Yes if there's something Destiny players love, it's visiting a website to get the game's story.

But isn't Destiny basically just an interactive website?

It really is, so much of the game is accessed through their API really the only reason we need a console is to actually shoot the guns we get.

Could make a game mode around this.
Space AIDS can only be transmitted through a thorough teabagging of someone's ghost, so stick together and get that revive or else.

according to reddit you can get it from or pickup or crucible kill of infected players. the log on the site said it started on the dust palace and is now everywhere, and to talk to ikora about it?

Hmmmm. Ikora had no input, ran Dust Palace strike and returned to her but nothing still. Suppose I'll be patient, give some Reddit spergs time to crack the case.

One of the new perks is incendiary rounds and it has the same effect as lighting rounds on Thunderlord so Firelord confirmed.
Edit: oh and there's null rounds too so 3 of them I guess.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

Stopped playing shortly after hardmode king's fall came out, and only popped in again for a few days right after sparrow racing ended. I'm getting back in for Rise of Iron now. What should I be doing to get ready? I'm not at the light level cap yet, but I suspect that, like the last few expansions, I can safely ignore that for now because I'll get gear that's better than the current best as drops and vendor sales right off the bat. I assume I should save up legendary marks. Is it worth it to save engrams? I don't remember if saved engrams decoded into new or old gear for the last expansion, but even if they don't yield new content, they could push my cryptarch level up if I mass decode them the day of, right?

You seem like a very casual player, so don't bother doing anything special to prepare. Just play it when it comes out and then check out again afterwards

The game keeps giving me tonnes of free DLC items and even one to trick me into instantly becoming level 25. What is a sunbreaker and is it a mistake levelling up striker if I want to be one later? Also I tested out my AoE attack and accidentally vaporised a wizard which owned.
