The first nightfall of the Taken King. 2 of my friends gathered at 270 light, this was maybe Thursday before the raid, and entered that hell. Under leveled and in prepared for the challenges that waited for us in the dark blade strike, we walked in. 2 hours. That's how long we were there for. 2 hours of grinding and hiding from shriekers and nights that took ten sniper hits to kill. A very special kind of hell. Then we get to Alakul and oh boy was that fun. Cursed thralls everywhere, Alakul one hitting us and teleporting right behind us. With my newly obtained fourth horseman (shoutout to that beautiful legendary Engram I got on the first day) and a lot of cursing and nightstalkers, we beat him. We were all so happy. Then the rewards screen came up. Mokevillev2 got a Telesto. Amazing a new exotic! Prone T0 Drift got a 290 Truth. Great we needed some more rockets and an exotic in the early stages of the game is nothing to complain about! And I got... A 280 legendary chest plate. It was worst then the one I had. After all that and my friends getting amazing rewards I got a freakin chest plate I couldn't even use for infusion
