Thoughts and Opinions about Atheon's Revenge.
So, the update just went live. Atheon can no longer be pushed off his platform. He'll also select people at random to be thrown across time. He's a real bastard, eh?
I talked a lot to the developers about your opinions on the matter. You don't want to be selected at random. You want to choose who gets to fetch the Relic under fire from those nasty Oracles. I spoke on your behalf. Your voice was heard. We discussed your concerns.
I even said "Why not just change Hard Mode and leave Easy Mode alone?"
I was told "The Raid is never supposed to be easy."
At that point, I recalled all the times I stood and delivered the line "...the most challenging encounter we've ever created." It was hard to disagree. As a veteran of Cairo Station on Legendary in Halo, I had to admit that I had been carried through the Raid like luggage assigned to my clan. I did my own carrying later, but carrying had been done.
This is an activity that was designed to be undertaken by a hardcore team that is ready and willing to adapt and improvise to changing battle conditions. Like the moment when the Templar shields random players, the Final Boss was supposed to be extremely dangerous. While we've been working on some of the other things for which you've been asking (i.e. better exotics, voice chat in matchmaking, more bounties), the designers who made the Raid have plugged the holes that you showed them.
If you got in on the ground floor of this thing, we thank you. If you understand the mechanics for how to beat Atheon, it's still a thing you can teach your friends. If you're all up to the challenge, the Raid is waiting for you.
Let's talk about it. Please sound off in this thread, and know that I'll be reading.

2 RepliesMy feedback only reflects a myself and a few friends of mine. Most of us are glad that Atheon cannot be pushed off merely because it took us longer than doing it properly. Also, if anyone had to Raid outside our normal group, we would get annoyed at people that had no clue how to do it any other way. That is neither Bungie or Deej's fault. If anything they made this better. The random teleporting thing makes me laugh since Deej said in a previous update that the furthest 3 people would be teleported was not originally intended by design. They intended it to be random. If everyone was running around trying to kill supplicants and put mediocre damage on the boss then without paying attention it would feel random. The next time people run raid, those who have never used the relic should pick it up and get used to it. The majority of players are frustrated with the random loot table and how everything is on said table. I've had great luck (Vex and helmet) bad luck (Chatterwhite and the Ship) and weird luck (Found verdict after Oracles and again after templar, same run making it my 4th and 5th time earning that same shotgun, same stats, same perks exactly equal) I believe most people want a guaranteed chance for a piece of armor since, as of 10/28, it is the only way to 30. I doubt this will be done and frankly, most of us won't care since the rest of the game is fun anyways. I may be one of the few but I do believe Deej is doing his job because otherwise he probably wouldn't have his job. Also, they will never release a transcript or video of a Developer meeting, the same way your favorite TV show won't release their entire season's story arc before the second episode airs. The majority of players do not know the nature of coding or how games work (myself included) and do not understand how long an update takes to create -> debug -> test -> debug again -> test -> release. Not to mention how many departments that takes to do an update, or how a small piece of coding could affect some other seemingly unrelated department and that also needs to be debugged. Maybe a bit of a rant but there are plenty of players, like me, who love this game, can't wait for updates, patches, expansions and just around anything else to do with Destiny.
