It's on my list of things to sort out before Nov 10th...

Yes, but it's my understanding is that it takes 5 weeks of running it, so it's time to start.

What am I missing? Why does no one (that I've found anyway) do this?

I don't have the catalyst so that might be the issue.

Not once have I run it without at least one person getting chomped by the Servitor...

So the dirty secret of this challenge is that you can have everyone except 2 people leave, those 2 drive the course and close the door, and then the 4 people rejoin before you move to the next area. It works because you don't rejoin dead at that point.

I don't think I've ever seen more than 3 people survive the sparrow run. There's just too much clashing.

Personally I've always been unimpressed any time I've been in a group that tried to use Outbreak, but presumably it can be good. I don't have the catalyst so that might be the issue.

I actually don't like Whisper for Insurrection Prime because of his twitching. I've been using Line in the Sand for a while now, and I've heard Queenbreaker is actually somehow good at DPS now.

Switching about as needed, folks who run this tend to be using some pulse/scout rifle or in some cases Crimson, a shotgun/sniper, and of course Whisper of the Worm, Sleeper Stimulant, or Thunderlord. Again... switching as needed.

But there is one thing I don't understand; Why does everyone insist on Whisper (or the like) when there is multiple clips of footage (which is admittedly far more dated) of 6 Outbreak Perfectedzz, just burning Insurrection Primes Health pool in 30 Seconds or so. It's really not even a fair comparison. Granted, it's fairly late when I'm posting this, but sans the fix where you can't make nanites while immune, and the removal of Lunafaction Boots "Infinite Ammo" (which is definitely being used in these clips) I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't still be the best way to burn the boss. Once the damage boost mechanic gets going, It's 30k a shot! With buffs! And with A Void Hunter Tossing an Oppressive 'nade, it could go even higher right? Results may very I suppose, but... can you blame me for asking when there is footage like this? That's a 28 Second finish with Primary ammo! (2:47 - 3:15) None of that "Low on Ammo" shenanigans, with virtually the same time to kill as Whisper (based on the clip at the top).

Ended up trying out Niobe Labs with Claude and Zero this past weekend. None of us had watched any videos, we just had some basic image guides for the codes in front of us, so we had to figure out ad control strategies as we went. I think we spent around 3-4 hours on Friday night working out waves 1-6 and briefly failing a few wave 7 code tries, another hour on Saturday failing the wave 7 code, and then finally succeeded on Sunday night on the second or third try after some additional guidance on entering in the sniper player's (mine) code.

All in all it was fun and I'm glad we did it. The wave 7 stuff being so finicky was a bit frustrating, especially after it seemed like the previous 6 codes worked just fine once we got them down. It could have just been the pressure that was causing the issues. Working out the ad control strategies was fun given the weapon limitations (2 players basically have to run Hammerhead, which isn't very good for yellow bars anymore).

I participated in a thread on Reddit yesterday about that encounter, and mentioned the caveat that you shouldn't try to step on plates you're not actually using (make sure to go AROUND the ones you aren't using, instead of over them, if they're between your first and second). I got feedback that that might have been a problem (their first run after reading that caveat, which they hadn't seen before, was successful)... so it's possible that some of our mystery wipes were me not going wide enough around Wind to get from Butterfly to Sun. (I was much more careful on Saturday and Sunday, but given how finicky things were, I might not have been careful enough.)

If anyone else is interested, I'd be willing to help.

I've deleted the event for tonight, I'll reach out to those who expressed interest for rescheduling at a later date.

I may not be as good as Kermit, but if you need another for that raid, I'd be up for practicing Flawless for ya.
