The current "fix" to the Atheon VoG fight is contradictory to the established Lore of VoG. According to the Lore, the Vex are trying to rewrite the laws of time/space. The Gorgons and Oracles are the Vex processing nodes that handle the rewriting of the laws of Time/Space. Kabr smashed the crap out of a Gorgon, and subverted the it's processing core so that he could use it's ability to rewrite the laws of Time/Space to fight the Vex. This Gorgon core is the relic. Thus, during the Atheon fight, Atheon is trying to hide the relic from the players by sending it into the future & past. However the Relic itself is fighting this, which is why the players also get teleported back/forward in time along with the relic. Oracles then show up to try and write the players near the "hidden" relic out of Time/Space which is why you kill them (to stop them). Given the lore, it makes no sense that Atheon would send random people back/forward in time. Atheon doesn't want to send ANYONE back/forward in time, just the relic. The reason why players get sent back/forward in time along without he relic is that the relic itself is a Time/Space Rewriting processing node and is interfering with Atheon. Either way, it makes absolutely zero sense why random players would be sent back/forward in time. The most sense is proximity to the Relic, the second thing would be Proximity to Atheon. The least sense is random. But hey, the Dev's love themselves some RNG... The real reason for this change is given in the statement conveyed by Deej: [quote]"...the most challenging encounter we've ever created."[/quote] This response is pure, absolute, 100% ego. *Edit* [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71666640/0/0]Sauce![/url], [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2hr35b/destiny_vault_of_glass_lore/]More Sauce![/url], [url=http://mobile.btclush.com/m/DestinyTheGame/comments/2jdgu2/the_vault_of_glass_and_kabr/]Even MORE Sauce![/url], [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/75262147/0/0/1]Grimoire Sauce![/url]
