 What's going on guys, welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here. Today I want to give you guys my honest opinion on the Prestige Raid. And you guys know me, I won't hold back if needs be. There are questions you guys have asked me, which I will hopefully answer in today's video. And after playing the Raid for the most part, there's a question I still have. Also we will talk about the fact that the guys who got worlds first actually used a glitch and exploit, but we'll talk about that at the end of the video. But before we get into these people, do you want to win some epic loot? If so, stay tuned until the very end to find out how. Also it's important to mention that any bashing I do from here on forward is out of love for the game and franchise. Most people assume if you bash something you should just move on and play different games, but it isn't quite as easy as that when you spend years playing a franchise. Also people think either you get paid by Bungie to promote or hype their game, or you are either a hater for pointing out the flaws in the game. Well I don't get paid by Bungie although I wish I did and I certainly do not hate the game or nor do I hate Bungie. They have done many many things which have changed my life for the better. I just want to see this game become the game we all wanted to be prior to the release of it and that is that. The thing is this game is great in many many aspects up until you reach that top level of a 3 or 5. What actually happens then? You literally have zero things to play for. So let's talk about the first stage raid. Why is actually the point of this thing? Is there any point to it? Well okay, so the changes to this raid, what's actually different? Well not much to be honest, besides a few mechanics. The dogs have an extra spawn into their area which you will have to take out and the dogs circulate a different path to what they did in that normal mode. The gauntlets here things can be a little difficult as you can't have two set runners for all three rounds. As players can't run twice you have to switch it up. You also get extra sirens in their forcefuels which spawn in the surrounding area to the cymbal plate just cooled out and you have to deal with them otherwise you die. The bathing part, this can be done as normal up until you get to the centre where you have to shoot those glass bars if thingy thingy is hanging from the ceiling. After this each person will see a different cymbal. That cymbal is the platform you will have to run to to start the next rotation otherwise again you die and that's basically it. Some callus, you do this as normal until the other round comes into play where people call out the cymbals. The guy outside who kills, the side on whose cymbal is not cooled out will then be teleported randomly with one person inside the round. And that person inside the round will be teleported out and then you continue on and that is about it. I mean yes some of these mechanics are really good mechanics and definitely challenging but even when you complete the raid what do you get? The armor you get is just re-skinned normal raid armor with a few glowy bits and it's a different colour and that's about it people. So let's compare the good to the bad. Good, the raid is definitely a challenge for the most part. Ads hit harder, they take more damage and the mechanics are great. Definitely offers more of a challenge for sure and if that's what you seek then yes the raid is amazing and the best thing in Destiny 2 for a challenge. But if the hard mode challenge is not what you play for and you want that epic high level end game loot will it kind of disappoints? All you get from this is that standard raid armor with little changes. There isn't even a slight increase to power which in my opinion Bungie missed out on. Adding even an extra 5 power to your level which would only be obtainable from this raid would have been something worth playing it for. But nope, armor level is the exact same as what you can get from Blues nowadays and as far as I know no weapons have changed at all. So this raid in all honesty for me offers nothing worth playing it for besides a challenge. And although I do say challenge, Worlds first did it in an hour. Obviously wasn't a challenge for them. Bungie in my opinion missed out on a major opportunity for the game with this prestige raid. When in fact all they have given us is basically a reskin raid with reskin rewards which is a true shame in my opinion. Chasing a higher level and being that top level is the main thing many many people play for. Most are already that top level so in reality this raid offers nothing for their progression as a guardian. Which I'm guessing we will get in future DLC which just shouldn't be the case. So in my opinion this raid is a complete waste of time for me anyway. Nothing to be gained from doing it which I believe is definitely a first for Destiny when it comes to hard mode versions of their raids. So yeah, a big disappointment in my opinion. So onto Worlds first. Worlds first completing a raid where a team called Redeem. They did it in a little over an hour which is incredible in my opinion. Thing is and there's been an uproar about it, they used an exploit to do this. You guys know the dubious body war cliff glitch where you can literally feel any heavy you have by simply switching from the war cliff. As long as it's got one shot left in it to any other heavy and it will completely fill that heavies ammo clip and reserves. They actually used this at Kallus with Bungie I believe watching them do it and were still crowned Worlds first. Now to me ain't an issue and to be honest they were robbed out of Worlds first in the past which was something out of their hands. And to be honest the exploit is still in the game and hasn't been removed by Bungie and that isn't their fault either. Yes they had a choice to use the exploit and they took that choice. To me I honestly do not care chasing Worlds first is something I couldn't care less about. I played the game for fun and that's about it. But how do you feel about them basically using this exploit to get Worlds first? Do you think this should be stripped of it? Let me know down below at the end of the day they need to have a choice to use this exploit or not. They took that choice and used it and were still crowned Worlds first. Can blame Bungie though for the most part as they left this exploit in the game. But they did say in a recent update that they've got a sort of system in place which can track whether you do it legitimately or not. Obviously referring to the no ads Kallus glitch as that's still in the game also. But at the end of the day it's all done now and they've been crowned Worlds first. But like I said let me know how you feel about this down below within that comments section. And on that note guys I am out.
