[Raid Spoilers] [Very Long] My issue with endgame.

I've always loved The Vault Of Glass and Crota's End, these raids alone made me obsessed over the game after quitting it in November 2014 and they also introduced my to a whole new genre of games. The thrill of booting up Crota's End after forming a group and traversing the abyss, everybody is excited and begging RNGesus for the missing piece from their collection weather it is the Hand Of Crota, the Black Hammer, the Crux or the amazing, the powerful, the beautiful, the one and only Gjallarhorn. I still remember getting my first Gjallahorn and second one in a row, and getting my third one after Ir Yut, while my friend was pissed because he still didn't get one. Everyone is blasting the VoG Exotic chest, hoping for a Gjallahorn, Ice Breaker or a Hawkmoon. People teaching others cheeses and having fun while doing it. These raids were fun and had a replay value, I used to play the raid 6 times a week and not be bored of it. But with TTK there were no interesting exotics that made you feel that you are much more powerful, and the raid was very boring and its loot system didn't help at all. Many people prefer the legacy raids over King's Fall, but many love because of how it was much more stricter and harder, the execution has to be perfect. - Here is my issue with the endgame in TTK: Currently, TTK has 1 Raid, 1 PoE mode (Insultingly easy) and Trials that can drop 335 armor, which would be fair if there wasn't any content that can't be bumped up to TTK. Well, there is, VoG, CE and PoE 32, 34& 35. Just make it that these raids are 300 light and can drop 335 Gear, that's it, no taken revamp or messing with how weapons drop or their perks and stats. This will encourage people to return to the game, this give people interesting, fun and creative weapons to collect and play with. The Iron Banner, The Gunsmith and Xur are the most useless things in the game, Lord Saladin, All factions and The Gunsmith sell 280 light gear, which is incomprehensible, at least let them sell 300/310/320 light. I hope the team that is working on the Rise Of Iron learn from the previous raids while working on The raid, Endgame and loot/leveling system. Thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day to read this, let's have a civil conversation on this matter. So, if you have any tasteless remarks, please throw them in the garbage and thank you.

  • I swear to -blam!-, I prefer a SIVA VoG over Taken VoG anyday. The blight shall no longer infest the sacred Vault.

    • The light level of items sold by the vendors should match your current light, or at least be within an increment.

      • I do want the old raids moved up. I loved VoG but could never build a team to do it enough. Spend 30 mins to assemble a team just for someone to leave or rage quit. Spend another 30 mins trying to get a 6th. In any case it was cool as hell. (-blam!- Crota. The raid was fine, the loot was awesome, but the Crota fight was lame.) Now that I've got more time I've been sinking it into KF. I like KF's team mechanics but it can be very boring at times. Nowhere near as cool as the first two. It's a bit TOO mechanic heavy... as in, the adds and bosses are actually easy, its just how well do you execute the given puzzle. And the great and hyped up Oryx was worse that his son... just another jumping puzzle really. I still love teaming up and running the thing, and I like that the whole team has to perform. It seems kinda dumb to just leave the yr One content in the dust. It doesn't feel like we are expanding so much as moving on. There was a lot more excitement to getting the rewards. With KF its just a vault load of infusion fuel. The weapons basically have a "meh" sound effect when the chest opens instead of that Hallelujah sound that Ir Yut and Mythoclast had. So I guess I agree. Wholeheartedly. Though now it's sort of a moot point. I was waiting for them to bring this content up with the April Update, but it didn't happen. Rise of Iron then Destiny two sometime in the future. Looks like those raids are gone.
