Six person fireteam, yeah. That tends to be what's recommended as well, although I learned courtesy my friend Brian last night that apparently some people ran it as a three person team (!!!). Level 26 minimum, 27 or 28 preferred, yadda yadda, it's an MMO raid

I believe it's 24 minimum, 26 recommended by Bungie, 28 perferred.

26 is the level attached to it, so level 24 players would be operating at 50% damage

 

I learned last night trying to run the 28 Heroic Weekly Strike as a 26 that operating on 50% damage is Not The Best. A mix of 26s and 27s would probably be the optimal challenge/fun ratio.

Oh certainly, I just meant that the level that you have to get to in order to unlock the option to walk through the front door is 24, not that you'd be any good once you got in. :)

Okay, so possibly either juv3nal or ByDefault in the sixth slot depending on timing/gearing

 

What time would work for everyone? I was thinking like 8 PM EST Saturday but I have no idea where all you people are

Pretty sure Griddle is in the UK, which is why I never play with him during the week. I was imagining that we would be playing mid-day on Saturday to compensate for time zone differences + accommodate the seemingly long playtime of the raid. I don't really want to be playing Destiny at 1am in the morning.

Okay, so I have:

- me

- korax

- griddleloi

- joncole

- denial

 

One more person! Step right up, shoot some mans!

 

I'd love to but it's probably going to be a poor time for me. I'm working shitfs as well right now which makes it worse. 

 

Unless you're playing between 7-8am GMT or 7-9pm GMT I probably can't join.

I can probably swing that. I'll check with my wife just in case there's something I'm forgetting about, otherwise I'm in.

Anyone want to run a level 26 weekly strike tonight? Really want the strange coins.

A surprise visit from out-of-town family means I may or may not be free tomorrow, depending on when we can all agree is a good time to get together.

Hot tip for the Weekly Strike: The canyon that leads into the boss arena narrows and then drops down a bit (it's lit up by a few glow stick things, for further landmarking). If you back your way into that nook, or even double-jump back up the drop, most of the enemies in the arena will de-aggro, even going so far as to just break off pursuit and run back into the main area. It's still going to take some time to complete, but you can solo the strike on lvl 28 difficulty as long as you exercise some caution.

 

Because of that, I had enough Coins to buy the Ice Breaker. JonCole and I rocked the final step for the Thorn, I rocked a few rounds in the Crucible to get the Bad Juju, and yesterday I completed the bounty for the Pocket Infinity, so my exotic collection is coming along nicely.

I got invited by some random northerners last night to do some sections from the Vault of Glass (I guess because I was the only lvl28 dude they could find in the Tower) and had a really fun time. Everyone was using their mics and were helpful to point out what was going on for those of us that hadn't played the Raid before. 

 

There were 3 or so chests that we got to open, and I got the Chatterwhite shader for beating the boss. 

 

Some of you have added me on PSN (supermouse104), so if I'm online at 7pm GMT tonight send me an invite/message and I'd love to join in!
