I don't blame Alex's connection. I blame the Destiny servers. They're not awful, but in pivotal moments, they fuck up far more often than not.
he didnt level up
so it would still be his fault

But he's in the portal! You don't need high light to beat the portal!
This part of the Raid is real weird, especially when watching from only one perspective. Essentially they kill the mobs at the start, giant blob monster throws them all into a portal, in the portal three of the guardians jump into the three balls in front of the crew while the rest stay behind. The three behind call out the symbol they see in giant blob monster's head, the three in the throne kill the glowing old man sitting on the symbol that wasn't called by the portal guys, repeat three times, then a bunch of skulls pour out of blob monster's mouth in the portal, guardians in the portal shoot the skulls, everyone gets transported over to the throne room, everybody shoots the giant blob monster until the phase ends, then repeat everything over again.

why dont they just do the exploit to get it over with?
Because it's 260 at the start, and 280 at the end. Where they are now. It ramps up in difficulty.
Makes complete sense.

because the last fight requires a minimum of 280 to do without a struggle
its the same thing destiny has always done. The recommended light level is for the first few encounters, and by the last one it ratchets it up to the maximum.
What exploit?
What exploit?

Abby still hasn't taken the course apparently.
But the raid doesn't give gear to make you 280 by the end of the fight. If it almost impossible to complete the raid at sub 280 then why just make it 280 only.
I get that the devs probably had to straddle the line between challenging and being too easy, but from what I've seen, damage input does not seem to be their issue here. They did a sizeable chunk of damage against Calus. The part in the shadow realm is so asinine and unnecessarily up to luck.
They sometimes get popped up because of small ramps, or sometimes they just seem to phase through the barriers. Plus the weird glitchiness that Alex was having with the symbols resetting?? That part is unforgiving but for all the wrong reasons. Cobble that up with their execution issues, its making this part really difficult!
Also looks like Dan's getting a lil spicy.

Destiny's just fucking over Alex. This is a real bummer.
No offense to the GB crew, but compared to them, Justin is a fucking ringer.

Would love that too!
It does technically drop gear that will level you up, the % chance to get it is just shit.

You were a little too generous with your estimate.
Then you get gear upgrades outside of the raid.

Eh
Not really an exploit but cheese? and may have been patched? Idk. One person in the spooky area slides towards the end and blocks themselves from going over by tucking behind some geometry. They could still kill and make call outs? Someone posted a video of it a few pages ago.
Though now that I think about it they would likely run out of revive tokens.

They could try to get somebody other than Brad to host it. Though if Alex's issue is with the server's he's screwed.

Hour and a half, getting it half right isn't so bad. Nailing the aspect too-'losing internet' makes me prophetic.

They're getting popped up by the guys they aren't shooting in time. I've spent hours on this raid and the shadow realm is the easy part

I feel bad for Alex, this is really lame. Tech issues are the worst... and seems like its on Bungie's end.
Yes, I know about about that but it's actually very hard to do as you have to constantly fight against the sliding and only works for one person in shadow realm. It made the 2 man run possible but it certainly wouldn't make it standard 6 man run any easier. The reason they are wiping are stupid destiny physics and even if one person suddenly got better to use that spot, the two others would have to do what they are doing. And I'm pretty sure they can't make callouts as they'll fly off when turning around.
The 2 man run is not as easy as it looks.
