What is going on??? Four hours wasted doing the raid fresh and after beating him half of us see a dead crota and the others see him get back up and kill our sword guy. so take a moment to imagine what our chosen words were at that moment... I truly hope bungie has a reply to what I'm going to list below a.) to show what problems we had and b.) information for those planning on running hard any time soon.
1.) start of crota check point, crystal just not in the room, and barriers are missing as well, during this time the knights and acolytes did not move but they magically reappeared once being killed.
2.) when all seemed normal, a glitch would happen where knights would teleport them selves in and out, in and out, in and out,(you get the picture) of the room some times teleporting next to you and swiping you dead causing yet another wipe.
3.) after killing said acolytes the could after falling in to bones, reappear with full health.
4.) (last in this room) helm of saint -14 only blinds knights 50% of the time so don't plan on that actually helping you.
Now on to Crota.
1.)Sword wielder was not allowed to pick up the sword many many times and on more than one occasion he was not allowed to pick it up at all.
2.) 5 guys 3 galey's and 2 Hunger but for some reason 10 of those rockets were not enough to even budge his shield even a millimeter leaving us going (WTF!)
By the way the aforementioned went on for two hours.
3.) our sword guy takes his swings at Crota but we see crota standing and he sees him kneeling, and you guessed it Crota killed him .
4.) the best one yet. We worked around all the glitches, preparing for them. This time we did it on my screen Crota is DEAD, our sword guy hears us cheering so he lets up only to be killed by a Crota that is very much alive on his screen.
My only reason for playing this game is to do the Raids. that is what allows me to level my character to what makes me feel like I have accomplished something besides wasting half a day and a $6 bag of Doritos. This was supposed to be the round that gave me that sense of accomplishment, but what did "I" get for beating Crota............................................................................AN OVERSOUL!!
*****EDIT**** I really hope my post was not removed or locked out of spite!! That is what it looks like to the guys in my office. I have not once blasted Bungie or said anything negative about the experience unlike some, haha this is only my 3rd post asking for feedback. I have had many questions about the RNG on Vault of glass not dropping gear and if you want to see frustration, pull up some game play videos of us and just how many bugs we have ad to deal with in that one.
After this, "Bungie", I would like a one on one response you have access to my email/ PM, please use it. Contact me and let me know why My above post was removed, when you give us a place to let us tell you what parts of the game are buggy. I gave you and other players a list of what went wrong in our experience. I also asked for feedback so someone (hoping it would be bungie admin) could give me some incite as to why this happened and if we were going to have better experiences in the near future. Since there is no reason to even play if the enjoyment of getting gear and guns, and ships, shaders, crux, etc is taken away by a glitch . Yes like everyone else playing this game, I am here to level up a make believe characterization of myself to the most unrealistic outlandish way possible. So am I a little bitter about not getting the loot we should have for completing this latest endgame. (rhetorical question if you didn't guess already)

We found a tricks around shady lag and glitches. Whenever you get glitch or you see ANYTHING that should'nt be go to orbit and relaunch the team. This will put you on another instance server. We tried Crota for 6 hours and at one point the boss was standing when his sheild was dropped.
