The wording gots me hyped. I'm also impressed how very close they keep true to the conceptual artwork.

Darkblade. So edgy. Reminds me of Darkstar.
He is of the night.
Someone in here gets it.

Iron Banner is fucking awesome. No lag and tons of fun.
Don't play Iron Banner.

All ghosts! My grimoire is 3505 and all that without grinding anything. Just normal play. Well, minus grinding the ghosts of course! Any IB trains going? I will be ready in 30 mins or so...I need to run to the store really fast.

Really?
I've lived long enough to become the villain
Well the ones they showed of course side by side.

Watching that video on the BWU reminded me of how OP blink really is in PvP.
People who use blink all the time don't want to hear this, of course. They're going to defend it like anyone would whose been given a magic bullet to get them out of trouble and instantly get in your face with a shotgun.
But, it's broken. In the hands of someone really skilled, there's no way to counter it - and even if there is, it puts you on a purely defensive footing. Get a team of 3 in trials and they just rack up the kills and blade dance all over your face.
I can't recall Bungie doing anything to nerf actual character abilities (I could be wrong, my memory isn't that great) but I can't imagine them doing it. Messing with weapons, which you can choose to use or not is one thing - but I'd be very surprised if after all this time with blink, they decided to change it at all.
I know this sounds like a complaint. It's not - at all. But balance seems to be the reason that Bungie does some things I will never understand. Prime example - allowing warlocks to fistfight with Titans and get an overshield just for throwing a punch.
This gives them a fighting chance of not being flattened (after all, someone wearing a bathrobe shouldn't beat someone wearing a refrigerator in a fistfight). Maybe my titans just suck at melee, but I lose more fistfights with warlocks than I win for this reason.
There's no balanced response to blink when it's used with a shotgun. Good blinkers win that fight pretty much every time. And it makes the battles boring.

Any other DGAFers thinking about getting the Destiny console?

What's an othergame? Must be something the kids are into, like an Instagram.
Re: Weekly Update. Love the stuff about new Patrol mechanics and lots of secrets to uncover. I can see myself spending a lot of time exploring for secrets. I'm imagining party chats with 8 DGAFers shouting and talking over each other, hypothesizing possible solutions.
The concept art to in-game pictures looked great. Not sure why they would seem unrepresentative, except for places where they clearly decided to go a different direction with the design. Also excited for the Twitch stream since I want any head start on secret discovery I can get.

For sure! That sounds so good. Only thing that made me cautious is the talk of what sounds like the 'something new every day' talk we got early on. We know how that turned out, I'm surprised to hear them using language even close to that.
But optimistic just the same. They're letting us know we are going to hear from people who've played the game, and they sound confident. That's good!

For sure. I'm glad they put effort into revitalizing patrol. This sounds very awesome

100% agree
they have said that Blink is being reworked for TTK, which is awesome imo.

Witcher 3 is so good. I'm almost at the end but I keep doing side stuff instead of finishing it.

Did you play the previous Witchers?
Thanks for the run again!

I didn't hear that. Sounds like a good thing. I'm hopeful then.
I don't mind losing to a good fight - heck, thats fun too. But I'd like it to be a reasonably fair fight if possible.

I played through 2 on 360 but never the first one as I don't game on PC and it sounded kinda obtuse. Playing the third it seems you don't miss too much story wise. I've ran into characters from previous games but the plot is separate for each one.
Join our train.
I'm down for uno.

Bungie should do a Warzone like game mode that 343 design. Player v NPC v Player
