Hot Heart Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm in. Not sure being that low a level would work though. Your damage would be reduced drastically against level 26 enemies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yeah, that's not gonna work very well at all. Here's some data. Basically at 1 level below your target you're doing 30% less damage, at 2 levels below you're doing 40% less, at 3 levels below it's 50% less, etc. I would definitely not recommend even attempting the raid until you're 26. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I've got a non-PXOD friend to hop in with us. He's beaten the early stages of VoG so he should be a worthy addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) You guys take it away. I'mma play for the next hour, and if I get lucky with a few drops I could probably make it to lvl 24. Which still isn't ideal, probably doing 30-40% damage on enemies at that. A lot of the time only headshots count too right. The only reason I'm still level 22 is because I can't be arsed with Destiny's grindey, time-demanding bullshit. Now I'm suffering. Thanks Bungie! Edit: I actually knew what you're saying Ethan, but assumed it would be doable in some sense if about 23 or so. But I guess not.

SomTervo Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Did this go ahead? Think I only saw one fireteam of 3 rocking about. I grinded a bit more last night, but it was kinda fun. Patrols are decent enough. You just run out of travel space within about 5 minutes. Racking up the Vanguard rep/marks atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 The most efficient way to grind for vanguard marks is by just sitting in the Cosmodrome and running back and forth between the public events in the Mothyards and the Divide. The Mothyards have one every X:00 and X:30, and the Divide has one every X:15 and X:45, guaranteed. Each public event gives you 4 marks, so you can get 16/hour (plus the first public event you do per character per day gets you a bonus 2 marks). The Vanguard Tiger playlist only gives you 6 marks, and each run takes about 25-35 minutes depending on how good your team is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Heart Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Only had three of us in the end. Tried the Nightfall Weekly Strike but with arc damage buffed on the Summoning Pits strike, it's fucking tough. The goddamn knights and wizards do arc damage, so we were pretty much screwed when even a few showed up. Had to give up on the final wave of that bloody runes bit. So then we tried the Heroic version at level 26. This was still tough because yellow health bar wizards are a pain. Managed it, though not exactly glowingly. On the other topic, public events are good for getting marks, but doing the Strike playlists is generally good for improving your skills and getting a bunch of engrams (along with gear to scrap). Since you get a purple 'package' with the postmaster every time you rank up with a vendor, it's always good to be getting engrams to rank up the cryptarch as well.

SomTervo Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Yes- a friend and I tried the Nightfall one. Holy shit. Had Phogoth down to a sliver of health at one point... Then three wizards showed up. Always with the three wizards. They're why the 3 runes bit is so tough too. Yeah i've been decrypting all day long, doing public events, patrols and bounties mostly. With the odd strike. About level 24.5 atm. Edited October 23, 2014 by broom_ryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I think the events of Tuesday night (See Hot Heart's post above) have ruined Destiny for me. I've not been on it since (longest streak since launch day), and I can't summon any motivation to play it. I might just be done... It's not that I didn't enjoy myself to some degree, I'm just asking myself 'Why would I do this..AGAIN, for another armour upgrade', that part of the game has lost me, and that's basically what Destiny is. I'll probably jump back in when the expansions hit; but for now I think I'm over Destiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm going to do the VoG this Friday, starting sometime between 10 AM and noon Central time (4 PM and 6 PM UK time), depending on when I get home. Anyone who's leveled enough who wants to join is welcome, I'm going to use destinylfg.net to fill out the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Me me me! I'll try and make it. Will be closer to 6:00GMT, maybe a bit after, if that's alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well my goal is to get it finished before my wife gets home around 8:15 GMT, so my plan was to just start as early as possible and whoever's there can come too.
