I'm not a fan of the Skolas fight, but I do think the poison-passing mechanic is really cool- And it could be improved by a better visual indicator then a timer (which can be obscured) on one person's screen. Maybe a green shield/glow effect that becomes more opaque as the timer counts down?

Luckily it happened at not awful times, and didn't cause any wipes, but I died quite at least three times when I had the poison, because even with the timer and screen distortion, I forgot I had the damn thing. I know, I'm an idiot. But I would just drop dead and be like, "What happened? Oh yeah, I had the poison, sorry guys."

I echo your sentiments on the difficulty level as well. I thought the mechanics were really fun, and definitely forced us to think and play differently.

Thanks to Houndzilla and especially Cyber for the help yesterday.

I found the entire Skolas PoE to be challenging but not overly so. The final boss fight was really fun and required lots of concentration and teamwork. I liked it a lot.

I binged on Destiny a good bit this weekend:

Nightfall x3; Saturday Raid (VoG Hard) with Kermit & Friends; Sunday morning newbie Raid (VoG Normal); Skolas x1; PoE 34 x3; PoE 32 x2; weekly heroic x2.

Anyway, glad I could help!

Beautiful. I really hope I get time to play a little bit before TTK's launch - Skolas is the only thing I have left for the Moments of Triumph, and I'm not positive I'm going to find the time needed to finish it. :(

You have plenty of time (22 days) to find a couple of hours to do it. No guarantee of success (unless a couple of vets help you), but it's a fun time, and one of the more unique boss battles in the game.

This makes me twitch a little, from the withdrawal symptoms. This was the first week in a really long time I wasn't even able to log in, much less play.

Try finding time for two consoles. :P

I had been away from Destiny off and on for a few weeks (months?) now. My weekend binge was directly related to these past few weeks of craziness in my life. I was exhausted from lots of stuff (new job, moving, overbooking myself socially, etc). So this weekend I basically just vegged out and played Destiny.

I feel surprisingly refreshed today at work, haha.

Well done! I agree it was a great mix.

Did you have time to eat?

Good question. That's a lot of Destiny.

I always enjoy playing with you, Marmot.
