It was listed as a raid in the datamined info, but Bungie confirmed it was a whole new "thing". It will be interesting to see what the Arena is like and if Bungie is going to allow matchmaking. I understand their stance on matchmaking with the raids, but they still should have allowed it for mic users.
The reason everyone is looking for people with Gjally is because it reduces each section of the raids down to a few minutes of work for the primary boss for each section. Also, if you are 32 it means you have picked up Raid gear from the Crota raid (the ONLY way outside of Iron Banner gear to get to 32 light level).
Case and point: I played VoG Hard with a team of mostly 30-31 players new to VoG Hard (NO ONE with Gjally) and we could barely make a dent in the Templar. When I ...
That and Xur has pretty terrible rolls on Exotic Armor stats and perks. You can get better armor from the engrams he sells than directly buying an armor piece (or upgrading one through him).
Xur just exists to pick up the slack for people who cannot play the Nightfalls or Raids regularly to net the Exotic drops. The bastard needs to sell Ghorn so that everyone can catch up though. It is the ONLY effective weapon against the Raid bosses (Templar, Atheon, and Crota most specifi...
The healing only occurs randomly at the bottom half of the mag. Red Death is guaranteed heal on kill (hence its use during Crota Hard - Thralls are easy regen fuel).
Since the last patch all Auto Rifles took a huge dump from what they once were. Up for Anything was one of the best primaries I had until the last patch (and me getting a hold of MIDA). You really are better off in most cases with a Scout or Pulse Rifle now for mid to long range, ARs have been boned to the short ...
If you missed Red Death it is the next best thing. Combine it with more common pieces of Armor with perks for healing (picking up orbs, melee attacks, etc.) and you'll be set for Crota (especially hard). Red Death is definitely better, but there are alternatives.
I already had Armamentarium for my Titan (got as an Engram reward with my Warlock), but that was pre-Dark Below and I never got around to upgrading it. Spent Motes last week to get 3 Armor Engrams and got the upgraded Armamentarium, a Crest of Alpha Lupi for my Hunter, and a duplicate Starfire for my Warlock (scrapped for the shard).
Suros is currently nerfed because of the last patch crapafying Auto Rifles, but if you don't have it it is still a good gun for PvE patrolli...

World tendencies while online in Demon's Souls were affected by EVERYONE and averaged across how everyone played, so 90% of the time while online most areas were "grey" never fully White or Black meaning the special events for those extremes never happened. However, the developer had the ability on special days to force the WT fully White (Winter Solstice) or Black (Halloween) regardless of what players did to shift the WT.

Exotic Bounties are great except for the forced PvP requirements on them. I think that every Exotic Bounty with a PvP requirement should have a PvE "out" equivalent that can be done in lieu of the PvP one. I like the multiple step bounties otherwise. Eris' Urn of Sacrifice bounty is fun as hell despite the lackluster gauntlets reward. Give us more of these with better rewards Bungie!
Xur is fine until you have most of what he sells, then he is only good for Heav...
Meh. I might roll a couple Chest Engrams since the Motes are good for nothing else. If I get nothing I get free shards (lots of my Exotics need them anyway).
I just think it is ludicrous to use a sniper rifle as primary. There is no reason to limit yourself this much when there are Scout Rifles with MUCH faster reload and larger clips and almost as much range and DPS. The thing is a useless Kinetic to boot - at least if it had an element it could see some usefulness.
The PS4 (unlike the PS3) also supports HDDs formatted as exFAT for backup use. exFAT has improvements over FAT/FAT32 in that there is no more 4GB file size limit among other things. This makes PS4 backups go a little faster as the system is not breaking the backup up into 4GB chunks.
It must have been a typo - PS4 is only mentioned once in the article. You can play them on PS3 and Vita, NOT the PS4.
The PS3 will run ALL PSOne Classics, the Vita however has limited compatibility with certain titles for some reason.

It is something that is difficult to prove because it is something that can be influenced from multiple sources including if the child is bullied causing them to become more aggressive as a defense mechanism or if they are raised in an already violent household. There are too many factors that can contribute. With some kids with severe mental issues violent games don't help matters, but again it is not the sole contributor and again in the end the responsibility rests squarely on the shou...
I added it to my Steam wishlist. I'm holding out for a Steam sale, but Cities is what SimCity should have been. EA has this anti-Midas like touch to take wonderful developers and games and turn them to crap.

Post-EA - Crappola, DRM-ridden, DLC-grubby trash

"6 people in a raid. Shouldn't take hours."
When NO ONE knows what they're doing and you are wiping time and time and time again, then yes it can take hours. Trust me I've been on the receiving end of that kind of crap-hammer on more than one Strike. People need to learn to communicate as well as listen.
Also, WTF on your Crucible match? I don't know if that was because of lag or if the game glitched to all h...
"Word of Crota + Praedyth's Revenge + Truth"
That's great if you are able to raid. I have only been able to run VoG Hard once and that was a chore to get with people via the LFGs. We had a decent group until the Exotic chest and all but two of us dropped out, leaving two people to scramble over the LFGs for 4 more to finish. I was hoping my double rolls would net me Atheon's Epilogue so I can easily finish the Thorn bounty - I have a decent void fusion, ...
This just shows how far a human being can go to overcome a metal or physical limitation. Congrats to him. This is an amazing feat (no pun intended). He did do this on Normal (hence the chalice), but still amazing considering how he had to play.
How?
It is a heavily online only game so I'd imagine there would be syncing issues between the game and the server. I can only see this working if they only allow suspend/resume from orbit where being out of sync right at resume wouldn't be detrimental.
Icebreakers ahoy!
No burn on the Heroic either. Void burn sucks for the nightfall as there are (1) very few Void Legendary and Exotics that are of any use and (2) the Nexus has numerous Minotaurs and Praetorians which have very powerful Void attacks (only stronger with the burn). Be careful at the cheese spot for the boss as there is an Axis Minotaur or Praetorian (depending on difficulty) that comes up behind you at regular intervals to push you into the boss arena.
If you have the motes (which you probably do) buy the Chest Engram he is selling this round. If you have enough motes for 3 or more you'll increase your chances of getting a Hunter Chest piece and if you play all three classes your rolls will have less of a chance of being wasted since you'll get something for someone (unless it is a duplicate in which case you got a Shard for motes).
