I was strolling through the Forge one day...

Not in the month of May. So I decided that I was going to farm the Forge for the Salad fusion rifle. I'd already gotten a few But Not Forgotten snipers beforehand, but I wanted that fusion! As I crouched into the Forge, not finding any Guardian, I popped a green and proceeded my farm. After a couple greens, 2 340s walked in and waved at me. I laughed and was vaguely surprised that there were still 340s in RoI. Anyway, they danced and pointed at the machine to activate an offering. I waved, and we proceeded to vanquish Captains, Servitors, and Vandals, running green and blue offerings. Until, after one, one of them received a Perfected, and I groaned. Judging by how eager they were, I knew they wanted to do it. They waved and shadestepped and surrounded me. I decided, "Oh fine. Let's do it." In the past experiences, we all had the horrible realization of how difficult the Perfected offerings were. Even at 385, they were still a little difficult. With that in mind, I wondered how this was going to work with 2 340 light Guardians. Regardless, they popped the Perfected, and we dove into the Forge, guns blazing. Surprisingly, we had little trouble. I had to protect our host so as he didn't respawn and trigger the end. When the boss started to spawn, we crouched inside the dome in the outer rings so we didn't die. I Nova'd the extra adds inside so we could focus on the one boss. They tethered, and we killed it quickly. Soon after, more people joined, and we had a full house of Perfected offerings going off with only a couple 390+ Guardians including me. We all had loads of fun, and after the two 340s left, I received a message from one saying "Thank you so much for the experience!" I know it was a very little thing like Forge, but it's messages like that that make me feel all warm inside and glad to be a gamer. I didn't get my Vigil, but I got them some good gear including a But Not Forgotten. What experiences have you had, Guardians, with those lower than you or new to the game? Do you ignore them, or do you rise to the call and aid them in their own tasks? Tl;dr: 2 340s surprised me with how well they did in Perfecteds, despite being severely underlight. I helped them and felt good. Edit: Surprised not to have seen any negativity yet. Glad to see some like-minded players! Edit 2: Doing Forge with 9 people! Amazing, bungie!

    • That's awesome but just a word of advice, don't protect the one who put in the offering. It doesn't matter who dies, as long as there is at least one person left alive it will keep going.

      • I was running some skirmish matches trying to complete the crucible portion of the sword quest. My teammates left and left me 1v3 early in the match so I pulled out the empty sword hilt and started running around. The other team noticed what I was doing and waved at me and grouped up. I cautiosly walked over waiting for the shotgun blast to my face but it never came. All 3 kept running back over and over allowing me to complete my kills. I am not one to care about my k/d too much but I know some people are. So I messaged them a thank you and told them to get their kills back before the match ended. Basically we all sat around and killed each other for 5 minutes trying to find creative ways to do it.

          • You are quite lucky to have accrued so many guardians! I use the slow crouch-walk in repeatedly and 9/10 times, no luck. That said, there have been maybe 2 times when we had 5 people in there and damn, that is perhaps some of the most fun i've had in destiny inn a very long time. Yesterday i had a perfected offering. Waited and waited and along comes a 340-ish Light fella. I wait some more. 5 to 10 minutes and nothing. I leave and come back in 5. Same guardian in there. 5 more minutes and another guy shows up, but, he's in the 340 range as well. I finally had to go to orbit as i didn't want to waste the offering but after reading your post i may give it a crack next time! Thanks and have a good one bud!!

            • I've had a few similar experiences in AF AND on both sides of the coin I might add. I've been the 340 and the 390 so can relate perfectly to your tale of joy. I know people have knocked AF but honestly I love spending 30 minutes in there with a decent group and just blowing things up as a stress reliever. :) Btw, light level isn't everything. I'm really confused why some folks put so much emphasis on LL as if it's indicative of someone's skill level in the game. Some of the best players I've met have been severely "under lighted" and conversely some of the worst have had high light and die often. I couldn't agree more though, sportsmanship and paying it forward are massively rewarding when you recieve an IM line the one you refer to. Well done!!!!!

              • Im a yr 1 day 1 player. I ran the raid 19 times with an almost finshed raid team of noobs. Each week never finishing. Getting tbe new players as far as they can get. This week was the first time i finished the raid. I did normal and hard mode complete, outbream prime and thorn this week, and to tell u the truth im not bothered by that. Most of the noob raid teams i was on were funny as hell.

                      • I've run into some douche bag players in the years I've been playing Destiny but I enjoy moments like these a lot, I've had many and hope to have many more.

                      • Light level isn't everything but it helps. Knowing your class and discovering your limits is what makes a great Destiny player, and Bungie gives us a sandbox to improve within. I feel sad for the 400s who have [i]way[/i]more limitations on them than the player rapidly growing.

                        • The forge is awesome! It's what the Court should have been. I can spend hours just playing it and loading up on ghosts, artifacts and class items. I've received 8 fusions and tons of snipes. The forge is the best part of RoI

                          • The 340s just stayed alive, you did the damage. Noticed they become much easier as your light increases. I've solod a perfected dreg an vandal so far.

                          • I remember the fallen saber strike when it first came out. I had to give this guy full instructions through messages about going through the vent and stuff. He messaged me back and we played a load more strikes together. It was fun.

                            • I love it when you're in a strike or something and someone waits for you to catch up to them. Always nice to see.
