Nope. The key to beating this is the relic, and having Brad be in charge of it is the worst possible thing.

It's a maze and you have to make your way through to this small cave without the Gorgon spotting one of your team members. If it spots one person, everyone dies.

If you think I am complaining, go read the Twitch chat. I am just throwing out thoughts as I watch.I am watching cause I would like to see how it ends. I am getting mad, because many of the wipes feel cheap iMO
I still think this is a badly designed experience - even though I have not played it. I have played up to Level 26 of Destiny though, and enjoyed some of this. This feels like a chore.
Gorgons? don't let them see you or instant death to all

If it ends without someone blowing up, it will be a victory.

It's not poorly designed and its not cheap. You have not played it so you have no idea.
I've beaten the Antheon boss fight in literally 10 minutes.
That's a pretty interesting way to put it. From a psychological level, I can sort of understand that young mentality of causing chaos for fun, and the internet has been giving that opportunity in spades with zero consequences since they were born.
That's truly the problem right there; the internet needs to be more equipped to punish people that cause psychological harm to others. I'm so sick of every social venue getting much worse before they get better.
fun...

It's just stupid, people complain the strikes lack depth and complexity and then when the raid requires actual strategy, they complain it's cheap or unfair. Make up your mind people.
It just requires good teamwork.

Why don't they just call out what portal they have been warped to instead of wasting man power by having one guy at each portal.
it makes little difference, i'd say it's easier being split up. less chances for supplicants blowing you all up

And LO, for often the biggest boss in the raid is keeping teamwork strong.

One hit kills in any game are cheap. One hit team wipes are worse. The game asks people to execute perfectly and give no outs for mistakes. That is not fun
All of the sections I found great in Destiny were beating a level with a tiny bit of health reaming. This is pushing that to the extreme.
it's probably why they made it for high level players only. i wouldn't say poorly designed. just punishing. the worst are the various glitches that randomly happen.

Impressive teamwork on display here.
It's The Internet (tm)
I think it would be received a lot better if the high level Strikes actually helped to ramp players up to the amount of teamwork and complexity required here. Now there is just a huge cliff between this and basically everything else.

Damn, seemed like that would be the one.
So with the Oracles, is it a matter of killing them within a certain timeframe or else they kill everyone? That's been the most confusing part of the whole thing for me.

yep, you have to kill them quickly

Except they kinda do, the Nightfall strikes sends you back to orbit if all party members die. It's just as punishing, if not more.
As far as complexity goes, it's the same as any other MMO ever. The raids in WoW are a thousand times more complex than anything else in the game.
basically kill them asap or death to all. the Templar fight was the training ground for this.

I do think the part where they are all in the middle shooting through the shield looks pretty awesome.

There is a different in "depth and complexity" and challenging game design.
This reminds me of Call of Duty on Veteran (which is the pinnacle of unfairness)
it makes you feel like being part of a team fucking up a supervillain. hehe
no, that would be the hard mode raid where if you die you can't be revived
unless you're a sunbro~

Raids are at their best when everyone plays their role well and you finally succeed and you feel like part of a cohesive team. It can have a lot of aggravating parts too when you have to rely on others to such a degree. Can be like beating your head against a wall sometimes.

Brad should really work on that sense of direction.
