Day 1 Raiding - I want to start by prefacing this is a selfish post on my WFR experience, where I cover a few topics in no particular order. If you don’t care about that then don’t interact. (1) This race proved how important it was to have multiple characters prepared for the WFR, and frankly there was just so much to do and test in such a little amount of time. In my opinion less then a week between a DLC launch and a WFR should never happen again in the future, if this is how the racing meta is going to continue. (2) This WFR was my least favourite competitive experience i’ve had in any video game. My team went from pioneering the final boss (on stream) to being soft locked on it for hours before WF was achieved, completely ending any chance we had to win. When you realise that the environmental glitch we were experiencing that caused us to soft lock happened to no other team and transferred between our instances, it makes me question why I spend so much time prepping for such an uncompetitive game. I personally have an all or nothing attitude when it comes to racing in this game and I could care less about a placement other then worlds first. Knowing that this chance of WF was ripped away from us is heartbreaking and makes me wonder why I donate so much time to competing in a game riddled with bugs and glitches. Sadly, IF Bungie ends up acknowledging this all they can really say is We’re Listening due to the nature of raid racing so I hope if anything this can just show how important stuff like this is and how upsetting it is to experience. The video attached to this tweet is showing the environment glitch happening pull after pull, all before worlds first. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. (3) On another note, It was good to see less teams blacking their screens out, and I had a mostly positive experience doing this which i went over in another tweet yesterday. However I still think bungie needs to enforce some ruling in order for races to balance viewer experience and competition well. (4) Since i started doing WFR’s in RoN my personal experience day 1 raiding has been pretty awful behind the scenes. I think this is important to address because it shows how uninviting the WFR community is. I’ve always stayed in my own lane and tried my best not to get involved in community drama, but myself and my team seem to always get witch-hunt by other teams which is really sad to think that this is a consistent experience i’ve had since i started competing. (5) Lastly, I want to congratulate my passion boys for their win and note that this tweet isn’t to devalue their win, but to highlight some issues with this WFR and Day 1 raiding in general. They were in the lead the whole race and truely deserved this win more than anyone. This will probably be my last Destiny tweet for a while, and i’m not sure if I will continue racing yet.
