Had a pretty miserable afternoon on hard VoG with Youngsy this arvo. The randoms made it very hard, still fun, but ultimately frustrating. Got the Templar checkpoint to complete and would like to finish CE from the deathsinger if any kind people want to help out tonight.
This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwbjOOAT5cE seems to be the most efficient exclusion zone technique, although I've yet to try it.

I still need to do the Deathsinger onward with my 32 Hunter. I'll be home from around 8pm but I may not be online until around 9pm. If you're still looking for help, give me a shout.
That works for me. If you don't mind helping with the Templar (not too fussed about completing, more interested in Fatebringer and I can go and get the chests later) it would be much appreciated. Happy to do/try Crota 1st and go from there. I assume Youngsy will want to do Templar as well.

Can then do Templar to see if I can finally get Fatebringer.
Likely to be 9.30pm onwards before I can start raiding again though.
Touch wood and all that but it seems RNGesus is smiling on my alt Hunter character at the moment. Managed to bag a legendary machine gun "Against All Odds" from a blue engram drop yesterday and then today a purple engram decoded to "Truth", the exotic rocket launcher today! Pretty darn chuffed with that I have to say. Decent leg. pulse rifle from upgrading the bounty guy too, plus an exotic helmet from the Xur engram last week
Perhaps it's because I've not used the character for ages whilst levelling my Titan or something
Little things like this really pique my interest in the game again I have to say even if it is just running bounties and doing the daily heroic missions whilst trying to get to level 31 (on both chars)

Finally managed to beat HM Crota tonight. Did it again with alts afterwards, really good runs. Got the Fang of Ir Yut twice, I'm not annoyed as VoC was my favourite gun so this will replace them. Then ran all but Crota on my Hunter Alt before the reset. Hoping to get it to at least 31 during this week so that it can run HM.
Now I've got the scout rifle there's nothing else I really want from Crota HM, and only the remaining armour and Black Hammer/Crotahorn from Normal. But still. Maybe it is time I gave the game a bit of a rest. Maybe.
Also a little update on my £/hr thing I had going. Game and DLC (£42 total) I have paid a whopping 9p an hour. Even adding the price of 5 months PS+ makes it 12p, and going really far and saying I'd bought a PS4 purely for this game, it's still only 76p an hour.
Outstanding value.

Arse - another DLC daily heroic! OK Bungie, you've broken me as I'm fed up with this. It's time to buy the DLC after all (and I'll get the next one too on release this time)
Perhaps I'll get into the raiding side of things as a result, but then again perhaps not since I've never done VoG (apart from a short lived suicide mission
)
As Digitalize said previously, it's not bad value for money at all really when you "run the numbers"

Bounties - there are often "Target" bounties (2 today for example) where you have to take an enemy out with the heroic modifier on. Is there a way to run the mission from the planet in question and switch the modifier on yourself i.e. not having to rely on doing it as part of a daily or weekly heroic? I can't say that I've seen the option to do so, but wanted to ask the folks here with many more hours experience in the game than I have.

See if you can pick up the limited edition on Amazon or at Asda for 40 quid then sell your current version on ebay or trade it in at CEX.Perhaps I'll get into the raiding side of things as a result, but then again perhaps not since I've never done VoG (apart from a short lived suicide mission

Works out cheaper than the dlc, you get some nice extras and best of all you don't buy the dlc as a standalone, so it doesn't encourage Bungee to pull that sort of crap again.

When you select the mission before you launch if you hover over the mission name, you can select it and change the difficulty adding modifiers.Jme1990 said:

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try later - I've seen that you can change the difficulty but didn't know you could add modifiers to it. You (I) learn something new everyday!Edit - I see, changing the difficulty up adds the Heroic modifier automatically. Man, I've missed out on a lot of bounties, doh!

I tried this out of curiosity last week....it is not as easy as it looks! I think I only managed to kill them all once. It also isn't as efficient as it looks in the video as you have to waste time initially killing all the reds from the first drop ship when the door opens(they are spread too far apart to kill them with one rocket so, you're relying on heavy ammo drops for this bit). You also need to make sure you don't inadvertently kill the rocket guy and his 2 buddies as you'll lose the checkpoint having already killed the reds.Even on my successful attempt, the whole process from door opening to wiping took just as long as the way I normally do it, if not longer!
Have yet to try it. 2 man team, 1 supers the top, the other supers the bottom. Hey presto 10,000 glimmer per minute(maybe).
If I hear Dinklebot's "I guess that was their failsafe" 1 more time, I'll cry.
The checkpoint will reset on Tuesday.
