no such thing
If you don't enjoy it then what do you care anyway? :p

"Increased Precision damage. Kills briefly increase damage against next target."

Sounds like it's got pretty serious potential, though primarily in PvE I guess.

The main appeal will be the ability to build around having it as a primary.
inc cod quickscopers
I think Zoba has proven that quickscoping isn't out of the realm of possibility in Destiny as is o_o and you could run two snipers with this...
 
Got all three of my Titans with:

- Vanguard rep less than 100 away from next level
- a total of five Cryptarch packages waiting in the mail
- lots of bounties ready to turn in
- one legendary engram in the bank (boots
- one Invective bounty ready to turn in to complete it
- a few exotic shards
- max glimmer

I'm ready!

Did you see the gameplay? The scope jumps all over when getting shot at.

We saw NLB in the strike and now in Crucible. It has no utility whatsoever right now.
Yeah I saw it. The iron sights are obnoxious as fuck.
But I'm just hoping. I'm also not one to judge a weapon without putting in my own time. I remember when everyone was shitting on Thorn and Super Good Advice and I found both guns to be immediately amazing after upgrading them.

No Land Beyond is looking godawful though.

Will there be an update on our end as well or just in game? I assumed we had already downloaded all the data needed for the expansion it just needs to be unlocked.

Yeah but that's a team of guys totally locked in with their jumps. Even the first few times we did it somebody's jump was all screwed up, someone didn't crouch, lol.

But imagine newbies. OK guys, just follow. Just run. You'll be fine.

:)
Awwwww but like showing newbies my way and making fun of them when they get spotted :D

So I snapped and bought the season pass today.

I know that I am part of the problem, I can only hope that the raids are incredible.

Anyone else playing on Xbone taking the plunge?

I'm really close to jumping on it too.

When does the DLC unlock tonight?
 
I'm sure this Pantheon gameplay has been posted...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCmNmQ3cNao

But wow. New Exotic sniper is horrible. Not even one-shot kill in PvP to the body.

At first I read your post and thought, "Why would it be one shot...kinda weird to complain about...no snipers are one shot in this game."

After watching that gameplay though...yikes. I can't imagine anything redeeming about that gun. Takes up an exotic slot. Takes up a primary slot. And it has a slower kill time than just a regular sniper. Not sure what is going on there, or maybe I misunderstand its utility somehow.

Edit: I'm talking about PvP, by the way. I can see potential for PvE.

So, after weeks and weeks of raiding hard/normal and no Warlock gloves, last night, on my last VoG raid before the expansion, I get not one, but two glove drops back to back.

This game, I tell you... lol.

Yep bought it yesterday add me if you like to do some weeklies/raids: bevo0845
 
The nightfall and weekly might be the DLC strike (the non-PS exclusive one.) Has anyone considered that? Yes, it's a lockout, but why shouldn't they do that to encourage adoption?

I know this sounds terrible, but does anyone else think that the problem with this DLC is that there's only one Raid?

Bungie can't lock off the only raid to the elite players because people who buy the DLC do deserve access to what they paid for, but at the same time it means the biggest, most exciting part of the DLC is going to be finished in a day, meaning that players have to look for other things to do. Things like grinding up their already maxed exotics in preparation for...a slightly harder version of the Raid they already did?

I dunno, just feels like this DLC isn't going to have that exciting thing to work towards that the release version did - but maybe the hard raid will cover that. I guess it just depends how different they make it.

Ran hard mode on my hunter last week, needing only chest to hit 30. Got boots and gloves. Troll'd.
 
I hate dlc region locking.

Even though I have the digital guardian edition, I can't access the expansion because now I have a different region game disc (I'm away from home).

Next gen :(

I'm all in. I have a level 29 Titan that I'm hoping to get Crota-worthy in short order when the new Vanguard gear hits. Anyone here on XB1 can feel free to add me and invite whenever they see me online. My gamertag is: Ev0lved1

I'm also starting an XB1 specific clan to help with organizing raids, weeklies, PVP etc. The clan name is Evolution Disciples and anyone on DestinyGAF on XB1 can feel free to join.

Oh don't worry, that happened too. when we got down in the tunnel guys were meleeing each other and throwing grenades, ahem attracting "attention." And the dude who went on his own got spotted. LOL

We had to do it twice LOL

Thanks for posting. Does this mean new gear is now purchasable?

So it looks like only Vanguard and Crucible get actual new armor that looks different. Not only that, but Crucible is a literal reskin of Vanguard armor, but it's just a different color.

Dead Orbit, etc will get the same armor except it's updated for level 32.

That's pretty lame.

That's terrible, actually. :(
