Suggestion: Raid practice mode.

I wish we could have a practice mode in raids, or even dungeons, with no loot, so we could learn the mechanics without worrying about ads. So all the mechanics would be there, even a wipe mechanic, but ads and enemies would have like 1 hp. Thank you.

  • OP: Good suggestion! 👍 My 2 cents: in D1 - I raided nonstop with my regular crews of buds from around the world, at different times of my/our respective day. And it was a hoot! After the Sunset debacle…everyone I knew bounced…then, I did the same - to WarFrame (MR24)… Some time later…I returned to Destiny’s shores…but with a very different level of engagement, and perspective. I love the Destiny universe - what’s left of it, and am familiar with most things in it. However, things had changed…and not for the better, imho: overtuned difficulty levels / throttling of a player’s abilities / toxic ‘KWTD or kick’ elements / etc… and most of all, the bad stuff going on within BHQ…🧐 So, there was more that I didn’t want to do, than stuff that I do / did; and pootling about doing vanilla stuff on my vanilla build toons was okay by me; I also spent time completing unfinished Seals / Triumphs etc… The Final Shape - the campaign on L was beyond my patience grade…so I stuck to doing it on normal mode. The epic 12-man mission was worth it…as that closed my 10-year compact…and those strands that bind, were well and truly severed. 🥳 Pale Heart zones - were great, but, my W / T couldn’t access until they completed the campaign?! I did it once already on my H, and I did not want—at that stage—to rinse and repeat; even though I did eventually get it done, much, much later. Those 4 missions to get the Seal - I didn’t do. Those, and other ridiculous requirements meant I didn’t bother…same went for some of those exotic weapon quests, eg, that glaive…the latest shotgun one, too! But, I digress… I know I would have appreciated an ‘in game’ tutorial on the various puzzles and other secret mechanics prior to encountering them along the way! Some I could work out, others proved a trifle more complex. This was not my first rodeo, after all. 🤔 I can’t imagine how a New Light or returning old timer would feel about such things?! Raids: time is an issue. I’d be happy to jump into a bite-sized section and do that—as often as desired—rather than commit to a multi-hour long run via LFG / FTF or someone’s Discord. Raid Clans: great stuff…but, my own Clan I’m not abandoning, as it is for me and my wingman (son)…plus an old buddy from way back, who’s currently on other operations. What I’d love to be able to do, is temporarily join with any other Clan as an associate clan member, to do Raids / Dungeons etc..without having to sacrifice my own clan in the first place! And once the activity is done, we can all part ways as desired! Anyhoo, here I be - still, and with the positive changes to Trials…and the game - looking forward, hopefully, BHQ / Sony will MDGA! 👈 Ease Springs! 🫡 MDGA = Make Destiny Great Again! 🤞
