Diversity up the ying yang (Destiny)

Serious. I want to do one. Dream team assemble for one night only. Other than the 14th or the 17th. How about the 20th on the reset?

I just don't enjoy the raid or Destiny 2 enough to make that kind of commitment, unfortunately.

I very much miss raiding with you guys, but at this point I think I'd rather jump into D1 with everyone and play those raids. We never did try to do Wrath of the Machine flawless ;)

Huh, that's interesting to hear you say... I know others (perhaps myself included, I'm certainly open to the idea) have talked about going back to play some D1 because it interests them more than D2.

We should schedule another throwback raid, maybe once a month?

I’ve talked about this before, but D2’s weapon category breakdown (kinetic/energy/power) really is a fatal flaw for my long term enjoyment of the game. That plus the way the ability trees have been reduced to binary choices makes everything feel too same-y and repetitive for me. But with D1, I feel like I have a more diverse range of builds and loadouts on tap, so I can play the game in countless different ways depending on what I’m in the mood for.

You keep saying this, and I understand what you are saying. I can kinda understand this if you have one guardian. I've played the raid lair now with all three and 5 different classes, obviously with different loadouts. I guess you just need more variety than that?

I totally understand if you don't like the new weapon system and the ability trees. But to say you can't find diversity in how you play the raid... that seems hard to believe to me. I mean I have: Character X subclass X weapons X raid role = tons of diversity.

Every raid is different.
