I think that's one of the better looking exotics, personally. The other titan arms, the ones that look kinda like the RoI raid gear, also look fantastic, especially with shaders. Anyway, you can just use a different exotic. The meta hasn't solidified yet, so it's possible that refusing to use a given one might give you a bit of a disadvantage, but it's not going to lock you out of viability, especially for PvE content.

Do you? It looks to me like it came out of a bad 80's music video.

It's good to know that I can skip them. I really hate almost all the exotics with very few exceptions. I feel terribly silly writing this, but honestly, it's going to spoil my fun a little if I'm forced to use them.

edit: I just saw the void helmet, and ouch! I think I'll have to go with some other class, the warlock rags are not looking so bad to me right now.

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



It seems weird that there's no transmogrify system like basically every other loot-based game ever made. Halo was pretty free with customizable looks too, right? I haven't played that series in forever but I seem to recall that being a big deal in multiplayer.

I've seen a lot of cool-looking armor but I guess it's mostly attached to lovely gear?

xzzy
Mar 5, 2009

Low level poo poo gear actually ends up being the coolest looking because as we start getting trials and raid gear, everyone's gonna start looking like egyptian statues or junk yard scraps or whatever. Once you pick the shader you want you can look pretty badass.

Yeah, the lack of cosmetic slots sucks, but bitching about it won't change it because Bungie has never hinted they give a poo poo about offering that kind of customization.

BEETLE looks like a general network error. Gimme some basics:

- Using wifi or hard ethernet cable?
- What's your network look like; is your console plugged directly into the router?

It's definitely the power line adapter causing an issue. Switched over to Wi-Fi and it's working fine without errors. I should suck it up and run the Ethernet cables all the way through the house but I don't have a cord that long right now.

Thanks for offering to troubleshoot! I appreciate it.

Missions aren't matchmade but if you form a fireteam with friends first you can play them in co-op. The only part of the game where co-op is absolutely not possible is the intro mission in the tower.

That said, it's probably a better experience solo, because they're scripted around a single player's actions. Nothing will break, but your friends will be triggering things you aren't there to witness and talking over the instructions.

DrNutt posted:

It's awful for general combat owing to the small explosive radius and single grenade reload. If you miss, you're hosed for the next few seconds. However it is a very good boss killer I've found so far. It's not bad for single target damage at all. I used it on the public event in the EDZ where you kill a cabal colossus leader after taking down a thresher, and it knocked off chunks off his health.

I've since replaced it with a higher level submachine gun but I will probably go back and infuse it for the raid bosses.

Why would you need to matchmake story missions? You only have to be one step away from clinically brain dead to do them. Co-op with friends is for the good time, not shared load for difficulty mitigation.

Yes. Yes it does. We've also got Discords, Slacks, and maybe even still IRC to help assuage this sorta thing, and a boatload of clans to join.

Your clan list sits right next to your friends list. I've had over 100 "friends" playing this week. If you play regularly with the same, say, 10-20 people, it's nice to not to have to flip through tab after tab to find 2, 3, or 5 other people to join your fireteam.
