I think it's intended as cheese prevention but most times it just bugs out. I've found that sticking too close to walls will get me teleported (sometimes). Bad part is, you tend to get teleported to the very middle of the fray and can easily get killed in the process.

It's a "Feature" to keep you on your toes.
It's not a feature to keep you on your toes.
It's pretty clearly "anti-cheese" if you stand still for too long you get teleported close to the enemies.
If you run up the stairs in the tank room of the new strike you get teleported next to the tank and the door closes.
It used to be that if you stayed in a door it wouldn't close... not anymore.
Well, if Bungie knew how to make fights they wouldn't let their boss fights be so easily burned down before the first mechanic even occurs.
Skolas' first real mechanic being triggered at 50% is silly.
I'm kind of not sure where I stand on checkpoints because PoE 35 is a broken encounter anyways. Rounds 1-4 you can complete with like whatever DPS. For normal people, the requirement for completing round 5 suddenly jumps up 100x the required DPS. It's a pretty dumb difficulty spike.
Bungle pls.

It's fine to have both. Certain encounters that require certain mechanics to be mastered to complete (like Crota fight), and other encounters to have by-passable mechanics or even none at all besides kill all the things. "By-passing" mechanics by killing a boss like Skolas or Qodron really fast with powerful gear that you've earned and levelled before certain tough things happen, or, say, jumping the Bridge on Crota's End by yourself isn't cheesing, it's just clever use of the existing sandbox. I'm all for that. That's why it's a sandbox in a lot of cases.

High Moon does good stuff when given the proper time and budget.
Sign me up for a 34, I can be on in 5 minutes! a_javierp on PSN.
Supposedly it only happens when you're touching the back wall and sitting in a place for too long. Though it has happened to me even when I'm jumping around and shooting things.

I can help out if there's room too, completely forgot I had made plans yesterday so had to back out and missed the run.
Edit: Nvm, too late!
Same here. Got teleported last night when I was definitely not sitting in place.
It seems to happen when you're standing up against a wall for too long from what I've seen.

gjallarhorn doesnt need a nerf. the game just needs better boss battles.
maybe bungie will wise up and drop the "one large bullet sponge with a 1000pc side of adds" formula

It happens often when you stay in a safe zone for long periods of time.

SKOLAS ARC BURN SNIPER STRATEGY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMuynvaGuGc
Requirements:
365 high impact Arc snipers. Field scout and final round preferred. If you take Patience & Time as reference, its impact is serviceable, so try to get a sniper with higher impact. LDR, Spear, Supremacy are good ones.
Arc machine gun for crowd control. Thunderlord works best.
Arc primary - 365 Fatebringer is king.
One player of each class preferred, makes things easier.
Titan - Defender with Weapons of Light, Bastion and illuminated.
Hunter - Bladedancer with invisibility perks.
Warlock - Sunsinger with fireborn.
Everyone runs to the servitor on the left.
Titan puts bubble next to the door, the other two players kill Servitor as quickly as possible.
With WoL, everyone snipes and stun locks Skolas. If dps is good, the servitor bonds will break just as the servitor buff is about to expire.
One player (titan) must be dedicated to adds and crowd control. 3 shanks will spawn from the door behind the bubble, kill them asap and then focus on the adds coming from the right side - captain and vandals, followed by sniper vandals. Imperative that they die asap.
Hunter goes to disable mine if it spawned far away. If you're lucky and first mine spawns next to you, stay there and keep on sniping Skolas. He should be nearly dead by now.
Hunter goes to dismantle other mines, warlock and titan keep on shooting till the boss is dead.
The curse (essence) needs to be taken on by the warlock so that he/she can die with it and self-res, getting rid of the curse.

I wish they'd take a cue from Dust Palace.
Multiple Ultras at once all with their own mechanics is way more interesting that 1 Ultra Ultra with piddly shit all over the place.
When I still thought there was a raid, I was really expecting the "final boss" to be 3 Archons, one with a Shrapnel Launcher, another with a Line Rifle, and another with Arc Blades.

This, this sounds like a mechanic!
Got em in my NF drop this week! Haven't leveled em yet though.
Send the dog over to water the flowers..
Great, now I need that and Matador from crucible. I haven't got anything but pulse and scout rifles.
Farm for keys with your full weapon slots being available. The amount of green weapons you will get, coupled with the blue engrams from the chests, should give you plenty of weapons to dismantle quickly.
Remember green stuff doesn't go to your Postmaster though so it's best if you have lots of free inventory space before starting.
Another possibility would be farming Gatekeepers with a group to reach glimmer cap and use it buying the cheapest guns available. Don't know how that would work out (time it takes to reach glimmer cap / guns you would get vs guns you'd get in that time while patrolling).
I got a Matador a few days ago. Worth leveling?

Not only that, but you can get some really interesting results depending on how you spec your build. And you get TWO.
Here's me playing around with them yesterday in the Steppes: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Mr Greencastle/video/2612031
You're the man. Thanks for the writeup, going to try with my RL friends tonight or tomorrow.
Run some strike playlists too. You get pretty heavily rewarded with engrams at the end and killing enemies during often drop them. They take 10 minutes each and will probably run the same length as the treasure key farming if you are sick of that.

is venus farming better than dragon strike farming?
Only if you really want a chance at a key. Otherwise, not really.
