Only played the first mission so far (on legendary difficulty of course) but I'm a big fan of the art direction and tone they're going for. Reminds me of D1. How the fuck is this the same game as Lightfall tonally? Imagine someone going straight from the lame Nimbus storyline into TFS' campaign. So weird.
Big fan of whatever they did to the audio too. The mix is incredible compared to what it was ~30 hours ago and all the guns sound so much better.

I've some comments of the cutscenes and general thoughts on The Final Shape since launch (as a non-player, didn't feel like re-installing) but I'll have to suspend them in light of this amazing World's First Raid Race.
It's been 5 hours and only a handful of teams have made it past the first encounter! Remember, last year's raid (all encounters) were done and dusted in about 3 hours total.
Here's two top (maybe not "top", but my preferred) Youtuber's streams for anyone interested: https://www.twitch.tv/aztecross

My interest in actually returning to the game is still at an all-time low, but a good World's First Race never fails to get my blood pumping. A guilty pleasure, I suppose.

I'm watching Aztecross even though I hope some literally whos win it again, it's funnier that way. Elysium might have a better chance though.
I forgot if Bungie ever admitted it but Root of Nightmares was intentionally easier as it was meant to be launched together with the in-game LFG tool (didn't happen). "The community" wanted a harder one so here it is. Will be interesting to see Salvation's Edge's day 1 completion rate compared to RoN. Aztecross already looks tired and he's still in the first encounter with Mr. Hands.
edit: Lol Saltagreppo's team is way ahead and there are accusations them "randomly knowing things" because of datamining, with defenders saying he was a favorite to begin with and is just very good.
edit: 9 hours later, still nowhere close to the end, except some chinese hackers. Datto's team seems to have figured out the mechanic of the "Plato's cave" encounter but can't execute it.
edit 2: Went to sleep, woke up and Cross just got to what looks like the boss. Stream has been going for 21h48m now. Don't know how many encounters they got past. Frostbolt in his team is saying someone got world's first but not verified by Bungie yet. Apparently it was a clan of nobodies whoweren't even streaming lul were streaming to a small audience it seems.
edit3: it's over. People are getting notifications of quest advancement ingame too.

Jesus Christ, I haven't been able to stay awake long enough to see Datto or Cross clear. What the hell is going on? I expected this affair to be over by midnight last night.
Looks like Datto's giving up, for now.
At the risk of sounding like a hater, I'm really, really glad it wasn't Salt's team yet again, lol.
And not only that, but a relatively unknown team as well, a pro group that didn't even deign to stream their victory.

Saltagreppo and his team are known for doing whatever the hell it takes to win, so I wouldn't put it past him or his friends. He's won multiple past World's Firsts for at least the last 3 or 4 years, if I remember correctly.

Cross' stream has been going for 37 hours now, and he was online for roughly 2 before starting the raid. He turned off his camera at some point near the end, probably to avoid being reported for endangering his health since he was dozing off. He completed it an hour or so ago and has been playing the other stuff that unlocked after the first team's completion. Other team members logging off because they're about to pass out.
He's also the second titan player to complete it...worldwide. Shieeet.
Datto's team went for a 8h nap, they'll come back with 12h left for contest mode completion.
edit: yeah, all it took was some sleep. Those are old men, the redbull only helps so much.
