Seeking contest mode clarification

[quote]Vesper's Host, the new dungeon coming with Revenant, will be released on Friday, October 11. Not only will it be the first dungeon to have Contest Mode enabled, but we’re also excited to announce the Vesper’s Host Dungeon Race. As we’ve done with raids in the past, we’re inviting the top fireteams in the world to compete for glory (and prizes) in a race to the finish line. It's going to be a bit different compared to a raid: this time, the first three fireteams to finish the dungeon will be crowned winners and rewarded. For those brave Guardians looking to take on the challenge, here is what you can expect. Details Contest Mode will be enabled for 48 hours. Normal Mode will be available as soon as the first three teams clear the dungeon. You will need to be at 1985 Power Level to be at the cap through all the encounters. Entry Requirements Assemble a fireteam of three players and start the Vesper’s Host dungeon in Contest Mode from the planet system map. All fireteam members must own The Final Shape Dungeon Key and acquire the quest “Rogue Network” from Spider in the Last City Seasonal hub. Completion Criteria Once the final encounter is complete, the fireteam must loot the final chest or their finish may not be recorded. A team's official finish will be recorded when they loot the final chest. At least one member of the fireteam must have completed and received loot for every encounter and it must be the first time completing the activity for all members of the fireteam. For full details on eligibility and requirements for the race, please visit our official rules. Contest Mode Details Contest Mode applies some very specific rules to raids, and now dungeons. Enemies are more aggressive, encounters feature resurrection tokens, and some encounters will have an enrage mechanic that limits the number of phases or the time players have left to complete it. Also, character Power does not provide an advantage above the recommended level. Those of you that triumph over this challenge during the first 48 hours after the dungeon launches will earn bragging rights, a special emblem, and the dungeon Exotic weapon. Yes, it's a guaranteed reward during Contest Mode. You have plenty of time to prepare for what's to come and to put together an incredible fireteam. For those who aren’t interested in Contest Mode, you won’t have to wait 48 hours to take your shot at the new dungeon. Normal Mode will be enabled as soon as the first three fireteams have completed the dungeon.[/quote] The part of this that I don't think reads well is [quote]it must be the first time completing the activity for all members of the fireteam.[/quote] Is this just about the race, or can you only run the contest mode with one set of friends to guarantee an ice breaker drop?

  • It more than likely means you can't do it with someone who completed contest mode, then have them go through it with you and another person to complete it again
