Its not overtuned garbage. Contest mode just made it seem overtuned. No idea why I was blind like that my dudes. I apologize.
Edit: Im still slightly irritated about there being no emblem for clearing just contest mode, but I shouldnt expect a participation trophy for clearing a returning raid on one difficulty. All is good though, I have a new found purpose in obtaining the 10 carries emblem, Im glad that exists.

This is peak character development.

What? Someone holding their hands up, acknowledging the tilt and revising their opinion? Is this bnet?! 😂 We're back to clapping Atheon lol, I actually really like what they've done with this fight.
-
My only problem is more complicated mechanics. I don’t find it difficult, but there are too many people that don’t even know what counterclockwise means let alone shooting oracles in order. Honestly I just wanted an easy chill raid where you don’t have to do too much. But it is what it is, that and the mechanics might have grown on me a little.
-
Wait hold up, did I read that right? Someone on these forums admiting they were wrong? Am I dead? Aye big props to you man. I respect that.
-
Dude I'm trying to get 10 Sherpas for the emblem and everyone just cry's to cheese him. People don't realize how easy he is.
-
Respect
-
Most people complaining about VoG are only complaining because they didn’t understand what Contest mode was lmao.

-
My only problem was the frames
-
Big respect for revisiting a topic and coming around to what the actual heart of the frustration was.

Edited by michael: 5/28/2021 4:59:05 PMThis is why I said about 20 times the day after contest that you should absolutely not judge a raid's difficulty by contest day. It is a once a year event that is supposed to test the best teams, it is NOT representative whatsoever of the intended difficulty of the raid. If you have any critiques about difficulty always give it a few days for strategies to come out and metas to form before saying it is too hard etc, because every single year there have been complaints about difficulty on day 1 and every year without fail the complaints have dissapeared after a week as people realize that day 1 is an anomaly.
-
Yeah, contest mode just made this raid obscenely radical, but since we can live for more than 5 seconds it’s far cleaner
-
Hey, you were big enough to re evaluate an opinion and come back and say that. Props
-
The entire raid is fine except the detainment. I really wish they’d let us shoot ourselves out. Or Atleast don’t let the relic holder become detained.
-
The only real things that even bug me about the raid are Atheon's oracles (could be slightly more lenient on time to shoot imo) and detaining the relic holder (they of all people should be allowed to break themselves out), and the former is more of a small nitpick than a major complaint.
-
I prefer it to the OG encounter - gives the folks not teleported something to do other than hide from suppies
-
Character development ❤
-
Huh. Congrats. You are mature.
-
Props to you for admitting you have a new opinion based on new information/experience. There are SO many people who would rather go down in flames than ever admit they were wrong. I haven't even played it but I was jumping on the bandwagon because I'm extremely introverted and even jumping into a raid group throws me out of my comfort zone. (I've tried clans but they usually end up being a core of people with little opportunity to get into the raids if you're a newer member)
-
Much respect for actually taking back the initial claim, unlike many who failed contest mode and came to cry
-
Good for you. Yeah you just need a solid team
-
The group I was with did the kill him in Venus cheese

I got an invite into a Fireteam on Sunday. I was the only one who cleared the Raid, everyone else didn't know the encounter. After a few runs of them learning the Oracle locations, getting used to Detainment, and just staying alive, all five agreed that the encounter was straightforward and not that bad.
-
It’s definitely a lot easier than it was day one, but it’s still a raid that I am highly discouraged from taking anyone new through it. And I try to cheese it whenever possible because it entertains me more than the actual mechanics.
-
eh, oracles are better after contest mode is gone than atheon. Too much can go wrong with an LFG team (how I always do raids) to make it fun.
