Is it too much to ask for skill based matchmaking and a winners/losers bracket for Trials, so the "Git Gud" crowd can kill each other for a bit and stop pounding their chests constantly at 4-0 curb stomp matches against noobs?
Wait, we deserve this dammit, WTF Bungie, get ur shit together!
I tried, I'm just not good at being too entitled

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Yes asking for Loot which is RNG on top of RNG is being listed as entitled
We want everything handed to us, no questions asked
Shit I should boot up Destiny 2 and 10 Exotic Engrams should be given to me for giving my time to this game
"I'm a privileged member!"
Most are putting in time and effort into IB
The return of investment feels like shit, when Dupes become the main focal point
If you opened 10 Packages and got x4 FR, that's fucking wasted time earning those Tokens to get Loot.
I get if your on your 35th or 45th package, Dupes will come
Yet people in here who got 10 in not have 1 Armor Piece to show for it
That's the fucking problems
No match end drops, so no satisfaction there
No Ranking up said IB Ranks for Loot it purchase selective items, which would quell most of the frustration
No we are not entitled, you need to get to know how to use that word properly
I'm sitting on at the moment 469 IB Tokens, haven't spent one yet.
(252 being from Daily Challenges on all 3 Guardians and Rep Bundle so far)
That's 23 Rank Packages worth so far.
I'll burn them after Monday Challenges completed and see my Tally and grab most likely the Titan Set, hopefully if RNG is in my favor

Yes. Sales of Destiny 2 aren't good enough to have more entitled fans than other games. The numbers don't add up.

So using an Origin's Story to power up Uriel's Gift may have been a dumb idea?

I'm not sure how players discussing disappointment in not getting a particular piece of gear to drop after a certain amount of play-time/chances is considered entitlement but whatever.
If that is what this entitlement/cycle talk is about then...fuck off, I guess?

It wasn't a great idea if you like Origin Story. Time to farm for another one!

It was a 298
I've been using Uriel's Gift for 2 weeks, it's so good and then I hear that Origin Story is the best gun in the game?
I'll just keep using my Mida for Kinetic

Nah, play what you want to play. People are weird at times with how devoted they are to certain weapons.

The only reason it took months is because of how gear was cycled.
I understand. The new system is still faster even if it relies on RNG. One of the few places where RNG still exists in the franchise.
MythicReclaimer
Member
Yeah, and the new Iron Banner offers a completely different Token system in how you acquire gear/weapons.
Comparing what it used to be (in how long it took) and what it is now is pointless.
In 24 IB engrams I've gotten 6 PR, 3 SA, and 3 AR as well as other duplicates. I'm still looking and for leg armor to drop, that OK with you?
Umm, RNG exists at every vendor in the game.
There are a bunch of fun guns right now. Origin story, uriels, mida, scathlocke, the number, whatever...
Is it ok for me to offer my opinion of entitlement?

Apparently, even if it doesn't quite relate.

They had a very unique look in the RoI timeframe. It's definitely disappointing that they're just re-skins here early on in Destiny 2.

Got the IB Auto Rifle. "Oh. It's just Origin Story."

I asked for more grind, and I'm glad we've got it. Control is fun enough on its own; I'm glad that I have the goal of getting the full IB set on my Titan as the cherry on top.
...That said, it would be nice if I didn't get five bloody chest pieces and no other armor this week

Is there a gaf clan I can join on xb1?
You can't go wrong with either and neither 1 is all that much better than the other.
Origin Story is the better PvE weapon and Uriel's is the better PvP weapon imo. Though Origin Story + Last Hope or Last Dance is really fun to play with in PvP.
Try this thread.

You guys have made me not even want to try IB haha
It can be frustrating but the lust for the loot has got me going, slogging through it sometimes. When you hit those kickass matches though, it feels good. Oh so good.
Give it a shot.

Thx. That would be two of us. Just one more for a NF. PSN lunlunqq.

Retails down 50% but digital isn't counted, and if anyone else is trending like my friends, there are FAR more digital versions this time round sold (100% of my 5 man crew are digital this time round, all retail last time waiting in lines..).

Completed Nightfall with 5:03 remaining, but it didn't count towards Rat King. How's that possible?

Join up to the discord if you havent, we have an LFG Xbox channel on there. I know some people were running the raid a few hours ago but I dont see anything else scheduled tonight.
Discord link is in the OP, quote to view and find the discord.gg link.
I heard it's the worst exotics in D2.

Sounds good. One more for NF on PS4, any takers?

If you are talking RNG/loot your experience could be completely different which is the nature of it. If talking about just the PvP experience it seems Ok if you like the Control gametype, better in group play and hit-or-miss if not in a group.
In either case I would encourage you to give it a go no matter the type of player you are.
Not even worth the time it takes to dismantle.

Fighting Lion is probably the worst weapon in the game. If its not in your collection though might as well buy one just in case its buffed later.
Most Grenade Launchers in general though are very underwhelming however if you happen to find a "Play of the Game" grenade launcher (normally from crucible tokens or the weekly) KEEP IT. Its got proximity detonation and its pretty great I really dig mine.

Hey does anyone know what I specifically need to do to get a character to transfer over from D1 to D2? After playing through alot of D2, I went back to D1 since I never played anything outside of the Base game and Dark Below and also wanted to try a Titan out since I usually play warlock. I read that I just needed to beat Black Garden and be level 20, but even after having done that and then going into Destiny 2 I don't see my Titan there.

Get a Infinity Pro 4PS Scuf controller if you can. My god, my efficiency has gone up 1000%, almost feels like pay to win. So much fun jumping around and looking at the enemies confused on where you are. Shooting them knowing they dont have a chance. Needs some adjusting but after that... carnage. And also good for staying alive, aiming etc... best purchase ever.
MythicReclaimer

Yeah, I'm basically applying it to all IB gear/weapons. Iron Wolf it's called, I believe.
I'm pretty sure that isn't possible. They had a cutoff before launch on when characters could be transferred.
Edit: From their FAQ
⋙Will account or character data from after August 1, 2017 be migrated to Destiny 2?
No. Only qualifying Characters that exist at the time of the Account and Character Migration on August 1, 2017 will have their data imported into Destiny 2. Any game accomplishments or qualifying content completion that occurs after that date will not be reflected in Destiny 2.
