Stretch616 697 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 We'll use this thread to organise time, availability and raid tactics. First raid is live next week which has an entry level of 26. We'll need 2 x full fireteams to participate. I'll post thoughts later on what kind of team makeup i think we'd need BO7H B4RRELS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,447 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Crap! I need to start leveling up quick! I'm a shade under 14 right now. What's the best way to level up fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_C_Scipio 395 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I've heard Crucible bounties are a good way, if you can get the ones that are complete x game mode five times. Pays out 5k I think. Bounties in general seem to pay out a good chunk of XP. BO7H B4RRELS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,447 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Cool. I've been doing bounties, so I'll stick w/ that then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch616 697 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Edited original post, but level requirement is actually 26! So i don't any of us will be ready at release, but hopefully sometime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinOwl 644 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm still not clear on how to jack my level above 20. The game said equip armor with "light" in it. Umm okay... Guess I need to research that. If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno 3,476 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Do you have to join a faction at level 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinOwl 644 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You're in the Vanguard faction until or unless you specifically change to one of the other ones. I have no idea what the benefits are. They offer unique Legendary gear maybe? If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate.

Stretch616 697 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 When you run the higher level strikes, missions etc.. you'll get better gear. Specifically on the armour you'll see a "light" statistic on it. When you equip this, it increases you level beyond 20. As i remember, an overall light statistic of 20 will get you to "level 21". Then it's just a case of increasing your light stat based on your loot drops. Obviously higher level raids are more likely to drop higher light level gear. I hope that made sense!! Also the Owl is right on the faction front. The only difference i've seen so far is down to what legendary gear is available. I guess it's to make you work for a full set of gear that affects a certain stat criteria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_C_Scipio 395 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Bungie posted the stats for the first team to beat the raid. They had 5,733 kills and died 1,604 times. THEY DIED ONE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED TIMES. A couple of fun facts to consider: 1. There's a trophy for completing the raid with no one in your fireteam dying. Keep in mind these guys died SIXTEEN HUNDRED times. 2. This was on "normal". The raid also has a hard mode.

JsinOwl 644 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I like a developer that's unafraid of kicking their players' asses.

Stretch616 697 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah i heard there were some crazy death stats on that trial. I'm really hoping we can put together a team that will perservere through this kind of adversity. Will make finally doing the trial all the sweeter!

JsinOwl 644 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm down for sure and I'm online a lot. I relish difficulty. /The time difference between us and the UK is a serious buzzkill.

Baabcat 1,642 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'd love to do a Raid but its getting the time and opportunity (and level 26). Are they on every week does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch616 697 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Raid's should be (afaik) a permanent addition to the game. Any other MMO out there has multiple raids of varying difficulties and level ranges. In fact with the vast promises Bungie has made i would be surprised if we didn't get another raid next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baabcat 1,642 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Will this be up for a month? might be able to have a crack at it next weekend if I can level up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch616 697 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 At least Bob. Wheb you enter your fireteam you have a week to complete. I just can't see them removing any PvE content at any point, it doesn't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_C_Scipio 395 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 They've stated multiple times that the raid is not a limited time event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinOwl 644 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well based on how long I've been stuck at level 21, I don't see myself getting to 26 anytime soon.

L_C_Scipio 395 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 A group beat the raid in 37 minutes. A lot of people on the Bungie forums are saying that once you know what's going on you can do it in 1 to 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinOwl 644 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm at level 26 now and ready to have a go at this. Haven't read or watched anything about the raid though. I want to be surprised by what it throws at me. If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate.

Horrible_Hector 165 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm at level 26 now and ready to have a go at this. Haven't read or watched anything about the raid though. I want to be surprised by what it throws at me. In all honesty, I've watched a lot of the raid, and done a lot of research.. I'd wait until level 28 maybe 27.
