Indeed! Actually spent a load of coins this weekend - Ice Breaker, Helm of Saint-14, Skull of Dire Ahamkara, and a pile of heavy ammo synth - but still got 41 left. Plenty to get me Hard Light whenever Xûr decides to sell it :)
 
Cheers for the help guys

What level do you need to get into Crotas end? I'll happily Sherpa you through for the gear that will get you to 30 before it's uograded. Likewise Vault of Glass.....gf is away later this week so I will be rinsing every raid :)

You need to buy an exotic armour piece from XUR and level it up

All you need is 1 exotic and you can run weeklies, NF and be carried through crota normal mode with 1 fully levelled exotic piece and the rest blue/purple.

Crota drops level 30 armour which levels up to 36, so you don't need to level it up to hit 30 so forget VG armour and jump straight into crota raid armour.

Dude has managed to solo CE normal with only grenades and melee lol. Still can't believe they released such a fundamentally broken co-op raid

To be honest, the CE raid isn't broken, it's just shorter and more accessible for casual than VoG. Making Hardcore players more prone to excel in it.

This dude is seriously impressive and shows the Warlock high five and grenades to be AWESOME!
 
I don't think the game mechanics should allow someone to solo it, let alone without firing a weapon! I wish they would fix the bridge because I quite enjoy doing it properly, probably the best part in terms of co-op play.

The 2-man VoG HM is seriously impressive, and they are properly doing each section.

I agree with the Dr here. If everyone was soloing it, I'd say it's fundamentally broken. But these people are putting in countless hours/days to achieve something extraordinary, and I applaud that. For 99% of the Destiny population, they'll be running the raid as part of a team.

CE also gets a lot of stick for the bridge cheese. No-one forces anyone to cheese the bridge - it can be done properly if you like. It's also no different from people cheesing Oracles and Templar in VoG HM and yet everyone seems to ignore that when fawning over VoG.
 
In the video, he didn't cheese the bridge though... he legitimately crossed it by stepping on and off the centre plate, before sword jumping half way as it de-constructed...

I can run to the bridge on Hard mode with my Hunter but doing the step on and off solo is REALLY hard!
 
Ok soloing CE takes some effort, but anyone can 2-man it, if anything it's easier than taking a full team, which IMO is a sign of a badly designed endgame raid.

I didn't know there were cheeses left in VoG? I've done it all legit the last few times I've done it, even with LFG groups.

I don't think the Bridge is badly designed, in fact I think it's the best part of CE that requires genuine co-op play, I just wish they'd fix the exploit so people did it properly.

I guess they might be referring to how a lot of teams do the oracles from up top and then keep the majority of the team up there for the templar fight too.

I don't really think these are cheeses really but some people might!

Hopefully they will change it so that you need to step on both totems to cancel the annihilator once it's been triggered, stop the mobs despawning from the self-res/tower jump exploit, and erect some kind of wall making it impossible to snipe the ogres from the starting side, much more fun doing it properly!

Then do it properly! Whether they make changes or not, there's nothing stopping you from doing it they way you want to. :p

If I was lord commander of all fireteams, then I would be doing it properly :) You know how it is though, running VoG LFG, getting randoms to do the templar properly instead of cheesing him off the edge....yeah good luck!
