1st off Since D1 beta to now I have logged over 15k hours in this game. I know how Bungie thinks, works and catering to new lights.
I hated King Fall in D1. 1st of it was the 1st raid no longer offering primary weapons with elemental Damage, something that made previous raids unique and worth wile. It was long and at the time at 30fps making for a primitive overall bakance of gameplay. This made it long and hard for gear that was no better than regular world or other playlist weapons and armour. Touch of Malice was a quest weapon and by no means as flexible as it is today.
Yet its now tied behind a 1% drop rate, weighted on new lights or those with low hours in the game.
I hated it then and hate it now for the exotic hidden away for whatever reason. I like it now for rather simple fact it's easyer due to weapons now and more importantly 60fps and overall effectiveness of our charecters.
But the weapons are still the same boring stuff except for 1 now no longer earned as a quest. I hoped for the siva part of earth and the raid that went along with it. Wrath of the Machine that again offered a nice exotic through a quest and some pretty solid weapons as well. Oh, did I mention it was a blast .
Kings Fall in my opinion was the worse raid in D1, though the campaign was cool. D2 offers nothing of that as well.
I actually have to force my self through Kings Fall in hopes for Touch of Malice. But its a painful experience for a veteran that already did it 20 + times including Hard mode and had TOM with me to ease the pain in D1. My point..It makes me cringe every time a newcomer runs it with me and gets the exotic 1st clear and based on the past it will take me awile. What is it like to get a raid exotic so soon? Must be exciting, as I wouldn't know. By the time 1k, Anarchy and Mythoclast dropped for me it was more of a thank God, now I dont have to grind for this mindlessly every week anymore and can enjoy it...for a short wile anyway.
FYI anyone with immature responses or stupid its rng man stuff better have more time invested in Destiny than myself. Otherwise you have nothing to stand on.
Thanx for reading, if you made it this far.
