Please Bungie, make a few raids that are relatively more easily accessible.

Hold your horses and put down your torches & pitchforks friends; I know what you're all (probably) thinking: "Wow, another scrub who sucks at raids and wants Bungie to take away Destiny's sense of challenge." I promise you, that is NOT what this thread is about. In fact, I love how Destiny 2 has difficult raids that require actual teamwork and cooperation to complete. Games that are overall just too easy bore me a little, and I feel like right now Destiny 2 is at a pretty good spot with its difficulty (especially with the recent changes to the Heroic Strikes, I absolutely love them now. They actually require SKILL to complete.). [b]But[/b] I don't think that making ALL of the raids as difficult and mechanic-heavy as they currently are is a good idea. Don't get me wrong, I've beat Leviathan plenty of times and enjoyed the experience exceedingly, but everytime before I play it I have to almost, prepare myself mentally solely for it. Gotta plug in my mic, head to the Fireteam Finder, begin building my team, greet all of the fellow Guardians, teach new people (if any) the mechanics and such, [b]heavily[/b] communicate with my team in the sections of the raid where it's necessary, and so on.... I love doing all of what I just mentioned, but sometimes it just gets a little tiring! It'd be nice to have some raids I could quickly jump into that are about the same difficulty and have the same level of mechanics as the new Heroic Strikes. I don't really like the thought that each time I wanna do a raid, I can't just kick back, blast my music, keep my mic unplugged, and just relax while doing it. Please keep the current raids exactly as they are Bungie, but it'd be nice to get a few that were just a bit toned down. Thanks for reading.

  • If you’re wanting something that requires no communication and you can mindlessly do, that’s not a raid you want.

  • I hear what you're saying dude. In my opinion a raid like Kings Fall would be a great addition to D2. The boss fights were fun, and the mechanics weren't too difficult to learn. Things could get a bit tricky at the sisters and at the Oryx fight when doing Heroic mode with folks that hadn't done the raid much, but once they got the hang of it and had timing down, it was fun as hell! The atmosphere of the raid coupled with the different boss fights and mechanics just made this raid my favourite by far 😀 I think a raid with more boss encounters and less running around doing daft shit would be great 👍

  • I mean, except these aren't real "raids" take any WoW player or PC player with MMO raiding experience into a D2 raid and they will say "this is a raid?" Raids aren't built upon puzzles, only the bosses doing a wipe like mechanic that players need to figure out how to clear. These mechanics last between 30-90 seconds. Not the whole fight. There are lots of other smaller mechanics going on in the fight challenging the group's quick thinking. The boss's are the main focus of the fight. D2, its the complete opposite. The entire boss fight is built upon a wipe mechanic that you have to complete as a group within a few minutes else its a wipe all the time, except for 30 seconds of a 'burn phase'. The bosses just sit there and take it, maybe fight back only during the burn phase. Besides that, they are just glorified stationary turrets. These aren't raid bosses. Even Borderlands did this better with their raid bosses. Long fights with sustained DPS over burst DPS, with bosses pushing out mechanics that players need to mitigate or dodge in order to survive.

    • Ya man join a clan that actively raids, my clan mates and I are running thru leviathan in about 35-40 mins now easily and that’s with a lot of joking around and having fun, by no means a speed run. I raid with the same 8-10 guys almost daily and it’s a blast , we barely even speak about the raid as we’re running it now as it’s second nature. Zero stress just fun talking shit and grabbing gear man

    • Bro, why don't you join a raiding clan? Friend everyone you actually play with in your current plan and find one where you don't have to explain everything every time.

    • What you are asking for are strikes. Raids are inherently more difficult and complicated. Not something to "kick back" in.

        The point of the raid is mechanics and communication but even so [quote]Leviathan: Pools- no communication needed Dogs- no communication needed Gauntlet- two mics needed Calus- three mics needed (4 for prestige) Castellum- no communication needed EoW: three mics needed (could probably do it with none but it would be annoying) Spire: Catch: No mics needed Fans: no mics needed Last 2 parts: 4 I think When I say no communication you still need to set everyone’s role and know what you’re doing. Just there doesn’t need to be any talk mid encounter.[/quote] Even when you do talk you say like one word. Just have to know what you’re doing

        • "Boy" sorry, its a thing. so in other words you want Heroic Strikes that Drop more loot, better Loot, loot worthy of grinding for.

        • raids (leviathan, eow) are currently easier than heroic strikes, so you should be able to kick back with no mic.
