This is a serious matter, The idea of changing the fight of Atheon to select 3 random players, instead of the 3 furthest players to send through the timegate.
There is a constant idea that Bungie believes their game should be played like an MMO. They've managed to remove Farming areas for engrams, with a good fix that engrams now give what they're supposed to, and providing engrams as rewards. They believe their end game shouldn't be everyone standing in front of a Cave to get drops. They want people to play the game and this is very understandable.
Currently, the Level 30 Raid is quite the "Challenge" on players. What's happening is most players are in fact cheesing most of the fights. Including Atheon, by apparently knocking him of the ledge. What's even worse, on not just Hard Mode Raiders, is that with the next patch, the player selection for Atheon's Portal phase will become random. My belief is this will only ruin the Raid Experience for many people.
The Raid requires Teamwork and coordination at every level, a group of players are supposed to be able to knit themselves tightly to accommodate specific roles for their class or whatever the group may need. Such as a Titan to prevent the Templar from Teleporting, a player with Keeper of the pack for quick revives, whatever. Everyone knows their role from the beginning of the entire Raid even.
Changing this Timestream effect, players will find themselves confused. Immediately struggling to determine, who will fire upon the oracles, and who will defeat the enemies at the bottom. Who grabs the Relic? This changes everything, from becoming a part of the game requiring finesse and good communication. Hunters are typically favored to venture through the Timestream to use their Golden Gun to dispatch Oracles quickly. This also affects new players, as those without experience will have no idea what their role is. Warlocks without Oracle Disruptor Weapon upgrades will find themselves struggling to take down Oracles in time, while those with the Relic may not realize their teammates require a cleanse, in order to see the oracles before the team succumbs to them.
I'm opening a poll, to show that I am not the only one against this change.
The Raid should be left as a Raid, requiring specific work of Roles with the players. Not a test of the player's reaction time and adaptability.

Edited by Talk2MeToner: 11/10/2015 4:09:44 AMI am laughing so hard right now. "Players will struggle to find out who is shooting oracles and grabbing relic" I know this was a year ago but good god all it took was first guy to be on relic takes it unless they're 29 all 30s learn to use the two different buttons super difficult to use object [spoiler]lmao how anyone has ever claimed to be good at relic in destiny is beyond me. You can either run it or you're mentally challenged [/spoiler]

Make it random. Every competent raider should be able to handle any part of the raid.

You know you are a year 1 player if this was an issue in your life...

Leave it as random. Learn all the roles. It* harder but managable.

Lol who bumped this?

Yeah don't fix it

You evil SOBs. Yet another necro bump?

It's not really that complicated. Anyone should be able to take the relic and anyone should be able to shoot the oracles. If people keep getting carried through content, they're never going to learn. I think the upcoming change to Atheon is great. They still need to do at least one more thing though. Supplicants aren't enough to keep everyone outside busy. Team outside needs to have a bit more to do.

i agree :) in every raid in games that inc raiding its a constant strategy ie you do it that way all the time, this crap about random porting is bullshit you may aswell just change the name from raid to lvl 26 or 30 strike. you dont see massive sucessful companies like Blizzard changing what happens in a raid ever they are designed to be done 1 way and 1 way only

Just finished raid on hard. Group i was with was trying to push. So i hung back and got teleported each time, kept grabbing the relic and learned how to use it. We got pretty efficient at clearing oracles quick. Got some good practice in
