Based on the language they used... my guess is that they called it a raid because it's not set on the Leviathan or the Dreaming City, therefore not a raid lair. Furthermore, it has the same number of encounters as Crota.

Destiny 2: Forsaken |OT2| How's your sister?

That's what I was thinking as well.
----------------------------------------
I should've added it was 2.5 hour first clear too which I thought was pretty good. Raid group on Friday fell apart, might have had a day one clear, oh well I guess.
That reminds me. One year and three months later, Destiny 2 now has more raid (content) than Destiny 1 had by two years. Yay!
I agree with you but isnt Guided Game essentially Raid/Nightfall matchmaking?
I've only finished the original Leviathan. Once! High five!
I don't feel like spending hours doing one activity, but if someone would carry me through it... *wink*
Bizarre to me how IGN can review and score Black Armory when its content isn't even fully released yet.
Yeah, super dumb from Destin. No other outlet is reviewing this because by its very nature, its not reviewable but in the last fireteam chat he was pissed off with black armory and I think he's using the IGN platform to complain tbh.
In the 4 days I've played this game since the update on Tuesday, here's my Exotic/Catalyst haul....
Fighting Lion catalyst
Worldline Zero catalyst
Oathkeeper
Shards of Galanor
Ursa Furiosa
Prospector
Borealis
Thunderlord
Queensbreaker
Wavesplitter
Two-Tailed Fox
I've never had such a run like this in a short space of time. Barring the Borealis and Prospector, everything else was new for me too.

Out of interest, how are you doing the final fight? I've been trying to get my groups to clear the adds and do damage from close up to the boss because I suspect that's the quickest and most consistent way to do the fight, but they want to hang back and do damage from spawn and basically ignore the adds (and those damned snipers), which means we have to three or four phase and wipe a lot. All the clears I've seen videos of recently are clearing the adds and doing it close, so I suspect it might be better.
1kv melts the solar shanks instantly, and the new nade launcher is VERY broken.
If you stack multiple it chains damage and you get literally stop the shields on enemies from coming back.
Do you think the recommended LL of 630 is correct or It's possible to do at lower LL? I'm like 612-ish.
Sorry if I missed something but what's the new nade launcher?
Yea, I think a lot of people are doing that at the moment. I just think that using all three tanks to clear adds (the rockets can clear any snipers still up) for a moment before stunning the boss and getting up close might be better though.
Can't remember the name, but it launches sticky nades that you can attach to teammates. Any nade within range of another creates a tether that causes damage to enemies; also I think it stuns targets in place for a second when causing damage. I had someone get it in one of my clears this week; seems pretty sweet!
At the time it was relevant, Crota was one of the hardest raids. You were permanently underleveled by design and it was incredibly buggy.
We do damage from the spawn. As soon as the boss "tags" you, we split up into a triangular formation:
Continuous
Angular ______________________________ Parallel
When you get "tagged" again, switch to where ever you need to go. This formation ensures no one is tethered and that you always have Phase Synergy for the damage buff.Angular ______________________________ Parallel
Whisper is clearly the weapon of choice here. Well of Radiance is a must. Hunters should use Golden Gun. Titans are worthless.
You should be 631 by the time you get to the boss. 626 absolutely minimum, but that's pushing it.

Yea, that's basically how we've been doing it too. I guess we just need to clean up and git gud then! I still wanna try using tanks to clear adds from the number 1 position and having the whole team go in from that side tho. That's the current speed run strat and it looks like it should be so tidy, even if the group isn't optimised on the rest of the fight.
I've gone through like 10+ sleeper nodes in a row without getting a new one. I'm going to be going after these for years, aren't I. Counter at 29 forever.
sell an item called infusion mold that lets you infuse any class armor to any class armor for your next infusion
even better, sell cross class infusion molds, but maybe for max glimmer for each infusion
titans not having a long range burst dps option is a huge fuckup by bungie given they had 9 swings at it
an exotic might be the easiest option--essentially celestial nighthawk for titans.
One player in our group was 618 PL when we started and I believe he finished at 622 PL after the clear. There was another that started at 622 PL and finished at 626 PL. The rest of us were in the mid-630s and after the clear were in the high 630s-to-low 640s.
On PC if it matters.
I already have Loaded Question and Breakneck (did the quests/pursuits before the PL increase) but from what I've heard from others, yes, they drop as Power Rewards.

The Thunderlord and now the Hammerhead (with Appended Mag, Feeding Frenzy, Rampage, and a Backup Mag mod...75 round magazines) has brought an insurmountable amount of fun (back) to this game.
I got the one that requires Arc, Solar, and Void Kills...nice that it gives you two weeks to complete them.
---------------------------------
The Legendary Black Armory shader and the Scourge of the Past raid shader feel like plays off of the Normal and Hard Mode Wrath of the Machine raid shaders.
Also, loving that BA armor although I hope they have an Escalation Protocol method in place allowing your characters to get different slotted pieces each week but that's probably wishful thinking given the (correct) route they've taken with Forsaken+.

because I picked up another Ps4, to share the game I had to start at lvl30 (gave my son the main account). Currently at LL 540 but my last EIGHT powerful item drops have been helmets.
I'm about to just give up at this point
You're experiencing what Bungie refers to as "smart loot". The smartest loot.
It's hilarious that their idea of a good game is having people constantly grinding items that are based on RNG just to level up for a chance then to play end-game content, which is also nothing but RNG. Do your light level grinds get you new powers or abilities? Nope. Just mindlessly stupid busywork.
I guess that's the slot Burning Maul is supposed to occupy, it just needs more vertical AoE - that would be a good idea for that potential exotic you mentioned. Melting point is pretty key most of the time too. The biggest disservice might be rendering bubble obsolete with Well of Radiance.
The other day I got the one where you have to complete 6 forge runs. After turning it in, I got the same exact bounty again. Talk about incredible luck. That's the fastest and easiest of the rare bounties too.
Do the bounties drop from the forges or just anywhere in the wild?
I agree. The look, feel, and sound of Hammerhead is incredible.
You get them from turning in Ada bounties, so you have daily chances because they refresh daily
Tatara Gaze (Gofannon Forge) sniper can roll Kill Clip. Final Round is back
I'm limited on time so couldn't grind LL through out last season. I'm sooo thankful I made an effort to get the Halloween gun, it's the only reason I'm cracking LL 600.
