Yeah I'm watching Goth and Clan Redeem (who have gotten world firsts in Destiny raids) absolutely STRUGGLING.And yet people still want random matchmaking, because they wanna enjoy getting fucked over by randoms
Sounds good.Seems like a LFG feature is coming.

I'm at work so I can't watch streams.
Are there Destiny-like mechanics or are bosses just crazy ass bullet sponges who deal insane damage?
I saw Goth wipe. That's about it.

Gotta give me proof on FFXIV raids where people just spam skills and don't do mechanicsDid i say that?
Raids on Destiny are more complex, not harder, they rely on mechanics where do you need to coordinate certain steps on every stage of the raid, a complete different approach of FFXIV raids where do you spam skills.

in what game? I do MM LFD and MM LFR all the time in WoW. and I would say it's rare that everyone drops after one wipe. in fact, that's very rare and the minority situationThe randoms are interested, of course, but they will alt+f4 to the first wipe. And that happens all the time.
I'd argue WoW is inherently more hardcore though.in what game? I do MM LFD and MM LFR all the time in WoW. and I would say it's rare that everyone drops after one wipe. in fact, that's very rare and the minority situation
yeah and I already addressed that in my first posts earlier in the threadThere's a good reason why Raid Finder difficulty in WoW is baby's first raid difficulty.

obviously this means making multiple difficulties for the raids in Division or Destiny. and the MM should only be for the easiest difficulty, just like WoW and other MMOs with the same way
now I have seen some posters think it's a "crazy" idea that a raid have multiple difficulties. I have absolutely no fucking clue why anyone would think that. I don't play Destiny, but Division itself *already has different difficulties for all the other missions and strongholds*!
so why the hell is it weird or crazy to make different difficulties for Raids too?
Awesome!Seems like a LFG feature is coming.

ok well at least you're trying to discuss and understand it in a constructive mannerIt's not but enemy difficulty is not what makes the raid difficult. It's the mechanics and communication.
If they wanted to be nice, they'd make a version of the raid that disables all mechanics and just makes the bosses their normal sponges. Stronghold tier.
No raid loot, but you can at least have the mission.
Anything with mechanics will need a premade group.
The mechanics aren't hard for Boomer. It's just his self-heal that's a problem.At this point, I don't see how a matchmaking group can defeat the first boss. Premades have been stuck on him for hours. I'm wondering if a nerf will happen in the future.
I think part of the issue was that one group did not have any optimized builds so DPS was painstakingly low. They had the strategy pretty much nailed down but the damage wasn't there. Add an increasing number of ads as the fight goes on and you have wipe after wipe.At this point, I don't see how a matchmaking group can defeat the first boss.

The boss is immune to damage at first. At least one player will have to act as bait. Whoever spots a red eye icon in the middle of the screen – this means the boss will go after them. They should use the furniture in the middle of the room as distractions to slow him down. While they're kiting him, others should deal with adds and mount the turrets. When you see a red box on the boss' back, shoot it in order to stun him. When he drops to his knees, focus damage on him.
The turrets jam easily, so you have to drag the boss around the room. Also, he has a healing plate on his chest. Whoever is baiting him should shoot at it whenever it starts glowing. This will stop him from healing. Keep the adds and the boss away from the turrets – they'll try to destroy them. Also make sure you destroy the signal sources whenever they start glowing again, since they provide immunity to the enemies.
There are terminals in the middle of the room A - D as well. When you hear a prompt from ISAC, you can press to cancel the defense system from reactivating. Keep in mind the prompt isn't long, so you'll most likely need 1 at each terminal.
How long did it take?
Well that was fast.
Little over 5 hours I believe. By streamers who specialize in the division. I believe the destiny streamers are still struggling.
you shoot the box on his chest when it glows. that stops seaf healThe mechanics aren't hard for Boomer. It's just his self-heal that's a problem.
By the time you bring down 2 shield blobs one comes back by the time he comes back. Either there is another mechanic we don't know about that calms that down or that needs to be tuned down a little bit.
I can definitely say watching Marco's Team and Streamerhouse though that normal MM would not have worked. In-game LFG was the smart choice.
Exactly what I and others have been saying.Having played the raid for 3hrs last night - matchmaking that shit would be hilarious, absolutely no chance. If they add a 'build a raid team' option with mandatory options like mic, region etc, be fine, but rando matchmaking just wouldn;t work.
