My friends/family raid team feels like it's struggling.

We've had 2 attempts since it opened - finding a night when 6 can allign (and Bungie haven't turned the game off) has been hard, and the drive to get into the raid doesn't feel there. (We've seen 2 encounters other than the 1st bit ...The B**** and The G********)

It's just...empty and meaningless? No sense of place, or narrative interest in playing what feels effectively like Banzai

Because it’s the exact same damn game. I’m quickly boring of this and so are my Destiny buds. The end game feels less than it did in D1 and that is maddening.

There seems zero reason to get a higher level, like Hexx said, what’s the narrative for doing so? Why are we doing this?

Totally agree, I was bored after about a week, I actually think this is worse than D1, I enjoyed the crucible a lot more in that and the strikes were far more interesting. Urgh, this is actually pretty gooseberry fool

Just wait until tomorrow where it will reset everything so you can get "powerful engram" by doing the activities. Also, if the new gear is higher than what you have and check if it's got a legendary mod attached. If yes, infuse to your current gear or replace, but if not put a legendary mod on the new gear and infuse to boost up your Power/Light.

It seems simple enough to do it. :oops:

This guide explains very simple how to do in each room and the bath room is so very simple!

Yeah it's weird how Leviathan doesn't have any bearing on the story at all compared to the other raids.

Vault of Glass - stop the Vex's time fuckery and destroy Atheon
Crota's End - climax of the Dark Below's story and links to the Taken King
Skolas' Revenge - not a raid obviously, but was positioned as equal to that by Bungie and the climax of the House of Wolves story
King's Fall - climax of the Taken King's story
Wrath of the Machine - climax of Rise of Iron's story
Leviathan - just a bit of bants from Calus since you actually fight a fake robot version of him? Huge, planet-eating ship thing rocks up next to Nessus and no one gives a gooseberry fool?

Calus turning up was mentioned in Destiny 1, as well as a few of the adventures in D2. There are lore explanations for his "make up": he found the endless void, the darkness and accepted its gifts. There is a strong worm theme throughout the raid and in the lore surrounding Calus... Like the Hive. The other realm he teleports you to could be his throne realm; he's not defeated properly until you kill him here.

That said, the raid doesn't feel very "cabal". I always had them down as the bulky space engineers that did things very mechanically... Not space magic and convoluted.

The raid is difficult when you're doing it the first few times - just like they were with the other raids. The difference here is that it's not fun, not rewarding, thematically makes no sense, is unforgiving and there isn't a simple checkpoint system.

I think we should all watch the guide and keep giving the raid a go until we complete it at least once. Once we get the patterns down for each room it shouldn't be that hard to complete.

wtf?

What happens when you quit and try again later?

There is a checkpoint system but it's different from previous raids:

Regarding the difficulty of the raid:

Decided to sell this on ebay, it looks nice and that but I just couldn't really get into it, dunno if it was a time thing or what but yeah just not feeling it.

Stepping back for a second - my raid team went in completely blind.

While it may be "simple" when you know what you're doing, the 2 we've tried (G and B) are annoying nonsense.

It was fun to work out mechanics/puzzle - but also completely nonsense (spoilers for B in case people care) in the world and the lack of any "narrative" or logical reason to be there (to guide your thinking) makes it much harder to solve.

Took us a long time of runs changing things again and again to work out - the lack of structure or any decent feedback made it much much harder...

Forgot it was maintenance from 4 to 8 today. For some reason I assumed short maintenance would finisher earlier, but nope they just started later...

I got it from a random engram even before the event. I really like it, it has 13 in the chamber if you choose a different upgrade, lets you shoot for ever and has really good consistent DPS.

Btw I got tractor cannon the other day, SO FUN :-D

And it's actually quite useful for crowd control. Like it can pop multiple shields at once because it's aoe is so massive.
