The new raid in Destiny 2 “Oath of the Student” premiered on Saturday, March 5. Many players arrived to claim the Day-One title without knowing that plenty of bugs and errors awaited them.
What did players struggle with? Despite the competitive mode and the heavy damage that players have to endure in the first hours of the raid, many Guardians also struggled with errors and bugs. Countless videos of desperate players on Day-One adorn reddit.
Either dubious error codes were to blame, or successful boss phases were not recognized and had to be repeated. Nevertheless, the raid itself was praised and celebrated by many Guardians.
Errors and bugs were the true bosses
The reddit user Vak2003 posted a video showing how buggy certain moments in the Day-One raid were. They fought against the “Caretaker”.
All Guardians from the squad gathered to deal damage to the boss. A small health bar kept the boss alive and the squad’s players had an easy job. They defeated the last health points of the boss and sent him to the virtual afterlife.
But there was not much time to celebrate, as the fight was not recognized as complete. The Guardians were consumed by the darkness and had to approach the phase again.
What has Bungie done about it? Bungie apologized to the players. To actively address the issue, Guardians without season or DLC expansions were placed in a queue to not further burden the servers.
This was lifted. However, it was assured that further server improvements would be carried out.
Furthermore, Bungie extended the competitive mode until Monday, March 7, at 7 PM.
This gives players a longer chance to snag the exclusive Day-One emblem. Despite the technical escapades, many players found the raid to be very good. Datto, who nearly secured the title for Day-One, said that the “Oath of the Student” is among the best raids in Destiny.
But how did you find the raid? Did you venture into Day-One? Or would you rather wait until this evening and try to tackle the raid relaxed in normal mode? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Even Datto had fun in the new raid, even though he had to give up the title due to 3 minutes.
