    My favorite part of this raid is when you come across a random cabal minding his own business, trying to figure out the Witness's big planet room and Nezarec goes "yo I hate this loser. He sucks so much. Would you just kill him? Ya know, since you're already there, you might as well."

    How are you only at 60k? This is honestly my favourite destiny channel. Also I can relate to having a four hour rest in the middle of Nezarec, that guy drove all my lfg teams insane.

    I love how half the video was Nezarec. Very much like how Nezarec was about 75% of my total time on the Day 1 clear. I found out after that glaives for grabbing Hatred was broken due to the glaive dmg resistance. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.

      Also I liked this Raid's difficulty! We actually had people in my clan ask to try out different roles and learn more than others.
      Usually, they learn one role and go with that but as it was so approachable they felt more confident.
      P.S: I will always hate Spire of Stars with the daisy chain and final stand ball bullshit 🤣

    Great video. Glad to see you guys ended up getting it done. I left the stream around midnight so I didn't get to see the end.
    For Macrocosm and Nezarec my team's major problem was the number of adds. So we put an Orpheus Rig Hunter and an Osmiomancy Gloves Warlock on add control and it made the fights much easier.

    I will always like root of nightmares, because just before light fall I and others left the clan that I was with. I had to rebuild my day one team and start a new clan. Thankfully, some of the people were on the team already came back, but I still had to fill with lfg we where in for 11h and got the clear it was my first compiled contest raid after trying since leviathan dayone. I’m extremely proud of my team and it’s something I’ll never forget. Keep up the great videos! Rest in peace Lance

Unfortunately we had to split from our initial team after the first day due to a couple of them being ill-prepared, but hopefully I can get a clear together with them next year (certainly not during Wrath of the Machine because I don't think I want to do a Day 1 raid twice in one sitting).

    I kinda want to see you guys do a raid where the only things you can say are something related to your names. what i mean by this is that Lochi can only try to make axolotl noises, Duck can only quack, you have to use toad voice (from mario) or make toad animal noises. stuff like that, I feel like it would just be chaos incarnate as you would have a variety of communication, from some people being able to speak entire sentences to others only being able to make certain sounds.
    another idea is a raid where you can only say Jotuun, like vault of telesto and breads fall.

    My team had to do Nezerac twice. On the last stand one of us got booted and the rest of us completed it with the burn of 2 fusion grenades, and a witherhoard.
    We weren’t going to let that slide so we picked him up in orbit, went back in, and made Nezzy pay.
    The guy that got booted also got the exotic, but none of us were mad cause the dude deserved it after being cheated.
