I hate you Variks! Not only are you selling gloves with Strength again for the Warlock, it's also the second time (out of two) that you've only got 4-5 out of 72h left for my Elder Cipher and you're still not finished yet.

Poor taste, low working morale. Next time the queen needs my help, I'll demand you get fired. Motherf***er.

I should be around tonight for PoE, raids, whatever, with the finals game on in the background. If it's close, might dash out to watch the end.

 

[illiniguy05]

What are the modifiers on Skolas this week?

 

[PuMa]

Thanks Hawkian. Here's my Bungie profile: https://www.bungie.net/en/Legend/2/4611686018428637223/2305843009218227617

How many marks do you have? There's some vendor armor available that can bump you up immediately. You'll probably want to replace that VOG chest piece first, since its the lowest light item you have.

 

[Ikkarus]

What are the modifiers on Skolas this week?

Juggler and Increased Melee Damage for Guardians (not sure what the perk is called).

 

[WheelHoss1]

Need a 3rd for PoE 34 with me and Frostburn.

 

[silver.tongue]

Brawler.

 

[X-Frame]

Isn't there another Destiny showcase today?

 

[squidhands]

If that strange coin in the collector's edition vibrates gently in my palm I'll spend the $80. Otherwise no deal.

In your "palm".

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

 

[neoism]

does anyone know if one f the new pvp maps is for btb CAs?

 

[rNilla]

Why is DGAF@E3 empty? No one wants to snark at the Nintendo conference?

 

[Darryl M R]

For Nintendo E3 they better show some innovative Pokemon game or I'm done with this company.

 

[Namikaze1]

I'm logging on dammit

 

[Hung Wei Lo]

Apologies, gents, but I still have family in town, so I won't be able to raid tonight. I will be around later in the week, however, and I'd like to do some PoE to get the gloves.

Unable to play tonight
x) stb (PSN Berried_treasurE) - out again this Tuesday; should be around Thursday/Friday/Weekend (will be looking for PoE32s for the gloves)

I'll be available for the 9:30 slot as usual (maybe a bit earlier or later) and will be looking to do the usual catching up - 3xNF, 3xPoE32 and 3xPoE34 (whatever can be squeezed in before I start missing out later on in the week when ToO starts..)

FYI - hope the the demotion/promotion joke I made didn't rub you the wrong way - believe me, most of the stuff I spew is all in good fun (and if I'm ranting and raving, I usually calm down before I finish the post and end up deleting it)

I REALLY appreciate the effort you're putting in here, since I'm also lazy and mostly join groups instead of starting /serious

I got only 50 Vanguard marks right now. I guess I can get 25 marks really fast doing some strikes, right?

 

[th3dude]

32 PoE tonight will get me to 33.5. so close!

 

[gio78]

Need one more for nightfall

Psn giotios

Good choice on Saint 14 as your first Ascended Exotic! You could hit 32 by just leveling up your gloves and boots, and I do recommend a few runs of CE normal to be able to do so if you don't already have the Radiant Shards. However as PuMa said, first thing you want to do is buy a Vanguard chest piece if you have the marks for it. If you can afford two pieces (or also have Crucible marks to spare), buy boots second.

Don't delete the VoG Chest you're wearing though! You can eventually Ascend it with Etheric Light if you like it better.

I got only 50 Vanguard marks right now. I guess I can get 25 marks really fast doing some strikes, right?

Then definitely- run a handful of Vanguard Dragon Strikes (4 of them will put you within 1 mark I believe) and buy that chest piece first things first.

 

[Frostburn]

Still looking for one for PoE 34

Glad to have this amazing Destiny community here on GAF.

Well you are 2/3 of the way to a new chest piece then. You only need 75 marks!

Jump into Public Events, Strikes in the Strike playlists, Daily Heroic Story Missions, or Weekly Heroic Strikes for the remaining marks you need.

Need one more for NF. Join on JinjoNL

 

[Jinjo]

Going for one more Nightfall, join JinjoNL if you want teh loots. Guaranteed Gjallarhorn.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

I deleted destiny and went into the PS store, selected destiny, and it says ttk with the timer. It let me download, so we'll see.

What am I then D:

See I don't classify you as a T Rex. I mean you're your own category. A rawrasaurus is a rare beast, one capable of handily slaying flaming dogs and attacking fierce penguins with equal ferocity.

It's OK, we never made it to 5 wins.

Oh dang, dude! that sucks

Guys I think we need to establish a new abbreviation for The Taken King.

TTK makes me think of Time To Kill each time I see it.

Thanks as always for setting the up!

I'll be available at 9:30EST or so for Nightfalls and PoE (32,34,35).

As long as we don't do with whatever that Reddit thread suggested. TKG or something. Dumb.

 

[Nuszka]

TKK preordered!!!

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

What's the total download size for the main game plus the two expansions? On my way home now and wondering if I'll be locked out and forced to delete and redownload too...

 

[Sleepy Buddha]

Has anyone with the Digital Guardian Edition managed to pre-order the Digital Collector's of TTK?

 

[warabi-mochi]

Anyone up for some nightfall runs?

 

[Mindlog]

I just heard. Got my third Gjallarhorn yesterday and my fourth today.

Thank you for letting my Warlock tag along. Much appreciated.

For both groups, when you reply to confirm availability, please include what you're looking to do, and I'll sub-group people with that info.

"Why am I listed as an alt?"
- This has come up a few times the last couple weeks.
- Please don't see being listed as an alt as a "demotion" if you were in a numbered slot last week (or in a previous week).
- I just want to get as many people organized so they can have a team ready for reset night and not have to waste time doing LFG posts when they could be playing.
- When I make these posts, I try to use either the previous week's "confirmed" list, or the names that jump out at me as "regulars" in the respective teams.
- For Team 1, some combination of a group of about 8 guys has raided together every week for the last 3+ months, so those regulars get digs on slots in that team.
- For Team 2, there are a few fixtures (ich00, HWL, LTWood, kazeshini) who I generally put in a numbered slot to start with.
- Other than the above, if you reply saying you can confirm, I keep track of who responded when. If a slot is (or becomes) available, or one of those "regulars" bows out, I put whoever confirmed first into the available slot.
- If enough people can confirm a time/activity, I'll set up a Team 3, so please don't be shy about responding!
- If you have any questions, let me know!

I'm not fully caught up..

Did you preorder Taken King digitally, and that's what is causing the problems?

Haven't been on since last night so I am missing the current events

 

[noomi]

Going to wait and see if amazon does anything, no rush to pre-order
digital copies wont run out

Jinjo always delivers.

I want my guaranteed gjallarhorn lol

Sorry lol.

About 24gb altogether.

Sorry lol.

Lol there actually was a guaranteed one.

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

About 24gb altogether.

Gah! Thanks

Go digital , you get exclusive experience when your game just stops working for no reason, no other distributors can provide that, totally unique and immersive.

 

[mid83]

I'm just now repicking this up from launch. I'm a level 16 just working thru the avenue missions right now. At what point should I grab the expansions?

 

[noomi]

About 24gb altogether.

so did you have to re-download? Will you have it all for Skolas?

 

[bitsurugi]

Still looking for one for PoE 34

I am game mate. Poke me in game.

 

[Orthogonal]

Decided to delete the game and reinstall. Hope I can play tonight. Its the only night I can play this week.

Fuck.
