Hard Mode Crotas End Raid run.
32's will most likely be preferred for this run i'm afraid as will experience, communication and availability across the nights. 31's will still need to come in as I dont think we have enough 32's with full availability to fill all nights so please sign up.
Since this launches on Wednesday there are NO tactics for hard mode so those who put up resistance to wipe nights when we were learning crota etc on the first few runs will find themselves on standby. This WILL be hard by all accounts that I've read so far.
Ideally, i'd love to keep the same group across all 3 nights if possible as opposed to jumping in and out. That may not be possible and I will be on a PS party chat and streaming as well if people want to help participate in other ways.
[b]Not everyone will get a spot for this and that is the unfortunate nature of organising hard mode runs - it is not a personal issue if you aren't selected. This requires a lot of strategy discussion and a lot of experimenting with the encounters so we will need to bring those who have exhibited the best raiding play and strategic awareness so far. [/b]
Okay, since I dont know about the encounters and what to expect I'm going to stick with the group below for the 3 nights. While its possible we can switch in ToonMonkey at some point I dont know where we'll be or what we're doing so I dont want to keep jumbling the nights (mainly for if we spend 2 hours working on the second boss on the first night, i don't want to switch in someone new the next night to learn it all from scratch again)
Hard Mode Group (32) : Egrimal, Elaniel, Restart_Reborn, MikeW1980UK, Sullen_Fury, Rubthisway

How did it go? Anyone get any decent loot?
-
Dont worry about switching. You want to keep the same crew all the way. Good luck lads and lets see if someone can come away with the crux.
-
Looks like a solid crew! I'd love to vicariously experience this. Egrimal, you still planning to stream this?
-
Count me in, 31 Warlock needing the helmet and shards. Really want that hive scout rifle.

Disappointed I didn't make it to 32 in time to experience the first run this time out. I may be a sucker for punishment but I really enjoyed the battle and constant failure trying to figure out these raids. It made victory all the more enjoyable. It's not quite the same when everyone else does the hard work for you. But alas no, I look forward to watching the streams and shouting abuse at the screen for you. If you need another body then I'm more than happy to jump on but I realise it's a long queue who are up for this! :) Good luck Eurogamer!!

Sounds mint. Am very close to 32. Cant say for sure will be 32 by weds but probably will be. Can do all 3 days.

Edited by Induku: 1/17/2015 1:08:41 AM32 hunter, can do all days

Edited by Petrarch: 1/16/2015 1:04:50 PMI can do the Wednesday and Thursday night for sure, can't promise on the Sunday unfortunately - only a 31 Titan - though I have the armour to reach 32 after last night's raid I ain't got the shards. Done the run on normal a few times now and I can bring a fully upgraded Suros and Mythoclast to the table and I'll have Black Hammer/Ice Breaker and Hunger of Crota in reserve, but it's unlikely they'll all be at 331 due to materials. Willing to struggle through the massacre to find the learning curve, we all have to start somewhere.

Edited by PulsatingClouds: 1/16/2015 1:10:08 PMI'm ready for hard crota. 32 warlock. Available on all 3 days
-
Oh, go on then.
-
Put me down for the CE Hard Experience. Sadly still lvl31 on both Titan and Warlock (the drops haven't been kind) but if a slot opens up this Sunday give me a shout as I have all the shards to get to 32 if either helm or gloves drop.
-
Edited by Elaniel: 1/16/2015 11:53:18 AMI'm in and available. Level 32 hunter. Fully maxed Gallajorn, Vision, Fatebringer, Icebreaker, Badger, Thunderlord, Truth, Vex Mythoclast, etc. Fine with failure too, I am a hunter after all :)
-
Edited by PazJohnMitch: 1/16/2015 2:00:42 PMI am fine with constant failure and disappointment. Only level 31 Warlock I am afraid but willing to fill in if you get desperate. By the end of today I should have a virgin 302 Icebreaker but no Jelly. I have the equipment for 32 but not the shards. (34 short to be precise). So I would like to prioritise obtaining said shards in the normal Crota run.

Id deffs be up for cursing my way through this... But as stated, ill leave it for lvl 32's to take priority but please feels free to add me to the mix on Thursday or Sunday if id be needed. Lvl 31 Titan defender. Psn: southafrimike

I can do all 3 nights, all my characters are 31. Could get my Titan to 32 by next week if I get enough shards (unlikely)
-
I can do all three evenings Level 32 Warlock PSN - Sullen_Fury
