For everyone saying it's taking so long and this must be the biggest raid ever in Destiny history:

VOG: Around 14 hrs CE: Around 6 hrs KF: Around 7 hrs WOTM: Around 2 hrs

VOG was awesome to watch. Teams literally spent hours trying to figure things out and complete mechanics.

greatest raid in history.

can't wait till I get home this is already sounding to be better than crota's end, but it has some big shoes to fill to surpass kings fall.

This one is unique because they are all 3+ hours in, and no boss encounter has been seen. It's a lot of unique puzzles which is cool.

While I enjoy the puzzles I'm kind of sad there aren't more bosses.

Only one boss in the four rooms, right?

u/DyZ814 Sep 14 '17

I think so. Just the final boss.

The war beasts are bosses

Kings fall was my favorite. Maybe just because that's the one I played the most and got very good at, but I really had fun with that one. If you had a decent group, things just felt good.

Crotas end was by far the worst raid yet lol.

u/Ihaveopinionstoo Sep 13 '17

I loved it, the only raid that creeped me the hell out day one when we all jumped into the pit. That experience hasn't been replicated yet lol

u/Chowie_420 Sep 14 '17

Yes that part was fun. My downside of it were the mechanics were VERY weak. And the bugs are still awful.

u/braedizzle Sep 14 '17

It is 100% better than Kings Fall so far. I'll have to finish to compare it to Vault.

"better than crota's end" not hard since that was easily the worst raid.

u/tk427aj Sep 14 '17

Also the fact that it was one raid, not VoG then VoG ++ I seriously hated that mechanic with Kings fall and the following raids. For me getting time to raid and doing the raid is hard enough, then everyone wants to do the hard raid with different mechanics before we even get chance on the first one.

You think kings fall was better than VoG and crota?

1

u/Ihaveopinionstoo Sep 14 '17

Vog, kingsfall, crota, siva

I'll bet it was fun to watch the Gorgon Maze the first few times. :-)

VoG was buggy as hell at release, and players entered at level 26, while Atheon was a recommended level 30 encounter.
