Oh I chucked 50 or so in the vault just in case....I do use them on NF :) I'm just surprised so many people are actually farming glimmer to wipe, rinse, repeat on that awful crota HM fight still!

I am hoping my bro can do it before he returns from London.

If not, I'll just stick to farming and bank those SC like Scrooge McDuck!

Hahaha I feel mugged off :p . I already bought ~30 over the past week expecting them not to appear for another month. Assuming they go to the overflow I will buy 500 or so, at least I can feel free to use them again.

EDIT: Seems they don't go into the overflow, I could only buy 400

So I have picked up a copy of this and plan to start it tomorrow. I have just noticed the dlc on offer on gold. Is it worth it now or will it be cheaper? Or will it take ages before I'm ready?
 
You can be doing the DLC content within a few hours. Honestly, I would play it through to level 27 ish and do a run through the Vault of Glass before deciding if you want to pay for the DLC.

Buy the dlc, if only for the much easier way of getting to a higher level and without having to redo your work levelling exotics etc you might find throughout the campaign!
 
You don't need the DLC to get 331 attack exotics surely?

Getting to level 26 or so is only a few days casual playing. I wouldn't spend the money on DLC unless you're sure it's the game for you. If you do like it and buy the DLC, you won't need any excuses to level up some more gear!

I dunno, i just assumed the dlc vendors and non dlc vendors sold different items. If that's not the case i don't know why the **** i bought the DLC. The new missions are crap and the new raid is a pile of ****.

In that case i agree, don't bother with the DLC. You're missing out on a boring raid, some lame story missions that seem added purely to add bounties and the new raid weapons, which have turned out to be boring/fugly to look at and not much good to use either.

Each to their own I guess. I've had loads of fun with the Crota raid. Completed it way more times than I ever did VoG. Weapons wise, Hunger of Crota and Black Hammer are two of the best in their class in the entire game. Word of Crota and Abyss Defiant are very good also.

As for whether to buy the DLC or not, the best advice has already been given: play the main game; if you like it and want more, buy the DLC.
 
The new missions and other content are actually pretty good imo. It's the raid that sucks ass. Every time I do VoG I wonder how the same people can have made both.

black hammer is up there as being one of the best snipers in the game (unlimited ammo if your a good shot which has zero regen time, i'm looking at you icebreaker with your 5 day regen time)

my top 3 snipers are black hammer, p&t and icebreaker (the only one which isn't an exotic is the new raid sniper)


the raid rocket launcher, hand cannon and pulse rifle are all worth a mention too but only the pulse has dropped for me so far, abyss defiant is crap apart from omnigul strike, i don't understand why people like it so much.

raid weapons tend to be better than anything else in the game bar exotics and iron banner or any other specially acquired weapons (murmur).


crota's end raid isn't as much fun as VOG but it's still fun none the less, i like the lamps section a lot as well as deathsinger section. hard mode crota is too hard though, they should nerf it a little, too much pressure on swordbearer and newbies without health regen perks means your going to spend days before you get that perfect run.

I wouldn't mind all that if there wasn't so many bugs - stuff coming through the glass windows, sword dissapearing, crota not going down/getting up too quick, etc its forgivable in normal mode as theres not that much pressure to get it all perfect but in hard mode, the bugs just make it a PITA.

Its ruined the game for me tbh - i just cba with it and won't be doing anymore hard mode CE runs tbh - pointless for a cruddy crux (which gives a cruddier weapon) and the Word of Crota - whateva lol

The only reason it's hard is because of the level difference, once that goes away it will just be like running normal without the chalice of light and since you can use the ledge strategy you hardly ever take damage during the fight anyway.

The 33% damage dealt and taken put on us with being a level below just makes the whole fight artificially harder. It's just not fun in the slightest.

I enjoy the normal mode version, it's a decent raid. Different to VoG, sure, but then it's supposed to be a quick one way trip, assination type of deal. The whole raid and why it's structured like it is makes a lot more sense if you read the grimoire and lore behind it all - should really all be in there game though!

I imagine the next raid will be longer, more inline to how long vault of glass takes. Just my guess though.
