Aetheon's Rifle (Void Auto) is far far too powerful when Void Burn is on. Was able to solo the heroic 28 and nightfall with my 28 hunter this morning. Ridiculous!

Wish I could claim skill but that weapon was tearing through the enemy. The non-upgraded Aetheon was hitting for about the same as my fully upgraded Suros, but firing about 3 times faster. Axis Minotaurs with their Void shield were down in seconds.

Ahh good news as I've recently found one! Haven't been able to upgrade or even fire it yet so nightfall here I come. :D
 
Hi Guys, I want to start playing with some more people...anyone got this on the PS4 and up for some gaming? Hopefully around my age 25
 
For any Titans thinking they are going to have a fun time in the Iron Banner because of our extra defense I have bad news, my brother was getting chewed up when I seen him on my lunch there and he has a level 29 Titan. Getting dropped very quickly by guys who were even 26/27.
 
IB is just the same as normal pvp for me, i just use the same weapon i always use (Fusion Rifle), and end up top 3 most of the time. These events have been **** so far, they feel lazy and tact on.

I don't have the luxury of an elemental primary. The good thing is only the vex parts will require void/arc(harpies). The rest will be fire(shanks)/arc. There's also no mention of increased stagger resistance so the last boss could possibly be quite easy to burst down as he staggers with sniper headshots among other things.

I may have to introduce him to Pocket Infinity...

Could someone explain to me:

If the raids at the top level get harder and harder, and you have to have completed the ones previous to really stand a chance, how would one do that when they are time limited?

This is based off my understanding and what I've read online.

Currently there is only one Raid - the vault of glass.

This was designed to be extremely un-intuitive and when destiny play tested it, the groups played for hours and were generally unsuccessful. One group spent like 12 hours, and only got past the templar, another group got to the templar, but only after help, and one group gave up and went and did other things.

The vault of glass is not a time limited event like the Iron Banner or the queen missions. It is hard, and without having some kind of knowledge of what to do first, its very likely that a group who goes in blind with no prep will ultimately fail to complete it

Doing the strikes doesn't really help you. There is nothing you have to do prior to doing the vault of glass, so not sure what you're referring to when you talk about completing the ones previous. There is nothing previous ? ? so not sure what you mean.
 
Just had a message pop up saying servers going down for a bit soon.

I've been playing strikes most of today and just collecting any engrams that've dropped, managed to fill my storage vault before going and trading them in (all blue, no legend). Went up almost 4 levels with the cryptarch and got 3 legendary packages, which mostly turned into strange coins and motes of light......... not 1 weapon/armour.
I really hope Xur has something for me to buy this weekend.

I read (possibly NeoGAF or in a review/saw in a video) that the higher level raids they release will get harder and harder and to stand any chance on these new (DLC?) ones you would have had to prepare by doing and obtaining items from the previous ones.
 
Thats people on the gaf speculating

We don't know whats going to happen once expansion pack 1 comes out. Currently the only way to get from rank 29 to 30 is with the raid armor that drops in the vault of glass. But if the raid in the new pack is say rank 40, and they introduce a new level cap, how will people get to that rank ? There must be a way to get there. Currently raid gear only gets you from rank 29 to rank 30 which isn't a massive difference.

So nobody knows for definite that the only way to complete the new raid is with items dropped from the VOG. Then theres the whole issue of the fact bungie have said that the vault of glass isn't time limited.

So even if you do need to do the vault of glass and get items from it, it will always be there apparently ?

I'd say the issue is closer to: Requiring a drop from a weekly resetting raid to have a chance at entering a higher level raid? That wouldn't go down well. I don't mind it restricting me from attempting the VoG Hard Mode because frankly, we've got no chance, but in 2 weeks not a single person in our party has had a piece of raid armour drop.
 
thing is, only the vault of glass has unique drops

The weekly heroic just drops normal items in circulation on other missions. I had a piece of raid armor drop, but deleted it. It only has one stat (ie no Intelligence AND Strenght, you only get one) and the benefits were one that I've got from my chest armor already - more heavy ammo.

Yes it gives more light, but has attributes i'm not interested in, and doesn't boost my discipline as well as intelligence, why bother ? not like the VOG can't be done without it ....

as for you not getting it, as with everything in this game its completely random. Martin on here seems to get nothing but shards, but on my first VOG run I got Atheon's Epiloge assault rifle & a pair of raid boots.

Oh come on. Why would I (or anyone) make up something like that? I've told you my experience with trying to organise a raid. If you had a different experience and it worked out better for you then that's fine, but please don't accuse me of lying.

You moaned and whined about things that just simply arent as you describe. You could exaggerate for any number of reasons, how should i know why? Point of the matter is, if you'd genuinely been on the bungie fireteam forum and put a message up you'd probably have finished the raid by now ;)
