I played a lot of Combined Arms this weekend. So refreshing to escape the Hand Cannon / shotgun tyranny for a while.

Last night I did a "Dragon" to finish the strike without dying bounty.
I get in. I get mission completed notice immediatelly and walking tall. Where's my fate of all fools?

Wait what? How do you mean?

I get that but to give shit to the other two players seems ridiculous.
You would likely end up 26-2 regardless
Yeah!
Oh oops I say Yallerhorn
See I would guess a map like First Light that Patience and Time would be a better selection. The cloaking, similar impact and fire rate but being able to fire a second round quickly just in case or at a second target - I mean that thing doesn't move. Ice Breaker kicks like a mule.

Chris Hardwick said it best...
While I like this argument, there are plenty of other acronyms that don't follow this rule either.
Language is a fickle mistress, and she does whatever she god damn pleases.

Confirmation bias.
You remember the times you got shit way more often than the time you got rewarded.
The point is that it's not performance-based. It's a roll of the dice for each player individually.

If it wasn't a fickle asshole, it wouldn't be Destiny.
There's a reason my fire team says "Fuck Destiny?" rather than "Play Destiny?"

I'm confuse but laughing at the same time....lol
Agreed. How hard would it be to put those few tunes up on iTunes? I would buy immediately. For now I just recorded a few vids of me sitting on the Reef and then ripped just the audio. Pretty ambient with all of the talk and noises and such. Still not quite what I was hoping.
I still love it. I have a meeting in less than an hour, so I can't join now, but after it's over I'll be looking for a group to run level 34.

Well, I'm not doing skolas this week. Fuck lightswitch.
P&T is also a great option! I like Ice Breaker on First Light because it's so damn big that running out to get Special Ammo can be a pain sometimes. It can be pretty far
But yeah sniping with custom optics while invisible with great stability/RoF and nice ammo reserve? So good.
On 3 characters I've done one level 32 and that's all
Can't seem to find groups, but I haven't tried lfg.net so maybe that is better.
I just want the light to level gear. I have Shadow of Veils, it's there anything else that I should be striving for from PoE?
hit me up for that, I wanna get the armor for my Hunter
How dare you all! Who do you think you are? Please show some respect for the greatest gun ever made every anywhere EVER. IB da GAWD.
And you. YOU. You made the list twice. That's 2 strikes.
I need PoE 32 in about an hour. X2-3 preferably but at least once at any rate.
It's terrible.
Invite me to your 34 if I'm on... But I'm not sure whether I will be or not.
Alright I'm just gonna do a quick 28 and then hop off. Want 100 rep to get to rank 3.

Yep. I'd rather just play trials all the time to get those awesome boots + the RL.

Going to do some PvP for some coins but mostly for a chance at a Matador. If anyone feels like joining up, you're welcome.

Saw someone using it in Clash a couple of days ago, was surprised by that. With that recoil I never considered it. But forgot to check how they did so I have no idea if they were effective or not.
...
Think of it this way. Hidden Hand didn't even exist two months ago and we still sniped stuff just fine
Her Benevolence with a stability perk and good scopes? Winner.
That's the thing, Praedith's Revenge still feels like the best PvP sniper for me. Haven't found another that feels as good. And LGH was underwhelming. Maybe this HB does the trick.

HB is definitely my go-to in ToO, sniping through that revive shield is just so helpful.
In normal crucible I usually use an Eye of Sol, which is ridiculously good as well. Wish I had a Shadow of Veils to test that one out though.
When is ttk comming?
HoW kinda killed my intrest in destiny some how. Havnt done any raiding since the release, and dont really feel like doing nf ans weekly anymore.
Poe got boring after i levled up voc, woc, fang and some armour.
ToO is pretty much the only thing of intrest anymore.
HoW wasnt as good as i first thought. Hope ttks raid will be better.

HB is the complete opposite type.
Praedyth's is low impact, really high RoF with uber-low aim assistance.
HB is slower firing but harder hitting with a ton of AA.
Note: AA is not always a good thinned. Sometimes a character walking next to another will mess up your shots. Something like Praedyth's works great in 6v6 where you're more likely to have 2 adjacent enemies you can kill in quick succession. Firefly and the fire rate will make it ideal for such a scenario.
Her Benevolence fires a lot slower, so getting a 2 body shot kill is harder. Enemies will move away before you get the second shot in. It shines with pure power. With its AA, it's a weapon for calculated headshots. It can kill through a revive shield. It's what you want for 3v3.
If you like Praedyth's style snipers, look out for Eye of Sol from ToO.

Good morning
Sept 15th so we have a while to go yet. From what they've shown it should be pretty damn good.
TtK raid should be good. It's being done by the guys who did Vault of Glass. I think this dude named Luke Smith is leading the team.

Yep. No one pronounces the P in JPEG as an F, even though it stands for Photographic.

So, I might be a little crazy, but here is my current situation.
My son and I both play Destiny, but we can't play together. His PSN account is a sub-account under mine.
This is what I'm planning to do at some point this fall:
1. Upgrade his account to a normal account (which I believe is available to do now).
2. Purchase a new PS4, giving my old one to my son.
3. Migrate my acccount to the new PS4.
4. Buy the new Destiny Digital Collectors Edition for myself on that account.
5. Purchase the upgrade to TKK for my son's account, or maybe get him the same upgraded edition.
6. ??????? Realize I am crazy.
7. We can play Destiny together.
$400 + $40(PSN) + $80 + $40(TKK)
$560 is the cost this fall if I want to play TKK with my son. I sure do miss the Halo splitscreen days.
Now to the reason why I'm posting this: Is there any worry about losing character progress with all this migration? I'm particularly worried that my son might lose something in upgrading his PSN from a sub to a master account.

Still looking for 34 PoE? I need to run it on my Titan

His sub account... Does that mean he has three of his own characters and you have three of your own as well? Or do you share the same pool of 3.

There definitely is. TDB had a few new tracks and HoW music is fantastic, IMO. https://youtu.be/RKJJc2VFSicI'm sure TTK OST will be great. In all of Destiny's flaws, music definitely isn't one of them.
This made me laugh more than it should.
On topic: I did PoE 35 with 2 Hunters while I was running my Titan. That was a horrible experience. It took me a minute to figure out why every enemy in the Skolas fight was shooting at me 75% of the time. I was the only visible target in the fight.
I don't know about sub accounts so definitely read up on that first. However, one digital copy is good for two PS4s.
If you leave your current PS4 as the "primary" console of your PSN account, anyone signing in on that console will have access to your digital library.
Your new PS4 can be a "secondary" console, where your digital library is only useable if opened from your account. You son uses his PSN ID on your primary PS4 and you use your own ID on your secondary PS4.
This way you both get to play together with the purchase of a single TTK code.

Yeah, it's more of a long term investment and probably not fair to say it's just for Destiny. I also had similar feelings back when we were both playing Battlefield 4 at PS4 launch.
We are completely separate. PSN allows you to create sub-accounts with their own PSN handle.
I'm definitely going to look into doing that... I didn't know you could use a digital copy on two PS4s. That's awesome.

Honestly guys, it's not that bad. A couple of buddies and I did the Skolas fight yesterday in about 30 mins without wiping once. A few pages back me and Ikkarus pointed out some stuff to look out for.
It was the first time I tried the fight since they patched it and I found it very fun and tense, much better than with the burns.
Yeah, I'm going to unlock the perks on that HB and check it out.
