It's gotten more difficult for the fireteam I normally roll with. Then again, one of our guys is really good as well so if his matchmaking is affecting us at all it's just bumping us up a tier... But I credit that a bit with my playing better as well. Playing against people completely out of my league that used to dominate me, and now I'm getting much closer to a 1 KD.

Fuck me.. Crotas End is difficult, and no win yet. And this was with five lvl31s and me, a lowly bottom feeder 30... Going in blind was a lot of fun.
The Crota battle is really, really tough. Wow... So Knights... Very timing... Much Sword. I need to farm bounties for a couple hours and I should hit 31 which will help a little bit. And get my stupid weapons leveled up. So very grind... |

I just need shards to hit 31 but all I've been getting from anything is energy.

Ok so I'm level 24 now (fk yea). Do I just do lv. 24 strike playlists until I hit 30, then do the raids? I bought the DLC, not sure why, but yeah.

I may or may not grind Iron Banner this time around. I already got a full set of gear upgraded. Vanguard chest, boots and gloves, and the new version of Symbiote helm, all maxed. So I'm already 31 and if I do IB, it will just be for fun with my friends. I plan on spending less time on Destiny this week, period, will probably just be focusing on Eris' daily quests to rank up that rep. I want to finish upgrading my Murmur, but it takes rank 3 to buy the ruined core. I just finally got to rank 2...

I'd say your first goal should be to hit level 28, then you can start doing the VoG effectively instead of needing others to carry you in the latter half. VoG might be "old news" at the moment, but its still a lot of fun and has some worthwhile drops. If you can get some of the VoG elemental primary weapon drops, they can make quick work of elemental shields, especially in the weekly nightfalls and some weekly strikes, since they typically employ a burn effect (e.g. arc burn means all arc weapons do way more damage (including enemy weapons). the VoG armor gives you buffs specific to the raid, so they will be helpful there. If you ever find yourself bored or nothing to really do, you could always start another character, that will double (or triple) your opportunities each week for strange coins, daily heroic rewards, daily public event rewards, etc. EDIT- Crota's End raid helmet will now drop on normal mode per 1.1.0.2 hotfix.

Hey guys, we're looking for 2 people to do the new raid tonight (possibly 3 if we get someone who drops). Anybody want to join us? It's gonna be in the evening. I think maybe around 9pm EST.
We'll see how far we can get into it. We'll be starting from the very beginning. Last edited by Ramster; 12-15-2014 at 03:47 PM. |

@MokSpeed, sorry we wiped at the end. I would have stayed on and run it again but I was supposed to be helping the girlfriend last night wrap Christmas presents. That didn't happen and yep, she wasn't too happy with me. |

After so many hours of grinding my general view is f*** Destiny and yet I still log on to complete the daily sometimes. I did yesterday's daily in 8 minutes on hard mode.

The allure of what Xur might have... The challenge of the raids, (yes, even VoG). The niggling child's tug of bounties needing completion. The joy of running honed loops farming materials and chests. "ooh piece of candy... ooh, piece of candy... ooh, piece of candy... The barely reachable better gear carrot. The utter pleasure of running around killing things as a space ninja, space wizard, or space boxer. So many funs... I hope, I REALLY HOPE they release a future raid for Cabal. That would be one for each race and would be enough for me to feel the game is "complete". I can imagine the final boss is some massive war machine that needs to be systematically taken down. Maybe you fight it from the inside out; three outside, three inside. That would be bananas. |

Managed to pop my level 31 cherry last night after farming some Helium filaments. Why does all the new armor use helium filaments??? Yeah that was fun, my first time attempting it. I'm down to continue later. I want that new sniper.
