It's one of the Hakke shaders (don't think it's History Polish since that's shiny). Can get it from the Gunsmith.

The Hakke History/History Polish shaders look ace on everything somehow. I really don't know how they pulled off "sand/orange/gunmetal", but somehow Bungie did it.

hey the font kinda sucks for player names/NPCs and is hard to read if you're couch gaming.

Funny story, the only time I've done anything in the raid was when I found a PUG raid on the Bungie.net fiteteam finder. I play EU so the other five guys were all from different countries with their respective accents. The raid leader would call out the runners' names during the gauntlet. He kept calling out "shensay calus shensay calus" and we kept loving up and dying. Then I realized that he was trying to say "Sensei Chalice Sensei Chalice" because I loaded up the roster tab to see who the gently caress in our raid was named Shenshay.

I suggested that instead of calling out the name of the runner and the symbol, those on the four pillars learn the symbols they can shoot so when someone calls out "axe mid," the two who can shoot the correct triangles, and single syllable words work better for snap shooting, so "pig cup axe sun" works better than loving "Chalice boar solar axes" for our multinational, multilingual group. Worked well until the raid leader forgot to explain to punch the Psions.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
All bickering aside, keeping one of each gun is a solid idea. The meta changes every few months or so with each major balance pass. A mediocre gun now might be very strong later, and vice versa. Destiny 1 had a bunch of infamous metagames. One day it was Thorn, the next day it was Matador 64s and Hawkmoons/Eyaslunas, or Hopscotch Pilgrims. It shifted around.

Who knows - perhaps in the next balancing pass, 450 RPM ARs like Uriel's Gift and The Number might get a significant nerf and unusable SMGs like Foggy Notion and Hero's Burden suddenly become killing machines. There's a definite precedent for it. So save one of everything, especially if they come from limited time events :)

The color should probably be described as, "Sepia," rather than, "Sand" given that it's Hakke History Polish. :v:

I'm not sure many are hard on Trials yet, but I'm always down, and would love it if others Trials'd too, especially this weekend before the CoO release. If I'm around, catch me for a game or two to see if I'm a drag/don't play to your style.

Mr Bungie just announced they’re doing a free trial for players and they can play part of the campaign AND Competetive (sic) PVP!

This excites me so I can milk some demo players in that PvP. Basically just gonna back out until I’m grouped against demos.

Great strategy Mr Bungie.

Yes, essentially. As far as I know, Trials is connection based match making with some form of skill based matching, but it prioritizes connections. Well, at least I've been told that!

The most bullshit thing in this game is legendary loving kinetic mods.

Buy random mods. Hope you get a stack of three!

Turn those three into one legendary.

Do that again.

Disassemble both those legendary mods.

Trade the parts for a random weapon mod. 25% chance of it being kinetic.

Cheapest possible legendary kinetic mod would be 12,500 glimmer. In practice it will cost you more like 50,000 - 100,000 glimmer each.

I don't give a rat-gently caress about what are effectively cosmetic items being completely random and taking a lot of commitment to get, but why the gently caress should legendary kinetic mods be so hard to get when legendary elemental mods drop like candy?

Ok instead of bitching about what we don't know how to fix without holding bungie employees for ransom or something equally as stupid/crazy.

Let's solve what we do know...

WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO FARM GLIMMER? In the first Destiny, it was that first mission with Cabal where the drop ships would come and you'd farm glimmer fast..

In this one,I have yet to find a good glimmer farm..

Short list:

Sondok-C and Philippis-B - both are kinetic SMGs (stand in for Antiope)

Cuboid ARu and Ros Lysis - kinetic ARs, one has the equivalent of Persistence (shoot more and it gets more stable) and the other has ADS improved handling and accuracy
Sand Wasp-3au - energy AR with HCR and Persistence

Armillary PSu - a kinetic Scout Rifle with HCR

Madrugada SR2- energy Scout Rifle with explosive rounds!

Black Tiger 2sr - energy Scout Rifle with Zen Moment

There is this blue kinetic scout rifle, the Trax Lysis II which I don't THINK there is a legendary of? It's got the High impact, slow fire trait and full auto trait at the same time, I like it because it reminds me of the Skyburner when I use it, even though it looks closer to an off brand MIDA. But it doesn't have a max rate of fire or explosive ammo so I'm fairly certain I'm the only person on the world who cares :v:

So the hand in hand, a green shotgun sometimes sold by vendors (I've purchased it from Hawthorne), has the best consistent one hit kill range of any non-slug shotgun that isn't legend of acrius. I think it's the only non-slug precision archetype shotgun.
