Last night we detonated all 16 while our aura holder kept hitting oryx in the chest and it left 25% of his health. All green bars and even the wipe screen showed 4 orbs detonated by each of our names. So we failed. Our second attempt we actually had an ogre teleport! They fixed it....riiiight. We overcame Bungie's -blam!- up by having our self-rez warlock activate the main 3 and then sacrifice himself on the 4th. When we killed Oryx everyone said f you Bungie instead of Oryx....I think that says a lot.

Agreed that it was probably lag..maybe not even in connection Speed, but distance in proximity to each other ...the only time I run into issues like the ones you describe is when one or more in our fireteam is across the country or across the ocean from everyone else. It such that you have to go by these constraints, especially without Bungie even saying anything about it, but it's what peer based hosting causes.

That honestly sounds like connection issues. I ran the challenge 3 times last night no issues.

Each time me and my group that all lives near each other with fiber op internet have been experiencing basically everything you listed and more. Only started since this weeks reset.

These are basically all connection issues. Sucks, but if your having these issues for an hour, just quit and try later. I have an Australian buddy I play with at times, but we can't do oryx because the connection is always too poor.

I agree let's add more pvp

I play regularly with clan mates that have poor network connections, and what you have described here sounds classically like our experience. Here's things we have found, some of which I have seen others already post in this thread. 1) if Oryx is stuttering in initial animation, just go to orbit. Pick the guy with the best network connection as fireteam leader and fly back in. The game mode will usually work the first time after that - subsequent attempts after wipe may show stuttering again. Go to orbit and retry. It's not worth staying, as not only Oryx, but Knights, Ogres, the Vessel, the Ship, and the shade will all show stuttering/replay glitches if Oryx is doing it initially 2) Don't assign bomb detonation to anyone with a poor network connection. They won't be able to trigger bombs half of the time. Keep them in the middle shooting Oryx 3) The relic runner may have to spend a few extra seconds at the relic to actually pick it up. Have them be patient. 4) Bomb knights may not register hits when being shot until 2-3 seconds after shot. Platform guys need to take extra care to get first shot to the head. The worst of this is that without hit registration the Knights don't stutter, so they're off and running fast. 5) Ogres may double animate when rising. Titans in the middle should recognize this and save ToM damage for second animation 6) non network related: someone must be exposing Oryx's dark heart by shooting him in the chest during bomb detonation, or all of the bomb damage won't register The really disappointing part here comes from the fact that network lag can cause soooo many side effects for the entire team. That part of the raid seems poorly designed. Working around it can be frustrating. Bungie could do fixes on this, as we saw initially similar issues on CE, but were somehow addressed. The fact though that it has gone this long and the raid can be glitched so easily by network is unbelievable.

Seriously if you are getting those kind of glitches someone in your fireteams connection is causing it. I've completed it 3 times this week with none of those issues.

I doubt that it glitches at Oryx... The only part where I faced problems was when I beat Warpriest and was on the path to Golgoroth... It lagged me out every time... I think someone wasn't doing their job in your case...

Someone in your group had a bad connection. Also, 3 of coins work for the shade encounter, so likely not all was lost, and you do not need to keep re-using them until you kill another ultra.

Sounds like you don't know what your doing at all and your making excuses

You have to stand in the blights at the same time. Someone want in it, that's why the damage was like that. Next time make a video. I would like to see the platforms lag out. I think someone wasn't doing there job right.

Someone had bad lag. When stuff like that happens change fire team leader and go to orbit and back. Usually resolves the problem unless the problem connection is truly garbage

it's not glitched.. someone had a shit connection.

Sounds like lag and bad teamwork.

U were just having bad connection issues, there's no problem with the raid.
