Fun Thread - Crota designer looks back on the raid (Destiny)

I’m with you. I never felt like I was letting someone else do the work if I wasn’t running Sword and just shooting a rocket instead. Or if I wasn’t running Relic on VoG.

I also strongly disagree about the Oversoul. Making it happen at the end of every DPS phase felt like adding a mechanic just to add it. It’s not like it’s challenging, but I thought it was a neat recovery mechanic to save a run.

I’m totally okay with the more involved designs they’ve been doing since King’s Fall where every player must understand what’s happening for every role, but I hope to see a return of a more classic style “fun-first” raid like VoG or Crota. I miss doing those raids every week and it just feeling like a cool hangout. There’s so many necessary callouts in the modern raids that that sort of session is impossible. Once I beat Riven, I fully expect to just never do it again. It is literally the least fun encounter I’ve ever done in Destiny.
