I thought people might be interested in how long the raid has taken us, and how long it took us last night.

Week 1: We cleared one encounter per night for the first two nights, and then failed hard at the third encounter for two days before finally beating it. The final boss took us another 2 days and a very small pointer from a friend who had already done it, but other than that one clue we figured everything out for ourselves. There was also a fair amount of exploration done - this is a really fun raid to poke around in!

Week 2: Cleared the whole thing in 1 hour and 48 minutes.

Last night's run was by no means clean, and at one point we bugged out and had to fully return to orbit and come back in since the fight wouldn't respawn us after our wipe. 90 minute runs seem possible.

How can someone who is truly blind decide that they can write the official unofficial strategy guide for idiots after only 1 or 2 runs through the raid? (for the record I have not read the linked post, just noticed authors and find it interesting. Also have not read the remainder of this thread. I've become a careful clicker)

I'm still truly blind and I'm pretty sure that based on Destiny 1 Raids that after 1 or 2 runs I am not able to fully explain every aspect of the raid, each mechanic at work during gameplay, or each role necessary to beat the raid. (actually I'm not ever able to do that)
(not looking for a brow beating where you bring up your work history or professional credentials, you've made your past abundantly clear in prior posts)

I'm genuinely curious here
Is the raid really that short and simplistic?
