Prestige mode is live! I’ll be running it with a team as soon as it goes live on Xbox one. I have roughly 8 completions on normal mode and know how to run every role on every boss in the raid, so I’ll keep my eyes open for anything that’s different!
Here I will list all the differences from normal mode to prestige mode for those who are at work/school or otherwise can’t find out themselves right away.
Drop an upvote or comment to save this in your list so you can keep an eye on the changes!
And if you’re on Xbox one and you’re looking for a good raid team, feel free to add me!

PRESTIGE MODE
———————————
Entire Raid Changes
[spoiler]Loadouts - NOT locked! :)
Revives - Just like trials. You have a revive token. Once you revive one person, you can’t revive again for that challenge or until you wipe. ALSO, if you DIE you LOSE your revive token and can’t revive anyone. So dying really takes away two revives from the team, because not only do you need to be revived, but you can no longer revive anyone else.
Enemies- all enemies are MUCH tougher. Even with a full team of 300+ it’s proven a challenge. Bring high DPS high ammo guns.
Raid Access- you can not access hard mode unless you have beaten normal mode. [/spoiler]
Listed in this weeks order
Courtyard (Opening Doors)
[spoiler]All enemies are BULLET SPONGES. Bring a very good heavy and a roaming super.[/spoiler]
Gauntlet
[spoiler]PLATFORMS - Two psions spawn after you shoot arrows. The normal one at the bottom of the arrows, and a floating one that spawns in a random location that needs shot down.
Need a different runner each time. Every person must run once!
During the last phase of running there are 3 orbs per connect-4 Wall, instead of 4.[/spoiler]
Dogs (Pleasure Gardens)
[spoiler]8 dogs now! 2 new dogs, one at rock and one at L2.[/spoiler]
Baths/Pools
[spoiler]During your DPS phase there are more bathers that spawn.
Once your first DPS phase is done you can NOT go back to your original plates. Instead the game randomly assigns 4 people a plate. When DPS is done you will see a symbol on your screen (sun, chalice, dog, axe). You must go to this plate.[/spoiler]
Calus (Final Boss)
[spoiler]No more Throne room or Void teams anymore. As soon as a throne room person kills a psion they are teleported into the void and a random person is teleported out of the void. This happens for each phase of symbols, so 3 times each run on the void.[/spoiler]
Legend of Acrius
[spoiler]Completing the final step of the quest doesn’t award an upgraded gun. The reward for the final step is simply an ornament for the shotgun that you already have.[/spoiler]
I think that’s everything! My thoughts; hard mode is not for your casual gamer. You need all 6 people to be seasoned gamers and seasoned raiders. Everyone needs to know just about every role during every fight since the random rotations force everyone to play every role. But knowing isn’t enough, you need to have good communication and the skills to execute. Just like normal mode, if one person messes up just one thing it sends the team in a downward spiral. This might not be. Raid for LFG, but more so for playing with people you know and play well with so you’re all of equal skill level.
My randoms today couldn’t beat it, but me and my friends will at some point. I gotta have that emblem! Good luck to everyone.

46 RepliesSo the only thing they didn't change is the terrible, boring, identical to everything else crap loot! That doesn't even drop lol Seriously, how can bungie not see that they've removed all the loot from their looter shooter? Tokens for everyone! 😂 Haha! Idiots!

2 RepliesReally close to being done with this game... 😑

I appreciate the effort you went through to give us the information.👍 That being said, I see really zero point in running this. There is no incentive to do so. Color pallets swaps are not incentive, and for me anyway, an emblem is not worth the time or effort. So I may attempt it once, but that will be it. I'd much rather Sherpa groups through normal than run that.

*yawn* Kay and? Oh, that's it? Okay...
-
I really like the changes, it's more difficult.

Is there a leaderboard anywhere ?

1 ReplyMy take on this is, not enough ppl are gonna do the raid, and whatever would drop for those select few would cause outrage from the lazies. Raid gear op plz nerf, bungie I have a life can't get raid gear and I have no friends plz give me stuff up front so I can cry about nothing to grind later. If I was a betting man I would say that there's no real reason to go all out on raids when no one's (other than 5 percent of the communitys) gonna do them anyway.

5 Replieshahaha bungie you guys are garbage how in the world did you think the prestige rewards were acceptable

15 RepliesEdited by bilbo t baginzz: 10/19/2017 12:04:26 AMLazy. "lets make the dogs harder... by adding more dogs..." "lets make the baths harder by adding more bathers" "OooOoOOOoo lets also add another psion in on the gauntlets, that will get them" The boss is the only decent mechanic. And what do we get from doing all this??? Cosmetic shit and a shotgun ornament. No thanks.

3 RepliesSave you all some time, do the very first part to get shaders on all your characters, put them on your normal raid gear.. poof! Prestige mode done.

This makes me think of a cult that keeps adding rules so members have to keep proving that they belong.

Not very relevant, but I want a raid that is just chaotic war with a giant, strong boss (or multiple bosses) on the battle field. Think D1 skywatch patrol with the enemy moving against each other, that yellow bar knight with massive hp, the wolves are prowling, and the taken appear all going on at once. No stupid mechanics like standing on plates and getting buffs or debuffs, or dps phases that force you into optimal load outs. Just kill aliens with space magic. I was hoping the cabal raid would be that, and there would be a whole walking wall of phalanx shields in front of a sweet valus commander. But no, we got collect pollen and kill the dogs and fat men in the bath house.
-
hardest part is baths, its just the problem of 2 many adds tbh everything else is very easy and doable, we did dogs on first try and ticktac toe on first try, how ever we spent many hours at baths and almost didn't beat it just because of the over run with adds. calius wasn't bad
-
This is like Geraldo opening Al Capone's vault. Wait for it, here comes the surprise, wait for it.... umm keep looking, it must be under the shader...did anyone check behind the rock....umm go to commerical

Edited by El Atriox: 10/19/2017 1:19:04 AMThey had the chance to AT LEAST throw us a reskinned raid fusion rifle, grenade launcher, sidearm (kinetic/energy), legendary shotgun, auto rifle (energy), hand cannon (energy), pulse rifle (kinetic), scout rifle (kinetic), but no, we got a new shader and a freaking ornament, that's just lazy.

I swear, D2 is the biggest in your face case of “Don’t waste my time 2017.”
-
Not gonna care about doing it, but much obliged writing down the changes regardless.
-
I stopped at the gauntlet changes...So I can platinum the game without a hard raid completion, all rewards are the same as normal mode, and my power stays the same...yeah have fun with that.

3 RepliesYeahhhhh, that's gonna be a no for me dog

1 ReplyEven so if one is simply after the trophy, im going with Nightfall. Hell the rewards from either are pointless at 305 anyway.
