Just my personal opinion and speculation... I'm sure more will beat it as time goes on and maybe after some cheeses are more than likely figured out. Do you think that is right by Bungie? Do you think it is intended? Personally I think HM Crota was tuned a little to difficult and will prob turn alot of people away. I can't wait to beat him though...
EDIT: This strat may have poked a hole into my claim... Not a cheese, just a great strat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOIp0uYa7i0
EDIT: Just to clarify for those that dont read the post or comprehend english. I'm not trolling or whining, I like the raid, I really do, just curious on what Bungie's expected percentage is for completion... Granted 95% might be a slight exaggeration... It will still be a very high number of failures.
EDIT: Kinda cool this turning into a decent discussion, the whining troll posts have slowed down.
EDIT: Last one... I'll stick to my opinion but give maybe a more realistic number of 75% that wont beat HM Crota before HoW.
EDIT: 1 Feb 2015. Shocked this thread is still floating around... Really curious what the percentage is for Hard Mode. Its kinda funny Bungie will tell us and almost brag about how many times Crota went down, but won't tell us what percentage of players actually did it.

You can beat Crota even when you lose your sword bearer.
-
Lmao at this ! It's "HARD MODE" for a -blam!-ing reason ! Get over it scrub and man up
-
I would agree with you 2 days ago but now i don't
-
That's how it should be...end game hard content should actually be hard and the average gamer shouldn't be able to easily overcome it

3 RepliesI beat it with 3 different raid teams today soooooo that's 16 different people

2 RepliesIf you're unable to beat Crota on HM, you're a soccer mom who should be in a kitchen instead of playing Destiny.
-
Hard mode isn't that bad. It just takes communication. Once people realize this a lot more people will beat it
-
I beat him 2 times so yea shut up meg
-
killed him, got the pistol, huzzar for not needing to bother killing him again! i detest auto rifles, so i have zero interest in the necro exotic. i can just casualy solo the maze and bridge each week for the remaining elemental primary drops till house of wolves lands. (why did they make the pistol only drop off crota, yet all the others drop at every checkpoint)
-
I beat it :)

Dude, over 3 million is more than 5% of the community, I would think.

10 RepliesEdited by Adam: 1/23/2015 9:20:29 AM[b]Is it actually any fun though?[/b] No new mechanics, just spongier enemies that out-level you and no health regen at Crota Think I'll get what I need from Hard mode then stop playing it tbh. VoG hard for example, was tough as a 29, but it was always enjoyable. This? Meh. Really Bungie? This is all you could come up with?!

1 ReplyWait till next DLC comes out and it'll be easy :)

We did it tonight up to crota, 4, 32's and 2, 31's. Its not impossible. Supposedly a grpup of all 31's made it to crota.

23 RepliesThe raid holds no rewards I want. I have the armor. I don't need primaries with elemental that are only useful in nightfalls (which are already easy). There isn't any incentive to do Crota on hard. The shader looks like crap anyway

1 ReplyI like the way they made it so you can't do it unless you have tracking rockets with cluster/wolf pack rounds & that's if RNG likes you in the first place...
-
Considering 13 million people have played Destiny, I think your closer to the truth with 95 than 75%. Then as you say when we can level up with House of wolves, a lot more people will topple Crota in HM.

4 RepliesDid you know that 67% of all statistics are completely made up?

3 RepliesThe raids hard no doubt done it 3 times and barley starting to get faster at it.. but I don't like how they made it "Hard" they force us to be a lvl lower with no way to work up to 33 so we have reduced damage and increased damage taken and they only "New" things they added were 2 wizards instead of knights on crota no chalice and a gatekeeper in the bottom area and no respawn.. We waited a month for hard raid and that's all we get.. Love to raid but that's just a let down
-
Not beat it yet but I will do ! VOG hard was a struggle for me but got it eventually :)
-
It will be like HM VOG. After awhile, everything will become easier.

15 RepliesI like that they made it hard by taking the Chalice out, added Gatekeepers and Wizards..... all that is good but I really don't care for us being under-leveled. It feels unbalanced that we are a level below every enemy and so many of them are Majors. Doesn't feel like a skill challenge and it isn't fun... it's not creative in any way. Personally I feel that we should be the same level as the enemies. I love raiding but I'm in it for the fun of strategizing and teamwork. I'm not in it for a fight that is nothing more than us getting our assess kicked by gangs of bullies while our bullets practically bounce off of them. That is not fun.... IMO, the VoG was a good raid... problem solving and team work and we were at the same level as the enemies. Crota is a huge disappointment to me for the sole reason of the level difference. I'm not expecting a cake walk and I like most everything else they did for Hard Mode... except for us being under-leveled. That just comes across as nothing more than complete lack of creativity. "Yeah, we couldn't think of anything else so we'll just make them weaker than the enemies." It may be their intent that only 5% can complete the raid... but they should really consider what would happen if they only had that 5% playing and buying their next game.

Guess I'm in the 5%

1 ReplyThese forums have quite a habit of making up imaginary statistics.

Beat em legit after 4 hours total raid time Worth the shader <3

Most will eventually beat him, might take another few levels but they will do it.
