Been getting my rear end kicked in IB this week, but I've been able to upgrade my boots and my MG, so I don't mind.

Mg? How?

So if you can't get your scarab emblem to display on bnet because it keeps displaying a bnet tar instead of your emblem, make sure you check "display public profile" in your account settings.

I thought last month's vendor items could drop after you hit rank five. Wasn't that MG and scout rifle?

Bro here is how a true baller pubstomper plays IB:

1. Log in Tuesday afternoon and get a Best Around Medal in your first match, then play 6 more games until you have 7 wins and all the weekly bounties finished.

2. Play a few games on Wednesday and Thursday so you get the dailies done.

3. Stomp mad pubbies over the weekend while the player pool is large and the sweatiest of bros are doing paid trials carries and scarab farms.

it's round, like always

been having a lot of fun in iron banana today, still no nirwens though which is basically all I want.

what's the chances of me, the average fat gay idiot, making it to the end of trials of Osiris? is that still a thing? having never done it before it seems like the reserve of fatter gayer (xim having) folks than me.

Ranking doesn't matter in IB, in fact you want to avoid rank 5 as long as possible so your pool of potential drops doesn't get cluttered with the ghosts (which seem to have a huge percentage chance). If you want guns you want to play as many games as possible for rank 3 and 4.

You can get drops at all ranks, but anecdotally the chance of a drop seems to go up the higher your rank.

if you finish your weeklies and save them for Sunday or Monday you'll hit rank 5 no problem.

There are two ways of going flawless:

1. Be decent or better and play with 2 other dudes who are the same, and eventually gel and get a good series of games. Might take forever.

2. Play with 2 people who are extremely good. Either because you know them, because you're paying them, or because you won a raffle in their twitch stream.

As a dude who has all the time in the world but can never really set aside a long uninterrupted stretch for seriously pvp anymore, I am lucky enough to still have some savages on my friend's list.

My wife convinced me to wait and then bought me a PS3 for Christmas 2014. The console came bundled with either Fallout 4 or Destiny. After my wife told the sales clerk I am a huge science fiction fan he suggested the Destiny bundle, for which I am extremely thankful. I upgraded to the PS4 in July after I saw an online comparison of the graphics between the 3 and the 4. Recently I purchased an Xbox One with the Elite controller bundled with Halo 5 and I also bought the Master Chief series. I want to see the progression of Halo 1- 4 and on to Destiny.

I'm sorry to see it being slowly replaced by connection based matchmaking and I understand the elite player’s problems with red bar connections and "sweaty" matches, but for me, every foray into the Crucible is sweaty.

Also lmao at bungie deploying this old scrub as a propaganda piece for SBMM.

When I got the high score in Iron Banner, I was so excited I wanted to share with the community and encourage players not to quit when they fail. As I told one player who asked my secret, I replied. "Persistence, never quit."

Actually your secret is SBMM, aka socialism. Dude is probably a big Trump guy and votes straight ticket R while living high on the hog off of his vet bennies, social security, Medicaid and SBMM.

What a crock. There is no way in gently caress he actually wrote that. Get hosed Bungie. What a blatantly transparent load of poo poo.

I would bet you anything someone who works for Bungie wrote that.

Of course there are, but why should they get a nice clean lobby the 3 times a month they pop into the crucible while someone like me who pvps pretty frequently and is halfway decent has to deal with lagged out red bars on the regular?
