I haven't done a single dragon strike since HoW launch, but i'm sure if I do, the pilgrim will drop from the very first one

I had one key on one character, and none with plenty of free inventory space on the other.

mmm. The raid happens during lunch for me. Guess I will have to prepare a few sandwichs for the break. And a lot of coffee.
These days I have the wireless keyboard plugged into the console. Not very useful, but at least I can answer PSN messages fast. I will be on the headset, but I don't think I will talk. Social Anxiety works opposite for me. I am a normal person in real life, but I tend to freak out online. And that's what I liked about Destiny Matchmaking... People don't usually talk.
BTW, yesterday I was streaming at medium quality without issues... which means I may have issues with my ISP again. Looks like they have doubles my bandwitch, when I explicitly asked them to downgrade it (before I bought the PS4).
Another fun thing is that since buying Destiny I haven't beaten another game. +50 hours on the main character already plus probably 2-3 on the alt. Yesterday I tried the bladedancer super, and it feels quite risky. There is not a lot of control on what you are doing and I am concerned about finishing in the worst possible place after the super wears. Things I have to do balance Destiny with:
- Freedom Planet
- Catlevania Lords of Shadow (a bit tired of AAA's now)
- Wild Arms 3
- Gravity Rush.
I hope Mighty No.9 is terrible and I can skip it. Playing an MMO sure is hard to balance.

I just got on to get some Heavy Ammo Synths and I'm jumping back on Rocket League :/
Fair enough. Played a few seconds of RL but the servers were pooping. Havent touched that since.
Let's play some trials.

Servers are up now (well for me) and every game I have been in has had flawless connections.

Went 8-1 in trials. Lost to a group of thorn-wielding Ram voidwalkers.
The hate was real. ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽.
I officially hate that gun and will never ever use it ever again

I'm scared to go back into Trials. I think my dark side will come out of me
Sent you a friend request. Xplicitone should have sent you a party invite but if not join up on the party I'm in.

As always, had a blast playing with you and tokems. We will definitely hit Mercury at some point this week if we can get more runs in together.

Communication is key for raiding and pvp. It's a team activity that requires call-outs and teamwork. It's good to talk but there is no pressure, if you don't feel like it, you don't have to.
Matchmaking has team chat options, which were patched in specifically after people requested it. Randoms mostly don't talk, but we're not randoms
There is a reason why raids, trials etc don't have matchmaking and require a pre-made party, and why Bungie defends this decision vigorously.

I feel you man. Went flawless with one character but 8-1 several times on my warlock. Currently sitting on a 7-2 card on my titan. I might be done with trials for this week after this. Love the map, since it has made me much better at sniping.

Nooooooooooo
MrChowderClams
Member
Yeah! Same.
Yeah. I'm starting to get used to TLW + sniper + bladedancer. Quickdraw is such a great perk. Switching from sniping straight to TLW has made firefights a lot easier for me to manage. Plus I finally got the HB roll I've always wanted
im up for it. PMed you

Holy shit, Freedom Planet, Wild Arms 3 and Gravity Rush are all top tier games. Haven't played Lords of Shadow, but given your obviously impeccable tastes, I'm going to assume it's great.

And that's why I've been avoiding the game in the last days. destiny was a bit of an experiment with, see if I could actually work at an mmo, but I am still stuck at the barrier.
Keep in mind that I've played Shellshock 2: Blood Trails just for the masochistic factor and my opinion on Bloodborne has earned me sworn enemies already. Lords of Shadow was a Castlevania inspired game which was picked by Konami, but overall is a God of War Clone, up to the chain. I was playing Gravity Crush during Commutes, although people look weird at me when I overdo aiming with the gyroscopes.
Well, I will pm DeathJr in 30 minutes when I enter. Need to finish my laundry and wash my hair first and i will be ready, plus filling a bottle of water. I usually don't bring supplies to the living room, but damn "no pause, ever".

Destiny is not an mmo in the traditional sense. It's a hybrid.
I'm online now, if you want to do a nightfall before the raid, let me know.
