best weapon for raid?
I got suros fully upgraded
shadow price: upgraded to poit of shards
aetheons epiloiuge: balrey touched
If I go with a legendary I can use time and patience (ARC)
if suros I got 77 wizard or final boss (solar for both)
also just relized I cant use my marks from the titan to buy legendary gear for my hunter from the vangaurd.
well that sucks

My personal issue with that argument is Destinys implementation of RNGesus...
There is no control for if the best player got the best stuff or if it was the player that was being carried.

Can I just put in that Raiding with Gafers is great. Wednesday night, and everyone on the fireteam already had the nightfall glow. Out and about doing strikes and bounties, and maybe one in three 29's have it by the weekend.

My friend got suros for doing the nightfall, I got 7 shards, and my other friend got a legendary armor piece. The 7 shards was nice
Yep that is the fatal flaw for picking a Faction w/o ranking up Vanguard first
GAF,
My friends and I are looking to run the raid for the first time tonight on normal. There are three of us 2 x lvl 28 hunters and a 28 titan. We need the help of three more guardians to complete this. If you want to join it will probably be around 7 PM EST. Just add me as a PSN friend and I will message you.

I just accepted and turned in the Relic Harvest, Exalted Hive and Earth Patrol bounties today after the reset and now when I checked at the bounty board a couple of hours later it seems I can do all three of them again. I don't remember this happening before, some kind of glitch?

Not rewarding the best players in Crucible is one of the worst game design decision I've seen in any FPS in such a long time. It just baffles me. Should've at least granted more rep bonus at the very least

Warlock glide is nice but you need to level it up. The sunsinger one with boost and control is amazing

Man after going through the raid last night and getting no raid armor, I feel like i've hit a wall. My group of friends run the raid twice a week (have 7 ppl in our group) for the past 3 weeks and I'm the only one that has not seen raid armor. Now they're talking about doing Hard Modes and I guess I'll have to sit out now 
Is it possible to carry a 28 into hard mode (if everyone else is a 29)? If not anyone have a hard mode atheon checkpoint? Would like to try to cheese hard mode for a piece of raid gear so I can do it legit with my friends

I hear you.
For me, As long as it's in the game I dont personally have a problem doing anything that the game allows you to do. This is a video game designed for my enjoyment IMO, not a competitive activity with real world implications for who wins.

What? Warlock glide makes that shit beyond easy... I'm always the first person on the top ledge on the other side.

Yup, I see you on also. I'll hit you guy up next time we need someone for a raid.
On another note...
My girl is at her maximum capacity with me and this game. We've fought like 10 times over the past few weeks over this. I know I just need to pull back a little, try to go to bed at the same time as her. But I keep playing way too late and too long. I wasn't eating dinner, coming home from work and heading straight into my office to play till 1am. So I gotta pull back. Two nights ago I told her "5 more minutes" and the second nightfall was taking longer than intended... she came storming out of the bedroom, calling me a fucking liar and threw my pillows on the floor and shut the bedroom door.
The couch was mine that night.
At the bare minimum I want to run the nightfall 3 times a week and the weekly heroic on 28 at least twice for the coins. Don't even mention leveling up all this gear I have. Thats never gonna happen.

I have to make it brief, since I'm at work as well but alot of our concerns with lack of story development, repetitiveness, net code, balance, lack of NPC life in the open world, pre launch perception vs post launch perception was all brought up to Deej with no sugar coat.
Deej didn't offer anything other than the standard "We hear you, so keep talking" but something that stood out to me was he said "We want you to call us out on our bullshit". That's commendable.
I also got the impression that they're doing somethings different going forward. He kept mentioning about how they are a different Bungie post launch and have learned a few things about Destiny, thanks to us.
I hope you're right, I want to believe.
In a way, that's part of the struggle though. Think about it the other way.
Figadapaura has a kick-butt raid team. They fight there way through, week after week, and then bam, finally, Vex Mythoclast AND the raid helm drops. Victory!
Then the following weeks everyone just trades checkpoints, uses alts, cheeses Atheon, and suddenly all sorts of idiots have Vexes and raid helms. It's maddening.
I'll tell you right now, get touching it, a atheons prologue fully maxed out can take out 3 oracles in one clip and it murders the praetorians (minotaurs) void shield very quickly to make them more manageable.

Idk, I use a maxed out AE yesterday and I definitetly noticed the damage and stability nerfs to it. I've switched over to using The Devil You Know for raiding now (this is on normal btw).

If you have an exotic piece of armor you can upgrade all armor even your legendary normal and get to 29. I hit 29 with an exotic chest and normal legendary gear. I think I had one upgrade slot left on my gauntlets too.
Might be a waste of shards but seeing as you haven't gotten raid gear you are probably swimming in shards like I was...

I feel like it takes too much xp to get your weapons up to a decent level. I hardly switch out because it takes forever to level my backups.

Yeah I've considered this, though if my math is correct, I need another 42 shards and I don't have that many atm either...

OK, here's the video of the method I mentioned earlier to get Atheon in the sweet spot for a push every time 100%. I know some have struggled with kiting him around so this helps negate that hassle and keeps the portal crew from name-calling and general abuse directed at the real hero - the Warlock.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJZJBSXsTdA
Method in video description. Any questions just ask, it should be straightforward enough, though.
Worth a look just to see how crap I was at doing the easy part - the push, lol. The shame
I'm more impressed that your portal team cleared it with so many 28's.
So I finally got a chance at the "new and improved" Crucible. Still broken, just in a different way. Instead of an orgy of ARs, FRs and shotgun sliding, it's now an orgy of HCs, FRs and shotgun sliding.
HCs should not be better at killing than a freaking heavy machine gun. The damn weapon class has gone to the other extreme now.
Scout rifles actually feel about right. Two-three-four shots to kill depending on where you're hit (haven't used em in Crucible but not felt cheated being killed by one). HCs though.....two shots anywhere is currently a kill. Shit is still broke.
Far more hunters than before in Crucible too. I can see the way it's going. Guess I'll have to get Call of Duty after all for my balanced PvP fix.
EDIT: I've only just noticed the OT title is botched. Oh Dax...

Okay, first impression wasn't good, coming off Titan and Hunter I kept dying doing basic jumps because you just fall if gravity starts happening.
I was trying to get a chest on earth that was just like the section with the bump that knocks you off the thin ledge, kept failing lol.
Bungie could fix the Atheon falling and checkpoint exploitation, then remove Vex from everyone and guarantee the same weapon (without nerf) as extra loot for those already having that for doing hard Raid one more time legitly. I think everyone would or at least should be happy with this solution as its just fair and square. With this procedure, the mighty Vex gets its glory back as badass weapon of badass guardians.
Yeah, we've all been there. I say you give her a romantic weekend and that will buy you a good week's worth of gaming lol. That is the strategy I use. The game is killing people that get easily addicted to positive feedback loops.
Grats, awesome pair of loots from Atheon.
Grab some telemetries from Xur, it'll help.Floating Divider said:

Asking for a free cheese while remote playing at work was probably too much cheese for one serving, I guess. Haha!

Were these both Atheon drops in one run?
LollipoPReapeR

Ok fair enough, that is a bit annoying, but as long as you time it right, it's pretty easy.
Vanilla Ice Ice Breaker, Too Cold! Too Cold!
If it was PvE only and the Vex was a guaranteed drop on the next clear if you cleared it again and owned it prior? Maybe.
Overall is 2.16
Play nothing but Control, queue solo - and will drop a massive excuse and say if I had a Suros Regime for the last few weeks it would easily be over 3.0

Hey guys I deleted a bunch of people on my PSN that either stopped playing Destiny, or never played Destiny at all ( why put your name in a destiny thread and then never play lol ). Anyways my list is now kinda low so I wanna repopulate it with new GAF friends ( that actively play ).

Someone from our team is willing to leave so a Warlock can join and help us kill Atheon.
Is anybody interested?

Ok, now I'm convinced the net code is just more broken than I thought it was. I tried using a half leveled The Last Word in Crucible post patch and it was taking like four shots to put anyone down. Usually it wouldn't put them down at all.

Nothing that I inherently noticed, felt, or wasn't simply able to counter. I wish I could give you something more concrete than that, though. I had forgotten completely about stability being changed and was laser-focused solely on the damage.
Yup. Got a ship too.

I got this last night. Anyone using it? Love or Hate it?
Rate of fire seams nice.
Rate of fire seams nice.
The "woke the hive" mission is a quick way to farm XP for weapons and armor. That's usually what I do to level weapons once I've done my daily bounty missions. Just kill most of the enemies that come from the door and leave the knight and let him kill you, just keep doing that and you rack up XP quick.
