The daily heroics and weeklies on max difficulty give ascendant materials. It says pre-mission when you select the difficulty what rewards you get.

Just looked at this and no rewards are listed for me no matter what difficulty, or can you only do this one time each day? i did it this morning on what ever the normal difficulty is.
 
I know the post-game is suppose to be challenging, but I have 4 pieces of legendary armor, I'm at level 27, and I'm waiting on roughly 66 pieces of ascendant shard to keep upgrading these armor to advance levels. So maybe I'll be level 30 by Christmas. **** needing 6 shards for every +2 to light that you want to gain. And I don't have 5 friends with PS4 and Destiny to attempt Raids with, so wtf am I suppose to do besides play Destiny 8 hrs/day 7 d/week? :p

you won't hit lvl 30 unless you have 3 RAID armor pieces + 1 exotic, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
 
Not even sure why you need to get higher level if you have no interest in raids. You only really need 28 (and even then only if you're doing the harder strikes)
 
Looks like bungie may be implementing match making for the raids soon, a quick google for bungie says they're discussing adding it.
currently got a 28 titan and 26 warlock but it's taking so long to get shards, I'm just trying to max vanguard marks to buy legendary to break for shards now. Aswell as doing the daily events.

I hope this doesn't lead to them reducing the difficulty. I don't see how the raid is possible without communication.

Yes but this is meant to be accessible to all, like cod or halo not an empire of the exclusive elitists like world of warcraft.

They need to cater for the masses or this will die in a few months.
 
Also, the leaked DLC video that's posted somewhere in here show more raids coming. Maybe they're going to be varying difficulties and therefore varying rewards, meaning the vault of glass may be made easier but then harder ones will replace it. and for hard raids you definitely need people who are willing to listen to a leader and work together.

It is accessible to all, that's what the strikes are for. If they dumb the raid down then it's just another strike.

Honestly, the first 'half' of the raid isn't even hard. Having the option of joining via matchmaking would be nice so you don't miss out on the rewards if you can't get in a team that week.
 
There is nothing you can get from the raid that you can't get elsewhere except what you need to do the harder raid. The first half is easier but still requires communication.

I can see it now, they add matchmaking, 5 randomers will be wandering around ignoring the oracles while the other guy rages. He then rages on the internet with a hundred others in similar situations and they have to make it simpler because People. Are. Stupid.

God it would be hard enough getting 6 strangers through the first door.
 
I don't see how adding match making in is really going to effect anyone, you still have the choice of forming your own premade team so I don't see how an extra choice is really going to hurt.

Because honestly there is little to no difference of adding random strangers from an internet forum to being matched up with randoms through the game, I'd much rather have the choice of match making when ever I want to play rather then have to wait a week for people schedules to line up with no guarantee of them actually being able to complete the raid.
 
Holy crap is the raid tough. I just spent ~4 hours and only got to the bit with the shield, and that was with a team of 6 lvl 26/7, all mic'd up. If anyone's up for a go on it tomorrow evening/night, add me (PS4: Videotrap).
 
I'm not too concerned about adding matchmaking for raids but I would like them to provide different levels (with different loot accordingly) as the raid actually has some new feature and requires tactics unlike the strikes which are just "go here then kill everything" affairs.

I don't mind locking off high level loot to high level players but locking off interesting/unique mechanics to all but those who have 20+ hrs/week free for gaming is a shame. There's no reason the raids couldn't be available from level 20/22/24 rather than needing you to have ground out a near complete set of legendary gear with upgrades. The lower levels wouldn't have to return the unique raid gear but I'd like to try out the actual gameplay.
