The destiny community was set to take on the Final Shapes raid Salvations Edge and this one was special. With the Final Shape, the Destiny community had to truly race to get ready for the raid as there were only 3 days to prepare and within those three days, 1 of them had some severe server issues. The DLC had plenty of wild moments in the first two weeks since its launch, but the newest raid and the Day 1 race has definitely been the craziest part of the Final Shape so far. This was the longest Day 1 raid race in Destiny history, even beating out the infamous Last Wish, and the raid was so difficult that only one team managed to beat it within 24 hours. The race itself was tense, nerve-wracking…and an absolute blast to watch. My good friend and housemate cb gray and I were lucky enough to host one of the most riotous RaidZones that we’ve ever experienced, even if we were completely dead by the end of it. Over 2 million of you total tuned in and on my end, almost 47k people were watching live.. So from the bottom of my heart thank you and I look forward to pushing the envelope for creator events even further. The story of this race has twists and turns. Guardians across the world sat down in their tens of thousands to watch the best raiders that this game has produced over ten years attempt to clear the most difficult raid that Bungie’s ever made. Heavyweight champions duked it out, some formed super teams, and others kept their runs to a more private viewing experience. The stakes were high, the emotions were higher, and it was clear for all to see that this raid was the true pinnacle of challenge. Without further ado, welcome to Salvations Edge, the story that just kept giving.

This raid reminded me of the quote from Orin back in Season of the Drifter when she spoke about how we are different because we can "leave the game". Similarly, Elsie chose to stay in our timeline because our Guardian was somehow different in this timeline. I believe it is perfectly represented in the Verity encounter as the only way to win is to spectate other Guardians while dead; something the Witness could never have planned for. I absolutely love how breaking the 4th wall is our key to victory.

Respect to Redeem for not muting their comms, actually really enjoyed watching Sweat during the race.

[@VAwitch]

Sweat, Gladd & Leopard were 3 of them I watched that didn't mute comms. I think Kackis might have muted comms, but kept video going. Because Gladd didn't go black-screen, I subscribed to his channel. I didn't mind muted comms, because a lot of info is given verbally + text chat. I DO have a problem w/ signing up for a streaming event that makes you money for streaming... and you give viewers Blackout. They should have either not signed up for TR (like Parabellum did not), or ended their streams.

[@gazzacfc2010]

Yeah I agree, there were streamers hitting back at people online who complained about black screening, people have a choice whether to watch but streamers should not be allowed to sign up to twitch rivals and gain the money from viewership emblems unless they are showing the full race.

I understand why they mute the comms, because thats the place everyone strategizes, but i dont think that its neccesary to block the entire screen, because you would need to watch all team member screens at the same time to understand the encounter and even then there will be a lot of chaos.

[@guccixlubricant6466]

I think its because most of these teams have a "coach" that watches the other streams and informs them on what the other teams are trying and what fails or succeeds. So they black out the stream to prevent this. That's my guess. I'm not saying I like it kinda pointless to stream a raid when 90% of the time you aren't seeing the raid itself.

[@gasad01374]

no you wouldnt have to watch the entire team, less than a minute after ATP unblocked their screen on witness fight, another team was already watching and calling out every single thing they did, everything they tried, everything they got wrong and everything they got right. literally less than 60 seconds before another top teams streamer was stream sniping live and calling out strats. stream sniping is bannable on twitch btw lol. just 1 person watching 1 other persons stream gained them a massive advantage as it gave them hours worth of ATPs legitimately learned info 1 5 minute attempt

Don't forget that during the Day 1 of the Last Wish, almost everyone was underlight compared to the mobs and bosses. So theoretically, if during Last Wish players were the right light level, the raid would've been completed much, much faster. This makes Salvation's Edge even crasier of a raid

This raid was surely something else. When Raid launched, at 7pm CEST for me, my clanmates and i went in istantly. Yet, we spent 4 hours into the first encounter, yet we had no idea what we were doing. Around the 6 hours mark, i had to close for the next morning i had to work, so i closed at 1 am, went to sleep, woke up at 6 am for i had a shift at 7 am. My clanmates closed alongside me, for they still had no idea what to do and had to close as well. Morning went by, yet i was still following the raid race, in fact at 10 am i opened twitch, and saw how people were still racing (thanks for the Raid Zone event btw, Evan!). At 1 pm, i finished my shift, went home, booted up my pc, tuned up on Raid Zone while making lunch.. I was so focused on watching the race (people reached the Witness, but we couldnt see stuff since most of the players started covering their screen), yet it was a moment so tense, i even cutted myself while cooking. The idea that it took longer than Last Wish, that only one team beat it under the 24 hours mark, the Excision activity... This raid is peak Destiny.

[@elmaster611]

About the muting comms and hiding screens: It makes sense why they do it and I support the fact that they're so competitive they want to get every little advantage they can get, however, if they're going to straight up full mute and completely hide the screen for hours, they might as well just not stream at all, heck, I think that might be more beneficial to them just because their PC doesn't have to handle the stream on top of the game and discord

[@KakamileRS]

You got free emblems and tracking and you didn't have to watch

[@HyperionStudios]

I get it, and partially agree, but part of me wants to believe that because Parabellum didn't have a public stream going; that allowed them to focus more on the Raid itself than stressing about giving away nuggets of information to competitors. That's not to discredit the skill of any of the teams, but I think when you don't have to worry about other teams ever knowing you're in the race, that you can focus more on what's important.

[@matsuu4203]

Find it very weird for the D2 community to react like this when this has been the common norm for any other mmos in raid races, the only reason WoW streams their world race is because the top teams get heavily sponsored and paid to do so.

[@ghostlyrazgriz5228]

The point about hiding comms, buffs and screens. I think sweatcicle's point about redeem never hiding comms in their world firsts is valid. They just shared important info in discord.

[@blizzard2733]

4th encounter can be simplified even further for inside too, you just hand everyone their original shape, then from left to right they hand out their shapes to the other 2 people, so if it was tcs, left side would have 2 triangles after everyone hands the statues their symbols. Then after everyone has their own shapes, you triangle would hand it to middle and right, then middle and right side would hand everyone else their statues shape(to avoid overloading the right side with shapes, there is a 3 shape limit). then you just grab your shapes and exit.

My take on the screen covering is that unfortunately that is just the state raid racing has to be in now that every team has "coaches" that spy on other teams to help figure the mechanics out. In my opinion the race should be about who can figure out the raid and beat it the fastest, on their own, with no "coaching." But that kind of honor system is impossible with everyone streaming. And so the event has devolved into what it is now and I dont see any way that it's gonna change 😕

[@greenlukesky4615]

You mentioned wanting selectable difficulties for raids and bringing back contest mode as an option. I’ve talked about this with my clan members for a long time, and some of the ideas we have cooked up include the following. 1) (highly unlikely) alternate contest emblem. You give an emblem that is similar to the contest emblem (like colored variant) or just an entirely new emblem (bungie can cook emblems up, see pantheon) to push some people to go get it, with a triumph being added for each raid. 2) artifice raid armor with bad roll protection, meaning members can select a stat focus for the raid and the game will guarantee 62-ish + armor on any armor drop. 3) raid weapons will be fully enhanced adept weapons with randomly dropped perks. If the perks are bad, it will drop good masterwork mats and if it is good, it’s a keepable weapon. 4) lastly, each encounter clear drops a bunch of materials (once per week or something to prevent farming easier encounters) like 2-4 ascendent alloys or shards plus some other drops along the same line.

WE EDGING THE WITNESS WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣

[@s.r.gtoumak7282]

Funny how you shared a clip of the Archimonde fight in regards to mechanics v. execution of raids. I was a Mythic raider in late WoD/early Legion, and I remember that fight kickin' my team's arse. I always thought it was weird/lame how when we did a new raid in WoW, the mechanics were already -known-, and we just had to learn when and where to stand while maintaining a near perfect rotation of our class abilities. Going from that playstyle to the Destiny raid scene was total whiplash, to be sure. I think I prefer Destiny raiding for that reason, as it feels much more rewarding to problem solve then to forced to be perfect, even if you only get that dopamine on the first clear, it's long-lasting. Hell, I still get goosebumps reflecting to my team clearing Rhulk at the 22h mark. That said, this raid was a wonderful combination of problem solving and execution, something we've only really seen in Destiny once before (being LW obviously), mad props to the teams that cleared it.

[@alejandrotellez2962]

For some it ain't even their real job, it's just extra money since most competitive players in destiny don't have a viewerbase large enough to sustain themselves. Now, if you win and do something with it then you become as large as Gladd or Sweat are now after they won LW, if not, then you become like salt who didn't go that route.

I simply respect those who stream start to finish, more than those who hid comms and blacked screens. Those who valued their community over their "advantage" are the best. In MY perfect world, all the world's first teams would have to figure the raid out between themselves and wouldn't have to worry about other teams stream sniping info for an advantage, but I know this is too much to expect, so good on those who didn't let it bother them.

[@Fadaar]

I think my favorite part was the post raid video we see before Excision. The 6 guardians who got the world first are now, quite literally, part of the lore. Of course they couldn't model them in to a pre rendered cutscene but if Bungie could have found a way to do it they would.

[@schnauzer2432]

Jesus christ its called hyping yourself and the team up professional teams in any medium say shit like this all the time. They were just on one encounter for literally ages and they were aware that teams were ahead of them morale was down so one member says something like this to help everyone's mental.

[@plagueful]

I think hiding screens is annoying because the raid race is supposed to be watched and with knowledge of cheating in the past being a thing (kings fall) players should be forced to keep screens shown but be allowed to mute coms. I mean hell for as long as the raid was too there was devs watching and man it wasn’t entertaining seeing just face cams or a s**t post on my screen for them to only turn it back on when the encounter is done

[@BailyC295]

Facts. I also hate when Evan and CB defend them by using the “Football game, clip board covering the mouth” example because it doesn’t make sense. In this case you can’t see anything at least in a football game you can still watch the football game 😂

"An absolute blast to watch" when all of the tems blacked out their screens. What a fucking joke. I'm so glad that a non-streamer team got the win, as soon as I heard I tuned in waiting for saltagreppo to cry

[@meikl777]

u are salty that teams cover their screens yet celebrate that a team that didnt show ANYTHING won? Thats some weird logic if u ask me Imagine NO team would stream, would you prefer that over how it is now? in sports like football the headcoaches talk over headsets to their coaching staff and then communicate it to the players, even going so far to cover their mouths so no one can lipread, are u crying over this as well? Its just competitive behaviour and thats fine

​@@meikl777 Streaming but still muting/hiding the screen is trying to have your cake and eat it too. Either be competitive or try to get attention, trying to do both at the same time just makes you a loser.

@@meikl777 Parabellum also didn't sign up for a *streaming event*, either. If you don't want to stream your progress, don't sign up for an event like TwitchRivals.

Shout out to Redeem for being the only major team not to cover screens/ mute streams. Everyone else soft af it’s about the viewing experience just as much as the race

[@VAwitch]

I subscribed to Gladd as a thank you for not going dark. I wouldn't have minded muted comms, but blank screens seem to be against the spirit of signing up for a streaming *event*.

[@JesusMartinez-xv8if]

No it ain’t. It’s a competitive race first and foremost. They mute n black screen because Some of these teams take that seriously. None of them *have to* stream it. And if they do, it’s at their discretion, not yours. Don’t like it, either play the raid or watch someone else. Everyone’s got their own approach, be conscious of that

[@alejandrotellez2962]

So then they shouldn't have streamed, that simple. They're trying to make easy money since their viewerbase is pretty miniscule, instead of making better content. There is a reason that Gladd and Sweat didn't mute or hide screen, cause they have viewers that enjoy watching them and not just the game. ​@JesusMartinez-xv8if

My favorite part of the raid race was watching a black screen, a blurred screen, and a face cam for the last 6 hours of the race. Incredibly riveting

[@PancakeChef5]

Honestly the only way to actually watch the raid race was through you on twitch. Everyone being on no comms makes sense from a strategy perspective, but as a viewer, it’s just unwatchable. I watch these streamers for their commentary 90% of the time, and hearing nothing is a slap in the face.

[@sunlitstream2647]

My opinion on hiding sceens comms etc. It’s super annoying and sucks some of the fun from watching. BUT As someone who does a lot of raiding and has participated in Day 1’s I completely understand. This is a race, no prize for second place. All it takes is one person on another team to notice you do something different from them, put one part of a mechanic together and if they can execute it, well say bye to your lead or even 1st place. This was the hardest day 1 ever, hats off to Bungie and the 6 legends that cleared in the first 24 hrs
