What?
The daily mission, followed by the Nightfall mission (or Weekly Heroic--your choice)
Who?
Guardians level 28 and up
Where?
Xbox Live on the Xbox One
How?
Members sign up with their gamertags using the event listing.
I will invite you to an XBL party shortly before 9 EST. When the party is full the Co-op Night Random Team Generator (RTG) will assign teams. Teams will break off, and I'll invite more people to the party until I've included everyone. This process should wrap up by ~9:05.
Why?
To have the opportunity to play with community members you may not have played with before, to have a predictable time during the week to cooperatively tackle a harder challenge, and to kick some alien butt.
<3
Kermit
P.S. Remember that on co-op night, assists count more than kills.
I'm in
I'm in unless my only two real life non-DBO friends are online at exactly the same time and begging me to play the weekly.
Cool! Add an RVSP.
Hi, my name is...
...Finwe of Noldor. I'm already signed up. It's nice to meet you :)
I respond best to "Fin" or "Fin-wee". Mumbling some murdered version of "Noldor" usually doesn't work :)

I intend to join in, but not sure yet if I'll be able to get on by that time so I'll wait to RSVP.

What's your rationale, to get the experience buff first?
I thought of the daily as a warm-up--that's my rationale.

Yea, pretty much. I like the buff but it may not be as easy as last weeks.

I'm flexible. Don't forget to RVSP if you decide to come.

I already did the daily chapter this morning at 4AM (yay newborns), but I'll gladly blast through it again. I think it's one of the easier dailies (though with lightswitch today it's a little bit nasty!)

If I'm the odd man out, I can bail.

Nah. It's likely that we have at least one two-man team or maybe two. It all depends on the RTG!
pssst! Kermit!
Is this thing on? Don't forget my XB1 name is different than my DBO name :)
Apologies to everyone.

When I got on tonight my mic wouldn't work. I'm still troubleshooting.
Okay, I finally got one of my mics to work around the time I had to log off last night.
Has anyone else had trouble with the mics on the XB1?
I've had trouble before, and I don't know what causes it. I tried rebooting the console half a dozen times. I played around with the settings, checked my connections, and switched back and forth between my Astros A40s and the default headset/mic. Someone on youtube suggested turning off Kinect chat capability and then reselecting "Choose this person" from the sign in page. That didn't work, or maybe it did eventually. The last time I switched back to the A40s the mic magically started working again.
I'm sorry again to those of you who signed up to participate in Co-op Night. I hope that some of you were able to get together and play regardless. We'll try again next week.
It's cool, and mic comments
When I logged on I had other people trying to get me to do nightfall, so it worked out for me.
I didn't have audio trouble at until later that night. I joined a new group for the raid and couldn't hear anyone, though they could hear me. That is odd, because all other game and XB1 sound was hitting my headphones, it was just the voice that wasn't. We tried both game chat and party chat, nothing. I restarted my XBox and still nothing, until I was in the party for 20 seconds and suddenly it started working.
Note that given my scenario, a loose headphone connection could not have caused it. My mic worked fine, it was just that certain audio was selectively hitting the headphones.

I was going back and forth between two headsets, so I knew the odds were low that both had problems. And again, this has happened before. They need to fix this already.

The question is, who is "they"?
I don't know how much overlap the two chat systems have, but the party chat is for sure an XBox thing and if broken there is nothing Bungie can do.

Oh, I'm putting this ball firmly in Microsoft's court. I've had issues with PS4 chat, too, but they've been different, and mainly about volume levels when using the USB instead of the standard audio cable connection.

Has anyone else had trouble with the mics on the XB1?
Yes - along with several other things. I kinda hate my XB1. It's the worst gaming purchase I've ever made.
- CC HAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahaha
That is a darn shame, friend.

Has anyone else had trouble with the mics on the XB1?
Not really. The headset's built like crap and won't stay put on my head, but the actual mic works very well. Even out of position, it picks up my voice MUCH better than the 360 ever did. The 360 had trouble recognizing that my voice was a voice, and would constantly stop transmitting right in the middle of a sentence.
What I have had, at least until I switched routers, was a frequent inability to join voice chat sessions (both XBL and in-game chat) and games due to the XBone not liking my NAT situation. It doesn't sound like that's what's happening to you, though - if it were, switching headsets wouldn't help at all.
I wonder if there is actually something wrong with the port on your controller where the headset connects. You don't have a 2nd controller to try, do you?

No, not yet. Don't really need one, don't really want another black one, and don't like what else is available. This one is okay, though.

Do you want to swap controllers? I have a 2nd that I exclusively use on PC and have no use for the expansion port. I'd gladly swap it for yours

Heh, I just ordered that second controller.
Very nice of you to offer, though.
