why is Operation Seraph Shield so awful?

[Sinjin The Monke]

title

i've found at least 3 massive bugs in this mission that cause you to either restart the entire mission or have to die to reset the encounter.
Theres the key cards that need to drop from some enemies and it drops maybe 50% of the time. if it doesnt well better start over.

Theres the boss towards the end who is supposed to summon multiple waves of fallen except half the time he bugs out and doesn't do anything

then theres the security scans which sometimes just outright don't register.

thats not even bringing up how awful the FOV is for dealing with laser traps or how annoying some of the puzzle rooms for this mission has been.

WTF? who made this? Its the worst mission ive ever played since the Red war. Bungie can you do ANY quality control anymore?

The boss dies like a wet paper tissue how can you not kill him easily with 3 people. I carried 1 guy that did almost no damage and still killed him in like 3-5 minutes.

On legend difficulty? Thats cap.

Ok i just did solo legendary and only died during space walk because i suck at jumping. The boss died like a wet tissue paper and i had zero issues killing him alone.

Okay fine whatever, who gives a crap anyways.

I mean, they were just correcting your obviously false statement. I haven't done legend solo yet but even just as duo it really wasn't a problem.

I have only done it twice or three times so far, but I never encountered any bug.

I have learn when you get onto the floating Station, DO NOT SHOT the flying bots. Even if they are lighted, DON'T shot them. The bots will NOT appeared before the room where you access the red room where you get microwave. Then she said it must be booty Trap. You need the lightened drones shot in a certain pattern to get the special code.

Honestly half the time people cry bugs, it's just them not doing something correctly.

You can do whatever with those Drones, they only unlock a secret chest at the end.

For me not really, i find that if you shoot them in a specific order, you can open a required door. HOWEVER, if you shot them at the beginning on the space station, they will NOT appear later on where you get microwave then release you need to upgrade your sensory level. That what the flying bots for plus you need the scanner to do the proper order.

Honest to god, I'm not completing it solo. I had a hard enough time doing it with 3 people, despite having good damage.

Well ackchyually, legend is far easier solo, because with full group the yellow bar enemies are bullet sponges. For instance captains, on solo i drop the shield and hes dead after 3 shots from shotgun to the face. With three people in squad i drop barely half the health after four blasts. And with all the server issues lately, i don't want to spend any second longer the is necessary.

EDIT: ah i remember now, same scaling mechanic was in WQ missions, more players = more tankier enemies

In an attempt to add some facts and perspective, not opinions or variables on skill, I can add my experiences so far.

Seraph shield - Legendary difficulty.

1st run attempt - Got to 2 rooms before final boss "contacting destiny servers" Dropped. Weasel code.
2 other fireteam members, clan mates, and on discord remained online. Thanks to bungie legendary content lockout, unable to rejoin again.
Ok it happens, frustrating but we try again.

2nd attempt - got past the "capture and escape" and took out the Brig boss for the 2nd time, however one of the fireteam died, and respawned BACK in the room immediately before the 1st fight with brig boss... the other team mate and me, had "joining allies..." then got teleported back to his position and we had to fight him again.
Except this time, the exit door was locked at the end - the boss reset and we were stuck there forced to quit and start over.

Nothing about what we did was due to lack of skill, attempting to exploit or go places we shouldn't, just following the linear path laid before us.

Sadly this is not a fast instance on legendary difficulty, mobs and bosses take longer to kill if you're avoiding being killed yourself (as you will wipe and need to start over).

Not much fun in both cases, but made even more annoying when it is 100% not in your control.
