This game is so dead. Can't get a PVP match with full teams no matter what. Super lame.

Maintenance started 5 minutes ago, everyone is either waiting offline or in the process of getting booted. It's going to take the whole rest of the day so go do something fun outdoors.

No one talks about this.
It's pretty well known that people stop playing games just prior to release of an expansion because they realize they're just spinning the wheels. It's also why people hold off on buying a new car or a new whatever until the new models are released. Consumers and gamers in general are mostly stupid but they still follow basic rewards patterns

Let's all bitch about Microsoft for a minute. Can anyone, by starting at this link:

https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/cat/Xbox-One-games/categoryID.69405600

Get to this page:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/destiny-rise-of-iron-pre-order/c3tbg0pc3fc9

How can a company that runs a web search engine make their own website so lovely at finding a thing I want to buy?

(only way I could get to the pre-order page was to click a link on bungie.net)

uh saying "xbox record that" was loving ownage and let everyone in party chat know you were about to drop some dope poo poo into the news feed. having to double tap the home button and then hit x is the worst poo poo ever because half the time you just go to home instead because you tapped it in the wrong cadence and were out of game for like 10 seconds. or worse now you say okay cortana record that and it takes like 20 seconds to record, which cuts off your sick vid.

I mean obviously but I feel like there are probably more than 11 people playing control last night and they could loosen up something to get us a full team...

I've lost so many sick rear end clips to loving up the double tap, but I refuse to actually get a kinect.

Weapon Tuning update
https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/45154/

quote:

Fabian Strategy - Kills with this weapon now automatically load a portion of the magazine
Increased base range (+16%) and stability (+44%)

Thorn - Reduced base range by 25%

UR - Exotic Perk range bonus reduced by 75% (no longer guarantees maximum shotgun range)
Increased rate of fire (lowers damage as a secondary effect)

Dreg's Promise - Increased damage by 8%
Increased magazine size by 3

Touch of Malice’s self-damage infliction now removes Blessing of Light

Boolean Gemini - Added intrinsic perk High Caliber Rounds

No Time to Explain - Added intrinsic perk Headseeker

Touch of Malice nerf? What's that going to accomplish besides breaking everyone's Oryx strats?

Pulse Rifles
With high rate of fire Pulse Rifles being strong contenders in the crucible, we put our lens on the mid and low rate of fire models, nudging them slightly forward while still maintaining Pulses around the three burst kill.

Increased rate of fire for the Hakke Pulse Rifle Lyudmila-D
Minor increase (2%) to damage for middle rate of fire family Pulse Rifles (Nirwen's Mercy)
Our hawksaws and aegises are safe it seems

There's a new raid coming, ToM and Blessing probably broke things in there.

I'm ready to melt some dudes with the Fabio Strategy tonight



Also bust out my old friend Lyudmila-D but it'll probably still be awful even with a faster fire rate

ToM chips away at blessing like any other damage, it sounds like they changed it so it instantly takes all the blessing and goes after your normal shield/health.

Hopefully the patch unlocks teaser events for the expansion too. This is usually when they sneak that stuff in.

I think instead of a handful of shots eating it down, the first eradicates it? Which ostensibly can be countered by simply dipping in and out of the bubble an extra time or two, to heal? (I'm not a Defender, idk) Which means this change will only be an issue for anyone who is simultaneously blind, an idiot, and not paying attention?
