My legendary absence of luck turned into a real "loot orgy" yesterday. :D

I got many cool things in the Raid: Ascendent Shards, the Found Verdict shotgun (that one is really cool), the Plan C fusion rifle (:eek:) and another Cuirass of the Hezen Lords chest armor (with much more intellect than the one I already have, so now I will make a "VoidWalker" special build).

Then after patrols and the Weekly Epic Strike, I got a few engrams (2 legendary armor engrams) and 2 other legendary weapon engrams as I ranked up with the Cryptarch.
All this gave: legendary boots for my future Hunter, legendary gauntlets and boots for my Titan (currently level 16), the Zombie Apocalypse WF47 heavy machine gun (from the New Monarchy) and the Exodus Plan RS/1 rocket launcher (from the Dead Orbit).

After almost 2 months getting nothing but the items I purchased by myself, I now have almost too many items to upgrade. :D

Next step: get boots and gauntlets from the Raid...
 
I have all perks ready to be upgraded on everything I have that isnt already fully upgraded, I'm just missing the shards/energy -.- its going to be a long wait. I need about 30+shards and 18 more energy to max out the gloves, armor, scout rifle, and fusion rifle. The armor upgrade should throw me right into 29, coming from 96% of 27

I've managed to pick up quite a few legendary peices for a Titan recently, which is good because I just started one and its sitting at level 11 right now.
 
So, guys, today? I am good to go, Ascendant Shards/Energy or otherwise.

Please be otherwise. I already have enough shards to get to 30, should I luck into the raid gauntlets.
 
3 VoG runs on normal in 3 weeks and 3 times I received Atheon's Epilogue/Chatterwhite after defeating Atheon.:crazy:
At least I got Praedyth's Revenge after the Templar.

As much as I didn't like the patch forcing 3 random people through, I became totally comfortable with the shield and killing oracles last night. But please Bungie, fix the glitches in VoG before you make more unnecessary changes.

I'll gladly help (anyone else is free to join) after I've solo'd it again with my Hunter.

I so very genuinely despise how it scales when more than one person is present.
 
I'm not good enough to do it on my own. :(

Anybody else want to help? I'm sure three is better than two.

I never knew that. What scales, exactly? Defense, Damage output, health, the usual?

I can help.
 
Thanks guys, I'll be ready in about 25-30 mins. Need to finish this patrol stuff and then eat.

After you left last night, on the next attempt I was able to defeat the boss. I'm sure the respawning Minatours are easier to take down solo, as I was using less heavy ammo.

Still need to do the nightfall as well, and I'm game for another bash at the raid.

All of that. Especially damage.
 
I still died easily on the heroic from the Minotaurs, unless I use my void LMG. But I only have so much ammo for that.

That's without mentioning that I can't get any shots off at the nexus because I die after two shots.

Yes that's why it is not that impressive when people say they solo the strikes. It is impressive and nothing I would ever mess with. But some people brag about soloing these things like they are the best player ever. Then they act shocked when they get destroyed in 2 or 3 player strikes. :lol:

Also most co-op games scale the enemies depending on the players. ;)

I'm having Internet issues. Everyone I try connecting Destiny's servers my Internet goes down. As in my actual Internet stops working.

Lol, damn Bungie. It's back working now so I can still help.

Edit: nope, I just connected, went into orbit, and lost connection to both Destiny and the PSN. I've never had this happen before and it's driving me crazy.

Edit: you will have to start without me or someone else can jump in. I joined the party and then it immediately said contacting Destiny's servers. Sorry.

I may have found your problem @Clark, you're a 27 and not using Void weapons. :p

Go back to 29.
 
I don't know if 27-29 really makes a difference.

It makes the difference between taking extra damage and dealing less, and dealing extra and taking less. I give up trying right now.

I'm sure the lower level you are the less damage you deal and less damage you can take. No matter what weapons or armor your using.

Edit - beaten to it. :)

Ya there are some charts you can find online. It's a 32% penalty to your damage being 1 level lower than them and 10% more for every level lower. I've never been able to find a chart for what being lower level does to the damage they deal to you though.

Oh yeah. If you're one level below what's being recommended you deal something to the effect of 35% less, 42% if you're two below, and 50-something if you're three below.

And I'm here doing it on 27. No wonder that thing took so damn long haha.
 
I hope it goes bad. I hope you all get only shards and shaders and energies.

:grumpy:
