    What's the rush? Without a hard mode for the new raid, there isn't much benefit to being level 32.
    I'm holding out for the most suitable gear and enough shards so I don't have to swap energies with eris.

    100% This. Racing to 32 with gear that doesn't suit your play style and spending 20 Wax Idols is not gonna be ideal

    Hi there .just addicted to this game ,but my connection for pvp is terrible .I am always on red bar and net speed is 3.5mb with 50 ping.I have opened ports and set a static ip for my ps4 but no luck,any of you guys have any luck or should i just not bother w pvp

    What's odd os other players complain of the opposite, even during the spate of Monkey errors that lasted a few days last year. Many people could play PvP but weren't even able to do missions or go to the tower

    1 shard away from 32 myself !

    Ran CE 3 times though, so i'll have to wait tomorrow. i'll reach that before Eris L4.

    I'm glad they are fixing the exotic level from VOG drops - I wish they'll do something for Fatebringer, Vision Of Confluence ... and VOG Raid armour ... at the moment everyone reaching 32 or at 32 pretty much looks exactly the same.

    I'm looking to finish off the VoG Normal mode today before the reset tomorrow. I've got a checkpoint at Atheon so really shouldn't take long. Anyone around to have a go? I'll start recruiting on LFG so hit me up if your interested.

    will there be anyone around for a VoG hard mode (or 2) this evening? Really I only want to get Fatebringer, so I only need to complete as far as Templar twice, but would like to get it done before the reset tomorrow. Should be on from 6 if anyone is around; will head to destiny LFG if not.

    But that wasnt your first time doing Vault of Glass was it?

    Its no way, you did an excellent job there

    I read somewhere that the damage reduction for a 28 in CE is 85%. So imagine a 27!

    The main reason for this is (i think) that,, although the raid is a level 30 raid, most of your enemies are level 32, that's 4 levels above yours, and 3 if you were a 29.

    It use to go like this not sure if this applies for CE as well

    1 level = 32% reduced damage
    2 levels = 45% reduced damage
    3 levels = 53% reduced damage
    4 levels = 100% reduced damage

    Wish I'd gotten to do VOG, Bohrio! I had to log off after Crota (damn familial responsibilities). But it was epic to watch it :) Looks like a mouth watering exercise when I'll be able to actually participate/contribute.

    That damage scale is pretty incredible. So I was basically packing this:

    spud_gun_original_shoots_potato_pellets_novelty_item_old_school_image_1.jpg

    As I sat on my behind above the door in Crota, I realised I couldn't even take down a thrall with murmur. Put 2/3 direct hits into one and he ran off laughing at me. :o

    It's interesting to see the game begin to morph into something different again as you approach the high twenties.

    Totally agree with this. I've just hit level 30 with 2 of my characters (almost 31 with my Warlock as I got a CE raid chestpiece). The game becomes more challenging, but also more fun as you hit the 30 mark.

    ps. I was in the Crota fight with some Boards guys recently and I was using a lvl 28 Hunter. I couldn't do any damage to any enemies. Hiding in the corner was the best strategy I had :o. But my characters are much more powerful now. No more cheesing Crota from tomorrow!

    Keep getting discipline on my ce armour, have a hunter so grenades are next to useless.

    Not scraping them, I'll put them on when turning in bounties to level but not spending anything on them.

    Really hope there's an upgrade for the vog weapons.

    Level them until you need to use shards, can still be reasonably useful to use in the raid, especcially the boots.

    got a team together from LFG and finished off the Atheon checkpoint without too much trouble. Will be back looking to do the Raid again with the refresh tomorrow of course. level up my current weapons a bit more before starting to commit to the hard raid

    Thats the way to go.

    You will be surprised how many people try the raid on hard for the first time without even knowing what's going on, wrong weapons etc

    Maxed out weapons and a good understanding of what goes on at each stage it is really important. Best thing to do is do the raid a few times on normal until you become familiar with it.

    First time I played the raid was actually funny, it was like 2-3 weeks after the game was released, I selected vault of glass, and there I was, on my own at the beginning, trying to hold 3 plates by yself... so I left after 10 minutes of running up and down.

    Then I saw a few guys here were trying to run the raid so I jumped in! I had no clue of what was going on, all I remember hearing was, I am coming out with the relic, and then the screen would go red, and I would die. I had no clue or where he was, where I was, had no idea he had been teleported somewhere and what was going on there on the other side.

    So I made sure that I was ready for next time, so I watch a few youtube videos. just to get an idea of what was going on and what the relic was, who was the templar, strategies, roles, etc.

    Then after a week or two I attempted the raid on hard and again, made my homework and already knew what I needed, made sure all my weapons were maxed out and that I knew what my role was.

    That was 2 months ago and since then I must have done the raid over 80 times.

    :)

    Not yet I think they're starting maintenance soon

    Will need to grind glimmer again for Iron Banner, got the Assault rifle last time and the fusion rifle ( nice void) might try for the armour or the hand cannon.

    Will only be able to play the weekend so the boost will help in gaining levels.
