I will chip in here with a little more info. I was playing a Thugs/FF MM. On the first attempt, I was on Woe, and did not crash. After we reformed, I was on Despair, and crashed the instant my thugs started attacking it.
...I forgot what experience means.
I was leading the raid, and we had the players who crashed on the first go switch teams; they were able to attack Woe and Gloom with no issue on the second go. Players on the 'new' Despair team crashed when they engaged the vulnerable obelisk. Also, players not on the Despair team crashed when they attacked the vulnerable obelisk.
Between the team switches I had everyone restart their computer to see if there was some kind of issue due to a memory glitch or something.
So as far as we could tell it was consistently Despair crashing players and in our instance Despair was the south west obelisk.
We had two teams of 7 and one team of 8. Not everyone that attacked Despair crashed, but I wonder if that had to do with direct damage VS AoE splash damage.

Friendly, helpful and surprisingly light on the drama.

I was one of the non-crashers on Despair. I noticed some weirdness though-- my husband was sitting next to me & his team was attacking Woe. On his screen Woe was taking damage, but to everyone on my team it looked like Woe wasn't being attacked.

About 20 of us tried to take a crack at the Cathedral of Pain today but we hit a game-breaker bug. It seems that something about the Psionic Resonator of Despair causes people to crash when they try to attack it (after the shields are down). It doesn't affect everyone, but when we moved people around between teams (so that the crashing people were attacking other Resonators), they did fine but many of the new people on Team Despair crashed out in their place. We weren't able to figure out what was special about the few that weren't crashing (I was one of them), but we were in the minority.
