Pantheon isn't very good

Hello. I have 1500 full raid clears, 500 Sherpa runs, every available raid seal, a day 1 completion, low guardian runs on every raid, and flawless runs on most raids. Pantheon is kind of awful. It's not that the idea is bad, it's the execution. The time trial + the low light makes it inaccessible to most players who aren't like me. The problem with that is that most players are not like me. Which means, in order for me to get this done, and do the time trial, I have to gatekeep my fireteam, and I honestly dont like gatekeeping my fireteam. In a normal raid, I can handle a few people who don't have the best meta or the most experience. No big deal. Teach em, tell em where to find meta, etc. For Pantheon, it feels so elitist. I gotta tell clan mates and friends that they need the latest meta (or something close) since a couple of the damage checks can be rough without them (2 flooring caretaker and 2 phasing planets boss). I don't like that. I want to bring my more casual or less experienced friends in and help them have a good time. I'd be doing 3 of these a day if they were more accessible to people who's entire vocabulary doesn't consist of calling everybody "sh*tter". But, they don't want to because there's no reason to if you can't do time trials, and they don't have the very latest damage meta. And then, on top of that, the time trials don't make sense. You have enough time for 2 full Atraks damage phases, but you have to 2-floor caretaker to do it in time. Why? That doesn't really make sense. The additions aren't bad, like the minotaurs in golgy, but combined with everything else,this is an activity designed to be watched on twitch, not played by even half of your existing player base. This should've been done differently.

  • I agree. I tried to do some last night, it is a bit too hard at least for the whole group. And I may not be an elitist nor have hundreds of clears but I have done a few of each raids. I am a bit disappointed with the Pantheon game mode. Also, Bungie should’ve made it more playable to try bring more players into doing possibly more future raids, not divide the playerbase even further especially this game is nearly on life support.
