The game does have a glitch/feature where if you join a fireteam on an in-progress game, but it's the opposite team that has an open slot, you will join the wrong team.

Maybe that's sort of what happened here. Like the other team dropped or quit and Destiny did its best to make a game even though it should have just given you a win and dumped you to orbit.

Yeah it was weird. It gave us 2 the win and the other guy got neither a win or loss on his score card.

Destiny Tracker counted it as a loss though.

I decided to create an alt last night. Used my spark of light, which gave me a good scout, but then I ended up getting a Suros JPS 55 with Red-dot ORS and counterbalance. It is a Grasp/oversoul archetype and it kills hilariously fast. I played one game in the crucible and had the second highest score and highest KD. It was weird how bad some people were. I didn't see any cat emblems, but a lot of 334 players who would do stupid things like crouching down when getting shot trying to capture a point and not even trying to return fire. I had 3 or 4 throwing knife kills because people would stand still and shoot or run straight at me. I am a middling level player, and I felt over powered as a 26 with 125 light. I miss my trip mines, triple jump and a heavy machine gun, but it was fun.

I just hope I am not killing some 8 year old kid playing on his brothers account.

My new GT is NewbMeatShield if anybody wants to play. I will be doing banner under my normal account most of this week.

We find out at 10AM Pacific. With the amount of gear you get from the playlist now you're very likely to get something close to those.

They should have an IB where it's all the game modes randomly selected.. including a six man elimination mode.

But you'd end up playing rift all night anyways because RNG keeps rolling 1's.

Ive been out of the loop over the last few weeks and was pretty suprised to see the LFG stuff that XBOX are going to stuff into their system in the next few months (?)

The Club, LFG & Arena stuff seems pretty interesting, does anyone think this will take off in Destiny? I can definitely see the benefits of not having to have the LFG app set up on my phone and having to find my table or be thumbing through my phone while in orbit to find e-friends, it also seems like it would integrate into games a little more seamlessly as well so would solve a number of issues with these types of activities in general.

It would also make a large amount of things irrelevant, so clans, 3rd party websites, slack groups could all potentially be superseded providing it works and isn't poo poo.

Even if it works it will be poo poo because it doesn't fix the fundamental problem: everyone on the internet is a loving idiot.

Nightstalker with invisi smoke, Khepri's Sting for even more invisi and UR.

Not gonna bother with IB class, shader or alts because all I want to do is farm for Weylorans.

I've seen very questionable tactics ever since I switched.
Also taught some guys the secret Bone Krew tech of 'gently caress the B flag' on Vertigo last night.

No reason to ever but that one minor bounty and no real reason to do the bounties unless you only have half an hour to play all week? Rep is idiotic now, only reason to actively want to hit Rank 5 at all or even quickly is you desperately need eighty shells. Otherwise, not bothering with anything is the clear ideal.

You'll want to hit rank 2 quickly since I believe that's when items start dropping but after that? Nah. I'm literally out of things that I need to 335.

Can never have too much arm infusion bait because arms are the one armor piece where there's a lot of options.. need a fast reload for each weapon type, and maybe a mix of melee speed/grenade distance as well.

That Rift match I posted the other day was too slow, so we sped it up.

https://youtu.be/n46W1T-6flE

3m15s -- not even long enough for me to get an Unbroken. "Fastest Best Rift mercy" should be an SA challenge.

e: you're limited by the speed of respawn and spark recharge, so this is probably approaching the limit of time

grenade distance is substantially less useful than melee speed on most maps, melee speed lets you trade in a ton of situations where you otherwise couldn't

sniper is grenadier/hidden hand with sightsys/longview slr10/tacsys sls15 and ap rounds/rifled barrel/oiled frame

sniper reload speed on the ps gloves/shotgun reload on the regular

pulse has cb/feeding frenzy and oas/focus lens fla5/quickdraw is and speed reload/braced/oiled frame

sniper rifle ammo on the boots. pretty okay.

PSA for Weylorans farming

imho the god roll would be Shortgaze, Life Support, Braced Frame, Hidden Hand. You could even get away with Ambush to literally max the stability and be safe because the native AA on WM + HH is still higher than any other purp sniper in the game despite the AA hit due to Ambush. Double body shot machine.
