*** Destiny Raid & PvP discussion thread ***

It isnt really - beyond Crota making detours he should be dead after 4/5 waves. Problem is that a single death eventually causes a wipe and missing a chance to damage him usually leads the same way...

Rockets should be used to get most of his shield down (just need 1 'horn for the first phase and perhaps 2 for the second) while primaries are used to ensure it doesnt regenerate and a bit of time for the sword bearer to get in place.

The only difficult things are when he moves or when you get the ogres and have to return to your routine.

Once youve got it down it just clicks! I disagree about communication - thats a must, usually when something goes wrong!

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Our sword guy stopped even asking about his shield, just went up and did his thing.

Suddenly it just clicks and everyone does their thing and he goes down. We even had to deal with an oversoul in our winning run, IIRC. :D

Haven't found a decent group since mind.
 
Back at my parents'. Just set my Xbox up so I'm good to go now. VoG sounds good, hopefully this internet holds up!

Need to do Nightfall as well if anyone else needs it :D

I still need to do it on my alt. Say, 7:45? Also need to do the Weekly on both characters.
 
Just ran my hunter through VoG and realised how much I prefer it! Even with a streamer into the group faffing about and a couple of newbies.

Crota fight sucks IMO. Only thing that matters is guy taking the shield down communicating with sword bearer to get the timing right. Boring fight for everyone else, Atheon is much more fun.
 
Cheers for the raids tonight guys. I'd all but given up on VoG but managed to get Corrective Measure at long last, so I'm chuffed with that. It's also a much more fun raid compared to Crota.

Speaking of which, the Crota cheese is pretty ridiculous! I got Black Hammer out of it though so I'm certainly not complaining! They'll surely patch that up pretty quickly. As it is, especially with the other exploits, I can see under half hour completions being pretty easy to do.
 
Black hammer dropped for me tonight too. Just need the rocket launcher and an armour set for my main & I'm good.

Managed to jump in on a game with a guy who was streaming us on twitch, he drops in on peoples games and helps them out it seems. The guy was a beast with the sword, knew Crota's movements and timings to the second. Gave precise instructions when to start shooting the swordbearer & Crota. Two rotations and he was done, literally about 3-4 minutes when we got our act together.

Seems he used Hunter invisibility to stand right next to Crota so he could damage him the second his shields were down, before he even took a knee!

The group was awful too, I almost bailed whilst we were in the tower... :eek:
 
Man all these raid exploits are really lame..

What's the god damn point of playing when there is no way of telling if a player with 4/4 raid armor earned it legit or not (and in my experience majority of the community is cheesing content right now)...

Zzzzz
 
I've done every part of Crota's end legit, recent runs have used the exploit for the bridge as it's easier/quicker.

I've been in games where nobody has done the bridge legit yet so there's a good chance that'll be a sticking point in future.

VoG was just as bad for expoilts, the amount of people pushing Atheon off his ledge was crazy. Full forum pages begging for the checkpoint/warlocks to help 'cheese'.
 
Can crota boss be cheesed? Only one I know of is leader logging off when he's down, and that proves more effort than it's worth doing properly. If you're in a good team then crota is pretty easy period.

It is stupidly easy when you get it right but I agree Crota isn't difficult it just takes time to get the timing down. But boring fight is boring, Atheon is better as everyone is doing something.
