Honestly, I just do not see the point of doing it. With all of the armor being cosmetic only (no raid-specific perks) and some of the weapons being obtainable from Hawthorne, oh and lets not forget there being no "Prestige" weapons, I just do not see the point in doing it.
You can look at the past raids where we had weapons like Fatebringer, Vex Mythoclast, Genesis Chain, and Black Hammer. Along with great looking gear with [b]RAID-SPECIFIC PERKS[/b] and it really shows how lackluster the Leviathan is in comparison. Ah, and the lack of bosses really kills the hype for me as well. Where we could've had a colosseum section where we face hordes of cabal and their hounds to test our might and impress Calus, we were completing puzzles. What happened there? Why did we go from the occasional puzzles that lead to a boss section in Destiny 1, to a raid full of puzzles and [b]ONE[/b] boss? But these are just my opinions tbh.
Three things I hope Bungie takes into consideration into the future:
- Prestige raids should have special weapons and armor that are only obtainable within the raid with perks that can not only help in the raid, but in other activities (I.e. more heavy ammo dropping from cabal)
- More boss sections, IMO there should not be more puzzles than bosses. Extra puzzles can instead be used in finding hidden loot and potentially a raid exotic (similar to Outbreak Prime).
- Normal Raids should not have revive tokens. That should be kept for prestige mode specifically. Also there should not be a timer to revive someone, the only good this does is show who is the weakest link and who to kick. Member when you could be the last alive and could just barely complete the encounter? I member.
TL;DR: The raid is not as fun as the past ones, and its "prestige" version has little to no incentives for completing it. [b]IMO[/b]
EDIT: Was not expecting to get this much attention tbh. Thanks everyone for the feedback!
EDIT 2: Lul I figured the TLDR was long so I made a smaller one.
EDIT (FINAL): Alright, I keep seeing people saying I should run the raid first before I make an opinion on it. I'm sorry, what part of "I do not see a point in doing it" are you unable to comprehend? I have done every raid in Destiny 1 and after watching numerous Youtubers and streamers run the raid (including the underbelly part) I legitimately do not see the point in doing it at all. Am I suddenly not allowed an opinion if I don't do X because you said so? LOL If that invalidates my opinion for you then so be it. Just know that others who have done the raid share this opinion as well.

I haven’t felt like running it. I would like to get it out of the way eventually but with this community if you’re not among the 1st it gets more and more difficult to find a decent team

2 AntwortenAgreed there are no powerful weapons that are worth doing it for.

I had interest in it the first week just to try it out. So, I tried it and realised it was a headache just like the other mechanic-heavy Raids before it.

1 AntwortenHeh, in my 1st Hard Mode Crota raid (I ahdn't even finished normal yet but some friends needed a body) I was the only survivor after killing the Deathsinger. Since I was underlevelled it took me a while to clear out the necessary boomers to continue on. That was stressful and fun at the same time. Would not be possible now... The Raid should have relevant loot, period. In D2 there is no "gotta have", or "that's really awesome I want that" loot.I have completed Leviathan once on normal. Kinda want to do it again, but at the same time I constantly ponder why waste that time when I can get as good or better stuff doing easier things? In D1 I was fine running the raids over and over again. Leviathan is so blad with silly mechanics and no awesome Bosses to fight. So I find myself not bothering with it...

Bearbeitet von zedlanik: 11/7/2017 3:44:06 AMDone the raid twice and it felt like nah fam let my clan members do it I'll get weapons for free as reward

Agreed, it's boring.

Because you cannot lock away content behind a wall or how will the special snowflakes get it?

I agree for me I like to see bosses mixed in with puzzles for a raid, like in Lore Calus has assassins working for him, why didn’t we see one of them as a side boss??? I only did raid on normal about 5 times and I haven’t stepped back into it for other modes there. Is no point and I don’t care for emblems
-
There's just no incentive to do it, I still haven completed it. Technically the only part I completed was the bath CP and tried the dogs but that was on the day of the raid launch and haven't touched it since. It's just too easy to level up with public events and trials

Reasons to do raids. Get best armor and weapons in game that you can't level up without. It's fun and a great challenge. I was excited for a Cabal raid but it looks pretty boring.

1 AntwortenI'm not a raider so I didn't read the whole post, but I did notice you mentioned some of the raid gear being available from Hawthorne. It's only available if people in your clan do the raid, so if everyone lost interest in the raid, you would get no raid gear from Hawthorn.
