"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

The Raid is full of 3 million fucking Thralls.

This DLC is basically a Thrall-fest >_>

Can we just nuke them? Screw the moon!
The moon in Destiny isn't even real, gravity doesn't apply to it.
You aren't real

Haven't tried the strike but I'm at Crota the Final boss.

You literally can't beat him because of the level jump. You need a level 31.
Is he just a really big Knight? Or does he actually have different attacks?

Spoiler
He's a badass looking knight but the fight is hard as fuck. At least, the strategy we used to get him to half health, our most successful, was tough. It requires perfect execution multiple times.

Crota himself doesn't do much. He has a "talk to the hand" attack where he lifts his hand and fires giant arc blasts. He also sprints down a path at you, like full force sprints and wacks you in the face. But there are multiple places you can stand and not worry about him.

If anyone dies he summons an "oversoul" that kills everyone if you don't destroy this giant green sun.

You have to battle ogres and beefy sword knights because picking up their swords and attacking crota is the only way to damage him. But only one person has the sword, the rest shoot him to drop his shields.

I'm a little confused here

Spoiler
I thought at the end of the story missions you pretty much destroy Crota when he's sleeping in that green crystal thing with the wizards and stuff, so how the hell is he at the end of the raid, especially when the raid can be done prior to even killing the guy

But anyway, while it isn't worth the steep price, TDB shows Bungie have learnt something from vanilla Destiny

Spoiler
The way I think of it...the crystal was him trying to invade Earth with his soul, and you stopped that. The raid is actually killing him. The raid being do-able prior was just for people going for the worlds first

I think the DLC needed like 2 more missions though

How does the raid itself compare to the VoG anyway? I know the first section is a dark room full of Thralls and all, but what happens after that?
after the Lamp/Thrall room
you get to a cavern where you need 3 players to activate a bridge from the 'low' side to get to the 'high' side.
strat
only the person with the sword can move across the bridge, and after sword timer runs out and another Swordbearer spawns on the 'low' side. rise repeat, until you have 4 up 2 down. the 'high' side has an identical set up for the bridge. so the 4 on the 'high' side form the bridge and wait for the other 2 to make it across.
after that its a room with a ton of knights. that's as far as my group got. we were level 30 and the enemies were 32 so it was crazy.

Spoiler
you jump down, pitch black thrall run, defend a platform to form a bridge (you stand on a glowing platform while thralls ogres and knights swarm you from the darkness, badass), teleport to Crotas palace, cross a giant bridge one at a time with swords and totem polls of doom, push up thrall swarmed steps, enter final area, kill a witch summoning a death song while avoiding 50 mega knights, summon crota.

The raid itself was fun and challenging, although my group breezed to crota in record time. Once you get to the final area you run into the same VoG issues (it's hard to beat unless you are at least one level above the starting level in the final area)

ayy lmao
If I hate this DLC it will mean that the only thread that Destiny will be hanging by is the next one. If that sucks too, the game is gonna be sold quick, along with the limited edition booklet.

Oh guys in case it wasn't mentioned yet there is a 4th mission and you get gauntlets for your class with 33 light if you complete it on hard . They are pretty cool I guess.

Complete all quests that Eris/Xur give you and eventually after beating them and getting the urn back you take it to a ritual, after beating it you take it back to Xur to get these eye things and give it to Eris to get the gauntlets.

Define "addition" to Destiny when they're selling you content that's already on the disc.

well it's still a ripoff of course but I think it was ok, you don't see me clinging to bungies nutsack and defending it its a "ok" game I'm not saying its the messiah of video games.
