Crota's End Raiding Expedition :: Dec. 14 @ 8:30am PST (Recruitment)

by Beorn @, <End of Failed Timeline>, Wednesday, December 03, 2014, 17:01 (3494 days ago)

With The Dark Below just around the corner, I know a bunch of us will be chomping at the bit to dive into the Hellmouth and lay waste to Crota and his minions! Since the expansion lands on a Tuesday, most of us won't be able to dedicate the requisite time for a fresh raiding experience until the weekend. This should also give us a little bit of time to work on Eris' story missions and possibly rank up some gear before we start.

Therefore, we're setting up a Crota's End Raiding Expedition on Sunday, December 14th. We drop from orbit at 8:30am PST. Sign up below if you're interested! There are a few requisites to this event, however:

  • Light Level 30Crota's End starts at 30. By the time we launch, your Guardian must be at least Light 30. You should also have all weapons at 300+ AP.
  • No Spoilers! – A massive part of the enjoyment for a first-time raid experience is the sense of teamwork and exploration. Don't watch videos, read articles, or even look at posts about the raid. Everyone goes in cold. No exceptions.
  • Clear Your Schedule – This is going to take most of the day. Please expect to set aside 7-8 hours. We'll take some breaks as needed, of course, but please plan accordingly.
  • Microphone – Communication is key, so your mic must be in working order.
  • Excellency – Plan on being excellent to one another. We're going to fail. A lot. Laugh it off and move along, it's all part of the game.

If you meet these criteria and are excited to dive into the Hellmouth, post below and we'll get you added to the roster. If there's demand for 360 and PS4 teams, we'll build rosters for those, too.

So I'm not going to be able to get The Dark Below for some time. For my first run, everybody's okay with pretending they haven't done it 10 times by then, right?

And nobody's going to talk about ANY of the DLC on the forum, right?

...Right?

You won't be alone in not buying the expansion right away. I'm planning on waiting until after the Holidays at least so we should be able to find a group who haven't done the new raid.

PS4 Raid

Im ostensibly doing this with my static group, but theyre a bunch of angry people so I cant imagine we'll get far before quitting. If I keep my mouth shut about what I have seen come Sunday, is that cool?


Obviously that's all dependent on whether there's a PS4 raid.

Assuming I can qualify by Sunday (I think I just need to level up my new guantlets), I'm a switch hitter when it comes to Xbox.

Right now we don't seem to have enough players yet to fill either team. We need more virgins! Do we need to post again to get the attention of those who have the forum posts ordered wrong?

Xbone. Warlock and my Titan should both be 30 by that point, if not higher. However, I may still have my family at my house, so I may be an extra like Pfhor.

I'll be running bounties tonight almost exclusively. I plan on playing with a friend who is a lower level and might not have the DLC yet. I'm uncertain.

Regardless, you're welcome to join. I won't be talking about brownies over the narration or anything. :)
