I've done the raid on hard as well as normal a multitude of times with more than one character. I know the Vault of Glass like the back of my hand, yet I know people that purchased the game while I was a level 29 and have surpassed me in rank because of the loot system in said raid. (This week was my 18th completion across various characters on various dificulties; I have gotten two pairs of boots so far.) I am VERY hesitant to buy the "DLC" to a game which has given me this sort of experience. I love Destiny, but I hate the loot system in the raid(s). Bungie should implement a system in which once a player has completed the raid at least ten times on any difficulty he or she should be GUARANTEED at least one armor drop at a random reward point within said raid. This will give those like me more incentive to play yet hender the happenstance of everyone being a level 30 with ease.
In conclusion, I really love this game, but am growing angry with the helpless feeling I get when I see less dedicated players pass my level and get to 30. I'm still happy for them for beating the system, but it is still frustrating. I want this game to work, but right now it just isn't.
THE IRON BANNER WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN ME TO RANK 30!
--Rant: over
-
I feel you man, have 3 Level 29s and its been awhile.
-
If it makes you feel better, I'm more dedicated than you [i]and[/i] have three 30's. I'm just teasing. The RNG in this game can be a pain in the ass. You just have to run hard raid forever.
-
Your 29 tears are delicious.
-
Crota's end will put you over. If it follows the same formula. The normal (level 28) will reward Level 32 gear sans the helm which would probably be 30
-
Do hard only trust me. I got double gear drops. 20 % more chance of good drops on hard mode. I was doing normal before hard and that wasn't working out. took forever
-
Thank goodness i just completed collecting 200 tears
-
Coin system needs to be put in place for raid gear/weapons. RNG ALWAYS disappoints.
-
I hear ya. I wish I didn't have to do the vog to progress though.

I don't buy into the pity. You could've gotten the gloves from Iron Banner then just needed one more piece. The common misconception people make is playing the raid a couple times will land them all the equipment they need. This game is a grinding King. You will have to grind it to get the stuff you want, or give up and trade this game in. It took me over 10 raids to land my first piece of raid gear. I didn't complain, it wouldn't have gotten me anywhere. I kept grinding, now the raid doesn't offer me anything I care for, because I already have everything it offers.
-
You should have done the IB just for the gauntlets, that way you only need the chest. If your on PS4 I'll help you through hard raid with my 30, doing it in hard first gives double drops so it's better. Good luck
-
I'm waiting for the dark below to release to get that raid armor to get my other characters to level 30. Just because VOG is getting tedious...
-
I know the feeling I have not completed as many raids runs as you but have completed hard and normal but the only raid armor I have gotten was the gloves. I have got them 5 times now and it's a bit ridiculous. I have a buddy that plays but not nearly as much as I do and he did the iron banner and got the gloves and boots. The next day we did the raid and it was his second time doing it and he was dead for most of yet he got the chest piece and since he has a exotic helmet he could now be 30. But being how he doesn't really play that much he didn't even realize this and said he was going to use his other chest piece cause he likes the stats better lol. We work together and my other Co worker in my dept. is also is in the same boat as me not getting the drops we need for 30 and we still haven't told him yet almost a week later that he would be 30 if he leveled it up. Lol

I personally suck my own penis. Two months later im still 29 but i gonna say, i kinda love sucking it.

I've had a tough time finding info on it, but won't there be some sort of PvE bounty vendor/event that will lead to 30 reaching armor, in the Dark Below? Iron Banner gave people a chance in PvP, so hopefully they can create the same opportunity for co-op players.

December 9 there is a new shop coming to the tower. People are telling me that shop you can get a white armour and make it any rareity you want providing you collect the right stuff so changes can be made. As yet I have not found a bungie.net proof of this. But that does not mean what everyone is saying is not the truth.
-
That feeling bro....but I managed to get every gear for my titan & hunter later on.
-
Beacause you complained
-
What system you playing on
-
I did the raid with this guy who had never done raid, he had an exotic helmet, and IB leggings. He was lvl 26 and I thought he was really cool so me and my buds carried him. FIRST TIME HE EVER DID RAID he got the chest and gloves. [spoiler]i wasn't even mad, he had like 2100 grimore score and had no friends to do raid with[/spoiler]
-
Shoulda done iron banner
-
Only 18 total? That's why you haven't gotten everything
-
I'm 29 . And more than happy to stay there.
-
Yea read my mind mate! I'm in a very similar position to yourself. -blam- ing stuck at lvl 29 for weeks now.
-
what items are you missing? iron banner gave out hands and feet to help. next time it comes it will probably give out head and chest.
