Hard Mode Raid Differences LIVE UPDATE

Prestige mode is live! I’ll be running it with a team as soon as it goes live on Xbox one. I have roughly 8 completions on normal mode and know how to run every role on every boss in the raid, so I’ll keep my eyes open for anything that’s different! Here I will list all the differences from normal mode to prestige mode for those who are at work/school or otherwise can’t find out themselves right away. Drop an upvote or comment to save this in your list so you can keep an eye on the changes! And if you’re on Xbox one and you’re looking for a good raid team, feel free to add me! - Arrgoat —�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�— PRESTIGE MODE —�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�— Entire Raid Changes [spoiler]Loadouts - NOT locked! :) Revives - Just like trials. You have a revive token. Once you revive one person, you can’t revive again for that challenge or until you wipe. ALSO, if you DIE you LOSE your revive token and can’t revive anyone. So dying really takes away two revives from the team, because not only do you need to be revived, but you can no longer revive anyone else. Enemies- all enemies are MUCH tougher. Even with a full team of 300+ it’s proven a challenge. Bring high DPS high ammo guns. Raid Access- you can not access hard mode unless you have beaten normal mode. [/spoiler] Listed in this weeks order Courtyard (Opening Doors) [spoiler]All enemies are BULLET SPONGES. Bring a very good heavy and a roaming super.[/spoiler] Gauntlet [spoiler]PLATFORMS - Two psions spawn after you shoot arrows. The normal one at the bottom of the arrows, and a floating one that spawns in a random location that needs shot down. Need a different runner each time. Every person must run once! During the last phase of running there are 3 orbs per connect-4 Wall, instead of 4.[/spoiler] Dogs (Pleasure Gardens) [spoiler]8 dogs now! 2 new dogs, one at rock and one at L2.[/spoiler] Baths/Pools [spoiler]During your DPS phase there are more bathers that spawn. Once your first DPS phase is done you can NOT go back to your original plates. Instead the game randomly assigns 4 people a plate. When DPS is done you will see a symbol on your screen (sun, chalice, dog, axe). You must go to this plate.[/spoiler] Calus (Final Boss) [spoiler]No more Throne room or Void teams anymore. As soon as a throne room person kills a psion they are teleported into the void and a random person is teleported out of the void. This happens for each phase of symbols, so 3 times each run on the void.[/spoiler] Legend of Acrius [spoiler]Completing the final step of the quest doesn’t award an upgraded gun. The reward for the final step is simply an ornament for the shotgun that you already have.[/spoiler] I think that’s everything! My thoughts; hard mode is not for your casual gamer. You need all 6 people to be seasoned gamers and seasoned raiders. Everyone needs to know just about every role during every fight since the random rotations force everyone to play every role. But knowing isn’t enough, you need to have good communication and the skills to execute. Just like normal mode, if one person messes up just one thing it sends the team in a downward spiral. This might not be. Raid for LFG, but more so for playing with people you know and play well with so you’re all of equal skill level. My randoms today couldn’t beat it, but me and my friends will at some point. I gotta have that emblem! Good luck to everyone.

  • Hard mode raid difference: 1. More bullshit 2. Even Less fun Fin.

    • Ironically, all the LFG teams I've joined had angry, sweaty players not interested in friendship

      • Guys, stop putting yourselves through this constant frustration and disappointment. This whole game is a glorified DLC from Destiny 1 without Destiny 1. While we are begging for content Warframe just dropped a free open world update that has more playability than this $60 DLC. When a 4 year old free to play game is more enjoyable than your 1 month old $60 game there's a big problem

          • You want the new, different colored prestige raid armor? Run the first banners segment on your characters. That first chest will give you an appropriate power level engram and a few copies of the new shader. Boom. You have prestige armor.

            • All I see are people complaining about the drops. No one is making you do this. Personally I enjoy shooting things in the face, blowin shit up and doing mechanics. My fireteam happens to be OP af so this shit is just another thing for us to do. Tldr: git gud or stop bitchin

              So what you're saying is. It's not worth my time because it doesn't do anything for my Legend of Acrius? Nice.

              • I got .04% friendship, which wasn't enough, so I purchased some more friendship at Eververse, which I promptly used to glitch into walls. This led Bungie to nerf fusion rifles. True story.

                • knowing a casual can't beat it is exactly why there's nothing but cosmetics that can be gained from it, wouldn't want anyone to feel left out because they didn't have a specific gun from the hard mode

                  • So in prior Raids on D1 playing Hard mode increased the level cap and had guaranteed max level drops? Is that the case with prestige mode? If not then literally what is the point of playing end game content that doesn't offer end game rewards.

                    Not once in 2000 hours of destiny have I been less bothered to beat a hard raid, all the others had reasons to head back in, this just seems like a massive waste of time. Yeah yeah we should play for fun..most of my fun in destiny comes from the weapons and grinding it out, if you have the raid weapons already why do a harder challenge. I like destiny 2 and think it's a solid base but many lessons learned from destiny 1 haven't been carried forward to 2, the forums atm are literally unreadable due to everyone complaining.

                    • Was power level increased above 305? Because, even at 305, it takes 3 shots from a regular red bar fatso to die. Like... wtf?

                      They could have at least changed the gear up, honestly what's the point of Titan mobility gear? Gear wise I can just grind out planet faction rep like I have and get armor with far superior stats compared to raid the set which SHOULD be top tier. I guess i'll just stick to my FWC set for 7 resilience 7 recovery or my retrograde gear for 4 mobility 5 resilience 8 recovery. Maybe the next DLC will give us something worth raiding for besides "completion". Atheon, Crota and Oryx gave us reasons to come back week after week to smash those faces in, I know your breaking away from D1 Bungie and I get it but you have ruined the raiding experience for us core players seemingly to pander to newcomers. Let me ask you Bungie who will be here in a year? 2 years? 4 years? Who will be here through good times and bad? Not the cats you pandered to but us core players who love the Destiny experience, the lore, the pvp, the mystery and exploration. I know it may not be all your fault Bungie, it probably has a lot to do with Activision and if so you better kick that trash to the curve and run. Rant complete.

                        • Tried it yesterday, but constant connection errors were the biggest challenge. Looking to complete it, just because i do actually like having to learn the different roles in the raid. But i'd probably keep it at only 1 completion. It's trying hard without anything to gain. Nice for a 1 time challenge for seasoned raiders i guess.
