Destiny would be fair better if it just did like other MMO's and gave people content every couple of months then one big rear end expansion every year or two.

And that preview video pretty much answered all my Qs, its gonna be a very light expansion most likely, I expected the raid to be crota tier which isn't necessarily a bad thing, crota was pretty drat short once you got used to doing that wouldn't mind that again considering how terrible Kings Fall is, still not paying 30 though.

Weird ban. Guess he's due for a new account.

Has anyone used the FWC pulse rifle "The Villainy"? There is one for sale now that has headseeker, glass half full, and perfect balance. This seems like a great build, but does glass half full proc in PvP? Is headseeker still glitched?

Na he's been ban evading for a long time now, the fact that it was a completely inconspicuous post makes me think they where watching him already.

Keep in mind that while ROI had only 5 campaign missions, there will likely be a lot of extra missions unlocked after it, like Taken King did. Size-wise it's supposed to be in between TTK and Dark Below

Taken King by itself is cheap now, but when it launched it was $40 US and didn't even include Dark Below or House of Wolves at the time although it required both of them. So ROI being $30 US was expected

Including the old expansions is just pointless fluff at this point as they are pointless to do other than people looking for Necrochasm or the No Time to Explain quest.

The extra missions are just a bunch of padding fluff having you go around the same locations you've done dozens of time except this time a purple taken will spawn or some stupid poo poo, at least the exotic bounties where somewhat interesting.

Hopefully Siva's fall or whatever the gently caress the raid is called isn't as obnoxious as TTK was with all its stupid instant death poo poo but I won't hold my breathe, plus given the sheer amount of times TTK has been on sale there's no point in buying ROI early if you're on the fence.

Just got this for my birthday, doesn't take much to become an iron lord does it? And 322 already despite barely touching TTK and never doing the april update.

Having the iron lord remnants all look identical was so loving lazy, that would have been a cool moment but maybe I'm asking to much from the b-team, oh well, time to get my light up and at least do the raid.

Doesn't work if you never get ghosts or artifacts. It's pointless for me to decrypt engrams at this point because all my gear is 354 but my ghost is 350. This sets my max light level at 353, and everything decrypts at 353 or 354.

Sure, when I finally get a ghost I'll have a bunch of upgrade options but how the gently caress do you get a high light ghost right now? RNG. :buddy:

Conversely I went 12-20 and just got my first character to rank 5. What a horrible experience, is there even any method of matchmaking or does it just slap 12 people together? Also my KDR has dropped from ~1.2 to .8, I guess I'm not good with shotguns.

Got up to 385 at least.

I literally hit rank 2 crucible doing IB and kept getting paired against flawless emblem havers, pretty sure it just dumps whomever together.

Also those titan exotic gauntlets have to be the most useless thing I've ever seen, melee playstyle just doesn't work in this shotgun fuckfest of game, they're also ugly as gently caress to.

And finally the nightmare ends, rank 5 and quest done, never have to do this crap again, still not done with supremacy if I wanna finish off the portion off the book though, oh well.

Got the fusion, 8 unbent trees, 7 proud spires the rocket launcher and the handcannon, good haul, the HC is loving sick. I might do IB when it comes around due to the ease of bounties but I doubt I'll try for rank 5, given how generous the drops are I'm bound to get the guns available, only thing I want is the IB scout really.

So, I've hit 200 legendary marks now and what is a good purchase if I've already bought one of the vendor ghosts?

Crucible HC and Sniper, FWC scout, Dead Orbit shotgun if you play crucible and don't have a matador.

quote:

They probably just need to do something with shotguns

They just need to nerf the impact on them, its why the matador is so dominant, because its either the highest impact class or way the gently caress up there, when a shotty has such insanely high impact it works to extend its a range in a sense since even at its furthest range it still does some damage(I saw tripleWRECK do like 70 at a ridiculous range and his matador is poo poo), combine that with the range extending god roll perks and its why you seem to die from halfway across the room, or you're fighting a matador wielding stormlock, then you WILL die from halfway across the room because of that retarded melee they have.

Knowing bungie they'll just do a blanket nerf to shotguns and make them all poo poo.

I don't think any of the strike guns are super noteworthy anyway. Malok is an interesting archetype but there's better options in that class out there. Devil's Dawn is curious for its absurd impact but there are mountains of good pve snipers out there.

Grasp of Autism is the best gun in that archetype if you're a sweatlord, the only guns that can compete is a well rolled FWC Waltz or maybe the IB one. Thing is stupid and way harder to get now with the Omnigul cheese being gone.

Not actually true, any shotgun that can hit 32 range and 68 impact will be the same in terms of loving people up. There's nothing special about matador other than it's the easiest to farm right now.

Not really, there's something weird about the matador that even guns in the same class can't compare at all god perks or not.

Because missions are dumb. Who replays the missions?

What they need to do is be adding new branches to strikes, new guns, new loot drops, new cosmetics for armor, new ornaments tied to one time events.

Imagine if the reward from this event wasn't a lovely treasure bag that encourages you to pay money for more, but a pick one of a nice set of curated guns, a nifty looking piece of armor or shader/emblem?

I get they gotta make money but they should drop the pretense and admit what they've become instead of lying about it.

I think the whole "gotta make money thing" would fly if this was an F2P game, it isn't, we paid 60(some other retards more than others) plus the season pass for year 1+ taken king+RoI, if you're someone who's been playing Destiny since Year 1 you've paid a 170 dollars for all the content we currently have and a chunk of that is currently pointless because it was never brought up.

I'm fine with micro transactions in free games but not games like this, moreso if the drop RNG for the really cool unique stuff is so terrible that some motherfucker paid 200 dollars and got one of each ghost and sparrow, that's just nuts, at least in Buy to play MMO's they give you a way of gathering the micro transaction money with in game gold or whatever currency they use so its a matter of do you want it now or do you want to grind for it, Destiny has no way to acquire silver beyond getting your wallet out.

I agree with ularg that they should just sell the cosmetics stand alone, even if means paying more, I'm fine with that, I'll drop 5-10 bucks on loving ghost shells or a puke green sparrow, poo poo is infuriating in Black Ops 3 and Overwatch as all the boxes you buy can drop guns, emblems, camos for every gun in the game and cosmetics for like 10 different characters or something and a "rare" pack had no guarantee of dropping rares, it could easily give you 3 commons if it wanted, it can also give you poo poo you already have which is even more aggravating.

Still it can't get any worse than Gears 4 where the unlock system is 100% crate based and the crates that tend to have characters cost the most credits(in game money you get through matches) and 24.99 for 5 crates.
