What quests? What catalysts? (Destiny)

This isn't a testament to my not being monofocused. I'm monofocused on getting leveled for the raid on two platforms.

Oh, me too. And that’s the one thing I really hope Bungie addresses going forwards. It’s the one snag in the “take your time” mindset. Our blind raid was fucked because I guess waiting three weeks without watching videos about the raid is too much to ask. Still had a great time because raiding is great, blind or no, but it’s frustrating to miss out on a truly blind raid.

"Fucked" might not be the right word. The majority of the mechanisms were sussed out by those of us who were REALLY blind. (Only Kupkake and Mex had any knowledge about what was coming... and they both missed (or possibly intentionally left out) some pretty key steps. )

You're right - it wasn't TOTALLY blind. I feel like it was 20-400 vision, or so, though. :)

No, you're right. That was hyperbolic. I spent five minutes being quietly very upset, then tried to let it go, mostly successfully. I guess we differ in opinion on how much the blind players figured out, but I have a pretty particular expectation about a blind raid. Even "there's an exotic chest in this room somewhere" is more than I want to know.

I still had a blast, and I'm looking forward to having a go at the final boss here pretty soon! Still just a little bummed that actually being blind is too much to ask for an event that's marked bind and had numerous threads devoted to setting up a time and finding players. If it was just a matter of not having enough actually blind players, I can be more forgiving, but if that's the case it certainly wasn't clear to me.

I'm eager to play again tonight, and I've spent some of the day working on getting my Xbox Hunter leveled up to tackle it over there.
