Destiny 2 Sherpafest (PS4 Leviathan: Oct 17th-23rd)

Generic Dreadhead

Hi All,

What is it?
So most of you are probably familiar with the concept of a Clan-wise "Sherpafest". It's essentially a time for experienced Raiders to help guide, explain and "Sherpa" newer or less experienced players through the Raid.

How does it work?
Players can sign up by replying to this thread and outlining if they are willing to Sherpa (help others) or would like to be Sherpee'd (be taken through the Raid)

When is it?
Across a selection series of evenings that suit the 6 players who end up in your group

What do I need?
A working mic/headset
Be Power Level 265 (this is achievable with a few hours of finishing the campaign) at minimum, higher is better but not necessary
About 2-3 hours

How will teams be made?
Generally in the past, where possible, we've tried to match 4 experienced players with 2 players who have some/little/no raid experience

What now?
Reply below and outline what days/evenings you are free and if you are:
Willing to Sherpa (and how many characters/raids you'd be willing to do it on in that week)
Have some Raid experience, but have not completed the entire Raid/individual encounters
Have No Raid experience

PLEASE LIST YOUR PSN NAME

Mitch Connor

In - Sherpa (or as I suck at explaining things concisely, I'm willing to be one of the experienced players helping the new runners).

Generic Dreadhead

I should point out I am also down to Sherpa newbies. I'm free weekday evenings after 8pm and weekends from 6pm

Kimbot

Throw me down to Sherpa, available most evening from 6ish

dudeeile

Down to sherpa, most evenings from 7pm.

Angron

I wouldn't be much use at describing stuff, but I've done the raid a few times so I know what I'm doing pretty well if another head is needed. Free most evenings from around 6ish.

Back on Topic.

If there are heads needed for late starts (:rolleyes:) I can be used as an "experienced" head. Know the mechanics, but there's a reason I'm not a teacher.

Yakuza

I'd love to be a Sherpee (Power just north of 270). 8PM starts are fine for me, if it's not a school night the youngfella I'm sure would be willing to drag his old man through the encounters. Presumably not Prestige Mode (is that due out this week?) for the moment?

ginger_hammer

Can I go down for sherpa'd please. I'm 300 but have never tried raid yet. I can make time whenever necessary.

CDBWhoop

Happy to help out even if its just to make up the numbers. Online most evenings from 9.

Generic Dreadhead

Fwiw, basically when we have all the names, At the end of this week/start of next week, I'll put together a comprehensive list of some rough teams/schedule. Then it'll be on your individual group of 6 to work out specifics etc

PetKing

Would like to put my name down as a sherpee please. Haven't run the raid yet. Weeknights suit me mostly. Can anyone recommend good raid mechanic videos to watch? I had avoided them as the encounters seems to be an odd order and it put me off watching. Didn't want to watch out of sequence.

Rez's be like

My name is URL

Stick me down as a semi-sherpa. I've completed the raid about ten times now and and know the mechanics. Explaining **** to others is where I'll struggle

Tazzimus

Similar position myself. Have a few completions now so happy to semi-sherpa also. Will be good for two runs I'd say, preferably weekend runs, one Friday, one Saturday.

riggerman

MADMADRA32 here , still haven't finished the raid . Will be available Saturday evening/ night for someone to drag my behind through. Currently at 296 light .

Generic Dreadhead

I say we still go ahead with the week mentioned in the thread title, despite the Prestige Raid being pushed back to the same week. Maybe those of us who want to give Prestige a shot can do it the Tuesday and focus on some of the other 6 evenings to be Sherpaing. Bringing it forward a week would be a bit hasty imho and pushing it back a week will mean lack of interest and the play base slowly dwindling realistically.

Im not pushed with Prestige mode at the moment TBH so I can fire ahead with Sherpa Runs on the tuesday.

Also didnt I see that the prestige mode isnt available until Wednesday? 18th.

Mitch Connor

I'm quite happy to give Sherpa-Fest Priority. Prestiege feels like it will be a lot of banging my head against a wall for no reason - a new shader and an aura IF we complete it? Yay?

roadie_2013

I would like to be a sherpee as well please. Just shy of 300 but have not tried raid at all yet

Is there new armour for it too?

Mitch Connor

jonnycivic wrote: »

I think so, but it has no new perks (from what I have heard) so it is just a different cosmetic.

No new weapons, no new armour perks and no light level increase.

Apart from saying you have done it, I don't see what the goal of doing it is?

After you have completed it once what is the point of running it again when normal mode will be easier and basically just as rewarding.

EDIT: Sorry, not suitable conversation for this thread.

Yeah, though it's just the NM set with a different shader, I think.

Yeah unless you need to have the armour I see no point.

McMafia77

Jesus dont get too excited man. :pac:

Dr Rod Doom

Can I get in as a Sherpee? No Raids done in D2 yet, I'm at about 293 now, should be up a bit by next week after Iron Banner, hopefully
I'll be online about 9:30/ 10:00 on Friday or a bit earlier on Sunday

Wonda-Boy

Gladly help out if stuck for numbers to help anyone new.

Josey Wales

I'd like to be taken through the Raid.

I'm level 301 at I think but I haven't attempted this new Raid yet. Unfortunately it is hard to get the 3 or so hours required so my best chance is weekend evening/night.

Hey lads,
I'll be around this weekend - haven't finished the raid yet.
I've done the Gauntlet, Pleasure Garden and Calus.

Let me know if there are spots available.

not that you can't run the raid this weekend.... but this sherpafest is planned for starting Tuesday.
