Bungie has revealed the launch of the upcoming raid in Destiny 2: “The Final Shape”. Normally, this creates excitement, but this time players are shocked. The launch date is set too soon.
When will the upcoming Day One start? Bungie has revealed new TWiD (This Week in Destiny) information regarding “The Final Shape”. The upcoming DLC is said to retain many aspects from the “Into the Light” update while losing some.
However, the most important information is the start date of the upcoming raid. It is scheduled to start on June 7 at 7 PM German time. Those who enjoy participating in challenges like the “World First” will be exhaling angrily now, as you will only have 3 days to prepare.
“No one will sleep this week”
What do players say about the short preparation time? Many are astonished. “The Final Shape” represents the last major DLC regarding the Darkness and Light saga. This will hopefully conclude the story that long-time players have been following for 10 years. If Bungie gives players only three days to prepare for the Day One raid, they won’t even be able to enjoy the story.
With every major DLC, many things change, and the meta gets turned upside down. Understanding the new sandbox, as well as equipping your Guardian with the most important items in such a short time is unfair. Even the long-time Destiny YouTuber “Aztecross” reacted to the announcement with the following response:
Bungie wants us to face the potentially hardest raid they have ever created. We have to be raid-ready, we need to understand the new sandbox, damage testing – BUNGIE WHY!? WHY!? Wait, wait, wait […] come on folks, are you okay with this? Do you want this? […] I would like a week and a few more days to gather myself and understand the new sandbox before going into the raid. Man, you will have a lot of pissed-off fireteams. […] No one will sleep this week.

How much time did players have in older raids? Older raids allowed Guardians more time. In regard to the recent raid “Roots of Nightmares”, Guardians had 10 days of preparation. For “Curse of the Fallen” it was 11 days, and for “Deep Stone Crypt” it was also 11 days.
So there was enough time to enjoy the new story, farm the appropriate gear, and build setups, but cramming everything that could have been accomplished in over a week into 3 days is tight and nerve-racking. The last known raid that allowed Guardians three days to prepare was the Last Wish raid, but that was considered the hardest raid ever and pushed many teams to the brink of madness.
What do you think about the 3-day preparation time for the new Day One raid? Are you ready, or do you find it unfair? Let us know in the comments!
