So last night I had my plans to knock out some bounties, upgrade my rexurbished gjallahorn to get wolfpack rounds and play crucible to get to 150 marks so I could buy the sniper.
Get on and a friend invites me to do Crota's End from the beginning.
Even though I have the save on Crota I agree since that character only got the save, not worked its way through (my other warlock did the hard work).
I join the party while switching characters and hear them talking about witches before Crota.
They kept dying so I suggested we just use my save point since you get no drops from killing those pesky witches.
I'm excited to now try killing Crota legit...but then someone suggests we do the glitch instead.
I'm outvoted because "it's faster and will soon reset." This is 10:45pm est.
None of us have done the glitch but we know how to do it. I get selected to dashboard Crota into permanently kneeling.
First two times fail. I get the hang of it after that (and instantly feel dirty). My friend drops offline and leaves me with the strangers.
Suffice it to say that at 12:55am est we were still unable to kill the kneeling Crota thanks to his oversoul and despite my complaining for the last hour that we could have already beaten the entire raid legit, they want to go on.
I finally put my foot down and said I'm gone to play crucible and get my marks. Told them it's karma for trying to cheese.
3 of the guys agree that they need to shoot some people to relieve stress after the Crota cheese fail.
We win 4 out of 5 clash and I go to bed with my 153 marks.
[b]IGN beat the raid in 30:05 mins. Serves me right for feeling obligated to a group of strangers, succumbing to peer pressure and then becoming the actual person to execute the glitch.
Never again![/b]

I've not played the raid yet. But been watching tons of videos and the solo Crota ones. If a guy can solo Crota with No Land Beyond and solar grenades it sure can't be that hard with a group. Honestly the whole part with the witches seems like the most painful. Crota is just shoot knights, shoot sword beater. Fire rocket Crota, sword Crota, rinse repeat. The Crota dashboard exploit may also have been hot fixed.

Yep, been there. Not sure why people feel they must beat Crota each time. Why do we fail? To learn. Do it legit, learn why it's not working. Spend an hour failing, stop, take a break. We don't have to "beat it" we have to learn how to beat it. Watch all the You tube videos you want, but its not going to make you a better player, unless you fail, fail again, and overcome why you fail. My biggest pet-peeve of Multiplayer games, people want the easy way every time and have to finish it every time… I just enjoy playing, win or lose. Of course team work and equipment will make the challenge less difficult

Edited by naturl selexion: 12/30/2014 6:54:23 PMI do believe the Xbox Live terms of service expressly prohibits network manipulation. If there is any cheese that is ban-worthy, it's this one. I haven't done it and I won't do it, but I have been in a party where someone else did it. Last time we fought Crota our party members were complaining that we wouldn't cheese Crota - a couple of them left making it harder to get a full fire team.

Agreed I have spent more time in fire teams trying to get the monster to kneel and freeze with it not working then just fighting it out straight up. The toughest part is getting all 6 together communicating and doing the roles needed to beat him. Very frustrated so far in the attempts I have been apart of to drop Crota.
