Those who failed.... Is there a reason to continue destiny?
There was only one thing left to do... I had reached level 32, had a deadly arsenal of weaponry including maxed out Icebreaker and Gallajhorn. Destiny offered one final obstacle, Hard Crota. With nobody available to challenge crota, I turned to Destiny Tracker's raid finding chat function. Soon a random level 32 team was formed.
With high hopes and a set of deadly weapons at our disposal, we set out to destroy Crota using my hardmode checkpoint. We had dreams winning legendary scout rifles and shaders. One member already had the glowing shader marking triumph over hard Crota equiped. We believed we could succeed. We thought we had a strategy.
We failed.
We scored damage on crota during the first sword run, but that is as far as we got. The sword user could not make it back alive. On the one attempt we actually succeeded in hitting Crota hard and escaping, he glitched and followed us into the building, decimating the team. On another attempt the sword disapeared entirely the moment the sword bearer dropped it. But overall, we really had no idea what we were doing.
Soon the team lost hope and members started vanishing. One by one they left, until the team was no more. Crota had won. It became apparent very quickly that I had neither the skill or the social connections to ever conquer hard Crota, and I began to wonder if there was any point to continuing.
First off, congratulations to everyone who succeeded in killing hard Crota. You people are the true "Destiny Legends." But what about the rest of us who cannot? VOG is now pointless, Vangaurd Roc also no longer offers anything of value to my level 32, and there is nothing worthwhile to use crucible marks on. The only left is to shoot things with my low end raid pulse rifle until it levels up, but If I cannot defeat Crota, is there really a point to doing so? What is truly left for those of us who cannot beat crota? Are we to wait until the next dlc renders all gear and weaponry obsolete so the cycle can restart? I don't know, I have lost hope now and see no reason to continue. I guess my legend ends at Crota.
-Sad rant of a hopeless gaurdian.

One now to rage at Oryx
-
I know I would be like that or worse. Old guy with diminishing skills.
-
Just keep trying, it is damn hard the first time but after the first few completions its easy. If it was too easy everyone would just be sitting around waiting for months for the next dlc.
-
Sounds to me like it's time for you to go. Take care bud.

4 RepliesYou have 3 options.. 1) Find a set team and practice until you beat Hard CE... 2) Screw around until the next DLC and then pick things up again... 3) Quit the game... Ultimately it is your choice.. If you truly enjoy the game I suggest options 1 or 2... If you do not, then definitely take option 3... For me, coming from your statement... That would be like me quitting the game right now because I have yet to find a group that can get through VoG normal and havent even tried CE... The truth is, I hate pugging and wiping all night... Is that enough to make me quit? No... Maybe someday I will run into a competent group and get to see the final boss die in both of those..

14 RepliesIf you're on ps4 you can join us we've beaten hard 6 times so far I know it isn't much but we have a solid strategy now and it works well we're not squeakers, and we have a good time.

1. Don't give up so easily. 2. VOG isn't pointless.

Raids?!?!?!?! Wtf I have been playing this whole time waiting for drops from bounty missions what is this hard crota you speak of!??!?!?!
-
Be patient, it took me 6 groups and about 20 hours to beat him. Now he's pretty easy tbh. Hang in there and try and find an active clan/group, it really helps with the raids

Edited by Animal Mother: 1/27/2015 9:32:52 PMI play with my Dad and other friends so it's fun to interact with loved ones and friends everyday and play a fun video game while I'm at it. BTW, I only have one character that I play with, I don't have a Ghorn, I don't play for loot so much as I play for enjoyment and you must admit that Destiny is the only game out there that lets you play and interact with people in such a unique and fun way. Btw if you're on ps4 then add me elm6578 and I'll help you beat the raid.

26 RepliesI quit destiny and sold the game, im still on the forums because i want to help others quit as well [quote]Tl;Dr found at the bottom. Look how many people deny their addiction and defend the game, knowing damn well the game is designed to play off of the reward system we all have in our brains, even with the simple probability of being rewarded is enough to keep people attached. If anything destiny is an incredible social experiment. Not a good game, not even close. Once you step away for a bit, examine the fundamentals behind the game you'll see its deliberately and psychologically manipulative, designed to keep you playing just to see what's in the next engram. It's Las Vegas in a video game. Except instead of money it's your time. Throw in hundreds of hours, with maybe 20 minutes of those that are actually efficient in getting leveled up. The rest is spent navigating around the time limits that serve no real purpose, the random drops where once in awhile you get something decent only to find out every other player has the same damn item. Bungie has made it clear that this will [b][i]never[/i][/b] be the game they described to us. There will [b][i]never[/i][/b] be an intricate galaxy wide story. There will [b][i]never[/i][/b] be additional areas, as seen from the house of Wolves leaked content. You [b][i]cannot[/i][/b] go where ever your eyes can reach, as purposed by Bungie spokespeople repeatedly. There [b][i]will[/i][/b] be and endless grind resulting in [b][i]nothing of actual relevance, since every other gaurdian in the galaxy has the same damn outfit,cloak, mark etc[/i][/b] Their first dlc was twenty to thirty minutes long, that was the [b][i]same god damn locations just in the opposite direction[/i][/b] the second dlc is more of the same. Tl;Dr,....game blows, destiny can't make an rpg, if you defend the game remember addicts always defend and hate the substance their addicted too. The hamster wheel was the main inspiration behind this game.[/quote]

4 RepliesEdited by Taggin T: 1/27/2015 6:34:53 PMIf you are a 32 its called, "Find another team" or "Try Again" I have beaten it 4 times so far. 3 on my titan and once on my warlock. And i haven't even done it this week for rewards yet. All it sounded like was that you needed a better/less greedy swordbearer. Sword bearers are the ones that essentially make or break a team. If they suck you will never finish. If they are good, then your team should do their best to provide him with rockets to down crota and backup against boomers. If he keeps dying because of boomers it is YOUR fault. If he keeps dying from Crota swinging/chasing him it is his fault for not leaving sooner. Typically go for 3 sword hits every time you "down" Crota. That is all you need to finish.

Crucible?
-
I hear what you're saying. I need to get with some experienced players. I would love to complete it at least once. Even if that never happens, I will continue to play because I do have fun. Besides, I believe Bungie will make some positive changes as the franchise moves forward. Hang in there..We're kind of in the same boat with Crota. Anyway, I wouldn't let that stop you from continuing to play Destiny.
-
Keep trying both times I beat him it was with randoms. You just have to get lucky with a good fireteam.
-
Have your swordbearer run to below the boomer room instead of crystal room sit on one of the ledges and he can look for the swordbearer when he comes out. Personally I run with suros and while crota is playing with his d on the right im shooting thrawl to regain health
-
I did it with my friends

1 ReplyI wouldn't worry, my whole clan has completed hard mode except me but I'm not too bothered, house of wolves will be with us soon and we will have to get the armour again and level Up the exotics again...it's the same old. I'm Not fussed about completing hard mode I know I'll do it but I don't need anything from it unless I need the weapons for nightfalls. Also VOG is still worth doing just incase u wanna try and get lucky getting exotics, sure u night have them all but it's exotics shards that u can vault for the future. And why not help a noob now and again who's never raided before...this will ultimately help you get removed from Santas Naughty List.

Teams gotta have a plan and stick to it. If your on boomer duty stay on boomer duty. If your downing sword bearer, then don't worry about boomers. Taking down Crota with one rocket and then primaries worked best for us. Ignore the enrage over soul
-
You'll get it. Hard VOG felt the same way in the beginning. Now it's just routine.
-
plus be patient that is what the game is trying to teach us , patience and strategy, if you got the patience leadership skills and tact for doing so then you will definitely succeed
-
If you truly cannot beat Crota on hard, I'd be willing to carry you through it with my fireteam. Just message me
-
4 RepliesClan up my man!! Are you on the ps4? If so my clan "pie eyed soldiers" will definitely give you a hard VOG trial run!! If you don't fail miserably then your set for raiding EVERY Week!! Just message me and ill hook you up!!
-
EYES up guardian, keep up, and you will succeed, however if you cloud your judgement you lose sight of the solution. communication, strategy and triumph of winning that one piece of raid rewards everyone wants, Guardian your legend has just begun.
