Interesting concept art of what the Heart of the Black Garden may have looked like. Definitely can see a more obtuse parallel to The Traveler here. The final murky muddy form works too, but this would have been cool to see- more sci-fi-y and less spacey-wacey.

That Pentahedron was in the Terminus at one point back in the day. Not sure if it was just left over assets that they didn't find a use for or what, but I remember seeing that shape.

 

[Jabronium]

That's a pretty good roll dude. Mine is G&H, Flared Magwell & Clown Cartridge, it all works equally well. It's just whatever you prefer.

Yeah, so much of it is preference. I need to try my shotties and see which I like more (PC+1, Matador, and Judgment all rolled with aggressive, shot pkg, various last perks).

Saint 14. Nighthawk. Praxic Fire. Gjallarhorn.

Definitely Nighthawk because that's what I got from NF this week.

Guys.... which one do I keep?

Void or Solar Messenger.... I already have void scholar and void summoner....

Shard the void messenger, right?

 

[wesleyshark]

Spoiler

I have all of those... that Xur would be OK with me.

Whew! Well, what are you still missing?

Spoiler'd so Xur can't see

I foolishly skipped the Praxic Fire last week...

Kyoufu nooooooo. It wasn't the best stat roll, but it was still pretty good.

Can't wait to get back Monday so I can waste fools with my BRTD, that gun is freaking awesome! Used it in my last few solo IB matches last night and was racking the kills up by being a bit conservative with it (I.e. waiting to hear the symphony of booms) then posting up somewhere safe-ish and going to town. I think I like it more than rockets

I am just missing a few of the new HoW exotic armors. Lol not even sure of their names.

 

[LiK]

Judging from yesterday's IB, Messenger seemed a lot less effective against Warlock with Ram helms. The extra armor made getting headshots much tougher. They simply survived longer. It was pretty frustrating against a team with 3-4 Ram locks. All their dumbass overshields and Nova bombs. Going back to using a TWL and Thorn was much more effective. I'll be doing that much more if the other team has ANY Ram heads.

God I want a void messenger

Out of my 4 trips to Mercury I've gotten 3 of the 4 weapons I want, so I shouldn't be complaining much. That's the last one though.

what it needed was a unique bossfight instead of just fighting against 3 normal Minotaurs

or should have atleast ended with us ramming the heart with our Sparrow or something!

Hmmmm. Wish I could have seen that!

Yep. Usually is the case lol. I'd hold off on leveling the one you got in case there's a better stat roll tomorrow.

They survive 2 Thorn headshots and 4 TLW body shots. Rams are the worst.

I'll play some with you if you're still going. Lets see how long I can survive in this heat.

I keep getting trials weapons in void for some reason. I have had had 6 or 7 messengers drop too, including 3 last week :|

I got some pretty decent rolls on mine, but haven't really used it much since everyone is rocking rocket launchers. What rolls do you have on yours?

It was awful. We ended up getting matched with teams with multiple Ram Locks and we had none on our team, iirc. I'm gonna max out my own Ram Lock and use him in the next IB cuz I wanna be the biggest asshole.

My Ram Lock will also use Red Death/Thorn, Matador and whatever heavy I feel like using at the time. 100% asshole mode

I had no idea until 2 days ago that that helmet increased their base health to this degree. it just seems wrong...

Hoping this weekend I can find people to do Vault of Glass once and for all. After that I am considering taking a one week break. I've started to notice some signs of addiction already (as in playing for more than two hours every day and going later and later to bed everytime, plus checking the companion app when not playing, or following this thread).

If you can't beat them, join them. Bungie doesn't seem to have an issue with it.

It's been banned from competitive matches for this reason. It's a crazy advantage for high level play.

AB, HH, SB, RF

SB only subtracts 4 bullets so no biggie. When I get another I'll roll for AB, HF, QD and RF but I wouldn't complain with the same rolls, recoil is fine and range is fantastic... *Tackk,Takkk,Takkk* dead, repeat

Edit:

What the hell does this even mean? Are these "competitive matches" using Thorn or Lightning grenades or supers or etc etc etc? I don't get it, but I'm a scrub lol.

Took me hour and a half to complete 4x poe28 lord of wolves is mine!!! Surprisingly i only stumbled on people that where experienced and compared to other poe's it seemed like a lat of fun with random rounds, objectives and modifiers. Got 2 legendary engram one turned in to P&T. Good day.

Bounty only takes 4x lv28 I thought it'd take like twice that.

I did one final POE28 last night to complete my Queen's Bow bounty. One dude left right at the beginning. Fortunately, the other guy was competent enough and we still were able to steamroll through with just the two of us. Felt good.

Titans need a 10% armor buff when tTK comes out. We can not be out-armored by Ram Warlocks, come on Bungie.

 

[dB Viper]

Any XB1 IB trains?

 

[Nuszka]

On topic of Ram. See a lot of folk complaining about it, but this is Bungie we are talking about, tbh i am starting to think the more expansions we get the more unbalanced crucible will become. Only solution to me is that every warlock that has it should be wearing it, look what happened to AR's. If you can't beat them just join em.
This might be bad saying it but i do not consider pvp in destiny in any way or form competitive, to me its just a fun mode to play around and shoot at other. Yes you can take it seriously but you would just get frustrated at things like the Ram, god trio of HC, some supers clearly better then other and especially lag, very bad sometimes...
I do hope i am wrong and they will rebalance some weapons and stuff but until then we will have unwritten rules established by folk that take it very seriously like this http://adamantdestiny.clanwebsite.com/page/competitive
No words, seems like those people are playing the wrong game.

Titans have been out-armored by Warlocks since day one. It's pretty stupid how weak Titans are compared to Warlocks. We should be able to take them on in 1v1 melee fights.

I think the more interesting info is that, out of 5000 games, 5000 winning teams, over 50% used Thorn.

But both are really cool to know.
