Signing on now. We still need one more for PoE 34.
I'll go. PSN: SilvardCT
I hope Bungie releases Xur figures for this weekend. Think I remember them doing that once when Ice Breaker was sold and the numbers seemed insane, can only imagine what these figures are going to be.
"It's funny, there's an interesting reaction, which is the opposite of what we wanted, because we're actually trying to create more viable options so you have more choices to pick from," says senior designer Sage Merrill. "There was a bug late in the development of Destiny where the trails didn't appear for the sub-munitions of Gjallarhorn, so you couldn't see what it was doing and it wasn't this spectacular display that it is now. However, the bug didn't get logged as, 'This doesn't look awesome." It got logged as 'isn't powerful enough.'"
This fun story gives us some insight into one of the reasons that Gjallarhorn might have become a dominating force among the Destiny community. Merrill went on to describe the intricacies of weapon balancing and why developers find it so tricky. A designer can't always trust the cold math that dictates a weapon's DPS, because our own human perceptions tinker with how a game feels balanced.

You finally picked up the No Land Beyond that was waiting for you at the postmaster?You guys will never guess what weapon I was finally able to pick up today
Blah blah blah
Gjallarhorn #1
Got it from a legendary engram 24 hours before Xur sold it for the first time. This was back when legendary engrams could get you blue shit.
Gjallarhorn #2
Christmas week. Went and did nightfall with Zoba. I told him I'm gonna get Gjallarhorn. I totally called it.
Gjallarhorn #3-6
Dismantled. I was an idiot.
Gjallarhorn #7
Legendary engram.
Gjallarhorn #8
Trials Silver package. I stole it from Todd weeks before he got it from the Mercury chest.
Gjallarhorn #9-10
I bought them this morning.

thats it,ANOTHER GAME INFORMER ARTICLE!

...about Gjallarhorn.
From the GI article linked above. I don't know what to do with this.
Thought those were two different exoticsSomething has just occurred to me.
With the TTK release, and the fact that the current speculation is that the Sleeper Simulant Exotic weapon is split into 50 different pieces aboard the Dreadnaught, someone's going to need to create a Google Doc and link it in the OP of OT|28| so we can update it for people looking for the parts.
Gotta catch 'em all, after all.
Haha yeah tried updating a bit for clarity sorry. Although fuck it, a Xur action figure would be pretty cool at this point.I want a Xûr figure.
Edit: oh..
Where have you been? Have you seen Narmer's disturbing post? I await some sort of Narmer gif for the next OT.
Narmer Quest9/9/14 - 8/14/15on PS4
On many a day and into the night
Narmer and friends went forth to fight
In disarray often, sensibilities tabled
As was often the case, Hard Mode enabled.
Once Bytestyle stood ready - yet trouble was brewing
Narmer charged forth from the room "What the !@#$ is he doing?"
Fearless his charge - all damage to absorb
After much swearing - he was naught but an orb
A foolhardy challenge - not exactly the brightest
Carry Narmer through Crota?!! Yet he proved not the lightest.
"I got this" he exclaimed charging forth at BOTH ogres
A soul in the sky marked that run as quite OVER.
With each enemy vanquished and ammo depleted
Not receiving THAT reward left our hero defeated
True fun was had, jokes left teams rollin!
But alas, all too often his precious was stolen.
He tried not to care - would congratulate the other
But would gladly have traded both father and mother
Why so elusive - just how can this be?
Many nights were spent cursing that foul R.N.G.
49 Fridays till that bright August morn
When Narmer bought his Gjallarhorn.
Go forth to battle! Solar burn all the turf!!
Enjoy for a while -till Luke brings the nerf.
so it was buffed because it didn't look cool enough when it went boom? a look int the minds of the creators I guess. live and learn
"I can overpower a gun just by adjusting the audio," says Merrill. "People will say, 'this gun is useless,' but then we change the audio to give at this huge sniper boom and the next day people will say, 'this gun is completely broken and overpowered.'" All we did was change the audio. It doesn't matter if guns are really balanced, it matters if they are perceived as being balanced. I could have a gun that is completely underpowered, but if everybody assumed it was really strong because it felt badass, we would probably still have to do some balancing to it."
I don't get it, if Ghorn was overpowered, why have they waited so long to fix it?
Ghjallerhorn isn't overpowered. Truth and Dragon's Breath are just painfully underpowered.

The legendary edition comes with dlc codes, you're fine

Did you miss what happened today?I don't get it, if Ghorn was overpowered, why have they waited so long to fix it?

Thought you were talking about action figures for a second there.
Anybody interested in a flawless raid tonight?
A+
10/10 would read again.
That AABB rhyme scheme is just fantastic. Walt Whitman and Pablo Neruda would be damn proud.
I still need to do flawless. Would be interested if we can get a group together.
I feel like some people at Bungie are completely fucking disconnected from the community. There are crazy intricate spreadsheets on DPS and TTK for every gun in this game, hundreds of videos regarding optimal rolls for every gun, and they act like we have the "perception of balance" of a fucking toddler.
Sorry. Rant over. This guy just sounds super condescending. We know which guns are overpowered and it has nothing to do with how they sound. We play this game every day ffs.
Okay, someone give me tips on Ash Factory Rerolling.
Currently I have Grenades and Horseshoes, Clown Cartridge, Heavy Payload, Fitted Stock and Single Point Sling.
I know G&H is the most important. Fitted Stock and SPS are probably useless on a RL.
Should I keep it with Clown Cartridge or try and get something else like Tripod or Tracking?
Count me in for a flawless run too. Summon the drizzard!How long are the gally freak outs going to last before we can actually get groups together again?
Cool, hopefully more are interested.
games like these need legends. Gjallarhorn was year one's and next month there will be another Gjallarhorn that is OP for the year.
