I wish we could get more missions like Preservation, & by that I mean missions that let players explore Raid locations without having to do the Raid.
I've done a few Raids. Done Vault of Glass twice, as well as both Deep Stone Crypt & Vow of the Disciple once each, & gotten up to Oryx in King's Fall. And I've got to say I don't enjoy doing Raids & it's unfortunate.
Maybe things will be better when the new LFG system drops later this year, but the Raids are generally unpleasant. Whether it's the difficulty in getting a full team & keeping it together, the several hours it can take to get through the entirety without stopping to appreciate things, or just the general atmosphere of being stuck with unpleasant players or players so high above you that you feel like a Newb again, in general they aren't that appealing.
That's why I enjoyed the Preservation mission so much. It gave me & others the opportunity to explore some, though not all, of Rhulk's ship in the Throne World, to find secrets & uncover lore in a way that helped me appreciate the Rhulk better & feel more engaged with the story. I wish we could get more missions like this, where players could explore the Deep Stone Crypt, the Vault of Glass, the Witness's ship, & other Raid locations without the pressure of 5 other people & a timeline to hurry up.
Bungie, think you can develop some more missions like this going forward so we can get more people to see what you've made?

Preservation was cool one time. It then sucked to become the pinnacle you had to run weekly. No thanks. The 3 rotating special missions they did this time where way better.
-
Do root of nightmares, for most of the raid its just 2 runners and everyone else just kill -blam!-
-
Idk why your idea gets sh*t on tbh. Its a pretty good idea. I would even push the idea further with the creation of solo versions of raids,less mechanic heavy ofc and easier. So even players who never raid can experience raids, to understand the lore as well (especially since raids tends to be a conclusion to dlc's) But ofc the loot wouldnt be raid loot. Either new loot pool or just pinnacle rewards.

Preservation was universally hated so I think bungie ditched that idea
-
TRUST. You're going to get more missions like this lol. Reused Assets, the game, will make sure that is the case. Fear not.
-
New & returning players still cant do preservation as its missing from the director, i had to try for 2 weeks to get someone to load me in to it but not before a few trolls would jump in then just to load me into random activities instead and then bail.
-
You guys really will do anything apart from run the raids lmao. Just look it up on youtube if you don't want to run it again.
-
I agree100%
-
If they adjusted them to reduce the mechanics based on fireteam size, but having to pick up 3 sets of objects at 3 or 4 points while escorting the barge just became too tedious solo that I stopped bothering with it last year even if it was an easy Pinnacle otherwise.
-
Just make your own posts? Or join posts that just say chill. Also if you expect people to just stop and look around idk what you are expecting, people have time as well. You can do all this yourself, Raids have matchmaking already its just a utter failure since people always wanna be carried.

That's a you problem buddy
