English is not my first language so I'm not familiar with the expression of "doing raw", but it definitely sounds like something I haven't and wouldn't like to do to you.
You keep saying retreat. I can go back to that old thread, start a new one, or call you on Skype. You're making a big deal where there is none. What the hell does a bubble in this OT even mean in the context of making fun of pseudo science being gobbled up in a thread full or people looking to jump on a bandwagon and void of the technical knowledge to assess the unsubstantiated claims of a games journalist? I didn't wanna speak in these terms but that video is ridiculous garbage and would be laughed right out of any academic's desk.
I mean I could comment the entire video for 15 minutes straight with the same response: citation needed.
Listen, I gave you the benefit of the doubt earlier but now you've just confirmed you want to make this conversation combative. You raise interesting, but ultimately failed assumptions but you're not worth this discussion right now. You wanna know how you keep people playing for 10 years? Give them a game they like playing. No amount of hoops will circumvent that requirement.
If you think ________ will stop playing when he gets a Ghallarhorn or Hawkmoon or that he'd never stop playing unt he gets one, or that engrams produce a dopamine release (Jesus run some tests before saying this) because pigeons tap on a screen, or that the fundamentals of behavioral science are sufficiently mature to engineer a game which can addict millions in the span of months, fine.
I know, I'm just saying this has been known for ages, I admit I'm addicted and I'm fine with that, I mean could be worse right, could be cocaine or something?
Plus I find actually I've limited my playtime a lot recently as other things are coming out. Although I do love plating trials a lot, it feels competitive.
But as soon as I have new and exciting content to play I'll be back, not just for the RNG,
But at the end of the day, it's one of the most mechanically solid shooters I've played for a very long time with a great PVP, (even better once Thorn is nerfed.)
Got two seats on the reset scrub-a-palooza! Anyone interested?
You can watch the scrubbing live right here http://www.twitch.tv/unstablelive
A+, you are nearing Kadey's level.Why not. I need another Black Hammer
Anyone feels like carrying my sorry remote play ass through nf got to my hometown just trying it out my console is over 1000 miles away from me lol
Yup. I'm in the same boat-I know Destiny has extremely addictive mechanics in it(Like I mentioned before, GAF had some 'withdrawal' threads. Maybe it was a joke title, but I know I felt the itch each day to play Destiny and that nonstop thinking about it.). I still continue to play it, because those addictive mechanics feel good at times. Unfortunately HoW didn't grab me as I expected it would, so I'm in between games.
how's the lag?

So I was searching for a message from last week in my PSN account and I find out that I can only see the last 5 messages and everything else has been deleted. Wtf?
Still got room for 1?Death singer plus crota 3x
2 spots.
Joim on me, ji66a man or unstabie.
Ah man, I would help you out but I'm off to work in about 5min.
NF was crazy easy today, if you still need once I'm back from work later I'll gladly run you through
Still got room for 1?
My point would be that people are giving Destiny too much credit when the same mechanics are found in countless other games. They didn't even add their own spin on it and instead just copied what countless other producers have done before.Yup.

I know what a Skinner Box is, but where Reddit and Gamasutra and the video are failing is the following: absent testing, you can vaguely describe anything in these terms. The earliest instance of this discussion I can find as a Reddit thread:*Shrug*.
Psuedo-Science? Unsubstantiated claims? Again, the video isn't meant to be a thesis, nor a research paper. You said it yourself. It's meant to draw parallels. And I wouldn't call the Skinnerbox 'Psuedo-science'. It is anything but.
There's this. If that isn't enough, read into what a Skinner box is.
A discussion is a discussion. A discussion with two opposing views will seem combative if only because our opinions are differing. That is a conversation.
Again, what is a skinner box.
Ocean, I'm sure your heart is in a right place. But there is science behind this. You have people that have learned how to exploit this behavior working on a team at Bungie, as shown by Skeles link above. To deny that, to try and call it 'psuedo-science' in order to discredit it is misleading at best, damaging at worst. Destiny is a skinner box. A well refined one with many different components at play in order to maximize itself.

Got it.Fr sent
One more?
Sleepy, wannna team up for the NF when you get home ? I won't be able to do them at reset today.
Thanks to Lionel and Nightzoor for that amusing Nightfall run. Arc burn + lightswitch means getting one-shot by a melee dreg. XD
Got two seats on the reset scrub-a-palooza! Anyone interested?
You crazy kids and your reset fever! Sure, if you can resist the itch until 18:30 or 45. Can't wait to get my hands on another purple, Suros or NLB!
Hi DestinyGaf!
I stopped playing destiny when 'The dark below' released and my psn+ expired.
I jumped back in when 'wolves' released and found it fun but it wasn't until I renewed my psn+ that I remembered why I liked it so much originally. Being able to run strikes (even with randoms for now as most of my friends aren't playing any more) and do things like prison of elders is just a completely different dynamic than just soloing missions.
Anyway long story short I am doing the Thorn exotic bounty and dreading doing the 500 void points in PvP. Any tips for a recently returned and rusty guardian?
Oh yeah... Destiny Day today
Free emblem and maybe some other goodies?
Anyone down for 3x nightfalls ? hit me up warrior_of_uae
The NLB drop rate on deathsinger and crota is so high it must be some kind of troll from Bungie. ^^Lol ji66a_man
3x crota
3x No Land Beyonds
Anyone down for 3x nightfalls ? hit me up warrior_of_uae
Me, Rubenov25
Need 1 more for Nightfall. Rubenov25
I would hold off IMO unless you have a group of friends to play with. It would be better in the long run to just pick everything (base game + TDB + HoW + TTK) up for $60 in September. If you do choice a new system, most likely PS4 since the majority of the players here are on PS4.Happy Bungie Day, everyone. I've only recently come back to Destiny (360) after getting burnt out back in October. A lot of the little underlying updates to the game's RNG feel quite a bit better than they did before and now that I have a job I have less time to pour into grinding hours on end so I'm thinking I might not get burnt again if I bite on more content. The Expansion Pass is on sale right now for $26.24 and I'm wondering if I should take the plunge. My main concerns are quality of content, as I've heard mixed things for both, more negative for TDB and more positive for HoW, but they doesn't sound nearly as extensive as I hoped they'd be back when they were announced. I'm also giving slight consideration to getting one of the new systems, but it's ultimately not a huge concern ATM since neither the PS4 or Xbox One have the number of games I want in order to buy.
So my question is: are the expansions worth it at that price? 20 would be ideal but that's close enough for me to be tempted. I seem to remember the "GOTY" edition of Destiny being 10 bucks more than retail price but I can't recall.
