Whilst it would be nice for the people to figure things out for themselves, my plan is to subject anyone unlucky enough to be stuck on my team with doing the objective as much as they can. I believe everyone needs a little push and hand holding to get good with every aspect of the raid. Especially if the random teleports becomes a thing! It's easier to have the safety net of Normal mode to do that, the skills are transferable to hard mode. Just need to encourage not dying on Normal :)

Well you've seen my help in action when you ran it the first time and I was just on comms waiting to help when needed when frustration crept in (Gorgons labyrinth still has me in stitches :D). It takes more time but the raid should be enjoyed in a game that has such limited unique content...

It does seem that most just run the raid to whatever cheese move is available and when that is fixed they rather learn another one than do it properly. I'm all about the cheese when it comes to Hard raid though - just about makes it possible - dont know anyone whose has done it all the way through properly...

Can someone just explain; based on a fresh reset, what is the best approach?

I'd like to typically do the normal mode in full and then find a lucky hard mode cheese on Destiny LFG.

Or should I be doing the hard mode cheese first and then the full normal run?

I think Im wierd I just run them properly from the start when I get the chance - Ive cheesed Atheon on Hard though a few times just because people need a Sunsinger and asked me to help. Saying that Ive got a 28 Titan that Id love to throw in as hes stuck in a rut when it comes to raid drops...

Ill get what I get when I get it, my Hunters had less work done on him than my Warlock, yet ones level 30 within say 3 raids, while the other still only has 2 pieces and has run it probably 10+ times. I should be frustrated and sometimes I am looking at how other people are so lucky and arent aware how much they are - running multiple characters means I just always have something else to move that frustration into...

So much of this game and why it attracts me has nothing to do with the game Bungie made and everything to do with the effort put in outside of that (social stuff, organisational etc). Its basically kicking around a football at break time at school...

Just to let people know they've made the Conflux part of the Templar fight much much easier on Hard mode. Kinda of a joke how easy it is now...

Minotaurs now seem to spawn as pairs though and Hobgoblins seems to snapshot far quicker and are more aware of you it seems.

The Atheon fight is so annoying as the bugs with the luck you need inside the portals makes a consistent run very very difficult. I'd recommend all using tracking rockets when you get out as it should take a third of his health in each wave. Don't rocket inside the relic shield though :p

I still haven't got past him yet - if you guys are worried about the cost of heavy ammo, remember Xur sells 5 packs for a strange coin...

You can shoot rockets safely from inside the shield, I've never had many issues with it. The problem comes from everyone strafing and not sitting still while shooting Atheon. No need to strafe as the relic shield protects you :)

I would also like to point out to those who don't know, that your grenades will recharge almost immediately with times vengeance on, so spam away! They deal mad amounts of damage to Atheon.

Ive never used rockets in the shield after being told they dont go through - I swear Ive seen people die using them but maybe someone was in their way :confused:

Have they? Not seen any info about this change yet.

Its pretty much childs play now compared to last weeks - the defend wave is far shorter - the Legions length seems to be about the same and just as random how long it lasts...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
A lot of 28s dont like using shards on non-raid legendaries. IIRC youll need to do 4 shard upgrades (24 shards) on the 2 non-raid armour with an fully upgraded exotic and raid armour to hit 29...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
My Titan has a E head, L hands, R chest and L legs and the two L pieces needed 2 slots each filled though perhaps only one needed two - I was in a rush to get him ready for hard raid so probably wasted shards...

Still 18 shards is a lot to waste when hoping for a raid/exotic replacement...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Hutchy - grab me on PSN now and lets have a chat

You don't need a lead on normal raid, just need people happy to work together to plan then execute...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Just tried that cheese method on Atheon for the last hour and I think its a small chance to get him to fall of at the middle. He seems to teleport when he's floating in the air

Just don't think its easily replicable at all

Still looking for a 6th and replacement for tomorrows Hard Raid:

Added you dude - if you guys can mention availability too that would be great - trying to consolidate a regular group but getting a day/time that suits all is a nightmare. Be nice to get say 10-12 people where you could run 2 hard raids on differing days to suit all as a week in, week out thing...

I might not be around tonight, not sure yet :D

I'm wanting to play Evolve with a few peeps but not sure when we will be playing so I would look for someone else!

Good luck with the Raid ^.^

Cheers for the notice I guess - tbh Im quickly getting to the point where I might just give this up, I already have a main hard raid group and trying to get one on here is more trouble than its worth - just annoying how flaky people are when it comes down to making/keeping a commitment. I moved it to Friday because people wanted that and stopped UberGinge from joining assuming more people could make tonight :(

Well that was an interesting experience - threw every tactic we had at Atheon but never had enough lucki in the portal to put together a boss killing run. Bit disheartening but we stuck at it!

Not sure when we can all get together to finish this, so let me know - thanks again for persevering :)
