Edit: I changed the title to clear up confusion.
I should have known when the thread was titled "hosting VoG hard, don't suck"
I had been having a lot of trouble trying to get accepted into the Hard mode Crota groups lately. I have completed hard mode several times, just been unlucky with getting hunger of Crota and Gjallahorn.
I was tired of being asked when I entered hard mode Crota raid groups, "do you have Gjallahorn?, do you have Hunger of Crota?" When the answer came back that I did not, I was either booted, other people dropped, or at the very best they let me stay and just groaned that they knew in their hearts that I was to be carried and probably the cause of wipes.
So I figure, screw it. I will just farm VoG with my pair of warlocks and run normal Crota end until I get one of the two. I wanted to stop being discriminated against for being "bad" and not having "earned" either tracking rocket, despite having completed hard mode Crota end several times.
So I request to join thinking its VoG no problem and get invited to party. The second the mic connects I am bombarded by the group leader.
"What does BretTheRipper have?, do you have upgraded Gjallahorn? Do you at least have a Hunger of Crota???" In a demanding aggressive tone.
This was a VoG hard mode group! Neither of those guns are even needed!
I quickly shot back that requiring either of those guns for his group was ludicrous and that he was the type of person ruining this game for many. I wasn't going to help him complete anything, I was angry. I thought we were beyond this point in the game. I rage quit his group in a flurry angered curse words.
I now dread having to find any group, that anyone can send me into an upset rage just because I don't have a Gjallahorn or Hunger of Crota. Not just the elitists running Crota hard, but VoG groups as well.
Edit #2 thank you for the positive responses!
I play on ps4 if there is anyone wanting to join. Psn is BretTheRipper
Edit #3. Well with the hundreds of replies I have figured out why I still don't have hoc. I only have 10 Crota kills. Only having one character was the main reason. Many weeks early on we would get to Crota and not get it done. I didn't know hoc dropped from Crota cp only. I made a second warlock and I'm considering making a third so I can up my chances for hoc alone and speed this up.

2 RespuestasI've run sword for lfg and my clan for a while. We can carry one or two people, but we need tracking rockets. Idc if they're not Gjallahorn or hunger of crota, just tracking. When I enter a group and they say they've completed it many times with dragon's breath, machine gun or a sniper, I laugh. No, no "you" didn't. Your team carried you. Tracking rockets create timing that the sword runner needs, especially if the he's not a hunter.
-
Where do you find these players I have never ran into anyone like this before.
-
Who da fack uses rockets in vault?
-
1 RespuestaUse Truth if you have it. Even Dragon's Breath works well too, just need to fire it close to his feet.
-
1 RespuestaThe truth is a good replacment, not as effective but solid
-
1 RespuestaWhat about Dragon's Breath?
-
3 RespuestasRun crota normal and you might actually get hoc.

Editado por Wraithlegend: 3/27/2015 12:03:02 PMHonestly 5 black hammers with weapons of light can do it in one run. Gjallahorn is overkill. If only one person has gjallahorn is just stops the snipers getting hits.
-
People suck...
-
If people don't know by now that in VoG you should never, ever use rockets, then don't even play with them. It should be well known at this point that if you pull out your sniper ( black hammer works best, if not icebreaker) and just shoot him he A) doesn't move at all and you can always hit the critical spot and B the DPS is way higher with these weapons. With the proper group you should never have to be teleported to Mars or Venus more than twice. If everyone is alive and in their game.

1 RespuestaAdd me ps4 CSR_ULTRA. I don't care what you have man. You can have a one way ticket for all I care. As long as your putting in work, not being a dick, you can use whatever you want. He'll me and my bud are gonna use no land beyond on april fools cause why not? If they really need ghorn and hoc to beat vog. Then they suck and should probably stick to vanguard roc.
-
Yeah, I have neither. It really -blam!-ing blows, just no luck with the drops at all. The singing bitch insists that if I'm getting anything its a -blam!-ing fusion rifle, I don't use them at all. I swear bungie are trying to tell me something.
-
If you were on XB1 I'd tell you to run with my group, hate that you go through so much trouble for a stupid game :/. Sending good vibes your way and hope you get a gjally or hoc soon.
-
I would gladly help you but I'm on Xbox.

As someone that usually organises raids in my clan, and often runs the sword, the first question I always ask is how many Gally or hungers do we have. As long as we have enough DPS in total, and everyone knows what they are doing, then I don't care what they have. I have a friend in my clan who raids/nightfalls with me every week who has been really unlucky with RNG with neither of them dropping, but I would rather run with him any day compared to a random with maxed Gally as he is a great team player, with good communication etc and that is far more important to me

-
Got a maxed hunger.
-
-
Honestly send me an Friend Request and my team will help you GT TM Ducie That's on X1 but. We three man Hard Crota we have a very good SB and we all have rockets all you need to do is try not die and just help us all go to where we have to go and shout when he is moving. Hate Raid Teams like that.
-
Easiest thing to do is a join a decent clan. Regular raids with a decent bunch of people and you'll never have to LFG again...
-
Gjallarhorn maxed out, got it from deathsinger on normal.
-
I have both
-
I use a maxed ghorn cuz why not
-
I rock my ghorn. JUST GOT WOLFPACK ROUNDS
-
1 RespuestaAs long as you have 2 people with decent tracking rockets and a sword bearer, it shouldn't matter what everyone else has. I'm happy to pull first timers or those without the weapons through. My only requisite.... stay alive.
-
1 RespuestaDude. I have HOC but Dragons Breath does a lot more damage than HOC. Just aim at his feet.
