Got the band back together last night for some HM DS/Crota. EDIT: Thanks for the CP, ReignofSparrows!
Well, captscience didn't play because he's a jerkface.
Thanks to Magik for filling in, and apologies to Deku and btkadams; I appreciate you guys hopping in, but we only had one slot and Magik got there first. btk sounded so sad. =(
Haybro ran sword for all 3 (thanks, Hay!).
First 2 runs were fine. I think we wiped once.
Third run was super weird:
- Hay kept... sticking to Crota. He'd try to swipe to get away and it was like the sword swipe now tracks toward Crota for some reason. From the ledge's perspective, it looked like Crota was dragging him around by the sword.
- There were at least 3 occasions where Crota smashed his sword at Hay due to the aforementioned sticking and MISSED. None of us had seen this before. 2 of them happened on the same shield.
- No matter where Hay stood on the rock just off Crota's platform, Crota could shoot him. I'm not sure if they stealth buffed Crota's AI and now he actually MOVES to get a line on the swordbearer to shoot or what, but this caused a lot of wipes because...
- The oversoul was basically bulletproof. I think out of probably 10 wipes we killed one oversoul. We were getting damage markers and numbers, it just wouldn't die. We were all overleveled and running quality weapons (Fatebringer, Black Hammer, etc.).
Everyone's connection was green, and we passed host from Dave_6 to Hay, and it didn't matter. Weird stuff. The only difference was that Dave_6 wasn't around for the first 2 Crota kills, but it doesn't make much sense that him simply being in the game would cause these laggy-type issues when someone else was the host.
Anyway, there were a few miscellaneous exotics, but both GRIP and Verde got Cruxes on that last kill. I'm not sure anyone else got anything they were excited about, but it was fun to get the guys back together.
