What I need from a Raid Team

1) I don't care what your light level is. If you can survive, I can teach you the raid. If you can't survive, your 400 means nothing. 2) It's not that you have a squeaky voice or that you're 12; it's that you won't shut the -blam- up. 3) No one wants to hang out and emote at each other while you get a pizza, load a bong, or watch a YouTube video "real quick." Be ready or GTFO. 4) I would rather teach someone how to run the sword than wait 20 minutes for your friend, the awesome swordbearer, to finish playing Trials. 5) If we wipe because someone made a simple mistake; it's not necessary to recap the entire strategy. It's super unnecessary to debate using a new strategy. If the player knows what they did wrong, just restart and try again. 6) My willingness to let players "try something" degrades over time. If we're blowing through, I want someone new to run relic/sword for experience. If we've been here for 2 hours, it's time to lock it up and get it done. 7) Do not strafe when everyone is firing rockets! Stand still! 8) I'm not going to call you out for using a stupid weapon. I used to run raids with the dumbest weapons I could think of, just because. But if someone else calls you out for using a shotgun to damage Warpriest, I won't feel sorry for you. 9) If the team needs to call Oracles, Servitors, Oryx slamming, etc. This is not story time. This is not time for you to serenade us or crank up the Weeknd so that we can all enjoy it. Shut up and listen for your cue. We can all jam out to your crappy music on the way to the tower. 10) All that cool Osiris gear is just going to make me extra disappointed in you for breaking the rules above. Edit: Thank you so much for all the responses. If only my novels could get this kind of response! Anyways, some of the players who replied seem to be getting their panties in a twist over this list of demands. I added "#funny" up top to help some of our slower members realize this is a HUMOROUS post. Also there seems to be a lot of concern over my low number of raid completions. Although no one has given me a specific requirement, I apparently haven't done enough raids. These erudite posters have forced me to make a very startling admission about myself that will undoubtedly shed light on my lack of completions: [spoiler]Destiny isn't the only thing in my life.[/spoiler] If you liked this post, please check out my articles on Planet Destiny. I have weapon reviews and my infamous "Rejected Grimoire Cards." Trigger Warning: If you're the type who feels like I don't have enough experience to write about Destiny, you're probably going to get pretty butt hurt over my audacity to review exotics, too.

    And youre sharing this because...? If you're that concerned, just put this is youre raid posts. You haven't ever carried the sword.... You only have 24 raid completions in total, and you're teaching people about raids. [i] Beggars can't be choosers.[/i] And why get disappointed in trials gear, don't you have any yourself? Surely people can wear whatever they want.

    • You'd be incredibly surprised how wrong #5 can be. Switching up strategy, placement/timing of various things has been my constant go-to when it comes to remedying a bad raid run.

      No butthurt, but even doubling your playtime doesn't get you there. I love it when people who barely play this game try to give advice, post commentary, and make weapons reviews. It's like my 12 year old trying to give me insight into life. #tryplayingthisgamemore

      • If its a raid that is so easy (*COUGH* Crota's End *COUGH*) then yeah, let's dick around, it's easy to do anyways (Hell, even I soloed it in a hour on Normal.) If it's VoG, Kings Fall, or WOTM, then the rules apply or else you're gone. [spoiler]Unless it's Vosik Phase 1 on WOTM, the jumping puzzles, Opening the Vault, and Relics on Kings Fall, then it's dicking around. [/spoiler]

      • If you're ever in the mood to help a noob learn to raid, look me up. You're who I'd want for a teacher and I'm the kind of "student" that listens. BTW: what novels?

      • What I need from a raid team is for that one guy who rages and calls people stupid muther-blam!-ers to GTFO. Especially if it's a group that's never played together. That type of crap makes everyone even more nervous than they already were. Calmly explain what's going wrong then move on. If they still can't get it, then ask them to leave. Yelling and cursing doesn't help anything.

              • Man up and stop blaming others for ones own mistakes. We've all raided with this guy. His deaths are never his own fault.

                    • Once I ran Aksis Phase 2. We had a guy on Cannons, he thought it was a good idea to carpet bomb the Servitor. And after using all ten shots and not telling us to wipe, he thinks he can still kill it. Why did we not tell him to let the shot sit for a second? Because he told us he knew what to do.

                    • Humor like this goes over my head, maybe it did the same to others. This humor just sounds too real to be humor when I hear or read it.
