    This raid reminded me of the quote from Orin back in Season of the Drifter when she spoke about how we are different because we can "leave the game". Similarly, Elsie chose to stay in our timeline because our Guardian was somehow different in this timeline. I believe it is perfectly represented in the Verity encounter as the only way to win is to spectate other Guardians while dead; something the Witness could never have planned for. I absolutely love how breaking the 4th wall is our key to victory.

    I understand why they mute the comms, because thats the place everyone strategizes, but i dont think that its neccesary to block the entire screen, because you would need to watch all team member screens at the same time to understand the encounter and even then there will be a lot of chaos.

    • @guccixlubricant6466
      @guccixlubricant6466 5 місяців тому +13

      I think its because most of these teams have a "coach" that watches the other streams and informs them on what the other teams are trying and what fails or succeeds. So they black out the stream to prevent this. That's my guess. I'm not saying I like it kinda pointless to stream a raid when 90% of the time you aren't seeing the raid itself.

      no you wouldnt have to watch the entire team, less than a minute after ATP unblocked their screen on witness fight, another team was already watching and calling out every single thing they did, everything they tried, everything they got wrong and everything they got right. literally less than 60 seconds before another top teams streamer was stream sniping live and calling out strats. stream sniping is bannable on twitch btw lol. just 1 person watching 1 other persons stream gained them a massive advantage as it gave them hours worth of ATPs legitimately learned info 1 5 minute attempt

      Sweat, Gladd & Leopard were 3 of them I watched that didn't mute comms. I think Kackis might have muted comms, but kept video going. Because Gladd didn't go black-screen, I subscribed to his channel.
      I didn't mind muted comms, because a lot of info is given verbally + text chat. I DO have a problem w/ signing up for a streaming event that makes you money for streaming... and you give viewers Blackout. They should have either not signed up for TR (like Parabellum did not), or ended their streams.

    About the muting comms and hiding screens: It makes sense why they do it and I support the fact that they're so competitive they want to get every little advantage they can get, however, if they're going to straight up full mute and completely hide the screen for hours, they might as well just not stream at all, heck, I think that might be more beneficial to them just because their PC doesn't have to handle the stream on top of the game and discord

      I get it, and partially agree, but part of me wants to believe that because Parabellum didn't have a public stream going; that allowed them to focus more on the Raid itself than stressing about giving away nuggets of information to competitors. That's not to discredit the skill of any of the teams, but I think when you don't have to worry about other teams ever knowing you're in the race, that you can focus more on what's important.

    With the Tom Brady at the Super Bowl example, no he wouldn't broadcast his huddle, or show the play book, but they still show the game itself. There's a difference in cutting voices and bluring buffs and just completely blacking out your screen or showing just your face. Why even bother streaming at that point? Well, I know, money is why. Bungie themselves hyped up the day 1 as a community viewing experience, then most teams involved completely blacked out their entire screen. And in the end, it didn't even really matter as the team that won wasn't streaming and got the info anyway despite all the blacked out screens.

    This raid was surely something else.
    When Raid launched, at 7pm CEST for me, my clanmates and i went in istantly. Yet, we spent 4 hours into the first encounter, yet we had no idea what we were doing. Around the 6 hours mark, i had to close for the next morning i had to work, so i closed at 1 am, went to sleep, woke up at 6 am for i had a shift at 7 am.
    My clanmates closed alongside me, for they still had no idea what to do and had to close as well.
    Morning went by, yet i was still following the raid race, in fact at 10 am i opened twitch, and saw how people were still racing (thanks for the Raid Zone event btw, Evan!). At 1 pm, i finished my shift, went home, booted up my pc, tuned up on Raid Zone while making lunch.. I was so focused on watching the race (people reached the Witness, but we couldnt see stuff since most of the players started covering their screen), yet it was a moment so tense, i even cutted myself while cooking.
    The idea that it took longer than Last Wish, that only one team beat it under the 24 hours mark, the Excision activity... This raid is peak Destiny.

    im on the side of the muted coms and blacked out streams just really sucked. it was exciting at the beginning watching teams go through the encounters and talk to their teams but once that happened why stream anymore? if you really don't want people stream sniping your progress just dont stream, but its their job too and i get it. it just made it a terrible experience to watch for the last leg of it. but the idea that its a privilege they even streamed in the first place is a crazy message to send to your audience, esp the people that sub to them.

      For some it ain't even their real job, it's just extra money since most competitive players in destiny don't have a viewerbase large enough to sustain themselves. Now, if you win and do something with it then you become as large as Gladd or Sweat are now after they won LW, if not, then you become like salt who didn't go that route. No shade at salt but this is just how it ended up working out.

    You mentioned wanting selectable difficulties for raids and bringing back contest mode as an option. I’ve talked about this with my clan members for a long time, and some of the ideas we have cooked up include the following. 1) (highly unlikely) alternate contest emblem. You give an emblem that is similar to the contest emblem (like colored variant) or just an entirely new emblem (bungie can cook emblems up, see pantheon) to push some people to go get it, with a triumph being added for each raid. 2) artifice raid armor with bad roll protection, meaning members can select a stat focus for the raid and the game will guarantee 62-ish + armor on any armor drop. 3) raid weapons will be fully enhanced adept weapons with randomly dropped perks. If the perks are bad, it will drop good masterwork mats and if it is good, it’s a keepable weapon. 4) lastly, each encounter clear drops a bunch of materials (once per week or something to prevent farming easier encounters) like 2-4 ascendent alloys or shards plus some other drops along the same line.

    Funny how you shared a clip of the Archimonde fight in regards to mechanics v. execution of raids. I was a Mythic raider in late WoD/early Legion, and I remember that fight kickin' my team's arse.
    I always thought it was weird/lame how when we did a new raid in WoW, the mechanics were already -known-, and we just had to learn when and where to stand while maintaining a near perfect rotation of our class abilities. Going from that playstyle to the Destiny raid scene was total whiplash, to be sure. I think I prefer Destiny raiding for that reason, as it feels much more rewarding to problem solve then to forced to be perfect, even if you only get that dopamine on the first clear, it's long-lasting. Hell, I still get goosebumps reflecting to my team clearing Rhulk at the 22h mark.
    That said, this raid was a wonderful combination of problem solving and execution, something we've only really seen in Destiny once before (being LW obviously), mad props to the teams that cleared it.

    4th encounter can be simplified even further for inside too, you just hand everyone their original shape, then from left to right they hand out their shapes to the other 2 people, so if it was tcs, left side would have 2 triangles after everyone hands the statues their symbols. Then after everyone has their own shapes, you triangle would hand it to middle and right, then middle and right side would hand everyone else their statues shape(to avoid overloading the right side with shapes, there is a 3 shape limit). then you just grab your shapes and exit.

      Those who valued their community over their "advantage" are the best.
      In MY perfect world, all the world's first teams would have to figure the raid out between themselves and wouldn't have to worry about other teams stream sniping info for an advantage, but I know this is too much to expect, so good on those who didn't let it bother them.

So we also made a new team with the few we had, went in and did the 1. Encounter. We were all pretty tired after 4 hours, so we went to sleep, cleared the 1st Encounter after 1 hour and then got to the second. There we tried, but then gave up because we didn't want to alter too much of iur fun with our builds in order to survive. Meanwhile the other team didn't even made it past the 1st encounter and gave up the same evening. I see this as an absolute win
    We never looked at guides btw. I am really proud of us as we even had a few that just started in Lightfall

All it takes is one person on another team to notice you do something different from them, put one part of a mechanic together and if they can execute it, well say bye to your lead or even 1st place.

      @sunlitstream2647 not at all. Bungie has tools to see who completes it. Streaming isn't necessary at all and hiding screens is pointless if you're a streamer.

    The fact that the herald of finality looks like Taniks is just wholesome, ya people give shot to dsc for his include ment (hell I’m one of those people) but having him be here in a spiritual sense is just fun, goes to show what this raid is to the game
