Completed the Raid, despite Bungie's best efforts (Destiny)
Last night was a mess. With our 6th on the way, 5 of us decided to go ahead and open the door to the Vault of Glass. As we touch down on Venus, 2 of our party were immediately returned to orbit.
We split up, one person to each sync pad. We actually got the tower about half-way before the Vex foiled us. Eventually we regained our other 2 players and with surprise help from 2 more randoms, the door opened.
There was another return to orbit during the Conflux stage that left us with 4 players for all 3 Confluxes--the other 2 players had arrived, but weren't able to join play until we wiped. We decided to give it a shot instead of intentionally dying.
I ended up having to solo right. It was tough, and I just barely pulled it off thanks to Nova Bomb and Corrective Measures. It was definitely fun to have the added challenge.
We also got the 2 Guardians teleported issue with Atheon. Fortunately, it was Avateur and I.
Home Team called out--"Do you need someone to come through to help?"
"No."
*Nova Bomb. Pulls out Atheon's Epilogue*
"We got this."
That part was also fun. Voidwalker FTW.
Not fun was losing all progress on the Weekly Strike right after killing the tank.
