PS4 player here. have not attempted the raid do to no one to do it with plus i work swing shifts so having the time is hard too. If anyone is willing to run it though I want to give it a shot. lvl 28 Titan have a friend that is a lvl 28 warlock that needs to go too. psn should be the same as here.

I still haven't done it yet. I just don't have the time or enough friends willing to attempt it. However, I did do that glitch where you can get into the vault solo, but you can't really do much in there by yourself :/

My reason is below but first as to people online. I have met a few very chill people and I know other people who have similarly met and raided with some really chill folks who were quite happy to spend days on the same raid trying to co-ordinate a bunch of raid virgins against Aetheon. My suggestion, hit the strike playlist and keep an eye for anyone who has a similar play style than you or a style that compliments you. I find that a lot of personality comes through in play and the people on my friends list I met via strikes because afterwards I though Good Game and I know that it was in large part who I was playing with. I think in general most people are really just looking for a good game. I have not run the raid and I had no intention of doing it. I have had a recent invite to participate and I went a 'uh sure' but the party didn't get past four so it didn't happen. So in truth I might stumble into a raid group and I might not however I am really glad you asked why because this is something that I had wanted to share. Why I had never planned on doing the Raid. When I heard that the first group had made it through in like 11 hours and that the central premise was that the player had no f'ing clue what they were doing I crossed the raid off of my to do list. To me a game is simply a set of rules oriented around an activity, and I do not play games where the rules are unknown. The very notion that the raid was designed so that the first group of people would be required to die over and over again just to figure out the rules is (to me) absurd. This makes death entirely pointless. At least with a game like dark souls death is a part of the game mechanic and part of the story. But here it is simply throwaway re-spawns jumping off a cliff of the unknown where death is certain. Don't get me wrong, I understand that characters die that it is the mechanic. But in theory, if I was a total rock star of a player it is conceivable that I could play the entire story without dying. It is possible (though totally not likely) to even unlock the crucible and not have a single death (I know it wouldn't happen but it is physically possible). However from what I have learned of the raid no matter how good you are even if you had played the entire game on a single life, the Raid would have killed you because dying in the raid is how the raid tutorial seems to work. I find this kind of game design offensive. Again don't get me wrong, I understand other people like it and that is great I have no problem with games being made that I personally am offended by as long as we have diversity I am cool with just not doing things I don't want to do. This leads us to the current situation where the internet is now so saturated with strategies and walk-throughs that no one else can have the same experience as those who first did it. All the strategies and even the Sherpas are just separating the end experience further and further from the designed experience and this I find, not offensive but questionable. I am ambivalent about it I guess I would say. That leads me to a place where I (once again) have to invent my own narrative for this game. It seems that given how the community reacted that a bunch of volunteers went first to spelunk the vault and come back with tales of the content. Which is then disseminated and the community works together helping each other up the hill and this is sort of great in way. I suppose on some level I just wish that it had been presented this way, as a challenge that the entire community would need to rally around to complete. Because apart from those first six adventurers has anyone done the raid without some help or information that was directly or indirectly from those first six? As it is if I do the raid it will not be me and five others doing the raid it will be the six of us on the ground with the full support of google, bungie.net and all of those who have braved the vault before us and chosen to discuss the mysteries within. It's a collective business and that is pretty cool. My point: I don't have one. As mentioned I am ambivalent. I don't want to do the raid but I do want to participate in this epic journey as the community joins forces to defeat the darkness one raid at a time. But then I want an event where for a week or so the tower is under attack and everyone who logs in can just forget about the crucible or strikes and instead defend the wall as a community for days on end and when the dust clears for the world to be changed forever.

Ps4 Hard raid. Levels ; 29-30. Must have mic. Comment users I am level 30.

Did the raid first time yesterday with a group of guys who took pity on a virgin - we had to stop at Atheon (got late in the UK and folks in the US had other commitments), but due to finish it tonight. A lot to take in for the uninitiated. Toughest part I found was the teleporting at the atheon battle - one time especially when I got zapped from mars to Venus on my own after doing the oracles. I died alone in the dark in a corner feeling like I was on bad acid. Good fun though!

Raid Virgins... Lol.. If any of you have PS4's. My PSN ID is Real_iLL420. Add me, send a message letting me know you HAVEN'T done the raid and I'll run raids with you when ever I can. I'll even set the fireteam up. I'm a lvl 29 warlock (would be 30 if RNGesus would stop hating on me). I've done the raid a bunch of times, would be happy to play tour guide.

can you please help me im in level 26 idk how to get more light gear i need raid gear and guns ps4 jersey-flako201

I will tell you I took someone from these forums through the RAID last night on Normal and walked him through it and helped him understand the mechanics of the game and we live streamed it. I just sent him the video so he would have it for reference. I would like to say to everyone be at least a 27 and the reason I say that its not talking negative of anyones skills or anything. Its just the enemy puts out alot of damage and you will not damage them as much as a level 26. I hope that didnt offend anyone because this post isnt about that. I am someone that helps as much people I can to get through the RAID to get there weekly stuff complete.
