I feel the same - and I don't play much at all (Destiny)

Yeah, so... the raid is actually a bottleneck for me.

I played with a group on the 360 that got all the way to Oryx, but we couldn't execute well enough to finish. We made one final push (it was going to be over two days, but I could only play the first day), we failed day one (got him to 25% once), I couldn't play day 2, they finished. At the same time, I finally migrated to the Xbox One (long story).

Most of the Xbox One raid parties I see are either full or running on days I can't play. So I don't have any way to get back into it - so at least 6 quests are actually frozen for me right now. (Plus all the other stuff that's dependent on running raids - ToM, for example).

::shrug:: I guess at some point my schedule will line up with other people's schedules (and a non-full fireteam will be available on that particular day), and I'll finish up... but for the past few weeks, it's been one disappointment after another.

Yeah, that's the downside of having such a large, complex raid. It really is a beast of a commitment for 6 people to make it through, especially if some members of the group are still inexperienced with it. A group who has all the encounters down can burn through in 60-90 minutes, but if even 1 person is new to the raid it can easily stretch out to the 3 hour mark. That's a steep commitment for a group activity.
