Vespers Host 2nd Encounter is a problem now
I have noticed a big difference in the way that the Raneiks receives damage ever since Bungie changed the boss health and the number of servitors that are in the encounter. They made this change so that Hunters could use tether. Completing this encounter solo is a total nightmare. I’m sure this is going into a black hole and nobody is listening but I thought I would try to let the developers know how much longer this encounter is now and it will make less people play this dungeon. Please remove the tether and go back to how this boss was before the recent changes. The player count is struggling. We need more people playing and doing solo flawless attempts. This is the most recent dungeon and many new and seasoned players will do this one time and probably not come back to it due to these changes.

I went back in there last week to try a run after the new change. The way the 2nd encounter is designed now you either need to run 3x Stasis Titans (as per usual), a Tether and 2 other burst supers such as Thundercrash or Nova Bomb just to clear it in the least amount of time. I like the fact that Tether has been re-enabled but the cost to do so seems way too high and way off mark. I hate it when the most efficient way to complete an encounter is to run a super specific build or a certain class. All classes and subclasses should have a potent and varied enough set of abilities to be able to clear all encounters in any content if you optimise and use them correctly. They need to tweak the boss health to be 15-20% less and I think then they’ll have found the sweet spot. -

I agree, tried my solo run today and I was 7 phases deep when it failed and only had 8.8milloon damage with x20 parasite and x6 feast song of flame. I think some damage scaling is needed after the change.

19 RepliesEdited by Blackheart-III: 1/27/2025 8:04:25 AMI put off my solo for ages only to be met with this just now. I knew the whole run in general was going to be a slog anyway, but having to do 5-6 phases on Raneiks and then dying to an exploder shank when I had him nearly dead was incredibly demoralising. The encounter's long and tedious as it is. Even if you aren't going for the flawless, soloing this after the patch is just painful and unenjoyable now. I guess I shouldn't have left it so late, but also, I didn't expect them to screw this up that bad.

1 ReplyI think that when the next dungeon comes out people should refrain from buying it! Let them feel the pinch in their wallets/purses and let the voices be heard and I'm not talking about their boot-licking youtubers I'm talking about the players voices!

1 Reply[quote]The player count is struggling. We need more people playing and doing solo flawless attempts.[/quote] If you're going to make the player count argument, you're going to need to use an activity/accomplishment with a MUCH bigger player number tied to it, cause even if we dumped ALL of the solo flawless people back into the player pool that aren't already in there, you're going at a structure fire with a squirt gun lol.

2 RepliesGiven the comments here I’m just going to post this video. This man doesn’t have as many subscribers as he should. He’s an amazing player and spits facts. It’s probably because his accent might be hard for non-Brits to understand. Bungie needs to listen to us and him about the game. If we don’t stop people leaving then there will eventually be no game. I believe his solutions, which are ones myself and many of us have been on about here for a while now, must be implemented.

9 RepliesEdited by CorvusCorax: 1/26/2025 11:55:07 PMTether has made this boss easier for fireteams. We 2 phased in master, last night. Probably 2/3 damage done in the 1st phase. I must respectfully disagree and approve of the changes.
-
That’s why I’m glad I got my loot and never have to play it again. Second encounter was fine till they nerfed ignitions (I’m sure stasis is next when revenant is over), and the lightning on the final encounter ruins the dmg phase.

2 RepliesI managed a comfy 4 phase on my prism stasis titan. Wasn't bad, and was still ironing things out. I'm very confident in a 3 phase.
-
Yeah, I gotta agree, that boss takes an infuriating amount of time to kill now. You used to be able to pretty consistently 2 phase it, now it's rarely quicker than a 3 phase.
-
I think the biggest issue is boss specific nerfs on things like ignition. Just a slap in the face tbh.
-
I would say instead, just put the boss' health back to what it was before Tether got enabled without disabling Tether. There was no real reason Tether should have been disabled for 94 days other than the fact the company laid off all except for one of their QA team. Even then, should not have been disabled and such a health bump is unreasonable with the current state of the game. No one wants an activity to take hours on end because a lot of people still have other things they need to do in life.

This is currently the only solo flawless dungeon I haven't completed and I don't plan to. I hate the final boss encounter. The stress isn't worth it.

1 ReplyEdited by Zoidberg: 1/26/2025 10:26:35 PMThis boss shouldn't transform and should have a longer dps phase. Tbh, it should not have released period. If all aspects of the game don't work with it. It's not done.
-
Since the changed we've wiped on the encounter twice, the big servitor stays present for a bit even after the little ones spawn and still uses its integration attack. It wasn't perfect before, but I'm 2 for 2 on that happening resulting in a wipe or half a dps phase

3 RepliesThe more solo/flawlesses of vespers host there are, the more Icebreakers there will be in the wild. Bungie likes to gatekeep so they can’t have that.

1 ReplyEdited by l Xemnas: 1/26/2025 11:06:19 PMhttps://www.xbox.com/play/media/vSiTzXL8Fn Still got error coded after a hunter used tether. Don't know if it was the cause or not.

Bungie turned red with rage when only one of the dungeon bosses was a huge time sink

I was going to attempt a solo flawless on this one but now I kinda don’t. Thanks for the heads up.
