Bungie reverts a bit on Vex Mythoclast, changes up Atheon Raid boss in Destiny

After the last major patch Bungie rolled out for Destiny which changed a lot of weapons, how they handled, and how much damage they did, players were more than a bit upset at the Vex Mythoclast nerf. This is after all the gun that players are rewarded with for beating Atheon, the Raid boss, on the Hard difficulty. Now granted, there are many players who obtained the gun by exploiting Atheon by pushing him off the ledge, but that still doesn't excuse it for those that legitimately beat him and got that reward.

The Vex Mythoclast, as most Destiny players know, was an extremely overpowered primary fusion rifle that dominated in PvP, and allowed players to perform some spectacular feats in PvE. It was nerfed so hard that it essentially became a regular scout rifle, with the fusion descriptor only in the gun's description. To many players that I've asked that owned the gun, it became quite useless. Well the good news for Mythoclast owners is that it will be getting some of its power back.

So that was the good news, now for the bad. After running the Raid a few times, I got used to a certain team mechanic, especially when getting to the latter part of the Raid where teleporting is a key element.

Essentially, players would form teams of Relic holder and two Oracle dispatchers, while the other three would stay behind and take out any exploding Supplicants that Atheon would summon. This team dynamic helped quell the chaos that normally ensued during the boss fight, and allowed players to hone their strategy until they got it just right. The way the teleporting worked is that it would always transport the furthest three players to the Relic.

Bungie is changing up teleporting, so instead of taking the furthest three players, it will always take three random players.
