Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

Is it correct that if you upgrade your armour with the ascendant shards etc that you get more light from them?
Yes. Fully leveled up Legendary gear gives 27 light, exotic gives 30. I think raid gear also gives 30, although I'll never know :(

Thanks for the reply. You on Xbox? I am sure if you go on reddit or the likes there will be people in the same scenario. You can buddy up and hit a raid like that!.
 
I'd take you on the team!! Expert survivor :D
I suppose my trait is "Get close and friendly...then die"
Haha, I try. I've just realised I'll probably only be able to play til about 8.30 tonight though, so may not be able to get involved. Should be free most of tomorrow night though.

I'm sure DLC will give the ability to level past 30 without a fireteam at some point. Hang in there.

Managed to do some chest farming last night with a couple of guys on Venus. Hit about 15 chests in 20minutes. Got two new Rare Ships, a couple Engrams and about 40 Spirit Blooms along the way. Did the same on Mars for Relic Iron and upgraded my Legendary and Exotics. It's not at the point where I need to use my Ascendant stuff to upgrade but I only have 9 shards and 6 Energy and don't know if they are worth saving or not. Defence is 1100 currently.
 
If someone wants help with the nightfall mission, ill be on at 8pm and ill run through it with you.

It is impossible to fail it once you get to the last boss.

Oh Rly?

@Ady87 I'd say use it on your exotic first... if you know you'll be keeping it.

Yep, ive even told you guys how to do it a couple of pages ago ;)

You clear out the second to last room, 2 members (fireteam leader and one other) stay there while the third member runs up the right hand side of the last room, then across the deck and jumps over the boxes that are under the stairs on the top left hand side of the room.

Once he/she is there, you promote them to fire team leader, and the two other team members enter the room and tackle the boss, while the third chips in as and when.
If the two other members are killed, all they do is exit the mission to orbit, then rejoin the fireteam leader, they will respawn in the second to last room and can continue the mission from there.

The fireteam leader cannot be killed behind the boxes under the stairs, and no mods spawn there.

It takes about 30 minutes this way to do it, but its a guaranteed no fail method.

And I dont think anyone else has come up with it yet.

Make sure you have plenty of ammo packs, and only worry about the Psions that come up on the platform with you, one of you needs to have a void heavy, and ideally the other an arc sniper for the boss.

I've got void heavy and void sniper. Heavy is a machine gun so will that do?
 
Yeah, you just need to be able to break the psions shields quickly as they are pretty much the only threat if you do it right.

Nightfalls at the moment are all about just finding a way to keep the fireteam leader safe so the others can get back in.
The bosses dont regenerate health, and the enemies work on line of sight, so if they cant see you and you dont agro them, they will leave you be while the other members get back in.

Just a word of caution, you still need to be care full under the stairs, as there is section at one end where enemy fire can still sneak though, so only pop your head round to fire through it dont sit there and let them shoot you in the face.
 
Apparently, if you complete the raid, there is no guarantee if that you will get raid gear. All that work, and you could end up with a gun or something.

You get raid gear at various points. The others and I weren't even a third of the way through the raid and we got some gear.
 
What day shall we continue the raid? Thursday when the CL is finished, or maybe tonight?

Is it? I haven't had shit... just some shards I think.
 
I fancy a go at the raid if anyone will have me.
 
Tempted to get this tonight, just hate starting games like this at level 1 when everyone else has cracked on.
 
I got these:



Bit pointless though as nothing'll replace my sunbreakers, but the raid specific abilities will be useful during the raids in future.

Yeah you are sunsinger too right? I hear that... I'm hoping to get an exotic piece to complement my void sub-class... then I'll switch between the 2 depending on the situation.
 
I've really not been able to put as much time as i'd like into this over the last few weeks.

Currently a level 22 and struggling to get any higher as yet. I did one of the queen bounties and it gave me a mars mission to complete (Meridan Bay), its rated as level 24 I think, and I'm getting killed by two shots from the scrawny little purple dudes at the start - I literally have zero chance of completing it.

I've heard a few of you talk of abandoning missions until you get cosomdrome as it is the easiest queen mission, but mine seems set? Am I missing something?

Doesnt take long, get past the first hour, make sure you are loaded up with bounties and always select a difficulty above your level when you select a mission and it wont take long.
