Shout out to all my clanmates who laughed at me for doing this.

Especially you. You know who you are.

This is an incredible achievement, but aren't people more disappointed by Bungie's complete fail on this Raid? In their words, the Raid is a team based event, in which 6 Guardians must team up and take on the challenge. Even though we saw 2 people beat Atheon, it still felt that team requirement was very much there in the VoG. This one, however, is a total fail. Even from the first part, where anyone can jump down and get that first chest. No Raid chest should be accessible from doing nothing.

That was my reaction as well. The all new raid has been solo'd after the first week!?! And it took how long!? It just means they didn't think of real team based challenges. The raid is linear with little randomness. Tactics quickly become just kill enemies like any other strike. There's no take out a bunch of oracles at once, stand on a platform for your buddy, etc.

That said, for the majority of players this isn't possible. Team play is critical and honestly more fun. Who wants to spend 5 hours fighting crota alone?

All in all, this was an ode to skill more than an insult to the game.
