Did the old clans get wiped out? In the beta the OG PS4 clan tag still showed up, but I just tried to find it on the Bungie site and it's gone? Or is their website just hosed like it usually is?

How do people feel about the grenade launchers? The only good one I've seen so far is the one that fires flashbang grenades. Otherwise I think I'd rather just have rockets.

I love them, but I have used weapons like that and loved them for a long time in FPSes, so I might just be weird. There's one that's full auto and none of the grenades detonate until you let go of L2 that is pretty cool for very niche uses, but generally they are like rockets that are harder to aim, but have the advantage of being able to shoot over cover.

So are reputation engrams permanently capped at 275? My characters are 284/282 and it now seems pointless to use the Gunsmith as I don't need guns 10-15 light below what I have. Will there be a bump up when I hit 285, or is that it?

As people realize that 90% of the people in their clan don't play any more and look for a new one, a reminder that the OG clan is still around:

https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2?groupId=2082950

We don't have any fancy services you need to sign up for, no funny kid movie references or anything, so if you want a no-frills clan that just plays w/o much fuss, request and I'll approve you. No need to poop up the thread with "I sent an invite..." posts.

I hit rank 20 in IB this morning and played the remake Shores of Time map for the first time. 55 matches and only saw it one time, then I got dropped into another match on that map. It's probably RNG but it certainly feels like the matches are weighted against that map.

I seemed to get "streaks" of maps. The first IB session I played I got Emperor's Respite 4 times in a row and 7 of 10 games I played. Took till the 3rd day I played to see Shores, then I got it 3 times in a row, and something like 6 of the 10 games I played.

Bungie: Good at RNG.

I completely fail to see how this is any different than giving you the item directly.

Some people will get all the items after 10 matches and never do it again. Others will get frustrated after 50 matches without getting what they want and be annoyed.

Except that with tokens they can drip feed you something almost every match where as with direct items they had to space it out so that most of the time you got nothing.

I think they should add an option to buy something off the loot table of each vendor with tokens. Keep RNG engram at 30 tokens, or you can buy a specific piece of gear with 300 or 500 or something "huge". I'd much rather have played all the IB I did and gotten one thing I wanted instead of the SIX loving HELMETS I got. :argh:

But, Bungie gonna Bungie.

Well, the Nightfall this week is loving awful.

Once you know where the rings spawn, it's pretty easy. Kill mobs, get in position to ring jump, have someone go through the first ring, move on. We finished our 2nd run with over seven minutes, and it was by no means a Pro Level venture.

The first run is pretty awful though, I'll give you that.

My RNG is horribly biased towards helmets (see: my post about getting 8 IB engrams and pulling 5 helmets from them) and so to balance you out, I have gotten (and I kid you not) 17 Foetracers. And only a third of my playtime has been my hunter.
