Destiny |OT13| How the Grind Stole Christmas

To stop you from progressing too fast. They want to keep you playing daily. Which honestly is something I will never understand. I would make sense to me if the game had a paid sub not so much without it.

People that are worried about rank 4 will already be playing everyday...4 thousand is overkill. Sucks I set an arbritrary goal of getting to 32 before the New Years and now I am feeling the pressure. I'm thinking of way to idle in the tower and just go to sleep. Wake up, do bounties and then reset.

Feasible?

Fine. Had all my friends over to exchange gifts since most of us are traveling early in the morning to spend Christmas Day with family. My girlfriend had arrived with her twin brother and both were wearing identical sweaters knitted by their grandmother. Party lasts for several hours. By the time the party was nearing to its end, I was intoxicated. I'm looking for my girlfriend since I'm drunk and wanted something else for Christmas. I found "her" talking to several of our friends. I came behind "her" and wrapped my arms around "her" frame.

"Hmm, you looking real nice babe. Wanna go somewhere a bit more private? Santa still got one more gift left for you to unwrap."

After I said that, I nibble on "her" ear. I hear snickering coming from those around. I look up and see Kat, my GF, trying her best not to laugh along with my friends. My drunken mind took a while to process that I was holding on to her brother. By the time I had released her brother, everyone was laughing.

....merry christmas everybody! :D

I haven't had much time for the new raid until now. I only briefly joined raid sessions few times but never got to Crota until today. But I have been lucky with the few drops I got, I had raid chest, gloves, and legs before seeing Crota for the first time. Just need to upgrade my exotic helmet now.

Also if anyone is up for doing Nightfall in 1 - 2 hours on X1, my gamertag is Ont9.

This is even better than the one about the guy who forgot to turn off his mic.

You'll get kicked out of the tower for afk'ing but you should be good in terms of going to the tower do the bounties then reset afterwards.

Although i should disclaimer that I don't know for 100% sure if you have to be in the tower during reset or just logged in.

He will only sell the Gjallarhorn upgrade.

The rich get richer and the peasants get shit and all will be right in the world. How it should be.

Thanks. What glitches are ppl experiencing?

I've noticed this the last few times we've gone up against him. sometimes he'll just start teleporting without having his shield ever taken down by the relic super and while doing that, give out detain bubbles unpredictably.

Nah dude. The rich are those who already have the upgraded Gjallarhorns. Those who have yet to and will be are mere pretenders to the rich! =P

Gaf, I really need a good post-expansion legendary hand cannon. Should I continue gaining vanguard and crucible rep hoping for something cool or should I level New Monarchy past 3 hoping to get a Red Hand? (That being the best base vendor hand cannon). Actually, I've only ranked Monarchy and FWC to 3. Do you get postmaster packages for each level you rep up beyond that?

And while it's nothing great, I will buy the 1969 as a holdover when I get the marks again. I had purchased B-Line Trauma at last opportunity since it looked like a solid legendary primary and then I got the Iron banner one later that evening that I prefer so I kind of screwed myself on that deal.

I believe you have to be in the tower before the reset. I had the menu open when it refresh, don't know if that matters or not. Do the bounties and turn them in before you log out. You should be able to re do them next time you log back in.
Edit: noting for Christmas

Being logged in would be enough however even when idling in Orbit you get kicked back to the press A start screen after 30 minutes so that wouldn't work.

Have you ever idled before or the reset time isn't too crazy for you?

I am thinking of leaning my controller so one stick is pushed in. I wish I could stay up and do it normally, but 4 AM is just too crazy.
