Don't be afraid of the Raid

So, I’m just pretty average at Destiny. Wasn’t in a clan or anything. Had 4 other mates that played. Wasn’t really that high a level. The Raid seemed a long ways off. Especially considering I’d never done a Nightfall at the time. I remember jumping on the forums to find a random group one drunken Friday night and it was an Atheon checkpoint. I got annihilated - only one guy knew what we should be doing … and he was Norwegian. Never got close to beating it. Really put off. Another week passed by and I finally said “Feck this, I NEED to do the Raid” Got 4 mates together, and tried to go in with 5. Even just loading the thing up was exciting! Now, I’d done my homework and thought it looked straight forward enough. Yeah right, got our arses kicked for 45 mins trying to get in. Some guys were only L26, so was hard. Got a 6th random from the Tower. Cut to 12 GAMING HOURS LATER and we finally defeat Atheon the next day. Only got shards and Corrective Measure the whole time. Was as torturous as it was hilarious and one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had but… “Balls to doing THAT again!” I thought. Did a few cheeky solo pushes on a few Forum-gained checkpoints instead (sorry!). Got a Sparrow and a Ship. But, that wasn’t enough. I was missing out and I had to scratch that itch! So got the old crew together again a week later. Jumped in. Beat the Raid in 2 hours. Point being: It is SOOO hard the first time through, even on normal. ESPECIALLY if you’re all running it for the first time. BUT it gets so much easier. It’s like the first time I beat Sepkis Prime on the Alpha vs doing it now. I know 2 hrs is still really slow - still had newbies with us at L26-27. But I can’t stress how much simpler it was the second time around. Goes to show how much perseverance and experience come in to play and, boy, what a difference they made! So, jump into the Raid - no matter who with and no matter how long it takes. It’s amazing and I’ve made a few great PSN friends from it. THEN go back in again - even if you stand to win nothing… you’ll be shocked at how much better it is, and you’ll be getting better at it, ready for when the rewards reset. Don’t be afraid of the Raid! I was, but now it fears me!! (lol really?)

  • sounds like my last 2 weeks lol, nice job! I find the biggest challenge is getting 6 players lol. Got a few people on the 360 now so might even have enough for 2 teams in 1 evening! Think we got 10 people currently so might have to stagger play times and have 2 people do it more than once (or at least start parts of it)
