This may sound weird, but it's Blizzards fault.
Their raids have actual mechanic changes based on difficulty. As a result, when people hear or see different raid difficulty levels....especially when different loot is obtainable...they expect something similar.
The "problem" (it's not really, but maybe it is, I dunno), is that these raids don't have huge changes and it feels like a waste to have two different difficulty levels. Especially as the main method to make it harder feels like borderline cheating since we can't become level 33 or34, yet.
I'm also willing to say that I bet, looking back, we all consider the Legit Bridge the best fight of the raid.

Nice, I'd run through a couple before raid on Friday night if we have time. If you end up doing them before then, no big deal.
One and done.
No, I meant that her "drop" just functions like a chest which would imply they literally just have a checkpoint drop just tied to a chest instead.

Yeah sure. I don't think we're gonna finish it but at least get as far and as much rewards as poss
Katana_Strikes
I'm OK with this cause I barely got any from VoG and still have yet to obtain ship from CE.

After a hunter swordbearer slashes at Crota, the player can drop the sword, blink strike, and then turn invisible (a perk in bladedancer sub-class). It's been stated that this no longer works. Why? I have no idea.
No chalice at all. Need to generate orbs etc to heal.
Worlds first probably used a lot of cheese. Lolz.
If you don't mind a Lvl 31 I'll join in. I won't be offended if you only want 32s. PSN = IkkarusYeah sure. I don't think we're gonna finish it but at least get as far and as much rewards as poss

So gatekeeper serves no purpose other than be a pain in the dick to guys using the middle strat?
Also, I notice that once again...no drops at Deathsinger.......unless I missed it on stream

The linked infograph had something with Vex as third expansion if I remember correctly
I believe it. Few of us did normal mode Crota with three or four 30's last Friday for giggles to help alts.
Having one or two just to help distract at Crota and let the 32's do the real damage sounds right. The fight doesn't require all 6 people doing damage, it lets a few people be the ones who carry.
Adding majors wouldn't change that, especially with Gjallahorns / bubbles / suppression grenades or flashbangs etc.
I think that was all about finding cheese. Look at what happened with Atheon: the Vex Mythoclast was supposed to be a coveted reward for the best players. It ended up being prostituted with people spamming the cheese. It made really difficult encounters - Heroic Templar ain't a piece of cake - trivial. With the best rewards in the game locked behind, it makes sense to wait a month and see all the bugs and cheese strategies that need fixing. This way the rewards will be reaped by teams that really deserve it.
If Heroic were to have vastly different encounters, why would they be developing them during these past few weeks? It's something they'd have done while they were building the Raid in the first place I assume. I don't think the player base was rational in assuming Bungie would use the 5 weeks since TDB launch to add a new Crota phase or whatever. That would've been done a long time ago had it been in their plans.
A Sword strategy where after hitting Crota a Bladedancer drops his sword and melees Crota to turn invisible. He can then pick up the Sword and stay next to Crota without risk of being killed. That way he can start attacking the very moment he kneels, getting more hits in. Apparently it's no longer working.

Yup I think you ignore the gatekeepers and stay away from middle. And yes it looks like Ir Yut gives only one drop on normal and hard. Not both.
Is the AR a pea shooter like Atheons Epilogue or does it actually have some good impact this time?

Yeah that's nuts but it really didn't look that hard
Looks like I'm grabbing crota checkpoints with my alts then. Any truth to helmets possibly dropping at any checkpoint now?
It has the same perk as Suros in which it fires slower but causes extra damage. The baseline impact is also better.

Of course they save the best two for crota

GAF teams still trying to kill Crota.
similar Suros perk,i think. zoom in for more dmg.
They did it in 19m 33s according to DestinyDB. Cheese confirmed IMO.
Crota is the hard part and they did that quickly so I give them respect but no way that time is a no cheese time IMO.

Better impact, similar to the Up For Anything vanguard AR, but it has a perk where it fires slower for more damage. Might be a good one.
Common are you raiding with us ? Our group is starting in about 30 minutes.
