I should be on by 15:00, hopefully there'll be enough people on.
Would be good to get the bosses done this afternoon, then happy to help with people's maiden voyage into the VoG this evening.

[quote]29 Titan with icebreaker and truth
30 warlock

At Crota CP and have never finished him. Rest of fire team bailed for night (they have all completed) we really want to finish him before reset tomorrow. So please need 4 to help basic noobs finish Crota. Both have much so will take guidance. Thanks

Summoning Pits with Arc burn apparently for the Nightfall/Weekly this week. Lightswitch (boo!), Angry and Epic as per usual.

The weekly also has Arc-burn! smile

Sorry chaps, could only jump on for about 20 minutes last night and didn't even get to run the exotic chest for my other 2 characters. frown

New Nightfall/weekly sounds interesting - the hardest bit is the witches, who have solar shields, so a fireteam with arc and solar HMGs will be the best bet.

When are people looking to do the Crota Raid I desperately need level 32 armour pieces for all 3 of my characters, so that is my priority this week! shoot

Most of my mates I did VOG with have flaked away so it looks like I need some new raiding companions, i'm not on as often as i'd like but my titan is 31, warlock will be 31 when I level up my new hat too. TubbyRutter is my PSN tag.

Did you cave in and buy the DLC after all then?

I have to say since acquiring Icebreaker and a couple of other legendary items, my interest in Destiny (albeit without the DLC) has gone up again as I enjoy, if that's the right word, the slog of now upgrading my new weapons

Had another go at soloing the weekly strike and died at the same point as before. This was now at level 27 with the better weapons on a level 24 strike, frustrating and I clearly need more practice (or indeed some support smile ) Those darn captains with blue shields were a PITA however it was the "Lightswitch" modifier that got me in the end - tried to duke it out with captain when he got too close but didn't realise that it was one punch and you're outta there mate biggrin

In other news, I finally got a purple engram drop. First one ever. Any what did the cryptarch give me for this prized possession? 2 x ascendant energy - bugger

Kind of - there was an offer on for the Limited Edition of Destiny for £40 and this includes the first two DLCs, so after selling my standard edition for £20 on ebay, the first two DLCs cost me around £10 each.

Plus it meant that I didn't buy the DLC specifically, I bought an upgraded Day 1 version of the game that included it, so it satisfied my need not to encourage outrageous Bungie's DLC policy!

As for the weekly/Nightfalls - they are much easier as part of a team.

Re Crota raid I'm waiting till Wednesday for hard raid to drop as double rewards hopefully like hard VOG.

I don't want to mess my chances up by doing easy version first.

I hope to get on for weekly duties later around 8pm need to do x2

I like your confidence, Shane! smile

I expect the hard raid will be very difficult to beat for a few weeks until people get to level 32 and learn the new mechanics.

Those bits that are likely to be achievable this week (the bits without a boss to kill) won't have double rewards if it's anything like VoG. In VoG hardmode you only get the double rewards for beating the Templar, Gatekeepers and Atheon.

Just breezed through the nightfall twice with a full team, took less time than expected. 2 legendary guns and an exotic armour between us which seems rather generous.

I'm not hard mode ready yet, so I'd be up for normal CE this afternoon/evening.

What's the etiquette here for joining other folks whilst in the game? Would people mind if I just add myself to your fireteam if I see you online, or would you prefer to be contacted via message first?

I don't want to a) join if not wanted or b) would be a burden because you are playing at level 30 odd or something - but I'd quite like to have a crack at some strikes, etc with other folks because I can't seem to do them solo frown

If I am running a mission solo or a strike without a full fireteam, I am more than happy for people to join me. If I am doing something specific which requires I run solo, I usually set my fireteam to invite only.

The only exception is if I'm in one of the raids without a full team - we are usually waiting for someone to join. More often than not, I'll have a PSN party active so, just pop in and see what I'm up to smile

Same goes if you need to do something specific and need some help, all you need to do is ask smile

I think the general etiquette is just to jump in, say hello and ask if it's ok to join.

If people don't want others jumping in, they can set their fireteam to "closed" or ask them to leave (if the person is waiting for friends to join, for example) once they're in.

Alas, I'll probably not be on tonight frown. I'll definitely be on tomorrow to do these though, so if anybody is in the same boat, give me a shout. smile

Then it will be time to try Hard Crota. We may not crack it, but we have 5/6 level 32s and so should get a decent way through. If not, I'm happy to complete the normal raid and I am sure they'll be happening over the next few days anyway.

In an effort to cheer myself up as I'm missing out tonight, and as a shameless brag (smile), I'll share the fact that I've just had the best 7/8 days in terms of drops and purchases ever, for weapons. Leaving out the armour drops, I've managed to bag and buy:-

Black Hammer
Found Verdict
Hawkmoon
LDR 5001
Song of Ir Yut (my 2nd)
Light of the Abyss (my 2nd again)
Venation III (is this even available to purchase at Dead Orbit?!)
Secret Handshake
Icebreaker x3 (hehe)
The Last Word (my 2nd)
Got my Gjallahorn to 331 (it's like a new weapon to me!)
Bad Ju-Ju Bounty (partially completed)
Badger CCL

...and to cap it all over, last night it finally happened.

I have Fatebringer party

My favourite is Hawkmoon but Fatebringer is a very close second. smile It is going to take weeks to level that lot up. hehe

Quite biggrin

It is brilliant especially as it doesn't take up an exotic slot. I wonder whether the new raid hand cannon (Word of Crota?!) will be as good. Here's hoping. smile
