Yeah, stand just outside of it so you're protected and any supers that hit it won't kill you.

I did a dumb thing earlier regarding a bubble. Some dudes dropped one on the heavy spawn and me being overly eager popped golden gun then ran inside figuring even if it was a blinding bubble I'd get a couple of guys with combustion. NOPE, they saw me coming and someone dropped a shadowshot inside the bubble right before I charged in. I promptly desupered and was beaten to death by my obvious betters. I really hate playing hunter in pvp, I just do all sorts of dumb stuff because I'm not as comfortable with the skillset.

Two goldy shots to down the bubble from the outside, third into someone in there. Combustion should take care of the rest.

Bubble by default generates two, alpha lupi generates a third, and bubble being destroyed by enemies generates an additional three.

Other sources of orbs are heavy weapon kills or melee kills while force barrier is up but you don't see those too often in crucible.

That's good to know, I just sort of assumed it would take all three shots to drop the bubble.

Lots of raid stuff, some of which have already been discussed into the ground (voice chat, matchmaking, team unity and how they affect raid design) and some hints about the new one.

quote:

On the difficulty scale, where does it fit next to existing raids?
We’ll see. It’s hard. It’s largely a function of what your light level is versus the raid. King’s Fall has this property of where even if you’re over-leveling the mechanics don’t get easier so it still maintains this high difficulty, which at the time we felt was a virtue because people specifically wanted it and had been asking for it, and I think maybe now the community might be ready for something a little different that they can actually overlevel and get some mastery over.

Without a hint of sarcasm, I think that's a smart outlook on game design in general and it makes me confident in the future of Destiny.

That was a really nice interview.

From the footage so far it seems base level difficulty will be level 38 so if you're at least level 40 you should be fine to start. If it's like TTK your light level shouldn't matter until the higher level post-campaign missions.

Even if you just came back now and opened all your loot boxes and burned through the rep boosters running some CoE, finishing up quests, doing a few strikes and running some pvp you'll probably hit 320 or 330 fairly easily.

Put the strange coins into 3 of coins and bank your exotic engrams and you'll be good to go.

Its probably worth logging in just to buy the vendor hawksaw if you dont already have one for when you do come back or picking up a pdx45 order etc from the gunsmith.

Id also advise buying a bunch of weapon parts when you have 25k glimmer and a bunch of materials when you hit 200 marks because theres little more annoying than wanting to infuse or upgrade new stuff and having like 3 helium filaments and 80 of everything else.

That reminds me I really need to empty my vault of the poo poo I've accumlated. A whole bunch of ARs and fusions I just chucked in there and never took out again.


Already had an invite to a group for tournaments etc when custom matches start in RoI. Should be some cool stuff when it comes about.

For what it's worth I did basically exactly this when I came back last Thursday and went from 314 to 326 over the weekend.

It's not bad, gets some work done. I'd rather run MIDA for TLW for 3's but its pretty effective in 6's so long as I manage my distance correctly.

Had a lot of fun in the Control playlist last night with a couple of bros. Not nearly the lag we saw in this round of IB. Just loving around and tbagging literally all of our kills even if we were losing or if said bagging would get us killed. Mostly we just bagged each other. Holy loving poo poo do people just lose their god drat minds when you do that. The 3 of us got a ton of messages and I'm 99% sure one guy was so loving mad he DoS'd us one by one over the course of 30 minutes. (join and instantly leave our party a few times and one of us would instantly get weaseled right after).

The two people who quit our team with a collective 26 deaths didn't help. :v:

I once got a guy to ragequit by sitting on his ghost. He threw down the gauntlet with the first teabag, and for the rest of the game I beat him in every 1v1 and bagged him to hell and back. Towards the end I decided to up the ante by sitting down and a few seconds later a message popped up that they left the game.
