Joined an LFG team for the Oryx CP.
Nothing out of the ordinary upon joining the chat. Mature voices, everyone sounding pretty chilled. Always a good sign. Upon arriving in the arena, the host tells me we're just waiting for our relic runner, who went AFK right before I joined. He's a 311 Titan, but the host assured me he was a decent runner. We were running the 8 and 8 strat, and I was to take plate one.
That's when I hear it. Distant, but still clearly audible.
"[i]Mom! I'll do it after![/i]"
The shrill, obnoxious voice grows in volume as the foul beast gets closer to its mic.
"[i]No! I said I'll do it after![/i]".
A loud scratching sound emanates through the chat as the squeaker's sticky fingers fumble with the headset.
"[i]K guys, I'm back! My Mom said I gotta go soon! So we have to kill Owyx fast! K?[/i]".
My hearts sinks, but I decide to stick it out. After clearing the initial adds, I notice our prepubescent 311 Titan browsing his inventory. Oryx slams the front left plate.
"[i]K guys! I'm changing to the Twilight Gawwison! Just so I can get to the welic faster![/i]".
I hear another fireteam member snicker.
The squeaker and I leap to the first plate. "One's up". It jumps to the first interdimensional platform, activates the exotic chestpiece's evade, gets propelled clear over the boundary wall and falls screaming into the abyss..
*Guardian Down*
"[i]OMG! What the hell! Someone got off their pwate![/i]"
[b]RoseScythe has left the Fireteam[/b]
Is edit: Just felt like sharing a tale with you fellow guardians. A tale of hard choices. Of paths taken. I hope you all enjoyed it. Cheers :)
Knight is run.

Out at "Owyx" and then "Welic"!

Make this a book

I dont mind playing with SOME squeekers. The problem I find with most of them, is they dont shut up. It is a constant voice clogging the communication. If they are like most people and just talk when they need to, its not a big deal. But they need to shut up or I will boot them, my ear drums cant take it.
-
Best age group to raid with is 15-30 year olds.
-
I raided with an 'adult' that was drunk, high and had ADD last night. He was loud and obnoxious. Which do you prefer?
-

Edited by CallMeCrimson: 1/20/2016 5:25:57 PM[u]Patch 3.0.0.3[/u] We have noticed that squeakers are causing serious difficulties during raid runs so we've decided to increase the base health of Oryx by 300%, Have fun out there guardian! [i][u]Become Legend[/u][/i]

I have a squeaker on my friends list that i invited to the raid and he started telling everybody what plate they have, who's running relic, the subclass set up etc. The Kids like 9 and better than most adults tbh.
-
True story: my friend and I were playing with a guy and randomly says, "guys I gotta take my weed" then suddenly starts coughing for like 10 minutes it was hilarious
-
just bite the heads of them or if you wish bake slow mmmm :). ps i dont bake veg 'lol' its to easy
-
Hahaha nice
-
I played with some younger people during both of my completed raids, it wasn't a problem for me. Being a noob to raids, I'm not really able to get angry at people for not knowing what to do, nor would I anyways.
-
They blame others for messing up when they did it. One time we failed to stagger oryx, and the little kid, all the way at the other end of the map, said "I was the only one shooting at oryx!" That little rascal. lol

Knoght is run

Some youths can be bothersome, yes. But in my cases as long as they have good attitudes and good playing skills, that's all I care about. They can be 10 or 100 years old, age does not affect my ability to at least attempt to play with someone.
-
Awesome... Had a similar squeaker experience last year. ' mom can I have my dinner in my room?' OK guys I'm back, I'll take out the adds with the sword while you all kill Crota!
-
Should've stayed on the plate buddy...
-
Yall kill me with that 'squeaker' term lol.We were all young once, but for whatever reason a lot tend to forget that. Anyway, that sucks your raid experience with that person wasnt fun, but i dont think age has anything to do with it. I've had enjoyable raid times with plenty of youngsters, just like i've had not so enjoyable raid times with older gamers. What i'm saying is that the age doesnt matter, it's the person.

Edited by duggi37197: 1/20/2016 9:14:22 PMI was doing VOG at atheon and we had this squeaker who said he was "18" but his mic actually made his voice high pitched. So he asked if he can run relic and someone in the party says "you have to be older than 7 years old to run relic" everyone in the party just started dying of laughter and for the entire rest of the raid, he was crying to the guy who said the thing to him. And when I say crying I mean literally whining and begging and crying. It was horrible
-
That's nothing man I found one off of lfg also but for a trials member, I swear he said pew pew when he shot his sniper

I have my own story. A friend messaged me who needed help with carrying this 7 year old kid through Normal Oryx. I tell him I'll do it if he can help me level up my 290 Hunter. For an hour, we struggle to complete Thalnok as 290's. The squeaker who shall remain unnamed due to Bungie's pro-cheating and anti-vigilante policies, was unable to listen to commands or suggestions. He kept running up to Thalnok and getting killed, much to our dismay. Finally we beat him and I held up my end of the deal. 20 minutes later, we have a fireteam assembled of 310+ Guardians willing to help this incompetent little kid. We get Oryx to 5% health on the first run, someone dies. We wipe and repeat. We try again, once again, we get Oryx low but some idiot wipes. 3rd run. We're on the 3rd rotation and the kid wipes the whole fireteam by "falling off his platform." As frustrated as we are, we give it a few more tries; all of them fail. We disband and I troll the kid for a little bit, following him around, teabagging him and annoying the sh*t out of him until I get bored and he leaves. The End.

Some kid wouldn't shut up about I'm the best u a scrub we gonna do oryx like challenge mode even though it's golgoroth. Told him he was a fag then he told his dad and his dad got on the mic and told me about how mean I was. Then I threw a few insults at both of em and then left
-
I love this. Kinda like karma from your last post of booting a guy as soon as you beat oryx yeah?
