In my opinion obviously. I just had more fun play VOG than crota. Crota seems more rushed a more quickly with all these time limits with the sword and the never ending thrall. It just seems like they threw in a ton of baddies and time limits cuz they couldn't think of anything else. I love the VOG though! That's fun! Jumping puzzle, Gorgon lair, killing atheon. All fun!

I loved the exploration that the vault had. Crotas end is more like set pieces to me.
-
Honestly the way they set It up makes sense for the enemy type. The basis is stopping crota and rushing to stop the forces at be ( the dead singer ) from summoning Crota. So why would the raid be slow sections when your trying to rush and stop a dark being from entering our realm and take control of earth? It's like watching a war scene in lord of the rings and everyone walking around being like "I guess we should stop that eye that wants to kill us all when he gets his ring?" The premise of VOG was more exploration. Trying to figure out what the vex were doing and and trying to stop it. We didn't even know who Atheon was.

Crota is 4 phases while VoG is 9 phases
-
Same VOG required more strategy and skill. I really wish Bungie would let the raid weapons be buffed to 331 Attack by rerunning VOG to find the new version of these weapons.
-
Can someone tell me if the gatekeeper will drop VoC?? Or is it just ath??
-
Agreed. Time limits are awful. Makes me stressed.
-
VOG should have been released with The Dark Below and Crota should have released when VOG came out.
-
Haven't tried Crota yet but I got the Same feeling from the NF last week. Just hordes of nonsense.
-
Yeah it was

Edited by atv21: 12/21/2014 12:57:54 AMWhile I have yet to beat Crota (at Crota check point) and have only ran VoG a few times, I do enjoy VoG more. Just wish they'd expand the weapon cap on some of the VoG stuff
-
I agree 100%... Bad surprise.. Bad work, andò it is the first DLC...
-
I agree 100%
-
VoG was amazing and CE isn't. I feel like I get more out of VoG from a gaming aspect. I feel like Bungie stole the castle design in CE from Lord of the Rings.
-
True. Crota is like a strike lol
-
VoG: strategy, strong will and lucke. CE: RUN, RUN, RUN, JUMP, SHOOT LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW. KEEP RUNNING AND JUMP ALOT WHILE SHOOTING.
-
they're just different as the enemies are different Vex - highly intelligent, thus the complexity of the whole raid, time travel etc Hive - stupid as can be, their power lies in overwhelming opponenets with great numbers and sheer brute force
-
One thing that I notice personally is that VoG seems a more complex raid. CE, although has some puzzle element to it, is more straight forward. The enormous environment of VoG is not even comparable. Although I like the quick run through of CE, and I anticipate a very frustrating hard mode, I would like the next raid to be as imaginative and enormous as VoG.
-
Yep. More variety in VOG.
-
Like a few people have said I think it's to do with their nature. They aren't smart, they're like zombies. Their power lies in numbers I think the fallen raid will be interesting, I can't see a Cabal raid being more then killing several generals
-
Crota is more of a bullet sponge or hoard mode raid. The only interesting bits are the bridge and how to get the chest afterwords. It has not cool bits like the VoG maze or jumping area, or teleports during the boss like atheon. It's literally just, kill this, grab sword, hurt boss shield and then hit with sword. And don't get hit or it's an insta death. That will get repetitive and boring very, very fast.
-
Nah. You can do the abyss thrall part without any of the thralls except a couple attacking anyone. You literally just walk through all the thralls. No rush at all. A stroll in the park.
-
Agreed. VoG is a blast
-
Its still fun
-
Yup I completely agree. The new raid feels more like a chore to get gear, no so much a fun activity.

Edited by AdunSaveMe: 12/20/2014 8:53:13 AMI've only seen a video but Crota looks boring. He's literally just a giant reskinned Knight. It's Sardok all over again. Whoever keeps designing these frigging boring resized & reskinned bosses needs to be smacked. Same as VoG too. One thing you need to do, repeat until victory. No progressing phases outside of enrage timers. Relies on adds to make up the vast majority of the fight while the boss bumbles around waiting for you to get the relic/force him to his knee. The Oversoul looks amazing though. Shame there's not much lore behind the raid like with VoG.
-
There all good but. I like the getting to the end boss equally. But I prefere Crota guess it's just the big blaming evil dude with a sword.
