Are you guys really giving the titan smash flak over other supers? I feel like it's the most situational and hardest to get into position for of all the supers. On most maps, you have to telegraph from so far away and outside of control flags or salvage caps, it isn't like there are often clusters of people packed together. That's why we save it to panic fist, if you try to use it proactively somewhere you get shot dead way before you're in range. Might as well just sit on it and troll someone for a denial kill.

I don't think there's a more guaranteed kill in the game than a Titan hitting a corner with super lol

Also, death from above fist of havoc on heavy is like.... unstoppable imo lmao

Its usage is really, really dependent on map awareness though. Just like anything that's AoE based. You can't treat it like the Golden Gun, where you spot a guy and say "he's gonna get killed to death". If you understand flanking, particularly how to get to the higher traffic areas through more than 2 or 3 ways, then you can blindside a crowd VERY easily. A map like Asylum in particular is a Titan paradise.

Watched Datto's video about new strike, his playthrough, and I just don't hear how Nolanbot is supposed to be better than Dinklebot. Nolan North sounds just as uninterested and flat, just extra monotone making him tad worse than Dinklage.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPOoTaWXoq0

The biggest problem has always been the writing, but... I really don't like what I've heard of Nolanbot either. Too high pitched and nasally, sounds annoying to me. Doesn't seem to fix the voice direction and delivery problems (still flat and uninterested like you said) but now the tone is worse imo.

That line at 1:45 in the video: "A tank? Why would you bring a tank to space?" The way he says tank, ehhh...

Y2 Thorn.
The horror.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

Sure. I'll log on, send me a PSN msg if I'm needed.



Yeah he just held the relic. Or used Super Good Advice maybe, haha.

Edit: the fastest way is to not use the relic bubble at all. Just drop the relic, fire two rockets, pick it back up to avoid a wipe, repeat. 6 Horns better than 5.

Join my party if you can plz.

This looks cool. I tried 100.io back when it was released but didn't feel like the quality of people was any different/better than LFG and it seemed clunky to find a match. It's hard to know when I'll get on (i.e. when my kids will go to sleep) and then it sucks waiting for things to get going.

I feel like nothing can beat the speed of finding a group through destinylfg.net, and that's the most important thing to me. Yeah, sometimes the group sucks and no one talks, but most of the time it's just normal people and the conversation is good. Some groups are excellent and hilarious. Unfortunately for Trials most competitive people are kinda douchey but I've just learned to live with it and enjoy winning. After Mercury I'll play new cards with whoever and drink and have fun.

This thread or a site like destinyLFG will always be better for just quickly establishing a group and hitting launch ASAP. They're really for different fireteam-building strategies. I'm hoping all of the above can coexist and work to eliminate some of the grouping issues- few and far between as they may be- that people within our community have had finding groups and especially ones that might be at odd hours or otherwise tricky to fill.

Having the option to choose between such OP strategies is a delight in and of itself.

"Will I melt the time-controlling alien robot god with this godkiller weapon or this godkiller weapon? Oh, what a cruel world to force me to make such decisions!"

Meanwhile, Atheon is in the background going, "Aw, c'mon! I'm supposed to be scary!"

this is a wonderful post and you are wonderful.

 

[Duebrithil]

These look excellent, would just using the inner part of the dead orbit logo let you have more freedom with the ends? eg: Omen of Chaos Emblem

That's a very good point. I'll do another one and see how it looks.

 

[EloquentM]

Well shit. Did we even talk about it in here?

BWU is usually around 3pm Bungie time.

the past two weeks it's been before 3 though ={

Thanks. Also wtf GI. How long many articles do you have left. Did they already blow their load or not? They must be getting a shit ton of clicks.

theyre riding on multiple orgasms now.

I think he is supposed to sound timid and scared and worried, compared to your guardian that seems to be calm and collected.

 

[Inapplicable]

What do you guys think of a PVP-Only the100.io group? Would it see use?

I need... let's say... eleven responses to gauge if it's worthwhile so please reply to this post. As I think about it, PvP is something I'd actually benefit from forming groups in advance for personally.

I'd probably use it for when I can't find people from SoM to play late at night but only for 3v3 gametypes.

 

[todd360]

You know what would be funny? What if we searched for destiny hate posts on gaf throughout the many destiny sucks threads collect any gamertags we see. Then we wait until the 15th and see if any of those people bought the dlc and are playing it. Then we make a thread on gaming side with the proof and eat popcorn while we watch the meltdowns. The best destiny shitposts we can find with people playing taken king will be hilarious.

Something like the call of duty steam boycott picture.

 

[Twilight Gap]

this map though

 

[Silvard]

I posted a new group on the100, let's see if it fills in time.

 

[Spoo]

With the 100io groups, can you join as many as you want? I'd like to be a member of at least 2, but I don't want to take up slots for others who need to get in (basically I'd like to make sure that the two friends I have who play with me, both gaffers, can be in the same group).

 

[LiK]

you're gonna snipe on that tree, aren't you?

A lot of people who were turned off from the initial game are interested in TTK now that many of their issues are being directly addressed. I think that's a good thing, nothing to call people out about.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Worthy top-of-the-page camp, it was awesome meeting you guys at Gamescom and Amsterdam!
Great to hear you enjoyed it and hopefully we'll meet again in Australia

Spoiler

Please don't let the spiders attack me while I'm getting kicked by a kangaroo

Roos are friendly. You can play football with them.

Spoiler

their foot your balls XD

Sorry DJ, a dingo ate EJ and all your stroopwafels

That dingo story is actually made up.

Also, I mainly had stroopwafels to spite Phaeton for torturing Drizzay with his Thunderlord drops all the time

 

[MixedBeverage]

I posted on the100 for VoG tonight around 6pm Central time, but thought I'd post it here also. I'm a level 28 Hunter and haven't done any raids yet. Anyone available?

Yeah, I mean, I feel like everyone at some point who plays Destiny has had a "rage" moment. Maybe it happened on a thread, in game, just with friends -- but everyone has been annoyed with Destiny at some point to some degree.

I remember being super burnt out on vanilla and questioning the design decisions among other things. Coming back into it, even now before 2.0, has been pretty sublime.

So gear is less of a factor in high level PvE this time around. The pressure is really on Bungie then this time around, it needs to be fun or else gamers will just play some other sci-fi fps this fall.

 

[GlamFM]

Time to change the topic

My final DGAF meetup of this trip, none other that our very own Sword Master aka Darth Penguin aka Dhruv!

That marks the end of this amazing trip, and I'll just finish by listing the DGAFers I met up with over the course of this month:


No0blet16
Gala aka Galavita
Lima aka Revolver Ned
GlamFM
EJROBINSON
TearsofBlood
Dhruv_hanom aka Darth Penguin

Had an amazing time and looking forward to meeting more splendid DGAF folk in the future!


Hon'ble mention: Deej and Lars @ Gamescomm

Also Fig who was a stone's throw away but apparently doesn't know how to swim

We didn't get enough time!

Let's do it again next year!

 

[Inapplicable]

As long as we can count on you in Trials and leave the revive snipes to me

But the revive snipes are mine, I'd have a sub 1K/D without them

I'll definitely be around for trials, fuck 6v6 gametypes though.

Can we do PoE 32 as well? If not that's ok, think there's another group going in 30 minutes so I can join them after we finish this 34 up. Need to get 1000 points for my Elder Cipher and I might as well get my weekly Cores while I'm at it.

Not all the first-year exotics will be available at launch, though the missing ones will be released over time. #Destiny #TakenKing

Smart use is key for all the supers I agree. In general though I would take razor's edge with blink over foh in most situations where foh is good, it's just so much more flexible. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the new stuff plays out in the pvp meta...hopefully somewhat balanced.

 

[Spoo]

So close to Xur day. (please have hawkmoon).

Also I finally watched the stream for the shield bros. I actually think it's a pretty neat strike, but wtf at bringing back the tank from mars strike :| Feels a bit lazy.

 

[RetroMG]

Do you maybe want to link it?

Looking for one more for PoE 34/32.

You would make a terrible christian.

lol. I sure would.

Because, sometimes if they don't see it spawn, the enemy think it's one of their teammates that has spawned it

I really wish certain things like this would indicate if they were hostile or not.

See a random bubble around, but no titan? Well, no real way to know if it's friendly or not.

 

[FyreWulff]

Nope! Not even wearing Saint 14 in that match. They just decided to get into my dome. Where I have Armor of Light once I come back to it.

That wasn't even Saint-14 shenanigans

something about a titan bubble will make even the most collected and skilled players lose their fucking minds and scream "I have to kill that motherfucker responsible for making this purple dome. He dies today. My order demands it."
