[quote]Communication is 100% critical in VoG. [/quote] I've never laughed so hard at anything on these forums. I'm deaf, so, as you can imagine, I never use a mic. And it's very easy to see that the objectives of the raid are easy. Opening the vault is straightforward, beating the Templar is straightforward, Gorgon maze is nothing but over-glorified hide-and-seek and follow the leader, and you can get past the platforms without ever setting foot on one. The only part that is hard is setting up the Atheon battle, but once that's done, it's easy again. The mini-map tells you what portal people were transported to, and the oracles and enemies spawn in the same spots every time in the portals. Playing through the Vault of Glass on normal is not hard at all, once you beat it once, you know everything that needs to be done. Absolutely no mics are required. Playing it on Hard mode is a bit different because it requires team cohesion, but if you are really doing PuG games for Hard mode, you deserve every ounce of frustration you get.
