MORE THAN SIX TEAMS, NINE HOURS LATER ON ORYX, AND I AM DONE.
#Recruitment and this forum couldn't kill an ogre if they had a gun pointed to their head. They couldn't get a critical even WITH a night stalker shot. Having a team full of Titans and STILL make someone complain about not being SAFE in a BUBBLE and changing EVERYTHING.
I can't wrap my head around this. Honestly. I've been going at the challenge for a few days, changing roles without fail, and yet it's always either a glitch or, in most cases, someone can't handle their own task even with the aid of more than three players. If you REALLY were experienced, you'd take down your own ogres and Knights by yourself and STILL have enough time to help others. STAGGER THEM. Don't say they're "teleporting" if you aren't even doing a dang thing to stop them!!! Come ON.
And bombs: GET THEM!!! Make sure you're in the RINGS, that's what it MEANS. If I have to stay in the middle and watch as you mess up, call it out, and still not be able to get all the bombs, MORE THAN ONCE, then something inside your cranium is either turned off or rotting.
AND PEOPLE. DONT HOP ON TO PLAY IF YOU JUST WENT THROUGH A BREAK UP! Seriously! Why have the majority of my teams consist either of moaning zombies or guys with screaming kids PRACTICALLY ON THEIR LAP. My ears are still ringing, and I don't think they'll stop anytime soon.
Is it my fault for playing so long? Sure. I mean, it's not like I've been wanting to play SOMETHING after finishing my finals and ultimately the college semester. And of course, people have lives. Just...in a game of communication and being able to kill an enemy, it's important to COMMUNICATE AND KILL ENEMIES. Take care of your business before you play, read the requirements of my post, then join...for Gods sake.
No more. I am passive aggressive, but the sheer ineptness that I've witnessed just switched off that part of me. No more. From now on, I'll have specific requirements, including age, volume of voice + your surroundings, and how much time I'll give. I know now from experience that I can't post a simple "Let's get it done, be 310+". I understand now.
Good day. Goooood day.
Edit: Before I turn in for the day, I just want to say that this thread was made purely out of the frustration I had built up over time due to the challenge mode. I assure you that I am in fact a team player, and never once have I vocally gotten on someone's case prior to this, nor have I left a fireteam without at least saying thank you or take care. That's all.
And thank you to those who have offered their assistance; not sure if I'm going to attempt it tomorrow, but we'll see. My brain is still fried.
Update: at 4 ct I'll be running it again with a team from the100.io for about 45 mins, then I'll move on to those here that offered both their teams and aid.
And for all this time I've been on the forums (maybe four years?) I have never gotten so many replies. Whoa.

Just attempted to do just regular oryx hard, with a full team that had completed the challenge. Myself included. We were stuck for more than an hour. ON A PART WHERE THERE WAS NO CHALLENGE!!! I had to quit. [spoiler]There's nothing left...why can people not do the regular raid, yet have the challenge completed???[/spoiler]
-
Roughly an hour. done. no wipes, none of us knew each other, but we were chill.

Today, in about 2-3 hours, I completed the hard raid for all three of my characters, including the challenge (albeit it being the easiest challenge). I'd like to think that if I can beat it 3 times with this challenge, I can at least beat the oryx challenge once on reset day. My warlock is at 317 now, so I'm more ready than I was before.

What was getting to me was, I was the relic runner and every time I shouted out I have the relic the person on plate 3 always seemed to die before reaching the center for bubble protection. He kept getting killed for some reason i don't know why. So I thought I was running the platforms to fast that i didn't give him enough time to snipe his knight. So I slow down slightly and he still dies. One of the titans mentions he'll turn to help with the knight and they both get killed. FML!! I can't win. I ran all three roles in this part of the raid and I don't see the difficulty in this challenge. I've had close calls but didn't die I know how to hold my own. All you have to do is stay alive do your role and assuming everyone is doing theirs.

1 AntwortenI'd have killed myself. How'd you survive?

1 AntwortenRIP Guardian. LFG has taken another soul and tainted it with darkness.

Got on lfg with 2 buddies (one had never done hard mode), and we got a group and beat challenge mode in under 45 minutes. This is mainly because we had to wipe after we forgot to explain how to detonate orbs to my buddy and he was standing there shooting his pile of 4 orbs the first time... He was like, "I couldn't get my orbs to detonate, should I switch from rockets to LMG instead?"

16 AntwortenThis is why people put insane requirements on LFG groups 90% of the groups are retards.

2 AntwortenI feel the exact same way, I was raiding for 8 hours today, from 10 to 6 and I still couldn't find a team to kill Oryx
-
I KNOW THAT STRUGGLE MAN. I did it on my first character with a raid group not too long after reset. Went on my second the day after reset... Everything just went down hill, multiple raid groups thought no titans was a good thing.
-
I will say I had some issues with ogres teleporting ( not sure if glitch or actually mechanic) but it was due to not doing damage quickly enough because of those darn acolyte eyes. Still think it's a glitch because they've never done that to me before this raid and it doesn't happen until a lot of blights are out
-
Found a great team on here tonight. Just a few tries and Oryx challenge was toast. I'm sorry about your luck, that would be depressing.

1 AntwortenAnd y'all want Raid Matchmaking........ HA...

I honestly find the recruitment section a much better place to find teams, less squeakers and I beat oryx first try earlier today with a team from a forum post. Sorry to hear you didn't get the beat oryx though :/

1 AntwortenOryx challenge is hard. It should take at the most 45mis. And about 10 to know if you are in a bad team. Don't feel bad ditching a team. It's about feeling it out and eventually you'll find a team where you fit in. Honestly the hardest part is the shadow. I completed the challenge 3 times because I stood by the team that knew how to kill the shadow.

2 AntwortenThis is why I like playing with friends instead of randoms. Beat Oryx CM in less than 2 hours after it was released and cleared both of our other 2 runs on our 1st or 2nd attempts. I'm not saying we're better, but that having chemistry with a group makes it so much easier. We were able to help several others get through no problem. If you have to play with randoms, the earlier in the week, the better.

2 AntwortenRaided for 9 hours Still low light

I got it 4 try with randoms
-
This is what raiding was on the norm Get over it
-
Yeah It gets frustrating alot but once you find a good raid team like I did everything comes natural it took us 2 wipes to do oryx challenge mode. We get down to business and carry our own if you ever need anyone to raid with just send me an invite we'll be more than glad to help you out. I've helped so many people try to get weapons including the tom and spindle idk why people are so salty here always saying "git gud scrub" I like helping people what's the point of being good if I'm the only one that's going to enjoy it? I like helping people and ill go out of my way to help anyone out

Sorry for your headache dude. Sounds frustrating as hell.

2 AntwortenProblem might not be your teammates.

1 AntwortenI quit raiding with LFG a month ago when the team couldn't clear Totems. It was one of those "310 with ToM required" groups too. On one hand, I'm glad there are no real cheeses and that HM is difficult, on the other hand, without a regular team I just can't raid anymore. Not worth the headache.

Spent a few hours this morning, kids don't know knights, die, go afk without announcing it...was painful, chose to nap instead, went to work
