This is some kind of joke right?
Just read the Reef update post and I see a paragraph and a half devoted to the new freaking glowing ball in the Tower. Oooooo we love the ball, it's great, so much work went into designing it, blah, blah, it makes us feel warm and gooey inside, etc,etc, etc...
Meanwhile the actual game, you know the one we play, has become a schizophrenic mess. Constant error codes booting myself and my teammates to the title screen. Enemies disappearing and reappearing within seconds, Last time I checked Dregs couldn't teleport. Teammates appearing dead on my screen and one of my teammates screens only to be very much alive and telling us via headset he had no idea what we were talking about.
And arguably the best activity in the game on hard, is unplayable. We were stunned at what was happening in VOG. Crap we had never seen before. One word, Templar.
This thing was soooo messed up it made Crota look like a level two shank by comparison. And lets just get this out of the way now, no we were not noobs that need to '' Get gud brah '' We have played this idiot many times before and have beaten him soundly and with time to spare. With five veteran 32's on our team, and one 31, all with previous VOG experience, this should have been cake. Instead it turned into a glitch fest filled nightmare.
Magical harpies appearing out of nowhere, double sometimes triple detainments when they were not supposed to happen, no supers working, in particular self res, on my screen yellow bar is full and glowing, super was up, died went to pop it, nope, l1-R-1 simply not there, Templar triple teleporting like a crackhead, Templar appearing to crumble and die on several players screens only to ironically, self res himself and teleport to safety. Oracles being destroyed only to reappear with full health, relic holder dying from being marked a full ten seconds after cleansing, and sometimes double and triple cleansing just to be sure, didn't matter, Templar splash damage penetrating and killing players inside Ward of Dawn, three players with Gally, two with Hunger, and we got to enrage almost every try.In effect making the Templar harder to down then Crota. I haven't seen anything like this in this game before. A mini boss that should have taken us ten minutes tops, wound up taking three hours and I'm not even going to start on Atheon, we quit before that, but from what I have been hearing that part is even worse.
But I come on here today, and see a post about this stupid glowing ball. Are you kidding me? How in the world, seriously I'm really asking, how in the world is anyone supposed to take you seriously as game designers and developers when the most important activity that you launched the game with becomes completely broken and literally winds up taking a back seat to a freaking glowing ball that nobody gives two shit about? I can only assume if VOG weapons and gear are getting light level facials and increased multipliers, that VOG will become relevant again, however, as it stands now, at least on hard, it's unplayable. Simply unplayable. And that, at this stage of the game, is simply unforgivable. Is it any wonder HOW is not going to have a raid? After what I just witnessed I can see why. But hey, we have a glowing ball.
btw, not everybody plays this game in the offices of Santa Clara or wherever, sipping lattes, and programming in between Yoga classes with their game plugged into the freaking HAL 9000 ok. Don't come on here with '' Duh, it's connection brah '' learn to read, this went on for almost three hours, do you honestly think we didn't change host during that time at least on three occasions? Dedicated servers, learn what they are.

Edited by semi sentient: 4/18/2015 3:25:49 AMIt's not just VoG either. CE is even worse than before. Now he chases sword runners into the Ogre room and wipes out the entire fireteam. This happened no less than 5 times today on the 2 hard runs that I did. Isn't that lovely? If not that then he's apparently built up immunity to Gjallahorn as I saw him just stand and smile as 5 32's unloaded their payload. ... and since when has the Swordbearer gone up the stairs and into the Crystal room? But yeah, ball.

All hail the mighty glow cloud

What hits more balls then a baseball bat?.............Bungies face

i agree with you so much I also made a post about it... lol https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/116188602/0/0/1

Yeah I really feel like the ball article is a whole pisstake on the community, like 'lets poke these guys with a stick and laugh at their reaction while the money keeps flowing in'
-
dregs teleporting? your VoG is really messed up.
-
Bump cus op is god
-
Never had any of these issues fix ur connections patch has been Amazing
-
OK sounds awesome, where is the video? Bungie has stated feedback post will be taken seriously with evidence presented. To me this sounds like trolling. Its simple "Xbox record that" or game DVR for five minute version. Or whatever ps4 has.
-
Those are all connection problems. I 5 manned VOG HM yesterday. It went perfect. All of us had green bars. obviously connection issues I haven't had a single error in the entirety I've played destiny. Not once. It's connections and your internet not Bungies problem
-
I've run 3 vaults this week, I haven't noticed any of those things. I have noticed that the templar does seem to be taking an inordinate amount of time to kill, and there seem to be a lot more harpies swarming. Outside of those two things all 3 runs were smooth.
-
Beat VOG on hard two times yesterday. it actually seemed easier than before.

I've had this happen. But only whe. Playing cross country. Like me with my aussi friends or Brits. But not us-us Eh who knows lol
-
Okay, I stopped reading after your description of the game: "it's a schizophrenic mess." Just started laughing so hard. I agree by the way.
-
Sounds like connection issues
-
My team when shit like that starts happening. Back out go to orbit. The player with The best connection starts of were you guys left. Most of the glitches happen because of connection issues. That's why when I'm raiding with my team. There are only 2 or 3 of use that are the leader.
-
Hey dude! Don't complain! It's hard designing and putting a ball of that caliber in this game! We should be thanking them for making us not get shit easy and for upgrading our dear dear purple ball.
-
I pretty much stopped raiding once I hit level 32. Too many glitches to put up with.
-
I raided yesterday on HM Templar twice and it was fine for the most part.
-
Amen. Well stated.
-
What console do you use? Ive been looking for more raid teams to know. All the old ones split
-
All hail the purple ball.
