Damn Destiny just hard crashed at the end of a strike. This is pretty annoying -_-

You could always use destinylfg.net to fill out the group. I've had moderate success there.
No need to be sry. It was your first time doing VoG. As long as you had fun that's all that matters ^_^
Up for Trials, no promises of flawless though. PSN Shokleeto

Thanks for defending us in twitch chat GAF. No idea who those people were and how they got the link to the stream, but next time they say something, just show them this

He quit the chat right after that. Between him and the other guy I swear. I've never gotten upset in a chat before but they were getting me close.

Above anything else, I need to say that I am terribly sorry. I am a complete mess at following patterns with the disappearing blocks (What's this, Megaman all over again?), and I am the one to blame for all the time we spent at the final boss until I managed to understad what you were telling me. I started getting anxious and desperate plus every possible communication mean started going on one after another from somebody desperate to contact me. I even was trying to read a guide between deaths.
Regarding the disappearing blocks segment, After crossing the first one I thought we were supposed to go to that sort of Stargate , instead of just turning right and going into the dark.
Worst part after me losing it, was the network issues I was under most of the time. I'd lose connection with the chat party, or even being disconnected from the servers. I believe the homeplug network adapters are to blame for. This would not be noticeable in a short strike, but when several hours span.... I think I will get a 25 metres network cable and run it from one side of the home to the other in case there is ever a raid.
The Gorgon maze was pretty incredible, with so much tension building.
No exotics for me, though. Just a ship. But the previous nightfall with DeathJr was totally worth it.
I really really hate this.
I'm pissed off that I missed this, fuck those guys. Don't even worry about it. Did you have fun? Done. That's all that matters.

It was on the Live From PlayStation app. I looked it up on there and it was in the top 12 or so streams at the time. I think that is where the trolls came from.
Is it a Normal vault or Hard Mode? I'd prefer a Hard shot (for the double loot drops) but have no problem with a Normal. It would still be a lot of fun. I'd totally be down for a Crota's End as well. Realistically, I'd love to learn how to use the Relic and Sword, which would absolutely be best on a normal mode.
After lunch, of course.

i fell more times than you during the jump phase being overwhelmed by lots of details regarding bossfights for the first time is pretty normal. Especially without guidance Marco Tovarich

Personally I would prefer Normal, but if necessary I would be open for Hard Mode.
Salvage is almost like OG Iron Banner with how players approach it. The second a team goes down 1000 points everyone starts to bail and the snowball goes down the hill faster with the rotating players. That's not to say it doesn't happen in other Crucible modes, but it seems to happen much quicker in Salvage.
Missed the Atheon kill because I helped a friend who only started a few weeks ago run NM CE, which got me my second Horn as a reward: thanks deathsinger, first real good exotic from you! <3Phew.
Great job everyone, 4 hours (minus the breaks) is not a bad time at all.
Had an amazing time and hope everyone else did too.
Thanks everyone for watching. I think there were close to 60 viewers at one time, which was way more than expected. Also thanks for hosting the stream on your channel unstable
Did anybody get good loot on Atheon?
That was an awesome stream to watch, brought back a lot of good memories of my first VoG.
Now fig has to run fig for her first CE...

Oh wow, you haven't completed a Skolas kill yet? I'll help you next week, really do not want to do it again with lightswitch and small arms modifiers.
Maybe I should start a list....
I'd get on that list... ^^Oh wow, you haven't completed a Skolas kill yet? I'll help you next week, really do not want to do it again with lightswitch and small arms modifiers.

Top 12? Wow...first time streaming for me.
lol
Gorgons too.
Was trying my best to not dps Atheon at the end, but with people getting tired and time running short (some had to go to work), I had to carry a bit harder. Everyone understood the mechanics though and we didn't do the middle platform strategy, so very happy with that.

Put me on that list. Haven't killed that mofo Skolas yet either. If I kick his ass I'll have one triumph left to complete.
Yeah, me too. Don't feel like doing it this week due to modifiers.
Yeah, no. I've been dreading to do it this week because of the modifiers too. Let's try to get something going next week then. Thanks.Oh wow, you haven't completed a Skolas kill yet? I'll help you next week, really do not want to do it again with lightswitch and small arms modifiers.

I would be good for either, see what the majority want i suppose.
Need another 2 i guess then, will start a party up and see what happens
I'm down for any such thing. Just say the word. PSN is V1ctIm.

It was fun, although in the end I just wanted it to stop
It's been extenuating and I don't remember being so happy to finally be over with a game (the base game, I meant. This was the last piece of content I was missing from the original Destiny)I think I'm going to wait before Crota's End or anything else... I've been saying I needed a big break but then returning in hopes of getting VoG, and all of you made my wish come true. but for now I feel like putting the disc back on its case and take a good break in single player... Then return with more energies for PoE or TtK.
PS: and glad it did not happen late on saturday in the end. I would have started failing even more due to getting increasingly tired
PS2: Note to self: Remember to mute the mic when heating food or preparing coffe.
I still have his tab opened.
He has 32 servitor kills...

Wow, what was his ID? I got a couple of friend requests from random people (non-gaffers), so don't want to add this guy by mistake.
Don't want to expose his full ID here, but it's "kippc" and a lot of digits after that...

Yeah it was getting a little weird towards the end because everyone was sort of talking over each other, and then you got kicked out of the party chat. You did well regardless and should be proud of the achievement.
PoE isn't running away anywhere, I do suggest you do nightfall and weekly strike each week at least, and grab the gorgon exotic chance chest from me every week. 3-4 hours a week at these end game activities will give you much better gear and loot than you have now.

You guys doing fresh, or want hard oracles checkpoint?
Ok thanks, didn't get a FR from him.
We were being trolled? That sucks.
Also, would love to know the parts were we had to be more nudged and the ones we were quicker at getting.
I mean, the nudges you gave were good clues but it must be fun to be on the other side seeing us trying to figure stuff out.
Bah, Did I just miss it? I just finished cooking / eating lunch! Oh well.

Why won't the husk just drop for me?
I mean I farmed Ashes of Al'ar every week in WoW for over 4 years (and never got it :I)
Please RNGesuses just be nice to me for a change.
