The one kill mission I played with a 27 helped a lot!

Played a little of everything last night, which ended in the wee hours of the morning and the realization that I was one piece of iron away from reaching 25, so a late night mission to Mars was in order.

EDIT: I'll be glad to help if I can.

How?! I'm still 23... :p

I really hope I manage hitting Raid level on Friday, but I'm so short on Marks I don't think I'll be able to... I'll need someone to help me power through some Kill Missions and Strike Playlists, I think.

Do all the bounties and side missions you can, and the strike playlist to get vanguard rep and marks. Make sure you are NOT wearing a faction item (dead orbit, FWC, etc), otherwise those points go to them and you don't want that.

Then, go buy the legendary items you need from your vanguard leader.
Upgrade them as you can, as that raises your light level too.

You can also get some easy legendary gear by doing queen bounties.

I went from 25 to 27 in a day because of all that. I completely forgot about my marks and had almost 200 of them saved up.

I hate that I have to sit this one out, but I have family in town this weekend. Hopefully this isn't a one time thing.

I'm in the exact same boat. Here's hoping we can make this a semi-weekly thing for those of us who can't do the first one.

I can move if I need to. Either system is fine.

Hopefully we will know by thursday/friday on the final lineups

I'm on 360, but didn't throw my name in because I won't be home until 11:30 PM EST or maybe 12.

If people want to play late, or maybe enough people show up for a west coast group I'm in.

28 Titan, both classes maxed.

I'm keeping track and will be moving these groups around a LOT.

I'd prefer to play with people who don't know what's coming, so we can all be surprised and figure it out on the fly.

There's a reason that it took the first group 11 hours to do it. Heck, I've done it, and trying to remember some of the steps was difficult for me last night, when Team DBO conquered the vault.

I expect the first time to be a failure.

Don't be too uppity about who you do it with, as you're likely not going to have an easy time assembling a crew of fresh recruits, and you'll have a nearly impossible time getting past the first part alone...

I'm not trying to come across as uppity. Part of it is just paying attention to what Pete and Cory have said about remaining spoiler-free. If discovery is part of what makes it fun, I'd like to experience some of that.

Do most people who plan on playing on Saturday fall into that category?

Multiple runs, but like I told you, I'll let you figure things out at your own pace...

My PS4 character won't be ready for a while. :(

Hey Beorn,

Please count me in with a group (if possible) that would like to experience this Raid spoiler-free for all us first timers.

BTW, thank you immensely for taking all this time and organizing this event, what a special time it'll be.

Lastly, my Sunslinger Warlock is ready at level 26 and shall have all the perks maxed out by then. :)

I'm looking at the roster, and I find my self wondering how we are all going to get together and make this work? I ask because I would like to join up before 12 P.M EST, so I could better be equated with my team mates. Personally I think it would be good for all of us if we were to practice (in threes of course), off some Vex based strikes or story missions to warm up.

Opening the gate will give you plenty of practice. ;-)

As for your question: I'll have everyone coordinate with their Fireteam Leaders once we get the groups finalized, and I certainly recommend everyone exchange Friend Requests at that time as well.
