With the latest update came some news that suggests we just might be getting the Y1 raids back with relevant loot! What does this mean? Well if and when this happens the forums will be flooded with the annoying cry baby posts about people's raid requirements. But I believe this time around it won't be so much about light level and more about experience. Example being that I'm sure many of you newer players have been blessed by RNGesus and made it to 320, however that's not gonna help you if you have no idea what the -blam!- you're doing! So here is a list of some things to help prepare yourself and avoid being kicked from any raid group. [b][u]Vault of Glass[/u][/b] - Make sure you have a solid void weapon, those minotaurs are assholes. - Learn to run the relic!! Any year one player can tell you the annoyance of getting to Templar or gatekeeper only to ask who wants to run relic and have the fireteam fall silent. Or having to wipe because all 3 players who get teleported don't know how to use it. - Get yourself a Black Spindle, SGA, Sleeper. These will be especially useful for atheon and oracles. - Practice! Do the raid now and learn the mechanics! Learn the gorgon maze, jumping puzzle. Learn how the raid works! Edit - NEVER open the spirit bloom chest. (If you're superstitious that is lol) From A Nerfed Titan - [quote]For Vault of Glass: If you are in a containment field or in the Aegis shield (bubble generated by the relic) [b][u]DO NOT USE [i]ANY[/i] TYPE OF EXPLOSIVES!![/u][/b] doing so [i]will[/i] kill you. When fighting Atheon: If you get teleported and you see "hold X/A" on your screen [i]do not[/i] do so unless you know [i]and[/i] are comfortable using the relic.[/quote] From The True Thienen - Don't use the sleeper inside the relic bubble. It will melt you! [b][u]Crota's End[/u][/b] - Hunters if you don't have a pair of [i]Don't Touch Me[/i] gauntlets, I suggest you get a pair. - Learn the lanterns maze, most of us year one players know it like the back of our hands! - Make good use of your subclass when it comes to generating orbs. I'm looking at you Nightstalkers, those orbs are going to be important! - Make sure you have a helmet with infusion (health regeneration on orb pick up) there's no chalice on hard mode! Having a [i]Red Death[/i] is also very helpful for regening health. - Have a good rocket launcher [u]with tracking[/u] - BRING HEAVY AMMO SYNTHS!!! Just ask a Y1 player about the NLB heavy glitch. Don't get caught without synths. Some general advice is to learn the raid. Practice it now while they are much easier.your light level isn't going to matter if you don't know how the raid works. If you're on my raid team and don't know what you're doing you won't be on my fireteam for very long! So start preparing now to avoid the frustration of not being able to find a team when they bring back these raids! If I've missed any good advice or you've got something to add comment below and I'll add it to the list!! Edit: As many of you have pointed out I may be reading too much into the weekly update. That very well may be the case. HOWEVER I'd like to think at some point we will get the old raids back, it would just make sense. IF and when we do this post was simply meant as a way for Y1 players to share some words of wisdom to help prepare newer players for our beloved end game activities that we've put so many hours into. Thanks for all the positive replies and great info guys! Edit 2: Trending! Edit 3: Wow over 500 replies!
