This week in DBO Raids (April 10) (Destiny)

Look, these threads are just never going to be posted on time. Let's accept that and move on ;p

Some great times raiding this week already. First, there was our Vault of Glass hard mode run on Wednesday. We once again managed to kill the Templar without letting him teleport. Amazing what a combination of Black Hammer, Gjallarhorn, and Cyber running the relic can do ;)

But the real highlight of the raid for me was the jump puzzle. I decided to try an alternate approach:

Yes, that's absolutely as fun as it looks :D

Next up, we ran 2 Crota normal raids last night. First half of our first run was a comedy of errors. We made it through most of the abyss with weight of darkness x10 on us. TheeChaos ended up being the only one to safely make it out, and just barely thanks to a surprise Ogre that appeared at the last moment.

The bridge was even worse (as in "funnier"). Cyber and I were the first 2 across. Suddenly, everything started going wrong for the 4 left behind. Every time they got into position to build the bridge, someone would die again.

"Ok, revive me! Revive ME!"

"I gotcha"

"Ok, we're good. We're good. Everyone ready?"

"I've got top. Art, go to the middle. Ok let's go!"

*Guardian down*

*laughter*

It went on like this for a solid 5 minutes or so. Luckily, the hive majors on the far side kept dropping heavy ammo. Between my Gjallarhorn and Cyber's Ice Breaker, we were able to hold out until everyone got across :)

Then we got to the Deathsinger and took her down about as quickly as I've ever seen.

The best part was that I was the only one who actually saw her drop (and with no mic, I couldn't tell anyone). The rest of the group started to get nervous when they couldn't find her. They eventually noticed me frantically dancing in the corner and figured it out ;p

Finally, there was our 2nd Deathsinger takedown on the night, during which I went full Leroy and took down both Wizards and both shriekers before getting chopped down by a knight:

At one point, Cyber said "Cruel, what are you doing?"

"Being awesome..." I whispered into my dormant headset. "I'm being awesome, Cyber"

;p

What about everyone else? Any raid highlights this week? I know the Xbox One team completed their flawless Crota run. Big congrats on that!

Last night had to be, hands down, the wierdest crota experience I have ever had. Check this out... this was my abyss experience starting about halfway in. I didn't realize it until I did my super, but the odd network stuff was happening before that. Things got really weird... really fast.

If you watch nothing else, watch the last 2 minutes. =) Towards the end, what I was seeing was VERY different from what I was hearing everyone else experience. So very disorienting! heh.

Even after dropping to orbit and re-joining, things never really were the same that second run after that.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure the thrall were like "Wha DUFUQ is this guy!?"

I wonder if anyone else has a film of what was happening.

I turned around and looked at you once I was across the bridge- you were surrounded by attacking thrall, at least three sword knights, and an ogre was drilling you with it's eye-beam.

And you just stood there and kept taking it.

What a trooper.

I was glued to the floor for a bit during the templar stage of our raid. The HUD said I was detained, but I could see no shield and nothing could hurt me. I tried firing a rocket at my feet and that didn't do anything either.

[drops mic, er, controller.]

Had a great time with the deeply flawed raiders doing VoG on normal. Except for gravity-related mishaps I don't remember dying, which makes me nervous because I might start aspiring for flawless runs or something crazy like that. Hopeful that our next VoG hard mode attempt goes smoother than it has gone historically.

Bigarm got the shards she needed to become a 32, so now the pressure is on. Must keep up.

I wish I had recorded the "Kermit Suros Celebration." It was awesome...in fact, last night went so well (you and your Suros, I got a Monte Carlo, hit level 32, and Lichtonatus helped me unlock Thorn after the raid) I'm almost afraid to raid next week. What horrors might the raid gods unleash? No, don't answer that. We'll find out soon enough, I'm sure.
