Sharing Raid Checkpoints

Yes, I support the sharing of checkpoints

No, I oppose the sharing of checkpoints

[b]Let us know why you feel the way you do. Everyone's' opinion matters... [/b] OK, so I really don't have a problem with cheesing. Its up to the team to decide how they want to complete the challenge ahead of them. I don't think its right to bash someone for having a creative solution to a problem. What I do have a problem with is the sharing of checkpoints in the raids. Multiple times over the last month I have gone to run people through VoG or Crota's End and whenever I join a party that is near the end of the raid, I always find it much more difficult to finish than when I'm with a group right from the start. This is because people are fighting Atheon/Crota without ever having completed the rest of the raid. They are going in expecting everything to happen for them, or to be cheese-able. [b]We should definitely be able to bring friends or strangers into OUR checkpoint, but it should not COPY to THEIR account and give them free access to late raid material.[/b] Two nights ago my team had to stop and explain everything that was going on because the guy who joined us "completed the raid multiple times before" but had cheesed every single part. He did not inform us that he had only cheesed his way through everything. It quickly became frustrating when we realized 9/10 wipes were on his shoulders. After about 15 wipes on Crota I finally became frustrated enough to "ask" why this was seemingly so difficult and he informed the team that even though he had FULL RAID GEAR FROM CROTA'S END, he had never actually fought Crota. Every time he got to that part his team had done the glitch to make Crota stay on one knee. The same thing happened last night on the bridge. Another dude had only cheesed his way past and kept claiming he had done it before and knew what was going on (Had helmet, gloves, & boots). Took all of ten minutes to realize he had never actually done the puzzle and he had only cheesed it before because he kept leaving his totem and turning on the center plate by accident when he wasn't supposed to. Had another guy that joined us from an LFG site that had 3 raid pieces and when we got to Ir Yut he bailed because it doesn't give rewards and he would rather jump straight to Crota. He also informed us that he had NEVER killed Ir Yut. THAT PART ONLY TAKES FIVE FREAKING MINUTES WTF!!! THIS SHIT IS GETTING RIDICULOUS [b]TL;DR Cheesing is up to the individual, but this whole jumping into the late raid sections and then not really completing them is a -blam!-ING JOKE! IDC if you cheese, I do care if you have NEVER DONE ANY OF THIS BEFORE! JUST TELL US SO WE CAN EXPLAIN IT! BUNGIE!!! REMOVE CHECKPOINT SHARING!!![/b]

  • 🤔 if you are wiping on crota it's more then just "one guy". My friends and I 3 man crota and LFG the other 3 players as no mic needed because we aren't going to talk to them nor do we care if they know what they are doing or not.. they are irrelevant aside from extra DPS to speed up the farming👍

  • No need for a checkpoint when u have a clan team that can beat anything easily! I vote if you need a checkpoint then you should get nothing as a reward😛

  • I support checkpoint sharing. And the only way it will ever stop is of checkpoints are removed from the game completely

    Check points yes... Cheesing no... The witch part is not that hard ppl... If it dropped loot people wouldn't skip it... Personally I like the rush of that part

      After being berated with false claims and personal attacks by an idiot who doesn't even have a 31+ toon and below 20 total raids completed, just because I offered a logical reason as to why people skip Deathsingers, I will be joining in with the folks who share checkpoints. I will be on the look out at destinylfg.com for anyone who's still on Deathsingers checkpoint, will obtain Crota CP on one of my toons, and not complete the raid on that toon until late Monday. I typically raid Friday nights and weekends, but will probably try to get this going today or tomorrow. Tired of carried little bitches with piss poor stats acting up on a high horse. If you are interested in getting Crota CP every week around late Wednesday or Thursday, just send me a msg. I'll notify as soon as I have it available for sharing.[spoiler]reason provided: offers no rewards - people may do it on one toon and save cp on the others; response: "you cheater scrub can't complete raid, can't beat deathsingers, lives on mommy's basement, flips burgers, etc, etc, too long can't remember"[/spoiler]

    • A simple solution would be to add a loot drop at the deathsinger. A whole lot fewer people would skip it if there was a reason to do it.

        • I will agree with you on this. After playing through the new raid enough to learn the fights and some good strategies for them at this point while it's still possible, cheesing the bridge is just a faster option, much like the templar. As for the Crota Cheese, I'm on PS4...so we don't get that glitch where he stays on one knee. I don't particularly care for people who only learned how to cheese and not do it the right way, because honestly I like to keep fresh on my tactics and at least 1 raid a week I like to run through without cheesing....hard to do with randoms who don't know what they are doing. Solid points made, good thread. ^^ Thumbs up
