Curious, why couldn't you share? And have you run the raid a lot post patch? It's been a lot buggier and not sure why you think it's just people having trouble with random ports.

I think on Flawless hard raids there's some consistent glitch with teleporting 0 then 1 people for the first few rounds.
Yah, single file is best, don't sprint, all gravy.
Jay was complaining about the health bar on that Praetorian during my first EVER raid, weeks ago. It's not new by a long shot!
Completely forgot that mod works through Phalanx shields. THAT's a PSA. Shouldn't take that long to level, Legendaries aren't too bad in comparison to Exotics.

Ugh got a shitty pulse rifle.
I wish this got talked about / explored more in-depth. I just can't believe how utterly incompetent or rushed so many parts of this game are.
I'll be logging in at 6 o'clock tonight, of course, but still. It's really unbelievable.
That's what I believe, to. People get downed just prior to teleport and it fudges everything up.
Although, it does allow the relic holder to be a hero and finish it with just one other guy. I've done that a few times on hard
/flex.Relic does like 1400+ damage per melee hit to Oracles.
In regards to the three furthest teleports, I'd ascribe that to lazy as fuck coding. They may have intended it to be "random" and assumed people would be moving around, but that doesn't mean it's a bug to me.
And honestly, if it truly was a "bug"...that makes them look worse, to me.

Man you leveled fast!!
Went searching on Reddit and apparently they don't penetrate shields.
seems kinda worthless then

Yes, I think the flawless bugs are a whole different beast and I've never tried one before or after the patch. I want to make it clear that I'm excluding the flawless raid and just trying to address the idea that the patch "added" bugs for the non flawless raiders.

We need one more nightfall

PrivateWHudson: Here you go my list of bugs: Every single one of these happened to my team from last night on Normal (except for the hard mode only phenomenon like detaining). After about an hour of trying, and being thwarted by wipe forcing bugs on the times when we didn't mess up ourselves, at some point several people were leaving and I just left too without beating Atheon.
And BTW the team from last night wasn't a bunch of bad players... we got to the final Atheon battle in slightly over 30 minutes I think.
another bug: during the Templar fight two Warlocks were losing their yellow super charge bar (one of them was me).
another bug: my exotic helmet is supposed to allow me to regenerate health during my super but when battling the templar it didn't happen.
also (4) above can be caused by lag or the relic holder moving or getting bumped... maybe not a bug.
EDIT: another bug that I forgot to mention: that several other people have mentioned. Random number of people being teleported in addition to random selection of players being teleported. One person teleported, two people teleported, four people teleported...

So far it's been rockets+grenades for me. Takes too long to shoot them normally.
Titan flashbangs probably work pretty well.

Got a legendary engram from nightfall. Is this a new thing (getting engrams from nightfall)? Seems kind of weak, considering the likeliness of getting ass mats or something from it.
Based on my survey of what has been brought up with consistency since the patch... it sounds like there were new glitches introduced in the Hard mode Atheon fight and flawless attempts at the Atheon fight (the first few rounds of teleportation if there have been no wipes). Standard Normal runs, not so much in the way of any new glitches or anything broken.
Ah. hmm. shoots through walls, still. Will allow you to use cover against Phalanxes
What class are you?

Hrmmm never thought of that one. Trying to get my strategy down so I'm ready to do this on my 2 characters after work.
Wife takes my son to swimming lessons Tuesday nights so I can get started right after work! Woohoo!
How long did that take?

Get a feel for hip firing the golden gun, when you get used to leading targets a bit the autoaim does the rest. The accuracy perk can give you a little help at first. While practicing with handcannons is good, I don't think it's a critical skill for a gunslinger: Golden gun does not crit (and I really think it should) which means you should aim for the biggest part of an enemy, so part of the HC training (crit hits, mostly) goes to waste. The positive is you'll get used to a slower ROF.
In PvP I like using trip mine grenades for the ambush factor, and change from high double jump to triple jump depending on the map's verticality.
Seems like someone is asking for more ascendant materials to upgrade another exotic armor piece...

I got the Corrective Measure in the hard raid last night. You are a big fan of that gun, correct(ive)?
I was using it after the raid just to mess around. I'm not a huge MG guy but I'll give it a go.

Huh, wow...and you can't get hit up there?
Green engrams auto show as the item, no need to decrypt (once you pass a certain cryptarch level, you'll be way past it at your level).
I've had them drop from enemies during the Atheon encounter a few times, a few blues and even a legendary. It's very possible you walked over a green and didn't realise it.
I think that's more likely than the game rewading you a green.
Remember, engrams can be succeptable to physics. It could have been slowly rolling toward you when you stopped.
Doesn't seem so bad.

So this got me thinking. After the DLC comes out, is Will of Crota going to be added to the Nightfall rotation?
It's kinda crappy already that PS4 players don't get to see the Dust Palace show up.

Considering a few of the guys were pretty green I thought we did really well up until Atheon. It was frustrating to have something outside of our control ruin our attempts when we got it right. Would happily run with any of you guys again.
I'm disappointed that I don't think I was in a group that took down Atheon either on Hard or Normal this week, first time since I started running raids...most of that was because of my schedule this past week though. At least I got a new exotic out of it (Red Death).

That long ass nightfall and I end up getting 10 ascendent shards. I got plenty of shards playing the raid. Maaaaan
I think it's just RNG like anything else tbh. Though it wouldn't surprise me if Bungie did take the burns out, since they are nofunallowed.jpg
Absolutely. Other than the problems with Atheon it was a very good run. I would also be happy to play with any of the guys we played with last night again.

Awesome thanks. Sounds like my biggest issue is aiming down the sights. I'll def give hip firing a try tonight. I agree that I think golden gun needs something to help in PvE. Being able to crit would help a lot I think.
I wish bungie would announce some details about any upcoming class changes.

Killed Atheon for the first time last night! It's funny, the team I was with took like two hours of wipes and finally gave up leaving three of us still in the team. Then we found three replacements and got him on the second attempt. Needless to say, friend requests were sent after that.
Anyway, I got Chatterwhite and 3 shards (and nothing special from any of the chests along the way). :/ But hey, I can't complain too much, I'm happy just to have done it!

you can easily protect yourself up there. he has an easier time hitting you when he's further away though. you just don't have to worry about adds.
I must've accidentally hit the plus sign button. Sorry didn't mean to quote you.
I swapped a few guns from my Titan to hunter last night. Got nervous when I did hawkmoon but had no issues.

The burn last time it was Valus made the Nightfall easier than the Weekly. Although solar burn would have made it a bit more difficult this time around. Still, wasn't actually that hard to solo with no burns.
corrective measure is the best legendary mg in the game imo
godly gun, armor piercing rounds and so stable, melts oracles like butter
Ah ok, I would prefer playing with people but solo seems doable if I can't get any help.
