So... do we have an impression yet on this Raid or is this thread just made for complaining?
Seriously, can someone tell me how the Raid is?

Enrage timers are gear checks. The only reason the enrage timer is even a game mechanic is to enforce that the players kill it quickly, and that means it requires better gear.
I'm watching it right now.
There's no strategy at play here beyond "Stay out of the fire" tier MMO hazards. It looks criminally boring. Also: It has an enrage timer. Whether you like it or not, that makes it a gear check.
Here's the problem. Absolutely nothing else in this game is remotely as interesting as that. They've designed it so only the most dedicated groups of people can play the best content in this game, and everybody else gets a shitty story, shitty drops, and shitty bosses.
Been watching StreamerHouse and this looks like a miserable experience.
Naw, I've raided for US firsts/world first enough to know that you should never underestimate people and forming strategies. It's a gear check thing right now. Bungie designed an encounter impossible numerically.
Sort of like pre-nerf Heroic Spine. Blizzard purposely made Heroic Spine impossible to extend heroic raiding/race for world first by a week.
Wrong thread?
OT is over there good sir :3
did you forget you said this, on this same page?
Oh i see, you edited your post. cute.
^ What this thread has turned into...
...those two posts don't contradict each other. I'm saying the same thing both times.
What are you even going on about at this point?
But the strikes are simplistic and repetitive. Toning down the difficulty doesn't necessitate stripping away all of the interesting mechanics.

They also been playing for at least 4 hours straight, but they have been swapping players in and out. It sucks because like all MMO raids if you know up to a certain point, and the new people entering don't, you are wasting your time having the new players play catchup learning the mechanics/patterns/optimizations.
This is exactly how I was expecting endgame raiding to be (miserable) when they had the first play testers just flat out give up. This is not casual friendly, at least from what I'm seeing. They have to be missing something?
How many people are above level 26? If it's low, then yeah there will be less impressions and more twitch stream watching.So... do we have an impression yet on this Raid or is this thread just made for complaining?

It's designed for so the most dedicated groups of people can play the best content in the game...day 1. Eventually everyone will level up their gear. Eventually strategies will be posted on how to get through the encounter. Eventually people's level will outrank the difficulty. Eventually most people who want to see the raid will.

It explains it if you level up to 20. Once you get 20 it let's you know. Holy shit the whining.But how many people will get bored and move on, before that eventuality?
I am almost level 20 but I have no idea how long it takes to get to 26 (does the game even explain these light levels?) and have exactly one friend that is also that high level.
No matchmaking for Raids and no explanation how to get to 26 basically means I am going to be done with this game very soon.
And yeah, the Strikes are hardly impressive. So I don't have much hope for the raid anyway
So in the Datto stream, people said there are 8 bosses in the raid. And they're only on the 2nd boss? And having trouble figuring out how to beat him? Yeah congrats to whoever becomes "legend". lol
This is only the second boss?! On the streamhouse twitch?
The fact that no one has finished it yet is mind blowing.
4th i believe
Can you save your progress in the raid? Like in MMOS, you can do a few bosses and comeback the next day?
That's why the game saves your progress so you can continue at a later dateThe fact that no one has finished it yet is mind blowing.

Yes you can but the save only lasts for a week.Can you save your progress in the raid? Like in MMOS, you can do a few bosses and comeback the next day?
These guys look pretty close to beating the 4th boss:

Well, at least they're super coordinated and haven't died recently.
People might finish this raid today? Man... must be easy mechanics compared to the typical MMO raid.

Well, we don't know if this is the last boss or not. And it looks like they might blow it.
Edit: Yep, they died.
4th boss is the last? I thought it would be 8 bosses.

If you die in the raid, you can't respawn yourself after 30 sec? you must still wait for a team-mate to revive you? Or is it encounter specific?
