Somehow, the day-1 Raid, on contest mode was EASIER than the legend NF.

How does this pass the smell test? I completed 2 clears day 1 and would rather do that instead of playing the Legend NF's.

  • So I take it is, the raid was easy then a nightfall, sounds like bungie is giving up on destiny entirely.

      The raid is a joke. They can't even have the contest be difficult anymore because for some odd reason every single part of the game has to be accessible to everyone. I finally did a day 1 on Friday and it was in a glorified dungeon. I am so disappointed. I was looking forward to a real contest raid. So depressing we got this easy crap.

      • I like this change to contest mode. I personally believe day 1 raids should be about discovering mechanics and not just beefy enemies and unforgiving dps checks. If you have to severly buff enemies for a 24-hour period to make your raid challenging, you do not have a compelling raid. Root of Nightmares let many players access and enjoy the day 1 experience in a way that previously had never happened. To that end, it was a huge success. Gatekeeping day 1 emblems behind temporary artificial challenges is not fun for most of the community. While I do believe these emblems should have some difficulty to obtain, I am all for making these activities more accessible on launch.

        • But was the raid fun? I really enjoyed the raid. 3rd encounter definetly a top 3 in terms of design and mechanics.

          • The day one raid on contest mode was not easy. Your just another forum trolls here to boast about your skills and next I'll here all about your glorious KD. No one in real life cares. Have fun in your bubble and echo chamber.

              • No, no it wasn't. I've completed numerous nightfalls and the raid twice (once in contest mode, once after), and the Raid is much harder.

                • Tbh I really like the raid being easier. So little players do raids to begin with, so having a easy to understand and teach raid to get more players engaged is a good thing for the game. I’m not a raid player myself, but I’ve got 14 Carrie’s already and absolutely love doing this raid. The quicker pre damage setup (similar to spire) is what a I think a lot of people enjoy. Not to time consuming, but requires good execution.

                  • Imagine... We are living in a world where people are complaining that Patrols & Lost Sectors are too hard but Day 1 Raids are too easy. 🫠

                      The legend nightfall is really easy. All you need is a build and play cover well

                      • Speak for yourself...I've spent the last 18 hrs playtime @ Nezerac. I completed this week's NF on Master 1st try under 30 min.

                        • So what? Bungie probably decided that an emblem was just… an emblem; that the activity most of us were looking forward to should be accessible to many. Release date shouldn’t be a streamer exclusive activity. Or else streamers should be paying the expansions for us; to play this game. I could only play the raid for a couple of hours (yeah sorry I had other plans this weekend) but I had a lot of fun playing with some of my friends that usually can’t get through the first encounter. These same players managed to beat it eventually, and I’m really happy for them. That said, I agree, Mars battlegrounds on GM is going to be challenging to beat in 45min. Bungie should probably adjust the timer.

                            • This makes no sense. Day 1 Raid takes hours upon hours to complete, if even completed. A Lost Sector will not take more than an hour to properly gameplay for it and execute.

                                • There's people saying it was a dungeon (first, 2nd, and final encounter) and then they took an encounter (3rd) from the Final Shape raid to turn this dungeon into a raid, since it's a filler dlc. That's why 3rd encounter doesn't fit any of the themed mechanics at all whatsoever.

                                      Bungie was too scared that the streamers or sweats would cry about difficulty even though they say they want it difficult and viewers would see how toxic these elites are i mean seriously if you watch them live its just arguments and low blow comments at each other on not doing good enough so they gave them easy mode but will increase the difficulty WHEN CONTEST MODE REMOVED to screw remaining members of the community over now that creators have done there part for advertising the raid and done video reviews for the weapons now bungie will do bungie make it harder now and make the exotic drop rate non existent to the average players to keep them on the hamster wheel . WE SHOULD BE AWARE BY NOW BUNGIE EXCELLS IN ALIENATING majority of ITS PLAYER BASE IN FAVOR OF 0.0001 PERCENT

                                        • Probably lack of effort on both. Personally, I haven't done either this week, so I can't give any personal opinions. I just didn't like Heists in general, so I have no desire to do a NF version of them either.
