[b]A little topic to brag, vent and complain about your ToO experience this weekend. [/b]
My Trials went quite well I must say. During the first week I got to 8 wins with the fireteam I prefer. Unfortunately real life schedules dictated that we couldn't retry.
However this week I got to 9 wins on both of my characters, can't tell you how sweet it was watching the cutscene for the first time. We started playing at 12am and were finally dancing on Mercury at about 4:30am. Not all of us had enough coins and we wanted the same card so we couldn't use boons (probably why it took so long). I kept waking up the girlfriend with loud call-outs, oohs, ahhs and -blam!-S! but it was totally worth it.
My second character had a much easier time for whatever reason. I had a feeling it was because it was a Monday. I am a solid player but no MLG Pro and I got to 9 wins with boons my first try, without my first choice fireteam. Maybe the all-stars were finished for the weekend?
I was indifferent about the map but it grew on me. I never love a map that snipers can dominate but I got used to the key points for map control pretty fast and Pantheon is way more tactical than I ever imagined it was when it first came out. I am very curious to see what this weekend's map is.
Seems like a lot of people dealt with lag/cheaters. I consider myself lucky. Everyone one in awhile you have that enemy who skips around and glitches but overall all of my opponents were on the up and up.
How did you do? What pissed you off? What made you feel like this is all worth it?
[b]Update:[/b] Some awesome stories shared thus far, keep them coming! Everyone is pretty positive in this topic which is rare on these forums as most of you know lol. Those of you who are offering help for next weekend already are the real MVP's. If you haven't gotten to the Lighthouse yet don't give up!

Flawless again. Full Trials Gear. Still no shader. Not worrying about it. Was fun as always.
-
I didn't even attempt it; probably won't attempt it this week either. I don't find it to be any fun at all.
-
1 ReplyPlayed IB, no trials. What map was it?
-
Well my team news back surgery from all the carrying they were doing :)
-
Lighthouse once, 8 win another time. Was carried the whole way but don't care.
-
4 RepliesMan I feel you, I finally made it to the lighthouse on my hunter. I was the clutch/support guy. On my hunter I didn't even use the boon or the forgiveness. I went in on my lock afterwards, and went 9-2. Still happy with the gold tier rewards. I ended up with a solar scholar with not so good rolls

went flawless with my friends, and were not great at all. we started out the weekend going 0-3 multiple times and kept at it, found a strat, had some fun, and finally got 9-0 on monday. got a hawkmoon, the trials shotty, and a void trials scout along with 3 etheric light. best weekend in destiny.

1 ReplyWell, you're assuming I was [i]good[/i]. If I ever went to the Lighthouse, I'd have to sell my loot to pay for my team's surgery, since they'll probably get a hernia from all the carrying.

Flawless
-
I'm still grinding for that f**king Titan mark...
-
1 ReplyI had two great saves. More like one was awesome and the other one was the actual save. Someone reply so I can post the video later
-
went 1/27 in total, said screw it and finally did the thorn bounty. Will work on abusing snipers this week.
-
3 flawless runs, one which I did to just help some people out. And I even managed to grind to rank 5 in IB yesterday to get Gheleon's.
-
Absolutely horrible. Went 0-5
-
Finally went 9-0 but got to Mercury and got the same freaking weapon for the third time. I ha[b][i][u][/u][/i][/b]te the scholar.
-
Tried like 5 times and then finally we went 9-0 on our 9th we were down 4-1 and I was choked didn't think we would be we ended up catching up and winning it was so intensely fun and nerve racking
-
Played one match, saw that it was the worst map in the game, and haven't played since.
-
I dreamed that I kicked are. It was magical
-
My team challenged ourselves. No boons. 9 straight. A couple games we were down on other teams match point but steady hands and some trickery did the job.
-
Got to 7 and 0 and 8 and 0 before losing, but since I've been to the lighthouse I wasn't super bothered by it. And the matches I lost were 5 to 0 so we got steam rolled by pros
-
Horrible. I did well the first two weeks because they were on maps I knew well and seemed a bit more balanced to accommodate either spawn. I went to the lighthouse 4 times in week 1 & 2. This week I barely managed one 5 won ticket. The map caused me problems and most of the average to bad players didn't bother this week with IB going on at the same time. Hopefully I'll get back on track this week because last week was demoralizing
-
Went flawless on all three... Using a legendary scout rifle.
-
Only got to try once last week and got to 8 before losing. Got flawless last night for the first time. Got etheric light, void auto, emblem, and cloak. Bought gauntlets
-
Went flawless. on both characters, Got the shader, ship and class items which was nice. Landed a solar jewel of Osiris... which has a bugged model. but its no the end of the world.
-
One flawless run and two mediocre runs
-
Got up to 7 wins then stopped had to restart a passage because cheaters ddos'd my friend so we lost this was before the ban wave btw so like on Friday
