I received the legendary sparrow from defeating crota on hard. I was super pumped because I thought it would have skulls and bones on it and a green flame because all of the other crota's end gear is like that. But nope, it is the exact same thing as the time breaker from VOG with a worse paint job. I mean seriously though Bungie, don't over extend yourselves on this reward! I am extremely disappointed in this, you didn't even try! all you did was change the two colors from red and gold to black and army green that is not only lazy on your part but honestly unacceptable.
Edit: Beat it twice now. Still disappointed!
-
Time to move on to bigger and better games..
-
Come on. You saw the ship. Copy n paste of VoG ship with some green bones on it. Bungie pushes boundries. I wonder if the artist and 3d modeler are proud of there work?
-
"you didn't even try" - how bungie made destiny. a movie. "you didn't even fix main glitches" - a sequel.
-
-
Didn't even know there was a sparrow. Wow. They just didn't even try.
-
Couldn't agree more. Very disappointed when I saw my new sparrow.

I agree, OP. The normal Crota Raid is missing that element of "fun", and the Hard mode is missing it as well. My Clan and I went through the first two phases of the Hard mode last night, and it's the same old same old, just with enemies that are even more "bullet sponge" than before. The lack of creativity increase in hit points is not a substitute for lack of appreciable content. Even on hard, Bungie's newest "Raid" is still a crappy Strike that they're trying to dress as a Raid. The whole thing is just missing that element of "fun" that seems to be completely intangible to Bungie's developers they have assigned to the Raid Department. The loot system is still as crap as ever. there's no evidence that it's a "smarter" loot system that they described to us before 'The Dark blows' even launched. I actually believe that the Vault of Glass loot system is actually more accurate in giving out the full variety of rewards than this loot system is, and that's a sad claim to have to make. Sure, Bungie changed around some cheeses (they apparently have not removed or fixed them), but the sheer amount of glitches has increased exponentially. It won't be long (I'd say give it another update, maybe two) before the glitches will be bad enough that the Raid will be nigh unplayable. This Raid was crap before, and the Hard mode is even worse. This was a very lazy attempt on Bungie's part, and the level of laziness exceeds even the lazy effort at making the Raid in the first place. And that's a damn pathetic claim to have to make as well. TL;DR: Highly disappointed in the lack of effort on the Raid and it's Hard mode by Bungie.
-
Hard mode is disappointing but it has nothing to do with loot. It has to do with nothing exciting really being added. The gatekeeper and wizards are the adds? lame. The rest is bullet sponging. That's pretty low on the effort scale as far as I'm concerned.

Edited by DarkManatee: 1/23/2015 4:15:11 PMIt really does feel like a lazy ass Development team are working for bungie now :( I mean.. You "fixed" the bridge encounter 3 times now and it's still cheesable!!! Let's think about that... Instead of fixing it once.. You guys have now wasted 2-3 more weeks of hot fixes on practicaly the same damn patch. I suppose using nearly a month of time to make destiny a better game wasn't going to happen anyway, so why not just act as if you're hard at work by fixing the same issues again and again. What a waste of time. This isn't the first time this has happened either.. I remember it with VoG Atheon. Fix ,unfixed ,fix ,unfixed. ..
-
Notice how they blew predith time piece out of the floor with putting in another arc pulse, why not void or fire and keep it spicy?
-
You do realize that none of this is real...and the ship is basically a loading screen, Right? Maybe if you spent less time waiting to be "impressed" you would have actually had fun. Which was the actual POINT of all this.

Edited by RockstarGFU: 1/23/2015 2:40:26 AMWait for hard raid HoWs!!! Anyone else puttin money on dusty white and tan hide color scooter?
-
Edited by Flint1985: 1/23/2015 11:05:50 AMBungie are seriously lazy developers, so much imagination could go into the sparrows alone yet they choose to just change colours like with most guns....and don't get me started on the cut & paste ships
-
Edited by K1NG of GEARS: 1/23/2015 10:36:45 AMBeat him an hour ago after countless teams and r sword holder died I had to run all the way to crota shooting rockets in the air and pick up the sword and kill him all I got was sparrow and shade wtf I clutched that shit tho
-
It's just the Timebreaker with a green shader. Shows the lack of creativity of Bungie nowadays... I got that and the shader and a helm. Good rewards...
-
Edited by Unforgiven: 1/23/2015 2:38:14 AMThey should change the Sparrow design. It has the same design throughout the entire game. Thats just silly. And its -blam!-ed up that the trail isn't even green or orange. Its just the regular one. That's messed up.
-
Edited by Makuckn: 1/22/2015 4:23:20 PMYou are so right.. I dont know what the designers do all day. Looking at the ships for example, there are just a handful of components like cockpit, wings and engines.. Ever played galactic civilizations? Old ass game but the ship designer had dozens of components, free to rotate and scale. Bungies ship editor must be like a 1 year old kid's building bricks..... the sparrows all look the same - with minor changes to the skin/color........... has bungie ever played a real mmo? Mounts/vehicles are some kind of personal attitude in other games. Ride an oldschool horse? Nope, I want this fire breathing monster lizard!!!! In destiny you can choose between .. .. red, green and blue.............. The whole hard raid sucks.. how curious I was about the gatekeeper above the crystal in normal mode! What will he do? There has to be some special about him! Nooooooooot... just ignore him.... As far as I remember bungie announced that hard crota would require completely new tactics as it would have different mechanics, unlike atheon normal/hard which is pretty much the same after all. On crotas bridge there seemed to be these circles like those below the totems in bridge phase and the activation plate in the middle. I wondered if we had to hold and defend them or something like that. Noooooot... Crota hard is another example for bungie letting the players down. I finally lost all hope for the game. Honestly, there is not single thing bungie actually [i]improved[/i]. It goes downwards all the time, further and further...
-
I agree. I got the sparrow as well. I was happy to see that it was a different color from the old sparrow even if it is O.D. Green. I immediately took it on patrol to see if the trail had been recolored... Nay says bungie. I have only done the hard raid once so far this week, and all I managed to come away with was material, a chest piece, helmet, shader, and the sparrow. I have two more characters to run so hopefully I will see some weapons.

Edited by Xyyth: 1/22/2015 2:45:18 PMThey waited months to release this crap? It must have been really hard work modifying a few spreadsheets. They don't give a damn about the consumer anymore. They have made their money. Pitiful.
-
Yeah let's take the raid we had before, throw on the heroic modifier, and make all of the enemies one level higher than any player can reach. Creativity at it's finest!
-
No innovation whatsoever and pure lazy,.. Bungie: What can we do for hard mode? Raid Devs: Uhhhhhhhhhhh, let's just look at how they beat Crota and add more enemies. Also, remove the chalice.. Lunch anyone?
-
Them taking away the chalice was a lazy way to make it more difficult. I love this game but they just don't seem to be trying anymore.
-
Edited by TazzOne1: 1/22/2015 5:33:46 PMWell all sparrows look the same with diff paint jobs its just one big recycle you shouldn't expect much
-
Was the epic sparrow chase included?
-
Can you helpe out bro on crota
-
Reflects Bungie's indifference to this game, except when it comes to finding ways to get our money.
