Really enjoyed running Skolas w/ you & Soss last night. Knew we only need one or two more attempts. Fight is actually fun now! So disappointed that I had to bail.

Ahh ok, I had no idea. Thanks Deku!
Yeah sorry you had to quit at Skolas. Sucks that there is no CP after playing for so long. It was a lot of fun playing with you too.

you know what, im totally cool with that. If HoW has taught me anything, is I dont know what I really want and to not trust myself. The ascension has really taken the bite out of the game. There is really nothing worth grinding for, no carrot so to speak. nothing to get excited about. As much as we complained about the RNG system. it was exciting to finally get that loot. Hell, over the past several days Ive seen many (FINALLY GHORN) posts that barely got any attention. It used to be an event. Loot just isnt that exciting anymore.
Getting to max level is far to easy and now its just:
"well Veriks didnt have the peice I needed, just need to wait a week"
Why Run Skolas for elemental primaries when:
"Ill Just ascend my old ones, there better anyway"
Im also sitting on unleveled gear that I dont feel like doing bouties to upgrade. becuase it will just get leveled in time becuase of the low EXP requirements now. I used to pass guns around to all characters to level them doing bounties. now I just dont care.
The good news is I dont have to spend as much time doing this stuff anymore and it frees up time to do the activites I want to do.
I got everything I ever wanted from this expansion and I dont like what I thought I wanted.
The expansion was great at getting something for everyone thuogh. ToO for the hardcore PVP players and PoE for us PVE players
Still love running NFs and POE's with everyone though!
STILL HAVE TO KILL SKOLAS!
That's really nice of you! Thanks
Isn't that for day 2? What day of e3 is it lol.
2.

So, thinking about TTK plot so far with what we have seen. Oryx, a god, is coming to earth with an armada that the guardians can't possibly hope to fight. In fact, none of our ships have guns...at all. The only people that have weapons on ships are all enemies. Saying that, how am I supposed to believe that earth isn't going to get smoked by Oryx's fleet even if we kill a god! There are only 2 things I can think of and one of them would be most excellent if it happened.
1. We are essentially going in spartan style to destroy and entire fleet with a very small team. This doesn't jive with me still because there are still hundreds of other warships that could ice us/earth.
2. The nine finally step in and make an appearance. I think this expansion would be the best time to show them in the destiny universe. We are literally fighting the god of the hive, so what can we counter with but the nine who are essentially the god weapons of mankind at this point. I also imagine there will have to be some very unique relic type weapon to fight Oryx as I imagine bullets aloke won't fell him. I think the nine helping out with the entire thing would be ballin' as hell.
I also believe the nine would fit in well because let's assume we kill Oryx, and lets assume all the taken snap out of it. I don't think they will magically be chummy with us and peace out. Also, there still has to be some base army that isn't made of taken that is loyal to orxy. So we still need help there.
I realize bungie doesn't give a wet fart about the story. But there are good opportunities here imo to change that.

Just allowing us to use the existing slots for anything would do me.
E3 officially opens on Tuesday, making today day 2.
Bungie could get over everything fitting on the screen at once.
Here's how you solve the vault like Pokemon. Box 1, Box 2, Box 3, etc.
Gotta collect them all.

Can't wait to hear Deej call Titans Hunters at the same spot again lofl
Great idea! That sounds like a good alternative to just extending the Vault (which they don't want to do/ can't because of last gen limitations). Give us three vaults that load separately.

Reddit's weekly reset thread always has the stats and items.
People have been deleting and re-installing it
Thx guys : ) Let's hope the logout trick works.
I'll hop online more often now.
Sucks. Hope the former clear up nice and quick.

Anyone for a nightfall?
Thanks Hawk. Me too.
Wasnt that bad at all. Wiped at the boss a few times but that was it.
Hnnnng. I need it.
I haven't forgotten about this but I'm having trouble finding a decent Nightstalker image that is different enough from the two avatars I've already made.

I like this. We technically have guns on our ships, but just haven't fired them.
Also, the Vex has a giant fleet of ships that's never been explained. And the Cabal have decent anti-air capabilities. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EcMdxwNXKY
So much potential... hopefully we look back in 10 years and just see this as a slow start to a long revelation. Or something.

Sunds like hes giving the "PR answer" as well as Bungies very own "thoughts on the matter". Doesnt sound like they go hand in hand does it?
They dont want us to keep our old stuff becuase they want us to pay more money for the new ones. JUST BUSINESS is all.

Thanks, man, but I don't do reddit. Hate that place with a passion. lol
Making the maximum amount of Intellect / Disc / Strength 20 total per item makes a lot of sense if that is what they go with as 5 wearable armor pieces adds to 100, so each point should directly equate to the percentage increase for cool downs, or am I wrong?
Changing the Attack values to Light effectiveness for weapons seems also to make more sense. We will see what they finalize with though, the E3 build is probably already a few months old.

Makes too much sense. They'll do something different.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Question: I'm pre-ordering the next Destiny game as it comes with all the content and haven't bought the DLC packs, but can I sell my current Destiny copy once I get Destiny DLC Retail Edition? Or is my profile tied to the vanilla edition?
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.
I understand Deej is only a spokesperson, but I think he's doing a bad job at it. His tone is more often than not a bit off, and he had quite a few outbursts of condescending posts. I don't resent him for anything, but I don't find him very likeable, which is quite a problem from a CM...
lol all you have to do is click a link and the info is there

It's the principle, dude! The principle! lol
Absolutely. When a guy was asking him about skipping cutscenes after he heard he could from another Bungie employee, he said "Then why are you asking me?!" in a condescending way.

This is such a stupid simple idea, I wonder why it hasn't been suggested before. If they're not going to give us more space in the vault because last-gen is hamstringing current-gen, then just add a separate second vault.
Or! just remove the categories. I have all my armor on my characters. But every time I play I battle the 24 items limit of "General".

I heard that exact bit and didn't take it as condescending at all. More like self effacing. He knew he knew less than the guy he asked before.

Do they have guns? They aren't very prominent @_@. Still though, we have so few ships that are in actual fighting shape, and no guardians who are good at space combat because it isn't in the game yet!
I, too, hope I can look back on destiny several years down the road and wipe my brow in relief at all that could have gone wrong.
Still need another?
