He's sold thunderlord before.
I only need Hard light and 4th horseman.

Damn, really? The fuck was I doing?!

Oh well. It gives me something to look forward to.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Yeah, I figured that. There's no other way outside of that? No settings on my end (router etc) that could minimize it?

Nope, it's p2p unfortunately. Destiny's netcode is extremely good though, Bungie did a great job there. When you have a red ping it's better to play defensively.

 

[LiK]

Haha, being down s typically what motivates me to cap a 3rd. If we're running a train, I camp between B and C.

Yep, I don't like sticking to a plan if it's not working.

I'm pretty sure he's never sold thunderlord, which is surprising.

Edit - Yep, he hasn't sold it according to http://www.destinyxur.com/

According to http://www.destinyxur.com/ XUR has not sold the thunderlord before, here's to hoping. It's the only exotic next to hawkmoon that I would really like to have.

Speaking of exotics, I've had SGA and Pocket infinity bounties for weeks now, guess I should finally complete them. I know SGA is kind of a sad exotic, but pocket infinity should be decent enough, no?

Atheon now gives 331 exotic weapons so even better!

We have a Hard Mode Atheon checkpoint, and we will be taking him down 3 times, so please have at least 2 characters and be willing to help with the third run.

The SGA bounty is basically a discounted exotic shard. Do it at least once if you want every exotic, but if you are done with other exotic bounties, always grab SGA. It is stupid quick, especially if Xur is around, and it only costs 1 strange coin. So you are basically buying an exotic shard for 1 strange coin.

[Kor of Memory]

Just realized this coming Monday is a national holiday in the US (MLK Day). That buff on Monday is 150% I believe. It's going to be rather easy hitting rank 5 if I'm not already there by then.

The Lash is mine. Then I have 93 motes all ready to re-roll i until I get Crowd Control and Field Scout. Outlaw would be nice too but it's not necessary.

I'm torn here. I have the day off (woo-hoo state job!) but I was planning on spending the 3 day weekend rearranging the basement/man-cave. And by rearranging, I mean running conduit, cat-5, and coax through the ceiling.

Going to try and knock it out today, I'm at the part where I need to kill 500 enemies. I assume "WE'VE AWOKEN THE HIVE" with corrective measure shouldn't take more than 20-30min to complete....

 

[Acorn]

I've got all the exotic weapons aside from universal remote and necrochasm.

Crazy luck for the last few weeks, dunno if there is even any exotic armour I want. Maybe the shoulder charge boots i guess.

Oh and fate of all fools whenever that happens.

Unless its the weekend I am only on after 8pm EST daily. I miss running with you guys all day! Great paid holidays those were....

 

[Deku Tree]

So does "Spray and play" stack as a perk with "Flared Maxwell"?
Or do you not notice the additional reload speed from "Flared Maxwell" when "Spray and play" is already running?

Trying to decide if I should use "explosive rounds" on my new hand cannon that I got from NF...

it's a good choice of weaponry, if i recall correctly you get 3 points for a precision kill and 1 point for a normal kill. aim for the head ^^

Spray and Play is 50% faster boost to base reload. Flared Maxwell is upping your based reload. I'd say with Spray and Play, Flared Maxwell is overkill. But part of me thinks that your reload can never be fast enough .

That sounds like a pretty necessary thing you need to do... maybe an hour of that, hour of IB... keep repeating until your man cave is done and you have a Lash.

 

[zewone]

I'm waiting for Xur tomorrow before spending any Motes in case he's selling an engram.

I'm going to be super tempted to spends my motes if it's a helmet engram, even though I should save them for Timur's Lash.

I'll do Lash first and burn whatever I have left on helmet engrams.

Inevitable topic in gaming is gonna be... well... you know...

1. Destiny was supposed to be this big, imaginative game that tickled our sense of exploration and ushered in a new era of “shared world” shooters. The early artwork and discussion of the game’s lore promised a space opera that would easily challenge Bungie’s previous series, Halo.

But what we got was an entirely different game.

Great shooting and tight multiplayer hardly make up for the endless grind, bizarre loot schemes and post-campaign leveling chore, not to mention the terrible, empty story. Playing the same missions over and over again, and racing over the same terrain time after time, make Destiny about as repetitive a game as you can find.

There’s no denying the skill of Bungie’s feedback loop voodoo here. It just isn’t the sort of imaginative, space opera experience we hoped it would be. This is the shell of the game we first heard about when it was announced, and Bungie has only made matters worse with expensive, soulless DLC that mucks with level caps and makes an already grindy experience even more so.

There are many things that work in Destiny, and it is an addictive experience, but it’s still such a huge letdown from the game so many of us imagined. The type of game that doesn’t just rehash the same areas over and over again. The kind of game with a decent script.

Well, he is mostly right, that's the sad part ah ah ah.

I'd argue that this part, though...

There are many things that work in Destiny, and it is an addictive experience, but it’s still such a huge letdown from the game so many of us imagined.

... is pretty poor.
Even when you factor in Activision's marketing and "hype", you can't resent a game from not being what you *imagined* it would be. That fault's on you.
But then again, I never followed the Destiny hype prior to its release: I'm usually not a FPS player, didn't want to get the game at first, but was drawn into it by the alpha and beta. Went blind until it released, so that's probably why I can hardly feel "disappointed" by what we got. I can agree with a lot its flaws, though.

 

[purg3]

Anyone running VoG on Xbox one todoay/tonight? Need to get a few runs in if possible.

 

[rNilla]

For Eidolon Ally you can do The Wakening, go to where the first Shrieker is, kill it and then just sit there and wait as endless waves of Exploding Thrall appear. They will still count if they die from exploding damage. No need to wipe over and over.

 

[Acorn]

There is a spot on chamber of the night that constantly spawns thrall until you move forward iirc

Edit whoops yeah the wakening like the guy above said

That list is so dumb: Ignoring the Destiny topic, Dark Souls 2 and Titanfall are amazing games. In fact Titanfall is one of the best shooters released in recent times.

Titnfall breaks as matching making puts you into higher levels. It eventually becomes just people using cloak and the smart pistol. Which is whatever but since it's a multiplayer only game it illustrates that balancing the powers and weapons seemed to stop at some point early on at respawn. I honestly feel like Destiny is the better shooter on all fronts this year if you are willing to ignore it's lack of content that doesn't support it's loot grind nature. also this guy must be new concept art is always going to be way more grand than the actual game.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Not necessary at all. In fact, TeaParty thinks I'm doing it just because I get bored with furniture layouts sometimes. There is nothing wrong with my basement setup, right now. I just don't like how it is split up.

Basically, I have the TV section on one half of the room with a nice big sectional couch and surround sound. Then on the other half of the basement is our computer desks and desktops.

I'll be honest, part of the reason I'm looking into this arrangement is because I want to be able to sit at my computer desk, while being able to see the TV at the same time. >.>
