What's most heartbreaking is that once this encounter is over most of them will just get a few raid tokens for a vendor they can't access yet. Shh, don't tell them.

 

[Valtýr]

I just came back... Are they still on the same phase? It's been like 5 hours

YES

 

[mattp]

ive never played the game. have they made 0 progress?

Go 👏 get 👏 the 👏 gear👏

It's killing me, some of them are at the minimum power level, and that gear could easily make the difference

 

[benicillin]

This is the kind of thing that they'd probably figure out after 15 minutes if they all just broke for the day and came back to it later, but sitting here forcing it means they're never gonna be able to get through it. That's happened to me so many times in Destiny.

Yes

 

[VeryGooster]

I'd like to see them do a PSO stream. Had a ton of fun with Episode 1 & 2 on the OG Xbox

There's something beautiful about Vinny playing DIV2 in between dogs bottoms

 

[LiK]

Are they bad at this or is this meant to be the raid experience?

I want to be kind but they’re bad at this.

 

[TheMadMan007]

when all they keep saying is "it isn't THAT bad" ... It still means it's a bad game.I don't understand how anyone thinks this game is worth their time or money.... UGH. Destiny is a bad game that blows. But hey, I've got good background noise all day long, I think that is the only positive thing about Destiny.

Yeah, I wish they would have done that when they went on their lunch break.

he isn't kidding the game is fucking punishing with some of the environmental shit it can throw at you.

 

[oti]

Wouldn't that reset the entire raid?

East has a podcast to record tomorrow, and there is probably some QL lined up to be recorded, and likely meetings we dont know about. They are trying to fit this bullshit in the best they can, and Destiny is not cooperating.

 

[xuchu]

Can we get a divinity 4 player co-op stream?

 

[Zaph]

Wouldn't that reset the entire raid?

nope, just keep someone in there. everyone does it

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I found starting off in rags to be pretty rough.

Yeah I know, I said before I just don't think streaming the Destiny raid blind is conducive to actually enjoying the raid because forcing yourself to play it in one sitting when you're struggling is kinda not the best way to play.

 

[oti]

Let's goooooo!

Wait what. Why aren't they just collecting the orbs? What did I miss?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

From Jeff's perspective that was ace!

 

[Wunder]

god

One thing about raiding in MMO's is that the best experience is had by watching a raid walkthrough and then doing the raid. In FF14, people will not let you into a group raid until you positively tell them you have watched the raid video and they will immediately kick you if it becomes apparent you haven't.

This is even after you have gone through the raid multiple times on lower levels to give you insight into how it's going to work.

"No Spoilers" raids are for fools tbh. The only people no spoilering it should be the vanguard guilds that get first clears. Everyone else should be doing their homework.

 

[Young Liar]

Had to stop watching a couple of hours ago to get work done. I thought they would be on another section by now since they already knew what to do when I stopped.

I feel bad for them now. Team I ran this with took about 30 minutes to get it done after being taught how to do it.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Definitely a GOTY contender

get fucked ben and dan

 

[demidar]

Yeah I'm playing on Tactical and shit can get brutal even with a mostly geared party. And that's great because I'm playing multiplayer on Classic difficulty and we mostly face roll everything.

The beginning was definitely still the hardest point in my current playthrough.

Also why are they jumping through holes in Destiny?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Long drawn out debates about strategies to make the playing experience less painful...

GOTY!!!

 

[Alucrid]

Are they bad at this or is this meant to be the raid experience?

they get the mechanics and what they need to do, they just haven't been on the same page execution wise until that last run where they didn't fully get what to do on the final phase.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

The secret strat for the run in pick up groups is to run slightly slower than everybody then pick up all the orbs that are left.

 

[Wunder]

the shooting is good

Yeah, to anyone who watches Destiny from afar, this looks like torture. It took my team maybe 8-10 tries after knowing what to do. Its not nearly as hard as they make it look. Oh well, hopefully the drops are good. Alex and Abby should benefit hugely from anything other than a token

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

The outside consists of clearing the ads, standing on a pillar, shooting one of two targets, running off the pillar to melee a guy then jumping back on.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Abby stream is the best stream because it's satisfying seeing people jump through hoops.

That floaty jump in third person is oddly mesmerizing

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

It is! And I like when she has already jumped when the rings turn green.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Running is way more fun because of the hoops, dunks and getting to say dog bottom.

Thank you

"Come prepared or dont come at all" has been the raiding mantra in every raid experience in every MMO i've played for like 15 years now so this going in blind shit has never made any sense

 

[Oakinn]

i dont know why they're so adverse to using their supers At least it looks like that from Brads stream

 

[VeryGooster]

LOW BATTERY

pretty much. the real reward is the execution of the strategy.
