Holy shit.. Why??! Are they fucking crazy??
Thanks! So glad I got the truth from crucible match yesterday, saved me 17 strange coins!
My group destroys minotaurs and pretorians with g-horns. It just eats them up like 6yo eats candy before dinner.
Also if someone can get to 30, but is holding back "because raid gear" I think he should push to 30. It's noticeable difference and will help you guys out a lot when progressing hard VoG.

Yep. Though it sounds a little shady. They said they want to find values effective for pvp and pve. The values should just be separate in my opinion.

How we are moving forward:
-We are adjusting the base damage on Mythoclast. We are going to find a value that works for both PVP and PVE.
-In addition, we intend to raise Mythoclast's attack value above and beyond the other exotics. Attack value dictates how much damage players deal to combatants and Mythoclast attack value being raised will make it more effective in PVE.

Yeah, can't wait for the stability upgrade. I was just able to hold B basically a whole game of control on Bastion with it. I never ran out of ammo, lol.

Well Suros is still a beast indeed. I was just shredding heads, triple downs on Shores of Time. 77 Wizard took care of other situations, I swear I outright missed but it was still a one shot and a melting body, lol.
I can live with the warp fix. Everyone needs to learn it anyway, its best to do it the hard way.

The weekly update sounds good for the most part.
The Atheon/raid stuff sounds horrible to me though... Not because I don't agree with the changes they made, but because they should fix all the glitches that go on during the Atheon fight before "fixing" the cheese method of making him fall off the cliff. The order they are sending out patches is something I don't agree with.
Also we have still heard nothing regarding the PvP netcode which remains horrible.
Edit: Oh and I should point out that this weeks weekly update was much easier to sort through to see the information that was important. Nice to see. I didn't even bother finishing the update last week.

While I'm sure I'll be able to adapt to this and it's not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things, this is a little bit infuriating. I don't even play MMOs and I know this isn't how you design a raid.
You don't force a healer to learn and skillfully execute DPS too.
It's better then no exotic. I bought exotics for alts to get then to raid status asap
FYI, looks like someone's found an exploit or some kind of hack to get heavy ammo at the start of a pvp match.
Here's a reddit just bringing awareness w/ video of a team getting pelted with rockets at the start of a match.

What about 5 other players in your group?
Time to upgrade this mofo

They should just stick a sign on the entrance of the Vault of Glass.
Abandon all strategy, ye who enter here. Here be RNG.

Still not fixing the bug where sound drops out in the raid, huh?
So what's the best way to tackle the Raid? I can never seem to get 6 people together for some reason. I really really want to do it, to the point, I don't feel as much satisfaction playing Destiny anymore.
1) I can only play 10pm (GMT +1) for an extended period of time, an hour or two later would affect my sleep pattern unfortunately.
2) Mic use - as the night goes by and the grumpy people in my house that need to sleep don't like me being loud, means that I have to have minimal contact on the mic.
3) I have literally no experience playing the Raid.
4) I really want to go through the Raid

We're pretty good at this video game.

Well, Bungie better get on adding raid matchmaking now that there's no need to communicate with your group and strategize in the raid at all now.
That there should be no single answer for how to win in Destiny" quote in the weekly update is fucking hilarious.

Right, if they're fixing the Atheon cheese, I want to get in before it disappears. Can someone on Xbone get me a Hard checkpoint for Atheon tomorrow? Send me a PM. GT is BlueNinja BE.

God's had his chance.
Welp... my random rag tag groups of Raiders have come to an end. Gonna need at least another 2 decent players that can communicate and most importantly LISTEN to instructions to not continuously wipe over... and over... and over again after like 3 trips through the portals. Oh yah... and to do more than a fractional SLIVER of damage while Time's Vengeance is up...
might just go snag a season pass and wait for the next raid at this point. Still no word on fixing my Thorn. Huzzah.

it would explain why it's so buggy to begin with. it doesn't always send the 3 furthest so you can tell some of the random code is present.

Mr. Community
Bungie loves RNG so much, we're getting a new raid every week, design changes decided by the roll of a dice.
So much bruised ego about their hardest experience ever turned into a farmfest less than a month after release.

Can't believe you got the gloves and I got the damn legs again :x
Now think that question in more general sense, not just about you and your group
This change, fix of "bug", will throw a lot of groups back into learning phase of Atheon.

That random selection thing is pretty dumb. Why does everything have to be random. I guess Bungie just likes turning things into a clusterfuck.

Bad weekly update. They're forcing us to play the Raid their way and they didn't even up the drop rate of the Mythoclast. Some of us have done the Raid many times and still haven't got one.

I've never seen it not send the farthest three back (keep in mind it doesn't take anyone dead). If there was ever a point in which it did, THAT specifically was probably the bug.
It happens pretty frequently from my experience. I've had it only send 2 people once as well....

I know there's a bug where you don't teleport sometimes when crouching.

"Destiny" is a real fuckin appropriate name for this game, isn't it
What's the point in having raid gear that lets you pick between Oracle or Praetorian damage if it's totally random what you'll be facing?

i've seen it send only one or two people or someone from the defense team instead.

yea that's the problem i have with it. we can't exactly switch roles on the fly so people will no longer be optimized for their jobs. i have atheon's epilogue to go in the portals, not to shoot harpies.
