So, this is a sword cycle from my perspective.
Crota goes down for about 4.5 seconds 11-14.5s the first time and about 3.5s 24-27.5s the second time :-
Helm 1
Helm 2
All intellect with infusion, really nice!

whats so amazing bout Corrective Measure? Maybe I got a bad roll on mine. the perks dont seem too special but I never did use it much. I think I got it after Crota expansion released
Eh you probably just got a bad roll. I kid they're all the same. Its a pretty stable LMG with a got balance between RoF and Impact. Field Scout allows it to hold 100rds in 1 "mag" + 200extra RDS.

You can't get a bad roll on Corrective Measure, it's perks are locked in just like any raid weapons. Every CM is the same.

[edit] huh forgot weapons dont randomize. Maybe folks love the 'surplus' option for pve
It's a fantastic MG! I use it in PvP even in Iron Banner because it's that good. It's stability is great along with field scout. 100 bullets in the mag is awesome. With good enough impact. Excellent for MG headshots bounty in IB.
You really are the outlier based on everything I've read.

The sniper? Give me that arc pulse rifle with tracking rounds. Maybe give it exploding rounds while they are at it as an additional special perk.

That would be a perfect exotic, a pulse rifle that shoots wolfpack rounds

Exactly! Something worthy if being called an exotic.

Bridge Dev Notes:
Encounter was designed so everyone must learn to use sword.
Designed with everyone having their opportunity to shine in mind.
^This note from the Bungie CE stream is pretty great since it's exactly what I keep hating on Scrota for.... CE is such a shame because abyss--bridge--shrieker hallway is excellent, better than VoG up to Templar fight. But then VoG shoots for the stars while CE face plants in the dirt. Really feels like they ran way, way short on production time for CE.
lol I've already been on the hunt a bit There's a subreddit specifically for investigating chest discovery theories.
http://www.reddit.com/r/raidsecrets
Most promising ideas seem to be based around some connection with the Aegis and the Gorgons due to the Greeky Mythology connections, or finding the one "mortal" Gorgon that would parallel Medusa i.e. if you kill a Gorgon and it doesn't respawn, therefore isn't "immortal."
edit: just noticed that he followed up with: "my brain turned the question into something along the lines of, "Is there a reason to return to the Vault of Glass?"
Boguester's Comprehensive Guide to HM Scrota Sword Running:
1.) Use Hunter invis. Stand next to Scrota until you see him start the kneel.
2.) Chop.
But seriously I can post more detailed stuff later if people care, it's just so simple as a Hunter there's not much to it besides the invis. Also, make sure not to hit the touch pad when dropping the sword for blink strike. If you are fire team leader "Return to Orbit" will briefly pop up and we will all laugh and laugh before you die. Happened twice this week actually.
Who is this person and what have you done with iRAWR???

I caught part of the Bungie stream. I agree with the design philosophy behind placing a Gatekeeper to keep people from camping one spot, but the execution was off. The enemy down there should have been sword killable with a cycle spawn rate. Instead of promoting movement the current high spawn rate just locks off that part of the map. Enemy selection and disruption of safe spots could have gone a long way to making the final encounter more interesting for the 5 non-sword team members.
!!!
Sometimes it happens when I host (solo not included.) Last Hard kill I was off-host with a few red bars and Crota was still supremely cooperative. It's nice to get this kind of total confirmation that it's (sometimes) not just my timing. Really frustrating when it feels like you are doing the same thing you always do, but it's getting you killed.
I may have a video where he gets his shield early and kills me with his palm blaster before he gets up.
I want a Titan Infusion helm
My most embarrassing Blink Strike moment: I missed Crota. Yup. I tried to Blink Strike and I missed, Crota.

Kneeling palm balster is the worst >_<
Iin my case it's quickly followed by a two handed slash. If the witch balls don't kill me the slash definitely does.
200 unfortunately.

This is the only fallen weapon that I want.
My best guess is (1) the Arena raid involves a lot of close quarters combat and the shot gun will be for that purpose. And they hope the shot gun will be better after the shot gun buff.

haha yeah I just saw that and edited my post right now
Darryl M R

Meh yea 200 isn't a lot but I think it is enough if you manage to grind so that every one of your characters had a full stack of every planet material.
This is just troll status what they're doing.
Edit: Just like this cherry on top
I don't think so. There were six people in a live Twitch stream Raid all talking over each other and everyone had a mic on. It's natural to sometimes mis-hear people. It happens to me all the time when I raid.

I'd be interested in Crota.
Look how the community is reacting, they are like rabid dogs. They must be sitting back, laughing at those that believe it. It's going to become like BigFoot, is it really real…
I didn't even know there was a subredit for raid secrets lol

How do you think they could have improved on the Crota encounter to make it better. I know we talk alot about how it sucked because it boils down to 1 MVP and a handful of tag-alongs. I think Crota should have had more mobility instead of just sitting there waiting to eat Rockets.
It probably would have been good if Crota had space to move, and there was some sort of mechanic where the rest of the group had to ensnare Crota temporarily and then someone goes in with the sword. This would give the non-sword holders a little more importance in having a job to do. Obviously the number and type of enemies can be tweaked for balance, including Crota's moveset.

Or using sync plates to trap him on certain spots.
Put a debuff on the Sword Carrier so that after he has picked up the sword once he cannot do so again for 5 minutes. That's how I imagine they would have done it in World of Warcraft.

When they were going through the Abyss the Raid Designer talked about how they tuned it to encourage staying together and reviving down party members. The Lamps were designed such that it is in your parties best interest to stick together and if one person gets too far ahead they hurt your party.
He then made a passing comment about the next Raid having some sort of system/mechanic to "punish" those who try to be hero's or go alone.

Not having a Sync plate mechanic for Crota is actually pretty odd considering how the Sync plate builds through the whole Raid in importance only to just disappear for the final fight.
I can only hope. Because the best way to clear the Abyss is have someone with the best weapon for that part the Mida Multi Tool to just make a run for it.
