One of the top Destiny clans, Redeem, lost their chance at winning the world's first spot for completing the new hard mode version of the latest raid, Wrath of the Machine, after they encountered a game breaking bug that set them back 6 minutes.
Redeem are already the current record holders for Wrath of the Machine's normal mode and were expected to take the title again in the harder version. They were livestreaming their progress through the raid, which launched 10pm on October 18th, when they ran into an issue. At around the 24 minute mark the team were seen to suddenly wipe after finishing the raid's middle section, the Death Zamboni encounter, with the whole team sent back to the respawn screen.
The team has determined that one member went too far ahead causing the game to think they were cheating, even though the encounter had been finished and it then proceeded to reset their progress in that section. This is currently a known bug in Destiny which will hopefully be patched up soon. Redeem did recover from the bug, but were reset to the start of the encounter they had just completed setting them back six minutes and costing them the title of world's first to complete the hard raid.
A relatively unknown team from Germany ended up taking the title called, Clan Die Busfahrer, which translates to The Bus Drivers. Bungie put out a tweet soon after the top teams had finished recognising the top 3 teams with Redeem still managing to pull out a third place despite the unfortunate bug. As you can imagine Redeem were frustrated by the outcome but in a show of sportsmanship congratulated Die Busfahrers on their victory.
"This was our first run throughout the Wrath of the Machine Hard Mode," Redeem wrote. "GGs to Clan Die Busfahrers aka The Bus Drivers for getting World's First. We got world's third, behind The Legend Himself."
