[spoiler][i]This thread is a remake of an older thread I made a couple weeks back. I am remaking it because it was lost in the sea of threads, and the mobile app does not let you view your topics that far back.[/i][/spoiler]
Destiny is seriously lacking in challenging end game content. Sure when a new raid comes out it can be quite difficult at first, but after a while people seem to get bored. That is where I believe the Nightfall Raid comes in.
[b]Why do we need Nightfall Raids?[/b]
With players taking down Oryx like they take out the trash, it's easy to see that the players in this community like a challenge, and they like to be rewarded for it. That, and the King's Fall challenge modes were over-hyped, and ultimately a failure amongst the games elite PvE players.
[b]What is a Nightfall Raid?[/b]
The Nightfall Raid is similar in style and reward to the year one Nightfall strikes. There will be modifiers based on which raid is featured, including the notorious Nightfall modifier. Yea, you read that correctly. Your team will be sent to orbit upon wiping, and forced to replay the entire raid again perfectly.
[b]How often should the Nightfall Raid rotate?[/b]
I believe that the Nightfall Raid should be an event that is open once a month for a week, similar to Iron Banner. Every month a different raid will be featured. You and your team have the whole week to beat the raid with the modifiers. If you can achieve such a feat, you'll be rewarded [i]handsomly.[/i]
[b]What sort of rewards could you get?[/b]
The possibilities here are endless, but let's go with things that we know are possible [i]now.[/i] for starters I believe that the blue flaming head should make a return. If not that, make it some other subtle cosmetic effect that lets others know just how badass you are. This effect should stay on your character until the next event starts. We could see new versions of old favorite raid weapons (this would be a great way to make old weapons viable again.) New sets of raid themed gear. A new emblem and ship for each raid (where is our VoG emblem??) Exotic raid themed sparrows. 330 exotic gear could drop as well.
[b]How do we get the Nightfall Raids added in game?[/b]

I said this idea a while back and it never got attention

4 RepliesIf you check the PlayStation trophies less then 2% of players have completed a flawless raid. That sounds like it would just piss a lot of people off.

Plz god no

1 ReplyEdited by Raza582: 12/17/2015 11:26:33 AMThis is a great idea and I have consistently seen posts like this over the last year or so, I would love for it to happen but it can't all the time Bungie leave content like the Vault and Crotas End behind, also the weapons in year 1 are just too powerful, they would have to rework them all, there is nothing from year 2 that actually beats 1 for PVE. What would you swap out a Fatebringer for? Not much, Found Verdict or Black Hammer? Anything in year 2 better? Really want to drop a Gjallarhorn over having a sword? Doubtful. Maybe just my opinion but weapons from year 1 dwarf year 2 stuff and by some distance. So as much as I would love to see this it would only be a Kings Fall version due to Bungie not having more than one relevant raid going at the same time. Bungie would have to bring forth those dreaded weapons from year 1 that just turn the game into easy mode, as if it ain't easy already for the PVE elites. I want this to happen but I don't see how, looking at it from a neutral standpoint that is :(

Oh yes and you should also only be able to be revived ONCE per raid, and not being able to rejoin after being in orbit (aka no more people joining at the very end leaving NO work to be done), and you can beat it twice per week for rewards
-
2 RepliesIf destiny makes something that all teams can manage to finish everyone will be complaining If destiny makes something hard to finish that only great team can get done, everyone else would be complaining about not being able to get these rewards and elitism...etc I personally want more pve activities but i think challenge mode on hard is enough for this raid.

2 RepliesNo thanks, why constantly ask for old content again when new content is what's needed?
-
1 ReplyI agree with everything except the "die you go to orbit" part. Raids have too many moving parts to make that work. I don't want to wipe on Atheon because someone lags out and have to start the whole raid again.

Nightfall PoE

Nightfall raid, could be vault crota or kings fall with random mods would be awesome!
-
3 RepliesLol bungie doesn't take advice from people
-
Yes!!
-
Love it. Im in.
-
It would be nice for the nightfall to actually be a challenge again.
-
Dude not a bad idea i like it
-
Yes plz. Also poe thats way to underused

3 RepliesKeywords: Rewarded handsomely. Imagine....doing that for 20 strange coins. Yay...not.

Bump but I would probably not finish it :(
-
This is a good idea. I hope bungie finds a way to implement this, but will there be revives in nightfall raids
-
30 second revives? That way self-res is still potentially useful
-
How about changing back to Y1 Nightfalls
-
You are all awesome!
-
My only choice would be to solo it because I don't trust anyone to not die that long of time.

Edited by alvin2503: 12/17/2015 6:12:29 PMWe can't do that, that would bring more player back and give more content to our game
