The reunion (Destiny)

Last night after racing, everybody who originally was part of the DBO PS4 flawless raider crew got together and ran Vault of Glass again, with year one weapons and subclasses, on Hard mode.

It was really fun and I personally had a great time using my old favorites: Found Verdict, Corrective Measure, Fatebringer, Vision of Confluence, and Black Hammer. Obviously it's not completely the same (my Black Hammer ran out of ammo on the templar), but it was a nice way to revisit a fun moment.

And yeah, I totally get the 'social' aspect of the game and why that makes Destiny special. It wasn't so much doing the Vault of Glass, but doing it with awesome people.

Some things that would not have happened had this been Year One:

CruelLegacy was the first to die. He claims he ran out of Hand Cannon ammo :-p
He also did not dance once.
I wiped us on the Gorgon Maze. Twice.
Nobody died on the jumping puzzle.
I died getting a relic.
Cyber got the most insane set of drops possible during the run. As did I. Corrective measure from Gatekeeper, Red Death and Mythoclast from Atheon. Three people got exotics from the Gorgon chest.
The Templar teleported.

-Atheon teleported us.
-Gjallarhorn is still Gjallarhorn.
-The Devil You Know is just as fantastic as it was the day I got it; Praedyth's Revenge was not. :(
-At 11:00 into the stream, Cyber got marked randomly (no puddle in sight), and managed to cleanse in an awesome way at the last possible instant. We're talking hundredths of a second...
-VoG is still the most fun Raid. Coordination and skill trump going through the movements perfectly any day of the week.
