The good news is it means we'll have one more IB where you can stunt on low light scrubs, assuming you poopsock your way to 400 light in the next couple weeks which shouldn't be too hard considering we've all figured out the best ways to level up.

In case some people aren't using PGS, we are still trying to get a 6th person to blindly raid WOTM tonight at 8PM CST. We're mostly in 360s so no pressure or anything, just having fun figuring out as much as we can on our own.

Unfortunately no. I like scout rifles, and you have a solid one, but they're hard to use when drag-snipers can kill your long range game and almost everything else will meet or beat you closer.

If you like it though go ahead. It can only make you better to learn how to make it work.

I just fell into a PS4 and have had an interest in Destiny since its release, but since it was never on PC it never mattered. Now thats changed so I ask as someone who has time to commit to grinding but no friends that currently play it. Is this worth buying? My understanding is its sort of borderlandish FPS RPG. I nearly bought it used for 5 bucks but the store clerk told me not to as its unplayable without the updates and dlc content etc. So enlighten me or point me to where this question has already been answered. Its available for 60 bucks on the psn store with everything i think...

Destiny isn't super grindy unless you make it to be. There's some fun pve stuff to do, and some pretty polarizing PVP stuff (it's awesome or terrible). PS4 goons are pretty chill and were usually doing something. The guns aren't totally random but rather all fit different archetypes and then have random perks and sights and stuff that can make two of the same gun kinda different. Different classes are fun and the various sub classes are all pretty good.

If you shoot stuff for an hour or two each night it's not bad and if you wanna sperg and minmax everything you can do that too.

Destiny is a beautiful but insane woman with a good puss game. You hate yourself for not being able to say no but you keep going back.

Buy it.

That's what I did. 8 saved glove engrams, 100 SC a week+ in 3oC, 200 in coins of glove engrams today.

It's basically a game breaker requirement in high end matches now and it's rng locked. Be back when Xur sells it.

I'm probably average at crucible (gold or silver on all game types on guardian.gg), but I think crucible is one of the best parts of this game. It's got problems, but it's really satisfying and fun any time I play. The raiding and PVE content is solid enough to make this one of two games I keep coming back to (the other being rocket league).

Ok so ill buy this destiny, but is there any truth to needing all of this dlc or can i get the original and play it through until the dlc for each expansion, or is it all or nothing?

I was average too but I've been having real hard times lately with the pvp. I dunno if it's just because all the scrub players have moved on or if I've just become drastically worse. Having every player have a 50% win/loss doesn't seem to be a priority for the matchmaking system - I'm in the top 25% with 48%. Something definitely broke between TTK and ROI because my kdr has literally halved.

Crucible is cool in balanced matches but terrible when you're getting stomped every game. Doesn't help that a good portion of your endgame time needs to be spent there.

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

Is not like the others decent for pve at least? I just got a crowd control, hidden hand, explosive rounds and it seems like it'd be fun to tool around with

Also LDR with underdog, perfect balance/HLS/oiled frame, mulligan

vs but not forgotten with perfect balance/hammer forged, AP rounds/snapshot, spray and play/life support

Took me 10 engrams (190 SC) to get it.

I dunno what's up with Bungie's "Weighted towards what you don't already have" algorithm but it's not working very well. OA was literally the only exotic left in the game I didn't own and decrypting 3 Grasps followed by random Titan poo poo was pretty disheartening.

I got two of them the first time I took my warlock through the raid.
