Did they actually add breakthrough back to comp, or are the patch notes just detailing the fixes for its eventual return?

Came across a 4x shards stack in Comp a few weeks ago and they were basically able to chain supers, it's mega bullshit

this is pretty much true of any competent 4 stack in comp regardless of team composition lol

the biggest problem by a country mile in comp regarding supers was Super Mod stacking + Dynamo.

an old d1 joke. some poster with the name of "steve" complained that the raids were inaccessible to solo players that just wanted to enjoy the sky box that bungie had built.

In his defense bungie make some drat good skyboxes, and the raid areas have a special distinctive feel and quality that is just not present or different in the rest of the game.

I don't even think it's that the raid bosses' uniqueness is the reward for using team mechanics and communication. Rather, I think that the ability to design around the expectation of good team coordination is what allows Bungie to make those bosses in the first place. If they had to be designed to be completed by randoms with no communication, they wouldn't be able to be as cool or unique, because they'd have to be a lot simpler.

this doesn't stop pubbies from blowing supers into strike bosses during their invuln stage. or dying to base level adds. or falling off the map. or

Yeah, they'd be strike bosses, which have to be designed so that one player can drag the team over the finish line even if the other two are not helping at all or AFK or whatever.

I tend to swing wildly back and forth between being the guy who does all these things and being the guy who carries the team with clutch supers and revives

Sometimes this is in the same strike

That's how I play too, but at least I'm constantly making GBS threads out orbs. I'm pretty sure most of my deaths are by misadventure though. Am I supposed to be doing something special to get exotic engrams or am I just unlucky?
