No raid clear for me before contest is over, but we did explore literally everything and had fun figuring out mechanics on our own! Really cool raid where you can pick which encounter to go to in which order. It allowed us to see all arenas and all encounters (except the last one) and try it all out which is so much better than sitting in one room for 9 hours.
The best part? Maya and Chioma on comms. Like actual non-Conductor Maya and Chioma talking together and trying to reach each other. I am in actual tears. All 4 dialogues that we could access (possible that there's more before or after the final encounter? But we couldn't get that so):
Immediately became unhinged because this is the same pair that was referenced in the last transmission in Encore from Echoes. Just so everyone knows how long this has been planned. In Encore, at the end in the last puzzle, the last log we got from Maya was that Maya from .87 team is looking for .50 Chioma (which was really interesting because they're not from the same simulation and it showed that normal Maya doesn't care which Chioma she's in love with, as long as it's Chioma which was in a way showing us that the Conductor is an outlier and not a rule for Maya and her life). So this raid starts with the first beacon showing us that .50 Chioma is also looking for .87 Maya.
Sobbing and crying and wailing.
They're chatting and joking with each other. I am in tears.
I need the raid race to be over so I can go do the raid normally and find more of these if there are any.
