Any videos of it? I closed the stream when I realised they were playing on Xbone.
It was so bad, Bungie deleted the archives of yesterday's stream.

Some IB trains are more competitive than others but most play for fun.
Yea, I'm wondering about other lag switchers out there in other games.
It was part of their GDC talk on networking in Destiny. The slides are out there, somewhere.
:lol
A shame nobody captured footage of it.
It was a train wreck, going down constantly, and voice chat/players dropping out left and right.
It was hard to watch without just laughing at how bad it was.
Not to mention the chat was pure cancer.

Fully as in Ascended? I have the whole skill set for the weapons I use (Spare Change .25, Zero Point LOPT and Dry Rot / Party Crasher +1), but I haven't applied Etheric Light on them.
Regarding Learning, the problem is that I don't find PvP fun or enjoyable. I did not start improving until very recently, and it was mostly for an stupid weapon everybody seems to hate.Improvement that was rendered useless as I actually need to learn shotgun and sniper gameplay

For titan skating....
I think I've been doing it wrong this whole time.... Normally I jump, wait to descend down a bit and hit the titan jetpack right before hitting the ground to skate forward.
I realized that after jumping, hitting jetpack on then quickly off, and then on again very quickly gives a stronger forward boost....
Kind of hard to explain, but I guess that's how I should be doing it?
Started doing this yesterday as well, Shrine of Orix, right? I need about 60 more :/
That's pretty bad lol, DELETE THE EVIDENCE!

I find it hilarious that it took their own guys being screwed over by lag switchers for Bungie to actually do something about it. Better late then never I suppose.
If you're in a good team you don't actually need to hold two zones to win, whenever my group play control or IB we only capture the flag at our spawn than we go for the kills since we will kill much more of the enemy than they will of us. It's also to draw the opposition into a false pretence about the possibility of making a comeback, since they will have two flags, in order to prevent players on their team leaving the match.

Well even 331 is alright, the difference is miniscule.Fully as in Ascended? I have the whole skill set for the weapons I use (Spare Change .25, Zero Point LOPT and Dry Rot / Party Crasher +1), but I haven't applied Etheric Light on them.

You will find it enjoying if you play with people, it's frustrating alone...that's why I almost never play it solo. You can join right now by the way.
Funny when you come across Destiny YouTubers I've come across EnragedCinema, RelaxingEnd and several others on XBOX One.
Your mind immediately switches to try-hard mode. Because, yeah ... alot of those guys are great PvP players.
Stumbled upon RelaxingEnd in Trials. When our ticket was at 8-0 and our loss boon used. I thought to myself: "Well, goodbye Mercury!" ... but ended up winning 5-0. I think he was carrying people. He was the only one alive ... all the time.
I've encountered EnragedCinema (Prodigy) in PvP. Had some good laughs when he was in game-chat and showed me that the No Land Beyond is actually a pretty fun weapon to use.

The only time you can win with one control point is if the other team is really really bad.
To skate easily, just quickly tap the jump button about 7 times as fast as possible while using catapult as your jump for the fastest travel speed.

I've heard that better control should be used for skating, I'll try catapult today though.
Normally I'm not able to do it 7 times on/off but more like 3/4 times max.
Will play around some more
Thanks.Yep, that's how it is done.
As for ogre farming, decided to do some pulse farming first and then off to the shrine on normal.
I'd give Deej a lot of props of he took it in stride like that.
So Bungie has been sent thousands of videos of terrible laggers who are obviously lag switching and they do basically close to nothing for months and months and months, then these types of players are so prevalent that Bungie runs into a lot of them on their own broadcast and because of that and only that Bungie decides to immediately start a "ban party" that is probably temporary and will not really affect the horrible lag problems that makes the crucible not fun to play. Kthx
They really should have servers to host anything that is leaderboards based.
ToO and Iron Banner at least should have servers hosted by activision or bungie to make them more official.
While we are at changing things, lets get custom games, and lan support.

Maxing 3 green weapons with each bounty, then dismantling them, seems to be a good way once the nightfall bonus is available. I've actually been buying Uncommon special weapon and heavy weapon engrams from the Cryptarch to use for this. Max efficiency is getting wins in trials and then dismantling the ToO weapons from Vance. Once I've used these two strategies I've been keeping above 0 weapon parts. They're both kind of non-obvious though, bungie should just make the gunsmith sell parts at 250 a pop or something.Haha I enjoy playing with both sides now. This community is too awesome
We just need a method to obtain weapon parts easier. I do like that they put it there for rerolling if there was a method to obtain them with some decent frequency. My new Xbox account, I'm struggling terribly to level any of my guns up because I have no weapon parts. I have only 2 maxed guns.
It's pretty weird though because I had assumed the ToO weapon wouldn't dismantle to parts, since the Vanguard Armory weapons which are similarly cheap don't (even though the helm from the armory dismantles to class mats). Only found out about it when reading online.
Yup, dedicated servers for the hardcore modes would've been better but nope.
That's the way I see it. These aren't new problems that just popped up overnight. But then they get clowned on, and action is almost immediate. Go figure.

Anyone who wants to fight Skolas join up on me. Currently soloing it and while I'll get far, don't think I'll beat it psn kojirospath
psn kojirospathI wouldn't expect any rerolling like it is in HoW until later in Year 2. I also wouldn't expect Bungie to keep using the same tired materials like Sapphire Wire and Plasteel for armor upgrades. The economy has shifted a bunch already, and at this point that is one of the biggest problems in the economy.

That's why I'm only gonna spend half an hour here.
Last time I spent up to a hour and a half doing the side arms grimoire. Never again.
Just need less than 2000 now after spending 30 minutes farming. Gonna head to ogre farming now and do another 30 minutes later which will get me down to less than a 1000 for it.

I just finished my 10k kills with Pulse Rifles and I like them a lot better now.
I think you need to take it easier on yourself. You couldn't be worse than I was last night in IB. Averaged 3 kills and .3ish KDR, it was horrible. GAF guys are great, we had fun and got our IB reps up. And sorry to you guys for playing so crappie last night, not that I'm good but better than last night...

I just find them lacking - sound, impact and design isn't my thing. Wish I could use hand cannons for everything. They are just such a fun weapon group.
I think it may be time for a new PS4 destinyGAF signup list, and have it in the OP for newcomers.
The old one is still up, just has a large amount of people that no longer play destiny at this time.

He is rocking a 0.62K/D, all time.
The last game he played was 0.33
I think you probably can do better than that, so don't beat yourself up.

Thanks! Except for not having a cypher drop yet, I have all the exotics. I was lucky enough to have a Hypescotch drop two weeks ago after only 8 strikes, and it was a god roll too!
