Shoddy Programming Ruined Our Sixth Flawless Raider Attempt, Bungie!

Linked above is the whole run for evidence, but the inevitable wipe happens a little after 40 minutes in. I'm sorry, but having not one person get teleported is a ridiculous reason to lose out on Flawless Raider. Since we didn't know, we got hosed and died due to succumbing to oracles and a harpy blast. After this happened to us, I did some googling and apparently this is a VERY common occurrence for players trying to go for Flawless. Some people have sat in the room for 3-4 rotations before even one person was teleported, at which point Atheon starts to enrage. I don't know if this is intended as a dick move by Bungie to stop successful attempts at Flawless. Maybe it's a feature of Atheon to be able to tell when a flawless raid is imminent. But, after having a basically perfect, smooth run only to be denied at the last second is really disheartening and frankly everyone in the fireteam left the raid extremely salty. This is the kind of stuff that makes people quit playing.

  • I have been running raid with two teams trying to get flawless, and we run it twice a week for around 3 to 4 hours each time. So far we have around 60 tries on flawless with everyone being level 30. We know the raid inside out. Last night the session went like this as an example of how how glitches this Raid. Got to Atheon. Only one person teleported we recovered, next round only one person teleported again, again we recovered and once we got telerpored the third time it worked and three got teleported. Once we ran out with the shield the person with the artifact vanished.. % people could not see him and he could not see anyone. After a moment we got teleported the fourth time to mars and te artifact was not there, however in the distance we could see the artifact guy falling down into nothingness and dying.. Thats a new bug for us to see. Second run the game booted out two people in the Templar fight. Third run the all the enemies froze and stopped moving... and we had to eventually return to orbit. Fourth run game booted two people out when starting the Gorgon maze.. Gave up for now. Oh and by the way out of the 12 people im playing with 9 have decided not to buy the DLC due to this although one already bought it..... Vote with your wallet is what works. And to think i actually for the longest time thought highly of Bungie.
