Destiny |OT20| HoW Comes, No Raid?

He deleted his account. So it's like it never happened.
He fucked off when people asked for evidence.
How about paying commendations for levels
Seriously though, there's no real need to make someone go through all that levelling / story for alts. there should be a multiple stage bounty like the Eris Urn, something that takes a few hours to complete and lets you learn the new skills but you end up at lvl 20 by the end of it.
So ... /clickbait huh?
O well. Still hoping for that Exotic Arc Rocket Launcher someday. Fire and rockets split up, attack themself to your enemies and zaps the shit out of them. Wolfpack v2.0
Who am I kidding, that will never happen.
Has there been any decent "digging / data mining" since the patch dropped? The big one I mean? Curious to see if they found anything new.

Around here, ranting is only allowed on the days that end in -y.
but... wait...
We've seen the "Reef" appear in a video-documentation 2 years ago. 2-fucking-years ago.
I have a hunch that Destiny was never ment to be released on X360 or PS3. Makes you wonder (if they made the choice to release on XBONE/PS4 only) if Europa, Old Chicago, the Reef, Neptune and Jupiter were playable locations from the start.
The Comet Expansion is the one thing I'm really looking forward too. If the content they add is as big as DLC1 and DLC2 combined I might just quit Destiny. This game really needs a BIG content boost.
/end rant
Back to "work"
Yeah for two seconds with no commentary about it. two whole seconds!
I hope they are documenting the whole development process of this game. It will be an interesting read/view.

Gotcha. I've kept mine mainly because I have room and certainly don't need to scavenge anything for materials. Still need gloves for 2 characters, and I need a full set for my recently created Hunter. Love the way that gear looks, especially the Warlock setup. Just my style of space-y coolness.
Those were great two seconds buddy!
Makes you wonder why they hold it back for 2 years though.

Don't you have that the other way round? The game was being developed for the PS360 long before the next gen consoles were announced, unless Bungie were planning on only releasing it for PC or something.

Awesome, congrats! I haven't fired up BB for a while now but definitely getting the hankering to dive back into some of the really high level randomized Chalice dungeons.
Sadly I wish there was more encouragement in-game to start exploring them early, seems like most me (myself included) waited until after their main game playthrough. Anything at Depths 1-3 is going to be very trivial and they can start to feel samey or boring but stick with them and there's some great stuff deeper down imo.
Huzzah! Congrats Rob!
Not really. Megamanexe from reddit, the most trusted of the dataminers, says a lot of the stuff they were able to extract before has been patched and is much more difficult to see. Since the patch, he's stopped making threads about hidden content.
2 other users have continued on reddit, u/asatehspider1 and u/emozio666. Spider correctly predicted TLW at Xur last week and the nightfall this week (though he was wrong about burns) (we'll see about next week where he says it's

Spider pulled a bunch of info about HoW but has since deleted it. Not sure if it's because it's BS or because someone made him. It doesn't appear he deleted his account though... still says he will post proof. He claims the data he pulled on HoW was placeholder.

I'd pay 10 bucks to have a fully leveled titan with all subclasses haha.
Running HM Crota last night with an LFGERS group was like the ultimate endurance test. Smooth going until Crota, then spent 2-3 hours trying to down him. First hour spent on finding a lag-free connection followed by a great run where our swordbearer mistimed the enrage, then a few promising runs wasted as the 2nd Ogre kites towards a lvl 31 that wanted to hang back in the crystal room. We lost a teammate who needed to get up early for work as we kept playing into the wee hours, too stubborn to accept defeat.
Finally we put together the perfect run. As I saw the Crux of Crota blaze onto my screen I let out an exclamation of relief. The final drop I needed from HM finally mine, I knew I would never have to run HM again. Thank God.

You can actually pay people to do this for you, might cost more then $10 though.
I'm hoping for a 500 page anthology of all of DeeJ's weekly updates myself. Would put Hemingway to shame.
$10 is as high as I would go lol.

gorgon chest was putting out last night. someone got a hawkmoon out of it as well.
Thank you sir!
I'll level a titan for you to 20 if you want to do the Invective and Thorn Bounties for me.
20 is the easy part

when do i start
$10 for 10-20 hours of power leveling... so fifty cents to $1 per hour is the most you would pay for power leveling?
These folks charge more than that.
That's actually a tempting proposition... both sub-classes?
On Xbone haha
I have an answer to that, but won't say here ;P
Isn't this though why most people still play, because they play with friends, clanmates, etc? Maybe I don't get it because I didn't know a ton about the game prior to the alpha and I'm not a huge Halo fan, with lofty expectations. I played the alpha and beta, enjoyed them both and pre-ordered the game after playing through those. I wasn't so worried about "story" as a fun game, and I got that.
I guess my point is if someone spends 100's of hours in a game, and still feels like they are owed more, then why did they spend all that time in the first place? That's what I can't wrap my head around.

last night was quite the night for exotics:
Had them all unfortunately, but damn what a haul in a couple of hours. Also got The Chance from a NF (bad roll, sharded) and a 2nd Black Hammer from CE which I will happily keep for my Hunter.
Also interesting that in 2 of the 3 Nightfalls that I was a part of, everyone got an exotic drop.
- Patience and Time from CE
- Skull of Dire Ahamkara from NF
- Armamentarium from NF

what was the bounty where we went into rumble and killed each other?
i think it was one of the queen's bounties for hand cannon kills
that's all you have to do for thorn. it's not exactly the most riveting way to complete it, but it doesn't take too long.
i have an xbox one
everybody's hustling

Yeah but it's the most boring.
Nope, just to level 20
Can't be. All my characters are 32 and I have 2800 grimoire, I rarely hold the flag. Even then, I actually have decent stats as well, in crucible
Ah so a secret Xboner appears! Can you do all sub-classes lol?
We'll have to haggle later.

sure lemme just buy destiny on xbox one, buy xbox live, and find time to grind a brand new character
Goooood lord. I wouldn't level a new class and max both subclasses for anything less than $1000.00. Getting to 20 is terrible enough, but maxing both subclasses???? You crazy.

Destiny is the only game I'v ever spent over 300hrs playing.
I'm sure there's others that have easy eclipsed that. But damn that's a lot. v_v

I don't get the outrage over Reef screenshots from 2013. How is this news to anyone? For casual players, ok, I guess I can see why this is surprising, but I have higher expectations from more serious players who follow a game. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that TDB and HoW content was lurking in the original game files or was in a near complete stage prior to release. We have had those discussions since day 1 when the game released and certain areas we could glitch into from the Alpha/Beta didn't make the final cut. Its like they are just making any excuse to whine again.

Funny enough I hated Halo Reach, yet that was my most played Halo game.

That's my main issue: it seems very clear that we won't understand each other well when trying to communicate. Nothing wrong with that, different people can and will feel differently but I don't see much upside in pretending otherwise (i.e. trying to convince people to feel differently).
Makes a lot of sense. Honestly that's why I don't bother posting there, I fully realize my experiences with Destiny are out of the norm, so to speak. So many people want raid MM because they don't have 6 people to play with, whereas I'm super bummed about PoE primarily because it's only 3-man (for now anyway) and I have waaaay too many people I want to play with...
I guess our reset raids can still be groups of 6 but a lot more "2 teams of 3 ala NFall and WHS." Even with more incentive to run VoG, which is great, it's just not the same.
I noticed hydruxxo was banned recently, but have no idea if it was Destiny related at all.
Some posters in the Gaming thread really like the game but I've never seen them post here. Hopefully more Gaffers feel welcome to come hang out and chat about all the things we love and hate without it degenerating into Us vs. Them, Fanboys vs. Haters.
Destiny is by far my most played game of all time and also one of my favorite games, period. But at the same time I'm probably the most outspoken Scrota critic on NeoGaf. Destiny has such extreme highs and lows but that nuance is hard to talk about when people are expected to take extreme positions, "for us or against us" kinda thing.

i hated it and played it a bunch too. actually broke the disc twice because of how frustrating it was.
and then when i picked up MCC last year i realized i was a reach kid all along.

Pretty funny they didn't reply to that guy looking for the Thorn bounty, who was also the only person who replied at all.
Really looking forward to HoW reveal today, especially upgrades. I hope we don't have to complete PoE to be able to upgrade our weapons.

the only games that come close to touching my hours played number in Destiny are Skyrim and Mass Effect 3 (only because i replayed and replayed to see what happened when i made different choices)

After playing Halo 2 again from MCC. I realized it sucks. And it was only nostalgia keeping it in favor.
Also Hawkmoon sucks, but looks amazing.
I mean I assume another might be front and center on your icon...
I myself logged over 999+ hours playing Pokémon X apparently according to the game same file.
