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.

Was doing the hard raid tonight with a bunch of seasoned raiders, but which hadn't cracked it on hard. Twice we nearly got it, but failed because the game bugged out. The first time we had Atheon down to a slither of health, we were inside and had all the oracles down, but no, the game decided that we had not. The second time was downright infuriating. Again we had Atheon down to a slither of health, no one was dead, and we got teleported to Mars, "Yes! We're going to finally nail it!" I thought. But no, the game only teleported two players ... well done, Bungie. I have put over 200 hours into the game, and would love to pour more into it. But if this is how it's going to be, why should I bother? And why the hell should I even consider spending more money on the dlc? Bungie's blatant disregard for its player base is actually quite insulting. I'm seriously considering trading the game in for credit.
