I'll be raiding on PS3, if anyone else is down.

Yeah, as someone (and I know chrisksaint can back me up here, as can some others perhaps) who deals with the random raid groups in WoW (different genre, sure, same crowds)... spending hours with them would be absolutely horrid trying to get anything meaningful accomplished.

Think of this as a blessing in disguise if you're unhappy about it.

I'll be raiding on the Xbox One. A good idea to do is join the OS group on bungie.net because some achievements/trophies include completing raids and strikes with a group.

Have to say now and then I like to take a weekend night off and just vegetate. Sounds like the raid will be perfect for that.

Thanks for that. I'll be signing up this evening.

I think most of you guys are missing the whole point here. In MMO's there are instances (Destiny Strikes) and Raids (Called the same in Destiny).

The strikes can be played with in matchmaking and can take anywhere from 20 minutes to a hour. You can still earn the currency that you can use to buy legendary gear and everything as well in these modes.

Raids are much much harder. In MMO's there are a lot of people that dont even participate in them because of the skill gap and gear gap that is dependent on them. Mostly its guilds that organize these missions and go in using lots and I mean lots of teamwork to even get past certain parts. They can take hours.

So if you cant play long or have a busy schedule then you dont want to be playing in Raids anyway. Those of you that are complaining about it this is the way general MMO's are set up.

PS4 for me btw.

Possible, maybe even likely. BUT not necessarily. Apples to oranges I know; but raids in just about every other MMO (this is not an MMO, just an analogy for raids) give you the option to group up with other individuals also looking to participate in the same activity via some sort of group finder or matchmaking.

Why deny that option? Of course it'd be ideal, and more fun with friends or guild mates. But not everyone has that option. Not saying the devs need to cater to every individual need, I just don't see any legitimate reason to leave it out. Seems kind of meh to me… outside of not having it EXACTLY how 1 person in the dev team saw it, why deny people an opportunity at what is supposed that be the most epic portion of their game?

I think they'll come around and add it.
