Definitely. This will be critical.

yes.

That's pretty good then. If I can get the scout and handcannon from the other areas then I have no need to fight that motherless son of Oryx.

What Bungie did is the equivalent to fighting game bosses. Instead of making them smarter to fight against, let's increase things and limit the creativity people can defeat him. For example. Instead of making him stand around like a moron they could make his A.I smarrter. Like if a swordbearer goes up to him he will actively try to intercept them and beat them down with that giant boat paddle of his so basically you need another person to distract him from the swordbearer. But no, Bungie would rather add more annoying ads and increase damage taken from them.

Both the scout and hand cannon seems to be a Crota only drop. Pulse rifle in the pit, AR after the bridge.

So, The Dark Below is an expansion that focuses on the Hive.

House of Wolves looks to be an expansion that focuses on the Fallen.

Do we think that trend is going to continue past that point? Will we get a Cabal and Vex expansion at some point as well?

After the "Comet" patch in September, we're due for 2 more expansion packs. Safe bets are on a Cabal and Vex focus.

Someone on reddit suggested something interesting. If crota enrages at 10%, sword runner should stop hitting Crota before he gets to 10% and try to kill him next run so the enrage doesn't kick in.

What happened in Nami's stream a few minutes ago? I was eating in the other room and heard them yelling, but when I returned the team was dead. Were they close to defeating Crota or what?

edit: Just saw the posts above.

Glasshouse might be a good Titan helmet too with the increased blessing of light duration.

true. if you have the luxury of 3+ titans one with that setup would be nice for some breathing room.

True. At least Atheon was really creative. CE was somewhat of a disappointment coming from that. I hope they really though things out with House of wolves

And wow. It took hours to kill Crota.

Good stuff Nami's team. First on GAF. I tuned in and no less than a minute they beat it.

Congrats Nami and team. Would like to see the video once it's saved and uploaded. Also curious about what the team's rewards looked like? Did everyone get something good from Crota?
