Ok, I probably would have picked up on it when the cut content was all the rage. Everything is in a lull now.

I rarely think DLC is worth it, so the only thing that I really have to compare is the one that I bought because it was a lot of content. It was $5 and basically doubled the game:

Made by a studio that is 35 employees:

I know that Destiny is much more complex, and I suspect that now that they have a better handle on where they want the franchise to go, they will be able to step things up.
That's the 2000th time a Heavy weapons engram turned into The fuckin Cure !
Ah well atleast this one has void and tracking, but only one rocket !!
This is how the rocket launcher situation is in this game, except for three Rocket Launcher every single one is shit (yes even Dragon's Breath because of its slow speed and no tracking, but it can be argued that Dragon's Breath has a different kind of purpose unlike the other three i.e. Ballerhorn, HoC and Truth).
The reason why they are shit is because tracking is pretty much essential and you can never really get a launcher with tracking and more than 1 magazine size. The Radegast Fury can have field scout and tracking but it's purely based on RNG.

Deej's idea of meaty is to give us a heaping pile of tofu.

I have Crota HM checkpoint if you want that.Anyone got any Crota raid checkpoints i can grab, our groups raid attendence sucks tonightPS4
PSN: Hellgast
Of course this is my opinion and it varies for everyone
. I just dont feel the backward strike maps, 2-3 ish backwards missions are not worth the price. The only thing that felt really new was the short raid, and ~35% of the missions. The whole raid feels lazily designed. I do like the bridge encounter but after that..mehh. The Dark Souls DLC Artois of the abyss, GTA DLC, RDR Undead Nightmare had great DLC for the price.It seems like Dragon's Breath could have been a great choice for Crota to stop his shields from regenerating, but the lack of tracking and velocity makes it horrible to use there

Awesome, the RNG can be the difference in getting to level 32 in a little over 1 week or close to 2 months.
Seems like various Bungie folk have been dropping hints.

three weeks for the last thread. destiny is dead.
Hints like what? Like the "that is only one of Crotas forms hint"?

So we should expect a big HoW info dump?

I feel like I'll still be chasing it when HOW comes out, and it will still be the best weapon then.

I agree on Rocket Launchers. I once rolled a Void Exodus Plan, which had 2 shells, tracking and clown cartridge. It was RNG and a good launcher but it had mediocre Blast Radius. I always felt I a bit lacking because of this. I later got Truth which was good, but not a vast improvement in PvE. Hezen was okay, but had no tracking.
Then I got _that_ weapon. And it was basically that, or Hezen when I needed an exotic elsewhere. Didn't get HoC until last Feb or so. Which yet again, is Solar.
There isn't much choice in the RL class. Bungie dropped the ball on Dragon's Breath. Its again Solar and it has way too shitty velocity to be considered usable. Low velocity + no tracking is avoid.

More like always talking about how they won't make disappointing decisions. They are working on their communication, I think.
I don't think this month.

finally got god of war shader after cryptarch rank 76 (combined 3 characters)
something that matches my new monarchy mark cuz i can't get a damn shader from them

Love the thread title - makes me want to break out of the map with some distant hope of finding some locked away developer area they left in where all the plot and Gjallys are stashed. Stagger into some dark tunnel and every three feet you get a 20 minutes cutscene explaining what the fuck is going on and an exotic drop you've never had before
So I have a Badger with AP rounds. Is that useful? It also has explosive, which are much more effective in PvE so far. I haven't managed to note any effectiveness trying to follow enemies behind cover. Are they only useful on snipers?
and then your character wakes up, level 7, strapped to a table in Dr. Rahool's laboratory while his twisted engram-stained fingers work furiously, tweaking tiny finicky things inside your head until everything dissolves back into black. The word "weasel" echoes distantly...

It's a beautiful shader, got it a few weeks back myself. Looks kind of silly with the dead orbit cloak so I dont really wear it :/ I guess I should probably give up on ever getting bittersteel or revanent eh?
Had this happen too many times to count, it's lag :/ Always the lag...

Edit: I mean you can use bungie.net too, but that's faster. I believe it's linked in the OP of every OT here.
Edit again: just punch in your gamertag and once it loads up click to the weekly tabs.

Starting 2nd Daily if anyone cares. They get lonely these days.
AP is only useful on snipers. And after the nerf, not what they used to be. Explosive rounds don't affect your crit damage at all but it boosts your body shot damage by over 33% if I recall correctly, as well as doing some tiny AoE damage to nearby enemies. It's a great perk to have on a scout.

Seriously... Had him down to enrage 3 times tonight and each time I've struck him and started to back off he's been up instantly.
That's the vibe I've been getting. Haven't taken it into PvP yet, but I figured I ought to be able to hit a dreg behind a thin chunk of wall and I couldn't so I won't be counting on it. It's a shame.
And yeah I know about explosive rounds - they feel great for anything tier 1 though. I won't be using them in PvP.

Crota NM, want to start as soon as possible. Need 3. My buddy on my friends list is doing it with us.

Don't see you online...
Congrats on making an OT Todd. Where's Kor though? Did he bow out of OT making or was he just MIA when we hit post cap?
Also, good job on the title. BAFTA was nice and would've been the best if we still burnt through OTs in a week like we used to. Since this OT will maybe last a long ass time, the joke would make a little less sense halfway through
Also, I feel the urge to use this GIF:

Yeah he has been doing that almost every single time I did Crota HM over the past few days. I wonder if Bungie has a switch that they flip on for "working as intended mode"..
