We can totally do him in two swords: Crota 75% damage in 1 sword
As soon as he starts shielding up again, rockets should be in the air ready to hit him immediately. That guy goes for 5 hits, 5 hits, then 4 hits (1 heavy, super, 2 heavy). I don't think he gets the 5th hit in with the first 2 rounds, and possibly not the first hit on the 2nd round either.
It should be absolutely doable to get 4 hits, 4 hits, 3 hits (including 1 super) which should easily get him below half health. 2 of those and he's dead.
EDIT: Just watched the Ogre room strategy too and it also looks like a very good one to try. I'd be up for doing that one first as it looks the easier of the two - less stressful and reliant on timing.

After spending the last couple of evenings and sometime during the day afternoon, and just getting no where, really close a few times but like Mr Jones mentioned earlier, it's usually some silly bad luck which causes it go up in smoke! I'm really not enjoying the hard mode version of crota's end, all they've done is chucked in a load of bullet sponge enemies and made everything 1 level higher so it's just artificially harder by the penalties we have put on us.
It's just boring and annoying. Normal is good fun and it's enjoyable (I think anyway), but hard mode is just awful I think.

In a way I am glad it is that tough, it means only a select few will complete it. In a couple of weeks, with practice, we'll do well. Its just the initial phase.
Like Kris mention earlier, in 6 weeks time, HoW is out and we'll all cake walk it with level increase.

My main issue with it is that it relies on split second timing and communication...but is built on an engine that has clients operating out of sync with each other.
10 second time Windows are fine with this setup, see oracle, atheon etc. <1 second timing which is what you need for CE HM just isn't working on this engine. We've made a similar mistake on my game and there's not a lot you can do about it. Combined with the major random factor in a slick run (where does the swordbearer decide to go and hide) and it's very frustrating.
I do think you can improve your chances by making sure your fireteam is being hosted by the best internet connection, and you're all geographically close. 90% of Destiny glitches come from network sync issues.

Still definitely up for this. I'm just logging on now to get a few bounties done before hand.

So who's up for finishing off Crota tonight? Let's get it done! I've watched the Ogre room strategy a few times now and it definitely looks like the one to do. There's very little opportunity for anyone to get killed. The only real problem will be if the Swordbearer is hiding away somewhere on the 2nd and 3rd sword runs.
With this strategy, we either need to distract the Boomers while Crota is being hit with the sword, or stick a Titan bubble in front of them. Either should be fine.
Anyway, I'm really keen to get this done today!
Raid: Crota's End (just the big bugger himself!)
Difficulty: Hard

I'll be there for the kill
Hope we can end it tonight, I've used too much heavy ammo on this. 12 packs left on my Hunter, I had just under 40 when we started
Still looking for one person - afraid will have to move this to 8pm to fit everyone in if thats ok. Got a good mix so can try a few methods (think Hunter invis swordman with Titan bubble on Crotas platform while everyone sits on the middle ledge is the best one. Not sure what to do with the Ogres though due to their timing)So Sunday 8pm - Crota HM cp
1) ps3ud0 - polynomial007 - 32 Titan
2) Oweneades - OweO - 32 Warlock
3) Soulja - Soulja85 - 32 Titan
4) Greboth - Greeboth - 32 Warlock
5) Zoomez - Zoomez - 32 Hunter
