nah oddone is OP

 

[xxx shiv xxx]

If anyone gets an extra redbull code I'd even be willing to paypal the $3 or whatever it costs, I don't have a 7-11 anywhere nearby.

 

[ich00]

I have but I'm not a PVP god.

May not be god tier yet, but you were definitely mvp in some of those matches last night.

 

[TearsOfBlood]

Thanks again for the red bull code Grim <3

Just decided to play Salvage with some randoms, not the best experience of a game mode I don't play all that often...got put into a game which had already started with my team being a level 24 and level 6, the level 6 kept shooting at me rather than the other team and I'm not sure they even realised what the point of the relic was it was being ignored so often...



Only another 94 wins to go to finish that grimoire card off!

Oh wow, that must've been painful. Carry harder Blaze!

 

[piratethingy]

I want a red bull code too ;--;

Anyone who wants one can PM me and will get one in the next few days. It's potentially possible I'll not be able to meet demand but to be honest not very likely lol.

PayPal donations ABSOLUTELY OPTIONAL piratethingy@gmail.com

PayPal donations will only be used to buy more cans for more GAFers!

Can we put this in the OP?

 

[noomi]

Alright, sent out 7 codes to the following.

- ocean
- lik
- silver
- wowbagger
- messiek
- xplicitone
- nuszka

Check your PM's dudes.

He did for all the other rounds.

lol, hey we all have some good rounds and some bad rounds

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Do you get points on the cipher for doing level 28 PoE?

 

[raindoc]

Damn Raindoc, your avatar seems to fit how you feel perfectly.

and then this happened.

preorder cancelled.

Spoiler

i haven't preordered yet

 

[Ganhyun]

So, I'll try and set this up now.

Any XB1 players want to do Trials tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern Time?

 

[Rubenov]

I'm not sure there is skill based matchmaking. Maybe just lobby balancing.

IIRC reg Crucible tries to match based on skill (not always on point of course) while Trials matches based on location.

 

[blazeuk]

Oh wow, that must've been painful. Carry harder Blaze!

Haha, I'd have rather it been 5v1, the constant friendly fire on me had me spinning in circles half the time wondering where the hell it was coming from.

 

[Ganhyun]

Do you get points on the cipher for doing level 28 PoE?

Yes, you get 75 points for the final round boss when you beat it.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

lol, hey we all have some good rounds and some bad rounds

Hey, we did all right for three Titans, which is the worst Trials class for me, but that doesn't mean I'm not taking any shots!

 

[noomi]

Hey, we did all right for three Titans, which is the worst Trials class for me, but that doesn't mean I'm not taking any shots!

The more I play as a titan striker the more I like it.... dare I say.... even more than my hunters?

Punching, kicking, smashing players is just so awesome haha

Thanks a lot, see you later. Will be available for anything poe 35, trials with my hunter fun wise or anything else.

 

[rNilla]

May not be god tier yet, but you were definitely mvp in some of those matches last night.

Ha! We all had our moments. I think heavy round triple down sniping and res-sniping are my new favorite things... when I don't fuck them up.

 

[saveweyard]

May not be god tier yet, but you were definitely mvp in some of those matches last night.

I had a great time last night in trials with you guys. Cries for the special were especially cracking me up. Glad we managed to get the gold package.

You won't understand the full power of the Striker until Iron Banner.

Or, you know, if you play control now.

[El_Fenomeno]

Yes, you get 75 points for the final round boss when you beat it.

I guess I'm off to do two of them. Thanks for the info.

 

[EL CUCO]

Ah good point.

By september i feel like you will be first timing the story in tTK as a titan, you know you will. Btw where should i look for the code?

 

[ich00]

Ha! We all had our moments. I think heavy round triple down sniping and res-sniping are my new favorite things... when I don't fuck them up.

Some of those res-snipes were great, especially when killing the same guy 3 or 4 times. All I heard was *snipe* "again?" *snipe* "really?" *snipe*

I had a great time last night in trials with you guys. Cries for the special were especially cracking me up. Glad we managed to get the gold package.

I believe at one point or another we all channeled our inner nghtly's.

 

[Haybro]

All this talk of red bull codes reminds me of dark days past when they used to put cod double xp codes on the outside of dorito's bags, and i would go to the store and take pics of every code...

So are these codes available with the sugar free cans? I hate regular red bull.

 

[WipedOut]

So, I'll try and set this up now.

Any XB1 players want to do Trials tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern Time?

I'm game but might have to be carried a little.

 

[i plays game lol]

So, I'll try and set this up now.

Any XB1 players want to do Trials tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern Time?

I should be on between 9-9:30 and plan on doing more trials. I might have one other friend on too, so you'd make 3.

Just send a friend request if you need someone, can figure it out later. gt=NotAok

 

[Namikaze1]

One of my finest moments as a Warlock:

If only I had saved my favorite PvP moment yet: two Titans Shoulder Charging each other in midair and only me coming out of it alive. It was a thing of beauty. I hate myself for turning off my PS4 before saving that clip.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Anyone up for a Lvl 30 PoE?

 

[grimlock33]

Anyone have the Normal Gatekeeper or Gorgon checkpoint? Need to farm glimmer and weapon parts.

 

[piratethingy]

Anyone up for a Lvl 30 PoE?

I guarantee no one is going to do 30 PoE with you guy.

 

[saveweyard]

Anyone up for a Lvl 30 PoE?

No.

 

[noomi]

Thanks a lot, see you later. Will be available for anything poe 35, trials with my hunter fun wise or anything else.

I'll be on around 3:30PM EST. Would like to do a PoE35, but if someone is willing to help me get to Mercury I'd like to do that first...

Lightning nades are flippin' awesome!

Nope! Hunter first <3 I'll give you the code tonight, your can is in my fridge still. Remind me in case I forget.

 

[phen0m24]

Would have but we decided to finish operation GorGone by finishing the raid.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

I guarantee no one is going to do 30 PoE with you guy.

Wait. There is no such thing. Dammit lol

Finally made it to lvl 30!

[Deku Tree]

IIRC reg Crucible tries to match based on skill (not always on point of course) while Trials matches based on location.

Regular elimination mode has skill based MM.
Trials has MM based on best connection.
Bungie has told us that.

I have never read Bungie say anything about regular Crucible having skill based MM, or saying anything about any criteria for regular Crucible MM.

Anyone have any links to any Bungie comments about the criteria for Regular Crucible MM?

 

[grimlock33]

Would have but we decided to finish operation GorGone by finishing the raid.

So then, No? K thanks.

[OkayRene]

So then, No? K thanks.

If you're able to get it, can I grab from you later today?

 

[Deku Tree]

Lol why would I want to buy year 1 again? Fucking activision...

People like you can buy the $40 stand alone TTK download.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Just based on personal experience, there does seem to be some kind of skill based matchmaking.

Cool, btw playing with Rubenov and JustGot i was the party leader, seems like most people from round my area were either drunk or farming for coins lol, some weird shit has happened. Will try to do that tonight as well.

 

[Ikkarus]

What lvl should I be to play ToO?

32 or higher.

 

[Apt101]

You tha best bro. Thanks a lot!

 

[Rubenov]

Reg elimination is regular Crucible; should be the same system.

Also, I believe it is that way because a bunch of people that play reg Crucible with me often tell me, "why am I getting owned so hard?! I usually top the scoreboards when I play on my own!"

Yeah it's because I play tons of pvp and tend to get matched against people that do the same. Untested, but highly likely IMO.

 

[PuMa]

tooken

 

[EL CUCO]

Just based on personal experience, there does seem to be some kind of skill based matchmaking.

My experience has been the opposite. Lol I've always felt like it does TRY to balance lobbies, but not necessarily match you with players of the same skill level. It'd be nice to hear from Bungie though.
