the greatly increased armour for hive in PoE unlocked on the chest, interesting to see how that works out! Might have to do some tests...
Hive sections is mainly taking down wizards and boomers asap, bit of gjally, or my arc tracking should do the job.

Yeah that'd be fine for me - I'm easy on times so happy to do it whenever. Will just spend the night in Skirmish beforehand.
Yeah I've been working on the coins so I have plenty for each character - going to continue to do the daily crucible with each character and the rest should drop randomly. You usually get 2 or 3 if you get the drop.

I think I might have 1 NF still to do this week actually. I did it twice with the same character by mistake.
I'll be on all evening no doubt so drop me a message if you want to run it and need 1 or 2 more people. I'll just be helping mates get to Level 20 so they may want to run it too anyway as they have the gear to level up once they hit 20. Hopefully to at least 30 so i can pull them through it
