Great Lighthouse Run! (Destiny)

My first perfect trials run with no losses! Big thanks to Zero and Blacktiger (not sure where the numbers in your gt go :). It was also Tigers first Lighthouse. We played well as a team, got those clutch revives, and did a little exploring. I never realized I could get up here so I thought I'd try one of those fancy HUDless pics. How's the RED chroma look? Like the blood of my enemies!

Awesome, sounds like fun! Doesn't look like I'll be able to play this weekend (again) but I should be able to find some time to experience Trials with the updates next weekend. Any thoughts on how the revive nerf have changed things?

Revive timing doesn't feel that different to me. You just have to be a bit more careful.

Agreed. It's not really noticable. Didn't see as many quick revive armors though. I'm glad they fixed the drive thru revives, those were the worst.

Great job! Now we need to start a list of people how haven't gotten to the lighthouse. The list is quickly shrinking.

I know Kermit and I are on that list...

I'm more than willing to "help" anyone who wants to try. I'm really an average player, so the help part is not indicative of my ability to carry, rather more of just filling a spot on the team. :) I don't really take it that seriously. If we go GREAT!, if not oh well.

I'd say your best shot would be to get Squid and Korny together and stay fairly close to Squid to provide support. Korny is too aggressive to follow for the average joe, and it would most likely tank your k/d to go at his speed. :)

I usually tried to hang out with one of my teammates on this run, flipping between Zero and Blacktiger. If I went lone wolf, I'd bug out as quickly as I could when out numbered and meet back with them.

I've played with a lot of good players. When I say "good" I mean, better than me. So basically most of DBO are good players. Thought I had a chance when I played with Squid and Zero but luck was not with us. So I've resorted to brute forcing Trials. I'm just going to play so much trials that I randomly get lucky with the match making. One day.

Zero likes to schedule runs from around 9am CST to 12 on Saturdays because you seem to get easier matches inside that window of time.

Never forever! I actually felt good this last weekend! We got to 7 wins with no losses before we started to lose. And I was actually on the top of the scoreboard instead of the bottom! And to make it even better, I got about half my kills with a sniper! So all this to say that there is hope for ANYONE if I can do that...

Not for you!

You mentioned that everyone here is good. I'm really not. It would take an enormous amount of luck for me to reach the Lighthouse.

Trials is the last Destiny mode I've learned to like, and that's only for the camaraderie (and the improved rewards it gives now).

All I can say is that you should never doubt your potential! you never know until it happens.

Don't forget that those 3 matches that we played were against people on an 8-0 run, and you guys were holding your own pretty well...
