Destiny

[musick]

yeah, I'm a big fan of the raids (VoG moreso than CE) and have invested a sh*t ton of hours in the game .... I'm still fine with HoW not having a raid and it almost makes sense to mix things up and not have a raid with every DLC to keep things fresh and interesting/varied in terms of game play

I look forward to the reveal of the finalized HoW content

[silversnake]

It's fine if the raid is not ready and they still want to release HOW, but they NEED to release this new raid before Comet. 2 raids in a full year is simply not enough.

Whilst I'm personally not too bothered by the absence of a raid I can understand why some are.

I got burnt out on Crota, I think I only finished two or three hard runs on that and just gave up since there was nothing I wanted from beating him on Hard save for the exotic drop.

The real killer is the lack of match making. Constantly having to go online to find 4 other players who won't rage quit after 2 tries was extremely frustrating.

So for me I'm glad I won't have to go through that this time.

After matchmaking a 3rd person on weeklies a few times, I'm glad there's no matchmaking for raids.

Forced Match Making no, but the option for those of us who can't run with the same 5 people week after week would be more than welcome. You have a better chance at doing a raid with 5 randoms than just yourself.

It's a jungle out there. Destinylfg works well and you can kick people if they idle/suck/annoy you. You're stuck in matchmaking.

That makes 3. If we can't fill it up I may try to find some Crota raids, I'd still like the Scout Rifle & Pistol Drops, plus a chest piece.

Destiny lfg was where we were getting a lot out trouble. There's only me and one other mate that play/ed regularly.

It used to take us up to. 30 minutes to find a group of 4. Used to get a lot out people just hoping in to get checkpoints and what not and leaving.

I think we just had 1 too many bad experiences trying to set games up and we got fed up.

Looking forward to getting back in to PvP though with the trials.

Fantastic update.

Does the patch happen outside the game, or the usual launch the game and then get prompted for the large update?

There was also an AMA

Take the AMA with a grain of salt as the poster was never verified and Deej came out and said he was trolling.
