Stuffs! Weird week with the new year and my regular raid being moved to Sunday but there's plenty to get in on here. Please quote, and post PSN if you want a slot for any of the raids.
Wednesday, 7:00PM EST - Dick Crota's New Year's Rockin' Raid
Full CE Run tonight- so here's the thing, I'd like this to be open to newcomers including first timers. However- and this is a big however- I can't really call this a "newbie raid" like the VoG Thursday raids, simply because I'm not as comfortable leading groups through CE yet and things may go awry.
Anyone is welcome, though experienced people who can help out would be awesome- most important for this run is we need people who are patient. I'd love for it to be a quick run through to killing Crota bing bang boom, but if we run into trouble I'd like us to just take it easy and work it out. If it gets too late (i.e. if the run goes >4 hours), I may have to take off, but I don't see that happening. Even if it does we'll at least get people to Crota without a doubt and they can hold onto the checkpoint.
Minimum level 30. As are all my runs, this will be lactose-free.
Don't think I had anyone committed here yet, so it's open:
1. Hawkian
2. Dave_6
3. Kor of Memory
4. TkRunningRiot
5. aMadTeaParty
6. shaunLEGEND
Thursday, 8:15PM EST - Hawkian's Inaugural 2015 Newbie Normal/Hard VoG Raid
These are weekly raids available to all, but intended for newbies to the Vault or those who just aren't comfortable with all aspects of it. Bring your highest leveled character, your best weapon, and your most patient self! All encounters will be explained (quickly, but still) as though it was a brand new group, so please be willing to listen. These are a great opportunity to take on roles you don't ordinarily get the chance to try- Relic for Templar, inside/outside Gatekeepers, etc.- and just generally learn to master the raid. We will employ (or at least demonstrate) tactics for each section that can be applied equally to either Normal or Hard mode. The only restriction on attendance is that participants shouldn't come two weeks in row, just to allow many different GAF Guardians to cycle through. There is no pressure to understand anything before having it explained, and no pointing fingers when things break down. We will laugh at ourselves when we wipe, and then do better the next attempt.
Note: If the group level distribution for one of these is four 30s/two 29s or better, this will shift to becoming a Hard Raid. The biggest restriction by far for a Hard raid is that you cannot revive. If you die, you're dead until the next checkpoint. As a result, it's important to play very conservatively. However, the prospect of having a full six level 30 "newbie" group is becoming more realistic by the day, and I'm confident we could pull it off. However, if you sign up for this run, please do so with the knowledge that it will default to a Normal raid if the numbers aren't in our favor.
Had some pre-signups via PM for this one, so it's potentially full but it's not unlikely that we'll need alts so please still post if you'd be available at the time and want in.

Friday, 5:00PM EST - Hawkian's Pay-it-Foward Weekly Heroic/Nightfall Clinic
Opening clinic hours a little early cause I have the day off now.
You know the drill: I guarantee you safe passage through the Weekly Strike of your choice and show you a viable cheesy (for Nightfall) or lactose-free (for Heroic) strategy that is easy to replicate; you use this knowledge to help someone else out when the time comes!
Minimum level for the Clinic is 28 for Nightfall, 27 for Weekly Heroic. No signups for these- just come into the thread at the specified time and post asking for help, and I'll jump in.[/QUOTE]
Sunday, 9:00PM EST - Static Group CE Raid
This is my regular weekly raid group, usually this would be tonight (Wednesdays) but moved to Sunday to accommodate NYE.
1. NarcissiticJay
2. Palom12
3. UnionCarbine
4. SquallASF
5. wins1991
6. Hawkian
No idea if all of us will show up though, so please keep your eyes peeled if you're looking to raid on Sunday night.
After Destiny-ing it up all day I had a bunch of other stuff I needed to attend to, let me know if you'll be playing tonight or need anymore Crota kills. Can bring my Lv32 'lock.
