Atheon Teleports; Beating the dead horse...
You know Bungie, i was all for defending this game until the recent patch. I am jumping on the dead horse of "ATHEON TELEPORTS DID NOT NEED FIXING!" Having the 3 farthest back teleported created planning and strategy, which is what MMO raids are all about; making a plan and executing that plan well and get a reward for it. what planning is there in random teleporting? Not only that but your "fix" broke the damn raid; randomly teleports 1 or 2 people, which is INFURIATING on hard mode when you were jsut about to win but a glitch f***s you over. Sometimes NO one is teleported. Its jsut plain chaos. EVEN IF you fix those bugs, it just makes absolutely NO sense to make it random. Are you guys against players having roles? against any type of planning and strategic forethought? As if there wasn't already enough randomness in this game, you just HAD to add one more aspect that completely contradicts what a raid is supposed to be. Good job bungie, good job.
it is pretty damn obvious that the 3 farthest back being teleported was a DESIGN CHOICE since your "fix" is bugged to all hell and completely destroys this raid, when the original method had NO functionality issues.
I really hope that bungie realizes how much of a mistake this was, but i highly doubt it, as their "you guys dont know how WE want you to play this game" attitude seems to be the driving force behind their decisions.

5 RepliesCan i start by saying that the teleport bugs were present before the patch, we just here more about them now because their is less 'pushing' and being carried through the raid. And finish with; The encounter is far more exciting now. Tougher, yes, as it should be. People need to be adept at all aspects of the fight. It requires more communication, more skill, more knowledge, and has become a much greater achievement when conquered. The "strategy" you are refering to was painfully linear and boring, especially for those on the outside team. And also, i -blam!-ing hate when people say things like "this isn't how a raid (or whatever other shit they are spouting) works in game 'X' so why isn't it like that here". Well, maybe because this isn't that other game. If that is the experience you want, go play it then.
