Mind blown how intricate and complicated destiny 2 raids are

[freeburn]

I been playing destiny 2 again, gettin my grind on.

A couple homies I used to work with saw me playing thru discord and asked if I wanted to raid. Sure, never done one, sounds fun, i doubt I'll ever have 5 other friends online on destiny to try one, so let's go

Fast forward about 4 hours

We complete the vault of glass raid


Holy fuk these things are crazy intricately designed. The destiny 2 raid was probably one of the most complicated things I've ever done in a video game.

We spent about an hour on each section dying and repeating until we got it. I'm not sure it's even possible to complete without looking up a guide.


Anyways that is all. I'm impressed with the design of these raids in destiny.

Well, it is by a Sony studio afterall.

But in all seriouness, I only played 1. Kinda gotten repetitive. Is 2 worth it? It is cheap now.

I think it's worth it if you know what you want from a game.

I wanted a loot and shoot game I could play coop with my gf where our skill level differential wouldn't matter.

If I play alone I just put a TV show or movie on and I don't even turn the sound on for destiny.

But there's alooot of stuff to do in the game now too

Another W for Sony. Just pushing out quality content that can give even an elite competitive gamer a completely thrilling experience.

Just realized I've been playing Destiny 2 for almost a year and still haven't done a D2 raid, only Vault of Glass and the dungeon (a mini 3 person raid) Grasp of Avarice.

Vault of Glass was the 1st raid from Destiny 1, mildly updated for Destiny 2. It'll go pretty quick with experience. Worth it to try to get Vex Mythoclast or Fatebringer.
King's Fall is another Destiny 1 raid, more complicated and the loot I only ever found useful in the raid itself, I don't have a desire to go back and do this one.

Yeah, I got a fate bringer but with garbage rolls on it unfortunately.

Is destiny 2 a Sony thing? I played on battle net at launch. I thought Sony didn't buy bungie until years after destiny 2 released?

They worked very closely with Bungie for years to improve Destiny 2 before buying them out. I imagine alot was invested which is why they were eventually bought out.

Ohhh yeah now that you mention it I think remember reading some stuff about that back in the day

Bungie is hardcore puzzlemaxxing
Raids are fun until you realize you've been doing it for 3 hours and still have a few more hours to go.

It's still held back by consoles.

Live service games found out that they have to chop content when consolecels cannot keep up with the storage requirements after a couple years of updates.

Destiny 1 raids where fantastic too. The grind to get to those raids kind of sucked though. Especially in 2.

[MiamiLife305]

Ive played since Destiny 1 on and off

Still have never done a raid. I dont have SIX FRIENDS on the internet let alone IRL

Anyways, I literally got back into Destiny 2 last week.

Bought the witch queen and its been fun

We need a MISC Clan again like we did at launch of Destiny 2

I want to do some raids

[OneLegSquats]

Glad you're blown away by Sony's talent. Now imagine playing some of their exclusives.

[Paul Kreul]

Destiny 2 is probably the best game ever made. srs. Yrs later and they are STILL releasing content. Game is amazing

[akferd]

Destiny was a lot of fun. I wont play Destiny 2 because its too late. But Destiny 3 will be Day1

[Kev1972]

I had a lot of fun with raiding in OG everquest. You needed 50 or 60 people all paying attention and doing their jobs. You had to have pullers who could split mobs efficiently, mostly bards and monks. A rotation of tanks that could keep aggro. A chain of healers timing their heals perfectly. Then you split up melee and ranged dps, also physical and magic. Some fights took hours. Lots of AoE dodging, switching targets for complicated bosses. Resurrecting and rebuffing players constantly. One rogue or mage pulling aggro off the tank could easily cause a complete raid wipe.

Fun times.

ITT smooth brained gamer games.

I played that game a ton during initial release and the following two xpacs. Not sure why I stopped. Really good game.

[goingcia]

Had a great time running raids in Destiny 1 but you had to have a good team to have fun. Vault of Glass was one of the better ones. But those were a massive time sink for sure. No way I could play the game properly today.

When D2 just came out though, I would have jumped on it if they didn't erase everything from the first game. That was complete and utter bullchit and there was so much content slowly built up for D1 by the time D2 came out that the sequel felt barren in comparison and I didn't have the patience to wait for all the updates for it to catch up to D1. They should allowed chit to carry over or better yet made it an expansion.
