We had a few blips during our HM run last night but we got it all done in the end and was very happy to help get Moe and Greboth through because they deserved it, hopefully get another run done on Thursday. Still no harrowed raid primaries from Oryx -_-

Anyone on XB1 down for HM raid? I'll also jump in a NM raid if there's any going?

I have - 311 Titan/313 Warlock

The only benefit with Spindle over Eirene is not having to reload, but that's a big benefit. If you have perks to improve reload of snipers in general or Eirene in particular you can mitigate that benefit somewhat.

The spindle is still a higher impact than the Eirene I have, but to get it to a decent level I would need to probably do 3 infuses.

His countdowns leave a lot to be desired though...

Not by much though. Even as a 313 guardian with 316 Spindle, it "only" does around 135K damage under the same scenario.

Ah ok, I was expecting it to be much more than that.

Cool thanks. I won't be able to do anything until probably Friday evening.

So perhaps I would pencil in Friday at 8PM? VoG NM should be a right laugh massively over levelled.

Sorry Owen, can't make Friday now as the wife has arranged for us all to go out for a family meal. Gah! I'll be around most of the weekend though if you still need to do it by then.

I'll join you Thurs also Razer

So, after finally sorting a raid out for my raid virgin friend, he's just sheepishly told me he forgot it was bonfire night on Thursday and has to his kids to a firework display so he can't make it!

So, anyone else fancy joining us on Thursday? So far there's me, my mate Tim, Zoomeez, Davie and TehBlueBear. Again, really not bothered whether you've done it before or not.

Best laid plans and all that, ha

Bahh these HM drops are starting to do my head in. I got my 5th or 6th harrowed chest, a load of 300-310 garbage and shards for the rest of the HM drops.

Good run through with the AVF guys though.

Starting to feel a bit pointless raiding now, if you're lucky you might edge up a half light level. I'm still gonna crank out HM once a week mind....really hope these challenges are interesting and have some worthwhile rewards.

Finally found a PuG team to beat HM Oryx w/ on both my characters. On alt we 4 manned it, both times doing no knight strat. Last round of bombs was intense because we had no floaters so had to get ogres down as much as poss during the slam and then finish them off after.

All my HM drops were junk too lol

What's your GT, uniQ?

Yeah, go on then. I still need to get through a NM raid to the finish.

I've never had a raid helm or boots drop, helms is okay since I have 310 exotics but I don't have any shoes over 300 :/, starting too get annoying.

The rng sucks. All I get is boots and ghosts and normally below the one's I already have lol.

Ok mate, thanks. Hopefully we'll get it beat in one sitting. I'm no expert by any means but I think there's only my mate who hasn't done it all, so not too much explaining to do thankfully. I'm sure we'll be OK between us.

Many thanks for your help last night middgen. Daughters as usual was a little frustrating. Drops I only got a 317 ghost but happy enough as you say it edged me up 1/2 a light level. I personally think this is intentional to keep you coming back for one more try. I did notice one of the team who has completed HM multiple times got a bucket load of stuff. Guess its just rng.

Feel free to drop in anytime mate, was a pleasure to raid with you

I haven't bothered with it much since the levelling system is even more broken than before.
I really have not got any desire to keep grinding an hour long activity to get drops worse than I already have equipped.

An hour? Wow! If Im honest its nice to get drops and Im dissapointed if I dont get much, but by far and large for me its all about having fun with like minded individuals teaming up for an evening playing a game we love :cool:

There's always 3 of coins

This is the biggest problem, I wouldn't mind not getting a drop at a boss if I knew that when ones drop it will be a higher level than what I currently have. The drops seem to be at VoG rate but your lucky if you get anything higher, did up to Oryx on alt warlock and only got harrowed sniper at 311, and harrowed class item at 310
