I’m betting there are still revscene members playing Destiny. I’m hoping we can start a thread to match up players to run raids and weekly strikes here.
Much like LFG, some stats should be posted up. I’m putting age in, as there is a wide range of users here and many of the older players may want to pair with a bit older as well.

Console
Class
Level
Age
Have mic?
Times/Dates looking to run

I’ll put up mine to start:

PS4,Hunter,Lvl 28, age 35, Have Mic.

Looking to run weekly night fall and Vault of Glass on normal. Starting on the 23rd of Feb, can run anytime from 5pm to about 11pm. Looking for to play with people around my age if possible.

PM to exchange PSN.

I'm pretty set to give up on this game, but I've had awful experiences with the LFG websites. My only successful full VoG came from running with a group of people from 4chan, and I haven't tried again since. If there's enough interest here, I might be assed to give it a shot again. I might be better at nightfall than raids as I'm not fully suited to handling the Relic.

PS4/29T/Age 22/Can mic, but would prefer not to unless necessary. Have no age qualms, since my last successful raid I didn't know how old everyone was, but no one was an idiot.

man I was straight addicted to this game for like 4 months lol

starting to get real sick of it. only really do the weekly/nightfall/raids now

I like how u post age as well cause i usually put NO NOOBS/KIDS on LFG lol

destinylfg.net works pretty well for me. usually takes 10-15 mins to find a solid group.

I've beaten Atheon and Crota multiple times on Hard lol

ill still play on the 360 if anyone wants to play add VANSTERDAM420

One of the reasons I'm hoping to start up some groups here. At least here people have Revscene in common, and hopefully easier to find people that suit your play style.

I've never run the raid, ever. Super stoked to give it a shot, but I'd like to run a strike as well.

dude beats Crota on Hard.. SOLO

This run was insanely difficult. At the moment I don't know if it could be completed with a character anything short of level 32 Sunsinger Warlock with Starfire Protocol, Gjallarhorn, Ice Breaker, Red Death, Black Hammer, and a weapon with surplus. Other perks and items help (high discipline is very helpful, Apotheosis Veil, shoot to loot, Fatebringer, etc.) but they are only marginal advantages. Even with all this gear and the heavy ammo glitch, this run is absolutely insane level difficulty, and anybody who has tried it will certainly be able to attest to that. I doubt many who watch this will fully appreciate the difficulty of this challenge, but I strongly encourage you to try. From my knowledge, the only other character setup that could have the vaguest chance of making this run possible would be a Titan with the Armamentium and max discipline using magnetic grenades (Ghorn MG Ghorn MG on Crota's shield). I don't know if that is possible, but I believe it is the only other potential possibility.

There was much less "luck" in this run than it may seem. First of all, this took dozens of hours to perfect and accomplish. Secondly, most of the seemingly random aspects of the Crota fight can be influenced in some way by careful gameplay. There isn't a single thing I do in the Crota fight that isn't deliberate in some way, and oftentimes the right move had to be made within a matter of seconds. I believe that with perfect gameplay this could be recreated at least once an hour - the fight is relatively consistent, just extremely hard.

Finally, Warlocks suck and I hate them. I had to play on my friend's account (The Arpacan) in order to do this because I don't have any filthy Warlocks on my own tag, and I like it that way. While they are uniquely capable of soloing Heroic Crota as far as I can tell, I do not like anything about their abilities. I genuinely believe they are OP in both PvE and PvP, though much moreso in PvE. Maybe I'll make a video explaining why sometime. At any rate, the video is sc Slayerage playing on someone else's account. I didn't do the first sections on a Warlock because I didn't have to, and I believe they would have been easier by far (again, abyss aside) as a Warlock anyway.1

I owe this run to The Arpacan and just to be completely clear, he is awesome. Big thanks to him for letting me borrow his account pretty much any moment I wanted for the past week. He didn't have to do that or trust me with his account, so thanks very much to him.

I'm on PS4 and have 32 Warlock/Titan/Hunter.

We're usually one man short in our group. We tend to run VOG and Crota on Hard. So if anyone that's level 31+ needs a group PM me your PSN ID.

We usually run Crota on Normal, then attempt hard mode later in the week.

no point in doing normal first if you run Hard mode you get double the drops

If you don't have blackhammer/hunger of crota, much higher drop chance in normal. Couple of guys I play with are still chasing those two weapons.

I've never run the VOG, so looking to run it on normal next week in the evening. Anyone who's up for it pm me.

I'm held back on level because no groups for raid gear. But at least IB is up if anyone wants to put a team together and go at it. Thorn makes it easy.

Just wait for the final part where you have to do the Strike to kill the special Wizard. That was a pain in the ass.

I gave up the thorn bounty on my hunter.

When I got it on my lock:
Atheon's epilogue
Final Rest 2 (Void Fusion)
Nova bomb
In Control (nova bombing guys standing on the flags...)

1 hour later, crucible part of the bounty done.

Yes solo'ing the reckoning strike on Epic, took longer

Ran the VOG for the first time with an RS member and his group, was great.

Going to probably do the nightfall tonight, but gotta run the raid again soon. Didn't get a single weapon or armor drop!

The re-balancing of weapons has made Pulse Rifles viable in the Crucible. Bad Juju is a monster, and Super Pox VLO is a two-burst kill. In PvE, shotguns will rape, and you can clear the Psion Flayer strike quickly with good shotguns focused on one ultra at a time.

Also, the Crucible has opened up Inferno Control, capture times are shortened, and assists are not worth points. The big one is the removal of radar, making the threat of being nailed by a Super less important, and focuses on knowing how to defend control points, like this...I didn't think I'd get away with a triple.

I recently bought a PS4 and am currently playing this.

I'm sorta newb. Haven't tried anything aside from story missions, so I don't know what the raids are like, or what strike missions and all that stuff are yet haha.

I think I'm about level 28 or 29 Hunter Nightstalker.

40 Titan with 294 light over here. Not quite raid ready due to lack of good gear, but am running strikes to get it. PSN Gouf-Troop if you have Three of Coins to burn and want to try getting the special strike gear. I got the Darkblade Helm and it looks cool.

I added you a few mins ago.

I'm finally starting to learn more about the game. Been playing the Iron Banner today, and got to rank 3 and got myself my wolf hunter hood ;D

Currently at 271 light Nightstalker.

I'm hoping more RS people are still playing. I'm hoping to EVENTUALLY do raids, and wouldn't mind having non-pubs to play Heroic Strikes with.

PS4: PuYang_7

I'm on almost every night around 9pm. Almost all day on Sundays and Mondays.

Will follow up on this tonight. I could use a Nightstalker for farming Omnigul, that tether is a necessity to try and get the special pulse rifle that can drop from her. And it would be fun to run Three of Coin farming with someone.

298 light now without ever doing the raid though :pokerface:

Sounds good! Just... a fair warning, I'm not the most "fun" to play with. I have no Mic, and don't really intend to socialize haha. I will follow directions and try not to die too much ;]

I'm currently 283 light if I use my 294 atk Rare pulse rifle that dropped yesterday! But I generally use my "Does not Bow" Legendary Auto Rifle (285 atk) that dropped from the heroic strike 2 days ago.

Noob question, why is it necessary for Nightstalker tether for Omnigul to drop the legendary pulse rifle?

Because you can kill her twice. You have to DPS her fast enough to keep her from moving towards the last room, but the first kill drops engrams, and then she revives where you normally kill her. The first kill also gives you the buff that causes legendaries to drop more often, which goes away since you must pick the strike from orbit every time.

And no worries, I only use a mic when invited to Nightfall parties. If it's strikes, no instructions necessary. 4Head
