What does that mean? During feature week they're at their original light level? Who the gently caress is going to want to run 170LL Crota for no new gear?

No it means the 390 version can't be played at all until Bungie unlocks/"features" it.

They just don't want people stacking WORLD FIRST!!!! all on the first Tuesday night. Instead they want it Tuesday night for the next few weeks because it gets them more marketing.

Ohhhh, you're saying we get Crota in week 1, then VoG becomes available in week 2, etc.

I thought you meant there's a week where old-light-level raids were "featured" and then the 390LL went live the next week.

I wonder why Crota is available first though, and not Vault of Glass.

Because people care about VoG more and it will keep them logging in for an extra week or two.

Yeah i dont doubt its because people were going on about vog more the crota as to why its first.

Crota is still pretty fun though.

At least ttk brought heaps of extra poo poo to do post game with weapon quests, pvp quests and a pretty deece side story with the queen having a little feinting spell.

If D2 follows the same model it should be pretty good.

Yeah, it's a staggered rollout. Week 1 is 390 Crota as the featured raid and no others. Week 2 is 390 vault as the featured raid and you can still play 390 Crota, just without challenge modes and their bonus rewards. Then KF, then WOTM.

They talked about this in one of the streams this month. (Both the weekly unlocking and why CE first.) I'm paraphrasing here because I can't be bothered to find the quote, but they decided to feature CE first because they felt the changes that were made (fixes/tweaks/whatever) resulted in a better first impression for the reprisal. It sounded like the most amount of work was done on CE.

D2 is headed by the TTK team iirc so yeah, I'm thinking so too.

Wonder what they hosed with then because it wasnt exactly a raid known for being overly hard or having a huge amount of exploits that anyone needed to bother with.

I think even half drunk we did that raid with minimal wipes when i was like level 28.

Eh its always been fun as hell anyway.

I didn't get the impression they went crazy with changes, just that the end result represented the biggest difference amongst all four. (Even if it's not radically different.) If you think about it, it makes sense: WOTM and KF are more modern raids and need little, if any, touching. VoG didn't have as many rough edges as CE.

If anything CE is too easy, it can be soloed without too much trouble and half the areas have bypass exploits.

I tried soloing CE a few months ago and I couldn't get past the death singer. Not sure if they mentioned this in previous updates or not, but the liturgy of ruin activates waaaaay faster than it used to. I kept running out of time before I could put any real damage on her.

I soloed Crota's End a few months back as a Titan for Flawless Raider and I thought Death Singer was simple enough to take care of. When you enter Crota's chamber, you jump up the wall to the left, dip into the left chamber to kill the death gem and bait out the witch, run to the back left upper chamber to avoid the death blast and take out the witch from afar (or maybe it was bait out the witch first then kill the gem) and then you circle around the back of the room to the upper right chamber to avoid aggroing the Death Singer, then you repeat the process with the right chamber. When the Liturgy begins, you run in the chamber, jump on the sarcophagus facing the center chamber and, if the Death Singer didn't get aggroed, you can just dump some sniper rounds into her head from atop the sarcophagus to kill her. It took me a few tries to get it down right because sometimes I'd move incorrectly and the Death Singer would move away from her default position and I'd be hosed. It was kind of tricky though to get down.
