there's an inverse relationship between skill level and lfg requirements. the most unreasonable requirements mostly come from players that are straight up terrible at the game.

Yes this is true. Im just suprised how quickly the community has shut out the majority of players in this instance.

And to be fair, people who are 353 asking for no less than a 375 with emblem tom BS etc is about 40%

Check which materials your faction is getting for donations then use marks for materials at the vanguard quartermaster in the Hangars.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I have to say that ARG to get the diamond open is pretty well put together. It took a lot of crowdsourcing and all the coding/binary crap ties in in kind of a fun way with the whole AI story.

The gun looks cool as hell too. Drops at 390. And shoots siva.

It's literally in the contract that Destiny would drop previous gen support and and Destiny 2 would launch on PC so I don't see why anyone's doubting anything. Also it's funny how you talk about the tears of the PC players considering the tears I've seen today because a bunch of fanboys are losing their console exclusive.

God I hope PS4vPC becomes a thing, it'll be Shadowrun 2.0 all over again.


Which would mean it'd be designed for Scorpio so I'm fine with that. I just hate being forced to use a machine that is 5x slower than the box sitting right next to it. As we saw with Grand Theft Auto V Online, the load times changed from 2-3 minutes (people wouldn't even do missions except for heists because the load times were so long and the missions weren't worth the loading times) to 15-30 seconds at most.

It's not about it being console exclusive or whatever it's about having a nice game where I don't have to deal with people like you.

So I'm still catching up, but I recently started leveling up my third character and am really upset I never thought of throwing over random 365 junk to my other characters to infuse. You can infuse stuff that isn't from your class just fine. So many wasted blues at 365 :negative:

People don't seem to realize that cross platform play is a real thing that Microsoft is promoting now. It's very possible that Windows and Xbox players will face off against each other in game.

PS4 technically supports it too but I think Sony is still not allowing their systems to mingle with Xbox.

What will be interesting to me is if Bungie actually does it how they'll handle the mouse issue. Will they rebalance AA for mice? Or force PC gamers to play with a controller?

Matchmaking for co-op modes only, PVP is separate per platform would be my guess.

Though in actuality: No cross play, PC is too likely to be filled with exploits.

ARG have his place at timegating content at a pace that is controlled by the community, but the appeal is limited. Only a handful of individuals can solve them. People that is merely good at crypto are barren, because the dificulty is one level above that. So is a game for the people that are godlike at crypto problems.

The Irony of this one being crypto themed is not lost on me. One of the most pirated movies of all time are Pirates of the Caribbean, a movie that give appeal to the job of piracy. But the resulting solutions in-game are a bit tiresome. I would have enjoyed more a serie of puzzles of the uncharted style.

I don't believe Microsoft, because none of the times they say something was true.

All dreams of crossplay die instantly with the words "separate servers" said with a soft tone at low volume.

Is true that cheating is more a problem on the PC platform. The PC could be running software to modify memory or scan the network, even modify the network. This change how games need to be written. Network games need to protect memory positions with important variables so are not easy to modify with cheat engine. Network models need to balance the server/client architecture to have more data in the server side, where in a console environment that data could be client-side. But other than that, cheating in the PC platform is always exaggerated by console owners. You can be a PC gamer and never run into cheaters in a multiplayer game, or maybe run into somebody that may be cheating, but you don't truly know.

I had a blue cartridge that would plug into the back of my Ps1. It would stop games spinning once the security was read off the disk, then you could put a "backup" copy of your game in and play that.

You could buy games from the IT kids who were doing computer degrees in the university halls of residence down the street from me. 15 for 5 games.

Contrary to popular belief, a mouse and keyboard doesn't necessarily make you better than a controller user. Black Ops 3 on PC lets people use 360 controllers with aim assist and they do just fine against mouse & keyboard users. Mouse & keyboard offers more precision and thus a higher skill ceiling than a controller, but very few people reach that point.

PC shooters don't use AA with m&k.

Yeah, they could put up with all the whining, and add a bunch of things to the game which may or may not even out the balance between controllers and KBM, and put up with the constant friction in the community over this issue, and tweak them every time there's too much outrage, and enter an endless cycle of complaints and subjectivity...

...or they could uncheck the "allow pc vs console play" box.

I just built a new computer, so if Bungie wants to give me the opportunity to stop paying to play online, I'm going to be all over it. I can see cross-plat working like Rocket League, where PC-PS4 and PC-Bone can match up, but still not PS4-Bone. No cross-play would probably keep me on PS4.
