Been trying to kill crota hard for 25 hours now. So many heavy synth used. so many times down to one hit left, enraged, and some stupid glitch happens. (most common is sword disappears) The fight is easy. go through the motions, rinse, repeat. same as VoG. But the fight is not actually under your control. The sword randomly disapears. thralls, knights, and ogres can randomly spawn at any time, for no reason. The oversoul is randomly unkillable. Crota will randomly teleport to slice up/shoot at people below him. Sometimes crota's shield can not be damaged Randomly crota can skill the sword user with a "misadventure" (if he steps on you maybe?) The time you need to gather funds for hundreds of heavy ammo is just silly. other strange things. (comment below if you wish) If bungie is not going to lower the difficulty at all, (which is fine, cuz it's honestly an easy fight) They should at least comment on the horrible "lag" issues so many players have. For reference, I do normal crota and hard VoG every week legit with no problems. I have all three classes to 32 and have played the game for more than 500 hours. I recently even deleted my warlock and titan so i could level them up again and get 2 more shots at obtaining the normal crota rewards. I have a great internet service at 60mb down, and 15mb up. Please Bungie, the difficulty in hard Crota is not fun difficulty. it's flipping ten coins over and over until they all land heads up.
