lol - I'm gonna need that if we're going to switch from our original callouts to the 'official' ones. (Seems like if you only plan to raid with the same people, there are no downsides to sticking with the callouts your team came up with the first time through. If you swap around, though, the only reasonable thing to standardize on is the official list - because it's actually in-game. I'm still sort of mad we didn't notice until after the first encounter was well over.)

I guess some of us like playing with a variety of people, Wu. ;)

Seriously, though, it is a point of privilege to be able raid often--especially with the same people over and over. I thought this was a nice quality of life innovation, including official names in the game. You made the point yourself that this raid requires a heavy cognitive load. I think it's great that it's less likely you'll have to learn a different language when you play with people you don't usually play with. Sometimes such factors become bosses in themselves, and not the fun kind.

Then some of us got literally stuck because we wondered out of the map after the Caretaker.

Us too - there's a door that shouldn't be a door in that room with the first switch of the jumping puzzle. It leads to an area that's clearly unfinished, and inescapable.

Yup, that's it.

One of my favorite parts of Pit of Heresy is hearing what other people call the Hive symbols.

ChrisTheeCrappy famously had some unique callouts for the Last Wish symbols, but I can't remember them (I've never actually done the symbol caller role on Vault).

We spent a lot of time in that room with the symbols before we realized you could walk out to the next area. We were turning them on and off. It also took us a while when we first entered the pyramid to realize that the way forward was a hole in the floor.

Can someone solo to this room as prep?

I do not think so. However... the symbols are already on the web, labeled. (I'm sure it'll get even more polished over time, but after we gave up for the weekend, I went looking, and there were plenty of options. Try googling 'vow of the disciple symbols' if you want to see what there is.)

You go through this room as part of the Pyramid investigation mission which I guess got opened by the raid world first clear...

lololol

(I just discovered, this evening, when we went back in for the first secret chest, that you CAN solo to this room, and would be able to even if the mission hadn't gone live. It might be tricky, because you have to open the main door by yourself (not super hard) and then sparrow to the first building (harder, if you've never done it, and harder still, because Pervading Darkness makes you blinder and blinder until it kills you, but it's not a darkness zone, and your body spawns roughly where you died, so you can do it in segments, and I'm sure there are maps online). Totally doable, though. Might even be faster than running the mission. (I don't know - I've never run the mission.)

C/O a reddit tip:
You can pin them to the side on PS5.

Heh - or just use a phone. :) (or a computer, or whatever)

In the spirit of LifeProTips, it's cool yet impractical.

Super impractical. Why would I get a big monitor, and then suck up half of it with a static pic?

You spent all your money on the big monitor and have none left for an iPad, phone, or computer :-p
