No probs.
So nobody else wants to do Crota now? So far we've got afro and me. Adam said he'd join if we managed to get some more of the caf before 11 but looks unlikely.

I'm in if it happens but not looking good... doing some more levelling for now.
I can look for some people on LFG and invite them to chat. So what's the criteria? 32 and 2 Titans preferably? Anything else?
Sure, IDM... or maybe there's a group that need 2?
its just crota
Damo, full run or just Crota?
Fcuking ell this guy 
Ok, so apparently we absolutely need a hunter sword bearer.... also your fireteam needs to be public
Erm boot someone from the fireteam...
I didnt invite dominicanassassin so I booted him
oh feck, this aint gonna be good
lol, its kicked off once and we haven't started yet...
Ah man if only I had stayed 15 longer
good luck guysWere gonna need it...
Impatient dicks.
Can't be arsed with that group... the strategy is solid tho, that's what we should do from now on...
Everyone left. So is that it for the night or shall we try and find a group to go through it fresh and maybe get another weapon/some shards or whatever?
Yea, that's a plan... preferably no bellends...
'Everybody hates warlocks, they are pointless' ... really?
and then they start rinsing the n00b, he should of told them to fcuk off and then quit diva style...
Cool, I'll swap weapons to my titan and we can try and find one
Yeah that saxonanglo guy... he said some good things regarding strategy but christ he was flaming everyone and didn't give people a chance. We weren't even doing that bad, just some issue with amount of damage being dealt by sword for some reason (probably wrong setting on Titan bubble or something)
I'll make party and invite people to it... fresh run
You can tell he's probably been jumping from group to group trying to beat Crota for hours...
You using your Titan? I'm going to check lfg.com
You using your Titan? I'm going to check lfg.com
Yeah I am. Cool, if you find a group we can join let me know. That'd probably be better than setting a freah one up, there'll always be people looking for more
And yep. Okay, I've been in groups where we've gone nowhere and should have stopped earlier... but what we were doing? That was pretty good with just some fine tuning needed
Cheers afro. A couple of 31s but should still be able to do first few sections
Got disconnected and now my Internet has gone, virgin have gone to shit... next time mate, I'm done for the night...
Shame that Thanks for everything though. The maker of this group is pretty good.
Advice he's given on Abyss:
Bridge:
Did the one go over, warlock res method. It's easy and I've got video of it too (I was Titan who carried sword over)
I got the Auto rifle from it
Now we're doing Crota, but I expect we won't finish it - and he says he doesn't expect it to be done either as it's fecking tough. Said we'll give it half an hour then leave.
Thanks for everything though. The maker of this group is pretty good.Advice he's given on Abyss:
- Non warlocks should super when possible to generate orbs for others, so if a warlock does die, they're more likely to be able to resurrect
- Warlocks to throw solar grenades on the path behind to kill thralls/slow them down
- Run straight past ones with knights
- Skip first two lights

We stopped after one attempt, but I honestly don't blame him for stopping. We weren't going to do it but it was very enjoyable overall. He didn't really say anything new for Crota, other than to kill acolytes first as they can shoot back at you (basically stating the obvious but its something that can escape you).
I'll try the bridge and Ir Yut again in about 8 hours or so if Dargon still hasn't done them I think they can be whizzed through now I've seen things first hand.
I'll be up for that. Or just starting fresh as I'm guessing that will be easier to find a random group to join. So far I've only managed to do the pits on one character (twice on the same character), so will be up for plenty of the weekend.
Yeah, either way sounds good.
Here's footage of the first HM Crota completion:

Amazing. They made the Crota kill look so easy too. I've tried it a few times with no luck whatsoever. What I liked most was when they were using the summoning crystal (around 20 mins in), the blade dancer used his super and swiped across the floor which bypasses the windows and kills some acolytes. That means you're likely to lose less damage when the windows break and the remaining acolytes/knights start firing.
Never even thought about that. Will have to keep it in mind next time I do crota.
And here's the footage of me doing the bridge:

1.35 was a close call
around that moment you see the rest dying then the warlocks ressing
no danger of anything hitting you where I am. at 2.20ish a thrall came to the side then ran off
at 4.14 you can see where the two warlocks are, as well as the gatekeeper on my side deciding to jump off to his death
the two warlocks sniped the ogres then the awards dropped
Felt dead bad for the raid leader though (Arabundead). He kept getting shards and energy. Said he hadn't got a single weapon drop on the two characters he had done.
So simply, yet we couldn't do that last night. Our warlocks then kept wanting to cross instead of stay on the other side. You could easily do that with four people. Or even three if you timed it right, so the bridge didn't deform before the person could get across.
I need to get my 31 Titan through those first two sections.
Ditto...
I'm coming on now. Did any of you want to give crota HM a crack?
I want to run my titan thru the first 2 sections and then maybe try and complete it (kill Crota) on my other 2... will do that this evening tho
should be do able. Group I'm with currently managed to get through the first two parts with 3 31s. Finished with them now, as they were never going to kill crota. Annoyingly they skipped the deathsinger and went to crota for some reason
Had a great group. Did basically everything first time and then we get to crota and everyone just left. None of them could be bothered to give it a shot
