In the luxury MMO Destiny, the first raid, “The Vault of Glass”, was defeated for the first time after 14 hours.
As vg247 reports, the first raid of Destiny on Venus, “The Vault of Glass”, withstood the onslaught of trigger-happy Guardians for just under 14 hours. The 6-man group “PrimeGuard” managed to clear the raid. They received a nod, a pat on the back and congratulations from Bungie on Twitter, along with an invitation to try it now on Hard Mode.
Raids in Destiny follow a similar pattern to raids in World of Warcraft and other MMORPGs. Players have the opportunity to defeat bosses in a raid and fill their bags with rare loot. The raid can also be spread over multiple evenings within a week: Progress in Destiny raids is saved. A prerequisite for this is that the leader, the fire leader, remains the same.
While in most MMOs, raids on normal difficulty can be solved without problems right from the start, the hard versions often pose a challenge even for professional players until tactics are clear, equipment is optimized, and processes are refined. It remains to be seen how the guys from PrimeGuard will perform in Hard Mode.
In this video, you won’t see PrimeGuard at work, but another group struggling with the last boss in the Vault of Glass:
