Back in September, I spent $50 on Silver when I was excited to play all of the games content while showing off my loot.

Nowadays, I slog through the boring same content so that I can unlock new loot. I can't imagine spending money on the loot to bypass the only reason I play the game

Time to try out the new lucky pants

This thing has the longest reload ever, ugh.

Luckily my new Obsidian Aspect gauntlets fix that up real good. I may have found my favorite exotic just for the sheer utility. As much as i love winter's guile punchytimes..

I tried a heroic strike with devils+beast and lucky pants... can't say I enjoyed the play style very much. I was on my lovely remote play, which hampers my aim a bit. I'll have to give it another try.

$250? On Destiny total? That is lol!

All things considered, D1 and D2 have gotten me to spend ~$900 (years of PS+ and PS4 Pro upgrade costs included, plus the games and expansions, etc). I love Destiny and am in for the long haul. Idgaf, I ain't hurting for cash.

Dust bypassing rng really does it for me. If I'm not into playing for a bit or can't, I like to be able to buy an item directly and without having to triage what I can or can't get later. To get a shot at that rng while getting guaranteed currency for guaranteed ability to procure, worth a few bucks imo.

I actually really, really like Eververse and overall think it's terrific wrt the store itself- the items within, Bright engrams and Dust implementation, and lots more. I absolutely hate that the game tyrannically focuses on and pushes the store as it makes things lovely and gross, and upsets so many players. I would love if events and poo poo were narrative driven, and activities were another source for the item types now monopolized by Tess, and hope those become true one day but until then, poo poo.

Only things remaining I want are the Kabr ship and Acrius ornament. Once I have those, I'll be set for a long while.

I got a Rupture sparrow with instant summon for my free Dawning gift. Instantly put it on my Hunter so all my 3 characters have instant summon now. Now I just have to actually play the game once in a while

Waiter, this band keeps shooting pearls at me.
Score of the night was that mercury Garden scout rifle from the forge thing. The level one gun I'm guessing. I immediately got hard and kinetic upgrade and crucible MW it (got reload). Looks tight as hell. Wish the scope didn't take up half the screen but I've been scout rifling with ranged scopes for about a month so it's fine.

I guess what I want now is the colony white gun skin and the tricky pants skin so I can do any dress up combo that isn't purple.

I've seen it mentioned before sort of, but a game mode that would own is hardcore or horror patrol or whatever it would be called and only stray yellow bar enemies, bosses and lone wolf players allowed.. with friendly fire on. Public events would also be activated. It would be amazing.

These missions that you can get in ikora are absolutely rubbish. I walked around in circles in Io for one hour to complete one, and all I received was a ugly ship. I want my hour back.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.



I personally hold that you are the single best player of Destiny: The Game

They don't break down into Dust, no? Just Legendary shards?

Yeah, I think I'm dunzo with them because I got the sword today and I don't gently caress around with Legendary ish.

My first game of Mayhem I get spawn-killed. Even better when its someone cloaking with a shotgun. Of course I also had AFK people on my team so I left that game pretty fast. Not a great start.

I just finished a Mayhem match against a team of warlocks with zero cooldown- they could fire nova bombs the instant they finished firing their last one and filled the entire level with it.

Were they all wearing the Skull of Dire Whatsisname? As long as they kept killing people with the nova bombs, it’s conceivable.

Edit: hahahahaa “dodgeball,” what a great bug.

The faults with Mayhem are, without exception (uh maybe one exception *dies to infinite nova bombs*) faults with the base 4v4 experience.

Bad spawns, the one idiot dragging down the whole team, rotation heavy gameplay, etc....it’s just....still there. Not new.
