Never get greedy...

...in a nightfall. Perhaps my tale of woe will convince you of the wisdom of this statement. Me, my brother and a buddy stormed omnigul's sanctuary last night. Blood was spilled. Many revives were performed, at times heroically. On numerous occasions we each found ourselves to be the last man standing and rallied. At last we cleared a wave and had omnigul's health down to 10%. That's when fortune abandoned us. It began when my brother popped his radiance super on accident (I suppose we've all been there), thereby depriving us of a self-rez insurance policy. No matter. Her shield was down, so emboldened i leapt to her bridge and sent every round of my heavy mg in her direction. I watched in horror as I ran out of ammo at the point when she was probably 5 shots from falling (one rocket would have done the trick, but we were out of heavy). Now I should have just jumped down, gotten to cover, reloaded and cleared the adds patiently, but greed is a seductive mistress. Instead I called out "Everyone dps the boss!" And switched to my primary scout rifle. My two compatriots came out of cover at my direction and began looking for an angle. That's when we realized that we had one of the bonus wizards and two boomer Knights from the darkest recesses of the room still up. Alas I was fell'd by a mighty boom from a knight. My buddy was mowed down by an onslaught from the other knight and the wizard. My brother (who should have had a self-rez) was the last man standing. As my friend began the "no, No, NO!" chant, I shouted "stay up!" But it was too late. He was killed by a parting boomer shot as he fled for cover. As we watched the death screen, I was left with the harrowing sound of omnigul's sadistic cackle in my ear, and the vision of her health bar with the tiniest sliver of yellow remaining. Then we were in Orbit with 40 minutes of precious my-wife-and-kids-are-sleeping game time floating away on a breeze. Do not weep for me guardians. Save your remorse for the weak. I am strong and I will persevere as our civilization does in defiance of the haunting darkness. Instead learn the lessons my mistakes have to teach, so that we may all become more perfect versions of our own resilience, and so that our collective legend may continue to grow. Heed my words: never get greedy in a nightfall. And for the traveller's sake clear the adds before putting dmg in the boss people. That's just sloppy. Edit: Thanks for all the tales of fails guys. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who loses his focus and goes bananas to the detriment of his fire team from time to time.

  • After several attempts, sometimes not even making it to her, my team finally got her down to about a tenth. We had been extremely careful, only letting one go out from cover after we had (we thought) cleaned up all the ads. Like the OP, when we saw her health bar drop to a sliver we smelled blood and got greedy. 2 went out to pile on damage, even though she had just screached. I had went left and was tracking with my sniper when I gigantic freaking sword filled my scope and caved in my noggin. At the same time, the guy who went right got wizard balls crammed up his ---, and our lone guardian remaining got overran attempting to revive him. My stubborn ass probably would kept trying, but as you all know you can only tell a 5 year old '10 more minutes and it will be your turn' so many times before a catastrophic meltdown occurs. Patience, guardians, patience...
