Completed the Invective bounty today. Surprisingly easy. Probably could have finished it in one sitting had I completely focused on it last night. This thing is ridiculous in PVP. I'm betting this is one of the exotics Bungie was going on about that they are gonna nerf in the future because it's just too NASTY.

I've slapped the fuck out of charging bladedancers, poor sunsingers buffed out, or gunslingers mid charge. Let alone the vanilla guys that try to fight you with their peon shotties. I'm already one shell away from emptying my clip by the time they are chambering their second. I love this thing.

Besides Invective, I'm about to hit the hard cap for Crucible marks. I'm in a bit of a crummy place because while I'm trying to get raid worthy, I know Xur is gonna show up in a few hours with who knows what. I don't want to waste Crucible marks on some gauntlets or something if I'm just gonna replace it with whatever Xur has tomorrow. Should I just suck it up and let a few marks go unearned while I hold out for Xur? I need some boots/gauntles to have full legendary, anyone have any suggestions for the best armor for that? I'm a Titan who runs striker in PVP and Defender in PVE btw.

Just because someone works hard they shouldn't be criticized for their work?

Who said anything about criticizing? The poster in question said they should be shamed. Will shaming these people make you feel better? Regardless of how they feel about their work, which they might agree with you on, do you feel they should shamed?

Criticize the work, not the people.

the more people i see with invectives the more i welcome the shotgun nerf haha


it was a bad analogy
sry lol
Click to expand...

Yes, because it is a valid analogy. To make a math example of it, I'm saying 2X + 3Y = Z
So if X = 2 and Y= 3, Z = 13. I also say that if X = 200 and Y = 300, then Z = 1300. And you're getting upset that I'm making a comparison of relationship between two extremely different magnitude of numbers. But that doesn't matter, all that matters is the relationship. I'm defending logical representations of argument.

The whole point is that this:

X is bad, Y is worse

X must be done or else Y must be done

Because X is bad, don't do X

Therefore, Y must be done

is terrible logic. It doesn't matter what X or Y are. As long as it is true that Y is worse than X, then this logic leads to bad results because it is illogical thinking.

Man I am really hating this game right now. Because these caps are at 200 (2 weeks of playing without spending?) I'll soon be at this point where both are maxed out but because I chose a faction cape partway through the game I can't spend any of the points. Fuuuuck yooooou bungie.
Click to expand...
I'm going to assume that's a design decision made so that you "lose" progress even when grinding faction rep, because if you could keep earning marks after the max hard cap, even if you can't spend it yet, you'll be able to buy legendary gear and deconstruct it for mats by the time you do get to rank 2/3.

At least, given how Bungie has designed the rest of the game, I wouldn't be surprised if that was their thinking.

Hey Woofington and Jarmel. Let's just go back to watching anime. At least we have no expectations there whatsoever. lol
 
If their intention was making me and my friend almost laugh into a coma at the ending, then job well done.

Then they should do something to make it fucking fun. Do you think I enjoy running in circles for hours to make progress? No

But thats the only fucking way to do it. It was their idea to make levels only increase when you upgrade gear.
 
Admiral Woofington said:
WoW took WAAAAAAAAAAAY longer to reach higher levels. Destiny took like a week for most to reach 24.
Click to expand...

I think you're missing my point. I'm not referring to the time it takes to level. Just the whole "carrot on a stick" type of player progression. The leveling systems between the two games aren't even comparable really. Destiny's levels don't really mean anything until you get to the light levels which is almost the same thing as gearscore in WoW.

I know that you're a fan of Star Trek and well, I personally hope that Orci is shamed by what happened with Star Trek Into Darkness so that the third movie won't be about Kirk traveling back in time to save whales from the Borg.

The people are responsible for the work. If a chef cooks a steak well done when you want it medium rare, you blame the chef, not the piece of meat.

This last raid boss is ducking bullshit. Oh my god...

It really isn't too bad, hardest part is just coming up with a strategy that works with your group and seeing what roles work best for everyone. We struggled like hell for hours and couldn't get past it last week, this week it only took us a few quick tries and he went down far before he enraged. Just keep at it, and you'll get it :) What levels/(sub)classes does your group have?

I'll feel better if they put out an actual narrative next time. The best thing about the ME3 ending was the fans didn't accept the bullshit and complained to high heaven. I bet you Walters to going to try a shitload harder for ME4.

Really, dude? Ashamed of what? Ashamed that sometimes the writing process gets affected by outside forces?

You're being ridiculous, and you're being really unfair to the writers of Destiny, one of which I know.
Click to expand...

The writing in Destiny is garbage I'm sorry. If you know one of the writiers thats a bummer but they released the game and should be prepared for criticism.

I play the game with a clan of over 15 people every day and none of them know anything about the plot. Hell I don't even understand what's happening in the game.

When you've put 40 hours into a game and you don't even actually know what your enemies are there's a huge problem.

I'll go back to AnimeGAF regularly after this weekend most likely. Do the raid, new shows start this weekend, space dandy ends, have to write a review on it. Also this new season has better shows than summer.

Shadows of Mordor will keep me entertained but it shouldn't be as time consuming as Destiny.
 
I want a legendary or exotic hand cannon: (

Most satisfying head shots I ever seen and I only got a level 20 rare. <3 expanded magazine.

Only kind of sucks against Phalanx.

you're "supposed to" hop on your sparrow and loop around the planet doing patrol beacons while you farm. but if you already maxed out rep and completed the bounties, the beacons are pointless. so you're "supposed to" wait till the next day to farm "efficiently".
 
Question, I have been farming the Queen strikes solo, and when I complete them I just exit. Do I lose anything by doing this? I hate sitting through the story again and again.

God, Titan is so shitty in PvP compared to Hunter and Warlock. Pretty much regretting ever rolling this class.

Titan is great in Control, since everyone gathers around the cap points and they have that ground pound thing that can take out all the guys at once.

Yeah, after this new patch and the news (??) that they are nerfing the chest runs, I'd rather suffer through bad anime because at least I can scrub past the crap. lol
 
We have a party of four level 29's and one level 30. We're looking for one more level 29 to join us for hard mode raid. Please help us!

I haven't seen anything about that other than one poster asking if that was done (presumably because his chest run didn't pan out so well?). I think we need to wait/test a bit before running with that.

Bunch of randoms using whatever. We've been doing it for hours. We know how to do it but people just keep getting killed when they teleport.

They specifically said range and damage.

At least Scout Rifles are getting a buff.
Click to expand...

They said and/or

Today the Auto Rifle is too effective at long range, even beating Scout and Pulse Rifles in some circumstances. Expect stability and/or damage adjustments to the Auto Rifle to address this in the weeks ahead.

Which means they haven't settled on the best course of action for the change just yet.
