if you have a 0-1 or 0-2 card and you're starting with a new group you can just scrap it, for example.

Or if you just don't want to start with a loss or two, we usually keep playing with one loss but with an 0-2 start we delete it and go buy a new one to start fresh.

Yeah, no need to farm them because they will only reward the mediocre queen's weapons.

Just have 3 keys each week so you can open 1 chest per character and get the exotic.

You and me both, amigo.

We get slightly tense about things.

We'll get what we want and then complain that we have nothing left to do. I'm (if I can endure, cue the Rocky music) going to try to play a little Skirmish each week with Fig to up my game (of which I have precious little).

Instant gratification syndrome isn't helped by all these Mercury pictures. I know. I'm with you.

Ran into a team with the Flawless emblems...they just killed themselves repeatedly.

They said they've been helping people try to get to 9-0 most of the day. It's pretty cool to see how people are really being helpful overall in Trials. A couple of guys just playing spoiler but far more helpful groups out there at this point.

Ugh I'm going into a new week with ZERO treasure keys.

Fuckkkk

I wasted so much time with ToO I should have been getting keys instead.

So far I have very few complaints about House of Wolves. Overall I am very pleased with it even though they managed to stretch such little content very well. The Treasure Key aspect of ToO is fine for a grinding/reward mechanic, but I think Keys may be a bit too rare. Farming chests is not fun when you are essentially camping out in a patrol spot for a little action every 10mins and then having a very rare chance at a new key.

There should be a guaranteed key for every Rank up of Queens Rep. This will also encourage people to do more of the bounties instead of just a few farm spots.

Add me to the list. Whats the best run you guys had? Ran with TearsofBlood and EJRobinson this morning and did well after a few warmup matches. Went 8-2 after starting 1-2. I should be going to bed but I really wanna get at least 5 wins on my Hunter and Titan.

Anyone, how's The Chosen sniper rifle for PvP? Just rolled my once and landed on Hidden Hand (better target acquisition), Hand Laid Stock (nearly doubles stability), and Unflinching. Also has Ambush and Shortgaze scopes.

I'm not sure if the hidden hand perk is very good for PvP, it could help if there's only one target, but if someone runs across you line of sight, the reticle will try to follow them and might make you miss everyone (happens too often to me). Otherwise, if you can get the ambush scope, the chosen can be a pretty good one IMO.

I'm very torn on HoW.

My worst fears came true and all the best loot is in PvP. The story missions were better and the strike was fun. PoE is repetitive and boring, the loot is awful and the drop rate for elemental primaries is a mystery.

Progression has been made so easy there is no satisfaction to it. Most new gear is outshined by OG Destiny gear once ascended.

Ugh. I don't know. Comet better be good.

Hmmmm, didn't think of that. Testing will be necessary, but I've never been one to use a sniper in PvP. ToO is gonna get me to change that. It does have both Ambush and Shortgaze. Zoba seems to feel Shortgaze is the better of the two.

Idk, PoE is kind of fun in the way that MMO raids are fun to me. You know the fight and then you execute.

Though hopefully they have more permutations and objectives because you can only tackle mines and VIPs so many ways.

The encounters were boring. Nothing even close to the satisfaction of a Raid. Not to mention the crappy loot makes it even less satisfying.

Even though I'm not as good of a PvP player as I once was in the Halo 2 days, ToO has brought that kind of PvP excitement to me again. It's not fun getting wrecked by a solid team of 3 but everything else is pretty dang fun. Sniping is crucial and I will get Her Benevolence one of these days

Best loot is in pvp, yes. But that loot is also FOR pvp. Most ToO weapons have pvp perks. If you don't pvp, then that loot is irrelevant for you.

That said, the pve is super disappointing. It's always the same with Bungie, one step back and one step forward.

At least the progression changes and weapons re rolling will keep players interested.
