There is a new cutscene when you travel to the Dreaming City (Destiny)

And it straight up spoils what the end boss of the raid looks like. I was trying to save that until I got to the boss.

Fucking bullshit.

Interesting. I see this as a huge step toward what Destiny always should have been. Remember the promise of a living, changing world? We're finally getting a little of that. Events elsewhere are affecting the entire Destiny population and are advancing the story.

To you, that's "fucking bullshit." To me? It is objectively better. And well worth the price seeing a hand-drawn, non-mechanic-spoiling depiction of a Raid boss that I was only going to not know about once in all the times I run this Raid.

Overall, I think I agree with you. I certainly agree in terms of my own preferences. I don't think spoilers matter much in the big picture, and I'd much rather have the raids integrated into the story progression. If that means the appearance of certain characters gets "spoiled", that's a price I'm more than willing to pay.

But I know that there are a lot of folks here (masochists ;p) for whom a blind raid is the pinnacle Destiny experience for them, and staying completely unspoiled is key to that. So I sympathize for them.

I consider myself in this category. I would prefer that most visuals from the raids be a surprise, but I don't mind so much a little spoilage regarding the what instead of the how. I mean, did we have any doubt that we would probably be fighting Oryx in some form for King's Fall?

I was thinking about this too. I think the main difference is that the Raid Boss Riven is very much a mystery if you haven’t gotten and read the Lore. I’m fine with this new direction, but my one critique would be that they needed to set up the boss a “little” diffently/more.
