Thanks Bungie. I'm enjoying playing against the same dozen or so people in every game. Serves me right for not being poo poo at your game.

The next time Xur sells TLW you should smurf 3 or 4 accounts over the weekend. You'll get enough coins if you ps4 dudes get the spark of light and can start doing poes right away.

Nothing quite like going 4 games without dying to anything but shotties or super.

Shotties are bullshit again/still. No one's using anything else. Even snipers are way down because they actually require some skill and why bother when you can just run at someone and get a guaranteed kill.

Don't know how you change that, they need a higher skill ceiling though.

Make primary weapons not poo poo again.

Haven't had to many great games except for this one where i pulled a 23kd on Pantheon:

Good map if you have a fire team. Not so much for solo dropping.

Oh sorry I wasn't really trying to say shotties are OP. I just wish your primary was your primary sometimes.

I also died to a MIDA and an EYESluna on the fifth map :negative:

Well you should be. :v:

Either give them a four round maximum inventory or cut their range in half. I'd be fine if they were a panic situation tool you use a few times a match but I'm tired of dudes running around on the hunt with them.

I think I have a better record on Pantheon than any other map. I always push B right away and throw lightning grenades on the wall behind the snipers that like to camp there.

I just got all three exotic swords at the same time, and I was the one that pulled off the clutch super to make it happen. Feels good. :)

As I really dug vidocs but have never really got streams (I want to just see the juicy bits of info in announcement stream for example), I've not watched yesterdays stream.

Does Rise of Iron look any good or just awful?

Right now Legion might suck me back to WoW if Destiny doesn't keep me gripped with the expac.

It looks ok but the stream stretching like 5 mins of preview into an hour didn't help. I linked a 5 min highlight/summary earlier

All they showed was the start area, 3 armor sets and the preorder sparrow, thats not enough info to judge anything

No one talks about this.
let's be real here, all we care about is the new gear and guns guns guns. until they come through with a listing of like 10 new exotics + new legendaries and new perks, we're gonna just roast them mercilessly


and they arent gonna say poo poo about how much new gear there is until like a week before the game comes out

DESTINY has a place in my heart but when every single patch and update brings with it the potential for scorched Earth disaster, I see no reason to pay to subject myself to playing on a rug that is going to get pulled out from under me as many times as possible.

After three Destiny raids, i've come to accept the fact that I don't have the patience to do them blind. I probably won't even attempt it until everyone else has more or less mastered it, assuming I even bother getting RoI. Also I REALLY hope the next raid doesn't "require" specific weapons in order for me to be useful to the group.

I think years of MMOs have deadened my fear of patches. Used to get very stressed about small things with each patch and fix in WoW years back then kinda didn't care anymore. Its a rollercoaster.

Its a shame when the players are so fed up they leave though esp when you miss out on some cool guys you used to play with giving up on it.

There is no excuse for all the platforming sections in King's Fall and the raid would be far FAR better without them. :colbert:

I like to see people who have written really agressive LFG posts looking for people to raid with that are like "ONLY 335s TOM BS NEED TO BE EXPERT, IF YOU DIE YOU WILL BE KICKED, NO KIDS, NO IDIOTS, SERIOUS RADE ONLY" and their requests sit there for ages cos no one wants to raid with a huffy sad brain who gets annoyed when you spend an hour on the totems cos the game glitching (i.e everyone keeps forgetting to say when they are moving back to centre)

Tbqh everyone should do this. The more people do it the sooner bungie fixes either their rigid SBMM or the ability to do this.

I appreciate your meta joke since we all know that Bungie would rather shut down the crucible until they implement a fix to your workaround rather than dropping SBMM altogether.
The only time they begrudginly caved in to something was about handling a 320 ghost shell in Crimson Days after seeing the data about suicide pacts on Reddit, and if we really want to be malignant it was because the Activision board had already to suck up the idea that Destiny 2 was going to come in 2017 rather than in 2016.

First time I did King's Fall and got up to Warpriest one guy dropped out and the leader replaced him with some random from LFG. Every time someone died he loudly asked why we were playing if we didn't know how to do it right and bitched the whole time that we were playing on normal instead of hard. Everyone mysteriously decided to call it a night at the same time after two wipes with this guy
