Destiny!

The biggest issue with what they did is they made VoG worthless. Everything in the Vault of Glass including the Mythoclast are weaker than even Tower gear now. Normally, I'd tally that up to progression and needing to keep things moving, but there just isn't enough content in this game for that. No, instead they could've gone about things much better.

I mean, making a new material that drops only from Hard Mode VoG, making the second set of VoG gear finally drop, putting it's Light to 33, and making the last upgrade on Tower gear increase light by 3, would've fixed it all. VoG gear would've been just under Crota, still useful, and requiring less materials as to make it special still. The gear in the tower could still reach this point, making it all useful and powerful gear. Repeat this same thing but for weapons, making VoG weapons under Tower weapons but with static perks to make up for it. It would've made content last longer and overall increased the game's play value. Instead... it just feels like VoG is pointless now. : /

finaly hit 29 , just need some ascendent shards and a crap ton glimmer and i can be 31 by wed. but i have noticed a big increase in capabilities just from 27-29 lol

If you want easy Glimmer. Go to the 1st Mars Mission and spawn the 1st round of Cabals, don't kill the 1st drop ship ones, go for the 2nd drop ship. 10 Armored types appear from the 2nd if you heroic and you can use resupply codes for them, make easy cash. Can make 8-10k in 30 mins just by dying to the 1st drop ship group to repeat.

Got to Crota yesterday but we couldn't manage to take him out. Each time we'd get him to about 50% and then the sword holder would die. The main problem was him not being ready to damage Crota when we dropped his shield. People were supposed to wait for him to get into place before damaging Crota but sometimes that didn't happen... Gjallarhorns drop his shield a lot faster than I think people realized lol. Going to hopefully try again tonight. I burned through almost all of my heavy synth packs though, so I'm going to have to farm some more first.

The other issue we ran into was everyone's mic was lagging so it was hard to communicate... I'm really hoping I can find a group to try again tonight with, I'd like to get it done before it resets..

I have had this game a few weeks and it's interesting. No expansion yet.... I'm not having much luck finding people to play with as I am a lot more casual these days...
However if people wanna add me my xbl tag is easydread lvl 27 hunter.

Since I am new ish to the game my only gripe with it is gear obtainment now since they changed the t1 stuff for t2. They should have kept both sets available so one set didn't need commendation....

There is a little rock form the sword can hide at from both sides near Crota, you need a 31 or you're wasting your time. Get everyone to stick primary weapon fire on Crota so Sword can get there in time, use Ice Breakers for the 2nd round, pull out Gjallarhorn if he is going to move.

Crota moves to Right after 1 min 30 seconds, then after 1 minute he moves back. He goes to left in another 1 minute and that's Ogre spawn time when Swordbearer goes, Ogres only pop if Crota has gone right then left.

His rage timer is 10 mins, warning is 9 mins. Here's a tip for sword user. When the sword user is going to escape, turn around and jump in the air. Swing your sword to get away from him asap. I have defeated this guy 4x now, and I wielded the sword.

Edit: Also the timer starts when the barriers drop, not when he pops.

I'm gonna be getting this for christmas, but from what im getting its gonna be harder to level up now? (and dang if you played on PS3 i would add you, would be nice to learn the ropes with someone)

I've got to 27 so far doing everything solo. The issue is once you get around 25 you seem to hit a peak and until your rank 3 with a faction it's a ***grind. I'm now lvl 3 with crucible and got my hands on legendary gear....
But you need to be savvy with your purchases because you can get gear which exceeds the old light max as they have an ! On its icon. So its pretty pointless getting old legendary and lvling it.

I thought the new gear only popped up if you had the expansion? i prob wont be getting the expansion till jan :/

Raid gear won't pop up but a subset of gear does which when max allows you to reach 31.

Yay got my Husk of the pit, now I'm safe to claim Necrochasm.
