Destiny 2 started pretty strongly with the Leviathan Prestige mode. The void room mechanic is easily my favourite. Then EoW happened, which was delayed twice if I remember correctly, then scheduled to be released with the SoS prestige mode. My fellow clan mates and I got extremely hyped up, theorising what mechanics could be changed - but nothing. Just restricted load outs and modifiers, plus harder ads. A MAJOR let-down in my opinion. I see people actively avoiding prestige runs for both EoW and SoS, Leviathan is still a big hit. Now, LW, SOTP & COS all have no prestige modes, something Bungie seems to have retired completely. Titles are extremely nice & doing a flawless run is somewhat challenging, but raids feel very empty without prestige versions of them. PROPER prestige versions, not just slapping a modifier and weapon load outs onto them and calling them prestige. I understand that it takes a lot of time, money and creative investment to adjust mechanics and maintain prestige modes. Yet, I think that D1 raids show how easy it can be: - No revives (maybe not do-able in D2 with the counter) - Aksis went from 3 orbs to needing 7 orbs to take down the shield - The oversoul that spawned after [u]every[/u] damage phase on Crota - Light Eater Knights in KF Changes don't need to be [i]massive[/i], but adding them would certainly add more to the raids. And the weekly challenge bounties for raids certainly do not add that 'prestige' feel to SOTP, COS or LW. So, on to the GOS armour set (I'll reserve my final judgement for when I actually get it), seeing that it is a (sorry about this) a 'lazy' reskin compared to many of the other armour sets shown off in today's TWAB, it kinda makes me think how much value is still put into the raids. I absolutely LOVED LW, SOTP was a hard miss for me, COS went back where it should be, but it doesn't fix the issue a lack of prestige modes brings. And I believe that Bungie is doing their best, but come on! For a game that is so focussed on raids, not having prestige modes just seems off. That is my rant. I guess, the anger over the reskinned armour is what really sets me off. I thought, 'well enough', about the lack of actual prestige raids, but the GOS armour is just the cherry on this metaphorical sundae. I sincerely hope that Bungie brings back Prestige raids, that focus on mechanics and have amazing loot.
