Sadly I think only the fireteam leader holds the save, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm still definitely willing to help, but I'd suggest starting a new topic to try and get recruits :)

This hasn't been my experience. Everyone should have the last checkpoint you reached.

Yes, that's what I've been reading online as well. Thanks!

Take charge, and tell everybody the plan. Send two of your level 30s through the left portal, and have them focus fire on the gatekeeper. Don't kill any other enemies. Just before the gatekeeper dies, one person should head out of the portal to avoid getting the debuff, while the remaining person kills the gatekeeper, grabs the relic, and exits. Behind the portal is a safe place to avoid enemies before you kill the gatekeeper.

While this is happening, the 4 outside should be able to defend the portal.

After the relic holder comes out, minotaurs will start spawning and walking to the conflux. You may want to not put anybody on minotaur duty and just let them go. With an unfamiliar group, an extra defender can be helpful. If you feel like you will be slower, have one person at the top taking them out. Standing behind their spawn I think works best, since that cuts you off from snipers.

Repeat with the right portal. Send through the relic holder since the mark of the void will be applied instantly, and the other player will need a cleanse. Use your relic super on the gatekeeper, which should take him down about halfway, while the other player finishes him off. One the gatekeeper is dead, the relic holder should cleanse the other player, then head out and immediately defend the middle.

Once everybody is outside, the two relic holders should take out the Vex until the portal open, and then focus on one portal each. The stomp attack works very well and you can take out Praetorians all by yourself.

If you push a Praetorian back through the portal, it will respawn right at the conflux and begin sacrificing. This could be advantageous or not depending on your situation, since it won't attack you while it's sacrificing itself.

Four 30's and two max-weapon-29's couldn't coordinate enough to get past the two gates. UGH.

Since I played and didn't complete, does that mean I have the Hard Gatekeeper checkpoint, or do you have to be the Fireteam leader to "keep" the progress checkpoint?

Anyone free to help tonight?

It has to be the same one. So you'd have to beat the gatekeeper part.

... If the online Advisor-tracker thing actually reported it that way. There are four sequential blocks that get filled in, but their sequence doesn't correspond to the actual drop-reward; i.e. The second block to get filled in may or may not be the second drop in the raid. Mine shows a blank fourth slot, but I'm missing the third one, not the fourth.

They know which boss-checkpoint dropped loot for you, because if you do it again you get nothing; so why can't they report specifically which drop you've received in the Advisor?

If you run hard mode without running normal mode, the game will roll you two drops from each of these. This is advantageous because you now get two rolls at hard mode loot, instead of only one if you had played once on normal, then hard.

Wow, really? I had assumed that it would do one roll from each difficulty loot table, but if what you say is true, that's a major game-changer since I'm chasing the Warlock raid helm (last piece I need to hit 30)…

It has to be the same one. So you'd have to beat the gatekeeper part.

Ok cool. So if we can't get a crew together, I can just join someone with a Gatekeeper checkpoint and knock it out?

I have a Hard mode Gorgon checkpoint..

Are you offering to pass it on, or is it on a character that needs to finish the Raid? Are you free tonight?

I'm coming home from the desert this evening, so I may not be on right at 9pm pacific, just FYI.

Both, or one or the other, but that's kind've late for me here on the east coast. :-/

Yeah I know it's late. Might you be on to at least pass it over?

... They are sepera from the chests, yes?

So if I'm missing just one of the four "drops", do I have to replay the exact one I missed, or will any of the boss-drops fill the slot?

In the "Advisors" page, it just shows the first three slots full, but I know I missed one of the first two, not the last one. So what's the best way to get my missing reward?

The four drops from the Oracles, Templar, Gatekeeper, and Atheon are all individually tracked on each of the difficulties. That means if you somehow didn't get one by joining a raid and skipping ahead, you need to play the specific section to get the drop. You can get one drop per difficulty per character per week.

If you run hard mode without running normal mode, the game will roll you two drops from each of these. This is advantageous because you now get two rolls at hard mode loot, instead of only one if you had played once on normal, then hard.

Chests you can get one drop per character per week. If you get a chest on normal, you can't get it again on hard, except for the Exotic Chest in the Gorgon's maze.

For max loot, run the Vault of Glass every week from the start with every character you have on hard. Don't do any normal runs unless you have beaten hard.

Luckily on this one you can see I join the Fireteam JUST before they cleared it, got Corrective Measure out of that great timing :-D

LOL, THAT explains why I felt like my Vault-rewards were so lacking; I entirely MISSED one! Just confirmed on my Bnet profile "Advisors", I've only got 3 out of 4 rewards for both Normal and Hard.

Anyone wanna do it again before the reset?! :D

I DO have a second character to do it on :)

Tonight? Also, you have any idea on my missing reward question?
