Those people that ask for 300+ light level for a raid, those are the people that wanna get carried. I'll happily play with 280+ for the raid if they know what they are doing.

I'm just replying to knock down another hammer of sol post. Carry on with whatever this post is whining about, I'm sure it's something more fresh at least.

My friends and I managed with a 285 guy until oryx. But luckily he was 290 by the time we got to him. We haven't defeated him yet but we are planning to today. You can join if you want

[quote]First of all, if your curious go look at my history. I spend 12 hours grinding strikes from lvl 284 to 290, I was stuck at 289 for half that time, and after numerous hours of horse shit RNG, bullshit exotic engram giving me a third hawkmoon, and playing Rasputin, Undying Mind, Cabal Twins, Taniks, and Valus strikes, I finally got to raid. It wasn't from the beginning, apparently it started from totems. I joined a group with diverse levels, and I went into the raid blind. I was a bit handicapped as I was using an autorifle primary, and I usually don't like running raids without something that packs a punch, but I had to due to the light level. Anyway here's what happen. After one kid left and rejoined because he sucked at jumping, we arrived at the two totem room. At first I was a bit confused with what my role was, but after an explanation I figured it out immediately. It was basically similar to the crota bridge totem hold. we just had to rotate positions based on the relic, and deathsinger timer. *including cleansing in the middle* It was relatively simple. The only problem was my teammates, who were higher levels than me, with better guns dying out of stupidity and carelessness. Everytime. I'm the only one shooting the knights, while my dumbass totem partner is shooting at a wall, not wondering why he's getting hurt from above. I had to cover his back, and front while fighting, and dodging the knight's boomtube. Ironically, he later died from thrall molestation, because I had to rotate. He was shooting at acolytes, when they weren't an immediate threat anyway, and ignored his radar like an amateur. The fact I held my own with an auto rifle. *even when i ran out of ammo* and secured the totem from enemies by myself while my teammates died across the room, or nearby, makes me finally realize why lfg requirements are so high. When there are morons, there is failure. So thank those individuals. This is REMINDING me of those GHALLY ONLY LOBBIES from year 1. it took me forever to get one, and when i finally join the numerous elitist lobbies, The people requiring them play worse than the people in lobbies without an GHALLY Requirement. 293 or 295+ Light Required for a lvl 290 Raid? So now I have to unnecessarily grind strikes, so i can join a group that either sucks donkey balls, OR have their heads so far up their own asses that I have to take off my own mic to prevent braincell loss, OR if I'm lucky skilled individuals, who posted out of general consensus, and even that's a game of chance. RNG Guardians is what lfg should be called now. Random Number Generated Guardians. 1 out of 10 raids you join will have a legendary/exotic group that has guardians with skill enough to actually complete the raid without a dozen or more wipes. Yup. This is what being a solo player in Destiny looks like now. Everyone has grouped up and forced me to grind STRIKES for gear that is near impossible to obtain to continue progression. My Former Destiny Friends/Group have Internet problems, financial problems with living expenses, Abandonment issues regarding year 1, and flat out hate the game. That's Four reasons for Four people. I wouldn't give two shits about the lfg requirements, if I had any one of those friends online today, but i don't. Life Lesson: FML[/quote] I am crap at game but play it as I feel it should be you want someone who thinks doesn't like short cuts (4 fear of missing something ) then I am willing to play have over 4500 hrs gameplay yep am addicted my problem am over 65

People ask for 295+ because the oryx fight is recommended 300 light... And if you don't have enough damage you will never beat it

"When there are morons, there is failure". So, so, so epic! Sir, you have won many internetz today! I salute you.

The raid was 4 manned by a team around 195-197 and one of them and s 12 years old, the legend himself (slayerage and his team) and 2 of them took out oryx not 6 not 4 but 2, from what I've seen its not hard just doing your job and not running a Rambo.

try court oryx - any level - does not matter if you have no runes, good stuff still drops - well, it will get you up to 295 anyway, did for me. LFG is too elitist, should be various avenues to top light levels but Bungie have their tongue too far up LFG arses to ever change.

A group of 6 between 288 and 292 can finish the raid no problem. If you're group is in that range and they can't do it, find a new group.

12hours -> 284 to 290. You were doing something wrong ;)
