It's not 5 times - your success in these initial runs determines how much leeway you have later.

It's three times and then a "fourth"

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

So let me get this straight--they need to do this 4 more times without dying to pass on from this? Punishing design if so, wow haha

They need 3 good runs, then it changes for final run.

Can't wait for their reaction to the "fourth," gunna be hilarious.

What's the best stream should I switch from Abby to somebody else?

 

[Wunder]

how dare you

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

What's the best stream should I switch from Abby to somebody else?

I'm watching Abby+Brad and it seems good.

 

[oti]

how dare you

Just wondering.

 

[Salarians]

What's the best stream should I switch from Abby to somebody else?

Brad of course

 

[oti]

Brad of course

Nah. Brad knows.
He knows.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Brad kills stuff like twice as fast as Abby. Seems like level (or whatever it's called) can make a sizable difference in this.

 

[RumbleHumble]

Yeah, this one isn't that bad compared to the Gardens.

I actually had an easier time at gardens?

Mind you I was with a crew that knew to just kill the dogs with one person per dog so that had a bit to do with it.

I always get surprised when people downplay the light level. You really need to pull off some excellent crits in order to even out the difference between a 270 LL and 300 LL.

That being said, I am unimpressed with Brad's stopping power. I wonder what kind of shotgun he's using, because it's really not getting the job done.

Yeah I see Destiny hasn't gotten past its obsession with carrying balls and dunking them and doing all kinds of shit that has nothing to do with playing Destiny normally. That's always been my problem with the raids, it barely even resembles Destiny sometimes, and the encounters turn into exact simon says exercises, rather than showcases of dynamic and fun encounters. It's just so damn rigid. You either do everything right, or you die. The shooting is like, tertiary at best. The Oryx encounter especially was ridiculous.

Yeah I guess I thought Destiny raids in theory, would have interesting boss encounters that required some level of coordination and team work.

What I am seeing now feels like some Portal 2-esque co-op puzzles where you are occasionally killing things. I'm not saying that bad, it just seems a lot different then the rest of the game.

Also, I can't imagine loving the platforming aspects of this game with floaty-Halo style jumps and no Titanfall-esque mobility options.

 

[Dineren]

Maybe I'll change my mind after playing it, but this looks fun to me. King's fall was probably my favorite raid.

 

[saveweyard]

Not sure if already said, but this is the easiest of the 4 sections of the raid they have to do. Maybe the next one could be argued to be easier, but there's more shooting in that one.

This is music to my ears.

Jeff stream ftw

Baths is by the easiest in my opinion. Only real mechanic there is 2 simple 3-man rotations.

 

[ryseing]

The timer and the dogs being so janky makes Gardens way harder than it needs to be. I think if the timer was extended on normal mode it would be more manageable.

Baths is by the easiest in my opinion. Only real mechanic there is 2 simple 3-man rotations.

Agreed. Baths is kinda fun. There's something satisfying about nailing the rotation.

 

[Death Metalist]

 

[Salarians]

same

 

[LiK]

Baths are def the easiest.

 

[Wunder]

i wish there were some face cams

the best part of these is the exhaustion and suffering that appears on their faces as time goes on

 

[Jakoo]

"This is a nightmare"

 

[RumbleHumble]

The timer and the dogs being so janky makes Gardens way harder than it needs to be. I think if the timer was extended on normal mode it would be more manageable.

Agreed there. You kinda have to walk into a lucky run. I just happened to have one of those.

 

[oti]

THIS IS TENSE

 

[ryseing]

Someone didn't kill their Counselor.

Agreed there. You kinda have to walk into a lucky run. I just happened to have one of those.

Truth. Flower spawn location has a huge part in the difficulty of that section.

 

[chogidogs]

Abby's stream confirms that the worst jumpers are indeed Titans.

 

[RumbleHumble]

Did they miss their counselors?

 

[Catvoca]

Abby's stream confirms that the worst jumpers are indeed Titans.

Titans have my favourite jump by far.

 

[Zocano]

Abby's stream confirms that the worst jumpers are indeed Titans.

I don't think a statement can be more wrong.

 

[Wunder]

rip

 

[ryseing]

Abby's stream confirms that the worst jumpers are indeed Titans.

Nope. Titans have best jumps.

 

[zsynqx]

Ahhh Brad, wanted them to see that blind

 

[daveo42]

oh hey...more bs.

 

[oti]

We're missing out on 2h of Sunshine.
But instead we're getting 40H OF THIS NIGHTMARE.

That's a win in my book.

 

[chogidogs]

Booooooooooooo! Spoilermaker strikes again!

 

[LiK]

SPOILED. RUINED

 

[Mr. F]

I have a bombcast hot take but I think it's gonna get buried so I'll just wait it out

 

[Fevaweva]

I actually can't believe that happened. I would quit then and there.

 

[daveo42]

so what's deal with the next sequence? completely missed what brad said on how the next phase actually works.

 

[saveweyard]

Abby's stream confirms that the worst jumpers are indeed Titans.

You couldn't be more wrong. Warlocks have the worst jumps. Fuck that class.

I actually can't believe that happened. I would quit then and there.

Yesterday the last boss glitched out on us at the very last mechanic. We had only been going for like 45 minutes total, though.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

Dogs will be extra hard for them because some of them are not that great in knowing how to put out a lot of damage quick. If you can have everybody solo their dogs in 1 or 2 damage rounds it makes it a lot easier.

 

[Kaibutsu]

so what's deal with the next sequence? completely missed what brad said on how the next phase actually works.

They all have to run

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Haha, Brad basically spoiled the part of the last section that he shouldn't have spoiled and didn't tell them what they need to do to pass it.

 

[Harpuia]

Wait are they still doing the chamber with the pedestals and triangles

 

[LiK]

Brad didn't let them know how fucked up the screen gets. That will be fun.

 

[Kaibutsu]

You couldn't be more wrong. Warlocks have the worst jumps. Fuck that class.

Yeah Warlocks are the worst and I play as a Warlock. I mean unless you like slow jumps that have you float in the air forever...

 

[swimbuff]

If Brad was going to spoil something, he should spoiled the other thing instead of the thing he actually spoiled.

That DPS check is gonna be fun. Alex/Abby really need to be ~15 light higher.

I was 275 for that section and struggled.

 

[Kaibutsu]

You can also tell Dan is getting frustrated with how quiet he is being
