So, I bought this at launch - played (and very much enjoyed it) for a few days but then managed to find myself not picking it up again due to a variety of reasons.

At the weekend I had an hour spare and thought I'd revisit and once again enjoyed it with much of the design and gameplay appealing to me and my historic gaming. However, bearing in mind that 6 months or so have passed since launch I'm wondering if its worth investing any significant time in the game as "everyone" else has been levelling up etc and I'm left behind.

I have been reading pages on this thread and a lot of it is foreign right now - any of you regular players fancy giving me some encouraging words / advice? Should I jump in?

Deffo - it's easier than ever to level up, if you have never done the Vault of Glass then you are in for a treat, it's one of the best multiplayer missions ever created. Will quite happily run through that again and again.

Go back to around pages 70-80 there is a full list of gamer tags, add us and join the fun.

My hunter I started is not on level 8 but I could do with a little help getting her up to 20

Yes! Its quieter at the moment as quite a few people are in a holding pattern waiting for the next DLC...BUT its still an awesome game and people are still playing. Best advice is to make sure everyone here and in the table is in your friends list and hop into peoples fire teams and game chats. See simos post above as an example of how you can get high levelled pretty quickly. There should still be Crota and VoG raid runs through the next few weeks.

Bounties and the kill the target patrols work a treat.

Don't do heroic story missions unless you're above that level. It's tempting for the extra xp but they'll take a lot longer. Go back and do the shorter ones for an xp boost later if needed.

Go for it. It's a fantastic game. I've still got a third character to level up, so would be happy to assist you when you get to the point of being able to do strikes, etc. And I'm more than happy running SCrota or VoG or the daily/weekly strikes when they become available. Add me: NewNameNeeded

Nightfall is Phogarth with Arc

Weekly is Phogarth with Arc

I'm on at 8 so hoping to do both nightfalls in the hour.

I am doing bounties and story missions but will be asking for help just to level up quicker

Aaaah, the summoning pits with Fatebringer and Murmur in Arc setting.
How perfectly charming.

I very much want to get on tonight and deploy my Titan bubble with added "confuse the enemy when they run into it" ability...


(where does one hide these days in the summoning pits?

Shrieker room/room just before. Hiding behind the rock is out, as Knight cannons do arc and splash will kill you.

The old ways are the best hey. Sniping rifles and watch out for the shrieker respawning (save a bubble for the purple orbs of death?).

I'll be on tonight for the usual but I gave into temptation and 'pre downloaded' Borderlands HC on the weekend. Couldn't resist it after booting up the 360 to see how you transfer the game saves.

Be back for House of Wolves though.

Anybody fancy a flawless attempt on Crota?? Or helping me get through it those of you that did it already?

Ahhhh patience and time...

[Mr E]

I fancy a flawed attempt at Crota...

Wow, you'd think that after all the times I helped out on VOG Attempts and CROTA attempts so you guys could level up your extras characters when I had my one lonely Titan, some gratitude would come back my way!!

I dunno

Your lonely titan can join my lonely titan, and together we can punch thralls in the face until we're both dead...
