Question for Vault Theory Crafters

Ive prolly spent the past two weeks with the rest of you lurking and fixing the tinfoil hat ontop of my head trying all sorts of theories and riddles and clues (Props to horizon and this community for keeping me enthralled) Last night while just doing a fun run in the Vault (On normal) I had something happen to me/us that had never happened before. Normally after you beat Atheon you're stuck with that Timer that counts down and ends at zero, well last night I actually got pulled out of the game and to a final "Score screen" like you would see at the end of a mission (Complete with Rewards recieved and all) Now i remember normally when ive died trying out theories I would end up stuck untill someone went to orbit. Im not sure if its a glitch or if someone else had experienced this before but i figured id share with the rest of you tin foil hatters out here. I know one of the latest trends is people saying theyve seen a chest or something and not have proof well As you can see from this video I was not letting that happen to me/us lol (Yes I know I held my camera sideways I was panicing and trying to record it before our raid leader took us back to orbit) Anyways I hope this helps or maybe opens a few more doors to the mysteries that we are all finding and if this is something that has happened before to someone then my mistake, Just trying to help out solve these mysteries and riddles anyway possible! Cheers Edit: For the record we did nothing special except before we killed atheon I made sure to hop my ass up on the Venus/Right Portal and shot the last of my rockets there as we killed him so both portals were left open and then we had One member go in mars/left and myself in venus/right just to look around and when we both were blind and ended up falling off a ledge after about 10 seconds it took us to the Score screen 2nd EDIT: Honestly We were doing it on our lower level guys so we could get gear so it was a quick run We didnt flawlessly open the spire we had what seemed like a lag spike of some sort (This was last night around 7:30 PST when Xboxone was having issues) So we figured it was because of the issues there. Took the normal route from the first chest (Straight behind it not the one where you jump down and under neith) 5 manned the confluxes since our 6th was a random who thought he could jump from the top of the platforms right to the conflux.... We then wiped and killed the oracles from up top followed by a push of the templar off the edge (5 warlocks ftw) Didnt grab the spirit bloom chest and continued down to the templar chest and gorgon chests, we made it flawlessly to the second one and almost to the jumping puzzle but was caught due to stupidity lol so it took us 2 times to get through the gorgons (Mind you the 2nd time was pretty quick) Again, 5 out of 6 of us had no problem making it across the jumping puzzle (I believe we all did our own way, Some just gliding over as a warlock others using 1 or 2 platforms i think?) We downed the gatekeeper first try but as the conflux finished forming we had a minotaur sacrifice at the last second so we were expunged but as the timer was counting down we all got loot so when we respawned we were on atheon Downed atheon on the 2nd try and like I said I made a point of seeing that we came out of the left portal so I ran over to the right one and formed it JUST before we downed atheon. After that We explored for maybe 5-10 minutes before me and another member decided to go into a portal each. I personally ran all the way to the top after i had a quick look around where atheon spawns and looked towards the shining light in the distance as my screen went black. I tried to get closer and closer but i fell off the edge (as I couldnt see) I did have radiance and It would not allow me to use it and about 5 seconds after each of us died It pulled us into that screen and it was at that point I kinda freaked out and put my tin foil hat back on lol So like I said nothing super out of the ordinary, just I've personally never seen that screen before and I've personally never read anyone getting it before Its always the timer stops at zero untill you go back to orbit.

  • This always happens people just never stay in the vault after killing him because they go to orbit. It happens after 5 mins.

  • Either my eyes are failing me in my advancing age or the video is a touch too grainy to actually see the numbers on the scoreboard. In the event that BeeRizzo420 is still an active member here and sees this post, could you try to remember the figures left over on the scoreboard when you got that screen? Could someone with a clearer TV and better eyes hazard a guess? I recently rethought my skepticism about these chests when I was at the wipe screen on Oracles and it played a completely different noise than the standard wipe screen we have all heard a million times. I dont always have Destiny audio at loud levels, usually blasting music 99%of the time, but I do know Ive never heard that sound before. Perhaps its akin to the 'chime' some people report at the 3 plates, although sadly I must admit Ive never consciously been on a fireteam that did plates flawlessly. Its possible but most of my VoG career consists of random lower level teams I scrape up from LFG sites and the tower, and clean trouble free runs are the exception. I do know it was normal difficulty, with a ragtag team of n00bs and squeakers (who died 10+ times on Oracles alone so it was nowhere near flawless), and 7 was the scoreboard figure for oracle kills. Sadly I was not even paying real attention, was pissed about my teams inability to clear the easiest raid CP in a sorta aimless exasperation, was coming down off drugs, but some random British kid in the team said 'Did you all just hear that sound?' and I realized what had happened, barely connecting Bungies lucky # 7 on the scoreboard to the anomaly Id experienced. Unfortunately I did not pay attention to the other figures on the board, as mentioned drugs were involved and I hadnt slept for well over 48 hours so my mental faculties were far from optimal. None of the other scoreboard figures was 7 though because that would have stood out. Another time I cheesed solo into the vault and invited some randoms to help explore the alternate path below the chest, maybe 3 randoms jumping in and out of the fireteam. Confluence was my only raid drop at the time besides Found Verdict so it was always equipped. The very first time I got into that alt entrance ever, with the Confluence out, I got a shaking screen and rumbling controller before I even turned the first corner. I wasnt overly concerned at the time, I dont think Id yet beat Atheon, but it was definitely out of the ordinary. I used to think the raid weapon component to our tinfoil epic was BS, but now Im not so sure. Raid armor was most definitely absent from this equation though. Last random thought, my first ever time crossing the jump puzzle a random told me and my buddy to follow him in the area just before gatekeepers. Im almost certain it wasnt the broken gate out there though. He said 'sometimes one spawns right here if no one dies' and he fell off the edge then jumped back into a sort of nook down there, sadly dying on 1st attempt, but still showing us where it might be after revive. Ive never been back or seen anyone else replicate or attempt. This was back when the No Teleport chest was a big deal. Guy was sherpa'ing us through the vault, definitely knew what he was doing, demeanor furthest from trolling or BSing noobs. In my mind this is intertwined somehow in our tinfoil epic. Apologies if Ive drifted off topic OP but we are scratching the surface of deeper mysteries in the vault and must probe further. Anything we can share with each other must be considered. I dont care if its 2 Ascendent Energies, I am intrigued and not gonna just brush it aside now. Gtag on XB1 is my forum handle here, would be glad to explore further possibilities with likeminded players.

  • Never had not heard of anyone else getting this. Nothing appears different to the usual wipe screen pre-Atheon death. Maybe add an edit outlining the main steps of your raid. Something might seem the norm to you but may be different to others
