What is this game like if I were to buy it and start from scratch now? way behind to do anything?

It'd be fine. People are starting alts now and you can solo up to 20. Do public events and that will get you armor to get you to 31. It is pretty easy.

It is certainly not hard, but I've found that the playlist (at least, on Xbox One) for the strikes below level 26 are dead.

Next week's patch fixes all the Crota cheeses. Sad. Glad I did it every week it has been available.

What the "cheeses" I see people talking about?

There are ways to glitch the game and do it much easier than normally intended.

I told you it would be fixed. That's why they did not release hard.

Now lets see how many people complain it's too hard because they have no clue how to do it properly.

 

[DaTT]

So, can you do the Raids multiple times or do you get locked out for the week once it's completed.

Also, I tried for a long time today to get into a VoG Normal raid on Destinylfg, not many people respond when you tell them you've never done it. Still have yet to get into one.

Once per week per difficulty unless you do hard.

In other words you can do Normal once and Hard once or you can just do hard and it counts as doing it on normal since all the loot from normal carries over to hard.

Also, find a guide or video on youtube of the raid. Learn how each section works and then you know how to do it. You never did it but if you see how it's done it isn't that difficult to understand.

Who here plays on the Xbox One? I am willing to join up since PUGs will probably soon be a mess with the impending cheese fixes for Crota's End.

 

[smackababy]

I am on Xbox One. I made sure I did all of CE a few times without cheesing it so I could learn the fights before just afk loot farm cheesing it.

It really isn't that bad. Unless they buff the adds in Crota, it isn't too difficult. Perhaps, make the orgres not retarded and allow people to sit in the middle.

Got my Husk of the Pit last night (only got like a quarter of the kills) and hit 31 on the Titan! Only the lock left to level.

That's what YouTube and guides are for. It's not any more difficult than VOG was at the beginning. I think most people know how to do it, they might complain because its too hard for them but they won't complain that they have no idea what to do.

I am on X1 but dont have CE. I am open to do VOG.

Believe it or not some people still can't use the relic in vog.

 

[smackababy]

Believe it or not some people still can't use the relic in vog.

And people still can't not stand in fire in World of Warcraft, which is a mechanic in fights that has persisted since like the first raid up until now. There will always be people too dumb to do content. With such limited things to do in Destiny, they have to have something to cater to these mouth breathers. Removing cheeses (which is the only way the majority of these people are going to get gear) is only going to further fracture the game. Luckily, you can get to 31 without needing to raid, but will it always be like that?

Also, anyone check what Xur is selling? I pray it is Gjallahorn, but I expect it is No Land Beyond.

Copied from Bungie forum:

Location: go towards tower hangar, once you get to the end of the corridor instead of going left towards tower hangar go to the right and xur will be in the corner waiting to be cheesed

[Rage187]

the heavy ammo synthesis are a freaking deal. You get 5 for 1 freaking coin. That makes one coin worth 5K glimmer. I use 4-10 a day when raiding. and I buy 200 every time he has them.

 

[smackababy]

Ugh... The Last Word? How crappy. Why can't they have Ice Breaker, Suros, MIDI, or Gjal? Something people actually want?

Its a great gun, but I agree. He's sold it before and just refuses to sell what people actually want. Lame.

 

[smackababy]

I mean, I'll probably buy it simply because I have more strange coins than I know what to do with, but it just sucks the options are constantly terrible. When was the last time he sold IB?

 

[chimaxi83]

He's only sold it once. Week of October 10.

 

[Rage187]

Xur will never have Gjallahorn again. No way.

 

[cmdrdredd]

Bungie is the biggest troll developer there is. They won't sell it because of how good it is knowing that it makes fights easier. It is one of the only exotic weapons that I have never owned whether it dropped or I purchased it. Hunger of Crota is behind it in damage but it is still super good.

 

[Rage187]

what he said. they know everyone wants it and it makes people come back week after week.

 

[Rage187]

my last crota cheese and I got the deathsinger helmet which I didn't need :/ cool looking though.
