My first raid as well, I had no idea what the feck I was doing, so I went to bed and read the VoG Wiki and it all started to make sense, shame we ran out of time.

I got a few materials, yet another secondary Legendary and then snagged a set of Leggy Gauntlets, I was hoping to hit level 27 but the light was the same level as my old Gauntlets frown

I'm going back tonight to kick the crap out of my Xbox, it was being grumpy as hell, I thought Phil said to leave the party and re-join, but I couldn't re-join and then when I looked at the list of players in the chat 4 of them were muted, but I couldn't unmute them?!

I'll pull the plug on the box tonight and give it a proper reboot and update the controller as I've only ever done it once and that was a few weeks after I got it (it's a day one console) and see how things are working afterwards.

I also run my box off a wireless network (N), might see if I can find a way to hardwire it or at least use a powerline adaptor.

So to level them I just need to kill a load of st or do I need something else? I can't seem to find an answer on wiki.

Fastest way is bounties. Just equip them when you turn the bounties in and they'll level up pretty fast.

The upgrade path will tell you what you need materials wise.

if we manage to down crota, my mate who is 27 has never done the VOG and is chomping at the bit to do it.

If you see me on with Goatface E3 then feel free to join us or invite.

My advice, as a level 26 noob, get your mate to read the VoG wiki to understand what to do, I went in blind last night and didn't have a clue wtf was going on! laugh

Oh, and make sure he has a headset smile

LOL..yeah if you had a headset you would have known exactly what to do!!.

Saying that though i thought we did pretty well, with 2 people off comms, and 2 noobs.

The only part where it all seemed to break down... was when i got slapped by a minotaur during the Templar fight while i had the relic... then Coinslot picked the relic up and started running round like a headless chicken..then stopped and sat down smile

All good fun though.

Need to check if I have legenday gauntlets that are better than my boots, and if so I may buy the boots.
Or, could have a roll on a helmet engram.

Piss poor Xur this week. Doesn't have the upgrade I need either.

Looks like I'm going to have to spam the cryptarch with exotic helm engrams!

did you guys manage to finish off Crota on hard last night? I've just watched a video of a team doing it in about 5 minutes, before Ogres.

They sit on the middle ledge, in front of the spawn room. Boomers don't shoot you from either side there. Then the sword bearer and a titan go to Crota, the Titan puts down the shield that pops two orbs out, this serves a dual purpose of protecting them from one side of boomers and the orbs mean the sword bearer can generate a super whilst holding the sword. The timing was brilliant, they dropped crota three times for each sword.

I'll be back on tonight for another crack.

I know others might disagree but I always run an exotic helmet. In the VOG and CE the raid helmet is always the hardest piece to get so needing one could hold you back.

I much preferred the Titan chest piece (two grenades!) but the reality was that it was holding me back from reaching 32, that'll also mean you'll actually have something useful to spend motes on. My advice would be to keep buying them until you get one for your class.

I only got 1 drop for doing the nightfall this week, but it was this titan helmet!! Looks awesome too, I could be the third member of daft punk now!!

Glad I did the nightfall Thursday after hard raid was released, would have probably just got shards again if I had done it on Tuesday!! smile
