I am not a pro-PVPer by any means. I have not played Halo or anything PVP since COD had split screens. Never been to a LAN party. BUT: [b][i]I want to get better at killing guardians! I want to get my Trials Gear! I want to visit the Lighthouse![/i][/b]
If you are like me [i](and the many others that seem to feel this way)[/i], please start posting for Trials [u]practice[/u] runs. I think, rather than asking the top PVPers for help, we should group up and just [u]practice[/u] and learn. Besides, if your "sherpa" doesn't make it and the summary screen betrays your dismal performance, it can be discouraging. REMEMBER: This is a game. We should have fun! Personally I'd like to run with all those who haven't been to the Lighthouse but would like to some day.
[b]My suggestion:[/b] Run in teams whose main goal is to just get 2-3 wins. Then in a couple weeks try for 4-5, and so forth. All those we admire (or despise) for being gods in the crucible, didn't get there overnight. Let's earn our right of passage! WHO IS WITH ME?!?
[b]Pro-tip:[/b] To more easily identify those who would like to practice, consider changing your status on your B.net profile to:
[i][b]"Looking for ToO practice group"[/b][/i] or similar
PLEASE bump this post if you agree. AND comment with LFG or the results of your team's evening of practicing. Maybe some new tricks you found? Advice for particular maps? Preferred weapons and perks, etc

Hey sushi! Spread the word! I'll be on most of the weekend for trials, tell the guys dont be afraid to hit me up. Im good at the game but I'm not a D. My friends and i are more than happy to run with cool guys win or lose.
-
great idea sushi! i'm not really great at PvP (my kd is only 1.0-1.1), but feel free to hit me up for trials guys
-
ME! ME! ME! Love to give it a go this weekend
-
I'm down. I feel like Iron Banner has really helped my skills. I'm willing to give it a shot!
-
Sign me up! Like most, I am not very strong at PvP but would like to be better at it. Like some had mentioned early, skirmish and salvage are good places to practice. Time to break out of my "control" -led comfort.
-
I like this idea. I want the gear but have been too chicken to try trials and when I am interested all groups want are pro pvp players. Sign me up.

Thanks Sushi, absolutely down for this. Being primarily a PvP guy, expecting to do mildly well but finding mostly defeat, it's been frustrating. But if you go in with a chill mindset, like you said just shooting for a couple wins, but not even expecting that, it can be a seriously good time (yes, even a 4 loss out run) if you're with a likeminded group of guys. Let's do this. Anyone who hasn't feel free to add me, b.net=PSN name.

I want it, yall add me

Thanks for this post Sushi! I have been wanting to get a TOO group together. Played with BlasterPong and MangotheDuck a couple times but we aren't normally on the same hours. I am in to practicing with anyone from the clan.

Hey DoD westcoast, I've been to the LH a few times and my friend and I don't mind taking a random third at least once a week. If y'all r interested let me know. Also skirmish and salvage are the best modes to practice.
-
I'm in. I haven't attempted Trials yet, but I want to this weekend.
-
This is a good idea. I've never won a single round of ToO so I'd like to get 1 win. Then go from there.
