I don't know if that's better or worse than that chunk of the moon right next to a chest that you fall right through.

The context of that texture is even better because of the snowball of hilarious things The Xtortionist, ViewtifulJC, and I dealt with. That was the icing on the Destiny cake tonight.

Top of the list has to be that bastard public event that robbed us blind by skipping the enemy all the way to the last checkpoint after only 2 minutes when it had like <20% health. So disrespectful. So annoying. So funny.

I purchased a shader without previewing it, and boy, did I fuck up.

Haha! That looks hideous!

[Omni]

did you try to solo it?

I had two others. We were only ranks 20, 21 and 22 though. It's actually pretty ridiculous how bullet spongy all of the enemies are

 

[GrizzNKev]

Anyone done the weekly strike yet?

Holy crap. Grinded all the way to the final boss, got him down to half health and then proceeded to get my ass kicked 5+ times. Ended up quitting

Yeah, did it with a couple friends. We were levels 22, 21, and 20. It took good communication and some patience, but we stopped getting wiped once we got our act together at the part with the 3 waves. It was the most fun I've had playing Destiny so far.

Apologies because this has probably been asked to death, I know you have to buy it before January 15th but is there any time limit on when you can get the PS4 version if you get the PS3 version in time? Say I buy the PS3 version tomorrow do I have to get the ps4 version before then to get it free or do you get it free to grab whenever you finally get a PS4?

Yeah... All the ones I've gotten so far are terrible. Is there a way to preview them?

I think you can hit triangle or square to preview them at the vendor, but Blood was returning to orbit, so I bought it out of panic.

You have to claim the PS4 version before that date, but you can just do that in the webstore without owning a PS4.

I was laughing so hard I had to mute my mic at points...the fucking credits being buried in that corner with no indication or anything, lol

godlike

edit - and for the record, I am A-OK with brown!. Just not brown deserts... :l

 

[Yu Narukami]

Does anybody know what the level of the Cryptarch does? Does it give a better chance to get rare loot from an engram?

 

[Noisepurge]

How? I've barely done anything and the moon is already open on my map.

open and started are different things! you could play PvP only and not leave earth or grind the earth missions alone.

 

[Chamber]

What, you mean the little square with two colored circles inside isn't enough of a preview?

atleast it allows you to buy better engrams from the Cryptarch, just an artificial barrier

 

[zap]

Ok try un-installing of whats done already. Then hard reboot to clear the cache and try again.

Thanks man. Got it sorted. How is this workaround required?! It's ridiculous.

 

[JimPanzer]

I'm lvl 23 but don't have any friends playing destiny which are up to my level, but I really want to try the Weekly with a group. So if anyone is looking for a additional fireteam member, hit me up!

 

[ItsAllGoodInMyHood]

Hey Activision, where the fuck is the OST to purchase?

I approve.

Ah cracking, thanks.

 

[Yu Narukami]

So what determines the rarity of an engram when you trade it is just RNG?

 

[bombshell]

I think one of the vendors require certain cryptarch ranks for items, but I'm not sure. I have to go look again.

 

[FamousLastX]

Level 24 Dust Palace strike, holy hell is that a trial in patience. Probably my least favorite strike to begin with other than the moon, but the amount of health those 3 assholes have at the end is just insane. And the matching elementals weren't even speeding up the process all that much. Took two tries, but damn was it nice to be able to say I beat it with randoms. Now to hope it never comes up in the Strike playlist again, there should really be a veto option

Random question I felt like taking on to this but is there a vendor that sells extra Ghost skins that I'm missing or do they ever drop? I've yet to see one.

 

[Klyka]

I would again like to point out that the higher in content you get, the more important elemental weapons become so you can take down captains/wizards/etc out fast and effortlessly.

Arc vs blue shield

Fire vs orange shield

Void vs purple shield

Please remember this!

 

[malfcn]

Just did some AI on Venus. 3 Randoms on 20 and we did it in one try.

[thetrin]

The cinematic with the Speaker was really awful. Contrived, not useful in terms of story and pretentiously presented.

"I could tell you about all this stuff that would give you context for what's happening around you; stuff you wouldn't know because you've apparently been dead for a long time. I could tell you about the history behind this entire conflict...but I'm not going to."

I'm still scratching my head over why that scene was written that way.

This is such an obvious farmville. Me and two friends got there in patrol yesterday, noticed the unlimited and near instant spawns and were like: let's farm the shit out of this place. Knocked out a few patrol missions (they respawn there too and often they're just kill x amount of enemies), bounties and offcourse glitter and engrams.

Look extremely boring. I hope they patch it fast.

Well at least I know the constant Axiom Coven armor drops aren't just me. I'm not about to farm one area endlessly in hopes of the RNG smiling upon me though.

I know what I'll be doing for the next half hour. I need some light gear asap

 

[The Xtortionist]

hahaha dammit, I missed everything.

We gotta play tomorrow. I'm probably one Crucible match away from level 20, so we can do whatever after that.

 

[hamchan]

Tried it earlier today for half an hour. It is very boring, even more boring than the standard strike.

 

[NastyBook]

Wow, he's got two of these? LOL

 

[CLBridges]

Got my first legendary drop yesterday from an engram. Couldn't believe it when the cryptarc deciphered it. Primary weapon pulse rifle that can turn into an auto rifle once I level it up more. Also, I need to do that weekly strike this weekend, tried it alone and lol no. Any and everybody can add me on PSN...GhostFaceDon (that's my psn)

 

[Loomba]

Anyone know why on the bungie.net site my character doesn't appear only a big red square does?

 

[Noisepurge]

So what determines the rarity of an engram when you trade it is just RNG?

they are colored too, white for normals, green for uncommon etc.

 

[ComputerMKII]

My characters never appear at the Character Selection screen. All I see is a round loading indicator. Has this been happening to anybody else?

 

[Yu Narukami]

they are colored too, white for normals, green for uncommon etc.

I know that obviously, but sometimes the engrams lists chance of green and chance of blue even when the engram is green. I wanted to know what determines what you receive in the end.

 

[Uthred]

No matchmaking for dailies and weeklies seems like (yet another) weird choice

 

[VE3TRO]

Thanks man. Got it sorted. How is this workaround required?! It's ridiculous.

No problem. For what ever reason Microsoft seemed to decided that if you have the disc or not it would download the full game rather than install from disc then patch.

It such a pain on larger games like Wolfenstein where its 40GB download. I always install offline then patch if needed. Only game I believe so far to have the largest patch is Sniper Elite 3 with 20GB.

 

[Papercuts]

I know that obviously, but sometimes the engrams lists chance of green and chance of blue even when the engram is green. I wanted to know what determines what you receive in the end.

Just random. You can also drop below, like getting a white from a green. The only legendary thing I got so far was an engram that became a blue sniper rifle that was worse in every way of the one I already have.

 

[Chamber]

I know that obviously, but sometimes the engrams lists chance of green and chance of blue even when the engram is green. I wanted to know what determines what you receive in the end.

It's random. You can decrypt a legendary and get an rare item which, as someone else pointed out, makes you wonder why they aren't all the same damn color.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I gotta gain 2 levels in time for this raid. This gear grinding is torturous.

 

[malfcn]

Sat here for a few hours after getting 20.
I'll be hitting it hard tomorrow to see what happens.

 

[darthbob]

Dailies are easy enough to solo, if you're geared properly.

The weeklies however, well, you're gonna want the cohesion of friends.

 

[Wallach]

Anyone down for level 20 or 22 Strike playlist action for an hour or so? Add me on PS4: WallachGAF

Huh? You sat where and you're hitting what to see if what?
