I don't like hard stuff. I like my games to be fun, not 6 hour odysseys of figuratively slamming my head against a wall only to figure out we missed a fundamental step, then slowly learning to hate my raid partners for no fault of their own, particularly when I like all of them. Screw that. I'm going to wait to do this raid until later when everyone knows how it works.

It's hard because you don't know the best strategies, and you have shit gear. Remember when I said on here after doing Vault of Glass for the first time it was ultra hardcore and only a minority would finish? That flawless raider was impossible? Look how that turned out. Vault felt this hard from the get go as well, but we all know that once things are figured out and you have the perfect gear and strategy for each encounter it goes much more smoothly.

It's only a matter of time before DBO people are running it weekly in under 90 minutes. But that's just the nature of shared knowledge. If that's when you want to start, that's fine. I myself enjoyed figuring it all out, because some of it is crazy tough. I still don't exactly know how we pieced together how to do Oryx's Daughters. The lows of being stumped are more than made up for by the highs of success.
