[quote]Until last night I was you, so I get it. I've never been much of a raider and I was always concerned that my low light, lack of good gear or experience would hold the team back. But something happened last night that changed my mind. Story time: Necrocasm was the gun I was most excited for with age of triumph and I was super disappointed that it was locked behind the 390 CE raid. Last night I put a post up on lfg explaining that I was a novice raider but I was really willing to listen and learn from others. Got picked up surprisingly quick by an experienced raider that was willing to show me the ropes. StillI was still super nervous loading in. I straight up explained to everyone that I'm not the best raider and that I'd really appreciate someone explaining the best strategy for each encounter. I already knew how they worked from YouTube and the one yr1 normal run I had done, but I thought it was worth stating as I was rust as hell. Thing is I feel like it made the team better. Everyone was super understanding and the fact that the strategy was explained before each encounter made sure everyone knew their roles and what to do. Before each encounter we were all on the same page and the run went by really smoothly. Sure we wiped a couple of times but we stopped and assessed where we went wrong each time, thus we got better as a team as we went. Soon enough we had cleared all the challenge modes and downed crota. All in all it was one of the funniest experiences I have had playing destiny and as we all exchanged friend requests and the team broke up I found myself wondering - why did I wait this long to do this. Even now I'm not really sure why I feel so compelled to write this giant post. But for anyone on the fence that reads this get in there and give it a crack. Sure you may not get a great group first go, but when you do it's so worth it. At the very least your gaining experience along the way. Its worth it!!!! Walks off to shoot sh1t with my shiny new necrocasm. TLDR: bite the bullet, dive in, its so rewarding. I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. EDIT 1: not really sure why I thought necrocasm wasn't going to be tied to the raid. I just figure it was going to be more of a yr3 gjhallarhorn/ thorn like quest. It's worth the effort to get it though. EDIT 2: WooHoo!!!! Just cleared WoTM for the first time and got genesis chain. Exploding auto rifles everywhere!!!!![/quote] Bump

Good for you bro I'm happy to hear there are good people around still. RAID ON BROTHER!!!

390 hunter looking to join anywhere in the Crota raid add epiczzz_modzz

I am not an experienced raider and really just started weekly raiding the past couple months. Did all challenges on my Warlock, Titan and Hunter. Got all adept primaries. Lots of fun. Jump in there. There are alot if great people out there.

Only reason I went into crota, even with my low light, was cause I know what to do (apart from challenge)!

It helps that in Crota's End you can be absolute dead weight and not affect the team much except for trying to do the Ir Yut challenge.

Destiny is wildly flawed but the satisfaction of a raid completion is unmatched.

I'm not hesitant I either forget or something else comes up I can't find a team or I am playing something else

You had a positive experience because unlike many others, you were honest. It is way better to be upfront if you are new to raids. People will be much more understanding and willing too help if you just admit you don't have much experience. Also it helps if you follow directions if you don't know what to do. A couple of times this week I was with a few guys that decided to do whatever they wanted. Needless to say we failed challenge many times.
