So I finished my first GoS run yesterday with LFG and here is some feedback. 1. Motes are bugged. Quite a few went under the floor or jumped over on the ledge... its a wipe. 2. DPS phase was unpredictable, 6 sec to 4 sec. No idea how and when. 3. Some hits never registered from xeno. Wipe stats showed equivalent of one yellow damage hit during debuff even when the whole magazine was emptied and I could see high damage number hits. 4. Ads sometimes did not spawn in both places during mote collection. 5. Coming back from mote collection (pull back) spawn and get killed by architect. My team saw me spawn on ledge and just die in mid air. This was only in boss phase because that's what took me most time. LFG is nightmare and with the dwindling population of gamers you hardly find decent people to do GoS level raids now. I got my divinity and 1st completion and I learned most of the roles in the raid. I personally like mote collection and tether roles but finding just 3 people to do it reliable took us 7 hours due to LFG mess. Yes I am inexperienced but I held my own an some people we picked up during the raid were just stupid no matter how hard we taught them. I was crying when 2 people couldn't understand 'stand in a straight line' instruction for divinity puzzle. I literally wanted to poke myself in painful ways for inviting them to the team. I explained the last boss run to the team after permission from experienced player just to test my knowledge and after first wipe 1 guy said he was just shooting ads and had no idea... other new guys in team were all OK with their roles. So Bungie, my 2 cents: Your playerbase is gone and F2P model has attracted fortnite players in your game with zero IQ for raids. Fix your bugs before selling the product or they should have been fixed one year after the release anyway. I learned a lot and can do the raid again with more confidence but I'll never do it because I got my loot and the game experience was bad. I made lots of good friends on the way but I doubt they will do this raid again because of the 4th class experience of the product for a group activity with too much commitment. Also, sunsetting. Imagine us casuals putting all hard work I gear which lasts few seasons.... nah I'm not doing this. Leave it to hard core and sweats if that's what you want. This is not a sustainable model and it won't work for a good chunk of player base. Maybe you want to cull these low end players and I think you have successfully done it. All the new f2p will soon see sweat and elites in game and go back to fortnite or whatever crap they play. This will kill the player supply and soo mid level people won't have any new people to play with because vets like the ones I played with will have moved on. So finally, the only way to play this game will be either via dodgy carry services or via some streamers channel queue. Endgame content is a mess (bugs etc). Game is a sh1tshow of community and getting players from LFG for endgame completion is much more difficult than winning a lottery. [b]Clarification on Attempts[/b] I did my first attempt using the discord group of Sherpas (link below) who taught me all about the puzzle and last 2 encounters. I had to quit as I ran out of time but learned a ton. I am in UK and most of teammates were in US so late night raid for them is early morning for me. Anyway, next day I loaded from boss and worked backwards with lfg people as I tried to do it in European time rather than US time. Still got a ton of help by East Coast players so love them all. I couldn't have done this without the help from Sherpa group and experienced players who finally showed up but a lot of inexperienced players who don't want to listen/learn/talk ruined the whole experience. /rant over Link to raid activity https://www.bungie.net/en/PGCR/6915632279?character=2305843009268349906 Edit: rephrased the xeno hit issue to explain what i was facing.
