Raid world first completion just unlocked a new crucible map, cool.
I'll be on around 9:30pm PDT if you're still looking, otherwise good luck with your run.

Maybe so time wise but these guys are pro's at Destiny. its not a "new" surprise like it was in the vault.
also its was pretty easy to gain light above the rec this time.
Really?? That's awesome
I'm willing to start a tad later if you're up for a 9:45 EST.

Two things-
I'm glad the raid still breaks after it's done and nothing works correctly

I'm also glad there is an explanation for robot Calus

I was right on the verge too with no drops for ages. Just stick a +5 or two on your armor and you can go get more of them right after.
I am in!
Cool!
So, PS4 raid at 9:45 PM EST.
1) ryseing (PSN bmc811, 275 Titan)
2) RoboPlato (281 Warlock)
3) UpDownLeftRight (Gein789, 281 Warlock)
And it's almost as long as King's Fall and Crota's End. Vault of Glass is the only huge outlier because it was the first one.

No. Wrath of the Machine and Crota's End were much lower. This was more or less on par with King's Fall.
Edit: When it comes to Crota's End, I might be confusing it with the first hard mode completion.
I'm 281 Warlock as well
Gotcha. Edited.

I'm glad they added tokens like in WoW.

Been watching Datto but might have to hit the hay before they nail it (though they're close).
Someone mind filling me in what happens at the end and afterwards? Rewards, lore, scenes, tokens etc.

True. Looks like it's mechanic heavy, which might become a problem for a lot of people. Wonder how it'll affect reviews.

Hardest raid yet? Whelp.

Good.
Depends on how much loot is available to purchase with the tokens, if that's how it works.

New raid doesn't seem that bad, at least mechanics wise compared to King's Fall, which is good because that thing was esoteric beyond need to the point I only did it once. I only saw the last boss for Leviathan though.
Off topic but to go back to the "Hunters got fucked in D2" well, holy shit are all the legendary sets for hunters ugly as sin. The only decent ones are the EDZ, Titan, and Eververse ones. In general those sets seem to be the only ones with any personality across the other classes too but at least even their ugly ones still fare better than the best hunter armor. Nothing hunter wise here can lick the boot of the ToO hunter set.

I watched the whole thing at Goth's channel and it doesn't really seem that way. Just a lot of mechanics to keep in mind, especially for the first run.

By second mission do you mean the one when you are de-powered? Love this quote from the Eurogamer review/impressions,
"Bungie is as clumsy as ever when trying to elicit emotion; at one point, just after your powers have been stripped, a melancholy score swirls as you punch a pack of dogs and you're handed a sub-machine gun called Sorrow."

Its random, whilst in WoW you can specifically trade for a certain piece.

Me, roboplato and ryseing will be running it at 9:45 and still have 3 slots if you're interested.
His group got world's first kings fall, as goofy as they seem they are legit.

9:45 pm est?
That might get into territory that I might not be able to finish with you guys because it gets so late.
Don't want to leave and screw you guys.
Thanks though.

I would say that it's a natural progression of raids.
As we get more and more raids, they're going to be filled with more mechanics, even if those mechanics were used previously in different raids.
Happened with WoW, will happen with this. Not saying it's a bad thing, but it's just a natural progression.
