Yup, I'd certainly be up for more. I'd like to get to the stage where I've seen it all for meself and know exactly where to go to do what. Sadly I missed most of the Deathsinger stage through being deaded.
While we're on the subject, I've only done the first half of VoG (twice) so I'd be up for a trip through there too.

I've done the VoG once, but it was many eons ago, and I didn't know what I was doing. I did get my lovely Athelon's Epilogue, which got me through last night, but it is the old style with a maximum of 300. I'd love an upgraded one .... or anything shiny to be honest!

If only there were upgraded legendaries in VoG... But alas, it's only exotics, I believe.
But that's no reason to shun poor Athelon. I still use my Vision of Confluence as my go-to primary.
I'm happy to take part in a few of these raids for both sentimental reasons (who doesn't miss that hop, skip and a jump over the chasm after being stared down my Gorgons). But also, at some point I'd love to get some of those trophies under my belt.
Somehow, despite having done the beginning, middle and end of hard VoG, I don't seem to have the trophy.
Also, if we ever spark off another session of an 'Expendables' Raid (ie a bunch of guys who get MILLIONS of bullets shot in their direct but somehow none of them die), it would be great experience.
Bring it on!!

Thanks to everyone who took part last night, if i was rambling or seemed rushed I really didn't mean to be. I ramble on anyway but I knew we were going to attempt to finish the hard raid after the normal runs and I was slightly dreading how long it might take!
Im happy to run through the normal raid - Crota or Atheon - with anyone. Normal Crota is still necessary for upgrading gear and its quite fun. Vog is still a good place to get shards, energies, exotics and some of the best legendary weapons (even if they do max out at 300 damage). After doing the normal raids a number of times everyone should be able to run hard if they want to.
On a separate note - thanks to everyone who helped out trying to kill Crota on hard over the weekend, its been frustrating at times but nobody gets annoyed or snappy with each other and it really helps. After hearing some bad stories about lfg raid teams I'm glad we have such a decent bunch of people at Gamers Evolved!

I will be happy to help out, but I am a lowly 31 at the moment. Also, you weren't rambling, you were explaining what needed to be done, and the fact we only restarted the sections at most once each, I think you did a good job! Thanks again

A big thanks to all for the raids last night! 2nd time for me doing crota and a very new experience using a hunter rather than my usual warlock. Hard sounds like it might be rather insane.....

Hard is fine and enjoyable. Until you get to crota. After a few runs through normal we can run you through hard. Well the first two sections. See if you can get the pulse rifle and auto rifle. They'll come in handy for nightfalls.
It's good to get new people through the raids and get new mixes in the groups. As usual, if anyone else wants to run a raid give us a shout when we are on.

Didn't end hard Crota last night unfortunately Edd. We only gave it till 12:30 - like i said I was dreading a long haul fight - the teams always working well but we were plagued by glitches. If their not giving it a try right at this very moment we might be going for it later.

Thanks to the guys last night for dragging me through Crota again. I got a nice homing rocket launcher this time. I will level it up so I can help take down Crota and waste my heavy ammo packs, rather than simply being on boomer duty (which for me was fine, I love my Ice Breaker!)
Much appreciated!

Pretty sure they aint dragging you through ed. you'll be holding you own. Hunger of crota is the best legendary rocket launcher around.

cant believe hard mode crota is still undefeated by the clan his fat ass defo needs tanned this week lol Isn't glowhoo only obtainable in hard mode? I'm sure Agent Dan was twirling in it the other night. (Note, this comment was made by one who has done one single raid, and may be misguided.)

Yeah I've beat crota hard 4 times now (2 as sword bearer). The ones I've made it through were with a few people that knew it really well and just needed an extra rocket launcher. From that I tried to get as much from them as I could to help us get it done.
But seriously fuck crota. When I was playing with the guys on hard the other night everyone was doing everything better than the group I had done it with. A lot slicker and it was just glitches and the sword bearer being a sod that messed us up. VoG hard you have margins for error. In the crota battle there is none. It's too annoying when it's artificially difficult because everyone is a level higher than us.

Well, I've killed Crota 34 times, come back home after working 28 hours a day down mill, hacked him up into pieces and made him into beef stew while sleeping in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.
But you try telling that to the youth of today... and they'll never believe you...
