The new revamped Trials of Osiris has proven successful, as it's already Destiny 2's most populated weekend ever.
Among the various things revealed in Destiny 2: Into the Light, I don't think any of them beat the speculation Pantheon received. The unexpected raid boss - IS
Whether it's entering a zen state during DPS or the rush of dopamine on its completion, Destiny 2's Raids excels in multiplayer teamwork.
The raids are one of the reasons I quit Destiny. You stand in a circle and shoot at a triangle on a wall, have to restart a half dozen times, and then hope the random reward blesses you. Then you realize you aren’t’ having fun but instead are doing a lot of work for nothing. Back when Destiny was at its peak population, trophy data showed that less than 5% of players ran the raid.
Players had high expectations for Destiny’s latest content drop, Destiny 2: Into the Light. Not only did it have to live up to other content added due to a delay, it needed to give players faith the conclusion of the Light and Dark Saga will be worthwhile. - IS
Onslaught is certainly a lot of fun. Plus it's nice having a wide array of extremely useful weapons to grind for.
Yes, with the exception that nobody will play with you if you don't have experience on the raid, so the question is how do you get experience?
I mean yeah. There's matchmaking now so no duh. Sure if you queue solo you may(will) get 3x stacked, but for most people being able to matchmake and not have to plan around to setup a fireteam is enough reason for people to queue. Hopefully they add Freelance to it in the future.
