So today a new article was released on gameinformer about the new raid, they had an interview with the main raid creator about what we can expect, without going into specifics. I'll post the article that you can read and a 7 minute video in case you don't feel like reading.

[b][u]Pros:[/u][/b] - The raid sounds like it has a few mechanics but is also very gear oriented, which makes me hope that it's similar to Vault of Glass. The mechanics were hard yet simple and difficult to mess up once you knew them, which was something I loved about VoG. - The main focus of this raid was entirely fun, not difficulty. That's what I like to hear. - They're going to force people to be the star in the raid. That's something I really liked about Kings Fall, everyone had to know certain mechanics and you couldn't just pass off the sword or relic to the best one for the job. I don't think I ever would have taken gaze or ran for Oryx if I hadn't been forced to. But now that I have I always know that there's at least one person on my raid team that's going to be able to do everything and teach everybody. [b][u]Cons:[/u][/b] - He said that they liked the way Kings Fall weapons were, which is problematic. The raid weapons in year 1 were special and even people who didn't like to raid were clambering for Fatebringer and Black Hammer. Year 2 raid weapons looked cool but were complete trash. I don't remember the last time I used anything other than the raid machine gun and raid sniper, they were the only decent things that dropped. Even then they were outclassed by 1k stare or the iron banner LMG. - It's going to be another raid weapon like ToM. I love the ToM, but damn it was completely useless outside of the raid. If there's a raid weapon that specialises in the raid, that's fine. But it needs to be able to do other things as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, what's your take on the raid from the info given so far?
