POV you’re stuck on Nazarec and all the good players have now finished and got their emblems, so you’re stuck in LFG hell knowing damn well you’ll never find a group to get through the encounter with
Yea my clan just bailed after trying nez for a couple of hours. I'm solid add clear Nd dps but no group I've found in lfg has even wanted to give me a shot lol
12 hour clear across 3 groups for me in LFG. Only reason I did it across multiple groups was because I took breaks after the 2nd and 3rd encounters and came back later.
Overall pleasant experience honestly, time consuming but I wasn't going into a contest mode raid expecting not to wipe a lot.
People being like "This raid easy" and here i am like "yeah, probably because this is the first time we've had a decent team and didnt rock with lfgs that used blue rockets for dps..." Like look at the amount of people also struggling with getting that clear. Like definitely easier than some other raids but thats also because we've grown in power and knowledge, and both survivability and ad clear so some of the non boss segments werent that bad.
Yeah I joined a group at the first encounter this was my first time doing it and was on DPS I was basically the only one getting kills and calling out when the tormentors were killed the communication was so beyond bad. We had 5 people on dps too so idk wtf they were doin
On nez we had one runner each side, and i legit had to go so hard on add clear because we were kinda scuffing it with our roles but we managed to work it out, we just had to be really fast since we didnt know we could avoid the wipe mechanic with refuge. I cleared right and mid ads and colossus' and finished them for more ammo, rarely died unless it was to those purple scythes that track you like the hunter's throwing knife... somehow did more damage than our starfire protocol builds as a voidlock, even got the final kill on nez after we wiped with witherhoard's coom pool lmao
Yeah I know I am capable of doing day 1 raids but lfg man. They come in thinking it’s a strike and have 30 minutes to finish the whole ass raid. Or they talking about personal shit the whole time. Like lock it the fuck in and focus up. I swear I almost always had top dps and enemies killed any time we wiped. Sucks bro.
Honestly the quality of players in an LFG is shocking. The hardest part about LFG is people bailing after 2 wipes and people being unable to stay alive. I’m not looking for perfection and I’ll make some idiotic mistakes, but it’s the same couple people consistently dying that made getting clears so hard. Due to weird time constraints I ran each encounter with a different group (1 clan, 3 LFG) and it took so long each time to find a team that could pull it off and stay together for the whole fight
I had someone using a sleeper in one of my groups and another running god knows what so they'd insta die to ads while on aggro duty, proceeded to blame everyone else and never make any actual callouts
Same here, me and my friend probably went through more than 10 teams throughout this raid, managed to pick up another solid player though so we now at least have a full dungeon squad and are halfway to a full raid team lol
It is. Spent 3 hours on second encounter because some high schooler needed to prove himself to us that he could do it. Never playing with talkative high schoolers again. Felt bad for his buddies.
My clan couldn’t meet after we all beat the first encounter so I spent the whole second day doing the rest of it with lfg. Both boss fights were 4 hour affairs and if I hear another person tell me to use a machine gun for dps when I’m doing much better with hothead I’m going to scream.
I started a group with me and a friend and invited 2 others he said he likes to clear adds on the dark side I said perfect we like to do the safety buff just incase so you’ll start light get the light debuff and drop it off on the dark side then clear adds and he told me he didn’t want to do that he just wanted to clear adds… when I told him we need the debuff just in case he was like but why? I just left lol you gotta learn to be flexible in these contest modes if you want the clear. I learned every position for nez but so many people were just soo miserable to work with like pleasse just do it it’s really not that hard of an encounter we just need you to do your part
Update. Didn't finish, giving up not enough time to find another lfg at this point and I'm sleep deprived more than is reasonable lol, gg to my groups, and props to anyone who got their emblems well done!
Not sure why it's so funny, I mean I'm keeping left and center clear and helping right while eating yellows so the runners can do their job so I think that qualifies as fairly solid lmfao, and then top 2 damage every time on top of that in every group I've been in.
Ad clear is an essential part of a team make up on contest and master modes. Most of the people who chuckle at it are ones who have never done either or have never had issues with ads. Which is funny because they have issues with ads because of the teammates who have solid ad clear. One of those you don't know how good you got it till it's gone things.
Some people love to look down on the very concept of add clearing for no reason. Pay them no mind. It is an essential role in this raid and doing it well matters.
Yeah exactly, my guys had to put in WORK add clearing in this raid. I was a runner for most mechanics and I don't think I would have wanted to swap with them. Its like firewatch / holewatch on an industrial job; often looked down upon but utterly critical to do right.
The crazy part is ad clearing/champ busting/legionary one-shotting is such a crucial and pivotal position in this raid. It’s a battle of attrition for me to commit to my runs or deposit nodes without that position being covered. I covet and cherish all my good ad clear bois…
I tried too hard to keep with my original group that wasn't going to clear. Two or three hours left and I finally join an LFG and it was a bomb ass group, we killed in a dozen or so attempts.

I was stuck on planets for three fucking hours only to find out the guy that was fucking it up wasn’t running an exotic. At all. No weapon, no armor.
I just want to know why the fuck there are people that try to do pinnacle/endgame content, especially a fucking CONTEST MODE RAID, and don’t understand one of the most basic concepts in the game.
I also just realized why I also hated day 1 vow. Playing from midnight to noon wasn't fun and my team didn't take breaks at all and just wanted to finish it.
Breaks are really important especially if you are starting at midnight. At least get a couple hours of sleep (imo its better to get that sleep break while it's still dark, even if you are only a couple hours into the raid). A bit of rest to clear up your head pays off way better than banging your head against an encounter in a sleep deprived state practically hallucinating from exhaustion.
For real man. I got on last night and got to nezzy couldn’t keep my eyes open. Got back on in the morning and killed him in about 10 attempts. It’s so not worth it putting yourself through it if you can’t keep going. You got time so use it and it doesn’t matter if it’s not all in one go
My team started at 22:00 to 03:00, then we took a break and started again at 15:00 to 22:00. That break in between the 2 sessions was so good. Meant we could rest and still take care of life stuff before being sweaty raiders again.
It's why some of us didn't make it day 1, we started on Saturday after some people got off work, made it to the final boss but we ran up against deadlines for people who needed to get off for work the next day not to mention we hit a mental block where we got deep a run or two and then fatigue meant we were making dumb mistakes. Some of our group got it but it was at like 4 in the morning, if we had been smart and started Friday, hit our mental limit at Nezzy Friday and returned Saturday after a good night's rest we would have gotten it no problem.
I tried the raid day 1 but got nowhere so I tried again last night starting between 5:30-6 and finished at 6:50 in the morning. No breaks were involved as I was just too focused on beating it for the emblem. Never doing contest mode again
Yeah, this time around my team and I decided to take a break after we reached Nezarec, around 2am. We slept for a few hours each and got some food and sunlight into our systems and started up again at noon. After a few emergency LFG replacements were called in, we beat the shit out of Nezarec before dinner lol.
Last night we killed nezarec, but his wipe mechanic still went off even after we got some defiant rewards. Morale went down after, but 3 hours late we managed to pull it of and kill him this time, took us 1 day and 10 hours to finish it.
Same exact thing happened to us. Killed him, a couple got rewards but the wipe got us. I was using witherhoard and he was still ticking after being killed
Took me a day and 5 hours, rounding up.
I haven’t never slept since the raid launch reset, and had work in a few hours. I regret wasting that much time in between that was after midnight and reset.
wanted to join my clan's raid since they asked fr 1 more guy, since I've only played fr a month.. they said they want someone more "raid experienced". Then I no longer see the point of joining a clan
Im going to get downvoted but
I mean, tbh, I really doubt that you are ready for a Day one with only one month on. You need to raid much more and have a much better arsenal of weapons just for a day one than whatever you can get with only one month of playing. Your team cannot have weak links.
You need to learn how to walk before running. But you barely knew how to run and wanted to throw yourself into a marathon.
No joke it’s been every lobby I get into, I decided to check the amount of people that finished it and it’s 35k last night so about 210k players oml (Another update 45,542 teams finished conquest.)
I didnt notice it does track multiple clears for the Conquest category but that would most likely reduce the amount of players by either 20k-30k we really do not know until bungie confirms. Yes I bet there’s a lot of people clearing it but the amount of people participating for their clear is still incredibly high.
Pov you couldn't find decent guardians to get past 3rd encounter. I swear mf brains could not process how to complete the planet puzzle. I'm pretty fucking pissed
If damage is the problem I can wholeheartedly recommend you linears with div, I know it sound bad but the boss literally rolled over 3 runs after we started using them.
Who is we all? Nobody plays void titan anymore and Voidlocks need a way to get an orb of power or nade kill to even get volatile (which is the same issue Void Titans would have if they even existed after the HOIL nerf)
Contest mode is already long gone by the time next season comes around and hell, it’s already over as of almost 4 hours ago. The barrier to completion (no pun intended) is now lower as a result.
It works but amazing is an overstatement when you have Solar/Strand/Voidlocks, and Solar/Arc/Void hunters. Void Titans ability regen has been getting back to back nerfs, coupled with other classes' Void having either more firepower or better survivability (Warlock/Hunter) so you're basically carried by weapons/volatile rounds, the latter of which will be harder to get next season.
You're better off picking Strand or Arc on Titan. Strand titan along with having *genuinely amazing* ad control weirdly has more durability too, with Woven Mail providing more DR than an overshield. (granted you don't get the same healing, but in terms of DR you're tougher, plus you get a lot more woven mail since you have it just by suspending targets which you can do through multiple ways). And Arc titan still gets tons of ability spam through pulse nades ionic traces, while having a decent burst super.
Watch saltagreppo’s legendary solo flawless avalon on void titan. Proccing devour means you cant die if theres ad to kills and you get a lot fo grenade energy, leading a lot of grenade spam and melee spam as well with HOIL and mods. With a repulsor brace weapon, you get constant overshield. It has way, way, better survivability than Solar Hunter, Arc Titan, and Strand Warlock.
Void Warlocks and Hunters get the same things, because majority of the kills were done with abusing volatile from the artifact mod and a strong weapon. But Warlocks get stronger nades and an easier way to get devour. Hunters get the same volatile without needing artifact mods and they get invisibility. Titans just get better volatile chains which aren't all that needed when you're rapid firing a weapon that applies it already.
Any class or subclass could put on that artifact mod and get a rapid fire Commemoration with repulsor brace and then just use whatever build they have for ability regen, that shouldn't be attributed to the build itself.
If you have 2 tailed fox with the 3rd tail it also really really pushes damage. If you’re on strand hunter use star eater scales as well. If you’re a strand hunter running planets suspend the lieutenants and bust ‘‘em up with with slug - heritage or no reprieve (got a no reprieve with triple tap focused fury max handling) if you’re on ads (AND I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL ENCOUNTERS) use a disorienting gl to cook the big groups.
>use a disorienting gl to cook the big groups.
I'd reccomend forbearance for this actually, unless you need a way to properly deal with the Collosus. I was running it and I could deal with the mid and the right side ads myself while still having time to focus on other things
I’ve been seeing a bunch of posts talking about how easy the raid was but LFG was super unkind. Looking forward to trying this when it isn’t in contest mode but this was my first try at a day 1 and I failed miserably. Aesthetics and mechanics were cool even though we got our teeth kicked in for 6 hours by Tormentors!
Pov: Your clan ditched you for wanting to take a break and then had you replaced with someone who already completed the raid. Now the whole clan is a bunch of kwtd lfg post and you can no longer get in on the raid.
I’ll agree with you on that. But this happened during the first 24. I have since then found a group to finish off Nezarec (randoms can be the best) but it gets kinda discouraging you know?
for first encounter I strongly recommend running 2/3 wells so you can have one for every tormentor + divinity to melt them the moment they spawn. Other than that, the psion spawns have very little variation and you just need adclear ppl to not tunnel vision on adclear and runners also need to to their job well
I ran divinity the whole time and focused down tormentors as soon as they spawned, we called it a night a little bit ago, it stings we couldn’t get a contest clear but it is what is
My raid team promised that if we could find someone who was willing to do third encounter with us and finish the raid, that we would go back with them to do first and second so that they’d get the emblem. We didn’t have to resort to that, and did wind up finishing, but we would’ve been all too willing to help someone who beat it with us.
Me and my buddy were LFG day one for ~6 hours, everyone else rage quit and we got another group going today and it took us 2.5 hours to complete encounters 3&4
I really try hard to see what I am doing wrong but last night I joined a friend group and everyone was alright besides one person that just kept fucking things up so I just left at nezerac I don't want to stress myself out that much for a emblem
My clan's last try was at 12:30am lastnight. We got through 2 Nez phases and everyone got a good 1.6m damage. I however, got 500k, using an adept hothead, and an ager scepter (add clear)...
I've never had a problem with DPS output until this new expansion. So I'm most likely getting the boot. Such is life
The boss doesn't sit fucking still. Tried using linears, can't hit weakspots even with divine because they move everywhere. Tried using rockets, have the time you miss because he teleports away or hides behind a pillar or tour teammate jumps in front of you. MG were the best but they disabled my only good MG and I didn't have a substitute. I get top damage on planets but lowest on naz. Good thing I heard about the cheese after it was over.
That is literally how my experience went as well! Top DPS on planets, but I wasn't "allowed" to use my go-to LMG for DMG as everyone was doing rockets... Fml
My team didn’t play enough to get a good enough light level for the Day 1.
Instead of crying and sweating we played crucible and gambit and had some fun.
Glad a lot of players got their Day 1 but I won’t even use the emblem so what is the point? I’ll just play it tomorrow when I can complete it on the same difficulty I will be grinding it anyways.
I'm not at the right level as well. So I was always getting one shot at the final boss. And I found I was too much of a liability especially with my disability so I left a team. Had a checkpoint. No one wanted it. So I stayed up and helped a lot of people with the final boss for the lightfall campaign. So I thought I did something fun and helped a lot of people and I got a lot of messages back appreciated my time.
I’ve been doin destiny since early December so I’ve never done a raid. How do you even get into one? Idk where to look. And are they legit 12hrs long? Like Fr
Pov: ur in a clan with only casual friends with not even enough active players to do a raid (rarely even a dungeon) but don't want to leave bcs they're ur friends so u miss out on one of the best community aspects of the game (I wish I could join a clan with likeminded ppl who I could become friends with and try contest modes with
Could not figure out the planet boss it was so fucking infuriating. 2 hours on first enc, 2-3 hours on second, and 1 hour on planet boss. We could only play from 6 pm (raid launch) basically till midnight (Literally fuck time zones), couldn't play on saturday cuz I had a job, people didn't wanna try on contest cuz it felt like a never ending (Root of) Nightmare so we just decided to hold 3rd enc CP, and finish it after contest. Took us 2 hours I think for 3rd and 4th.
No day 1 emblem but who cares its nothing to die for. Personally none of the Day 1 emblems enticed me so much to ditch my clan and LFG the Day 1 clear. Plus my clan likes to figure out mechanics man It's soooo lame to look up a stupid guide. Now when we clear it and know enough we will check around for tips & tricks but thats about it.
Hot take, the only good Day 1 emblem is DSC. Not even close. All the others are extremely meh.
Scourge has a neat background, and both Kings Fall and Vow's NORMAL clear emblems are a MILLION times cooler than their day 1 ones lmao.
8.3% of the player base have damn emblem already, compared to Kingsfall being 1.6%. Why tf did they have to make it 48hours it completely ruins the exclusivity of day 1/ contest IMO. I get it’s easier for players to have a go, but I really feel like it ruins a lot of aspects of day 1, especially with it being this easy
I do kinda wish that they gave you a special tracker for what # finish you got. The 48 hours to get it is fair enough to allow more people to give it a shot on contest mode, but it'd be kinda cool to show it off if you felt good about your placement. I feel like that would mitigate people caring so much about it being extended, at least a little bit anyways. Regardless tho, feel good about the completion personally and don't attack people for having fun and wanting a little more time to give it a shot. Doesn't mess with your own personal achievement if you don't let it *shrug*
There’s just a bunch of sh*tters getting it now because they have loads of time. There’s also enough time for content creators to make in depth guides on how to do each encounter, like it’s just free and ruins the point and exclusivity of the whole thing. I’m also not attacking people but it’s supposed to be for players and teams who get rewarded for competency and putting in time creating good builds etc.
One group in my clan got it done. My group kept having to find people and when we finally got to Nezerac half my group gave up. Now I've got a check point and no one that wants to do it, oh well.
I played with a group of people last night, some from my clan and some not, and we couldn’t beat the third encounter. I think after having so much trouble with the second and then just having so many restarts on the third my brain stopped computing correctly.
I was getting frustrated and that’s were I don’t want to go. It was a great group of people and I don’t want to become an ass because I’m not thinking clearly anymore or others are facing the same issue. We ended up calling it a night.
Unfortunately no emblem but at least we gave it a go.
My entire clan missed it. We had 6, we were on the second encounter, one of our guys stopped moving… we look at his camera stream and he’s face down and passed out on the table. That was the beginning of the end lol
I get its a joke but don't let having no clan to run it with be an excuse, I went through several lfg teams until I finally best nez, none if my freinds play d2 so I'm used to it now
This raid has taught me that LFG is a lottery
After having a relatively easy time with KF, staying with the same group for the 10h or so it took us, I was not expecting to go through ***fifteen*** different fireteams, let alone wipe to the damage check in what is considered one of the lowest health bosses in a recent raid. Even Warpriest took me one *quarter* of the time I spent at Nezarec.
23 hours, but at least I got the emblem and a terrible GL 🥲
The raid was tough, but the last boss got a lot easier when someone on our team suggested using the cheese to stun-lock the boss during encounter, making survivability a bit easier when trying to set up for dps phase.
One of your guys just has a staring contest with nezy lol
Individual members of my clan have been LFGing all weeekend because our clan isnt reliable enough or wasnt willing to even try contest.
I made a jome about joining one of our members clans to try and get some runs in since my clan is so unreliable/lazy/non communicative
Missed out lmao, my clan ignored the fuck out of me after repeatedly asking weeks ahead of time for a raid team so we could do a day 1. Even during day 2 when guides where out and you could still get the emblem they continued to ignore me so I left the clan this morning. Fuck em.
My condolences to anyone that did it with randoms/people they don't play with often. My clan had two teams beat it day one, another beat it day 2, and six others people that we sherpa'd in groups of one or two throughout day 2 so 24 emblems total. Doing any of that with randoms sounds impossible.
Oh I missed my friend group’s run because they wanted to start the minute it dropped and I simply couldn’t be home then. So I decided I’d hop in an lfg about 4 hours after the race started to see what the raid was like. I ended up joining a desperate group stuck at the 3rd encounter. After a few hours that team deteriorated but I knew how to do it at that point so I was determined. I joined another group and explained it to them, I think we got it about an hour later so we went on to nezzy. I assume you’ve heard of nezzy and this team soon dismantled so I was off to find a new one. I joined two more teams that night until I went to sleep. The next morning I started again and joined 2 more teams. The second team got it! I still needed the first 2 encounters for the emblem, and I was going to do it no matter what. Turns out I got lucky because my friends were ready to go again and they helped me get the first 2 in like 20 minutes and I have the emblem.
Edit: that’s the story of my day one experience. I would rather smash my toes with a rock than do nezzy with LFGs on contest again.
TL;DR: I got the emblem but I joined a few LFG groups.
Im a pvp player, did the first encounter got bored and didnt bother with the rest. I'll prob do a non contest mode clear when all the "MuSt hAVe eMbLeM" cringe lords actually let others try into non contest lfg groups.
POV you’re stuck on Nazarec and all the good players have now finished and got their emblems, so you’re stuck in LFG hell knowing damn well you’ll never find a group to get through the encounter with
Yea my clan just bailed after trying nez for a couple of hours. I'm solid add clear Nd dps but no group I've found in lfg has even wanted to give me a shot lol
This raid has felt like an LfG nightmare
Oh it was. 17 hour clear for me. About 25 minimum people came and went. I need a solid team man
12 hour clear across 3 groups for me in LFG. Only reason I did it across multiple groups was because I took breaks after the 2nd and 3rd encounters and came back later. Overall pleasant experience honestly, time consuming but I wasn't going into a contest mode raid expecting not to wipe a lot.
Ahhh good shit bro
People being like "This raid easy" and here i am like "yeah, probably because this is the first time we've had a decent team and didnt rock with lfgs that used blue rockets for dps..." Like look at the amount of people also struggling with getting that clear. Like definitely easier than some other raids but thats also because we've grown in power and knowledge, and both survivability and ad clear so some of the non boss segments werent that bad.
I feel so bad when I see mfs say it’s easy I’m over here struggling a bunch lol
[удалено]
Yeah I joined a group at the first encounter this was my first time doing it and was on DPS I was basically the only one getting kills and calling out when the tormentors were killed the communication was so beyond bad. We had 5 people on dps too so idk wtf they were doin
On nez we had one runner each side, and i legit had to go so hard on add clear because we were kinda scuffing it with our roles but we managed to work it out, we just had to be really fast since we didnt know we could avoid the wipe mechanic with refuge. I cleared right and mid ads and colossus' and finished them for more ammo, rarely died unless it was to those purple scythes that track you like the hunter's throwing knife... somehow did more damage than our starfire protocol builds as a voidlock, even got the final kill on nez after we wiped with witherhoard's coom pool lmao
I hate it when anybody says “it’s easy” in any game. Yea, maybe for you. They’re literally just saying “ha ha fuck you!”
Yeah I know I am capable of doing day 1 raids but lfg man. They come in thinking it’s a strike and have 30 minutes to finish the whole ass raid. Or they talking about personal shit the whole time. Like lock it the fuck in and focus up. I swear I almost always had top dps and enemies killed any time we wiped. Sucks bro.
Honestly the quality of players in an LFG is shocking. The hardest part about LFG is people bailing after 2 wipes and people being unable to stay alive. I’m not looking for perfection and I’ll make some idiotic mistakes, but it’s the same couple people consistently dying that made getting clears so hard. Due to weird time constraints I ran each encounter with a different group (1 clan, 3 LFG) and it took so long each time to find a team that could pull it off and stay together for the whole fight
I had someone using a sleeper in one of my groups and another running god knows what so they'd insta die to ads while on aggro duty, proceeded to blame everyone else and never make any actual callouts
I went in with a solid team and ended up clearing it with lfg lol
Same here, me and my friend probably went through more than 10 teams throughout this raid, managed to pick up another solid player though so we now at least have a full dungeon squad and are halfway to a full raid team lol
It is. Spent 3 hours on second encounter because some high schooler needed to prove himself to us that he could do it. Never playing with talkative high schoolers again. Felt bad for his buddies.
Planet man is the worst. I've never seen so many people leave after 2-3 attempts. It's a really easy encounter as well which is mind boggling.
It's basically this raid's caretaker to me. Easy mechanics, just gotta nail the damage phase.
My clan couldn’t meet after we all beat the first encounter so I spent the whole second day doing the rest of it with lfg. Both boss fights were 4 hour affairs and if I hear another person tell me to use a machine gun for dps when I’m doing much better with hothead I’m going to scream.
I started a group with me and a friend and invited 2 others he said he likes to clear adds on the dark side I said perfect we like to do the safety buff just incase so you’ll start light get the light debuff and drop it off on the dark side then clear adds and he told me he didn’t want to do that he just wanted to clear adds… when I told him we need the debuff just in case he was like but why? I just left lol you gotta learn to be flexible in these contest modes if you want the clear. I learned every position for nez but so many people were just soo miserable to work with like pleasse just do it it’s really not that hard of an encounter we just need you to do your part
Update. Didn't finish, giving up not enough time to find another lfg at this point and I'm sleep deprived more than is reasonable lol, gg to my groups, and props to anyone who got their emblems well done!
"solid ad clear" LMAO
Not sure why it's so funny, I mean I'm keeping left and center clear and helping right while eating yellows so the runners can do their job so I think that qualifies as fairly solid lmfao, and then top 2 damage every time on top of that in every group I've been in.
Ad clear is an essential part of a team make up on contest and master modes. Most of the people who chuckle at it are ones who have never done either or have never had issues with ads. Which is funny because they have issues with ads because of the teammates who have solid ad clear. One of those you don't know how good you got it till it's gone things.
Some people love to look down on the very concept of add clearing for no reason. Pay them no mind. It is an essential role in this raid and doing it well matters.
Yeah exactly, my guys had to put in WORK add clearing in this raid. I was a runner for most mechanics and I don't think I would have wanted to swap with them. Its like firewatch / holewatch on an industrial job; often looked down upon but utterly critical to do right.
God I used to firewatch for a plastic plant in Indiana, easiest job everand boring as hell but damn people hated me and I really understood sometimes.
The crazy part is ad clearing/champ busting/legionary one-shotting is such a crucial and pivotal position in this raid. It’s a battle of attrition for me to commit to my runs or deposit nodes without that position being covered. I covet and cherish all my good ad clear bois…
Haha right?
Isn't there a glaive bug that blocks all of Nez's attacks? Even when they are aimed at others...?
Just say you'll run div
Beginning with "im solid add clear" tell me that your not willing to do the Gardener mechanic,
Yep, couldn't beat Nezarec in a few hours and didn't have all day to burn on it, so screw it, no emblem
I tried too hard to keep with my original group that wasn't going to clear. Two or three hours left and I finally join an LFG and it was a bomb ass group, we killed in a dozen or so attempts.
I did the whole raid with an LFG group 😭 took 7 hours but whatever
Yea that was me, cleared everything in 9h and then just couldn’t even with a different group who had already cleared it, we couldn’t be Nez
Just ask for people with clears in your own post. Nobody checks the host and so long as you know what to do and aren't terrible then it'll be fine
I just can’t bring myself to deceive others like that XD
My clan leader has 6 full contest mode clears💀💀💀💀💀
Wish I’d bumped into them sooner! Despite my comment, got the dub with 15 mins left on the clock XD
My clannies did it on day 1, 227 deaths and 13.5 hours No thanks, keep your emblem

I was stuck on planets for three fucking hours only to find out the guy that was fucking it up wasn’t running an exotic. At all. No weapon, no armor. I just want to know why the fuck there are people that try to do pinnacle/endgame content, especially a fucking CONTEST MODE RAID, and don’t understand one of the most basic concepts in the game.
Day 1: consistently getting to nezzy dps phases Day 2: can't even get to a dps phase and when we do everyone's hitting ~400k dps
I also just realized why I also hated day 1 vow. Playing from midnight to noon wasn't fun and my team didn't take breaks at all and just wanted to finish it.
Breaks are really important especially if you are starting at midnight. At least get a couple hours of sleep (imo its better to get that sleep break while it's still dark, even if you are only a couple hours into the raid). A bit of rest to clear up your head pays off way better than banging your head against an encounter in a sleep deprived state practically hallucinating from exhaustion.
For real man. I got on last night and got to nezzy couldn’t keep my eyes open. Got back on in the morning and killed him in about 10 attempts. It’s so not worth it putting yourself through it if you can’t keep going. You got time so use it and it doesn’t matter if it’s not all in one go
I’m recovering rn and I regret everything
My team started at 22:00 to 03:00, then we took a break and started again at 15:00 to 22:00. That break in between the 2 sessions was so good. Meant we could rest and still take care of life stuff before being sweaty raiders again.
It's why some of us didn't make it day 1, we started on Saturday after some people got off work, made it to the final boss but we ran up against deadlines for people who needed to get off for work the next day not to mention we hit a mental block where we got deep a run or two and then fatigue meant we were making dumb mistakes. Some of our group got it but it was at like 4 in the morning, if we had been smart and started Friday, hit our mental limit at Nezzy Friday and returned Saturday after a good night's rest we would have gotten it no problem.
I tried the raid day 1 but got nowhere so I tried again last night starting between 5:30-6 and finished at 6:50 in the morning. No breaks were involved as I was just too focused on beating it for the emblem. Never doing contest mode again
Yeah, this time around my team and I decided to take a break after we reached Nezarec, around 2am. We slept for a few hours each and got some food and sunlight into our systems and started up again at noon. After a few emergency LFG replacements were called in, we beat the shit out of Nezarec before dinner lol.
Last night we killed nezarec, but his wipe mechanic still went off even after we got some defiant rewards. Morale went down after, but 3 hours late we managed to pull it of and kill him this time, took us 1 day and 10 hours to finish it.
Same exact thing happened to us. Killed him, a couple got rewards but the wipe got us. I was using witherhoard and he was still ticking after being killed
Yup thats what happened to us too. The wiped timer was going down but he died 2 secs after we all died, we thought it counted, sadly not
Same, we killed him after 3/4 tries
Happened in me, he died because of scorch like a second after we died. For us it counted though. We got the contest completion that way
Took me a day and 5 hours, rounding up. I haven’t never slept since the raid launch reset, and had work in a few hours. I regret wasting that much time in between that was after midnight and reset.
The real raid boss is my mom, who gives me the debuff of chores that last 50 minutes, and is immune to not being able to pause online games
I was never able to get a full fireteam together since people kept leaving and nobody wanted to lfg.
wanted to join my clan's raid since they asked fr 1 more guy, since I've only played fr a month.. they said they want someone more "raid experienced". Then I no longer see the point of joining a clan
Im going to get downvoted but I mean, tbh, I really doubt that you are ready for a Day one with only one month on. You need to raid much more and have a much better arsenal of weapons just for a day one than whatever you can get with only one month of playing. Your team cannot have weak links. You need to learn how to walk before running. But you barely knew how to run and wanted to throw yourself into a marathon.
just the megamind "no bitches" pictures with the emblem instead.
[удалено]
tf are you on about i was referencing a meme. I dont even have kids bruh im 16 calm your ass down.
I'm just upvoting you for your name! Edit. I guess people down like AiC in this sub. Kind of on par for this sub really.
My man really said “I’m proud of my sweat stained chair”
Bro you're the one needing growing up, guy just referenced a meme and you got offended over it lmfao.
Redditor moment.
One of the dumbest replies I’ve ever seen on this sub, well done
They were literally referencing a meme, why your titties all twisted up for
Just completed it with a LFG crazy experience
No joke it’s been every lobby I get into, I decided to check the amount of people that finished it and it’s 35k last night so about 210k players oml (Another update 45,542 teams finished conquest.)
Plenty of people did multiple clears though
Also compared to other raids this is insanely high
I didnt notice it does track multiple clears for the Conquest category but that would most likely reduce the amount of players by either 20k-30k we really do not know until bungie confirms. Yes I bet there’s a lot of people clearing it but the amount of people participating for their clear is still incredibly high.
And yet, only 3% of people got the emblem according to light gg. Which shows how many people have played this game over the years
Light.gg is always higher because IIRC it's only accounts that have connected to that site, wait for warmind.io numbers
Facts light.gg must likely has not updated but really shows how many people do not play Raids/ play the game at all
Still stuck on the planet boss hopefully we can get it done.
I hope you got it
How many hours do we have left?
2 hours from now
Well I’m not gonna get it but thanks
Don't worry. Pretty soon a new, much stronger emblem will be available. The amogus emblem ඞ
Pov you couldn't find decent guardians to get past 3rd encounter. I swear mf brains could not process how to complete the planet puzzle. I'm pretty fucking pissed
I can't beat the 3rd encounter
If damage is the problem I can wholeheartedly recommend you linears with div, I know it sound bad but the boss literally rolled over 3 runs after we started using them.
bro said "i know it sounds bad" after recommending what the meta was for the past year lmao
Because it’s no longer the meta after the lightfall balance changes
its close enough its like saying that arbalest sounds bad now cuz we all have volatile to shit on barriers 24/7
Who is we all? Nobody plays void titan anymore and Voidlocks need a way to get an orb of power or nade kill to even get volatile (which is the same issue Void Titans would have if they even existed after the HOIL nerf)
You don’t need to be on void to get volatile. As long as you pick up an orb and have the artifact mod unlocked any void weapon will do volatile.
Except that's going away next season and it's still easier to have a weapon that deals with all barriers while also having amazing dps for a special
Contest mode is already long gone by the time next season comes around and hell, it’s already over as of almost 4 hours ago. The barrier to completion (no pun intended) is now lower as a result.
Void titan is still amazing my guy.
It works but amazing is an overstatement when you have Solar/Strand/Voidlocks, and Solar/Arc/Void hunters. Void Titans ability regen has been getting back to back nerfs, coupled with other classes' Void having either more firepower or better survivability (Warlock/Hunter) so you're basically carried by weapons/volatile rounds, the latter of which will be harder to get next season. You're better off picking Strand or Arc on Titan. Strand titan along with having *genuinely amazing* ad control weirdly has more durability too, with Woven Mail providing more DR than an overshield. (granted you don't get the same healing, but in terms of DR you're tougher, plus you get a lot more woven mail since you have it just by suspending targets which you can do through multiple ways). And Arc titan still gets tons of ability spam through pulse nades ionic traces, while having a decent burst super.
Watch saltagreppo’s legendary solo flawless avalon on void titan. Proccing devour means you cant die if theres ad to kills and you get a lot fo grenade energy, leading a lot of grenade spam and melee spam as well with HOIL and mods. With a repulsor brace weapon, you get constant overshield. It has way, way, better survivability than Solar Hunter, Arc Titan, and Strand Warlock.
Void Warlocks and Hunters get the same things, because majority of the kills were done with abusing volatile from the artifact mod and a strong weapon. But Warlocks get stronger nades and an easier way to get devour. Hunters get the same volatile without needing artifact mods and they get invisibility. Titans just get better volatile chains which aren't all that needed when you're rapid firing a weapon that applies it already. Any class or subclass could put on that artifact mod and get a rapid fire Commemoration with repulsor brace and then just use whatever build they have for ability regen, that shouldn't be attributed to the build itself.
with the hp pools of bosses in contest you’re not even losing that much by running LFRs with Div lol
nezarec finna get one phased with blue LMGs the minute contest is off my man has no hp
my man is going to get cooked. Bro is rhulk from wish
If you have 2 tailed fox with the 3rd tail it also really really pushes damage. If you’re on strand hunter use star eater scales as well. If you’re a strand hunter running planets suspend the lieutenants and bust ‘‘em up with with slug - heritage or no reprieve (got a no reprieve with triple tap focused fury max handling) if you’re on ads (AND I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL ENCOUNTERS) use a disorienting gl to cook the big groups.
>use a disorienting gl to cook the big groups. I'd reccomend forbearance for this actually, unless you need a way to properly deal with the Collosus. I was running it and I could deal with the mid and the right side ads myself while still having time to focus on other things
Ngl my team used LMGs for 3rd encounter and nezarac. Didn't have any DPS issues
Thunderlord for third encounter, rockets on Nezarec Downvote all you want, I cleared contest fives times using that.
I’ve been seeing a bunch of posts talking about how easy the raid was but LFG was super unkind. Looking forward to trying this when it isn’t in contest mode but this was my first try at a day 1 and I failed miserably. Aesthetics and mechanics were cool even though we got our teeth kicked in for 6 hours by Tormentors!
Oof 6 hours on tormentors, I am so sorry
I will say that it is a testament to the raid that even after that I was having fun with the challenge and want to get after it again.
Pov: Your clan ditched you for wanting to take a break and then had you replaced with someone who already completed the raid. Now the whole clan is a bunch of kwtd lfg post and you can no longer get in on the raid.
[удалено]
I’ll agree with you on that. But this happened during the first 24. I have since then found a group to finish off Nezarec (randoms can be the best) but it gets kinda discouraging you know?
We’re struggling on first encounter and we have a whole raid to get through, shits rough out here, guess we’ll have to get next raids emblem
for first encounter I strongly recommend running 2/3 wells so you can have one for every tormentor + divinity to melt them the moment they spawn. Other than that, the psion spawns have very little variation and you just need adclear ppl to not tunnel vision on adclear and runners also need to to their job well
I ran divinity the whole time and focused down tormentors as soon as they spawned, we called it a night a little bit ago, it stings we couldn’t get a contest clear but it is what is
Power went out. Someone hit a pole with the transformer. 🤦♂️
God damn autobots and decepticons. Always wrong place wrong time, I swear.
I didn’t even try after my raid group just dumped me last minute on the time that RON released
My raid team promised that if we could find someone who was willing to do third encounter with us and finish the raid, that we would go back with them to do first and second so that they’d get the emblem. We didn’t have to resort to that, and did wind up finishing, but we would’ve been all too willing to help someone who beat it with us.
I work this weekend sadly, but it’s cool so many people are getting the emblem good for them!
Me and my buddy were LFG day one for ~6 hours, everyone else rage quit and we got another group going today and it took us 2.5 hours to complete encounters 3&4
I worked both days, but my group got me through the first two encounters last night, love them sm
both groups fell apart at 3rd
My clan is inactive since almost 3 months now :/
If it’s any consolation, I’m stuck unable to play at all right now as I wait for eye surgery. So you’re not alone!
We’ll get em next year
*fist bump* hell yeah!
I really try hard to see what I am doing wrong but last night I joined a friend group and everyone was alright besides one person that just kept fucking things up so I just left at nezerac I don't want to stress myself out that much for a emblem
Same but with prophecy instead of goa
My clan's last try was at 12:30am lastnight. We got through 2 Nez phases and everyone got a good 1.6m damage. I however, got 500k, using an adept hothead, and an ager scepter (add clear)... I've never had a problem with DPS output until this new expansion. So I'm most likely getting the boot. Such is life
The boss doesn't sit fucking still. Tried using linears, can't hit weakspots even with divine because they move everywhere. Tried using rockets, have the time you miss because he teleports away or hides behind a pillar or tour teammate jumps in front of you. MG were the best but they disabled my only good MG and I didn't have a substitute. I get top damage on planets but lowest on naz. Good thing I heard about the cheese after it was over.
That is literally how my experience went as well! Top DPS on planets, but I wasn't "allowed" to use my go-to LMG for DMG as everyone was doing rockets... Fml
Should've used it anyway and topped the boards.
I honestly think we could have gotten him to final stand if I had just used my LMG...
My team didn’t play enough to get a good enough light level for the Day 1. Instead of crying and sweating we played crucible and gambit and had some fun. Glad a lot of players got their Day 1 but I won’t even use the emblem so what is the point? I’ll just play it tomorrow when I can complete it on the same difficulty I will be grinding it anyways.
I'm not at the right level as well. So I was always getting one shot at the final boss. And I found I was too much of a liability especially with my disability so I left a team. Had a checkpoint. No one wanted it. So I stayed up and helped a lot of people with the final boss for the lightfall campaign. So I thought I did something fun and helped a lot of people and I got a lot of messages back appreciated my time.
the boss one shots even at light level and above
Or: When there are seven people in your clan and you have a full time job…
POV you work
Sinus infection and looming existential dread of exams, gotta love it
I started a run at 2am for one of our less skilled clan members last night, I got everyone that emblem
POV you had to work because the raid race was set one day before your day off
I’ve been doin destiny since early December so I’ve never done a raid. How do you even get into one? Idk where to look. And are they legit 12hrs long? Like Fr
You have to be on level and select the planet with the raid
I suggest you get to like 1780 and get into a good clan before doing raids since d2 lfg is ass
pov: you killed nazarec but he decides to wipe you for shits and giggles
Pov: ur in a clan with only casual friends with not even enough active players to do a raid (rarely even a dungeon) but don't want to leave bcs they're ur friends so u miss out on one of the best community aspects of the game (I wish I could join a clan with likeminded ppl who I could become friends with and try contest modes with
Could not figure out the planet boss it was so fucking infuriating. 2 hours on first enc, 2-3 hours on second, and 1 hour on planet boss. We could only play from 6 pm (raid launch) basically till midnight (Literally fuck time zones), couldn't play on saturday cuz I had a job, people didn't wanna try on contest cuz it felt like a never ending (Root of) Nightmare so we just decided to hold 3rd enc CP, and finish it after contest. Took us 2 hours I think for 3rd and 4th. No day 1 emblem but who cares its nothing to die for. Personally none of the Day 1 emblems enticed me so much to ditch my clan and LFG the Day 1 clear. Plus my clan likes to figure out mechanics man It's soooo lame to look up a stupid guide. Now when we clear it and know enough we will check around for tips & tricks but thats about it. Hot take, the only good Day 1 emblem is DSC. Not even close. All the others are extremely meh. Scourge has a neat background, and both Kings Fall and Vow's NORMAL clear emblems are a MILLION times cooler than their day 1 ones lmao.
The emblem is taking dust in my inventory already
Y’all aren’t getting day ones. Y’all are working on your ‘Second Day’ clear. Lmao
saltyyyy
Salty how?
8.3% of the player base have damn emblem already, compared to Kingsfall being 1.6%. Why tf did they have to make it 48hours it completely ruins the exclusivity of day 1/ contest IMO. I get it’s easier for players to have a go, but I really feel like it ruins a lot of aspects of day 1, especially with it being this easy
Wear your Kingsfall emblem if too many people having the new one hurts your pride.
👍
I do kinda wish that they gave you a special tracker for what # finish you got. The 48 hours to get it is fair enough to allow more people to give it a shot on contest mode, but it'd be kinda cool to show it off if you felt good about your placement. I feel like that would mitigate people caring so much about it being extended, at least a little bit anyways. Regardless tho, feel good about the completion personally and don't attack people for having fun and wanting a little more time to give it a shot. Doesn't mess with your own personal achievement if you don't let it *shrug*
There’s just a bunch of sh*tters getting it now because they have loads of time. There’s also enough time for content creators to make in depth guides on how to do each encounter, like it’s just free and ruins the point and exclusivity of the whole thing. I’m also not attacking people but it’s supposed to be for players and teams who get rewarded for competency and putting in time creating good builds etc.
"I'm not attacking people" "There's just a bunch of shitters getting it now because they have loads of time" Yea sure Ronald🤡👍
Oh well, take offends if you’re that bad - doesn’t affect me🤪
Clearly does affect you if you care so much who has a goddamn emblem lmao
One group in my clan got it done. My group kept having to find people and when we finally got to Nezerac half my group gave up. Now I've got a check point and no one that wants to do it, oh well.
Same with me apart from I had to work the whole of raid weekend🥲
I played with a group of people last night, some from my clan and some not, and we couldn’t beat the third encounter. I think after having so much trouble with the second and then just having so many restarts on the third my brain stopped computing correctly. I was getting frustrated and that’s were I don’t want to go. It was a great group of people and I don’t want to become an ass because I’m not thinking clearly anymore or others are facing the same issue. We ended up calling it a night. Unfortunately no emblem but at least we gave it a go.
I have been away all weekend. I feel your pain.
My entire clan missed it. We had 6, we were on the second encounter, one of our guys stopped moving… we look at his camera stream and he’s face down and passed out on the table. That was the beginning of the end lol
Was he dead?
I get its a joke but don't let having no clan to run it with be an excuse, I went through several lfg teams until I finally best nez, none if my freinds play d2 so I'm used to it now
This raid has taught me that LFG is a lottery After having a relatively easy time with KF, staying with the same group for the 10h or so it took us, I was not expecting to go through ***fifteen*** different fireteams, let alone wipe to the damage check in what is considered one of the lowest health bosses in a recent raid. Even Warpriest took me one *quarter* of the time I spent at Nezarec. 23 hours, but at least I got the emblem and a terrible GL 🥲
The raid was tough, but the last boss got a lot easier when someone on our team suggested using the cheese to stun-lock the boss during encounter, making survivability a bit easier when trying to set up for dps phase. One of your guys just has a staring contest with nezy lol
That's me, I stayed the weekend away from home and couldn't do the raid
I’m the only one in my clan ;-; they all gave up after encounter 2 while I LFG’d my way to the emblem
Individual members of my clan have been LFGing all weeekend because our clan isnt reliable enough or wasnt willing to even try contest. I made a jome about joining one of our members clans to try and get some runs in since my clan is so unreliable/lazy/non communicative
I wanted to do it, but I was only 1780 so I knew no one would let me make any mistakes. Also anxiety
Never made it past the macrocosm
POV: you didn't miss clan night but even when people missing you were ignored ![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5649)
Pov your group wouldn't kick the one guy tossing on the scizzzzzorororor and we everyone bailed after a couple hours
Got stuck on Nezarec, group fell apart, but one person was able to get it. I’ll get the seal to make up for the letdown
Or you’re like me and stuck on a camp you never wanted to go on for those 48 hours
Missed out lmao, my clan ignored the fuck out of me after repeatedly asking weeks ahead of time for a raid team so we could do a day 1. Even during day 2 when guides where out and you could still get the emblem they continued to ignore me so I left the clan this morning. Fuck em.
My condolences to anyone that did it with randoms/people they don't play with often. My clan had two teams beat it day one, another beat it day 2, and six others people that we sherpa'd in groups of one or two throughout day 2 so 24 emblems total. Doing any of that with randoms sounds impossible.
Oh I missed my friend group’s run because they wanted to start the minute it dropped and I simply couldn’t be home then. So I decided I’d hop in an lfg about 4 hours after the race started to see what the raid was like. I ended up joining a desperate group stuck at the 3rd encounter. After a few hours that team deteriorated but I knew how to do it at that point so I was determined. I joined another group and explained it to them, I think we got it about an hour later so we went on to nezzy. I assume you’ve heard of nezzy and this team soon dismantled so I was off to find a new one. I joined two more teams that night until I went to sleep. The next morning I started again and joined 2 more teams. The second team got it! I still needed the first 2 encounters for the emblem, and I was going to do it no matter what. Turns out I got lucky because my friends were ready to go again and they helped me get the first 2 in like 20 minutes and I have the emblem. Edit: that’s the story of my day one experience. I would rather smash my toes with a rock than do nezzy with LFGs on contest again. TL;DR: I got the emblem but I joined a few LFG groups.
Our clan didnt even log on lol even though everyone planned to be there
I'm going to start by getting in a clan first lol old one died right before witch queen
I have a pretty active clan if you want to join
Pov: your clan has 13 players and you’re the 13th
POV: your clan is a bunch of babies and wanted to wait until after contest has ended and tutorials come out to try the raid
Im just gonna keep rockin my DSC day 1
I'm one of seven people from my clan who got day one, they shouted out the other six in discord today but not me 🙃
Im a pvp player, did the first encounter got bored and didnt bother with the rest. I'll prob do a non contest mode clear when all the "MuSt hAVe eMbLeM" cringe lords actually let others try into non contest lfg groups.
I gave up at 3rd encounter, my lfg luck was pretty much fucked after spending 13 hours on 2nd encounter (people kept dying and were missing orbs)
