Just looked up what they have to do because I already couldn't stand not knowing.

This could take them a bit.

 

[Oakinn]

BENNN!

 

[Death Metalist]

lol he said crapped out not capped out.

That should tell you about my feelings when it comes to capped net then haha, still both situations suck.

 

[Oakinn]

ben straight just looked that up

 

[RumbleHumble]

Abby switched back to Sunbreaker. Welp.

I love the sunbreaker, but striker and void are just so much more useful.

BEN IS SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR!

 

[Santiako]

Ben reading wikis

Abby switched back to Sunbreaker. Welp.

Sunbreaker is so bad

 

[BTA]

Oh.

Ben solved it?

 

[TheChits]

Oh.

Ben solved it?

"Solved"

 

[Whoyouare]

Ben totally cheated. He nailed the correct answer to the puzzle having been in the shadow realm all of 15 seconds

 

[Oakinn]

I love the sunbreaker, but striker and void are just so much more useful.

the two grenades of striker makes everything else obsolete

 

[Death Metalist]

"Solved"

I don't blame him, I would want to be done and over with this shit already.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Ben totally cheated. He nailed the correct answer to the puzzle having been in the shadow realm all of 15 seconds

Good, just like how proper raid prep goes. It's about execution.

 

[Data West]

One of the gundams in Gundam Versus has a move where he literally does a shanking animation

something about seeing a giant gundam shanking a suit is the funniest shit

 

[swimbuff]

Just tuned in. Wow they're already at Calus? They figured out the dogs pretty quick. Did Brad explain the strategy?

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

Jeff MVP

 

[Death Metalist]

odd old man out

 

[Oakinn]

Just tuned in. Wow they're already at Calus? They figured out the dogs pretty quick. Did Brad explain the strategy?

they got like 80% of it. then he filled in the rest

 

[Whoyouare]

I don't blame him, I would want to be done and over with this shit already.

I agree but that's not the point of this run. If they wanted help ask brad for clues.

 

[Gurrry]

Good, just like how proper raid prep goes. It's about execution.

This run has hardly been about that. Theyve been trying to do it without spoilers and get hints when needed. Running raids blind doesnt mean they didnt do "good raid prep".

 

[Harpuia]

Who cares if Ben cheated or not.

 

[Whoyouare]

Good, just like how proper raid prep goes. It's about execution.

True. The execution is the true test.

 

[Oakinn]

Giant Bomb |OT33| The Spooky Slide

 

[Santiako]

The spooky slide is such a great name for that part.

 

[Death Metalist]

DOG ASS

 

[Stoze]

Kill the old men and go down the spooky slide, got it

 

[swimbuff]

they got like 80% of it. then he filled in the rest

Nice. They figured it out pretty fast. I'm surprised they managed to get past the DPS check though since some of them were pretty low light.

 

[xuchu]

Haven't watched for the last hour or so. How are they doing?

 

[Scizzy]

Dan's epiphany on the arrows was definitely more suspicious than Ben's.

 

[Oakinn]

Nice. They figured it out pretty fast. I'm surprised they managed to get past the DPS check though since some of them were pretty low light.

they consistently were x36 and a few x48. Dogs melted under that

 

[AaronMT86]

All I see

 

[OdysseusVA]

Dan's epiphany on the arrows was definitely more suspicious than Ben's.

Whatever gets them through the raid quicker

 

[Death Metalist]

JE-SUS-UH

Dan's epiphany on the arrows was definitely more suspicious than Ben's.

 

[throwawayname]

No UPF today because of the raid?

 

[dannyglover]

What are the steps to beating this boss?

 

[Santiako]

Abby tried to punch a psion and failed to do so like 12 times right now.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

I love Abby, but her aim makes me chuckle. They have been doing pretty good for the most part.

 

[swimbuff]

they consistently were x36 and a few x48. Dogs melted under that

Awesome. They did a good job. They might actually get it tonight.

 

[BTA]

Definitely just got walked in on by someone inspecting apartments because I didn't hear them open the door due to my headphones.

honestly my room being a mess is probably the more awkward part

 

[Teddified]

my main problem during these figure out sections is that brad doesn't really feel like he contributes until everything is figured out then he leads them.

 

[Stoze]

The Sandbird strikes again

 

[Xater]

my main problem during these figure out sections is that brad doesn't really feel like he contributes until everything is figured out then he leads them.

Well he knows how to do this and they want to do this blind.

 

[Cob32]

Killing those old men before warping spawns more adds into the room. Such a cruel trick by Bungie.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

my main problem during these figure out sections is that brad doesn't really feel like he contributes until everything is figured out then he leads them.

The worst for Brad must be a situation like now where they were on the right track, but then decide to do something totally different.

 

[jaina]

Brad is contributing to chat during the "figure out sections". (Thanks Death Metalist for posting some)
Vinny should edit these messages into the video before uploading it. I'm sure he won't mind a 20 hour rerender.

 

[Death Metalist]

 

[swimbuff]

Man they're so close to figuring it out. I'm gonna give Ben the benefit of the doubt and say good on him for his theories.

 

[Scizzy]

Dan needs to stop empathizing with Calus.

 

[Mupod]

As someone who has raided extensively in WoW as well as a ton in TTK-era Destiny, the sensitivity towards 'spoilers' took me off guard.

In WoW, you're expected to have read up and watched videos on every fight. Not everyone does it, but at the very least you'll have a few dedicated players who studied or even did the fight on PTR and can explain it well.

I've never been good at reading or watching but I learn very fast by doing the encounter myself. But I still feel obligated to at least read over the mechanics, and I started doing this before going into the King's Fall raid but my group actually got pissed when I mentioned reading up. I was completely baffled by this especially considering the absurdly obtuse nature of some of the mechanics and puzzles.

That said, I kind of get why. The moment when the 'real' Oryx fight starts was very memorable and none of us expected it. It was kind of fun puzzling some of that stuff out. But the only reason you can get away with it is because Destiny raids are small scale and comparatively easy compared to a traditional WoW raid.

I'm holding off on watching GB play it because I guess Destiny players rubbed off on me. But I'll be bringing WoW players into the raid and I'd imagine they will be like I was, and just look everything up because they'd feel like they were holding the group back if they didn't.

 

[Santiako]

Abby straight up not following the instructions now :/

 

[BTA]

all caluses are bastards

Also "it's not really much of a slide" YOU NAMED IT, DAN...
