Alright I took a break a bit after this video came out, but I wanted to say thanks for all the nice comments on this one, it was the fastest we have ever turned around a Raid video and it’s the longest one we have! 1. Yes Riven is a new enemy and that totally slipped my mind, I guess I more meant not related to anything we had ever heard of! 2. I know there is a weird repeat edit around the 45 min mark, my fault won’t happen again! 3. Some of you guys said that playing this at 1.25x speed was better, I will work on getting these videos a little bit shorter! 4. Gsupps free samples being FREE FREE is still on so just use code “300k” for them
What's ur Clan name ? I'm new to destiny 2 haven't done any raids coz i'm Maidenless lol.. i'd be amazing to raid in this game. I didn't know destiny 2 was actually this much fun after a lot of reviews i bought Dlcs and now I feel this what i wanted from Multiplayer Mass effect type of co-op
@@SpadeApeiron you dont exactly need to have a clan, there is a destiny 2 lfg server for finding raid groups the general lfg typically want you to know how to do mechanics but i think there is a sherpa one somewhere in that server for new raiders to have experienced guide help them
I really like this raid, I like how they finally make a new enemy boss type instead of your usual boss strike but with a shield that needs to be mechanically taken down to actually damage them, hopefully I can actually get the chance to complete it sooner or later
@@Sunra5 hey congrats dude, its nice to see that you can spend 4 hours on it and still come out saying it was fun. that's the sign of it being a well crafted raid
I love the prophecy, and how it was revealed bit by bit by different teams completing the raid. Even though it has no significance other than lore, it helps make it feel like the community together is uncovering a mystery, and lots of people can play a part in it. Love stuff like that.
7:46 THAT WAS SAVATHUN (aka Debra Wilson) holy shit Evan you have already outdone yourself. That legit gave me chills when she said o guardian mine wtfffff
I paused RIGHT before the “Guardians Mine,” read this, thought “nah, it’s cool, but CHILLS? That’s a bit of an exaggeration.” I would like to apologize for thinking that, because I INSTANTLY got chills when I hit play and heard that.
I like how the new boss isn’t like athion or Taniks where they slowly walk around while you do stuff with only killing you with wipes vs rhulk where he flys around and beats the hell out of you like kicking you or beating you with a staff or blasting your shit with a goddamn laser beam
Guardians: *rapidly charging towards Rhulk to Clown on him* Rhulk: oh, you're approaching me? *menacingly approaches to actually fight us* Guardians: *Confused panicked screaming followed by wiping*
Did he somehow force the editor/s work for 4 bucks? Or did the editor/s agree to work for 4 bucks? Its scummy to pay that little yes but if they agreed to it its no exploitation.. just scummy as fuck..
@@supersonicstrat- Well, from what I've read, Evan lied & gaslit many of them, telling them that what they were being paid was the industry standard rate. 😒 Which it absolutely the f*ck isn't. Sounds like some folks DID get exploited. And you can tell who normally defends that type of sh*t all up & down these comments. lol The type of folks that generally look up to Billionaires, and are used to defending their sh*tty corporate practices. Of course ya'll don't care that Evan underpaid people. A LOT of you think that behavior is normal anyway.
I missed the start but I sat with your group the whole day. You guys did amazing, and deserved the W. Worlds 1st or not, everyone that day put in effort to be proud of, and you guys did an amazing job. Keep making great content like this.
It didn't make the cut but on Evan's stream during one of the Rhulk wipes it fired everyone hundreds of feet away from the arena and it was a beautiful moment.
@HydraCorex Bruh, the final blooper is from a Japanese streamer. Chinese characters aren't written like that. What is shown on the screen is Japanese script. Edit: Listen to what the person is saying. That does not sound like Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese). That is Japanese.
It was a great video! Hopefully the editors and him agreed on a price prior and communicated that price! Don't agree to 4$ if you want more money - and if you do agree to 4$ but change your mind, say something.
My absolute favorite part about doing this raid Day One was when my friends and I got to Acquistion and began scoping out the area and giving names to each of the symbols. When one of my friends and I got to the room with the "Grieve" symbol above it, we both said "Depression" in unison, utterly confusing the rest of our clan until they came over, looked at the symbol, and went "Damn that's actually a really fitting name." Depression has now replaced Grieve whenever we do Vow of the Disciple.
The pyramid fleet is lead by one massive pyramid ship far larger than the rest of them. I think its safe to assume that the Darkness flagship will be the patrol area for Lightfall or Final Shape
This day one raid race was insane and I think that it is amazing that Worlds first came back after all of that. Really glad that my first Day One experience was in this raid.
For the first encounter, my team thought it was “two truths and a lie” like how savathun had mentioned a few times in the campaign. We would consistently get rooms that correlated with our theory…until we didnt😭
This was my first day 1 experience, and oh MAN was it fun. We got error-coded at the start, but dusted ourselves off and managed to finish up to Exhibition before the 24 hours were up. While we might not have gotten the clear, it really brought my fireteam/clan together in a really awesome way
Bummer that you didn’t have the time for the completion because of error codes among all things but you managed to achieve what many of the playerbase have forgotten about…having fun. Also, why were you and your team so dusty? You live in a desert or a haunted house or something?

Im glad to see a real boss in destiny. It’s the first big boss which isn’t waiting to get killed during a dmg phase. He strikes back and is still a tread to the players. For somebody who played wow and raided mythic, it’s always a joke when somebody tells me how hard a raid or boss in destiny is. I enjoy the style of destiny raid bosses. I think it’s one of the best ways to design a boss in a shooter. Bungie should keep going on to design bosses like rhulk.
I love how we get Rhulk's glave as a drop, it reminds me of the point Evan made in the strike exclusive loot about getting a piece of the boss with the 'Bob' example from that video

EvanF1997: Rhulk is the first enemy we seen outside of vanilla destiny that isn’t associated with any of the alien factions Riven: Am I a joke to you? 😂
@@harrisonyoung3857 in the same way Rhulk is associated with the taken and darkness ECT. Edit: dude was also connected to the hive and worms. And then the scorn/worm experiments so fallen as well. Riven was just as unique and outside of those races.
rhulk is my new favorite raid boss not just because he hits the raid team with a chun li combo but also because of his narration about his history in the story mission after the raid.
I remember doing this raid day 1 with my clan and on my lord the server issues were rough as hell! About 9 hours of the 48 hours we had total were spent getting ant-eatered while the rest was dealing with the Caretaker! Unfortunately we didn't get past the relic encounters on those two days but we were still proud of how far we got since half of us were new to day 1's. Amazing raid but horrible buggy issues with the servers
It is always odd to me when I hear people say that warlocks have a hard time on jump puzzles. I'm a warlock main and I am almost always the one ahead in any jumping puzzles.
Those that say are usually not using strafe jump or top tree dawn for jumping puzzles. All classes can easily do puzzles, stompees + triple jump for hunter, lion rampart + strafe lift for titan, top tree dawn for warlock
I love this style of video essay Evan! Please know that there’s a lot of people that appreciate the long video style because it gives us a nice Momento acknowledging the very important event that is this raid. I know you said you’re aiming to shorten the length of videos, but do you know that there are people, like myself, that actually do enjoy every last minute of a longer video like this. :) thanks for the hard work and the epic breakdown of the raid.
While I couldn't do day 1, I came in a few days after and ran it with an LFG (I have no friends) and it was probably one of my favorite experiences I've ever had in the game, It took me like 9 hours and 4 team members leaving but I got it done. One of my proudest achievements. cant wait for the raid jacket to arrive. :D
Idea- make contest mode last the weekend. People can still get hyped up about raid race and all that, but for day 1 people even if you have a strategy it might take a while to get it to work
Your idea has come to reality mate. The new raid will have 2 days of contest, with an emblem for the 24hr clearance and then for the 48hr clearance as well. Definitely a great change 👍🏻
Our team actually figured out the acquisition encounter 30 minutes after the raid dropped, but we got anteatered so many times we spent 6 hours on it :(
we figured out first in like 40-50 min but spent like 4 hours cuz everytime we got to last phase we got coded, and caretaker was figured out hella fast but the dmg check was too much
This raid was my first Day 1 that I ever attempted, and I was frustrated since my team was stuck at Acquisition for more than 5 hours. The team was very disorganized and stubborn, but I eventually left and joined another team, and we were able to complete the raid. Despite the frustrations, I am very pleased with completing the raid, and am already prepping for the next race. We all need to start somewhere, amiright?
I was originally upset about the extension, but learning more about all the soft locks makes me realize how much time it really cost teams. Thanks evan for the great video!
LFG for this raid has been a very enjoyable experience for me. The only downside I’ve seen is people who have a bad time jumping from platform to platform with the relic in their hand
I know vow day one was terrible from both watching and playing but it’s by far the most replay able it’s easy to understand without being boring and the same experience every time like garden of salvation overall I give it a 10 better than last wish as far as after contest goes
Have been waiting for this video, this was my first ever worlds 1st/day 1 attempt in a raid (I may have done kings fall but that was sooo long ago) none the less I loved every moment of attempting a day 1 and look forward to the new raids and returning ones for day 1 attempts
Day one; Acquisition was insane for my team. We had only run it about 3 times and had figured out what we had to do in the encounter. We were about equal with all the streamers we were watching while playing and realized that we were ahead when we had it all figured out. We had a clean run, about one or two deaths and halfway through the third round we got Ant Eater. It was heartbreaking, feeling like we would be the first to Care Taker at least and gain a lead just to be hit by error code after error code for 5 hours. At that point, we took a break and came back 2 hours later to finally be able to get through and at least try Caretaker.
Most streamer teams beat Caretaker with cheeses anyway (example x2 raid flags) or bugs (Caretaker would be stunned for a whole lot of time). The Outbreak Perfected strat was a very good strategy though, most teams use it in normal Vow as a switch backup.
Our team was big sad, we beat Math Class (not certain about other teams) to damage phase and final stand on Rhulk but failed on damage. Took 4 times at final stand to get it done and by that point we ended 35th place. So close but so far.
Did your team have much issues with error codes/stability/etc. during the run? Only curious, the fact of if you did or didn’t or somewhere in between doesn’t invalidate any of your talent or achievement (just to be clear).
43:00 Rhulk is associated with Savathun and Hive worm Gods, he's a new race but not "the first new enemy" by your logic. Riven was a wish dragon and just as new as Rhulk using your reasoning.
I remember raid racing this, we were world first for a while (Lucent Spears an AUS team) but we got so stuck on the care taker purely from the damage check. We took so long cause the buginess and remember that this is probably if we didnt finish the contest mode
For Aquisition my team thought that each totem got one of the three symbols and you had to find each one and shoot it in the order they were revealed by the chieftains.
we had it figured out until entering symbols, instead of entering symbols we thought we had to reveal 3 symbols on the left/right of room and enter it like a combination lock. never even thought of just entering all 3 teams until like 20 min later
I love this raid so much. I try to savor every run I do as I know there will be a time where it will be forgotten or it may no longer exist. One of my biggest regrets about Leviathan. I truly hope that I can teach people this raid for years to come
regarding caretaker; my day one team spent about 6 or 7 hours trying to beat the anteater boss between the opening escort mission and the first encounter with the obelisks. frustrations were high by that point. then we took an hour break and came back and immediately cleared obelisk. fast forward to caretaker, we finally get the kill and get soft locked. we had to rekill the boss and we actually got loot, idk if it's because we had went to orbit and changed leader that we were able to get it, but we broke for the night before third encounter. we lost a member for day 2 because tensions were so high from all the network and raid issues, and our replacement hadn't cleared caretaker the previous day. so by the time the "24 hour" window was over, we had gotten Rhulk to maybe 15% on our best attempt, but we had 3 caretaker kills and I had to settle with being happy with that. apart from the connection issues, which yea are annoying but are the price of success in MMOs and WQ has been generally speaking a big success for Bungie, the raid was a great experience. i know it's only week 3 of the raid but i haven't gotten bored of running it yet.
My clan still has these call outs. Kill = spike, remember = brain, worship = father, pyramid=chip, fleet = bowl of chips, entrance = tear drop, and grieve = holy man
I did VotD with an lfg where we all were doing it for the first time and we got all the way to the last room in the third encounter where everyone had to get off.
Boat, Bestower of Anteaters Obelisks, Consumers of Time Caretaker, Devourer of Morale Relics, Brain Assimilater Rhulk, Internets-bane THESE are the better name for the boss/encounters
encounters of vow are disciples bog acquisition caretaker exhibition rhulk 4th encounter exhibition is the hardest encounter 1st encounter disciples bog is the easiest
Hopefully one day I can attempt this amazing looking raid. Ive done every single raid late in the days but by gosh does it feel amazing to complete them all
Personally, I think the day one of the raid could’ve definitely been one to rival last wish day one although not as long. With the issues of it, it definitely falls off for the day 1 experience but as a raid it’s definitely on the high end, top three for me honestly
One of my favourite clutches was in the third encounter after the jumping puzzle, where the aegis fell off the map and i ran all the way back to the room it spawns and back to the final bank with 2 seconds left before a wipe
@@ti_ortega5jr569 Imagine that you put your all, your passion, sweat, tears, etc into a project. Then as compensation, you get a slap to the face and a nickel. That’s essentially what Evan did to his editors for working on his videos
First off, I’ll watch this video when I have time lol. But second, yeah I felt like it was a good thing to extend it. People are acting like if it wasn’t extended it would only be 892 teams. Had it not been extended; it would easily be in the thousands of teams cleared because people like myself got off the game because we heard you can get in 48. Personal opinion on that
As a pvp main with 6,000 hrs playing PvP and 500 doing pve activities you made this very engaging and I actually watched until the very end GGs to you and your editors! 💯💜
The only thing i hate about this raid is that it left me (and my entire team) with some really bad memories because of the error codes and all the bugs in the raid. I dont really care that much about it but every time i think about what happend i get a little bit dissapointed. The raid itself is amazing dont get me wrong yall
As being a player who's constantly changing clans, for one reason or another, i can only give Day 1 racers my deepest respect, takking on such chalanges.
I’m not a raider, but I remember getting back from work and seeing folks were streaming, so figured I’d give it a watch. I can’t remember which teams I was watching, but I ended up having my Xbox, iPad, and my phone going watching the 3 leaders.

Why would anyone even agree to work for that little? I mean its scmy as fuck from evans part amd I have 0 respect for him anymore but did he force the editors to work for that little or did they agree to it? If you agree to a shitty deal, its on you, personal resposibility and such..
Absolutely amazing video! I love having hour long videos rather than a series of smaller videos! It really shows the time and effort put into it!
Aside from the technical issues as my first day one I absolutely loved it. Genuinely an amazing experience. Still trying for that exotic pulse too.
remember guys, this edit needs to be done quick and don’t worry i’ll be sure to pay you $4!
Yeah hes apparently a slave driver
The editors literally fucking agreed on $4. This is on them.

EvanF1997: Rhulk is the first enemy we seen outside of vanilla destiny that isn’t associated with any of the alien factions
Riven: Am I a joke to you? 😂
Riven is a taken-related ahamkara
And if we’re talking about association she is also associated with the hive and the awoken, as well as the taken
@@harrisonyoung3857 in the same way Rhulk is associated with the taken and darkness ECT.
Edit: dude was also connected to the hive and worms. And then the scorn/worm experiments so fallen as well.
Riven was just as unique and outside of those races.
Riven was taken
Well with the approximate 100 different ways to cheese Riven you could say she is a joke honestly.
rhulk is my new favorite raid boss not just because he hits the raid team with a chun li combo but also because of his narration about his history in the story mission after the raid.
Only 30 minutes into the video and it's been straight HEAT thus far
Not like I was expecting anything different though 🔥
They should add an encounter where you pay your editor a living wage, that’ll be pretty challenging for you I reckon

They should add an encounter where the editors don't fucking agree on the $4/hour deal in the first place.
I remember doing this raid day 1 with my clan and on my lord the server issues were rough as hell! About 9 hours of the 48 hours we had total were spent getting ant-eatered while the rest was dealing with the Caretaker! Unfortunately we didn't get past the relic encounters on those two days but we were still proud of how far we got since half of us were new to day 1's. Amazing raid but horrible buggy issues with the servers
no editors?😢
It is always odd to me when I hear people say that warlocks have a hard time on jump puzzles. I'm a warlock main and I am almost always the one ahead in any jumping puzzles.
Those that say are usually not using strafe jump or top tree dawn for jumping puzzles. All classes can easily do puzzles, stompees + triple jump for hunter, lion rampart + strafe lift for titan, top tree dawn for warlock
I love how exhibition forces everyone to use a relic at least once. No where to hide from the mechanics
I can't look at these videos' the same no more.
Why
@@pieman930 apparently there were payment issues with the rditors
I love this style of video essay Evan! Please know that there’s a lot of people that appreciate the long video style because it gives us a nice Momento acknowledging the very important event that is this raid. I know you said you’re aiming to shorten the length of videos, but do you know that there are people, like myself, that actually do enjoy every last minute of a longer video like this. :) thanks for the hard work and the epic breakdown of the raid.
Evan whenever something new gets added to Destiny:
"This was the most ____ we've ever seen!"
While I couldn't do day 1, I came in a few days after and ran it with an LFG (I have no friends) and it was probably one of my favorite experiences I've ever had in the game, It took me like 9 hours and 4 team members leaving but I got it done. One of my proudest achievements. cant wait for the raid jacket to arrive. :D
Another great video. Want to say thanks again for the interview and the research/detail you put into these videos. Fantastic.😄
Idea- make contest mode last the weekend. People can still get hyped up about raid race and all that, but for day 1 people even if you have a strategy it might take a while to get it to work
Your idea has come to reality mate. The new raid will have 2 days of contest, with an emblem for the 24hr clearance and then for the 48hr clearance as well. Definitely a great change 👍🏻
Love your vids mate. Appreciate the time it takes for you and your team to put this together.
Our team actually figured out the acquisition encounter 30 minutes after the raid dropped, but we got anteatered so many times we spent 6 hours on it :(
My team got stuck on caretaker, but we figured that shit out in literally 2 minutes
we figured out first in like 40-50 min but spent like 4 hours cuz everytime we got to last phase we got coded, and caretaker was figured out hella fast but the dmg check was too much
Pay and respect your god damn editors Evan
This raid was my first Day 1 that I ever attempted, and I was frustrated since my team was stuck at Acquisition for more than 5 hours. The team was very disorganized and stubborn, but I eventually left and joined another team, and we were able to complete the raid. Despite the frustrations, I am very pleased with completing the raid, and am already prepping for the next race. We all need to start somewhere, amiright?
great job! We got to caretaker and had to call it quits, so thats awesome yall got to complete it! Until next time :)
I remember getting kicked from my team because of error codes, before finishing the first encounter, which sucked
This was my first day one experience and it was wild. Me and my team made it to the boss on contest but unfortunately we weren't able to beat Rhulk
I love how after saying "someone much smarter than myself"... you inserted BYF into the end to explain who/what Rhulk is 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I was originally upset about the extension, but learning more about all the soft locks makes me realize how much time it really cost teams. Thanks evan for the great video!
LFG for this raid has been a very enjoyable experience for me. The only downside I’ve seen is people who have a bad time jumping from platform to platform with the relic in their hand
No One:
Absolutely No One:
EvanF: "SNAKE, BOWL, SAVATHUN, JESUS!"
I know vow day one was terrible from both watching and playing but it’s by far the most replay able it’s easy to understand without being boring and the same experience every time like garden of salvation overall I give it a 10 better than last wish as far as after contest goes
100% agree with that
Eh after 10 clears it's abit boring now. At least rhulks music is still great
Idk about better than last wish but yeah this raid is good, definitely top 4
I agree!! I think is the most replayable raid in D2. Unlike VOG that takes me straight in depression for how boring it is…
I agree with replayability, additionally, the unique raid aesthetic is always amazing but VotD is up there with GoS (the best aesthetic in a raid imo)
15:08 they're scorn that were experimented on, Rhulk was trying to give worms to the Scorn... the Caretaker is his only successful worm host.
Have been waiting for this video, this was my first ever worlds 1st/day 1 attempt in a raid (I may have done kings fall but that was sooo long ago) none the less I loved every moment of attempting a day 1 and look forward to the new raids and returning ones for day 1 attempts
1:12:20
Guardian: there's hope I'm not dead
Rhulk: hmm ill walk around and
*eye contact*
*rhulk whispers: this is the part where I kick you*
Day one; Acquisition was insane for my team. We had only run it about 3 times and had figured out what we had to do in the encounter. We were about equal with all the streamers we were watching while playing and realized that we were ahead when we had it all figured out. We had a clean run, about one or two deaths and halfway through the third round we got Ant Eater. It was heartbreaking, feeling like we would be the first to Care Taker at least and gain a lead just to be hit by error code after error code for 5 hours. At that point, we took a break and came back 2 hours later to finally be able to get through and at least try Caretaker.
Most streamer teams beat Caretaker with cheeses anyway (example x2 raid flags) or bugs (Caretaker would be stunned for a whole lot of time). The Outbreak Perfected strat was a very good strategy though, most teams use it in normal Vow as a switch backup.
Our team was big sad, we beat Math Class (not certain about other teams) to damage phase and final stand on Rhulk but failed on damage. Took 4 times at final stand to get it done and by that point we ended 35th place. So close but so far.
Still though well done! Top 100 is a huge achievement but top 40? Says a lot about your team so good job.
@@itsinstinct_6756 :' )
Did your team have much issues with error codes/stability/etc. during the run?
Only curious, the fact of if you did or didn’t or somewhere in between doesn’t invalidate any of your talent or achievement (just to be clear).
@@hansmatheson5976 Yeah but I think it was around 30m- 1h, not multiple hours like some teams.
15:10 actually those are scorn with worms on them, so they aren’t aliens we haven’t seen before.
43:00 Rhulk is associated with Savathun and Hive worm Gods, he's a new race but not "the first new enemy" by your logic.
Riven was a wish dragon and just as new as Rhulk using your reasoning.
I remember raid racing this, we were world first for a while (Lucent Spears an AUS team) but we got so stuck on the care taker purely from the damage check. We took so long cause the buginess and remember that this is probably if we didnt finish the contest mode
For Aquisition my team thought that each totem got one of the three symbols and you had to find each one and shoot it in the order they were revealed by the chieftains.
we had it figured out until entering symbols, instead of entering symbols we thought we had to reveal 3 symbols on the left/right of room and enter it like a combination lock. never even thought of just entering all 3 teams until like 20 min later
I love this raid so much. I try to savor every run I do as I know there will be a time where it will be forgotten or it may no longer exist. One of my biggest regrets about Leviathan. I truly hope that I can teach people this raid for years to come
It should no longer exist, fuck this raid
Evan: Rhulk was the first boss that wasn’t associated with fallen, hive, vex, or cabal ever.
Riven: Am I a joke to you?
Real talk lol, first and last Ahamkara we will ever see (fuck you Ahamkara Illusion you’re not real)
Well, Rhulk is the first Darkness like Boss, While Riven is the first Monster boss.
rivin is associated with hive taken and awoken
6:09 that right there deserved a like
My callouts day one in that order, were: Red Hands, Savathun, Rays, Heart, Witness, Cup, Tower, Grief, Pyramid, ICE CREAM, Triangles, Guardian, Square, Brain, Traveler, Forsaken, blank, Dark, Light, Umbrellas, Pain, Worm, Hive, Worship, Mountain, Flower, Earth
regarding caretaker; my day one team spent about 6 or 7 hours trying to beat the anteater boss between the opening escort mission and the first encounter with the obelisks. frustrations were high by that point. then we took an hour break and came back and immediately cleared obelisk. fast forward to caretaker, we finally get the kill and get soft locked. we had to rekill the boss and we actually got loot, idk if it's because we had went to orbit and changed leader that we were able to get it, but we broke for the night before third encounter. we lost a member for day 2 because tensions were so high from all the network and raid issues, and our replacement hadn't cleared caretaker the previous day. so by the time the "24 hour" window was over, we had gotten Rhulk to maybe 15% on our best attempt, but we had 3 caretaker kills and I had to settle with being happy with that. apart from the connection issues, which yea are annoying but are the price of success in MMOs and WQ has been generally speaking a big success for Bungie, the raid was a great experience. i know it's only week 3 of the raid but i haven't gotten bored of running it yet.

Hopefully one day I can attempt this amazing looking raid. Ive done every single raid late in the days but by gosh does it feel amazing to complete them all
$4 doesn't even buy a gallon of gas where I'm at. What's your editor supposed to do with it?
This is like watching a documentary. Its awesome! Never stop making these.
Personally, I think the day one of the raid could’ve definitely been one to rival last wish day one although not as long. With the issues of it, it definitely falls off for the day 1 experience but as a raid it’s definitely on the high end, top three for me honestly
I love how you Evan just sits there with no hud while his team sweats to complete the encounter

Hey dude, cool video, for your next one you should do a video where you don't treat your editors like subhuman trash.

What happened?
ok and?
@@ti_ortega5jr569 Imagine that you put your all, your passion, sweat, tears, etc into a project. Then as compensation, you get a slap to the face and a nickel. That’s essentially what Evan did to his editors for working on his videos
You mean the editors that agreed to that amount of money?
Spicy intro my guy. Long been a fan, and these raid videos just keep getting better. You can see the effort, keep it up.
First off, I’ll watch this video when I have time lol. But second, yeah I felt like it was a good thing to extend it. People are acting like if it wasn’t extended it would only be 892 teams. Had it not been extended; it would easily be in the thousands of teams cleared because people like myself got off the game because we heard you can get in 48. Personal opinion on that
Are you the same GL abuser in lighthouse daddies?
@@SevensCOD I am
it also prevented many casual teams from being able to play the raid due to the extended contest mode, it was an awful decision.
@@thomasw7908 they have next week and the remaining 3 years of destiny 2 to play it. Day one players have one chance to earn the emblem.
As a pvp main with 6,000 hrs playing PvP and 500 doing pve activities you made this very engaging and I actually watched until the very end GGs to you and your editors! 💯💜
The only thing i hate about this raid is that it left me (and my entire team) with some really bad memories because of the error codes and all the bugs in the raid. I dont really care that much about it but every time i think about what happend i get a little bit dissapointed. The raid itself is amazing dont get me wrong yall
The way rhulk attacks with his arms crossed and stuff makes him look like a jojo character
As being a player who's constantly changing clans, for one reason or another, i can only give Day 1 racers my deepest respect, takking on such chalanges.
Havent played destiny in over a year and still wait for the annual vids!! Keep it up
gotta love creators who abuse their editors.
They literally fucking agreed to the $4 pay deal. If they wanted more money, maybe they should have asked.
I’m not a raider, but I remember getting back from work and seeing folks were streaming, so figured I’d give it a watch. I can’t remember which teams I was watching, but I ended up having my Xbox, iPad, and my phone going watching the 3 leaders.
