Downed Crota with Dahbadu, Krampus, Luna, Fev, and aegiven tonight. :woop:

I'm a bit disappointed with Light of the Abyss. I was hoping for a unique perk similar to the Black Hammer but it is a 331 attack arc rifle and has hip fire/crowd control/enhanced battery combo. The starting mag is 7, so I think the enhanced battery will take it to 9?

Unfortunately the enhanced battery is extremely disappointing and only brings it to 8 rounds in a mag. I'd rather just slot faster reload.

Welp, 360 raid couldn't beat Crota. It was a laggy, buggy mess. Maybe next week though!

Also it kind of sucks getting a bunch of radiant shards and energy that are worthless at the moment. At least the first chest gave me Ice Breaker 2.0.

Are you serious? I would kill for radiant shards. I've got one raid armor drop so far (the boots) and I need 21 of them to upgrade it. I have 0.

As for Iron Banner, making the armor +33 only makes sense timing wise. It gives people another avenue to get over the 30 hump. Surprised it's not head and chest though to complement the fact that you can already get arms and boots without commendations. I bet next time we see Iron Banner it will sell +36 stuff.

I really hope one of the weapons on sale is Jolder's Hammer. I missed it the first Iron Banner and then it wasn't sold on the second :csgo:

You can still get Jolders Hammer by random reward. I got the gat last time that way.

Wait so your IB standing is preserved? Man they better keep it that way, no renegging.

I just noticed they haven't updated it except for the date and "level 31 gear" because it still says "Your previous Iron Banner rank has been preserved" and it's supposed to be reset this time

So is it preserved or not?

It's not. It was preserved last time but from now on it's a total reset every time. Same with Queen's I believe. Grind grind grind.

Congrats on getting him, guys! I got pulled in to another group of goons who took him down, so I didn't get to watch it happen.

Well I guess I should thank reddit groups because a solid 7 hours of incompetence has convinced me to take a break from this game. There's no way at this point I'm downing crota before reset and running the raid rewarded nothing but shards.

On a side note, didn't a preview say something about a sparrow race to escape a hive worm? That would off been awesome.

VOG is a much better raid if only for the fact that it's pretty forgiving for new folks.

The teleporting between sections in scrotums end make the raid feel rushed and disjointed. Its like they took the encounters they actually had working and pushed them out the door

Well I didn't have any other option than reddit, couldn't time getting into a goon group. Aside from devotion to trying to down crota I wouldn't say I fell into the sunk cost trap cause I dropped bad groups like destiny drops connections.

More like Skinner box the game. Crota would of likely rewarded shards anyway

Beating Crota guarantees a weapon. Both times I've cleared him everyone got one. I don't think he drops armor though. Also I've had better luck with destinylfg.net than reddit, there's way more traffic.

What's the damage levels on these weapons? 331? Or regular ol' 300?
