When I was doing them, I'd try to get them all done Tuesday with the main because it's hard to get 6 people together multiple times a week.
Raid on my main - right at reset (that´s 10 in the morning here in Germany)
Raid on my alt - some time after work on the same day once a group forms on GAF (or in the middle of the night with you guys)
Tuesday night EST, Wed night EST, by then I'm usually done. Might take a break from these activities for a bit though.
Appreciate the responses. I'm thinking of organizing a time to get alts done in an efficient manner - to find an appropriate combination of getting people who need to get their PvE stuff knocked out while having the skill to do so at a timely basis.
As someone who would like to do other things than play Destiny longer than I originally planned, I'm at a point where I cannot be in groups wiping at silly things repeatedly. Spending 2 hours on HM Oryx, for me, is intolerable. Wiping 10+ times on Daughters HM, however, is an exercise of wondering why I'm thinking it's a good idea to sit and hope by some stretch of the mind that this group of six people can develop the spacial awareness to rationally deduce what to do and where to go for the sake of dying so much at this encounter couldn't have been feasible considering how much time has passed between HM's release and now...or so I thought.
Though we finished that fight, if it wasn't for Doobage heading out for the night before we considered going onto Oryx, I probably would've stayed in my insanity because I have a tendency to want to break brick walls with nothing but fingernails and ignorance. There was an epiphany when he left - I knew at that moment I could walk away and I did. I don't do that ever, unless I'm with gross people I don't feel like ignoring for the sake of whatever activity I'm doing. But last night, I did, and while I'm not a religious person, I felt it was a moment where Jesus would've told me I did the right thing because I'm an idiot when it comes to wanting to do stuff.
In a nutshell, I have no time for shit. I may have been more accommodating back in Year 1 when everyone was doe-eyed and things had the sheen of being new, where we sat in front of a cave and shot enemies. But now? After a year of being on life's equivalent of a Six Flags roller coaster that didn't pass safety requirements? I can't sherpa anymore and I can't carry. Fuck both of them. I know I've hit some sort of masochist quota because I'm already beyond the point where I asked the ancient question "why am I mad at video games?" I do that shit on a monthly basis. My patience skipped town with my tolerance to get away from our abusive relationship. I put them through the ringer and I live with the repercussions.
So as someone who would probably be better off putting Destiny back on its digital shelf, I have a tendency to isolate problems if I can to better identify them. This leads to a solution half of the time.
The problem is that it's quite difficult for me to get groups together. I believe this is a symptom of being away from the game for an entire year, which has relegated me in the eyes of DGAF as an ignorable inanimate object like a table or an elderly person in a nursing home. I'm like the Dick Clark of Destiny GAF when he's doing the New Year's Eve stuff on ABC. I'm invited to do stuff with folks because I was an okay person once upon a time but, for the most part, folks have moved on. Folks have Bungie employees they can play with or streamers, and here I am wanting to have fun and do stuff, but again - I am basically nothing now. I provide no insight. I'm not entertaining. I don't carry folks. I can't stand people with bad attitudes, and sometimes I find myself eagerly awaiting to snap off on someone in parties where folks are being mad.
At first, I was mad at the situation, and chances are I'll probably get mad at it sometime again in a week or so, but I am eternally frustrated and sad I suppose. My experience with Destiny nowadays has become an exercise in dealing with isolation. I don't think it's healthy, and honestly, I think I resent DGAF as a whole now. It's a confusing thought.
