Destiny |OT15| What Cheese May Come

xur finally pulling through for once. gonna buy the lock helm, and two more icebreakers so i don't have to switch

i would buy the titan helm but i like saint14 better, cause my bubble lasts a good minute already.
 
Ice Breaker is not that useful anymore. I use a Black Hammer or LDR myself and I have two Ice Breakers.
For people that have everything, ice breaker might not be that useful. for everyone else, icebreaker is still the best.

do you have gjallarhorn?
Yes- Get icebreaker but not really use it
No- Get ice breaker, get it now x 3

DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY ADVICE AGAINST GETTING ICE BREAKER YOU WILL REGRET IT
 
I know you Black Hammer - Godhorn folks are all the rage, but I am really looking forward to some casual ROC strikes with my Obsidian Mind + Bad JuJu. This will be fun.

All I wanted was a third Icebreaker for my third character. Still don't have Gjallahorn, but I don't care any more ah ah ah.

I can rest in peace.

3x Obsidian mind bought too

Would be happy for Icebreaker if I didn't get two in the last three weeks or so.

I pretty much have all I want now. Only thing left is for hard raid weapons.

Aaargh! What to do, what to do!
Buy obsidian.
I can guarantee you you won't regret it.
Been using it with a 100% int build, and even without bad juju (was waiting for the upgrade to put XP into my empty 300 one) I'm already chaining supers like a madman.
It is really awesome, and FUN.
 
I still need flawless too. Maybe later.

Sounds good, I'm definitely down to help. The image of Dhruv plummeting into the VoG abyss keeps me up at night, plus he needs a SFW clan name...

Thread will be Xur-distracted for a while, I'll be back later to see about getting a group going.
 
So I'm not the biggest player of destiny but have been enjoying it with my friends recently but fuck xur. Last week my Titan friend got an exotic helm and this week is a hunter friend did but for the second week in a row I'm boned for not buying the dlc. Now my friends are both higher levels because xur hates warlocks without the dlc.

It was pretty good before but the DLC brought out a bunch more higher impact snipers with better stability. It's pretty rubbish outside of the regenerating ammo.

Yep, the iron banner sniper with field scout is my favorite general purpose snipe. Black Hammer for bosses and Ice Breaker sits in my banK so I can use ballerhorn.

I can help out for Flawless CE: Dhruv Edition this weekend if still needed :)

Glad everyone can get ice breaker now :)


Sobs. Weeps. Is overjoyed.

FINALLY MY DAY HAS ARRIVED!!!

I would have preferred for her to drop for me a la Gjallarhorn but I. Am. Not. Complaining.

Bought that and Obsidian Mind.

So. Glad.

:)

Back to sleep.....

Bungie "hates" players without the DLC. It makes me laugh when people still debate the supposed randomness of Xur after his first "buy the DLC!" selection of wares a few weeks ago.

If you wanna iron banner i could play some then go back to bed....lol

If you can get a group going now definitely do it and I'll be back on a little later, otherwise you can rest up for some true domination later today/tonight.

Even though I do not have a slot for another character, Ill stack that obsidian mind just in case they release more slots and I can make a warlock. That bad juju + obsidian mind combo seems fun to play with.

And buy icebreaker even if you have BH, P&T etc... free secondary ammo over time is amazing on many mission. Plus as mentioned before 6 IB shots = 10+ on any other sniper.

Do you plan to play the DLC at all? If so, cobble together the $20 and do it now. No reason to wait.

If not, then that sucks. It is unfortunate how so many things are locked behind the dlc.

Yes that is foolery IB to me is only 2nd to Ghorn BH is only good for certain enemies unless your a automatic headshot specialist.

Damn. Guess I'll have to do the weeklies this week anyway. Good Xur week. Xur is definitely a lot better if you expect him to carry shit every week and once in a while he pleasantly surprises you.

Also the Gjallarhorn hope is still alive lol.

I think I will keep my existing 300 dmg Icebreaker and wait for an upgrade and buy an Obsidian mind instead. Im low in coins. Had 60 last week now only 10. :D

I shouldnt have delete my 2nd Hunter to make a Titan. But now I will have all three.

Thanks for the advice earlier everyone! Already hit Light level 25, whooped ass in a Level 24 Strike as well. Tried out the Level 26 version of the daily heroic story mission and it said I was supposed to get some Engram and other things, but I seem to have gotten nothing. I died like 3 times, would this be the reason I didn't get anything?

Dying during a daily doesn't affect the rewards you get. You likely got a blue engram or two, maybe it showed up at the post master if your inventory for that type (e.g. primary weapons) was full.

What's all this about Ice Breaker and regenerating ammo? I don't see that perk...

It's a default perk, on the far left of the weapon screen. Not one of the perks you have to unlock with XP
 
If anybody is short on coins and needs help completing a higher tier weekly to buy something this week. I will be willing to help out. I'm sure others will too.

It's not an unlockable perk as it has already been unlocked. Look at the left side of the upgrade tree.
Yeah, don't listen anyone who calls IB "rubbish" lol. Even without the regenerating ammo It's still the best Crowd Control Sniper with the Firefly like perk (don't even need headshot) and will always stay relevant unlike those legendaries.
Agreed, I have the Black Hammer since its first week and it's really only useful against bosses who have (a) easy to hit critical spot(s)
The legendaries? Well, they'll become obsolete on PvE someday while the IB still reigns supreme, and I like my infite ammo.
 
I agree with the "IceB is still awesome" camp. It's still a top tier exotic to me even if there are other excellent Legendary sniper options.

Buy three. Seriously.

What if I don't have a 3rd alt?

Very tempting though. Even though I don't have a Titan, I have been collecting gear and would be able to have a fairly high level Titan out of the gate.

3x IB + Obsidan Mind is 64 coins. It will break the bank sitting at 75, but I don't know.

Did that make you feel inadequate or something? Your post wasn't up to snuff?

IceB is awesome but not "more weapons than characters" awesome, haha.

Never know what he'll sell later, unless of course you have a huge stack of coins. I spent all mine last week on heavy synth, I've got 6 left now after buying the two helms.

haha something like that, only when my top of the page post is something kinda "throwaway"
