My answer is no and for the following reason, I know "hardcore gamers" will call me a noob and say "you're just saying that because you suck".
I am and have been an avid gamer since the NES and I love a good challenge but this particular HOT FIX is horrible, I'm glad Bungie wants everyone to be able to perform every roll but in reality not everyone is a sharpshooter just like not everyone is great at close quarters.
Being able to assign roles lets the team:
1- gear accordingly
And 2 - play on the strengths of each teammate.
The hot fix removes this because now THERE WILL BE A SET BUILD(which I thought BUNGIE was against) to face atheon, no personalized choices because you NEED to be ready for those oracles so everyone will sport their strongest AR and rocket launcher.
I am the relic holder in my group but until that part I like to rock a hand cannon. Now I need to always equip my raid elemental weapon like eeeeveryone else because I may be going into the portal instead of doing the fight the way I enjoy doing it.
Just my opinion. Please vote and let me know what you think. Maybe we'll get someone's attention.
EDIT: not just about me wanting to use my hand cannon lol Also it will be tougher for people who have never done VoG to get a group that won't boot them, insult them or just have 0 patience with them after so many deaths or mistakes you know?

1 ReplyRandomizing the encounter just means all players will have to be ready for the portal. That kinda ruins the teamwork that was there to begin with, people had roles in which they were doing, now that it's random, it can be a pain for those who aren't properly equipped for the portals.
