Urk said the stats, levels, and light level stuff is all kinds of fubar in their current E3 build, and to ignore it for any sort of "confirmation" of new mechanics.

I can't figure out how the DTR ratings work.
I consider myself an above average player. I have like an 70-80% win rate, and a 1.6 K/D or something.
Yet all my DTR ranks are less than 20. Most of them less than 15.
This is a terrible solution. I'm not going to go and drop 17,500 glimmer on that ship again later on.
Win percentage and total games played absolutely is probably the biggest factor in your True Skill ranking IMO. The more games you play and the more wins you have the higher your TrueSkill. All the players at the top of the ToO are among the people who win the most and have the most games played. Players with 300 games played and 99% win percentages and large K/d's are much lower in the ToO rankings than players with 1000+ games played and 97% win percentages and much lower k/d's.
Also I know you think that there is some hidden skill based matchmaking but I don't believe it at all. Your medals etc have nothing to do with who you get matched with IMO. Matchmaking is just random, or in ToO it is based upon connection, or in the vanilla Elimination mode (when it is around) it is based upon skill as Bungie made it clear.

I get AC for my fiancee, she loves the series and CoD is a must have for me. Just mindless shooting.
Smart idea holding off on MGS5 if you will be away. Moment tTK drop I know I will be obsessed with it, if I haven't beaten MGS5 by then I probably won't beat it until Christmas.
I'm glad I have the Best Buy gamer club stuff, I'll basically get enough credit to buy a $60 game for free.

Medals, no.
But Bungie created a "combat skill rating" for a reason. I mean, I guess it could be a placebo, but that seems very odd.

Yes. I have this appeal to finish by the end of the day, but I wanna go home and play destiny. Can you do my job for me while I go have fun and play video games? K, tks, by.
It's a mysterious ranking that's for sure. You might want to look for players in your DTR range and compare your stats. Like, check what the difference is between you and a DTR 20 player is. I suspect total played games is a heavy part of the weighing. Some people really play several hours of PvP a day and have done so since launch. Your K/D and win% are certainly above average. It might be a case of total games? Just speculating here.

That didn't show which is better...
There is no way to tell which plataform has the best players.
If you asked me that yesterday kkkk
Add NFS, game looks great.
Probably won't be possible at all to bring current legendaries to TTK levels. We'll see.
What makes you say that? I didn't hear anyone say anything to indicate anything like that either way.
That would suck. Don't make the same mistake again, Bungie!

Did NFS get a release date? Yo the driving trailer looked crazy. I don't think my eyes could keep up. Are there anymore gameplay footage?

Even that seems weird though:
Games #1994 Top 2% #16602 1344
I'm in the top 2% for games played.
I don't know. I'm not trying to argue with you or anything about it. I'm just having a hard time finding the logic. Which I guess is a good thing because if I could see it, so could other people, and then it would just be exploited and min/maxed to death.
Yes it does, according to dtr's own metrics. It does not mean one is better than the other, just that Xboners rank higher on that particular measurement system.
Heh nope

Yup. This is some horse shit, Bungie. Come on.
Can we just have a Digital Collector's Edition that is ONLY the Expansion and bonus stuff? Why do we have to re-buy the game and DLC 1&2, makes no sense at all.

That's the one. We were talking about knights earlier and it stuck with me I guess. Thanks.
Extremely poor wording from me. There has been no indication for anything of the sort.
I meant I don't think we'll be able to carry Legendaries over. The Year 1 terminology of Etheric Light seems like a hint for that. Also, with the radical changes coming in - base level increase, new weapon classes, new perks, class items giving perks, artifacts, elemental defense buffs on armor - it really seems like things are changing enough for us to wave the old goodbye. Like I'll never dismantle Fatebringer but I don't expect it to reach Year 2 attack or light or whatever it ends up being.

Etheric light makes the Distinction of "Year 1" legendaries. And DeeJ's comments about not being married to your guns.
That said, I think they under-estimated how attached we can get to certain guns. And now they've already given us a taste for upgrading gear, it'll be heard to take it away.
I wonder if they'll do by Year. All Year 1 Legendaries can be kept at max level for Year 1 (as is now). All Year 2 Legendaries can be kept at max level throughout Year 2.

Oh I know Luke is. I was talking about maybe the guy who mentioned NeoGAF is a Gaffer, as well. I got to play with Luke once and that was really awesome. Great guy
stealth edit: rofl! I didn't see that post of his. Awesome!
Good to know it wasn't just me. I'm working from home and wanted to knock a few bounties out this morning without any luck.

Mine is 171 str with Pulse rifle ammo... :/ I guess I have to play Trials with my Titan and my Hunter this week.
Percentile is not enough information. We don't know what the variance here is. Like maybe gamers in the 1% have played 10x more games than their close cousins the 2%ers. I don't know, just throwing stuff out there but I have a strong suspicion it's a total games thing. Check out some other guys and compare. If you figure out some trend or pattern let us know too

What do you mean with remixing old strikes?

I wouldn't take anything I see from screenshots as Production screenshots.
With that being said, I also HATE THORN. NERF PLZ.

IGN stream. Don't know if Deej was being poetic or literal but he said old strikes would be remixed to fit the new changes in the game world. Lord knows what that means, could be Hive ships in the skybox or modified enemy spawns, no telling without further info.

You played with Luke?! Can I touch your hands?
Its my fault. Finished up a weekly VoG run last night, got my 2nd Gjallarhorn as a final reward and then the game booted everyone.

Yesterday was crazy. Played Crota's End for the first time and then did Prison of Elders 35 for the first time. The former was a lot of fun. I particularly liked the bridge part and all the coordination that involved. Got Black Hammer out of it too and I didn't even know how awesome it was! The latter was kinda brutal. We wiped several times on the way to the boss and it made me want to give up several times, but we pushed on to Skolas. We struggled with him. On our third try we managed an unbelievable rally as we moved as a group around the perimeter of the map, passing the rebuff around and picking off adds until we could hit the boss undisturbed. Got him to about 25% health and then we tripped up. One friend got caught out, one tripped on the geometry, and I got overwhelmed as the last guardian standing. Hurt pretty hard. We lost our momentum, our groove, and our confidence. Tried a couple more times but couldn't get past 50% of his health again. Spent 3 and a half ours on him, it was late, so we called it quits and went to orbit defeated. I know they recently tweaked the Skolas fight so I don't know if there's a clear cut strategy anymore, but I'd certainly appreciate you guys' advice!
