Welcome to the Thunderlord Brigade. Your enemies only thought they knew fear before.

Thanks, feels awesome to be here!

BTW, I'm on Xbox One and I am part of DestinyGAF NA East 8 but I don't really see a way to play with other members or even interact with them in game...how weird.
 
And I've seen five people stand on a control point and get killed by First of Havoc. Three or more on a point is not "very lucky", it happens multiple times per match.

That team was being a bunch of dumbasses. You shouldn't have that many people on one point. Blade Dancer is super hard to kill even when the players on your team are good because of the speed and the actual animations. As someone else said, there isn't much you can do at times.
 
as a hunter, titan and warlock supers piss me off

The clan system ingame is a fucking joke, it barely exist.
 
Level 26 hunter. Looking for a game. Hit me up if you want to play. I'll do whatever you're doing. I got my legendary helm today so I'm straight chillin. Mission accomplished.

PS4 PSN: GKW212
 
Got an exotic sniper! The Nightfall Strike"The Nexus" is probably the easiest yet.

Man I got the same bullshit scout rifle for this weeks and last weeks nightfall. Rather upset after all that effort.
 
So what's the point of leveling up the Cryptarch? I have him at level 15 and I haven't noticed any difference in the way he decrypts items for at least half a dozen levels now. I'd at least expect him to stop selling common and uncommon engrams to me.
 
These Queen's Revenge missions are dumb as hell. They don't even indicate which they are, so you do not know which regular bounties to buy. Two of them gave me the same Queen's Guard chest armor that isn't as good as what I already have, and on the third mission I had to stop, because the regular enemies are immune to the only ammo I have left (why have checkpoints that don't give you your other ammo back?). This is going to go down as the ultimate "Activision game" when it turns out all of the interesting stuff you should have been able to do after level 26 is in the DLC. :-\

It seems like the only point is to get that delivery of random stuff from the post master each level.

Seen multiple people do that and I've done it a few times.

I've done that before with the vortex grenade, which does clear it for a bit(at the cost of my life, lol), but they can still use it as a shield from the outside. Kinda depends on the map and placement though. I don't think I've ever actually gotten kills from people dumb enough to stay inside after that.

For the possibility that he *might* give you a couple of legendaries as a thank you?
 
Alright, how do I stop the Nova Bomb or First of Havoc then? Not be there? At least Bladedancer gives you a chance.

How often does the Bladedancer super get more than one kill compared to nova bomb and Fist of Havoc? Hell, Nova bomb is actually pretty easy to dodge with high accel lift or double jump. Unless you're playing control the majority of the time either of these abilities go off, they'll get one kill.
 
Trying to level up defender in the crucible. Come kill me if you need your 25 Titan kills. Not feeling defender skills at all. Miss my shoulder charge and fist of havoc.
 
haha have you never been killed by a shotgun with arc blade active?

Nope. I can't recall having been killed by opponents with arc blade active. Might have fallen on the Venus map though.

Granted, I'm sure if everyone were to fully concentrate fire with shotguns/rockets it would be a different story, but even against avalanche teams that have focused on me I've been unstoppable during arc blade.

With that subclass now fully upgraded with kills=healing, I don't see that changing as far as shotguns are concerned.

I still think Gunslinger is better than Bladedancer. Bladedancer is only superior if you can get 4 or more kills off it, since 3 kills with Golden Gun is pretty much guaranteed.

I enjoy them equally, though on the higher level stuff in PvE it looks like Gunslinger is a stronger class. I just found that I've had better opportunities with Bladedancer in PvP due to the maps that I'm frequently rotated in.
 
Inside the bubble? Like go inside? Myself?

Yeah, nice try, I see where you're heading with this.

Lol, I'm pretty certain that none of the AOE grenades would actually do enough damage to cancel out the shields regen anyway, it rebuilds so fast that a bladedancer needs a good few hits to get through the shields.
 
not sure if the thing everyone was going on about to get shards has been patched or if matchmaking in the queens wrath is currently having issues.

I was just disconnected from a friends game a bunch of times, yet could play a PVP game without issue.

Just a heads up to you.

I am now very nearly 27 and ready to get this raid done,
so I can move on and play a different game for a while.
 
Also tested the titan's exotic gauntlets today which give a boost to your melee shield as a defender.

5 seconds.

the shield gains a small 5 second boost over the default 15 seconds.

RUBBISH, sticking with my Xur bought striker helmet thanks.

I want the chest that gives another grenade before I spend shards upgrading those arms.
 
So my fucker of a friend just told me about the Achlyophage Symbiote helmet for the Hunter.

I didn't even know such a thing existed and now I want it. Since I keep switching between bladedancer and gunslinger my exotic helmet from Xur is only good for the bladedancer.

Eh I will get that shit.
 
Well done bungie you have successfully managed to get ppl to play your same shitty missions over and over for a chance at a legendary , I guess this is how they are planning to do there 10 yr plan , each week trickle out a small amount of armours and weapons and make everyone replay the same shit over and over .

Fuck this shit , I don't have time to level up yet another faction in a limited time slot for a few legendary items .

Oh who am I kidding I want a purple dammit !!!!!!!!!!!

But I do hope this is not how they plan on extending its life , get cracking on new missions and strikes ppl.

Actually, there is no shield regen boost in the bubble. You just get your overshield back instantly when you go in and out of it. Of course, you'd have to be an idiot to go inside a titan bubble as any class, though Control and Salvage force the issue. As it stands, Titan bubble is an idiot trap capable of stopping bladedancers outside of control and salvage.
 
I've got a couple questions hopefully someone can answer.

1) When you create a new character, do you have to play the story again to unlock all of the planets? If so, when you reach the level required but do not have the planets unlocked, will certain vanguard strikes be locked out?

2) Someone earlier posted a video of a Sparrow strafing left and right, is this an upgrade you need to buy?

Thanks!
 
Man, that is some first world problems right there. Wow. I mean... really? Some people (me) haven't even done the nightfall once yet

So? Get on your ass and do it. It's a challenge and you should be rewarded as such. Getting the same reward two weeks in a row is a joke.
 
Sunsinger + fireborne ability. I am the Pheonix who will rise from those salty ashes, I can't believe its even allowed, I think I'm sticking with this super...
 
Oh I was talking about spiking AOE grenades in bubbles, not on Hunters.

Oh.

Well then more onto that topic I'm not too familiar with Titan Supers but I know I saw a Titan do one ontop of a bubble and I think it went through and killed everyone. Is that a thing or am I crazy?
 
I think the Titan shield would make more sense in PvP if the titan had to hold that animation with the extended arms out as if they're holding the shield, so they aren't actually capable of singlehandedly going to a point and just controlling it themselves. It's a teambased skill that has ridiculous solo benefit in something like control.

I don't think it should be like that in PvE of course.

Oh.

Yeah, they can do the smash super into it and do that. But they're basically the only class capable of it.

1. Yes, and no when you hit a certain level you can use the vanguard playlist and go wherever.

2. Basically the higher rarities of sparrows get cool things. The initial Sparrow can't airbrake while the green one can and so on and so forth.
