The Raids are the toughest challenge in Destiny & require a lot of patience with an element of luck.
The first section involves standing on a plate to build a bridge so you can go across the void. Then you enter an underground section which involves lighting lamps along the way with a constant flow of enemies attacking you.
We were stuck on this section for quite a long time, the lamps only stay on for a short while & when they run out they explode. A couple of times Ryanski or I managed to get to the end where you reach a plate you need to stand on to build another bridge, here you get overrun with Thrall & Knights.
We eventually found a tactic that worked with two groups of three, the first group running ahead & trying to get to the last lamp. The second slower group would advance once the lamps have exploded & the Thralls have dispersed. We all then met up at the last lamp reviving players along the way to stand on the plate to build the bridge. The bridge was building slowly & one by one we were getting killed but thankfully Ryanski & Bishimitsu were still alive & everyone was shouting run Run RUN !!!
The bridge had been built & thankfully both of them made it across to reach the raid checkpoint & respawn all of us ready for the next section.
I was lucky enough to get Willbreaker's Fist Gauntlets as a reward for completing the first section.
The next section had three plates with the centre plate building a bridge & the other two controlling totems which would explode if no-one was on the plate. After a few attempts we called it a night at this section to hopefully try again Sunday evening.
Frustrating, tearing our hair our moments during the raid but good fun.
Destiny – Crota Raid
Mid Week Challenge 311214
Every Wednesday on UGVM someone (usually Zo) will post the MWC (Mid Week Challenge). Here you set yourself weekly challenges to encourage you to play. The following week you report back on how you done on the previous week challenges & set yourself some new challenges to try and complete.
This Week
1. Complete Knack - I think I've only got two chapters to go.
2. Reach Act 3 in Watch_Dogs - not sure how many story missions I need to complete. Keep getting side tracked by gang hideouts & various other icons.
3. Get back to playing Destiny - I've not played for over a week. PSN being down & holidays have messed up my gaming timetable.
Destiny – The Servitor that will not die.
Destiny – Level 31
I was disappointed with the Dark Below expansion because it introduced new armour with a higher light rating thus making all of my equipped armour useless.
I spent some strange coins purchasing upgrades for my exotic chest armour & auto rifle. The purple legendary items had no upgrade path so I had to earn vanguard marks & purchase armour from the traders. Typically after spending 120 marks to purchase a new helmet the game decided to reward me with a purple helmet engram in my next vanguard strike.
I'm still waiting for Xur to have IceBreaker & need to purchase another heavy machine gun with the new higher stats.
Truthfully I exoected more content, I would have been happy with a whole new planet to explore but what we got is a chase through three story missions, a strike & ending with the raid I assume to kill Crota.
The Vault of Glass raid is very enjoyable & I'm looking forward to playing the new raid once the UGVM guys have levelled up.
I now have a love/hate relationship with the game I love the gameplay but hate some of the design choices Bungie have decided. I understand MMOs evolve over time & it is still a fairly new genre to me. I just wished all my efforts to date on upgrading my equipment was not wiped away with the release of an expansion. I fully expect when the next expansion arrives Bungie will do the same but like the addict I am I'll still come back.
I've enjoyed the 200+ hours I've put into the game but I have other games on the shelf to enjoy. I'll still do the weekly strikes & I will be back for the raids once the UGVM players are ready.
