New Raid Modes (standard, feats, and epic)

I think it’s a great idea to make a raid harder than its OG version (aka the epic version) but now how are NEW player to the raid and the game supposed to find people to help teach them if they are all on the new harder version? Or with feats. Why would a player who has high tiers come back down for basic tier levels just to teach someone (people)? It doesn’t make sense to even if that’s your friend. Like go grind on your own. 😂

  • Ideally, make normal raid loot not worthless. Then people would want to do the base raids. Realistically, learn the raid the way everyone else did, either trying it out with a new team or watching a guide.

    I mean they had this down perfectly and changed it for no reason. Normal/Hard in D1. Normal/Master in D2. No one asked for any of what we have now. It’s very simple

      Solve this problem and raid loot Normal mode Raids: remove life tokens and wipe mechanics Normal mode should give casual new players the experience of a raid Loot *Rework old raid loot into new reissue giving them new elements and rolls Example"Fate bringer Stasis" *Add new weapons that includes ones that were left out and forgotten from D1. Example: "Praedyth's Timepiece" "Black Hammer" *Raid armor sets * Raid completions chest allows you to buy new tier and old craftable weapons with tokens. * Once a week you get a free weapon of your choice in the raid completions chest at no cost. "For more chances you must have raid tokens" Weapon tier Normal: T2-T3 low percent of T4 Hard: T4-T5 Epic: T5 holofoil "second origin Trait"

      • Bungie needs to STOP making the base versions of raids at the level of Desert Perpetual / Salvation's Edge. I say this as someone who enjoys running difficult content and who participates in contest mode. The mechanics getting progressively more complicated has decimated the LFG raiding community. If you don't have your own group, you are probably going to have a bad time trying to learn outside the first week of the raid being out. Go nuts on epic mode / hard mode. But the raid attached to the DLC should be Deep Stone Crypt levels of difficult IMO. It would make the activity more accessible and get more people into raiding.

        • The raids are designed for the best of the best lol, in particular desert perpetual. This raid is no joke on epic in particular the hydra. It’s demands perfection. It’s a very difficult raid and I think it would be alright if they tone down some things to make it a bit more accessible. Me for example I am a high skilled player and my teammates were all my level and higher, some of them with thousands of raids clears. It’s a very hard raid. To hard for casuals tbh, other raids are a lot more accessible and a lot more fun. Yeah the raid is a bit out of touch with the community but it is possible to do it… just have to be determined enough because it will take a while lol

            Raids should literally just be a normal mode and hard mode, no feat BS. Hard mode should just add an extra mechanic and some extra mobs to each encounter and nothing else. I think they also need to drop the tiering system entirely and go back to how it was with crafting patterns, the armor having set bonuses now would give a reason to grind multiple runs past the point of acquiring all patterns and even then with crafting you know that whoever you are helping is guaranteed to make progress to getting the gun they want.

          • Raids are for raiders. Those who want to learn can join a larger clan and learn, those like me who have tried raiding and decided it is NOT for me, are fine not raiding. No need to develop different levels for less skilled players, or the best players. The raid is what the raid is. You can or can't do the raid, nothing but a thing. It is end game PVE content and is NOT for everyone. Hard stuff for the best players, all good with that, easy stuff for the rest of us.

          • Epic Raid was only design so Aztecross, Matics and friends provide free advertising. Otherwise it makes no sense. For the feats system, it not a great idea, for the reason you explained.

            • It should be a bit harder. The hydra is absolutely insane on epic. Never had an encounter demented so much perfection. This is a portly designed road when it comes to getting casuals in it. You have to be good or you’re not getting it done.
