My buddy griffith let me borrow his. That guy is legit the best hunter in this game.
I am thinking they will show off some new manufacturers and maybe throw in one exotic that won't be too rare. That's my guess.
imagine a hawkianless world...
Careful. The odds of getting one thing you want with Helmet engrams are not good, don't go nuts unless you have a billion motes.

If you don't get Javelin, it's not worth using over other rocket launchers.

In my experience running w Stabie and Wicked, the best players aren't on midday right when Trials launches. We had one sweaty match against some clan that had a 97% win record in Trials and it was only sweaty because we wore green armor to start, lol. Then Stabie went HAM and we won 5-4, but most matches are against very average to poor teams. I think more serious players get on later in the evenings during prime recreation time.
Just my observations anyway. Maybe it's a small sample size effect or just the Stabie effect but it's been consistent every week.
Shit all he needs are the Hard raids, PoE 35, and 3 more Golden Chests.
Join GAF and we'll have that done in 3hrs DeeJ

Hey Drizz, if your offer still stands, I can run Trials whenever. If you are busy thats fine, I can get a pickup group.
I'd take a mote instead of a 5th Revenant......
In your experience when would you say the best players ARE on?
I'm sure we'll get some updates between now and then.
Destiny will never have a monthly subscription. But nor will the current model hold.

So, on the subject of gold chests - I went from "I'll find them myself, hrumph" to "fuck it, where are some guides" in the span of three days. (I found two more on my own, and a dead ghost, woo.) Right now I'm missing two.
Thing is, I've gone and gotten all the ones from the guides, in the case of some of them, twice. But Earth and the Moon are still at 4/5 completed. I followed Datto's guides for each (Earth, Moon), grabbed them between yesterday and today, and am still at 4/5 on each. Does the context you get them in matter? For example, if you get them while on patrol, might they not count if you don't get them on the right story mission?

Shouldn't matter how you acquire them, just that you open them. The contents are based on the order you open them I believe, not the location, but that shouldn't matter for your total count.
I guess just double check each location.
Lack of a sub fee is a weak excuse for the game's misgivings.
Between launch and the game's first anniversary we'll have paid at least US$70 in DLC - more for people getting Collector's goodies - on top of the base game's price. Spread this out and it's over US$5 a month for a sub in a game which:
- has zero dynamic content, everything is static and on a timer and completely unchanged since launch
- has no World Events
- has had exactly zero new enemy types added
- has no dedicated servers for PvP
- still has extremely limited or just absent matchmaking and LFG features
- still has no clan / guild integration whatsoever
- can take months to address and ultimately do something about bugs
- ignores balance issues for ridiculously long times despite constant community pressure
I could go on. The point is, Destiny generates revenue in a similar fashion to titles charging a subscription but the game does not receive the kind of support a subscription title would demand despite this.
Whatever, I'd happily pay monthly for a game I like so much, but I really really hope it doesn't happen because it would break the community (biggest asset they have).

Here's your correct grimiore card
The head is too big. It is very shiny now though. Defintely an improvement. I need to save this for future use.

There basically is. $20 to buy the game, $6-7 per month, $80 per year.

Spent 3 tries worth of motes on Xur this morning trying to get the Celestial Nighthawk. Got 2 Titan helms redeeming the engram as my Titan, switched to my Hunter and got another Titan helm
Makes me feel fortunate, I got one on my first engram.
You kinda have. That's what the DLC expansions are in a way.
A better system I think would be something like GW2 with cosmetic micro-transactions and then one annual expansion or something.
I could make a far longer list of what has been updated and added, and I'd also note that most of the things you list are the types of things that come in major expansions, which we're getting soon; it will tick off several of those items though not all. I guess I don't know what you mean by world events, as I think of the Wolves and public events as being those.
We've also seen a learning curve, and a shift in mentality recently in how Bungie addressed bugs and problems with the game. HoW had three much needed updates within weeks of launch that fixed Skolas, that other obnoxious boss, and the treasure key economy. These type of things took months after Destiny shipped. Hopefully more of those items get checked off as TTK gets further revealed.
Edit Not to minimize the importance of what could be added from your list, just noting that while there's clearly a lot more then could be adding (and probably are) the list from year 1 is actually pretty long.
Let me know if you need one more for any of those things.

Need 1 more for Trials. Anyone up for it?
It happened again.
8-0, loss boon gone.
We face a team of Warlocks.
"Capture the zone!"
Ok guys lets GO! WTF! Shotgun him?! He wont die?! O well, Round lost. Shit happens.
"Capture the zone!"
Lets take it this time! I will smash the zone. *uses Smash* ... they dance.
... and at this point I put down my controller and went for a smoke. Fucking hackers.

I gotta eat now before I pass out but I'll be back in 30-45 min and could do some runs then if we can find a third. Since you only need 3 wins hopefully it wouldn't take long. Obviously if you find a group in the meantime go ahead and try a few matches, with any luck you might be done before I get back.
Edit: looks like you've got a group started there, give it a go and then I'll check in when I finish eating/life stuff. Good luck!
Usually the times we play, lol. But honestly ~8-11 pm EST has been a higher percentage of pro players in my experience. Then it drops off again when it starts to get really late, like 3-5 am EST. Of course there are time zone differences with teams (Stabie and Wicked are 8 hours apart I think), but the "connection based MM" means you'll match more often against geographically similar players.

From a recent Reddit post, it was suggested that all of these launchers are better than Crota. I don't know if this person was full of crap or not, but they made a decent case for:
Radegast’s Fury
Ash Factory
Dreamwaker
Wastelander
Tomorrow’s Answer
Uppercut Payload
Admonisher
Exodus Plan
The Fear
The link below has more detail on perks, but Tripod should always be a goal

I picked up a single helmet engram last week on a whim, turned it in to cryptarch and was like.
"...what's a 'Celestial Nighthawk'? Looks cool."

thanks for the link!
Yup. Fucking *hate* Lag Switchers, and DDOS attackers.
Not a dumb question at all! I honestly wish that more of my teammates would look into more strategy for this part than just rushing down the stairs at the enemy.
Here's my strategies:
Left/Mars/future: run around the right pillars and don't jump at all. If done correctly, the hobgoblins won't notice you until you kill kne of them. R2 while on the ground to dash attack and kill them in one hit each (r2 in air has a long animation)
Right/Venus/past: I run to the edge of the topof the stairs, jump high until I am almost over the enemies, then R2 in the air to do the heavy AoE ground hit. The AoE hit knocks them all back, buying you a few seconds to attack. Follow with r2 dash attacks on the praetorian(the r2 hits interrupt, so it can't attack back. 2-3 r2's should kill it), then kill the goblins. (Feel free to switch these if you want, the praetorian just does more damage, better to kill it quickly).
Usually I do a quick cleanse for my teammates and then leave when there are two oracles left. That way I reach the middle platform just about the time they kill the last Oracle, so you can get about another 5 seconds of dps per rotation.

That link is mostly for PvP. For PvE, Tracking is fine and in some ways preferable to Grenades and Horseshoes.
