I deem myself quite a proficient PvE player, and I have completed the Oryx challenge numerous times on two accounts (own and son's, all chars 319 or 320). However, finishing the Oryx challenge yesterday proved to be impossible. There was no run where I wouldn't get teleported right into the shade's melee attack without having the slightest chance to evade and survive it. I wasted 4 or 5 hours with various teams and in the end wasn't able to beat the challenge. I had beat it on my first account last Tuesday three times though.
Has the raid been secretly patched to be harder and less predictable?
That's a lotery deciding whether you can complete randomly and not based on your skill. This has nothing to do with making something difficult, it is purely harrassing players with game "mechanics" completely out of their reach and out of being handleable.
This would be so easy to fix. Just don't teleport players into to shade area while the shade is attacking. But since this doesn't make it easier for players to beat the raid, you don't give a flying crap, right, Bungie?
Yeah, I don't have to play this game, but I spent money for it to have good, relaxed, fun times with it, and not be f*cked over and over and over by all the goddamn glitches you, Bungie, just cannot be arsed to fix despite them being known and reported for months (some for years).
This game has a good foundation, but no polish. You can see that at every corner, in all the oversights it contains.
I hate people with your attitude. I hate people who sell a product and intentionally or out of indifference cannot be arsed to, or maybe even intentionally do not make it work properly. It makes you look incredibly arrogant.

4 RepliesI feel your pain, I helped 11 teams through the challenge over the weekend, some were LFG and some buddies. We had the "spawn kill" in the shade phase occur maybe twice. I have found in my travels that if you see ANY kind of stop motion animation, enemies sliding ( moving but legs not ) hit the option button and check fireteam connection quality. You may find a low yellow or (gulp) red bar, if so, that person should make sure no one is streaming, video calling or anything that may be dragging their connection down, BTW, upload is at least as important as download. We had one occasion where these "glitches" were more frequent than any other time we have played together and we were failing the challenge, turns out he was running wireless because he had moved to the bedroom. When he ran a cable we got it first run. This may not make you feel any better but the raid is not truly broken other than the occasional spawn kill, it's almost always internet connection issues causing the problem, I have turned down a few requests because of this fact, you will never ever get it successfully if that 1 person is lagging.

Ive had it happen where the shade followed me when he caught up he hit me out the bubble then kept chasing. Only the sword showed

It's a lottery I think, I had a fresh LFG team the other night but all perfectly capable guys, but we kept wiping due to lag issues, no damage, I was seeing enemies that were already dead, ogre teleporting etc.. And we were all green bars! As soon as the lag stopped we first timed it really easily. So I think the experience is down to chance mostly
