My first Vault of Glass run we cheesed the Templar with the Warlock grenade trick.
My first Crota's end run we cheesed the 2nd bridge and pulled the ethernet cable on Crota.
It wasn't really by choice but just happened that way for me.
I think it would be fun going into the new Raid knowing anything about it and just see what happens.
What's your story?

[b]Edit 2[/b]: 500 comments!
[b]Edit 3: [/b]Thank you everyone for sharing your stories. I'm amazed that most people didn't cheese it for the first time. Now let's break out the crackers and spread the cheese while we reminisce about year 1 and anticipate year 2.
-
My group will beat it legit and then spread the cheese on. My first Vault raids were before cheeses were widely known, at least by us.
-
First 2 times legit then a whole load of cheese intake
-
I didn't cheese vault of glass but I did cheese crota at the bridge
-
-
Nope, I did it legit
-
Not the first one for Crotas End, but after cheesing became more popular then yeah lol
-
I ran VoG after the cheese was patched and in CE dang we cheesed the lamps, bridge and crota himself with the lan cable haha

Edited by Edge: 8/9/2015 8:52:39 PMMy first VoG at level 26 attained no cheese what so ever. That was a very fun time. Crota wasn't special. I did it legit. Just not as fun.
-
Nope I ran VoG before cheese was a thing in this game
-
Nope. Did it legit

Edited by Novel: 8/9/2015 7:05:19 PMFor my first vault of glass (over 200 completions ago!) I had a friend who knew what he was doing and guided us through. That very same fireteam went through crota months later and we vowed to each other to not research ANYTHING prior to crota. That was by far the best experience I've ever had in the raids. The night crota dropped it took us almost 9 hours to finish the whole thing (keep in mind this is back when we were level 30 and 3 levels weaker than all enemies, trust me being level 30 sword bearer against a 33 crota is NOT fun). The crota engagement alone took us hours, and xbox live was actually forcing updates on the 360, so one by one we were being disconnected and being forced to restart due to oversoul. Finally our chance came with me being host and a friend quickly levelling to 31 to be our sword master. Final down came for crota after ogres, and low and behold it's my turn to get disconnected for the update RIGHT when crota goes to his knees. I quickly texted my fire team and let them know what happened and they were replying with "get back on now! Crota is glitched!" I quickly returned back (though not in time) and found my fireteam actually waited for me out of loyalty and missed the opportunity to kill him. An hour or so later we killed him. We actually claim to be the FIRST fire team to discover the lag out glitch to kill crota but we decided not to ruin it or post it and left it to others to discover. But I firmly think we were the first to find that glitch ( maybe 7 hours after the normal crota launched). Anyways moral of the story, find a group of good gaming friends who are skilled and play the raid with them with ZERO research and you will have both a ton of fun, and develop strong relationships with those gamers if you don't already.

Cheesed Atheon on hard mode for my first raid completion when Crota came out we did it legit for a long time.
-
-
Please... People are still Cheesing.. If you're not doing the encounter as intended (sniping from afar, hiding on top of the Templar, de-spawning enemies) you're a filthy cheesy nugget.
-
No. There were no cheeses when I did VOG the first time.
-
Yes. Had a team that was doing the whole relic from the side hobgoblin platforms thing. Later had a team who cheesed Atheon. I knew it was scrubby and have been against it since.
-
We didn't cheese Templar but the members of my team did push Atheon of the edge
-
There weren't any out
-
My first raid was vog.. And I got destiny at christmas. So no, I didn't push atheon off the edge.

Edited by Sneak Attack 65: 8/9/2015 8:36:39 PMYup! I joined a group for the Atheon checkpoint, and I sat in the back while they pushed him off the map. I learned nothing about the raid from that.
-
First raid was VoG. Nope.
-
No - finished both raids legit, at both difficulties, before I cheesed it. THEN I cheesed away!
-
Yes that's what the people teaching me how to do vog did lol throw grenades push me off the side
-
Cheese I used the first time I did a raid: cheddar
