I got my 3rd Icebreaker this week from Atheon. Suck my tentacle, Xur. Not even a fucking Sniper telemetry.
I chuckled.I can't do this. Not today rawr. I have work to do.
Black Hammer is a beast, but it doesn't have infinite ammos, nor does it provide infinite ammos for all of your other special weapons.Really? As far as I can tell there are just two uses for the ice breaker right now. Sniping oracles on hard VoG and cheesing heavy ammo for Crota. In every other situation black hammer is gonna be more useful. Has more impact too.
All I want now is David Cross to be the voice of my Ghost. :-(
Every strike involves hiding in a hole/room/ledge and cheesing the boss from a distance. Fine when there's a burn, but if there isn't, then having infinite ammo saves you from burning through synths.Really? As far as I can tell there are just two uses for the ice breaker right now.

best decision I made was buying three, almost have all three leveled up now
Works great with Destiny. I use it to play in the bedroom. Would like to have one for work, if I could get away with it.Hmmm Playstation TV going on sale on amazon shortly.... supposed to be a great deal. I don't know much about it really, but everyone says get it... it works with destiny.
Decisions decisions.....

Xur didn't have heavy ammo for the 3rd week in a row. Nor sure how much longer I can last. My supply is dangerous ly low and Bungie still hasnt fixed the bug.
Yeah it's not a Fire TV or Roku competitor, even though Netflix reps hinted that we'd get Netflix for it eventually. There's literally no reason that Netflix doesn't just work on it automatically in the first place, except for maybe resolution concerns.I picked one up on a whim, and promptly returned it. It's called Playstation TV, but it doesn't have any TV apps. And, you can't even stream Netflix or Amazon from the PS4 through it. It had a bunch of other weird things like I would have to go to the living room and log on to my account on the PS4 before I could play Destiny on the PSTV upstairs. It also looked like it was tied to my account, and the kids couldn't use it to remote play on their accounts (not sure since I returned it and didn't look too hard for a solution).

Probably why Bungie made Xur sell it again in the first place: if it can't make us play the game, at least they know it can make us talk.We should have another 10 page discussion whether people should only buy one or multiple Icebreakers.
There is no dicussion. Everyone should have at least 14 of them.We should have another 10 page discussion whether people should only buy one or multiple Icebreakers.

You must have had something set up wrong in terms of using your PS4 first. My PS4 can be in standby and I start up remote play on the PS TV and it turns on the PS4 and I can use it normally. Same with Vita remote play.
You are correct that it is one account per PS TV. Your kids would not be able to use it with their accounts without resetting it every time.
It will not come with a Dualshock 4, it won't even come with a Dualshock 3. It's not the bundle that they show, which comes with a DS3 and the Lego Movie video game, but just the vanilla model with nothing else.The only thing is I won't be able to hardwire the PSTV to an internet connection, it will have to be through wireless. However, my PS4 is hardwired.... I'm afraid the input lag and quality will suffer and make it unplayable for me.
Either way, it's rumored to be $40, or $50 with a dualshock 4 so the deal will be great. Just unsure if I will actually be able to enjoy it through wireless....
No.Do you have multiple accounts on your PS4?

So yesterday some of us did a Crota HM kill without a Titan. 4 Hunters/2 Warlocks.
Since I was running the sword, and some of you didn't quite understand what I was doing. Here it is very specifically.
1) Don't attack. It seems that aggro spreads to Crota and the Boomers if you attack anything outside the crystal room. This means you can't attack the Swordbearer.
2) Pop your super around the time people start really laying into the Swordbearer and go invis to run to the sword. Try to time it so that you get to the sword bearer around the time he dies. If he's moved too far to the left or right, let your invis wear off for a moment and then press R2 again before you run out of super. This should let the Swordbearer aggro you and move out to the center more so your team can kill him.
3) Take the sword and jump up to the rocks. Start your countdown and start crouching for stealth at the same time. If you are already stealth from your super, crouch anyway. They work independently from each other, and you can chain stealth from one into the other without popping out.
4) When you shout fire you should already be jumping up to the platform. Being stealth lets you get up there a little early. Don't attack Crota from the sides, but rather from behind. You want to use as much physical cover as you can to ensure the Boomers don't start shooting at you.
5) Run inside crystal room for Orbs between swords. If you don't have a super ready when you need to take the sword, don't worry too much. it isn't vital, just jump down a little later than you normally would.
Xur not selling heavy ammo this week is a perfect indictment of Bungie being completely unable to react to the community in a reasonable amount of time (unless it's something benefitting them like making Queen's Wrath gear not give ascendant mats in the middle of the week). Like ok. I get it. Somehow the code is so wrecked that it's taking 5 months to fix the heavy ammo bug. But in the meantime there are SO many relatively easy options to alleviate the community's frustration about it.
Etc etc. I don't want to hear about how you don't have control of Xur. We KNOW you have control of Xur. He is not some rogue sentient program that you created and left to his own devices to fuck with us every week. In the end, you (Bungie) have the power to make him sell HA Synth, which is something everyone seems to agree is the LEAST you could do at the moment as a mea culpa, and for some reason you refuse to. Why?
- Lower the price of HA Synths (either at Gunsmith or Eris or both)
- Tack them on as a reward to at least one bounty a day
- Tack them on as a guaranteed reward for Dailies
- Tack them on as a reward for doing Public Events
- GUARANTEE XUR SELLS THEM EVERY WEEK

I really feel like Bungie has disdain for the hardcore players and that they only care about getting the most casuals in.Xur not selling heavy ammo this week is a perfect indictment of Bungie being completely unable to react to the community in a reasonable amount of time (unless it's something benefitting them like making Queen's Wrath gear not give ascendant mats in the middle of the week).

Or just disable the Heavy Ammo perk for the time being like they did for Hive Disruptor. Granted it's a bit more complicated than that since it's not a perk that's unique to a single weapon.
Any guesses on what's cooking for Strikes in update 1.1.1?
I'm going to buy 30 of them and shard every single one of them.
don't look for reasons. just play if you want to and don't if you don't.I keep looking for reasons to play this game....and Im not finding answers. Back to learning to speedrun Super Metroid...
A few things:Hawkian and and other GW2 players: how do you feel about this news?
no kidding. bowl me over with a spoon. shame that you're the only person playing destiny for whom this applies.Sounds good. Everyone is so pissed off about Xur all the time (and I understand why) but I'm so far behind in this game that I'm just now buying my first exotic and I'm pretty excited about it.

You know what, that "inherently boring" comment from the developer CE stream really irks me. Being able to camp up on some ledge that probably shouldn't have been reachable in the first place, is not "inherently boring." What is inherently boring is having the same 2 to 3 story missions as the dailies over and over again. What is inherently boring is having to farm glimmer over and over, because Xur never sells syth any more. What is even more boring is doing the exact same bounties (actually we have even less bounties than when Destiny first launched. Some bounties, like kill 3 fallen walkers, have been removed) over and over again. Don't put a arbitrary enemy in an arbitrary place just to save us from something you perceive as, "inherently boring." How about just add 10 new bounties!? Fucking anything to make the game less repetitive.

Yeah, that run went very smoothly even without a titan. I understood what the plan was, but I do have questions. When do your start laying into Crota, what combo do you use, and do you jump/R1 away after the second sword our just run off the edge?
In week two or three Bungie altered Xur's offering on the fly after he was already in town. They have 100% control over him (they removed the one time strange coin you could buy). Is someone hand picking each item every week, no, and that is what they mean by they don't "control" him. Is Xur choosing from a limited pool Bungie sets, with different weight to different items? Can Bungie alter this pool and item weight at any time they please? 100%. Their condescending and patronizing tone is what drives me bonkers.
