The Vault continues to shaft me. Tonight it really rubbed it in.

2 more of my friends got leveled up to 26 this week. That makes 5 of us with me and 2 other friends that are 29/30. We picked up someone we'd run the raid with before as a 6th. It went pretty quickly I thought. About 3 hours but the 2 new guys had never done it before.

Today was the 2 new guys' first raid. One got 2 pieces of raid armor. The other got armor plus VoC.

I got the worthless freaking Titan Mark. I think my Titan is cursed. Several raids, no armor.

I did the VoG once and literally got ascendant energy and a new shader. I was irate.

I just want some weapons. I want to try it on hard, but I'm afraid it might take 5 hours to even get to Atheon. I wouldn't want to do it with randoms, but at the same time, if you're matching up for hard mode, you know they're experienced with the raid.

All my reading indicates Hard Mode is no joke. Pretty sure a level 29 takes 50% more damage than a level 30 player. That means 29s can easily get one-shot'ed in many places including the sniper hobgoblins in the oracle stage.

Also, that level 29 is doing something like 33-40% less damage than the level 30. One guy indicated that a 29 with fully maxed weapons would still be ~17% weaker than a 30 with no weapon upgrades. It's a significant difference.

A good primary weapon (or lack thereof) will make or break you in this game. I started a new character, level 14 currently. Have not gotten a solid unique gun yet and the sledding has been more difficult- especially strikes

Big patch today.

Highlights seem to be:

Voice Chat
10 bounty slots now
Public Events will occur 10-15% more frequently in all public spaces
Shader previews
Armor potential stats added (shows what upgraded stats will be)

I attempted it at 29 with randoms. The respawn was the worst part. Wasn't impossible, but you have to have a good team. Two of the guys were having a contest to see who could die the fastest and i'm pretty sure another was scared to death. Hid in the back the entire time.

I may just wait until I'm level 30. But once I hit level 30 and can safely beat VoG hard, what more do I have to play for at that point?

Nothing unless you want to round out your gun collection. Sit back and wait for the next expansion and raid.

Or build another character.

Other changes not in official patch report...

Archon Priest mission....say goodbye to hiding under the platform.
Cliff at the beginning of that area is still open.
Patrol Missions now show type when nearby without pulling out Ghost
"Nightfall scaling has been changed. Now harder to solo"

Damn. Hopefully that one won't come up again in the near future. There is nowhere to hide on that fight. I realize the ramp is pretty cheap, but there aren't any other decent spots to seek cover.

Why would you change the Nightfall? It's already pretty damn hard to solo, considering you absolutely cannot die.

Some much needed patches. Now if only they would nerf pistols in PvP and create a few more game types in PvP.

I think it starts out harder than before (meaning when playing solo). However, when 3 are playing, it doesn't ramp up as much as it was before.

There's a way around their fix to get under the platform. Saw a youtube video of a guy jumping off the back, then jumping again to hover and walk underneath.

The framerate sucks @ss now. Incredibly choppy when there are lots of enemies.

These patches seem to be making the game worse.

I don't have infinite grenades anymore.. Warlocks could reign terror with the void fang vest.. Now you have to die to re spawn with grenade energy... As was intended I'm sure.. Almost got VOC leveled up, a circle and a half to go.. Oracle disrupter is unlocked, at 277 attack now.. the truth is almost leveled now too, Jesus it tracks aggressively. I've killed myself with it more than a few times

Ran the VOG last night before the reset. We had three 27's in the game and no 30's which made it a little tough, but we managed.

Anybody up for a VOG run tomorrow night like we did last week? Thrasher? Kwebb?

Thanks for the help with the Nightfall Sto. Those guys were tough.

If we can start before 9pm or so. I had last Thursday off work. I won't be able to stay up that late again tomorrow.

Did you get your other character leveled up that quickly?
