[b]Please [i]READ[/i] before voting![/b] The idea is to add a "practice run" for the two Raids; an Easy Mode that can be completed Solo , and would help new players to learn how the Raid works, how to tackle each encounter, where to find Raid chests... or just provide an additional activity to play for fun. Here's what would separate Easy Mode for both Vault of Glass from Normal & Hard Modes. Easy Mode is optimized for SINGLE-PLAYER, and does not give Raid gear as rewards; it does however give some special Rare weapons as rewards from challenges and Raid chests, and tutorial pop-ups (which appear when you summon your Ghost) serve to teach players what to expect when playing on Normal or Hard. [b][u]Vault of Glass[/u] (Easy)[/b] [i]-Level 24 Raid[/i] [u][b]Gameplay Differences[/b][/u] [i]-Players are given clear instructions for each challenge. -Tips for Normal & Hard modes appear when a player summons their Ghosts. -Enemies are Level 24 and Level 25.[/i] [u][b]The Spire[/b][/u] [i]-Praetorians spawn less often. -The Spire deconstructs at a slower rate. -The Spire forms at a faster rate. -Players can "lock" all 3 Sync Plates by controlling a single Sync Plate.[/i] [u][b]The Templar's Well[/b][/u] [i]-Fewer Fanatics spawn during the first phase. -The second and third parts of the Conflux phase have shorter duration. -Oracles have longer charge times and less health. -Dropping the Relic no longer gives Curse of the Aegis.[/i] [u][b]The Gorgon's Labyrinth[/b][/u] [i]-Gorgons have less health. -Gorgon's Gaze now takes longer to charge. [/i] [u][b]The Glass Throne[/b][/u] [i]-When Vex take control of a Sync Plate, players are given a 20 second timer before the Timegate closes. -The Conflux does not spawn until both Timegates gave been cleared.[/i] [u][b]Atheon, Time's Conflux[/b][/u] [i]-Timegates open automatically when Atheon opens the Timestream. -Players are give 1 minute to clear the Oracles before the Timegate closes. -Curse of the Aegis no longer results in a wipe. -Curse of the Aegis now cancels Time's Vengeance.[/i] [u][b]Loot[/b][/u] [i]-Legendary Raid weapons and armor do not drop on Easy mode. -Rare variations of Raid weapons drop on Easy mode; these drop more frequently on Easy. -Ascendant Materials may be earned from Templar and Atheon encounters.[/i] [b][u]Loot Table[/u] (Easy)[/b] -These Rare variations of Raid weapons are better than most Rares, with preset perks and a maximum of 267 Attack, but are still inferior to their Legendary counterparts; both in PvE and PvP. [b]Atheon's Prologue[/b] - Rare Auto-Rifle [i](Kinetic Damage/Persistence/Fitted Stock)[/i] [b]Constants and Variables[/b] - Rare Scout Rifle [i](Kinetic Damage/Full-Auto/Third Eye)[/i] [b]No Fate[/b] - Rare Hand-Cannon [i](Kinetic Damage/Counterbalance/Explosive Rounds)[/i] [b]Praedyth's Stopwatch[/b] - Rare Pulse Rifle [i](Kinetic Damage/Headseeker/Extended Mag)[/i] [b]Praedyth's Vigil[/b] - Rare Sniper Rifle [i](Void Damage/Surplus/Field Scout)[/i] [b]Warden of Glass[/b] - Rare Shotgun [i](Arc Damage/Full-Auto/Field Scout)[/i] [b]Praetorian Seeker[/b] - Rare Fusion Rifle [i](Solar Damage/Hip-Fire/Accelerated Coils)[/i] [b]Hezen Enforcer[/b] - Rare Rocket Launcher [i](Solar Damage/Tripod/Javelin)[/i] [b]Corrective Protocol[/b] - Rare Machine Gun [i](Void Damage/Perfect Balance/Field Scout)[/i] That's all I got for now; let me know what you think, and I'll outline Easy Mode for Crota's End later. If you have any thoughts or suggestions as to better train players for the actual Raids in Easy Mode, post them here.
