I can help but what time do you normally play around and where are you stuck at?

Apparently you will get two engrams which contains one legendary item and one normal item when you achieve rank 3 reputation with the cryptarch, at least that is what it said when I got mine from the postmaster.

Pretty neat, now I'm aiming for Dead Orbit reps, 200 to go to rank 1  sweat.gif

Yes rank 3 onwards, you will get at least 1 legendary engram. Sometimes 2. This will test your luck. I am at Rank 9 cryptarch and all the legendaries come out Rares doh.gif
and one Legendary that is not for my class.

So I'm curious about how you folks feel about the lootgame, what do you think about it?

After putting in 14+ hours in the postgame and getting a total of 3 legendary engrams, of which only 1 resulted in actual legendary gear, I feel like I'm not getting enough out of the game considering the time I've invested in it. Bungie needs to adjust some of the drop rate, or give a higher chance of legendary engrams turning into legendary gear.

The only reason I"m still playing it is because there's no other game that I'm interested in right now but once that release calendar heats up come Christmas, you'll be sure that I'm playing a different game by then. The current content in the game is too threadbare to hold my attention, and I suspect it'll be the same for others.

Those that have played and invested time in many mmorpgs will find the grind and the loot system is nothing new. I believe even those that came from early Diablo III days will find the loot system a child's play. The game is practically encouraging you to grind your way up if you look at the game as a whole. I am fine with the grind and i'm sure there are some as well. Though i do personally feel the sense of direction on where you are grinding is no where to be found. It just feels you are grinding it blindly. Sure you are grinding for an Exotic or a Legendary item but the clarity as to why is very uncertain. Nonetheless all of us just follow because thats what everyone else is doing. Once you do get an Exotic, the impact for it seems quite backstreet. However these are just my thoughts. To each of his own for this game.

was just reading up on Reddit and apparently the Raid has Eight Bosses....good grief.

QUOTE
General Tips:

    Have at least one warlock with self-res. It's a clutch wipe-save.
    Lower levels (less than 25) seem to have a huge problem staying alive and doing enough/any damage to some mobs
    The fireteam leader is the progress saver. So it MIGHT be possible to hop between raid groups unless you actually clear something.
    Bungie has said there are EIGHT bosses. When they said you weren't gunna be able to clear it one sitting... Guess we know where the extra content was ಠ_ಠ

Spire:

    Put 2 people on each of the three circles. The mid two can help the sides as needed.
    You DON'T have to stay in the circle once it's up. But at least one should really stay in it on the sides.
    The Praetorians are the biggest problem really. Call them out and use the proper weapon for the shield (It's the purple one, w/e that is)

The Templar (pt1)

    Turret Defense! You're the turrets.
    You defend the middle, then the two sides, then all three.
    The "diseased" mobs drop debuff circles on death. Get rid of your debuffs before the ritual goes off by running into the glowing middle circle
    Said circle has limited uses? Try not to fail

The Templar (pt2)

    Oracles spawn at locations designated by musical tones. They need to die or you'll wipe due to debuff overload.
    Hobgoblins spawn on the pillars around the arena. I'd recommend putting someone on them before they get outta hand.

The Templar (pt3)

    Put someone good on the relic. They oneshot the problem mobs, cleanse the debuff, and blow up the Templar's shield.
    Once the shield goes down, someone gets trapped. Pew pew to get out. Just not with a rocket launcher.
    Everyone else PEW PEW the Templar

Gorgon's maze thingy

    You have to sneak past them. No weapons, no double jump, no supers. Grenades might distract them?
    Cloak does work
    If ANYONE is seen, everyone dies.
    There's a little cave in the floor you have to find to get past this part

Opening the gate

    Kill the normal gatekeeper
    Split the party. 2-3 go in the portals, others stay out to keep them open and to defend the middle thing.
    Middle thing is turret defense. Minotaurs spawn from the actual gate constantly and are the only mobs that can kill the middle pylon.
    Left has Praetoreans and right has hobgoblins. Both are annoying.
    Kill the gatekeeper in each portal. Grab the relic when you're done. If it gets dropped for too long you die.
    Relic person has to leave the portal LAST or the people get stuck on the wrong side?
    Debuff here makes you have a black screen. Relic dispels.
    The stream I was watching is stuck here and is disbanding for the night. It seems to be a common stopping point for all.

So in the end, i can sum the game probably in a few words. It is a love and hate relationship kind of game and thats what i personally feel on that. Those that used to the grind are likely to be able to appreciate certain aspects of the game while those have 0 experience in mmo grinding will find this a tiresome affair. Bungie denies it that is a mmo but by heart it is a mmo. The grind, the material hunting, RNG, never ending tedious missions that is either collect this or kill that which are few key aspects of mmo games. This game is definitely not meant for the casual players. Not to say casual players can't play this at all but in order to reap full of the benefits that are made into the game, theres an amount of time to spend.

At the moment, those that really want to attempt the Raid, need to at least put out a dedicated time of 1-3 hours though it is depending on how well equipped and coordinated the team is. I have seen the streams and i can assure dying is a sure thing raids and alot of trial and errors but thats the fun thing about raids. Its about discovering and applying new strategies to make things work together as a team not just shoot anything thats not a guardian laugh.gif

Anyways, apparently the team that has completed the Raid has gotten a Shade call Chatterwhite which basically makes your whole equipment look white and some gears that gives bonus damage to oracles/praetorians. I bellieve once everyone has good raiding gear, the raid itself should pose much of a problem any longer.

Those teams have died a thousand death just to complete the Raid

and I wonder when there will be a GOD like team that can unlock the Flawless Raider (complete a raid without anyone in your fireteam dying) trophy? sweat.gif

Its all in the strategy. Hence the team that completed refused to share or divulge any strategy on how they complete it until they have completed the Hard mode.

IMO it's like vanilla wow. only 2-3% of the players manage to see end game content. where eic(legendary) loot comes mostly from world random drop because most ppl can't clear raid content. so have to grind fraction rep a lot.

then blizzard reduce the difficultly curve on  expansion to draw in more casual players. if bungie follows blizzard. there will be more legendary n exotic drop in future. this will happen when players b**** about difficultly or when players are leaving the game to another.

for the time being we just have to man up. be more dedicated. read on strategies. watch videos. work on teamwork.

I think destiny needs to revamp the loot system to satisfy.

they should at least give a mailing system. I wish can pass on some equipments to some deserving people. Its quite sad to see that i get legendaries that either i have or not for my class and i have friends who are hunting for them tirelessly but still cant get it.

one good thing about the raid is that you don't have to complete it in one sitting. You can reach a part then take a break and continue next day. The Fireteam leader acts as the save mechanism. So next day can continue at the last save point with the same fireteam leader.

Just shows you, how hard this damn raid is.
So I look at your profile yesterday, I see a lot of attempt to try and Raid by forming a fireteam.
Did you get a chance to try again?  brows.gif
*
Tried twice. All fail attempts. What the guides said at Reddit is right. Really need one Void weapon to shed the Praetorian shield quickly and then blast it off with a heavy weapon. It is best split amongst the 3 groups, one high level one low level. Seems to work better that way but nonetheless still fail cuz not many of us can take down the Praetorian fast enough. I only 2 including myself have Void weapon. The rest don't have. Hence the whole coordination was abit messed up. We call it a day after attempting for an hour.
