- Pain. Some of these encounters feel like running into a brick wall over and over again. As for going in blind, it was fun to have those eureka moments, realizing how an object works or figuring out why you're all dying. At the same time, I hope that we learn new strategies from the community for these encounters because running this Raid weekly isn't going to be anything like the cakewalk the Vault of Glass is.

Eventually, I think it will. Knowing now what we know is going to make it way easier. For example, we obviously didn't know at first that every time you killed a sword bearer, it spawned a gatekeeper. Everybody was running around avoiding all these gatekeepers because we'd kill a sword bearer, and not make it across because we didn't time it well. Now we know, you should make sure only to kill the sword bearer if you go across, and be sure to kill the gatekeeper.

It's very interesting how the bridge encounter really does train you for Crota in terms of communication and timing. It's almost like they had someone who knew what he was doing working on designing the raid…
