Destiny |OT26| Like a Hat

Putting up the Bat signal for any of my good GAF buddies. I'm sitting on a 6-0 no mercy Trials card. I've got everything I want from Mercury so don't really care how it ends, just wanna finish it. Who's coming with me???

Nice runs. 2 really laggy teams but the last team had a guy that made it terrible. I didn't play great most of the games myself. Need a break :p My reflexes diminish after playing trials for 3+ hours straight.

Hope they fix the damn lag soon
(people can lag by just lowering their MTU...it needs sorting out)

Had 2 good trial runs yesterday with my 2 mains...took me all day to do my 3rd character....
 
Its so gorgeousssss.

I'm hoping they restock the new subclass shirts soon... Need all the Sunbreaker paraphernalia I can get!

I want it badly. But I can afford to spend another $200. I like Bungie's because it comes with the Hammer!

I really wanted the HoW shirt and forgot to check out then it sold out. And it's been sold out for so long

Matchmaking 1: middle of salvage, get out
Matchmaking 2: middle of salvage, get out
Matchmaking 3: middle of salvage, get out
Matchmaking 4: middle of salvage, get out

Go fuck yourself Bungie... stop this bullshit and give a proper match.

I can also tell you why is that:

in Salvage games are way toooo loooooong, 10k is too much, 7.5k would be better or even less.

Also: matches are rarely close, most of the time, if you loose both heavies is a guaranteed loss, since, you will most likely also loose the next relic, probably also another after that, cause enemies will heavy+super you.


Been playing it a lot lately and we were destroying opponents and ofc, those guys were frustrated and quit. You have the usual n00b, who probably doesn't even know how to quit, thus the game goes on, and the MM engine will try to find new ppl.

Thus, giving YOU the usual game in progress.

Also, ppl mostly farm it for grimoire, so they tend to quit more when they are loosing.

Tbh, if you are in a match in a bad team you will most likely keep dying for a long time, more deaths... more tendency to say ''fuck it'' and quit, hence starting the loop again.

Today i played 3 or 4 matches, all ended due to enemies quitting a loosing match. We had 3780-0 one of those games, felt bad for the poor guys.

Dude, I was as excited to finally have the HP drop as I was when Hawkmoon dropped. Either the hype is real, or the loot is thin lol

If you go to Orbit in the middle of a Crucible game or Strike, you should be banned from re entering for 5-10 minutes. otherwise people will keep quitting, it's like what happened with pre medallion Iron Banner.
 
I left off the raid at this (sword attack Crota) checkpoint, would like help from people who want to take him down - this is my first time at this raid, so I'm clueless :p

Special thanks to Adin75 and co for POE and raids last night. Good haul!

Anytime, was good fun. Ended up getting a lot more done than I initially expected, glad you got some good gear :)

If you are on tonight I will see if we can get you into a Nightfall, will make levelling those new guns a bit quicker.

Since there seems to be a big interest in Skolas kills for Year One Triumph, and I see Drizz is willing to help out, I'm going to start a Skolas School list. I had one member already PM me about this weekend so he's 1 on my list. To try and get through as many people as possible I am going to leverage some requirements so it doesn't take 3 hours per run. I actually don't run with any exotics, but you will need upgraded weapons.

Requirements:
1. You've never had a Skolas kill
2. Level 34
3. Class doesn't matter, but subclass will. Need a fully leveled Defender, Sunsinger, or Bladedancer.
4. Have a 365 legendary for each slot to be flexible (typical suggestions include an elemental Hand Cannon, arc Shotgun, Sniper, and Rocket Launcher)

Completely optional but will be very helpful if you have the time to start gathering these:
1. Fallen PoE Gear for Armor/Recovery boost
2. Found Verdict or similar arc Shotgun for specialist VIP fallen round
3. Fatebringer for the Arc Burn Cabal round
4. Helm of Saint 14 for Titans, Ram for Warlocks

That's it.

Here's the list:
1. SheHateMe
2. ??
3. ??

Just quote the list and add yourself to it. Whenever I get time to hop on this week and start working kills I'll go top down through the list. This weekend I should have a lot of time to do several runs starting Friday night.

Drizz feel free to grab guys off the list for your own runs and/or we can team up to sherpa people through much faster.
This is awesome! I need to work on a couple weapons to meet the requirement and will check on a friend to see if he wants to try as well.

After leveling all 3 classes titans are easily the best looking class for shaders. Everything on hunter is dirty and warlock armor is wierd anyway. Robes supercede the shader color
 
Paging Korosenai!
And whoever was watching the stream that took me to Mercury.

Look who my nephew and Josh ran into on a regular Phogoth strike Hahaha probably doing Thorn bounty.

How is the Ar760 Truth Serum legendary auto? Should I hold on to it for after the weapon update?

Ehh, it's part of what I call the "bullet hose" class and is comparable to Aetheon's Epilogue and Doctor Nope. No idea how they're going to be handling in TTK, but they probably still won't be the best option.

For that class and the slightly higher impact class, go with:
Red Dot OAS, Focused Fire, Smallbore, Glass Half Full

Scope doesn't matter too much and you can swap out Smallbore for Hand-Laid Stock and Injection Mold. Point of this is to make it do as much damage as possible by sacrificing some of the rate of fire and magazine, both of which are in high abundance.

Honestly the main reason the Destiny criticism gets to me is that there's this undertone of superiority amongst the criticisers. I've got all my drops, I don't want for anything anymore. I play for crucible, because I like the crucible. I play raids because the raids are fun. I've got the loot I want from raids.

I just resent the tone of 'people who play destiny are stuck in some psychological trap'.

Don't you see. We're all being secretly controlled by Bungie to keep playing their game. W/e they put in it has officially made us addicted. Once we've gotten a taste we just can't stop. It all makes sense now!
