    ​@@ExistentialReignyeah but most raids you can't solo every encounter and all the ones you can rely on glitches to bypass mechanics. The Root of Nightmares solo does not require any glitches at all to bypass mechanics. Also a lot of the raids that are theoretically soloable start to finish haven't been completed start to finish in 1 run because either they rely on insane RNG. The point is not that the solo is easy, but the raid itself is so easy 1 person can do every single mechanic with no glitches. Bungie really put lackluster mechanics that require little to no team coordination in a raid.

    I love to see the way you move in the raid, its just so smooth. But even more i think the commentary is even better, it is nice to hear the viewpoint of a top player on raids. Overall i think bungie has to balance between the challenge and accessability of the raids, the development cost is not insignificant for a raid and it has to be able to gather for a sizeable audience of the player playing the game. For me the balance of making a raid that is easy enough so you can lfg through it, but also offers the possibility of low-mans is the right way to go. It will not gater to the absolute peak of the playerbase pyramid, because in order to add that much challenge, it would mean that the wider audience would just not be able to manage it. In order to make raids that rely more on communication, the communication channels would need to work better. The recent problems with the voice chat are pretty bad and since i play on a timezone where there is a really varied language base, it is always not that easy to get a lfg group of 6 together that all could communicate in a sufficient level to pass a communication intensive encounter.

    On the topic of everyone having a role, I wonder if they just plan to have that be the expectation for master challenges and have the base normal raid be more approachable. For example, in both master nezerac and warpriest challenges they require almost everyone doing something or else the team will wipe. This isn't to say that is should be that way, but it could just be the reality we live in now to get as many players in the door as possible.

    I think given bungies 3 and 3 philosophy (3 on mechanics, 3 on ads) i think you make a boss encounter that with mimium effort to get to damage can be 5 phased (push enrage back 1 phase). However, the mechanic team can do some extra mechanics to increase the damage output during DPS and the ads team can slay out under a timer to increase to dps time. That way teams are incentivized to maximize their role and contribute to optimal DPS time. Bungie gets to keep the ease of access for newbies (everyone can get to damage) while giving veterans a challenge to strive for (everyone is firing on all cylinders to get a 1-2 phase)

    Your perspective on mechanical dufficulty was awesome to hear. I wonder though is one of the reasons Bungie doesnt make mechanically challenging raids anymore is because of the technical limitations of the game. I cant speak from experience since I didnt play d2 vanilla, I came in after Forsaken, but how often did old raids bug or mechanics juat not work because of a game error. For all of the day 1 problems post shadowkeep raids are decently stable, especially compared to other parts of the game.

    The complex encounters were pretty stable, or if there was a bug it was easy to avoid by simply doing the encounter correctly. Almost every “bug” is someone doing something wrong.

    complex mechanics work fine, its jsut because players are dummies and cant do it right.
