Right I got to 26(.5) now and finally got all legendary armour. To join these raids, is this enough or is a higher level needed?

I was at level 26 and a bit last night, it is perfectly doable but if you can get level 27 it would be a lot easier on yourself and the rest of your team. The problem came to when going into the portal worlds where the enemies are level 27 and as Frodders above pointed out, I'm usually the relic guy and I was just getting smashed apart on there, doing very little damage and taking a tonne.

My advice would be try to get to level 27 but it's not the end of the world if you can't, if you're lacking shards there is good chance you'll get several in the first couple of parts of the raid too :)

we tried to do the raid last night on our alt characters again last night and breezed through it, up until Atheons room.

We normally do the portal / gatekeepers first time but it must have taken us an hour. Combination of new person playing with us for the first time, and most of us on our lower level characters and our relic holder on level 26 and their character no longer suitable for the role as the game had capped their damage due to being level 26.

We definitely missed you. Would be happy to give hard mode a try on our primary characters again this week if you're free ?

Last night was frustrating beyond belief, I'm not surprised Nuts rage quit :D

Like you said it was easy up until Atheon's room then it all fell apart. No co-ordination, the new player doing their own thing and not telling anyone and people not being quite high enough level for certain roles.

I think I need to get some practice with the relic as I've never taken that role, I would have been more useful last night instead of running round like a headless chicken.

I can see now why matchmaking would make this raid harder, not impossible, but harder than it really is.
 
I think it definitely pays to set up a regular group and keep to it.

I think we need to find a core, then find a time when we can all do it, as opposed to trying to do it on Tuesday and finding subs for anybody that might not be available. We can carry a sub around when we're all on our normal characters, but its a different matter on the second attempt when you've got your alt character.

Yeah i'm about most evenings this week :D only done the raid once on normal as well so could happily help you guys finish the normal run if you were to retry atheon.
 
Anyone doing a Raid this afternoon on XB1 or tonight after 9pm? lvl 27 Titan (may be 28 by then) or Lvl 28 Hunter
 
My Polish mates asked me to do normal raid this reset. All was going fine till we got to last boss. They wanted to push him off i was like ok blocked my so i was falling off str8 after spawn and two warlocks started granade ****. After 1.5 hour they gave up and decided to do it normal way.

We killed it normal way on 3rd attempt in 15 minutes. Gotta love exploits like that LOL
 
Sometimes people rely too much on exploits.

Look at level 24 strike list, more and more people are using exploits just so they don't die, and doing the exploit right from the word go at the final boss fight, it's unreal.

Did find 2 guys that wants to speed through strikes doing it whatever the moment suits, did 4 strikes in less than an hour together. Team work > Exploits.

Yeah no surprises there. Had people do the same thing with the Archon Priest. Its lvl24 with no special modifiers for christ sake.

theres no point stopping and killing the enemies on the way however if your goal is to farm the results of completing the strike.

People could be farming vanguard marks + rep. The only goal to obtaining these is to complete the strike, so as such its just a case of doing it as quickly as possible.

People aren't interested in fun, because the strike playlist ceases to become fun when you grind it for several hours just to get the marks / rep.

But how can you say what people are doing a strike for?

Someone earlier on in the Destiny thread on the the topic of strikes was going on about how he would run past all the bits you can ignore, get to the Darkness zone and suicide to speed up the run as it moves the respawn point forward.

If I was doing the Strike for a 'Strike without dying' bounty or the Invectives '5 strikes without dying' phase I would immediately quit. Good luck speed running it a man down.

Guys from last nights 8.30 run, up for finishing off Atheon tonight?

My meeting has been cancelled so I can make it again tonight. Matt was rocking it with that shield in the end, and we got really close till a portal glitch and he could not get through. The funny thing was we ran to the centre and got slaughtered ! The frustration was we got to Atheon in under an hour, then it all fell apart. I bet tonight it will be 20-30 mins then job done. See you guys later.
 
I would love to know how many people play this game for the enjoyment of anything outside of the raid, crucible and the daily, weekly and nightfall.

Potentially you have:

7 x daily missions
1 x weekly mission
1 x nightfall
2 x raid (hard and normal)

The rest of the game for me is trying to get better armour / weapons if I am completely honest. We have all done the very limited number of strikes dozens of times to the point they are not fun.

At the moment I still enjoy the game but I will see what its like after the next expansion. It takes so much time and effort to upgrade and find good weapons and armour and if they pretty much make them all irrelevant with the next chapter I won't be amused.

Apparently thats exactly what they do in this genre of game. There will be better armour for sure (at the very least). They obviously want to encourage people to buy the DLC.
 
Am I right in sayng the raid is like nightfall, once done in the week theres no opportunity for further rewards until next reset? Multiple characters/difficulty mode excluded of course.
