Luke I recommended the one without the wifi adapter built in as an early set I bought with that feature built in kinda overheated.

They may be better now though.

I was under the assumption you already had another router or extender laying around, too. I'm a nerdgeekdork and assume everyone else is as well sometimes.

Tl:dr what you linked to should work
But there's a newer model $13 cheaper bro

Thanks buddy. Care to link the newer one, or give me the model #?

I need one w/ wifi because it's for a Fire TV stick. Despite having plenty of consoles capable of streaming, my wife prefers the clean look of just having the tv w/ the stick plugged into the back.

Played some TTK PvP today at gamescom. Played as Warlock

Spoiler

master race

. Stormcaller Super i found kind of meh.
But holy shit, the new warlock meelee has insane range, like about twice the range of the other subclasses. I was meeleeing guys from miles away.

Also first thing to happen was an error code lol

 

[Daemul]

289k people watching. Incredible.

There's 193k watching on Youtube, meaning there's just short of 500k people watching the livestream right now. It's absolutely insane.

Did you see the Hunter super in action?

 

[Blunoise]

So is this the 2.0 update? Cuz that would be nice

Linkin, you ain't linking. What's the link?

Not sure...

I dont THINK it is? Could be wrong

 

[PuMa]

Probably just prep maintenance.

2.0 will be out on September 15, when TTK launches.

Hello fellow nerdgeekdork

[JetBlackPanda]

I hope we get something to do in game before TTK comes out ala house of wolves chests. Right now besides PVP there isn't much that is worth doing.

Ugh still got like 3 hours before maintenance is over.

 

[KxoZz]

But did you get a Blacksmith shader? That's all that matters!

yes! and a sweet t-shirt that's too big for me and a free red bull

Did you see the Hunter super in action?

got supered by it a few times, it's like weight of darkness x20 and you die if you get directly hit by the arrow.
It's really only useful if you're pvping with friends

Oh, thought it was a Destiny stream. WoW? *closes tab*

 

[GutZ31]

I strongly disagree. Just the fact that if you leave then someone else would join your game mtakes the committment away. Whenever I plat crucible alone I quit even at the smallest reason (like wanting to post on GAF and reply to something)...but when I play with a group I don't do that.

The entire notion of checkpoints throws away any commitment even more when you have matchmaking. People leaving after checkpoint would be something we'd talk about.

Bottom line? The level of commitment just cannot be compared.

I am not against matcaking but I am against matchmaking on certain game odes/difficulty. I for one would never want matchmaking in trials for example.

This Is what it comes down to.

In Destiny's current form, matchmaking completely takes away the means to launch by yourself, or with a smaller number than max.
If they don't add a separate functioning button dedicated to matchmaking, it would be the worst move for raids.
This is not a top down shooter where the full map can be seen.
This is not a third person mmo with a huge FOV.

Everything you do and don't do has consequences in a raid, and everyone needs to be held accountable.
I think hawk had the right idea of just having a in game way of LFG where you can make a lobby of sorts with a title, and once it's filled up with people that meet the criteria needed to enter the lobby, the party is launched into the activity, like almost every other Mmo.

 

[Booya_base]

Assuming maintenance finishes roughly on time, is anyone up for a normal difficulty Vault raid? Me and my brother are hoping to do it for the first time tonight if we could get into a group.

Holy crap

Team of 6

5 Night stalkers

6th as a Hunter (naturally)

"Yeah we have the other team weighed down go get em"

This is just maintenance.

They never said it would launch on the TTK day. Most of there updates comes a few weeks before there DLC's launches

especially in mayhem
the slowness only lasts for about 5 seconds though

I just realized the asteroid you see in the opening cinematic is actually based on a real asteroid.

That's awesome.

Already imagining the chains of supers

There is a perk to increase its duration.
Also, expect an Exotic armor to specifically buff nightstalker abilitys

 

[KxoZz]

Also got a look at the first campaign mission that takes place on Phobos.
Don't know if there is a video of it out - haven't been keepong up lately. But it looks amazing. Much more than just "go here, defend this, while ghost opens this, repeat".

Some decent enemy variety aswell. Fire-spewing taken-knights, anti-shotgun plalanxes with shields that shoot energy beams.

Then you realize you used 3 supers to kill 6 players.

 

[Lee]

A team of 6 golden guns will break Mayhem. I'm having trouble seeing how anything can compete.

 

[kiguel182]

With all the hype about TTK there's one thing that kinda bothers me and it's the amount of new Strikes.

The original game didn't had a ton but I was expecting the expansion to at least have the same amount of strikes as the base game. It is my only disappointment so far since a big part of what I do in Destiny are strikes.

 

[phen0m24]

Ahh is each NS super just 2 arrows? Hmm

Immobile opponents/many orbs =might be worth it

 

[Tecnniqe]

Need 6 blade ninjas.

won't matter if you get an orb drop for each player captured.
wanna try that tomorrow or so

I'm trying so hard not to watch that campaign mission... must.... be....strong

Quality over Quantity. Let's just wait for the expansion to release.

3/4 brand new plus 3 reworked.

As an Xbox One player I think I get 5 or 6 brand new right?

 

[GutZ31]

Yeah someone leaked it yesterday.


We also have smoke grenades now.

The vanilla nightstalker melee(smoke grenade) will be similar to the Wizards sphere of darkness, with a perk to allow for DoT like the wizard.

I am partial to proximity though.

True. But quantity and quality can also be great

Totally forgot about the reworked.

And yes, the new 3 plus the 2 that were PS exclusive before.

If you watch it you can no longer be the face of the Hypenaught.

God the Nightstalker subclass looks awesome for pve and pretty good support class for pvp.

The new void fireish grenade locks nice for cutting off paths.

The vanilla nightstalker melee(smoke grenade) will be similar to the Wizards sphere of darkness, with a perk to allow for DoT like the wizard.

I am partial to proximity though.

Yep. The DoT reminds me of Thorn. Looks nice for finished off enemies.

 

[EJRobinson90]

It might have been the enemies' skill level but the Nightstalker super didn't seem to useful to me. I got slowed once and just shot the guy who casted it.

Spoiler

Then I stole three kills with one lightning burst, as expected from me

So you're saying it's a kill stealer.
