I will definitely check this out after work today, seems like an interesting combo. With the 3rd scope being the furthest range, how is it dealing with targets that are up close.
Part of the reason I use the 2nd scope is due to it's lowest zoom, and murdering close targets
I love the reticule on the 3rd scope so I use it for everything very comfortably - up close and far.
As much as I banged my head against the wall on day 1. I don't want Bungie nerfing the difficulty. I like that there is a super hard encounter for people to counter. Crota on hard mode is actually hard for people going in without plans and thankfully there are no glitches to cheese it yet. They need to fix all of the glitches and the battle will be a perfect challenge.

Sent you a FR.
Weird, I had no issues. Sometimes I find it helps to run the "test internet connection" thing in the PSN network settings. I might be crazy though.
Yeah you can come grab the CP. PSN: MiniMe637, it's open.

Looks like there are 5 of us that need normal crota. Let's get it out of the way! For those that can't we can do another run later.
I can run it a few times if needed. Just let me know on here and I will get online. PSN:rsin

Do you have checkpoint?
Not sure if I'm included there, but I'm in.
Bored out of my mind on another snow day.
This is where I'm at. Fix the glitches and it will be perfect. Hard as hell but satisfying when he goes down.

Do you guys need one more? I'm down, I need to knock out normal Crota on my Sunlock
Three advantages are:
1. Easy to understand
2. Easier to get Swordbearer down in the time window you want.
3. The team spends most of the time in 'safer' spots on the map.
But all this is negated by Crota getting pissed off and wrecking everyone on the stairs.
Come Join us man!

Has everyone given up on HM crota outside of established groups?

I still need two HM Crota kills.
I can't do it quite yet, I just got hung up on a phone call. When were you thinking you wanted it?

Damn, I need all 3. I'm going to try to organize a group tonight to start at 5:00 pm est. Either a full run or just crota.
I can go down to the Gorgon CP while waiting to see if this normal CE starts up. spyder_ur.
We've done it a couple times with some new guys we've never played, some 31's, and some guys that have never even attempted HM at all before, but yeah, there is an immediate noticeable difference.
The biggest issue I see with guys you don't know (or who haven't done it a lot) is them not having heavy ammo and/or not wanting to buy/use synths. Trusting everyone to do their part is key which is difficult playing with people you don't know.
That being said, people have 2-manned Crota, so it shouldn't make a huge difference... but it seems to for us. The fight has gotten MUCH easier now that we have strategies... it's usually only glitches that end runs for us at this point.

I really hate HM Crota; I have all the HM weapons except the fang and if I don't get it on this next Crota kill I won't get it until the next DLC when the level cap goes up. The Crux I couldn't care less about. Seriously, fuck you Crota you glitchy bastard.
Yea all of us and timmy and I think another. But Tommy has the CP. Any of yall have it? If not we can wait until later
OK....I am ready whenever. And it seems like we have at least 6 interested.
Down at the Gorgon checkpoint if people still need it. spyder_ur.

no, but outside a few established sword runners its becomming increasingly difficult to clear it. we need to join hawkians sword school so the rest of us can help pick up the slack. ive only ever cleared it with driz or hawk as the sword runner.
LFG is still buzzing strongly.
Indeed, people not pulling their weight is a big problem for newly formed groups. Sometimes 31s can get carried through but it's not fun. It's important for people to do their part. People want the loot, but with hard Crota we actually have to work for it.
Strangely enough, I get a Fang on every kill lol.
I think I hit my max last night with this game for now. I need a break. I'll stick around for the salvage trophy and then see you all at HoW. The frustration of the raid is too much when it's an easy concept and you just can't get a team to execute it because the enemies are just overpowering and overwhelming. We beat it twice the first week no problem but with some of our team missing it got sloppy, uncoordinated, and resulted in cheese which is no fun.

same here, as soon as I got the fang im pretty much done. however id imagine that by next week it will be easy and more groups will be able to clear no problem.
It's all about the sword guy though, if you don't have one that is on point and is a hunter you're not going to have a great time.
BTW, Thanks Lima, awesome running with you again last night, we have two great sword guys we can run with now.

I don't have the CP. Just let me know when you guys are about to start. Going to run across the street for some eggs and bacon to make breakfast.

I can run the sword, I just dislike the pressure @_@.

Looking for checkpoint on LFG. It might mean I have to take a couple people from there through. Will see if I can get just checkpoint
Does anyone really mind running it through? Will take 30 minutes, if that.
I think all roles are important for the encounter at the end of the day. That said, in my group we are covered for swords lol.
The execution does need to be close to perfect - felt like an insurmountable brick wall in the beginning. If you're on PS4 there a ton of people here that play or if you're on the bone, I'm always willing to help.

Seems like our few options for #6 can't get in due to connection errors. If anyone wants to run Atheon three times add MiniMe637.
Yeah, I've beaten it a couple times already, once with my clan and 2 Gaffers and then once with GAF. Neither run took more than 3 hours total. It just became not fun last night all the sudden, we spent 2 hours at the bridge, it was like a light switch turning off.
Bridge is easy. Just get at least two people over. One titan. When two or three are over, people left on the other side just wipes and then the guys on the other side will kill the ogres, protected by the bubble.

Warlocks on first side can self-res and snipe too.
grimlock33

Warlocks or ppl that can climb the building can still do the whole respawn and snipe deal too.
Yeah our first two raids we did it on the first try. It's not hard, and shouldn't be hard, but we couldn't get a team to execute last night.
The social aspect of Destiny is what has kept me playing, I love playing with random GAF. I don't want to become selective with who I play with, but it's what this raid requires, and unfortunately all the other content has become stale.
This is what I don't want. I want to play the game, not sit around while people cheese or snipe from a distance. We tried to do it legit and it just got frustrating. We run no cheese and pay for it.

well, you are the greyblade!
the window strat is easy and actually easier than the established normal left strategy. as long as no one goes meandering off to the left or right to draw the swordbearers attention away from the middle.
and crota doesnt behave like an asshole
