With The Dark Below just around the corner, I know a bunch of us will be chomping at the bit to dive into the Hellmouth and lay waste to Crota and his minions! Since the expansion lands on a Tuesday, most of us won't be able to dedicate the requisite time for a fresh raiding experience until the weekend. This should also give us a little bit of time to work on Eris' story missions and possibly rank up some gear before we start.

Therefore, we're setting up a Crota's End Raiding Expedition on Sunday, December 14th. We drop from orbit at 8:30am PST. Sign up below if you're interested! There are a few requisites to this event, however:

• Light Level 30 – Crota's End starts at 30. By the time we launch, your Guardian must be at least Light 30. You should also have all weapons at 300+ AP.
  
• No Spoilers! – A massive part of the enjoyment for a first-time raid experience is the sense of teamwork and exploration. Don't watch videos, read articles, or even look at posts about the raid. Everyone goes in cold. No exceptions.
  
• Clear Your Schedule – This is going to take most of the day. Please expect to set aside 7-8 hours. We'll take some breaks as needed, of course, but please plan accordingly.
  
• Microphone – Communication is key, so your mic must be in working order.
  
• Excellency – Plan on being excellent to one another. We're going to fail. A lot. Laugh it off and move along, it's all part of the game.

If you meet these criteria and are excited to dive into the Hellmouth, post below and we'll get you added to the roster. If there's demand for 360 and PS4 teams, we'll build rosters for those, too.

XenosKB - Hunter level 30.

Yes.

So I'm not going to be able to get The Dark Below for some time. For my first run, everybody's okay with pretending they haven't done it 10 times by then, right?

And nobody's going to talk about ANY of the DLC on the forum, right?

...Right?

I'd love to do a 360 raid.

Count me as a very strong maybe.
GT: DiscipleN2k - 30 Titan

Pencil me in as a maybe as well. 30 titan.

You won't be alone in not buying the expansion right away. I'm planning on waiting until after the Holidays at least so we should be able to find a group who haven't done the new raid.

Im ostensibly doing this with my static group, but theyre a bunch of angry people so I cant imagine we'll get far before quitting. If I keep my mouth shut about what I have seen come Sunday, is that cool?

Obviously that's all dependent on whether there's a PS4 raid.

Alright! I am now a solid yes for Sunday!

My wife is in Grad School and will be done for the semester on the 12th. We have a lot of movies and such to catch up on due to her being swamped school work. will have to see how my friday and saturday go.

360. I'll see if Chaos wants to stay up and do a 24 hours of no-sleep thing. Warlock of both varieties.

Chaos is down too. Crazy bastard.

Is there any way to tag the rosters on the forum? I think this post is buried for a lot of people.

They should order by date of last reply, like all smart people do. :)

Some people live in darkness their whole lives, never knowing the truth.

Added you guys to the 360 roster.

And you don't know it yet, but that's about to become a moot question…

Kermit surmises that you're hinting about an LFG feature and quietly rejoices.

Wait, there's a way to view the forum that isn't date of last reply? ;)

Date of thread being the default, I think folks don't realize there's a better way out there.

Perhaps it shouldn't be.

Talked to McPhisto today. He's down for 360

Beorn and rest of X1 crew, do you think we can start a little earlier on Sunday?
If so then I can make it because I.got.work Sunday night so if gives me.amble.time to beat it (or get.to the.end at.least).

I don't even know…

That's what I get for trying to do several things at once. My sincere apologies…

Just prepare for me to...uhhh...talk like Dr. Ian Malcolm the whole raid.

Must go faster...must go faster

Assuming I can qualify by Sunday (I think I just need to level up my new guantlets), I'm a switch hitter when it comes to Xbox.

Right now we don't seem to have enough players yet to fill either team. We need more virgins! Do we need to post again to get the attention of those who have the forum posts ordered wrong?

I think Beorn did send out a reminder post this morning. Or last night, depending on what coast you live on.

A younger, handsomer Ian Malcolm.

Ah, good. I missed that. Your forum avatar is perfect, BTW.

I like to mix it up.

Xbone. Warlock and my Titan should both be 30 by that point, if not higher. However, I may still have my family at my house, so I may be an extra like Pfhor.

Yakaman 'bout to throw it down on Crota!

I think I can get my Hunter to 30 by Sunday, and clear my schedule. This will probably be my only shot to do it without spoilers, so I'll get to work on upgrades. squidNH3, XB1.

I'd love to join in. I think I need to upgrade some armor, I just hit 28 with a fully upgraded exotic. I'll work on leveling my gear as best I can.

XB1, right?

I'll be running bounties tonight almost exclusively. I plan on playing with a friend who is a lower level and might not have the DLC yet. I'm uncertain.

Regardless, you're welcome to join. I won't be talking about brownies over the narration or anything. :)

Heh, I have that clip of you baking brownies while your guardian endlessly walks into the wall. :D

It's what happens when I let my comfy chair drive.

If you're on tonight look for me. Hope to be working for Eris exclusively.

Sweet, a group of us started VoG last night. I had to bail but I think they're gonna try to finish Aetheon tonight. Regardless, I hope to be on doing stuff at some point tonight!

If you're short on VoG, hit me up.

Welp, turns out my plans for the weekend got scrubbed, so I can defiantly do this with you guys.

Or are there just going to be 2 xbone teams?

Four of the XB1 guys are tentative…

If any of them have 360 and would like to fill that last 360 spot, then say so. ;-)

Okay, we have six commits for each team, so I'm locking down the rosters.

Chewie and breitzen are alternates for the Xbox One in case something comes up.

XB1 team, I'll try to be online around 8:20 am Pacific to get things rolling. Everyone, bring your best gear and weapons!

Rock on! Thanks to an unexpected sick day, I managed to get my titan up to level 31. As long as my sick day doesn't turn into a sick weekend, I should be ready to do some serious damage on Sunday!
