[quote]I disagree, I think it’s great for new people gives them an idea how raid mechanics work. But this community is -blam!- when it comes to teaching and team work[/quote] These raid encounters have been altered for Pantheon AND they're harder than normal mode, new players SHOULD be taught the basics in the normal mode, not this, specially not week 2 Oryx Exalted. Once players get enough exp at doing all of the different "jobs" like for example mob clear, scanner, operator (and later on suppresor when doing Taniks) if at Atrax then they can try their hand at this, that way they know what to expect. Also putting new players in midway random raid encounters ruins the first time experience of each of these raids for them, who wants to do a raid encounter at random without even having even stepped foot in the very first encounter.., that's bland and a diservice to the hard work bungo put into making these raids what they are.. People doing Atrax in Pantheon for the first time because they got asked to fill in with no exp would get it done but not get a feel for the Deep Stone Lullaby that plays right after in space.. Anyways this is Pantheon, it's meant to be a test of competence/experience/etc, not a place for new players and specially not in week 3 & 4 being pretty much contest mode levels of hard. Bungie told everyone what to expect, everyone KNEW what this mode is all about so people do not get to complain that it's no good for solo players or not accessible enough, that it causes elitism (lolwat) etc.
