That is surprising, whoever design the raid should have known that and set it up as random if that was the intent. Welp better beat/cheese the raid as soon as I can..
No one is stuck to a job - it's called strategy. Executing strategy with a team is part of the fun. Having random and uncontrollable elements in a boss fight is not fun. Bungie's best bet would be to move forward and design their new raids however they want, but not change the game months down line after everyone already figured out the VOG.

I suspect there will be better gear. No real incentive for people to grind new strikes, and especially new raids, otherwise. I'm kind of leaning toward just staying at 29 for that reason. I want to do the raid at least a couple times to experience it, but my schedule is a bit hectic for playing when I can find 5 others to just grind for gear that will probably be obsolete when the expansion is out. Especially when Level 30 isn't really needed for more than the hard mode raid. And I have friends saying it's not bad at 29 anyway.
Y'know what... I'd be okay with that.

So the Darkness is really RNG
The end-game glimmer economy is what really needs fixed. Just buying ammo packs when I'm near the cap, and well...let's just say I have too many ammo packs.
Create a glimmer sink to buy end-game items like coins, motes, high level engrams etc.
Something.
E92, even if they do everything "right" from here on out, weapons will probably get nerfed or buffed. Sometimes, mistakes are made.
I still remember an awesome weapon from Molten Core, Earthshaker I think it was called. It had a chance to proc a knockback.
Yeah, that was an oops. I only got to enjoy it for a day, similar to some of the Vex users here. It needed nerfed, though haha....
Yeah, it can be fun. My main issue, though, is the raid (seemed?) designed so that it was predictable who got teleported and who didn't. It didn't seem like a bug.
Changing it now seems more like an asshole thing to do rather than a bug fix.

I'd probably be fine with that. But the Hard mode does require damn good teamwork.
Too much randomness can backfire and leave people frustrated.
If it was up to me, I'd require an ample amount of Glimmer and Marks be used to purchase Legendary gear. At least then Glimmer would have somewhat of a use.

I dont understand why psn is shit.
You can't play Destiny at all if PSN is down.
True, but I still like opening the chests all together just to see all dem loot notifications on the screen.
Plus it's like a camaraderie sort of thing.

all I want is Hawkmoon
That or The Last Word. Saw a guy earlier today, right before the devil walker public event, and the sound the Hawkmoon makes is glorious.
What the hell, man. How was this somehow unintended? It's just legitimate strategy, no exploits. Damnit, Bungie, what are you thinking?
Being a pretty big Bungie fan during the prime HALO years they are currently not acting like the Bungie I remember.

Maybe that's what needs to happen in order to get Bungie's attention.

Yeah after reading that Kotaku interview all I'm left with is
Kind of deflating TBH. After playing Blizzard's Diablo III for so long this really shouldn't be anything new for me, but hearing Bungie say "We want you to play this way and only this way" makes me pretty salty. How about no, Bungie.
Was it Zoba with that awesome post "does bungie know what they are doing"? I seriously hope the folks at Bungie read that thread and at least skim through our thread here.

I'm just saying it's a complete design flaw to not let people play story missions if their servers are down.

Bungie, pls. No one wants this. Fix the damn portals so when you go through... you actuall always go through! Or maybe no AOE damage while in the relic sheild.
Yeah getting six people together across who knows how many timezones and internet connections and connectivity issues for hours at a time so everyone can learn to use the relic and memorize every oracle spawn is so easy. It's not impractical in any way. If anything they should have portals inside of portals that would require 2 additional teams who then would all randomly get mixed up (with no cross team chat).

It seems only Destiny servers are down. PSN seems fine (store etc...)
I don't understand posts like this because the changes so far have been so overwhelming for the better.

Probably.
If Ice Breaker loses ammo regen I'm out. I'm not using it to refill other guns, just Ice Breaker itself and it helps me solo the weekly for my 3 strange coins a week.
If that goes, I'm done.
Bungie come the fuck on, I eventually binned GTA online because they kept forcing people to play a certain way, don't do this.
Subjective. Some people would enjoy conquering that...but yeah, most gamers don't like randomness. They prefer predictability....it's why more people seem to prefer PvE / Co-Op, PvP is by definition more chaotic.
Digression aside, it's okay / good for hard modes to have different mechanics to make it more difficult. As Ultron said, teleporting random three people in hard mode makes sense in a way.
It's just the perception here is .... really bad and feels vindictive / controlling / without a vision.
Would give me a reason to use all these glimmer consumables, that's for sure. Adding a cost to something that's already available would make people wig out though, haha.
A ridiculously priced legendary or exotic engram from the Cryptarch that cycles in would be a lazy fix, but at least it'd be something to buy.

I would actually enjoy that change.
Keeps every player on their toes. I generally carry the Relic, but quickly forcing teams to adapt to situations would be pretty great. It would make the Hard Atheon detain a little more interesting. Everyone would quickly call out their relocation and continue on using the exact same strategy as before. Outside team to pillars. Relic team does their thing.
While you're at it... create another sink to let me dump all my deconstructed armor mats into... let me trade in stacks for rep! or for farmed materials! I've got so, so many... just doing nothing.

I have it. I wasn't really looking for it and, when I got it, I wasn't terribly excited. Then I actually didn't even want it because it would take my exotic spot (ie: no Ice Breaker).
Well, I most certainly changed my tune after using it for about 10 mins. That thing just murders.

Don't get me wrong. It definitely does it the fastest, but I already take them down so fast with a Shadow Price that it's not worth the time to even bother switching weapons. And I should clarify, I have zero qualms with it in PvP. I guess stability is probably it's main perk which I have noticed now that I think about it.

Hopefully they will revert the mythoclast to somewhat of it former glory, not expecting it to go back to like it was, but at least not as nerfed as now. A sauros should not be more powerful than the most rare weapon of them all.
If they do nerf more weapons that players have spent countless hours grinding to be able to upgrade, I am also out.
PSN is down in general it seems. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=913669

Vex needed nerf for PVP (not as much as they did, though), but for PVE it was the perfect end game reward. It made the game feel amazingly fresh and fun for me. What's point of getting better rewards if everything feels vanilla? I don't believe in everything being equal. I believe in letting the community have fun toys to mess around with. This is a video game, not a job. Tons of people were having fun with the Vex outside of PVP and Bungie decided that's not allowed.
But still, the anxiety is real lol.
Yes, that's the one thing I noticed about Bungie: their malleability for reacting to the player's will is almost nonexistent. It's pretty much always Bungie way or no way. It takes a big uproar to get anything changed. They have good talent, but are also one of the most pretentious studios out there.
