I HAVE BEEN RAIDING SINCE 9 IN THE MORNING.

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.

  • I did oryx challenege with randoms. It took a few runs to get in sync but then we got it. Maybe like 30-45min tops Usually though, late in the week all the good people have done the raid. So only the shitty people are left

  • Did it with two different friend sets then log randoms.. Randoms was actually fastest, but was a good group. Even had a 320 in.

  • Hey pal, sorry about your luck. Some advice I have is try to get your raids in Tuesday/Wednesday. A lot of the "good" players are used to the reset and we get our raids in asap. Not much else worth doing now that nightfalls and heroics are garbage. Bungie really -blam!-ed up this game

  • This is basically why I have given up on Destiny. I love the game, have around 1k hours in it, but I'm usually online at times where my friends aren't for the most part. So I have to use LFG and I just can't do it anymore, it's too frustrating to smash through everything and then sit at Oryx for hours just to see someone die every single -blam!-ing time due to their inability to kill Ogres or Knights or even jump up on the pads in the right order...

    • Most of the good players are usually raiding between Tuesday and Friday. Raiding with randoms after that is quite tricky.

      • It's lagg dude. If anyone is lagging in your party the ogres start to teleport and really -blam!- it up for everyone.

        • If we take much longer than half an hour and we still haven't gotten it down. I bail. felt this last night. because there was one guy who had never done it, so the leader spent roughly 20 minutes explaining each part, then we got to sisters and for some reason we just could not handle it.

        • Word. "Have experience" means nothing to this community. I swear, 95% of all players who join under this requirement are thinking "they can carry me, it's fine".

        • I feel bad for players stuck in this scenario. Best advice would be to start or join an existing clan that plays the same times you do.

          • Don't waste your time doing challenge mode with lfg randoms. Learn with your own group and save yourself a lot of frustration.

            The oryx challenge is incredibly basic, it is literally a case of shoot a knight and 2 acolytes in the head, maybe an acolyte eye which is also a one shot, that is it. I have carried newbies through the raid and I have seen some tremendously stupid plays and decisions but for some reason at Oryx everyone just doesn't kill their ads. For anyone that reads this, if your on a pad at Oryx, when your ogre dies you simply look acroos to the opposite pad and to the side of the pad will be a knight spawning through the floor and 2 acolytes with an occasional centurion, just snipe them, it is pathetically easy to do, it blows my mind when I am in the middle killing the 4th ogre and I am getting shot to hell by 2 acolytes and 2 eyes right in the middle? Why the shit are they there? I know how this thread feels, I get that not everyone is a good player and some people just play for fun, but im sorry Oryx challenge mode and the raid full stop is the pinnacle of the games PVE content, please don't come in unless your serious about actually wanting to finish it, you WILL be required to shoot things, you cannot be carried through the raid or this encounter on hard, you are required to pull your own weight around, unless your stupidly lucky and stumble upon a team that is as good as the legend himself. Christmas Zealot, if you need a solid Oryx player who knows it all inside out and beaten the raid over a 100 times, feel free to inbox me if you need assistance, if you dare to try this again, I will happily help, good luck. Edit: I am on PS4, pm me if you need help and I will see if I can oblige

            • If you have something hard/important to do then make sure you get it done on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest....otherwise you get stuck attempting it with all the potatoes.

            • Went in with my IRL friend and his pals (and a gal). Got to the Totems section before Warpriest and we couldnt even pass that. After 2 hours (those ppl already finished the raid) I simply gave up at 1:30 AM... The initial plan was Golgy challange lol. Ppl kept fuking up the totem runing, didnt pay attention to the timer in the bottom left and kept being killed by a fuking wizzard... I just cant anymore. Iam done.

              • Did it pretty quick with people from recruitment section but I know what you mean. I suggested that they use a sleeper on the ogres but they didn't listen. After 6 wipes and people not being able to kill their own Knights I gave up. Luckily I only need to complete it on one other character.

                • I feel your pain. Spent 4 hours last night with 3-4 groups trying to do the challenge and I really don't get why people die or cannot kill the knight. It really isn't hard. I used LFG and got in groups that posted tough talk like "know what you're doing, 315+ only". I was 313 and didn't mess up once, killed the knight every single time with 2 headshots, killed my ogre at spawn, never died in the echo part and even helped on the final ogre and knight. Will have a crack at it tonight prob but damn...not dying is the key so don't die.

                • A suggestion, if someone dies in any case ask them what killed them and give them direction of how to stay alive, in reality the guy who holds the first platform has the highest chance of getting killed, if second or third platform is dying they are doing something wrong, the people in the middle with bubble should never die, everyone should help with the ogre next to them and across from them, the knights should be a 2 head KO, you then have 2/3 adds and maybe an eye to kill and you go middle. Its pretty straight forward once you have a half decent team just gotta advise the people who do die on how to avoid repeat deaths. As you said sometimes its glitching, if the ogre doesn't die quick enough they teleport thats usually down to someone on a platform not helping, if the shade kills someone that can just be bad luck, if the runner falls more than once change that person out. if all the bombs didn't go off someone didn't stand in it for long enough.
