My concern is that I like having Ice Breaker, and it's a pain to swap exotics in tense situations. Is there another exotic I should just hold-out for instead? I've got like 35+ coins, with more every week.

I would say keep Shadow Price and save your coins. Suros is just really slow after the 1st upgrade. It supposedly increases damage when zoomed but I can't 100% confirm that it actually does. I have played with it quite a bit because it was the best thing I had for a long time.

We wanted to go last night, but we were short and I could not find any of our usual participants online.

Picked up Suros regime. Bought an engram, and got screwed. Have the motes so might try the slot machine again. In case I get a helmet for my warlock, I can use exotic gauntlets to get the elusive level 30.

Hmmm if you don't mind having a raid nublet along for the ride, I may be able to. I am still only level 27 though, though that may change soon.

In my opinion you're better off with a legendary auto rifle like the one from the raid. Even though the suros is better pve it can still be a bit slow when you got a lot of enemies around you like in the raid.

But with the amount of coins you got I'd say get it anyway and give it a try.

Actually one of the guys we played with last night was level 26 still using the Stranger's Rifle. I think you'll be fine in the Vault.

Materials are great, but I have no raid gear or exotic helm from Xur. I have not spent any materials yet as I thought it be best to save them for exotics or raid gear. Not really excited about the Titan Chest Xur has now, but I might grab it to get me to 28. knowing my luck, next raid after i've upgraded the exotic the raid will give me the chest piece.

We have only ever done it legit. I don't even know how to push him off. And we've never beat the Templar on hard. We've only tried once, while level 28's. How do you push him off, in case we get desperate? Last time, we beat him legit with one teleport, so we were close.

I'll probably be up for a Sunday with my Titan. I apologize for ditching you last night, and for not taking Casey up on his invite. It was a disaster. Wife comes in and her electronic appendages just suck the life out of my connection. I could not do anything...paralyzed. Worse, I ask her if she is connected to wifi, which should be a hint to fix it, and all I get is "I don't know." I just quit for a while. I'm actually confused, because PS4 is hardwired, and I changed QOS of the router to put that port on highest priority, yet the wife curse persists.

I got a chestpiece my first time. It was the ninth time I finally got some boots. I have three epilogues and a bunch of Chatterwhites, though

Yes, from the beginning. What's your level? And how many times have you done it on normal without cheese? And have you done it on hard? It would be good to have a hard veteran. We usually have a team of six. One guy is out of town until Monday, and often someone does not show up. So we need either one or two for sure. I'm waiting to see if Dodger (volcomsocal) can play, since he's done it with us a couple of times and has done most of it on hard. If we can't get a good "hard" team together, we'll probably do it on normal with alts. And if we do it on hard, we'll probably take extra time to explore for extra treasures. Especially that vex portal that you can jump to across the disappearing rocks.

Not for a hard raid. You would not have any fun.

[Mavrick]

For the templar bit the person that picks up the relic just takes out harpies and doesn't use the super. That way the templar won't teleport and all you need to do is all stand where the relic spawned and throw grenades at him and he slowly keeps moving backwards until he drops off the ledge. It's not as cheap as the atheon cheese just a sure fire way to get that 5th chest.

All good Jon, we don't want your wife kicking you out of the PS4.
Ric and I were just playing Tiger strike once you left us. We were almost at the Priest with a random. All of sudden "bing", not just me but also Ric got the invite from Casey. I told Ric "we need to BAIL ASAP", it's the Raid with Casey and company". So we ditched the random guy and I actually felt bad doing it. Oh well, he can start over with others.

If we're looking for someone this Sunday (most likely) evening with the others. I got you a spot.

That's not saying much. LOL! It might be worth the half hour, with the characters we've already done for the weak just to get the chest, though. I'll bring that up.





Hmm. Macruz, If I know there is a spot Sunday, and I have the time, I might delete a warlock and make a new one. I doubt I'll have the time without someone to boost me.

I have only done it a couple times on normal, that's fine though, never mind.

I'm not saying no. I just want to know. I'm not the team boss, rather the least senior member, so if there is a possible sub, I need to sell you. None of us have finished on hard, either, but we are all 29+ and have done VOG normal 9-10 times without cheesing any of it.

I have a 28 titan, but after a few shards will be 29. VOC, ice breaker, zombie, a few other exotic & legendary weapons.

No cheese either BTW.

jsteinhauer: concerning QOS, I believe that only pertains to WIFI priorities. Seeing that you are hard wired, the QOS setting would have no effect.

I can change priority for the LAN ports, but I guess that only prioritizes wired traffic of one port with respect to another? It drives me crazy, you know. We pay a stupid amount of money for cellular data, because we need it, and she persists in using the DSL. It's just mindboggling.

I feel your pain. For a time, I had my 3 kids + their boyfriends/girlfrends, another one we were raising and my wife all using my 1.5M DSL while I was trying to play COD.
Now I have Fiber with a .2 ms ping and only my wife and 1 daughter at the house. I pay for 10M down but generally get around 30M down.

It's coming, but it's way behind schedule. The glass is in the ground, but they have not yet started connecting residences in my immediate area. I am still hoping before the end of the year, but it's getting late. Once the weather turns to crap, there will be no hope until May.

May I borrow some of your strange coins, ascendent energy and shards?

[CasualKiller]

Any interested in a hard raid tomorrow at 11 EST? (AM)

Minimum level 29. There's some gear I need that's only available on hard (helm). I'm sure there has to be others in the same boat.

LOL. Before the that last upgrade of my new boots this morning, I had exactly 100 shards. I get shards all the time for my engrams, and it's virtually all I get in the Vault of Glass. Can never have enough energies, though. Are you level 29, yet?
