After about 2 weeks of attempts we have finally downed normal mode Atheon on our own with no gimmicks.
Now yes I am aware that thousands of players beat him everyday and that thousands beat him on hard everyday, I understand I am not special. However I am extremely proud to be a member of the clan I am in. We worked hard together, figuring out who can do what the best and where the best spots to be are. (Plus a few upgrades between the start and now helped too!) We put in at least 3 hours a day trying to defeat him to no avail and it seemed like he would just simply never die.
But all that has changed. We downed him. We basked in the glorious music of returning to the mission complete screen. The sounds of gear being put into my inventory via the side of my screen. Everyone yelling what they got so we could all be excited for each other.
Thank you Bungie, for giving me a raiding experience with close friends I have not been able to find since downing Sulfuras for the first time back in Vanilla WoW. You have earned my 60 dollars and more and have nothing but excitement for what challenges you plan ahead for me next.

Nice! I'm taking it on next weekend for my first time. Me and my luck Mida Multitool will conquer to VoG alongside my fellow guardians.

Good for you. It will never be as sweet as the first time. Frantically shooting, running, cleansing, near death and then someone yells... He's dead! He's dead! Complete disbelief comes over you and then you realize the chamber is empty. You sit back in your chair with a quiet sense of accomplishment and pride in yourself and your team. Priceless and that's what makes this a great game.

I remember my first time Congratulations!

Hey nobody thinks of you as a newbie for taking down atheon just now, at this current point of the game where everyone pretty much done it already. I remember my first time, took us 1 and a half days to figure out how we can take him down. that was during the 3rd week since release. we had no experience whatsoever. we know the feeling of finishing the raid for the first time, feels light like after you take a dump xD anyways congratulations for finishing the raid without gimmick or help from the experienced.

Wait...how did you get a mission complete screen?! O_O

Congrats!

Congrats man!

Congrats. So what did you get? I got raid gloves my first time.
