********** SHERPAFEST 2016 **********

Kimbot

Lads/Lassies,

Last time we ran this is was a good laugh last November, we got the following done:

Hard VoG, Hard CE and Skolas

Now this time around we have Kings Fall to add to the mix.

So what is Sherpafest I hear you say............

Well basically its a few of the dab hands at raids taking a few fresh faced guardians through the raids explaining how to run them etc.
So Noobs dont be afraid and use this as your chance to get more involved in the clan and get to know a few more of the members.

So depending on numbers we can have a few groups on this so in the spirit of a bit of fun we will have a little friendly competition amongst the groups on times to complete etc. (Maybe even a no HUD challenge aswell :P)

So it doesnt matter if you never done a raid or your a riad pro everyone is welcome. I propose stretching it over 2 Friday Nights?

Who's up for it?

Generic Dreadhead

Back of the queue!!

I'm in.

nevelator

Yep, I'm in also.

Kimbot

Grand job lads, in terms of when to run it I propose starting next week (Oryx Challenge would be grand for most Noobs in terms of learning mechanics) so that would be the 8th of July.

Oh also for anyone unfamiliar with any of the raids just pop it in your reply which ones youve done etc so we can spread out the groups

Put me on the bench and if you are short numbers I am happy to step in as a substitute if you see me online

SolvableKnave

I'll throw my name in for this and that.

PlainP

I'd be up for it as well. Count me in.

klose

Count me in lads, am a raid virgin bar soloing the first part of crota on my hunter.!

Add me on psn scottwellboi, already part of the boards clan 2 on it.

Edit: should mention i wont be on a whole ton over the weekend if at all.! Usually am good for good long sessions however.

AbusesToilets

I'd be down

Angron

I'm down to be lead through the raids. Won't be around from the 8th until the 13th, but I can do stuff around those dates.

jarain

I'd be well up for it as well. Have done vault of glass during Sherpafest '15 but not done Crota. Have done the sisters at Oryx but that's it.

Have caught the bug again after logging in for a few iron banner games!!!

Muppet Man

Yeah - put me done for XBONE

GT - SharperKiller
Light 335

Think I have done them all at some point on easy & hard, except skolas.

Forgotten all of them at this stage and I had no f-in clue what was happening on the final boss in the TKK raid...

Available most friday nights. Depending on start time I might be able to get a few Yanks on board too.

Chieftain

I've never gotten the Kingsfall done. Would love to get the Oryx bit of it done.

GT is Steelglint67 and i'm on Xbox one

Kimbot

We dont have too many for Xbox one so far but I know of 3 lads that have done Kings Fall a few times so I will ask them to jump on board for this if we dont have better numbers by Thursday

Its Oryx challenge this week so for loot and ease of mechanics I say its Kings Fall tonight and maybe Crota after if there is time. I dont mind been a sub so its down to the following for a run with the 2 lads:

PlainP
AbusesToilets

To the lads on the xbox one, i will get one of the lads to add you later, they are looking at run starting at around 8pm for kings fall tonight.

OptimusTractor

Working till 10 tonight. If I'm on at all be about half past.

dudeeile

On the PS just arrange a KF and try to fit 1 noob in for tonight, getting Oryx down is initially a right pain as there is a lot going on

I'm pretty sure I can raid tomorrow night so we can fit someone else in there if one can be arranged.

No problem at all, might not go ahead tonight the way things are looking but we always have been very accommodating so change of times etc should be ok.

Depending on what time I get back I could still get on so don't rule me out completely.

Muppet Man

No problem, my son is doing the xbox raids so I told him to add you and send you a message to sort it out. His GT is Motorh34d12 and he is really god dam good at destiny as most of the lads on the PS4 found out when he hijacked mine :P

You say highjacked, we say forced into playing on your account to improve your crucible stats.

No no, it was at a time when he had no interest in any other game other than COD. I wanted to broaden his horizons..... asked if he wanted to play 1 game to see what he thought. He played 1 game and wiped up, disappeared downstairs for a while then came back and hijacked my ps4 for hours because he became an addict haha

In fairness his stats are unreal, I must check his Xbone stats to see what he is at:

Dam....... his stats are good

Sweet I'll be on tonight but my internet is kicking up a stink the last couple of days, would love to give it a run though.!

Chieftain

would love to get Oryx done at some stage if there is any room for a not very good player on XBone. Might be able to persuade my son to step in instead of me - he is much handier than me at Destiny

dudeeile

Skolas was knocked out last night for the first time with someone who couldn't be classed as a noob, we tried it legit but there was some sneaky sword play involved as we were running against the clock.

Got a full KF hard done from start to finish with one of the lads who had never done any raid before so that was surprising to say the least, it all went seriously well beating the start, ship jumps, relay and warpriest first time, I think Golgoroth was on the second attempt. Started getting some funky lag at the sisters but all done pretty smooth.

To drop Oryx was a bonus, had a few runs just getting a feel for things, bombs, shade and the like and when we went for it, it got done pretty quickly also. Start to finish in about 2hr 45mins.

Went on to CE after that, loaded another guy in, he had 1 completion behind him I think, easily messed around on Crota for a good 30mins but still completed it in 1hr 15mins.

In our wisdom we then decided to do a good ol VoG, loaded up some randomer from reddit and got him his first completion. We spent what seemed like an eternity on the Oracles and then the Templar but Atheon was dropped during the first time's vengeance. All in all only 1hr 45mins to finish.

I had mighty craic but was on the downward spiral at logging off time, watched a bit of UFC then hit the cot.

I had actually forgot how much fun VoG is, it's a shame that Atheon is now so easy to drop, if you had to work a little harder on that final encounter I think it would be even more enjoyable. I used a year 1 primary throughout but really to make it that bit more challenging I think year 1 weapons only would be mighty good fun.

I'm looking forward to running VoG a bit more between now and RoI.

klose

Great fun playing with ye lads, looking forward to knocking out some more raids etc with ye. Have a bit of an idea of the raid mechanics so hopefully can improve

Dude I think we got golg on the first try it was a seriously smooth few runs and I managed to bag a ghorn from it too

Jumping ship, relay race, Warpriest and Golgoroth were all done 1st time. Lag issues at sisters & oryx held us up.

Chieftain

Big thanks to Motorh34d12 & the rest for the help with Kingsfall last night. Warpriest & Golgoroth done and hopefully will get Oryx done tonight. Thankfully my son was doing it for me, so was a lot smoother than if it was me. Really appreciate the help.

Glad yis got up and running, ah you should drop Oryx no real problems tonight
