Raids are overcomplicated and not fun

Why does every raid encounter have to be convoluted with ridiculous mechanics? Every new raid were supposed to figure out some absurd mechanic about grabbing symbols or stepping on random plates in a specific order to make a boss that is immune (for no apparent reason) able to be damaged. For example, that one scourge of the past encounter where you melee a bunch of symbols which creates a force field around you (for no reason) which then somehow summons a tank which then eventually self destructs (for no apparent reason) after you shoot the boss’ magical immunity shield with it??? Who thought of this crap?? Everyone complains about crucible but at least I don’t have to step on a plate or shoot a sequence of symbols to actually deal damage to an enemy. I get that raids in this game are supposed to be difficult, but they should be more like D1 raids like vault of glass and crotas end where mechanics made logical sense and could be figured out by using common sense.

      • It should only take 1 to 3 players to complete to a raid.

        • Raids in d2 are just as easy as in d1. Yeah their are mechanics, there are none that are that hard. Other than the riven encounter which can get crazy. The problem with D2 raids are rewards, there is no great weapon that drops in a raid, that you can't get anywhere else.

          Overcomplicated yes to an extent not fun however guess that just depends on the person's definition of fun.

        • Raids in D1 - fun. Leviathan and the raid lairs - ok. Scourge of the Past - meh. Last Wish - were it not for the Wishing Wall, would not play it. Crown of Sorrow - nope. Garden of Salvation - clan can't find enough time to learn/play it (and not interested in LFGing raids).

          • I don’t think raids are complicated, I just think raid mechanics are boring. I watch the video and I lose interest 10 minutes in.

              • Honestly the raids aren’t that complicated as you say they are. The only encounter I’ve struggled with is vault in last wish but other than that the encounters are pretty easy to understand.

              • Mind you the community asked for raids with more mechanics and then they start complaining when they get them

                • Mechanics are overly ridiculous. I haven't cared about a raid since the Taken King. Its all garbage. toxoc players playing child games. its stupid. I dont care if I ever do another raid. My clan has lost so many players because of the ridiculousness of the new raids.

                  • All right. Seeing that this has well over 100 upvotes proves that these forums aren't for anyone who is actually competent at the game. I'm out.

                  • There isn't a single Raid encounter, in D1 or D2, that is over complicated. Every single encounter has some logic to it, and is relatively straightforward. Are there some elements of randomness involved? Yes, but it's usually minor, doesn't come up often, and is easy to adapt to. Every single encounter is doable. It's just a matter of wanting to get it done.

                    • But that's literally the game? Patrols might be more to your liking. Just walk around shooting ads all day long.

                      Feel like you are just mad after getting kicked from an raid group for lying about knowing the raid mechanics

                    • Holy shit ! Are you serious ? Raids are already easy as -blam!-, glitch and burst are enough for kill bosses most of time. WE. NEED. HARDER. MECHANICS !

                      • Have to disgaree here. Most of the raids give you a simplified version of the mechanics to start with and then evolve those as the raid contunues. At the end stage, it's usually just a case of each players keeping track of one or two mechanics at a time, that's it. People overcomplicate them becuase they see so much happening at once. Forget that, find out what you need to do for your specific role and that's it. If they were made simpler they would just be big strikes, which kind of defeats the purpose.
