Destiny hasn't had a "damage this giant wall before it kills you" DPS race yet so it's not an MMO until that happens.
But it will happen.

Because maybe we haven't watched every trailer?
Please don't assume what people have watched or not. Spoilers are spoilers. Take that excuse elsewhere.
If you like to melee then it's good...otherwise I don't like the way it looks or feels.

More than anything about the raids, this structure is what I've been wanting. I haven't played WoW since BC and barely into WOTLK but I played a good chunk of FF14 and 14's launch raid was a huge crazy partitioned thing that took people months before server firsts started popping.
I haven't messed with it too much but I hear it's alright in crucible.
Just like the car, yuck.

No challenge mode, so they are LL gated like the factions packages from what people have found so far.

goth did it
grats on being world 50th goth
Just make it a giant hive with a 5 minute enrage timer and you have to damage it while avoiding hooks everywhere

I'm 368 and getting 370-372 drops.
Appear to be the same as faction rank ups. 0-3 LL above your current light level, and the level of your equipped piece of gear in that slot.

I personally think this raid is
.
one of the worst and won't be fun and interesting after a month. Absolutely pointless jumping sections (they've never been so pointless before), same mechanics (with minor differences) for killing (almost) every boss... It's pretty good for a Live Team, but it's just a little bit better than Crota. It looks like a mix between PoE and strikes like Devil's Lair

Are Vanilla exotics still worthwhile/good? Most posts I've seen are before April and early in the year/2015

Are we seriously using spoiler tags for the Light Level items drop at in the raid based on your current Light?
This is getting out of hand. I understand mechanics, secrets and gear but not fucking numbers.

Spoilers are subjective. This literally always happens. If it's that big of an issue for you...

I'm just gonna stay out of here for awhile. Ridiculous.
No it was just what Light Level, not what the item was or perks. Just what Light Level things are dropping at based on your Light Level.

Oh wow there's a secret
room and chest under the final boss with a bunch of laser tripwires guarding it
Where did you see that?

You're in a discussion thread. We're here to discuss details of the raid.

Goth still wins at the end of the day. He's already uploading it to YouTube lol.

Broman just found it, I think Goth is going to upload a video of it shortly

Goths stream.
Apparently there's a set number of monitors you have to activate/destroy throughout the raid in order to unlock that chest
Goth's team found it by accident. There are a bunch of lasers blocking off of a chest with a monitor that says "777" on it. Activating the monitor turns some of the lasers off, they couldn't find and more monitors in the final room.

And GhaleonEB's post:
All that is needed are spoiler tags for a week for the raid details. How hard is that?

Raid launches from now on should just have their own thread to avoid all this drama.
Imagine if Destiny was developed by CD PROJECT RED,
Think of the amount of content, just all over your face. They released one of the largest scale RPGs ever, replete with an epic campaign, too many side quests, massively long cutscenes, dozens upon dozens of characters a year after OG Destiny and still managed to release 2 full expansions each equalling the entire Destiny catalog in size.
Oh, what could have been.

It's only drama because people don't want to spoiler tag stuff.

This has been discussed many times in the past. In all the previous cases people have decided to leave the raid discussion in this thread but ask people to put it under spoiler tags.
Personally, I think folks should spoiler tag encounter and mechanical details, and maybe specific rewards, for a while. When you get to stuff like light levels I don't think it's a big deal.
And while I appreciate your passion for it, you don't need to police the thread. Please let it go.

So, I have not picked up Rise of Iron. I'm on the fence about it. My main hang-up is not the amount of content, but rather state of the PvE sandbox. The April update whacked shotguns and snipers in PvE pretty hard, IMO, and dinged my favorite scout (MIDA) along the way. That was a last straw for me, and I've only played twice since the April update.
How are things now? I felt like shotguns and sidearms were neutered in PvE, leaving snipers (which were nerfed in ways I hated) and fusion rifles (don't like using them). I couldn't get a sense from the patch notes how the new balance is.
Is the new loot a light remixing of the old, or is there some genuinely new gear that changes things up?
Destiny has been trending upwards, and last gen consoles will be ditched for Destiny 2; hopefully they get better at designing PvE content and balancing though (separate balancing for PvE and PvP... not that hard); Archon's Forge and PoE when it came out... awful. It's bad I'm already getting hyped for Destiny 2, and I haven't been enjoying ROI as much as I'd hope.
Put CD Project Red in charge of the writing, take Activision out of the equation, and leave Bungie in charge of the gameplay. Even the small world that we have in current Destiny could be more epic with CDPR writing the script.

I would've bought this at 19. Still on the fence too and only 310 because I quit just before KF HM. I was expecting Destiny 2 this year and sort of bummed they grinded out 1 even more.
But though I didn't like all TTK changes, Bungie has come a long way regarding MMO type or loot games or whatever Destiny is. I have faith in a sequel. Last-gen is finally dropped as well.

So uh, without spoiling anything, how was the raid?

I'd let Bungie help with the lore. Because it's pretty damn good.
It's the delivery that needs work.
