You are correct. I posted originaly looking for PS3 CoD4 teammates in 03/08 (and got crickets) I ran with a Gamebattles team from 08-09.
You posted in early 09 and had Chew (RIP miss ya brother) be the 1st to reply.
I didn't join until MW2 in 03/10 and the rest is history.

-Digiwok and I predated all of you on BFBC2. (haven't seen him in a while) There were many nights that he and I would play it after Warhawk and after CoD. We would both be like you guys gotta try this game and the majority of you guys ignored us. (sound like the Warframe situation)

I think you hit all the major games we played. BioShock 2 had some traction for a few weeks
RDR - God I miss killing Slider's horse. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
CoD - oh Frizby's on....let's send him an invite

The Bus

I remember playing with some of you guys before Warhawk and once that came out it seemed everyone abandoned whatever game we were playing for that one.

For anyone wondering why we are the C-team, the fist 3 points above and that will pretty much explain it.

For the most part, anytime Slider is on my team, my primary concern is to watch my back and then how am I going to push him off of a cliff.

Sauce and I were talking about it last night. When I think of Slider, i picture the guy from COD running at me with dual rangers. The first time we played Burnout and I saw Slider's old beat up Christine looking car at coming at me, my heart started beating faster and i got nervous. I have a physiological reaction to seeing John_Slider above a character. I can't help but want to push him off of a cliff.

RDR was just mindless, ridiculous fun. I don't even remember completing a single mission on that game. Slider and i were always way behind everyone because we would kill each other's horses and then have to walk.

Warhawk was great. We regularly had enough people to both complete objective and douche it up simultaneously. I can honestly say that not a single time do i remember getting into a jeep with slider where he did not proceed directly to a cliff and drive off of it.

For a long time we scheduled to play Warhawk for 5 hours every Tuesday and COD for 6+ hours every Thursday with large groups of people; it was pretty amazing. I can't even imagine having that much time now. If i get on now It's after my daughter goes to bed and I'm exhausted most of the time.

ivelostr2

This is funny...I was just looking through the COD thread from Cruz's signature and dreaming about you bastards must be a thing with me.

I guess i shouldn't play right before bed.

The Bus

So how many 32s do we have? Are there enough that we can sneak some 31s (me) into the HM Raid? I'd like to do CE Normal a few more times. It's honestly only fun if I am doing it with Daggers.

To get to 32, I just need ~15 Radiant Shards and the boots (or the helm and Exotic boots).

Gooter

Yeah, I'm in same boat. Around 9-10 short of each. Shouldn't be a problem to get to 32 if I can run CE Normal on my 3 chars.

musick

I know Scott, Sooner, and myself have a guardian that we have at 32 .... I'm sure chess and meatpants do as well .... possibly others but I'll let them chime in

some of us have additional guardians we can get to 32 as well but are seeking better stats/rolls on armor

chess

Warlock: 32
Titan: 32 in a few days. Decided on Ruin Wing build since I got the helmet, so I have to level both.
Hunter: 32-capable, and have the shards but might wait for better rolls. Also have to level Don't Touch Me.

Emperor Charon

I can get my Hunter to 32, but probably not until next week, because I will need more radiant shards.

The Bus

I've got Don't Touch Me fully leveled up but I don't have Raid hat or shoes.

Looks like HM drops primary weapons at the completion of the first phase.

K&AJones

I can get one of my three to Level 32 as I've held onto most of my Shards just trying to see where to put them. My Titan is the closet. It's a matter of what weapons to take in though. It's obvious VoG ones will be almost useless like a Vision of Confluence. Might be better to have a maxed Arc Fusion in the mix like the Light of the Abyss. Suggestions on the Primary and Secondary?

FWIW...I need to run the normal though on all three characters so if a group is getting together I'd like to throw my name in the mix.

mattysemo247

I have the gear for 32, just short on shards. That's always going to be the problem running one character

The Bus

Loadouts seem to trend towards 331 weapons as opposed to VoG ones, although a Fatebringer seems useful at times.

cruzness

I've got my Warlock up to 32
Titan is still at 31 needs Chest and/or Helmet to drop along with shards for that. So I need to run normal some more and hope to not get my sixth pair of Raid gauntlets or 3rd pair of boots. I might lose it if I get another pair.
Hunter - 29 needs all the raid gear.

BTW thanks to the Daggers last night. I was running bounties saw a group together and figured I'd see what was up. They were nice enought to invite me in right as they were completing the Lamps on Crotas End. Was awesome to start to figure out how to do the Bridge portion which we succeded with on the 3rd/4th try (once Scott confirmed his method). I was happy to be the anchor for the Thrall hall run. Brought in my Hunter and since I didn't have rockets on hand and did not want to waste too much time I volunteered to make the run up the hall . Happy to say that I made it on my 1st try and got the Thrall hall chest. Sorry I had to drop out after that but life happens but I hope my nearly flawless run made up for that. I'm full of myself - ain't I

Emperor Charon

Shit, man, you should never apologize for leaving a gaming session for the reason that you did.

And thanks for getting in the door, I was a few steps too far behind you, so we wouldn't have made it, if you hadn't.

musick

funniest part was watching Cruz fall through the bridge which truely wasn't fully formed

Emperor Charon

That was pretty damn funny.

Miss those days.

I remember one time the rest of our crew were actually trying to complete the mission, but you, Chew, and I were just standing outside a fort. You shot my horse with something and I dropped a molotov cocktail in front of you. When Chew saw your horse light up and buck you off, it was honestly the loudest I had ever heard him laugh. He could barely keep his breath. Good times.

The C-Team is sorry for spamming you all's Destiny thread with our reminiscing.

JohnSlider

I've still got just the one hunter past level 20, but I've started two others. Both hunters that way I can just switch my high level armor amongst them. I've been doing the nightfalls/weeklies/raids four-six times a week, so I figure I might as well have something to show for at least three of them.

musick

no need to appologize ... I've gotten more than 1 good laugh out of the posts
maybe one day the Daggers will be spamming another thread reminiscing about our days of becoming legend

I had a front row seat for that. Bridge has fully formed. Cruz runs down the path and goes straight down. LOL.

It does, but not always. I only got 1 weapon out of three completions of the first phase. Everyone that got a weapon seemed to get the pulse rifle after the abyss section.

You get a weapon after the bridge too. The auto rifle was the only one I saw anyone get. Again, I was only 1 for 3 on the weapon drops after we finished the bridge.

If you're only lvl 31, you will not do enough damage to the ogre at the end of the abyss. Even at 32, with 331 damage weapons, he is difficult to kill. I believe it took me about 10-12 critical hits with a maxed out Black Hammer to kill him.
