I thought they added it. Says it in the release notes.
This might be what someone posted about already, but care to explain? Are you referring to voidfang?

I keep disconnecting now, 3 matches in a row I've disconnected.

Unless you did it as soon as it reset, not really. It would have kicked you out to patch.
"This update makes Destiny a more stable experience for all players."
error code monkey
By "stable" they meant we will see errors at more consistent pace. Instead of 3 days of no error followed by 5 errors in 5 mins, you are guaranteed to have 2 errors per hours. What else could you ask for?

Sorry meant didn't* lol
Was really hoping that the patch delay was them coming to their senses and removing the RNG element of the Atheon fight.
Nope, and they still even called it a "bug fix"!
I think I am completely done with this game, at least until the DLC comes out. I'm really regretting buying the $100 verison of the game. :/

No, it's a straight up exploit via switching skills in the menu, you can revive without activating Radiance or losing your super bar, needs patchin'

Honestly I don't either. Something about this game in particular actually makes me feel good about it. Like I'm getting one over the devs lol.

Nah... RNG is the biggest cheese of them all. A completely random reward system designed to keep you playing as long as possible.
Gaming is traditionally about the best player getting the best rewards. Without that, it's cheese for cheese. Game on, Bungie.

Atheon is selecting the same people, its not working as intended.

This is just like Korean MMO grind!
So he randomly selects 3 people the first time and then re-selects them every time after that? I wouldn't be surprised. Bungie doesn't really seem to playtest this game.

I was really hoping that backlash would cause Bungie to rethink the random target stuff for Atheon, but clearly they pushed on with that idea.
Not sure when I'll bother with the raid or at least Atheon again. While I'm sure I could pick up the other roles with a little practice it just complicates that fight way beyond his potential rewards, especially in normal.
Hopefully this change doesn't create an environment within the community where experienced players aren't willing to bring along new ones.
The game is still fun to play so I can still easily enjoy other aspects. I just wish Bungie wanted a larger group of people to see their content. Changes like this seem like they'll just reduce the number of people to ever see or kill Atheon.

Really annoyed that they changed Atheon to send randoms through the portal. Annoying. Group I raid with have a strategy and all that, same people do the same stuff and we all know what we're doing and it works a treat.
Or it did. Now we're going to all have to work out how to use the relic i guess.
How about fixing shit that needs fixing before chaning this stuff

He's disconnecting the same 2 people over and over again.

What's to say that's not intentional? The patch notes were vague at best.

It's not working for any of us but we've all done nightfall and thinking the nf swirls are preventing the ossum pumpkin.
With the way Bungie is, I can't help but think more things are going to be nerfed. Anyone else?
I think Gjallarhorn (PVE), Icebreaker (PVE), and explosive rounds (PVP) will get nerfed. I can just imagine Bungie seeing that 17 second video of Atheon dying on hard mode to 4 Gjallarhorns and them saying "this exotic is not performing how we intended it to."
I'm also hoping ARs and shotguns get nerfed again, harder than last time.

dhruv and i disconnect within 10 seconds of each other and we haven't made it passed the first conflux since the patch because of it.
If its intentional, it defeats the purpose of the change imo... why only make the first time random? Then your team can form strategies on who does what for the rest of the entire fight. It only delays the strategy by one phase if true.
:lol if so

So they're cutting down on that RNG after ell eh?
If that's really how it is, then yeah, it's not even harder, lol.
Nope.

That may very well be as intended. I hope so, I would prefer Atheon targeting 3 and they get "locked in" to the Timestream phase.
They may be okay with that, they've repeatedly stated the Raid isn't for everyone, not all players will be able to complete, etc.
Hmm, ya that wouldn't be so bad then. If you happen to get 3 people who just refuse to learn that part, just wipe and start over.

So basically you just wipe until he selects the three people you want to have inside the portal(s)?
If this IS true then yeah, you could do that. But I think what makes it "harder" is if it was random people each time, there's a small sense of panic and you have to quickly decide who's doing what which causes more room for error. If its the same 3 people every time after the first teleport then they should only have to decide that once and the rest of the fight is smooth sailing as usual.
