ASK ME ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC TO POSITIVITY

Made a UK only Xbox One Clan for Goons as I was having trouble finding anyone to play with given the time zone differences.

Clan name is Eleven Herbs and Space. There's 4 of us at the moment. Any UK goon is welcome.

Destiny 2 is not working for me at some levels. It seems I am more a RPG player than a FPS player and the thing they removed where the things I use to climb to high end content.

They sold about 6 Xbones in the UK so you might be lucky and find the remaing 2 on SA

You may as well join the US guys and that one weirdo in Australia since the lag is still ok for pve

There are worse people. Also, a lot of "good" players will flip out and panic, making stupid plays, if they get killed even once by someone they view as a "scrub". The other night some guy sent me a hilarious message about how I was a "loving casual fag with a pink fag banner" after downing him like 10 times.

Competitive video games have always been like this, no new tale to tell. It's pretty funny.

I gotta say though, 3 vs 4 in Countdown is some straight bullshit if just for the fact that you still have to play every round till the end even when getting stomped.

The thing I don't like about PvP is that even if you're decent, if you got a bad team you're just hosed. If I'm against a team that sticks together most of the time (organized or not) and your team just scatters the whole time you're just not going to have fun and you will lose terribly. Chasing down teammates to try and stick together only to ever showup to dudes fighting 1v3 and dying gets old quick.

6v6 might fix this but most games are either stomps either way. Make esports bullshit niche, not casual PvP, I just wanna shoot some dudes in some fun games a few times a week, not go hardcore MLG.

You still get rewards if you lose so if you're on a team of really dumb people just make your own fun, it's not that hard. Run up to the other team and do the chicken dance.

Well if it ended on some kill limit of 25 or something it would be tolerable instead of getting shot for 10m or whatever the time limit is

I don't really understand why "Competitive" doesn't have any mercy ruling. Had a group of 4 solo queues up against a 4-man fireteam. Two teammates left and it was just me and a pubbie jumping off the side to make this slow rear end game of Survival end faster. We had like 2 kills the entire game during the first round but had no mercy ruling.

Thank God you only have to play Competitive playlist twice per character.

Near as I can tell, loot drops in the raid itself are much rarer than before and the vendor is meant to be your main source of gear, which is a very strange decision.

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.

And then the vendor gives you random items for the tokens? What a strange system.

I kinda like it this way. I'm sitting on dozens of those tokens and when I finally beat Calus one of these weeks I'll get a nice pile of goodies for it. Still tho it'd make more sense to have that system on top of guaranteed gear drops after each raid encounter.

No one talks about this.
The thing I miss from D1 was when they allowed you to choose either armor or weapons from your rank up package. That would be a nice QoL change.

Do quick play. You will have more time in a game spent shooting other players.

You've done well, kiddo.
I don't understand why you don't get a choice between 3 items in rank up packages. I mean, the mechanic already exists in the game in some missions, the only reason I can think of them not adding it is to just be obtuse as possible/increase the grind as much as possible.

Even a choice between 3 lovely items gives the player some sense of satisfaction, rather than the raid vendor giving me 4 warlock bonds in a row after it also dropped from Calus.

Trials is just competitive pvp that requires a fireteam so yeah. It's not different modes or anything this time.

But what you really need is a group you play with as a unit frequently until you're good enough to win consistently without one.

That's the main issue if I lived in the US I think I'd be fine but seems difficult to find people at decent times for me to play consistently. Even having trouble getting raid groups.

There's a few UK goons knocking about here, I even managed to join a group with a guy from the same city as me. Plenty of eurogoons too that will probably be more timezone friendly

Also there's a role in the discord for UK/Euro people

Don't need 300 really, me and two others somewhere in the 290s did it fine. You definitely cannot do it solo though. It's a timed strike with the burn modifiers just like a regular nightfall, have to shoot anomalies through it to get extra time. If you can get to the boss, just wait until it's a solar burn and all use merciless if you have it. We took the boss down from full to dead in 20 seconds, skipping his gimmick orb stuff.

If you are a women, you can pretend to be blind
Plan A:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishmaeldaro/spanish-woman-pretending-to-be-blind-fake

Plan B:
The skin naturally produce all the protection it needs. Taking a shower remove that protection and puts your life in risk. Stop taking showers.

Plan C:
Create a Gofundme account or a patreon account asking family and friends for money to fund a IFV. Then if somebody visit you, make your girlfriend tell you "Is now the time, we have to do it just now" and run out of the room. Then jump with your girlfriend in the bed, making a lot of weird noises, to make the people in the house feel ackward.

(If you need more information:)
https://www.reddit.com/r/UnethicalLifeProTips/comments/6ydhpi/ulpt_plan_to_be_childfree_but_have_nagging/

Plan C will give you a extra monetary stream, while Plan B literally stink. Plan A need a lot of work to pull it.
