[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]

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 :(
