Why you must Raid

I've seen a lot of people expressing frustration in regards to finding teammates for and completing the raids, in particular Kings Fall. I know some people prefer pvp over pve, but I'm here to tell you that raiding is by far the fastest way to level up your guardians and by far the most rewarding experience in the game. The largest challenge for many is finding a fireteam. Well if you're reading this post than you're in luck. Destiny App has a built in LFG service. Go to the "More" tab and then select "Recruitment". From there you will be able to use the filters to query for exactly the raid or other end game material you're searching for. This may seem like a burden at first, but I promise you it only takes about 5-10 minutes to put together a fireteam through the app and the rewards are well worth it. The next complaint that I always hear is that people are always excluding new players, due to their inexperience or low light level. My recommendation to those who are new to the raid is this: 1. Create your own fireteam. I know it may seem counterintuitive considering you've never completed the raid, but the great thing is that there are plenty of experienced guardians looking to help newbie's. You just need to make it know on your post that you're new and looking for help. This will also save you the hassle of being kicked from fireteams that are looking for experienced players only. 2. Start on Normal. Normal mode will allow you to learn the encounters of the raid and still collect some nice loot (320 gear). Plus you're still able to revive your teammates if they die, which will make the raid go quicker so you can actually complete each encounter. 3. Have patience and listen to your Sherpa. The first time through is always overwhelming. Just listen to the experienced players on your team and they will help guide you to success. 4. Have fun! That's why we play isn't it! Well you're all set to become the next King Slayers, now get out there and kick some Hive ass!

  • This is a well thought out post with encouraging writing, albeit a lot of this information isn't "news". Of course, some may not read the news updates, maybe new to Destiny, or a casual player who doesn't know some of this information. Unfortunately, for me and possibly others, not raiding has nothing to do with having to find a fireteam, the effort to manually create a fireteam, or the potential rewards. For me it's simply... I don't like raids. The concept of a group of players having to spend hours repetitiously fighting the same AI enemies... for hours if unsuccessful repeating the same process... [i]hours[/i]... makes me want to slit my own wrists. In the end, for me and possibly other people, it's the raid itself that's undesirable. Everyone is different. To each their own.

    • I play to have fun. So maybe a non-platforming raid with fallen or cabal will happen one day. Until then, I find no fun in anything hive/taken or platforming.

    • I tried doing the raid for the first time, and some of my teammates sucked. And they were 335. I mean some of my teammates could barely get past the relic part. It also took me an hour to find a team. I just want a high level artifact! This is ridiculous. I did better than my teammates by dying less and it was my first time doing the raid! And someone always ended up getting kicked because of NAT type or whatever. It's ridiculous.

      • Did all the raiding etc on my old acct. On this new acct i will never raid. Heres why... sitting in orbit whilst ppl were switching out gear etc really -blam!-ing pissed me off, completing a raid & not getting the stuff i want & therefore repeating the same shit over & over , raiding isnt like a strike that takes 10 mins, its a monotonous boring experience that im glad i stopped doing. I now play all other content which is less of a grind & i dont need to be 300+ light to participate, i also only play solo now & i get alot more done in the game instead of sitting around in orbit bullshitting. Raids & cooperative play are overrated as far as im concerned.

        • Raid and trials should be equally the fastest, and then iron banner and the nightfall should give lower light level gear and strike playlist and regular crucible should give slightly lower light gear

            • Someone speaking some sense about raiding - why so many feel the need to jump straight into HM I don't know, run NM learn the mechanics and it becomes a far more enjoyable experience all around

              • With decent communication, raiding can be fun. I have no clue how teams can beat the raid the day it's out because the mechanics take multiple wipes to figure out.....for my team, countless wipes to enjoy the experience of the raid in all its glory and frustration. My raid leader was opposed to youtube, so you can imagine how much time we wasted.

                  I agree, except that King's Fall never did it for me. Part of it has to do with the drab environment. Something I'm really looking forward to in ROI is the outdoor parts of the raid. I'm also burned out with the hive and especially the Taken. I also didn't like the raid itself, going from one objective to another with seemingly no purpose and no significant background on the Warpriest, Gologoroth or the sisters. Why are they just hanging out there waiting for us to come through? Just doesn't make sense. Lack of story, etc. It just wasn't compelling for me and I got bored really quickly, especially when we had to wipe and do it over. No fun, no raid.

                    Never done a raid... thanks to Bungie and the no matchmaking. Funny, how The Division has matchmaking and we all work together fine.

                    • The problem is, nobody will actually stay for the whole raid, it's almost like. "Well, good job guys, we got past the totems. WOO HOO, see you never" *XxFaizeMLGproxX has left the game*

                        • Back in year 1 before I left the game and deleted my main characters, I used to raid every week on all 3 characters (VoG and CE). VoG is still the best hands down and CE is passable. Fast forward to the TTK raid. Did it once on normal and never again. It was boring and the parts where u had to jump through ships and dick slammers (particularly annoying with a Warlock) put me off completely. Not even going to bother getting the ToM exotic because of this. Implementing SBMM and destroying weapon balance in PVP (snipers and pulse rifles is all you will see, with the occasional Last Word) but to screw up the main PVE event is pretty much unforgivable. Regret every moment in coming back. Really do.

                        • I think the biggest problem with the raid scene in Destiny is the raids themselves. VoG is still the best one and it's kind of lackluster. Plus the way Bungie decided to have their rolls work out severely dampens any want to do any sort of grinding in the game.
