We could have done it.
You knew nami was going to use black hammer on gorgons, right?

Let's not talk about that raid. Too soon.

I was late to the VoG party and thankfully joined an incredibly friendly group I found here.
I must have held up the group for fifteen minutes at the jumping puzzle until someone realized that I didn't know how to double jump! I had somehow made it that far into the game without realizing you had to quickly tap the jump button twice as a Warlock.
Everyone had a nice long laugh.

What about NLB-only CE this weekend??

I thuoght that was a chat request
On a related note - and this isn't aimed at you per se, just a general comment to get ahead of any others - please try to avoid sniping at Gaming threads or posts in those threads from here. I don't think it's helpful to take shots from the "safety" of the community threads. As a general observation I've seen this a lot (in this and other gaming community threads, mocking other threads that are not theirs) and I don't think it's healthy for the forum in any way. What that translates to is, don't say anything from here that you would not feel comfortable saying in the other thread. The same rules apply.
Man, good times. Those early days were pure bliss.
We'd never kill Crota.

lol I was about to respond with the link but this was great.
Although since it's a gaming thread it might be more like PvP than PvE. If the heavy hasn't spawned yet, he'll want this:
I really want that

Won't know until we tried...

Yeah, Datto's group did that already. Crota shield couldn't come down without Super/Grenades. NLB just can't crack it.

Taking the less advantageous point in control can be the right move in some situations. I'm sure randoms are doing it just to do it, but you can win a control match against a good team without a foothold on the best point. I've lost close control matches where we won the k/d battle but lost because we stubbornly refused to cap the initial point as well as B.
I think we can take his shield down with reload canceling but we also have to kill the Swordbearer. I don't see it happening without 'nades and supers aplenty.

I actually have a picture!
remember when math was one of the two 27s and we had to give her the relic.
that went well.
i think you ended up with it, nami

I need that too, maxed Red Death with no Telemetry and still not having the XP Pulse Rifle boost from Grimoire. Sucked.
I now buy 2 or 3 of every telemetry every time Xur comes now.

We should raid together some time.
I did VoG the day it came out. It was incredible. Like one of my greatest gaming moments ever incredible. We had no idea what to expect out of the raid, no one did. We started to slowly piece together the boss mechanics, forming strategies, eventually overcoming. We played for 18 hours straight and managed to get to Atheon. Couldn't take him down until Friday.
That moment is probably the reason why I still play. For all Destiny's faults. It still manages to evoke feelings that very few games can.

Out of all the DGAF memories, I will cherish this one the most:
Team Mothereffing Husk! DGAF's first Hard Raid team clear!
I won't. We probably would have finished sooner if I didn't choke on the sword for so long. Only recently can I run it without getting incredibly anxious.

I had some asshole kept trying to photobomb my post HM Crota Pic. Don't think I ever got a good one
I don't think I ever got the relic. I was on bubble duty for a lot of it since we never knew about jumping out of the arena at the time and we stayed in one spot for most of the Templar fight.

Ah, ok.
I'm just blaming Nami for everything at this point because... well, we know why.
I believe Afrocious joined us after two had left and joined other teams. We ended up beating it with him and someone else.
I was the only person insistent on trying to kill a Gorgon.
Hey, rodiard!
Remember that time you died during the run and I stood up and took sword duties only to wipe just one hit away from victory? I do.
Edit: fixed the link. First link went to our successful run.
So, so close. Luckily the next run was it and just barely.

Yes please. Red Death seems to be taking forever trying to level it up without telemetries.

Logging in now! My remote play is a bit sketchy. Hope this works.
My first raid was sometime mid to late October w/ T-44, Chowder, and some of his friends. T-44 and I had never done it before, and Chowder explained everything succinctly and was so patient with us. We didn't cheese anything. We actually hit Enrage on the Templar but somehow still managed to beat him. I remember Atheon taking awhile, and us grouping up as home & away teams. Completing VoG was one of the most satisfying gaming experiences ever, and I'll never forget that run. Think it probably took somewhere between 3 and 4 hours.
Since playing w/ Chowder, I've tried to use the same approach w/ running a raid w/ someone new. It's easy to get frustrated sometimes, but then I remember how new everything was on that first time, so I want to make it memorable for every member.
Remember getting Kabr's Brazen Grips and thinking "Why would I want to level up another set of legendary gauntlets?" Dismantled them.

Doing Red Death now, it's painful without telemetries. At least nightfall buff helps a bit.
Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for my friends list.

Got it, thanks again!

By far my biggest Destiny regret is not saving much media from the very early days. *sigh*
I save a lot of videos then go back and watch them in Share Factory to pick out funny/interesting moments I noticed while playing. You can go ~frame-by-frame and take a screen shot that looks the best. Sometimes you see really cool stuff you'd never notice otherwise:
e.g. Inside giant Atheon room crystals:
Wow, my experience and its effect on me is eerily similar. Only difference is we played for ~8-9+ hrs straight and hit a wall at Gate Keepers mainly due to level scaling. We only had 1 other Lv26 besides me, along with 2-3 Lv25s and 1-2 Lv24s. The one time I've ever fallen asleep during a raid
. That PUG never reformed but I beat it a day or two later with another group, don't remember exactly. Still play with one of the original PUG guys on the rare times he plays Destiny.
I could talk for hours about that release-day VoG experience, haha.

Deathsinger dies. Second Red Death drops.
I loved that cave. It leveled my weapons, armor and guardians all while I was showering, eating or at the gym. Thank you to everyone who did the work while I reaped the benefits. I didn't care for the engrams, I just didn't feel like leveling up my sub accounts by myself.
