This is why I prefer no-name/in-house voice actors. Developers have so much more freedom to just have Bob from accounting who does a pretty decent job, record some new lines for the next DLC pack.
Well if anything we know Commander Zavala & Eris are narrating parts of the story in TTK, so they'll be back at least. As for the rest of the voice actors, who knows.
Lag equals blinking ogre. The worse.Had a couple of pretty laggy games with Drizzay and Grim, before I got baboon'ed and catterpillar'ed at the same time

PvP experts, I have a sniper rifle question for you.
Trying to figure out if I should re-roll my Her Benevolence, or just keep my Y-09 Longbow - it has Shortgaze, Rodeo, Perfect Balance/Field Scout, Final Round. Is Her Benevolence really that good?

Oh god, that dog looks evil.
Since you can't defend yourself yet, maybe Sorsha was tooken? lol
Join us, friend.
Nilla, you know what to do.
That Y-09 is top tier don't worry about it.

It'll be the same type of "quest" as that one HoW Queen's Wrath mission that starts you in the Phogoth boss room now I bet.
I approve of this post.

Destiny|OT25| ITS A TRAP!!! The Taken they're coming run whi(TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED)
I have a Prudence II with Shortgaze and Ambush, Spray and Play, Perfect Balance, and Firefly.
Not the absolute best rolls, but it's still my favorite PvP sniper. I have LGH with all the tier one perks x2 and a couple of Her Benevolences, but Prudence still feels the best to me. That AA.

You're right. It was such a riveting way of story exposition it must have completely slipped my mind.

hahaha this is great. We've all been tooken!
With all that HoW did right, story mission structure wise, the method of narrative in those missions was pretty bad.
The whole voiceovers for everything thing is pretty crap. I hope TK will have actual cinematics. It'd be a nice change of pace.

|OT◇25|Please shoot the Messenger
In honor of that awesome weapon being for sale last week. Everyone should take a chance at using that weapon if they haven't already.
The intros and interruptions were great. But the climax fell a little flat in-game. There was a pretty cool climax in the grimoire, but obviously that's a pretty dumb thing to do.
For those curios:

For those curios:
Skolas basically got mind-fucked by the vex gate tech and was speaking near-gibberish after he was caught. He just kept repeating "Light-Snuffer, Dark-Bringer" over and over again. The queen determined he was useless at this point, and give him to Variks for his usual Trial by Combat system.
No one is immune. JJ can never have too much flare.
Thank you!
I keep harping on it, but Hopscotch Pilgrim with a stability upgrade has max stability, better ADS/handling, more AA, and a bigger magazine (IIRC). And rerollable perks.
Definitely grind Dragon strikes for a couple if you can stomach it.

Do Pulse rifles have a stat for pulse speed?
Like, Red Death has a faster rate of fire than the Messenger, but I personally feel like it takes longer to shoot 1 pulse from Red Death, than it does the Messenger. Number won't be accurate, but something like
Messenger - 0.2 seconds between 1st and 3rd bullet.
Red Death - 0.6 seconds between 1st and 3rd bullet.
I think this is why I cannot stand Red Death, because the pulse time seems to take longer, and thus becomes less accurate.
I'm not sure I've seen mention of it in the spreadsheets that everyone references, but I kinda feel the same thing there. And that's why I like HP and Messenger more than Red Death or Spare Change (the latter has a weird up and to the left recoil pattern that you pretty much need to roll Counterbalance on to make a nice, vertical line of burst--I have two of those with Counterbalance and they were unusable without it, eating a perk slot).
Yeah. I've got Hopscotches with Outlaw, Stability++ (forget the name of the perk), and Reactive Reload, and one with Spray and Play, Stability++, and Headseaker. Both are beasts.
I really want a roll with Third Eye, Stability, and Hidden Hand. That's why I'm grinding for a third. I don't want to lose these rolls.
I have a Spare Change with Third Eye, Stability++, and Counterbalance that is pretty useable too.
Honorable mention: 55A Allfate. It's the slightly lower impact tier and it requires all bullets to land for a two burst kill, but with HH and a stability upgrade it's a fucking laser. Has a lower TTK than almost all pulses and is right up there with Stranger's Rifle in that impact tier.
The Queen pulse is the only pulse with it's RoF and impact tier in the game and has a very unique feel. It's a weird outlier that statistically has a higher TTK than many others, but has super high AA and still kills in two bursts. It feels really good despite the math not working in its favor. I have one with Third Eye, Stability, and Hidden Hand and it melts. It might be my favorite non-Messenger/Hopscotch pulse.

Ok, so I'm fairly new to Destiny (leveled a Titan to 10 at launch, quit, now I'm starting again and have a level 5 Hunter) and I have a couple questions that have been nagging at me.
1) When on low level patrol in the Cosmodrome, I have beacons that send me through that area where you kill your first Archon in the main quest line, only now in that room is a ?? level crazy Queen-something mob with dual swords that kills me with one hit, making me have to run through there to get to my low level beacon patrol quest. Why????
2) Also while on patrol in said Cosmodrome, I see level 32-34 peeps out and about, murdering the low level Dregs and shit. Why exactly? Just trying to understand the reasoning...

I wanted a HP and I grinned some Dragon Strikes and I didn't get one... and then I got a Messenger and I said to myself this is probably good enough.
I'd love to have a HP with a great roll but I don't have the time to grind Dragon Strikes ATM. Maybe I'd do it on a speed run GAF train but nobody seems to be doing that these days.

Add me if you haven't--I actually really, really like grinding strikes. Mindless fun to shotgun all the things.

Indeed.
HAHAHAHAHA The words changed too! Holy shit. Perfect!
Can you change Nami's avatar for us? lol I don't think he will be mad at all.
I try to grind some once I have all of my weekly content done, usually by Sunday or Monday.
Did something like 20 strikes already, and only saw legendary drops on the first one, not even one ever since. Got a dupe MIDA out of one of them, though...

Players scale down to the enemies they attack.
When killing at level 5 dreg, a level 8 guardian and a level 28 guardian are going to do the exact same damage.
Regarding the first issue, that's part of a new world event specific to house of wolves. Best bet is to just avoid them for the time being. Think of it like standard MMO stuff, you just aren't high enough level to take on that area. Either try to run through it, or go explore in a different direction until later.

This I really like. I was curious to see if they'd be remixing Strikes in some way. Hopefully it's more than just Taken in the same old strikes and they've added some other mechanics in the mix. We'll see.
That wording about Destiny Players paying for premium content being the default. UGH
THIS can FUCK RIGHT OFF. Ugh. How insulting.
Double exp is whatever, but a quest? Probably won't even be in Canada.
I went to my local 7-11 and it's not one of the lucky few that have the stuff early. If I can, when they do hit, I'll buy a bunch extra to give to the out of country folks here.
Sure add me. My PSN is in my profile. I don't see your PSN anywhere if you are on PS4.
Yeah someone on reddit ran a bunch of Dragon strikes and collected the stats and decided you have a 30% chance to get a legendary from a Dragon strike. If you have an equal chance of getting armor or weapons... then you have to run around 30-50 dragon strikes on average to expect to get the one thing that is exactly what you want like a HP pulse rifle. Unless you get lucky. Seems like a waste of time when the messenger is already almost exactly the same. I'd do better in PvP by working on my PvP skills with the Messenger rather than grinding for a HP and then re-rolling it until it's perfect.
Maintenance or not i will play destiny. Wife just went to work and you tell me i will not be able to, do not think so.
Edit : got 1 minute , 1 minute of playtime
1) Just sprint past. That Captain is a bounty target from Petra in the Reef. Run past him until you get to the Divide, which I believe is where your bounty target is.
2) There are bounties given by the bounty bot for earth patrols, as well as other bounties involving killing a number of enemies without taking damage, etc. It is easier to get those done on low level enemies, which many in the Cosmodrome are.
Hmmm, I really like spare change but if Hopscotch pilgrim is better I might have to get to grinding some strikes. Doesn't hurt to be on the Bad Juju bounty as well I suppose.
Even though all I do is mostly crucible I still haven't tried out ToO yet for the messenger. One of these days though...
Just photoshop the beams, problem solved

Kicked out of Destiny...server maintenance begins.
PSN is same as username. I have Deku added already it looks like. Happy to grind with y'all.
Hopscotch has better handling, higher AA, a better recoil pattern, and a bigger mag (30!).
It's a sign that you have become "Taken".

bungie fucking europe again.
I've wasted so many Motes of Light trying for a good roll on the Her Benevolence. Seeing mention of the Y-09 Longbow Synthesis made me look at the one I ascended and forgot about. It has Shortgaze/Ambush, Unflinching, Field Scout, Final Round. The rate of fire and impact are the same and it has a little more stability. QuickDraw would be better in the middle tree, but overall it seems like I may have wasted a boatload of Motes.
Just got the boot from the servers as well.

I wonder if it's just a way to get the Taken more exposure.
Like, right now we have
Devil's Lair - Fallen/Hive
Summoning Pits - Hive
The Nexus - Fallen/Vex
Cerberus Vae III - Cabal
Winter's Run - Fallen/Vex
Dust Palace - Cabal
Will of Crota - Fallen/Hive
Undying Mind - Vex
Shadow Theif - Fallen/Hive
Tallied up thats
- Fallen - 5
- Hive - 4
- Vex - 3
- Cabal - 2
I can see Bungie trying to play Catch-up a bit by adding more Cabal and more Taken strikes.
