Did that bounce off an enemy's shoulder to stick perfectly in the right spot? He's throwing it at the ground, and it ends up in the center of the back wall.

Titan bro schmeo landed a perfect lightning grenade and primed everyone. Bernie's storm grenade came second to clean up. Arc Web is a pretty baller perk for Control.

Why do people always ask "can I get to x light without raiding?" I'm not saying this in an insulting way, it genuinely confuses me. Why would you explicitly exclude one of the most fun aspects of the game?

All the raids are cool and good. IMPORTANT NOTE: I did not actually do any of the raids when current except KF.

There is no way the death zamboni is the end boss or even the biggest encounter, they never showed anything important from the final stages of the other raids.

I think it's going to be the equivalent of the totems in KF: the first "real" encounter that provides you with gear and gets you into the raid proper.

I think I read in one of the developer interviews that the new raid is more about action then choreographed routines like King's Fall was. You can make mistakes and it won't be a wipe.

They listened to all the people reducing raid mechanics to "stand here and shoot the boss" and now every encounter will be a giant strike boss

Emron
Aug 2, 2005

To be clear, I'm excited for a new strike-ier raid. The mechanics in KF weren't hard, definitely not as hard as people make them out to be, but it was a long rear end time commitment to get through, even on farm. A shorter, more chaotic raid sounds perfect for getting people back into the game to build excitement for D2.

You can still do 16 orb strat with a death, I've done it! It just takes the ability for everyone to not panic and adapt to the situation. I can't think of a single fight that can't be done on HM without all 6 staying alive the whole time (edit: totems maybe? It depends on when the person dies and which person dies, but the totems fight is dumb).

If you die in the first 30 seconds, sure, wipe it. But if you're 8 minutes in on a fight and someone dies, you have to have the burning shonen spirit to win

Emron
Aug 2, 2005

Double posting to say that I guess I'm caping for KF so badly because I used to raid in WoW (I know, I know), and the mechanics feel pretty similar to my existing concept of "raiding."

Can you spoil how? Is it just the reward for beating the story stuff?

Reddit says the quest unlocks after story. There's some additional quests involving finding medallions in patrol and then some tougher extra missions on PVP maps (like the subclass quests were).

What's the rec'd way of spending the exotic engrams and faction packages I saved up? Blast through them right away like Christmas or work through the story for awhile first? They're burning a hole in my vault.

I'd think it'd make sense to do the story first because the drops you get in it will start you at a higher base LL

Emron

Reddit is saying it seems rare to have engrams decrypt over 350 right now. If so then...I guess that's one way to gate the raid a bit?
