Destiny 2 Sherpafest (PS4 Leviathan: Oct 17th-23rd)

Hi All, What is it? So most of you are probably familiar with the concept of a Clan-wise "Sherpafest". It's essentially a time for experienced Raiders to help guide, explain and "Sherpa" newer or less experienced players through the Raid. How does it work?

Hi All,

What is it?
So most of you are probably familiar with the concept of a Clan-wise "Sherpafest". It's essentially a time for experienced Raiders to help guide, explain and "Sherpa" newer or less experienced players through the Raid.

How does it work?
Players can sign up by replying to this thread and outlining if they are willing to Sherpa (help others) or would like to be Sherpee'd (be taken through the Raid)

When is it?
Across a selection series of evenings that suit the 6 players who end up in your group

What do I need?
A working mic/headset
Be Power Level 265 (this is achievable with a few hours of finishing the campaign) at minimum, higher is better but not necessary
About 2-3 hours

How will teams be made?
Generally in the past, where possible, we've tried to match 4 experienced players with 2 players who have some/little/no raid experience

What now?
Reply below and outline what days/evenings you are free and if you are:
Willing to Sherpa (and how many characters/raids you'd be willing to do it on in that week)
Have some Raid experience, but have not completed the entire Raid/individual encounters
Have No Raid experience

PLEASE LIST YOUR PSN NAME

In - Sherpa (or as I suck at explaining things concisely, I'm willing to be one of the experienced players helping the new runners).

I wouldn't be much use at describing stuff, but I've done the raid a few times so I know what I'm doing pretty well if another head is needed. Free most evenings from around 6ish.

Back on Topic.

If there are heads needed for late starts (:rolleyes:) I can be used as an "experienced" head. Know the mechanics, but there's a reason I'm not a teacher.

I'd love to be a Sherpee (Power just north of 270). 8PM starts are fine for me, if it's not a school night the youngfella I'm sure would be willing to drag his old man through the encounters. Presumably not Prestige Mode (is that due out this week?) for the moment?

Fwiw, basically when we have all the names, At the end of this week/start of next week, I'll put together a comprehensive list of some rough teams/schedule. Then it'll be on your individual group of 6 to work out specifics etc

Would like to put my name down as a sherpee please. Haven't run the raid yet. Weeknights suit me mostly. Can anyone recommend good raid mechanic videos to watch? I had avoided them as the encounters seems to be an odd order and it put me off watching. Didn't want to watch out of sequence.

Stick me down as a semi-sherpa. I've completed the raid about ten times now and and know the mechanics. Explaining **** to others is where I'll struggle

Similar position myself. Have a few completions now so happy to semi-sherpa also. Will be good for two runs I'd say, preferably weekend runs, one Friday, one Saturday.
