    do we know if Crota regenerating his shield when you break DPS is a bug or a feature?

    It only seems to happen when you stop damaging him for a few seconds (one second?) and I could see them putting it in to keep people from keeping him damaged like they do with the swordbearer.

    Feature. He has crazy high regen.

    Woohoo, finally got the exotic bounty for the super good advice. I kept getting the other bounties over and over, but now I have four exotic bounties on my titan.

    Are we going to try one last attempt at HM tonight? I'm up to repeat the raid so Bart can get his loot if need be. Please advise.

    Otherwise @Nocren‌ I can help you out tonight if we don't raid on the One.
    I'll be around. Hopefully the kiddo will finally sleep. Shoot me a message.

    2 manning the whole crota's end on hard seems a bit over the top to me. hopefully bungie doesn't try to go overboard trying to make it harder

    They didn't seem to care that someone solo'd normal Crota

    So I resorted to the dark arts and went to Destiny LFG to try and get Crota down before reset.

    Within an hour we had him down.

    Fang of Ir Yut and Glowhoo for my Titan.

    Get in! Finally have a raid primary, and it's the one I wanted the most. Huzzah.

    Props, team. Hours of hard work and many attempts - with a hat tip to all of the guardians who participated, between yesterday's slog and tonight's (much faster) victory run.

    Got the scout rifle from Crota and am about to give it a test drive. The verdict on Glowhoo is that is looks incredible on Hunter capes and Warlock robes and underwhelming on Titan armor. But I don't care. I'm wearing it anyway. Oh, and it matches the Glasshouse, by the way! It's the only shader that does, basically. And now I wish I'd picked one up from Xur.

    In all seriousness, fuck hard mode Crota. In the last week I've spent around 10-11 hours total on JUST the boss fight in hard mode. Haven't killed him once. I've come very, very close several times, but haven't finished him off, sometimes due to bugs, sometimes due to one person making a very small error. And fuck the heavy ammo bug all to goddamn hell. Seriously bungie? It's been almost six months.

    This is the first fight in Destiny I've ever honestly wanted to cheese. If it was just us losing to play errors or a bad strategy, I'd be ok with it. But it's not. It's us losing to bugs, disappearing swords, swordbearers playing hide and seek, crota standing back up or pulling shield regen WHILE BEING HIT BY A GJALLORHORN AND ITS WOLFPACK, all four knights coming into the crystal room before the shield drops, the list goes on for awhile. I'm clearing hard mode crota once on each of my characters, if I don't get the ships or weapons, well too goddamn bad. This artificial buggy difficulty bullshit is just too goddamn deep for me.

    Congrats to everyone who's been able to take him down so far. Way to overcome the encounter and the bugs.

    EDIT: I am now stepping away from the keyboard. Gonna go lift.

    I'm not very impressed with the crota pulse rifle. It fires crazy fast and is actually pretty damn stable too but I just don't think the damage measures up to an auto rifle or hand canon.

    Doesn't help that one of the perks is only good for one enemy type.

    Hit 32 with my Titan main and downed Hard Mode Crota right before the reset. All I got for it was the shader and a spare raid helm, but it felt good to succeed after several very close failures. Found a lot of success with bubble focused strategy that isn't chilling in the center, which seems like it's too random.
    So that was a good Destiny week.

    If what I'm reading is true, this week's Nightfall and Weekly could be fun!

    Nightfall: Epic, Nightfall, Lightswitch, Solar Burn, Void Burn
    Weekly: Heroic, Solar Burn

    I hope it's true.

    Edit: Oh, it's Omnigul, but still.

    Edit²: Another site claims it's tripple burn week (replace lightswitch with arc burn above). That would be worse...

    As I was falling asleep, I thought to myself "Nightfall is probably a no-burn Archon Priest. That or triple Omnigul."

    I don't know that I'm happy about being right...

    The Weekly should be interesting/fun. After you've made it past the Fallen, does anything even use Solar?

    The Nightfall though...not sure how I feel about that. That's gonna be chaos from all sides. The three set piece battles will be hell.

    In the weekly, if you have 3 people with Gjallerharrrn and synthesis, you can down Omnighoul early when she appears in the green hallway before the final fight.
    Of course you probably will have to do the whole thing for the Nightfall, but we knocked out two runs of the Nightfall/Weekly each in under two hours. It helps to have a bubble with Weapons of Light and any of the new raid guns (especially the auto rifle with the knight-shield perk).

    More shards and repeats from the nightfall.

    I dunno, I think I prefer triple burn over angry. Yeah, the wizards and boomers are jerks, but you can lock 'em down with head shots.

    I thought even if you "killed" her then, you still had to do the rest of the mission. I've never tried to finish her off right after the door.
