Well my second Xbox One did its party trick today and bricked during the update. I literally spent from ten to five today trying to fix it. I swear to god if I wasn't so invested in all my friends being on the Bone I'd switch. I borrowed my Dad's Xbone for while I figure out the multiple problems my second bone has. Oh and playing Overwatch with you guys last night was fun. Right now I'm installing updates then I'm going to spend the night gaming.

Hey goons, (repost from BF1 thread)

Resident bad gamer here. (Xbone Tag - OldCaptainLog)You might now me as the guy with an irritating parrot or the irritating guy with a parrot if you played XBONE destiny or BF3 for 360. Well, the parrots died and I'm still here bored. Let's play!

Also, if I haven't played with you a bunch please send a message with a friend request. The lack of being able to make groups (to my knowledge) means I loose track of some of my best buds at times. Also my memory is a little hosed.

P. S. I think I received multiple slack invites but my spam filter caught them. Could someone give me a heads up if they send one over?

For passing gear on down to any alts I create, am I right in thinking that because it's relatively easy to get to level 40, I should only really start storing gear at the upper 300 levels?

I.e. say I get up to 391 with my first character, rather than just dismantling any lower level gear that drops at like 385 or whatever, I should bank it?

Or when you get to 400, do you pretty much just keep getting 400 gear from strikes and whatnot that you can just pass on directly anyway?

I'd like input on this. I'm at around 350 and need to know if the gear I'm wearing has an effect on the drops. Because if so I'm never doing a Gunsmith quest again.

Once you get to 400, all strike exclusive gear/exotics/crucible drops etc will be 400.


Yes, your light level effects the light level of the gear you pick up. In SIVA heroic strikes, blues can go up to 385.

Just FYI, Iron Banner starts today. Even if you don't like PvP, the game basically shits high level gear at you which makes for easy power leveling.

Thanks man. How much light is worth spending mats for infusing? 351 to 353 worth it or should I wait?

Also before my break I had only missed two Iron Banners. We gonna ball.

This is not an exaggeration because I could count in the system notifications - I had to hard cycle my Bone off NINETEEN TIMES yesterday.

So if any of you were trying to say hello I'm sorry.

P.S. I've had three Bones and sold the first one (bricked out of warranty) and had to system restore the second two from a loving USB drive. The process is mind numbing. You even have to format the USBs drive filing system and if you have a Mac, gently caress you. (I have a Mac)

Primary meta is, in order from most to least popular

- Very low impact pulse (clever dragon, waltz or grasp of malok), ideally with High Caliber Rounds
- Mid impact hand cannon (eyasluna or palindrome) with rifles barrel
- No Land Beyond
- The Last Word

Special meta is, in order of popularity:

- Very high impact shotgun (matador) with rifled or reinforced barrel or one step down in impact if you don't have that (party crasher)
- High impact sniper (1k stare, LDR, Winged Word)
- Saladin's Vigil with rifled barrel
- Crow's Eye sidearm with a damage barrel, or Wormwood archetype otherwise (people have said conflicting things on HCR but it's easy to get one with it while you grind out a waltz)

Heavy meta is:

- Silvered Dread with field scout (this poo poo is far beyond broken)
- Truth
- G&H rocket launcher
- Zombie Apocalypse with a damage mod (props to ABGD for explanation here)
- Bonekrusher / Bane of the Taken with Rifled Barrel

For somebody starting back up right now, I would recommend doing the following:

- grind FWC rep, primarily for a waltz with either perfect balance or smallbore, HCR, and your choice of CB/RF/HH. Save good rolls on the sidearm, fusion, rocket launcher
- buy the vendor palindrome
- grind DO for the shotgun and sniper
- buy the vendor event horizon/get devils dawn from skeleton key chest
- grind archons forge for saladins vigil and the sniper

This is an EXTREMELY helpful post. Genuine thanks.

I actually reported someone for the second time in my seven years. Dude was red barring and over 7k in a non-Rift PVP. I unloaded my auto rifle, then my shotgun, then stabbed him twice with him standing there like a loving dolt. Then I magically exploded.

I still feel guilty for reporting him. What if he was just some poor fellow with a bad connection? Could I send him Peggle to play instead?

Does anyone over the age of thirteen give a poo poo about the story? I love the game because of the Halo-esque gameplay, item grinding, character progression, and space Barbie dressing. Doing all of that in a community is fun and really shows where Halo Five missed the mark

Oh gently caress don't tell me Division got better. I loved the "feel" between the controller, the character, and the environment. The lack of varied aesthetics and fact that no matter what you got, you still looked like a backwoods prepper turned me off. The gear customization also seemed unintuitive and frustrating.
