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

After watching the race to World's first for Last Wish, I wrote up a big post that I wanted to discuss with everyone who was okay with spoilers about the encounters of LW, but never got around to finishing it. My big gripe is that LW feels SUPER uncreative, to the point where a lot of the encounters are just mixing and matching of other raid encounters. Actually, the last raid encounter I found to be not guilty of this was the Zamboni.

It's a shame, because Eater of Worlds had the best encounter in all of Destiny raids IMO (quantum mine defusal).

I am a little tired of the "boss in invincible, do a thing to make it vulnerable, burn, repeat". That is very old at this point, and there has to be some better way of handling it. Bungie did it with Skolas, so it's not impossible to design an encounter that isn't centered around burn windows.
