We even left no man behind in the abyss as we always do. Didn't slow us down at all though.

Same for team DBO. And we got everyone across the bridge, and never saw the oversoul. I was sort of expecting more drama and chaos but instead it was a rather boring raid event wise :)
The race was what made it awesome. As soon as we were done it was like being in the Olympics* and waiting for the judges to give us our score :)

*I've never been in the olympics. The feeling may or may not be at all like finishing a destiny raid on normal.

You know, it didn't dawn on me until I watched your video, but if we were going for pure speed, I probably shouldn't have made it into the 2nd chest room :p

This is true. I like that we still got the chest, though. :)

Thanks for posting that, Disciple; pretty smooth run! The last minute or so was cut off; did you manage to down Crota in a single sword or two?

I forgot to change the cutoff time when creating the highlight on Twitch. The full video is uploading now. We got 'er done in two swords.

Here's our crazy fast (no-cheese!) run. Had a little hitch at the beginning when "Xbox, Leave" didn't trigger, leaving me to juggle with the party system. :)

Hah - I had the exact same problem on my end and ended up dying too. No man left behind on Tuesday raids, though!
Next time I think a message will work better instead of trying to juggle chats.

Cool. Normal mode Crota, right? Was there cheese or death to save time in any of these? For instance, wiping instead of clearing out all the Knights after the death singer?

Yep, Normal Crota. No cheese on team Rampancy, but we considered it :) We started the race (and the clock) from the initial start of the abyss (after dropping down and collecting the first chest)

My apologies for the chaotic start (and if I got any of the team members above incorrect), and a big thank you to Beorn and Unoudid to helping organize the teams.
