Destiny 2’s latest raid has been a subject to controversy ever since release. Let’s discuss it. Loot. It’s the motivator and reward for such a task. The GoS armour definitely looks the part, it looks worthwhile but not perfectly compatible with shaders, a shame but tolerable. The GoS weapons are randomly rolled, a shame as it means no new unique perks but some interesting combinations are possible (Auto rifle with triple tap?), the designs however don’t match the armour but are very good nonetheless, highly compatible with shaders and the archetypes are all currently META so nothing to complain there. Divinity is the raid exotic, and a unique support weapon with reasonable damage on its own. No heavy weapons however, pretty disappointing. Mechanics. To each their own, but nonetheless. Miscommunication is common, two teams doing seperate mechanics (voltaic and angelic, enlightenment and defence, eyes and motes, enlightenment and motes), it’s inevitable but tolerable. The tether mechanic is partially glitchy and too slow, enlightenments and rebuilding should be immediate upon full connection, not a lil animation slow before it registers. Motes are okay, supplicants suck. And I’d say it needs a little bit more time after damage phases for the team to reposition and reorganise. Lore, the Kentarch-3 team is interesting but ultimately just provides context for the raid and it’s exotic rather than additional story. Other, the large arenas to fight and beautiful scenery makes a great experience as expected from the Black Garden, and Sol Divisive are always looking aesthetic so no complaints there. Armour mods are helpful, but the stackable feature makes most obsolete in comparison to enhanced relay defender, and they aren’t very, obviously, helpful outside the raid but nonetheless useful.
