But what if I didn't see Oryx slamming? (Destiny)

When Oryx starts moving from the top of the level to slam, there is nothing left alive. Everyone is busy getting into position- but if you can't be bothered to notice whether he goes left or right in that 15-second stretch (when you're not doing ANYTHING more important, except maybe collecting ammo), you're not going to be much use in a hard-mode raid.

There's a minimum level of observation that's CRITICAL - and figuring out where he's slamming is really below that level.

There aren't really two ways about this one. :(

not to mention, after he slams, he just stays there. lol

If you are the runner, or doing a platform, then you should be paying attention to where he goes (no matter if you do numbers, or a set assigned platform) b/c you need to know where he went and what order the platforms need to be activated. If you are a floater, then you need to know where he is so you can kill the ogres in order.

If you can't be bothered to know where Oryx is, then you are being a bad teammate and wasting everyone's time. Every part of that encounter relies on knowing what platform Oryx is at.
