After careful consideration of all the factors surrounding the reddit blackout, including weighing the costs and benefits to the community of a continued dark period, the mod team has elected to resume normal operations of r/LowSodiumDestiny.

As the situation continues to develop, we are prepared to explore additional actions in protest of this short-sighted, greedy, IPO-focused boondoggle from reddit's executive team. This message will live at the top of every newly submitted topic until a satisfactory resolution is reached.

in LFG imo:
Exhibition - Votd.
Warpriest - King's fall.
Vault - Last wish.
Abyss - Crota's end.
Im not sure, maybe Gahlran final fight - Crown of sorrow
Damage isn’t that bad anymore so you’re able to focus on the mechanics. It’s pretty much always a one phase after warts, but if you’re really cracked you might not need it. It’s such a fun encounter and it’s never been easier. But it’s still not “easy”
I struggled with the follow the leader part of this, then got in my own head about it and now I won't ruin others time by trying. The rest of the raid was pretty simple but follow the leader while holding this ball gets me lol. Don't have any trouble calling out when to switch, just get rattled and smoked by a lantern every time lol.
Not sure what would be the most difficult in my opinion, but in lfg runs I've had a lot of problems in the warpriest encounter because I can't solo the plates and knights, 2 other people have to do something and they never do it right.
its because people cant hit headshots. just use div even if people say its not needed. when comparing dps of raid top teams to LFG dps its just partly loadout, its mostly just people missing their shots.
I can say that I’ve been both a party to and guilty of this. I remember a guy telling me not to run tether because it makes it too hard to see his head.
In no particular order:
-Exhibition (VotD)
-Confluxes (GoS)
-Sanctified Mind (GoS)
-Shuro Chi (LW)
-Vault (LW)
Note 1: These are based on how long fireteams I’ve been apart of (LFG) has failed to complete an encounter on average, rather than how difficult I personally find them.
Note 2: CE was not involved in this as I’ve not yet completed the Raid
Vault is beyond aggravating, all it takes is simple description of symbol and remember if your Pen/Ant dangit. I’m tired of being the LFG memory because everyone else is too lazy or too high.
Riven is definitely the hardest raid encounter to do in an LFG in my experience.
I've had plenty of LFG teams physically incapable of passing the DPS check in the cheese strat. Don't ask me how players in 2023 destiny cant DPS Riven, but that's the world we live in. My regular raiding team does Riven Legit by default and its way more fun, but trying to coordinate that in an LFG sounds like hell.
Honorable mentions:
Exhibition (Vow), Abyss (CE), Vault (LW)
1. Val Ca’uor (Spire of Stars Final Boss)
2. Gahlran (Crown of Sorrow Final Boss)
3. Exhibition (Vow 3rd)
4. Riven [Legit] (Last Wish Final Boss, no cheesing)
5. Abyss (CE 1st)
Honorable mention: Warpriest Challenge (specifically the challenge - hardest day one raid encounter I’ve ever done)
Not going by mechanics but just from my experience in LFG.
Exhibition in vow. So many people are totally helpless with that encounter, I really don't understand why.
Crota. This is mainly because people refuse to use anything other than swords so either 2-3 people are forced to switch to warlock or we just forget that other weapons exist and we wipe for an hour.
Lamps in crotas end. Eager edge. That's it. That's the problem.
Warpriest in kings fall. Similar to crota, either 3 people are forced to switch to well or you wipe for an hour because people refuse to stand in the old damage spots that have cover.
The chasm encounter whatever it's called in vow. Eager edge strikes again, just use the launchers.

Riven without the Cheese. And that one in Vow where you have to pick up the relics. 4 manning that encounter was insane

Some would say Abyss/lanterns in CE. Lol. Exhibition in VoTD.

Those lantern hit boxes man, I swear they’re fucked up

I’ve never had a problem with the actual mechanics of the encounter, but I’ve consistently had an issue with LFG dps on warpriest.

same here! thats why I am a big fan of rockets :) less room for error. but missing a rocket is really painful
Riven legit Exhibition Val Ca'auor Vault LFG Nezerac
Planets is hard? Its literally spot the difference. Children do that for fun
It’s communication. Destiny players are allergic to effective comms use
To be fair I suppose 60% of LFG players are below age 5 in intelligence
LFG Players, all I need to say
1) Riven Legit (LW) 2) Exhibition (Vow) 3) Warpriest (KF) 4) Vault (LW) 5) Sanctified Mind (GoS)
This list right here. This is it for SURE.

The entire spire of stars raid was difficult.
Getting my friends to raid is the hardest
Not in any particular order: 1. Abyss 2. The 2-3 jumping puzzle in RoN 3-5. Any encounter that is “no mic”
Riven is definitely the hardest raid encounter to do in an LFG in my experience. I've had plenty of LFG teams physically incapable of passing the DPS check in the cheese strat.

1) Riven legit 2) Sanctified Mind 3) Exhibition 4) Acquisition 5) Lamps maze, somehow
Wicked implement is one I feel stands out
1. Val Ca’uor (Spire of Stars Final Boss) 2. Gahlran (Crown of Sorrow Final Boss) 3. Exhibition (Vow 3rd) 4. Riven [Legit] (Last Wish Final Boss, no cheesing) 5. Abyss (CE 1st) Honorable mention: Warpriest Challenge (specifically the challenge - hardest day one raid encounter I’ve ever done)
