2nd week in a row my Raid keys have disappeared from my inventory...
Is there a way to prevent this?

I cant find a third
think everyone is on that Iron Banner train right now and it is about dinner time for me. Thanks and Ill send you a message if I see you on and find us a third sometime soon.Might as well squeeze in a quick run. Can't mic and might be called off suddenly conditions apply.
A couple of people were asking for help with NF/Prestige. I may be running a bunch of them this weekend. Not sure how many before that. Still have to be confident with my Warlock/Titan run times. Hunter was always going to be my slowest and that's done.

I've cleared that encounter ~half dozen times and still get lost. Thanks for the map!
If you are still looking send me an invite on PSN. Same as GAF.

Congrats on getting married to Ghost Primus!, I'm guessing 15th time was the charm
Kadey Primus has a nice ring to it!
I'll be around, so come pick me up on your wagon
I'll bring Sunkist

I raided after reset both times, the people I raid with have their keys.
No, it's happened to multiple people in our group too. Finish the raid and then go back in to do chests and suddenly keys gone. No changing characters or anything.

Don't you remember that giant write up about how their P2P hybrid servers will deliver the best possible game experience?

Its incredible how incompetent people still are at control. This merry-go-round of bullshit is maddening. Cap two. Defend. Win. Move on.

Whatever you do, don't go to orbit. Take the paths through Leviathan and get the chests before boss. That's what we did this week and clan member who kept losing hers finally got to open chests and join the disappointment the rest of us have thanks to the glorious rewards.
Did you create a new character after starting the raid?

The matchmaking seems non-existent to me beyond best connection. Playing solo Crucible is just about the least fun thing in gaming right now.
Play of the Game is pretty good. Proximity grenades really help.

The best thing I can say about solo play in Crucible is that it has made me a much better player, rather than getting comfortable with a team that can likely carry me. It's not uncommon now for me to break 3.0 or 4.0 efficiency with respectable objective contribution, rather than often barely breaking 1.0 and focusing entirely on objectives to have my impact.

Cheers! By the time we usually call a run it's late enough already, but yeah I think this is what I'll have to do until it's fixed. :/

Nah, I have other characters, but I haven't used them around raid nights.
It's somehow became my favourite PvP weapon. I love the thing, even if it's definitely got some massive flaws (don't use at close or very long ranges). But it's so good at just locking down certain areas and you can throw a elemental weapon to make up for 1 of it's flaws.
It's just fun to use to as it's pretty different to everything else.
Also, 2 of them together is actually disgustingly good.

What is factored into gaining your team points now in control? In Destiny 1 it was just capturing and holding that point and the points went up the longer you held it (I think thats how it worked anyway). How do you get points now in D2's control? It seems like kills are getting points along with capturing. Ive been in a bunch of games where we are for sure getting the control points more often than the other team but they are still winning.
Also, I cant stand playing control on that map with the jump point between A and B. Not the one with the jump boosts. If you control C and B on that map you can just carry the rest of the game and camp B or inbetween B and C. Its gotta be the only unbalanced map ive seen so far.
Got 3 more ID packages today and still not a single piece of the new IB themed armor. Kinda discourages me from continuing.
This.
I really wonder the mindset of some people in the game, I see them running around and not capping free points. What game mode do they think it is?

They want kills because they is awesome. They are the ones that usually grab the power ammo and get killed before using it too.

HA. When it's obvious that your team has no idea what they are doing, I have found that continuing. Capping points and keeping zone advantage is the only way to keep your team in the game.

I don't get it either. It's scary how bad so many people are at a very basic concept.

How is Prestige with the 300 rec on a 292-293 character?
Go for it, you'll be fine this week.

I'll give Crucible one thing. The network connections are better than D1. I still get shot around corners constantly and there are definitely a few games where people lag a bit, but not anywhere on the level of or as consistently as it happened in D1.
Also I find the Emperor map is pretty unbalanced for control. A side is way too close to B and it's entirely too easy to hold B down from that spawn.
The rules changed for D2. Now you get more points for kills based on how many points you're holding. Capping a point also gives you 1 point.

I would like to do it with you tonight if you are doing a run or two
A bunch of people yelled to go back to CoD style connection based matchmaking

In D1 there were score ticks while holding points AND score modifiers for kills. So if you held points longer, you were getting higher ticks and getting modified kill points. It was still entirely possible to lose while holding 2 points the majority of the game if your team kept running off and dying to opponents enough.
In D2 they removed the point ticks but it still has score mulitpliers on kill. They did this to simplify the score totals. So even if you're trading points and holding points longer, you still need to get more kills than the opponents overall throughout the game. You can be up by 20, 30, or more points early on and if the opposing team goes on a killing tear, it's possible for them to catch up.
A well timed shift of them going from holding 1 capture point to 2 capture points and then a streak of kills can take them from behind to a sizable lead.
Should be doable.
What time is good?
*Duty calls. Will have to postpone my Titan run for a bit.
45min from now? Let me know what works for you.
I'll try, but may be a while.
@ArkkAngel007 If you are on I'll send you an invite. If not I'll try again some time this week. This might be a good week for prestige runs.
Its just you. Ive got no weapons so far, all Armor.
the maps in this game are so bad. there's this one with the cabal jump lift things where zone A and C are on one side and B is on the other side (as in you have to go through the lift thing to catapult you to that side of the map), so bad. so so bad. i hate it so much.
the maps, the fact that its control, no end game iron banner rewards...everything just makes this such a chore. i'm constantly emptying clips at my teammates when i'm capping a zone to signal them to push forward and go protect the other zone because you don't need more that one person capping because unlike Destiny 1 that doesn't make the capping process faster but it seems like people just don't get it. similarly, they don't get that its capture AND HOLD. they just go around the map capping and capping and capping in a never ending musical chair game with the opposing team. shit is soul crushing.
so far i've gotten 2 pulse rifles, 2 fusion rifles, 3 sidearms, 2 hunter gauntlets, 2 titan gauntlets and 1 hunter helmet. rng repeat game serious. i'm gonna try and get one more piece or armor for my titan and i think i'm gonna call it quits

I really hope they patch it so players like you take hours to finish a single raid. I really hope they do.
I would be a noob, added myself to Sunday

It doesn't help that the daily IB challenges want people to cap 5 in one match. That shouldn't be a problem in normal play, but I can see many just trying to knock those out asap.
