.@Destiny2Team @DestinyTheGame really think The Desert Perpetual needs to be released on contest again. There were far too many bugs, almost too many to name - we had weapon bugs affecting multiple guns (Tlord, LoW etc), the slow bug affectively killing runs, rally banner bug, immortal eye bug for the hydra, the portals not working properly for damage extension on hobgoblin. These are just the ones I can name from the top of my head. For the first time that I can remember the World's First Race was DIRECTLY affected by this, due to ANOTHER mechanical bug on the final boss stopping @Tyraxe and his team being able to clear, which I'm sure everyone at bungie is just as annoyed about. This bug was so impactful due to other teams not getting it at all, resulting in the playing field most certainly not being fair. This sucks to see not just from a player's perspective, but also a viewer's one as well. There were more bugs that seemed to miss out on other teams as well, for example my own team had a bug in the boss damage arena where the poles/buffs would spawn in irregular places making it almost impossible to start damage unless we somehow guess our way through the mechanic. I have asked around, speaking to many teams that have cleared the raid - only one other team to my knowledge had even heard of this bug. Again, making the playing field not fair. You did a really good job with this raid bugs aside, having 4 boss encounters that were all uniquely difficult made this a very fun and challenging experience. What I'm trying to say is that ALOT of time was wasted for many teams, and it was completely out of their control. It would be a shame to have to look back at the edge of fate in a year's time and having nothing to say but "oh it was incredibly buggy" and that "the raid race meant nothing". You've extended the contest time for SD and VoTD before, and I think it should done for The Desert Perpetual because of the before mentioned reasons. Thanks for reading xx
