Destiny |OT16| Enrage is here, there, everywhere...

Anybody else keep getting cattle errors...?
Don't kick yourself too hard my good man, never any guarantees in this fight
This happened to me for like three hours yesterday. Insta kill when he hits enrage.
No need to apologize, man. I'm just venting some frustrations with Bungie's design decisions. I think we all stayed as long as we could've before real life priorities like sleep kick in.
I'm still kicking myself for not cloaking during enrage mode...since we never know how any one run will turn out because bugs or glitches, it hurts even more
I'm down for a normal run or two to help our guys get the gear they need. We could've ran normal 20 times last night in the time we were doing hard mode.
Yeah the difficulty on Crota caused by the extremely tight timing and the zero room for error feels cheap and makes the encounter not fun after a while of wiping.
It really feels like Bungie designed the fight and then realized it was way too easy normally and then just started adding every different difficulty bar they could think of after the fact in order to make hard mode as hard as they could. They were nervous because the community made a mockery of VoG hard mode. The timing is too tight and lag is too much of a problem on hard mode even though our whole crew has very good internet. And we have a crew full of very solid players. But often one little mistake or lag glitch causes a wipe.
When your on level the Crota fight is a joke.
I wouldn't mind running through a quick normal on my Hunter this week if everyone is up for it. Would probably take 30-45 min. Everyone could bring their non-32s If they have them. Hunter still needs chest armor.
I'm not bringing my 31 Titan into the hard mode lamps again until gets to 32 probably.
I need this as well, sadly, am still at work and can't come right now.
Me, but I probably only have time to get up to Deathsinger.
We can stop at Deathsinger since the bridge will be a bigger pain in the ass more than anything.
ouch lol
Yup. Im always banging Normal first hoping I get HoC. Only thing I need/want now.
Let's Superman the bridge.
But I'll be playing as my Hunter. How can I superman that bridge?
Totem launch. Blade dance across or use sword.
I'm bringing my Titan.

I totally know how you feel. If there's a silver lining to it, it's no matter how many wipes, we still have fun and joke around. If it wasn't for those moments, I'd have rage quit along time ago lol
Thanks for the gif, Drizz. It's nice to know our group isn't the only one experiencing these soul crushing momentsDon't kick yourself too hard my good man, never any guarantees in this fight
Hmmm. Ran Crota on Normal (only from the Crota checkpoint) and got Light of the Abyss. Not even close to being as good as Plan C sadly.
And the Nightfall dropped Hide and Seek 42 (Legendary Shotgun), I really don't like shotguns and I seem to get so many of the damn things.
Got Husk of the Pit last night too, will level up Eris and see how that goes.
------------------
I've got so many weapons to level, no idea where to find the time. I guess I ought to focus on one at a time, but I like trying the all.
Guns wot I got that I want to max out but will take ages as I don't have the time:
Plan C (best fusion in the game? Its awesome. Esepcially during this weeks Nightfall, dat arc damage)
Hard Light (Love this one, my favourite Auto Rifle so far, even more than my beloved Atheon's Epilogue)
Mida Multi Tool (Much as I'm enjoying Vision of Confluence, this one just feels nicer to me. Better noise, almost silenced.
Bad Juju. Fuck this gun, I hate it. But it does have some cool sounding perks (string of curses) which would compliment Obsidian Mind, so I'm struggling along with it.
Thunderlord. Never even tried it, been using Song of Ir Yut instead. I hear its good though.
Really hoping Xur is selling an Icebreaker upgrade on Friday. Wish I'd just bought the 331 damage version instead the other week, curse my miserly ways trying to save coins.

I know that but I tie the whole superman thing to Titans due to their Superman ground smash.
There's also going to be invisible enemies... pretty much the only reason for the "highlight enemies" perk I can think of...

Totem launch? You probably weren't high enough. Jumping with sword? You need to go down the middle like you are walking across the bridge.
if you're still looking...
I almost have the completely opposite opinions on almost every gun than you:
Light of the Abyss - excellent fusion, esp considering it's not an exotic. Hip fire = win.
Plan C - good
Hard Light - terrible exotic
Multi - good scout, especially for the agility boost in the abyss
Bad juju - great pulse, esp for warlocks with obsidian mind. Can play entire strikes without reloading too.
Thunderlord - 10000000000x better than the song. They're not even in the same category.
Ha, I need to try the totem launch.
I've seen every class cross the bridge by just flying across with the sword, dead simple. Either leap from the right hand tower, across to the bridge and land on the other side, or go directly off the bridge and turn left to the rocks halfway across then jump up.
Solo'd across last night and was waiting in my usual spot for the Ogres and they never spawned. Not sure why not. They usually do.
Join me!
If you're still going to run it I need to do those parts on my Hunter to.
Psn Steroyd.
Alright just switching weaponsJoin me!

It's "technically" cheaper to buy a new one than upgrade. Upgrade costs 1 exotic weapon (can be broken down into 1 shard) + 1 shard + 7000 glimmer. 1 shard = 7 coins. So that's 14 coins abd 7000 glimmer to upgrade vs. 13 coins to buy new.

Bad Juju saves you lots of time for orb spawns and super kill bounties. I never did them until I got this weapon. So it basically pays itself back.
Plan C is fucking great. I never cared for it, but when I got another 2 in a row I was so pissed I maxed it. Right in time for Iron Banner. Needless to say this baby breezed me through the ranks, with Vanquisher as primary. They complimented eachother well, when Vanquisher ran out I would swap.
MIDA is another lovely weapon. I use it in combination with the Dance Machines, that were
sadly
Ha, I'm only persevering with Bad Juju for the perks combined with my Obsidian Mind. I don't generally like pulse rifles but I can see the potential with this one. Once its levelled it should be good.
Hard Light, no way! I love it. Seems to do decent damage and I love the look and sound of it. Would be better with some sort of elemental damage perhaps. What don't you like about it?
Thunderlord, yes I hear its pretty good - but I've always got an exotic primary/secondary so it never gets a look in at the moment.
Well flip. I never even bothered to do the maths. I wanted the coins for Obsidian Mind and couldn't afford both, so figured it would ultimately be cheaper (7 coins) for the upgrade. FAIAAAAAAIL.
Oh well. Xur will have the upgrade on Friday, right. Right? RIGHT.
Well that was a fun reset day.

It's felt a lot slower since crota HM was released.

Non-primaries cost 17 coins. Armor is only 13 coins so it's cheaper to re-buy than upgrade.

I agree. I think people done got burned out and turned off.

Lol...it really comes down to what you have the means to buy at the time. With over 100 coins, and 15 or so shards, you start looking at the bigger picture. From what I've seen, he's pretty liberal with his upgrade inventory. I'm sure he'll have it.
Heroic Crota's End nearly got us to complete an OT in a week. We missed having a one-Xûr thread by a couple hours of I recall.
But I'd much rather be slower and chill than fast with that week's particular level of drama and intense frustration

Anyone HM CE groups have room for a lonely guardian? Need to get my Lock and Hunter they're first HM kills. My Hunter also needs to collect HM bridge loot.

Lol...nevermind then. I did the math for armor, and never went back to look at weapons.

Thunderlord has a problem. Its very strong in PvP and Arc content too. But most players prefer Suros + Corrective Measure. Or Ice Breaker/Horn in PvE.
Its probably the best weapon hardly anyone uses.

I like a chill environment - just don't want this game to lose steam from a community focus. Put too much into it already lol.
I wonder if Destiny would be better as a Gather / Craft game... ala Warframe (without the Free-to-Play characteristics).
