Yeah but the bonus is no angry and light switch. So those thralls won't chase you down to 1 shot you lol

Nightfall gave me dragon's breath and some crappy pulse rifle the 2 times I did it. Now to do crota...

edit: Crota gave me Black Hammer and a second body armor with slightly better roll. It has Strength and discipline instead of straight strength so I won't feel so bad using it until I get a raid helmet to go with my praxic fire body armor. I'll be 32 tomorrow and hope to get a helmet so I can use my preferred exotic armor. I still wish you could equip two exotic armors at once. Need to do crota on my second character sometime later in the week.

Yeah. Don't let one piece of gear stop you from getting 32. It can be replaced. I've been swapping out gear on all my toons. Today, I got some better gloves for my Titan. 3 Crota hd runs today and I ended up with a combined haul of 50 radiant resources.

You don't have to be 32 for hd. But good luck getting in a group. People now won't do it with two 31s in a group. At Crota, we told a 31 warlock just to stay dead because he gets one shotted by boomers.

First group this morning, the crux of Crota dropped and went to someone without a leveled Eidonon Aly. Made me sick.

Yeah it was just that I didn't want to do a full strength only build. At least now it is somewhat more balanced out.

yeah, I just replaced some gloves on my titan that were 120ish strength with 50/50 Int/Discipline. I have a feeling that the strength stat is going to come into play in the next DLC with the 2 new weapon types. The only thing I can think of is melee weapons.

Completely missed everything last week! Just got so busy I didn't find time to even attempt HM.

Hoping to get some time in this week and get some gear. I am only a few shards away from a second 32, so I will probably do regular first.

Is there a glitch with Black Hammer? I have it at 331 but it still has the green progress bar on the icon like I still need to upgrade it.

It's due to the perk (hive disruptor) that was removed from the weapon that was causing it to glitch out with the white nail perk. So even though you are maxed out in upgrades, the game still thinks there's one more upgrade, despite it being currently removed from the weapon.

I knew they removed it but didn't know it glitched the icon. I'm a little OCD like that lol

edit: I can NOT get a group to beat crota on hard. Someone always dies and ruins it or just does things that mess it all up. I tried it for 6 hours and not once did any group get close. Always someone screwing it up. Especially on sword bearer. Gotta stagger him, but sitting there shooting a primary doesn't do that it makes him dodge. So annoying, even when we ask people not to do certain things.



edit 2: xur selling dragon's breath again, starfire protocol again, don't touch me, and mk. 44 stand aside. saving motes too because i don't need exotic gauntlet engram. No heavy ammo synthesis

this week, people were already out of heavy weapon synth. Next week is going to be brutal.

Just remember: Mars Exclusion Mission on the first heroic level + supply codes = 10k-15k glimmer every 30 mins.

Not horrible. Makes it about 1 hours of farming to raid for a day.

I don't think it's that high for me but I just did a bunch of glimmer farming and probably in about 45min got 10k. I used 25 heavy ammo synths last night in those 6 hours of trying, even spent 60 black wax idols on heavy ammo when I ran out of glimmer. I can't believe all the groups though that have one guy who doesn't listen.

Once a guy was going out the left door when we were calling to go out the right side, every single time he would get killed by boomers. You would think he could learn. If not that then someone runs out before we are ready (we are looking for ammo and using synths). Then some groups just have to invite lv31 people. I know people want to invite their friends but when we fail 6 times and each time it was because the lv31 dies and we lose damage you gotta start looking at the greater good. The other thing as I said before was people using primary weapons to shoot the sword bearer. That just doesn't work. We need to get sniper or heavy shots on him to stagger him so he doesn't run to the side to regen and we can't kill him in time. When you shoot him with a primary and he doesn't get staggered he can and will jump to cover and hide. We said this numerous times and someone still decides to shoot him with a primary. You can't always rely on rockets for him all the time because the thralls get targeted by tracking accidentally or he only peeks out from behind a rock enough to sniper him which is annoying but man I wish people would at least take what we say seriously even just to try it. When there's that one guy, and the other 5 are asking him to change what he is doing and he doesn't do it I just don't know what to really say. So frustrated

I luckily run with a fireteam leader who kicks people. Not listening, you get warned and if you do it again, back to orbit for you. Out of synths and refuse to do something useful? Back to orbit.

Here is a the deal. He is probably a kid, maybe 15. However, he knows what he is doing. I hate when people give him a hard time. I've also joined pickup groups with him and people give him a hard time when he offers to walk people through it.

In my opinion that's the way to do it. You just have to be firm so people understand that you are wasting our time. I am willing to give people a chance but there is a limit to how much I can tolerate. I don't leave groups often either. If I think we can do it I stay. Sometimes we have a guy learning the sword which is fine. More people that can do it the better, but people who's only job is to jump to the center with the rest of the team and snipe the sword bearer and they can't do that properly, I have little patience for even though I don't say anything. Obviously we all mess up or make a mistake, it happens. I have missed the jump and needed to go around to jump over again but when we have a plan of attack I always follow it and do my job as best I can. If I was doing my own thing and didn't respond when people were asking me to do something I would expect to face consequences for that.

It's okay to use primaries on swordbearer as long as one or 2 ppl are using special or heavy. My groups have never had issues with swordbearer, its usually the timing on crota but that just takes practice.

On hard he seems to dance and dodge more when you use primary weapons. I dunno, but we did ask the guy to try sniping even if it wouldn't help we all agreed that maybe it would help prevent him from running to the far side and hiding so we couldn't hit him and it was worth a try. After all, we were there for 3 hours already lol

Crota Hard is the easiest part of the raid if everyone follows the direction.
1. Relic holder shoots rockets on sword bearer. 1-2 IceB/BH, 3-4 Fusion rifle sword bearer.
2-3 IceBreaker/Blackhammer on boomers
4,5,6 Fusion rifle sword bearer.

Relic holder gets into position, 4,5,6 shoots 3 GjallarHorn (or 2x 3 other Rocket launchers)
Rinse and repeat 3 times.

Even easier that I saw on a video is go to the right tower at the bottom and jump on the doors. Kill thrall then plug sword bearer to get him to come to you. When crota moves to the right side you kill sword bearer and grab sword. Titan goes up and drops bubble at top of stairs and we go inside the bubble. Jump up and burn crota with rockets. 3 hits, run to bubble. blast him again and 3 more hits + super then go to other tower at the bottom and jump on doors. Burn ogre that pops out of the door then snipe 2nd ogre when he comes over. Repeat sword bearer and crota strategy from the left side when he moves. Just can't die.

I'm starting to get frustrated with the game's community now. I got another group and this guy setup the group and just needed 1 more. Without saying a word, he drops out after 2 tries. What makes it worse is he is the one who died fighting the acolytes and knights in the beginning, nobody else. Then his 3 friends drop out too leaving 3 of us standing there asking WTF. If it was because of the two 31s in the party he left there that's his fault. He was the party leader and he set up the group.

So what do we think about Oversoul Edict(arc pulse rifle from crota's end) and Word of Crota(void hand cannon from crota's end)? Are either of them worth much outside nightfall. I understand the scout rifle from crota is better than both but I don't have that.

edit: nevermind I got the fang so I will dismantle oversoul edict lol

Your post is very confusing. When you say "relic holder", do you mean the person who holds the sword?

Does "1-2" and "3-4" mean one to two people use snipers, and three to four people use fusions? Or does it mean person 1 and person 2 use snipers, person 3 and person 4 use fusions?

HA, I just re-read my post and it is indeed very confusing.

1-2 means 1 or 2 players.
My 2nd line should read 2,3 (not 2-3) Icebreaker/Blackhammer on boomers (meaning player 2 and 3)

We ignore boomers or distract them on hard because if you kill them you get a yellow wizard and he kills your sword guy
