It's not nearly as cool as the Halo Brute Spiker. WHAT ARE YOU TO SAY NOW????
Imagine if you had to grind to level up that Brute Spiker to make it good?

He can't even say the hard G in Gjallarhorn. Elitist.

Wonder that myself.
I dunno actually, I'll switch to Defender when I'm home and test it out later. I know for sure I was able to shoot in to the shields (reduced damage tho)

Just got the Bad Juju bounty today. Tomorrow I will be able to knock out NF to start it, how long does it take to complete it? Hoping it is fast.
It's one of the longer ones. Worth it though, I love that gun since they buffed it.
Hey you two. I know I am abysmal at ze Pee Vee Pee. I'm living vicariously through my offspring who says: "Daddy is a 3.75 KD good?"

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Hawkmoon this and that. IT DOESN'T SHOOT THORNS.
I agree that people can steal your kills. But there's really nothing better than popping a couple rounds off in PvP, bouncing and letting the DoT slowly tick away until you see the kill message pop up on your screen. I laugh every time.
I laugh much more diabolically when I get killed but get those two shots off just in time so I get a Post-Mortem medal. I literally watch it happen and say, out loud, "tick, tick, tick... BOOM BITCH!"

Probably feels like it trivializes this thing people are supposed to be impressed that he does.
Yeah I know. I was listening to his proposals and thinking this guy is kinda nuts... he wants to make the strikes so hard that Primeguard and InvigorateGaming actually think it's really hard... which is crazy.
No. It's a lower impact/higher fire rate hand cannon and the perks aren't anywhere near as good. It has zen moment for better stability and rapidly landing 3 precision shots gives you 1 back in the magazine.

Damn what are the long parts of it? I'm down for grinding strikes in ROC

While not necessarily because he can't say Gjallarhorn properly, he really does want to turn Destiny in this "elitist" type game where exotics are even rarer and more difficult to get than they already are (says that in another video) and making encounters even more time consuming and/or difficult. I guess he is a bit miffed that people are getting the same stuff as he does with less time invested. He forgets that Destiny is quite a casual game.
Seriously. If you don't condone cheesing, just don't participate in it and just leave it at that. Don't go spouting your self-claimed "superior way of playing" in a 10-minute youtube video lol. Some of the ideas he mentions on how to change entire encounters. They're way too hopeful and downright ridiculous sometimes. Seems he just wants to be a Destiny gameplay tester badly or something.
Exactly. They are playing the wrong game and/or expecting way too much of Destiny. As I said, Bungie clearly intends Destiny as a casual loot-game. The ideas he suggest makes the game unplayable for a huge proportion of the regular player base. Just look at the % of players that even completed one raid, it's really, really low. Why yes, let's make the game even more inaccessible.
25 strikes and 10,000 points in crucible. You get 25 points for kills and assists on Titans or Hunters. 75 for Warlocks.
Completing 25 strikes is one
I think Nightfalls count as 3 and weeklies as 2.
That week (short one! Nexus!) I did Nightfall duty with whoever needed it LOL

In the video description he says he wants Bungie to hire him, so there ya go.

I am about to start the crucible portion of it (10K points). Supposedly, that's the longest part. I'm not in any rush to get the gun though so it can take as long as it wants.
General question: So my titan is all ready to hit 32 with ruin wings. What effect, if any, do Ruin Wings have in PvP? The "more heavy drops" perk doesn't seem to fit with PvP.

Ruin Wings in PvP do exactly what they do in PvE: nothing

it's more time consuming than diffuclt. Bad Juju bountry is doable.
Thorn on the hand is the only one that requires you to recruit a friend or two to help take down shield in the Pits to kill Xyor. Fuck Xyor
One step requires Xur, so be warned. After the NF requirement you have to run 25 strikes. NF counts as 3, so you can run it over and over to get there faster. After that you have to see Xur, see Gunsmith, 10k points in Crucible (don't lose points, just gain from kills), see Gunsmith and you're done. Just be sure to have your 25 strikes done before Xur leaves or it will eat up a bounty for another week.
Edit: You guys are too fast, lol.

Got the Badger CCL from a blue engram. It's pretty damn good. I don't have Vision of Confluence, but this is a nice sub.

Haha practice.

I am trying but I'm not getting any closer to your 30-something kills per game.

Doing the PvP part of Thorn bounty sucks. It's all gonna be worth it, right? RIGHT?
You gotta keep running VoG (probably on hard)! I wish I could give you one of my VoC's...
I got one from NF last week with Firefly on it. It is really nice minus no element damage and semi-slow fire rate.

I like him and some of his other videos, I myself try to stay as cheese free as possible but at the same time, playing destiny is his job (I assume). Father of 3 with a full time job and play late a night, not a ton of people play at that time so soloing Phogoth thru a door crack is my only option at nightfall.

Don't you dare speak like that. The placebo effect is real.

It's probably about as good as you can get for a Legendary Scout outside of VoC. I don't have VoC either and still hope to get one despite it being only a 300 weapon.

I remember trying to shoot out of the bubble shield with Hard Light several weeks ago in PvE. It did not work.

I had more trouble with the Invective bounty than Thorn. Just use a good void fusion rifle and camp near control zones.

What Perks? I too am VoC-less and using a Badger.
Well, to be fair it's the reason I stopped playing.
The vast majority of people use cheats to beat the raid bosses. I'm not interested in that - I respect and understand why they do it, but it's not for me. As a result I haven't been able to do the raid, and as such have decided to sit out this expansion (and maybe permanently) because I won't have the gear for hard mode when it lands.
Seriously though - this issue has come up in every MMO I have ever played. there's always some people arguing that "people should be able to play how they want, why does it bother you". In every other MMO the designers have fixed the cheats and cracked down on the people doing it, but clearly Bungie doesn't care. Will be an interesting experiment to see if it works compared to other games.
EDIT: If they want more people to do their content, then make it easier, more accessible, and have the game support the organisation requirements behind it. Leaving cheats in the game that reduce your £20 expansion to a trivial joke that burps out loot every week doesn't seem a great idea to me instead of actually improving the game.

Right. It's an awesome gun since the buff. Don't listen to the naysayers, the blasphemers. Their uppance will come. Maybe.
But seriously, it's one of the top 3 HCs along with HM and FB.

I watched the video too and I just don't understand why he has a problem with people using cheese methods like hiding in rooms. The Crota disconnecting glitch are way more egregious and I understand having a problem with that.
I would have no problem with actually putting doors behind you when you enter the room with phogoth if the boss mechanics were more interesting but right now they don't amount to more than just shooting continuously at a boss for 20 mins. If people actually had to go into the room to fight phogoth during nightfalls, I doubt that many people will finish it.

Yeah, this is annoying. Having to endure his elitism in order to enjoy the otherwise good content in his videos and tweets played a small but non negligible role in my decision to quit Destiny. If one of the most influential members of the community is such a no-fun-allowed Bungie defender and wants no cheese at all despite the grind, RNG and retarded bullet sponge bosses, he can keep his game. Especially since he's made it very clear that his opinion on cheesing wasn't up for debate and he wouldn't change it under any circumstances.
I'm about to finish the story and I've already completed today's bounties.
What cheats haven't Bungie addressed, outside of the new CE exploits? All the ones in VoG were fixed. Sure, they didn't fix them immediately, but I'm not a software developer - I have no idea how long it takes to fix and test.
I'd use it much more often if it didn't sound like twelve cats having sex in a dumpster.
Where are the younglings at? It's time for Darth Nami to rise.
That was the first Datto video that I ever watched. I didn't realize he was "one of the most influential members of the community".
