A Forum Divided: Push Atheon or Legit

Legitimately defeat Atheon the way Bungie intended

54

Push him off of the edge because it's an option

37

Either or

58

So which is your method for defeating Atheon and why? Are you doing the raid for the fun and enjoyment or strictly for the loot? The forums are divided and I'd like to see everyone's opinions.

  • Everyone has milked this raid. Just look on lfg, most of the posts are begging for atheon checkpoints to glitch to get the best gear. They need to fix the checkpoint sharing. At least make it impossible to join a checkpoint further than you have made it yourself on that specific difficulty. I have no doubt there are people who haven't completed the first 80% of hard mode yet they have mythoclast,raid helmet and timebreaker. I hope bungie make the next raid a challenge, this one has been a joke. It would be fine if it actually played how they imagined it. The amount of glitches is laughable. I've completed the raid at least a dozen times. Only three times on hard but the last time I faced the hard templar I did it solo. My team had given up and one of them mentioned it being possible to solo it. YouTube confirmed this with a shield/sniper wielding ninja of a guardian. I was actually 'cheesing' it without meaning to whilst attempting this, all the enemies went over one side of the map so I stayed over the other side as common sense would dictate, it was frustratingly easy. Bungies abysmal level design has turned the vault of glass into a joke. Furthermore the reward system is terrible, for all my play throughs I have yet to achieve a level 30 character and have only received 2 weapons. Yet when I took my friend through they got all the gear they needed from just two runs as well as 4 raid weapons. I'm drowning is ascendant materials and I have so much chatterwhite I could decorate a legion of guardians. It drives me to despair after another 8 hour run through hard mode just to receive more ascendant materials. I can see why people are taking the easy way out when good rewards aren't guaranteed after such hardship.

    • I don't expect people to stop and understand we need the loot, but I'd be more prideful knowing that I beat it legitimately and not be asked if I used a broken exploit. Or knowing people are choosing to do it. It should be patched.

    • I like real, intense fights with the Bosses. That said, it can be annoying the 30th time you face him. If people want to use the exploit, fine, I just wish more people would fight the intended way.

      really? when have people done this? from what i've seen, as long as you don't hack, it's fine like halo 2. The button combos are exploiting isn't it? You kill people faster, you kill enemies faster, you get out of the map (with super bounces) By your reasoning, even though EVERYONE can do it with enough skill and practice, the should get banned in halo reach, there was a way to get behind a fence at the last part of the pillar of autumn to avoid enemy fire and kill them with ease. so that LASO would be made easier. by your reasoning bungie should ban these people too evidently that is NOT their philosophy, so don't complain
