The confirmation from Bungie came only nine-hours after the launch of the Vow of the Disciple, which is made especially impressive with theconnectivity issuesDestiny 2’s new raidfaced when it released. Considering that some more casual clans can take days to complete their first attempts on some ofDestiny’s raids, even with guides to walk them through the puzzles, single-digit hours is quite impressive. Adding to this incredible feat is the fact that the winning clan, Elysium, had already previously won the World First for theBeyond Lightexpansion’s raid, Deep Stone Crypt.
Even though the race may have been mired by select issues after the launch of Vow of the Disciple, many of the players who participated commented on the quality of the puzzles and fights they faced. One example comes from Elysium member Saltagreppo, who claims that the final boss of the raid was one of the best experiences fromDestiny 2so far. So, it appears that the players participating in this race have a great deal of appreciation for Bungie and the work that went into designing these encounters that act as the cap forThe Witch Queenexpansion.
With the skill that Elysium is bringing to these World First races, it’s entirely possible that this back-to-back streak of victories could continue into whatever Bungie gets prepared for the next raid. For now, the rest of the player base can take sometips on preparing for Vow of the Disciplefrom Elysium’s victory and strive for their own attempts atDestiny 2’s newest raid.
