Thoughts and observations on my first Vault of Glass run. First, it was a fucking blast, even though it kept me up way past my bedtime. Second, the inside Gate team has a much easier job than the outside team. The weakest offensive players should be the ones teleporting. There should also be an inside gate team captain who keeps an eye on the timer and makes sure the inside gate team moves back before the teleportation happens. Third, never ever ever open a fucking chest until everyone is there!! Fourth, ideally, we have a crystal clear delineation of responsibilities. For example, I should know going in: Part 1, I’m center plate Part 2a, I’m left side, focus on oracles Part 2b, I’m relic holder Part 3a, I’m inside left gate team Part 3b, I’m center minotaur duty Part 3c, I’m inside teleport team, focus on oracles. If each of us clearly knew our role at each phase and didn’t have to think or worry about what anyone else was doing, it would go much, much smoother. Fifth, for the Oracle part of the Templar battle, we should have three teams of two, left, right, and center. One person’s job is solely to kill ads, the other person helps with ads but focuses on oracles. We kept having issues with people grouped up, not spread out enough. Sixth, I personally think it would be good to have one person as the designated commander, who can issue orders when necessary to help keep the confusion down and respond more quickly to a fluid situation. If we were to do this, I nominate jSyn as a Vault of Glass General. He has an excellent “battlefield” presence and seems to me at least to be a pillar of calm in the middle of the shit storm. Seventh, never ever ever open a fucking chest until everyone is there!!

What can I say, I didn't like its stats or upgrades and I don't really care about reaching level 30. There'll be new/different raid gear eventually.

I'm here to serve

I dismantled it lol

Loot chests are always spawning randomly. The Gold Chests are in fixed locations and stay there until collected. Every character gets their own set of gold chests. You get mission rewards the first time you complete a story mission but never again unless it's a daily heroic. (You didn't use to get rewards for the daily heroic but I thought they patched it, could be wrong on that one though.) You always get stuff for strikes and raids.

I'm 5 shards away from level 28. @Stretch - You absolutely can get good stuff without defeating the final boss and we missed two loot chests to boot. I got a legendary rocket launcher, leg armor, and a whole mess of shards.

That's the spirit Gary. Everyone feel free to make your own events, I put all that stuff in there as a demonstration and to get the ball rolling.

That sucks man. Well, good try tonight guys, at least we know what to do. We just need a bit more firepower.

Nice Jason

Looking at it the other video, it seems like Nova Bomb would be better for nuking the supplicants outside the gate.

I'm the only one with an offensive Void super, but I don't know if that makes be better suited to outside or inside gate duty.

Who wants to be a Relic holder? I'm thinking Tommy and either Trevor or Jay since we probably don't need two Defenders and Tommy's super won't be as effective as the others for this. The other Defender would definitely be good for guarding the plates outside the Gate.

Tommy will be a defender and Matt and Chris will be Hunters then.

Let's get something sorted for this weekend then, I can play either Sat or Sun almost any time except early morning (EST).

Unless someone has a better plan, I say we follow that dude's strategy. At least we know if done right, it will work.

Nice, I think this would help us get more out of the game, but everyone has to hop on board.

Alright you sorry gaggle of turds, we ain't doin' this if our shit isn't wire tight. First of all, what's your class and level, post it right fucking now. Then we'll form teams. We will get this sorted before anyone heads into orbit, because I'm not staying up until 2:00am while we scramble around like blind mice in a burning building. //tough love <3

I set it so that it shows times local to the user. I deliberately put that Saturday VoG there for the UK folks, just to kick start discussion.

Well then sign up for it dammit!

R u kidding? O,o

Not off to a very good start here... So no one is playing Vault of Glass Tonight?

I've never heard of it, will check it out

OK, we can change this as we go, but here's what I propose. First and most importantly, if this is going to have any chance of working, we all need to use it!! Second, there is no account or sign in necessary to use the calendar, you just need the link I will provide below. How the calendar should be used: There are currently two "calendars", they are PS4 Destiny #1 and PS4 Destiny #2. If we were to expand to other games and/or systems, I would add the necessary calendars. The #2 calendar is only for situations where two different events overlap, otherwise, just use calendar #1. If there is something already on the calendar that you want to be a part of, do the following: Open the event and adjust the time if necessary. You can push back a start time, or pull in the end time. In other words, as long as your times fit inside the times already there, you're good, adjust them accordingly. Add your name to the comment section, perhaps your class and level too if you want. In the title, add one to the number on the left. So if you're the second person to join a three person event, you should change the title from 1/3 to 2/3. When something is 3/3 or 6/6, everyone else will know that the event is full. If you would like to add a new event: Use calendar #1 unless it is going to overlap an existing event, in which case, use calendar #2. In the title, put the type of event and either 1/3 or 1/6. Make the time window as wide as possible so your odds of linking up with someone are better. In the comments, put your name and any other info you think helpful. Wait for other people to join your event! If there is an event already on the calendar, but you would like to change something about it, either moving the time outside the current window or changing the nature of the event itself. Simply write your proposal in the comments and stick a '?' in the title. You can also ask right here in this very thread. Thoughts? The link to the calendar: http://teamup.com/kse6fce9a0e7554ef4/

Definitely faster, things seem pretty good atm.
