Destiny |OT28| Nolan Beyond

Why does everyone here seem to know these famous destiny players? I had no idea there were so many. Looks up Lauren.

....I don't think my heart is healthy enough for deej and lace taken king stream. Must consult doctor.

never heard of laced up lauren before. based on the name, is it safe to google at work?
 
Shit, I'm not gonna make it through the weekend without playing, I'm a weirdo who likes bananas and it's a 3 day weekend... who am I kidding, Witcher just doesn't hold my interest much past an hour or two, I just think "I'd rather be playing Destiny!" Almost made it 3 weeks! Think it's my longest break yet :)

Gonna go ahead and preorder TTK CE, just a quick question in case anyone knows...
If I buy the TTK CE from Amazon will I get separate codes for everything? Basically I'd like to gift the TDB & HoW codes to someone who doesn't yet have them and is interested in TTK but not at that price point. If I preorder directly from Sony that would not be possible so I would be willing to go with Amazon to help a fellow Gaffer!

Oh, and yay to another way to make it harder for not so cool or god-like at the game peeps like me to find folks to play with :(
I just want to say that I also like bananas.
 
Just vanilla. The launch button turns red if there's anyone in the fireteam without the appropriate expansion permissions.

Fair enough thanks.

I'm trying to get him into it so we can play together...thought getting him vanilla would be the cheapest way to do it. He's getting Mad Max instead...

I like where you're going with this, but i feel a bit estranged. Having set playtimes has always been the downfall of getting a regular crew that I run with. Between family life and a weird work schedule I never fit into one of those categories. If I'm working weekends, I play at night eastern time and during the day on weekdays. None of the presets on the 100 have that option, and breaking up the GAF groups along the same line doesn't make sense to me.
You are ALWAYS free to text me, PM, or jump in my party chat bud.
Me too, man. I know that I'm always on at weird times for Americans, but feel free to jump in whenever and I'll always run shit with people.

"Over time" aka destiny year 8, PC exclusive.
Better than nothing! :D

I wasn't going to watch the next twitch stream but now I need to, for science.
 
Hmm, I see what you're saying. If you can't regularly schedule stuff in advance to begin with because of your personal schedule, it's not all that useful a resource in the first place- but if you do feel it would still be valuable to you, you're a good candidate to simply be in both groups.

Though I mean, per your specific issue of getting a regular group to play with because you can't adhere to set playtimes, I don't know how the100 or anything else really can resolve that issue exactly.

If there's a different way to organize it that would diminish it you can think of though, definitely hit me with it. I've been going over the info I have in front of me for hours and this is the best I've come up with.

I'm sure you're doing it the best way possible with the tools available, just throwing out a different scenario. As Gutz and Kurt pointed out, I'm not short on resources just based on my friend list. I just liked the play style and activity grouping vs time of day / week.

Big NF changes coming

Another thing we didn't like about the Year 1 Nightfall was how players could feel forced to play Nightfall as early as possible in the week to maximize the benefit from the Nightfall buff. So, we've shelved that buff until we can reform it into something closer to its original intent - a mark of prestige for having achieved something challenging. We've adjusted sources of XP and Reputation up to account for its absence.
Now Requires Level 40
Wiping no longer returns Fireteams to Orbit
Now uses 30 second time-out penalty for Death (same as Raid Normal)

Oh weekly update is up too.

Any recommendations on a shotgun for PVP? I seem to get killed by some people from quite a far distance. Only ones I've got is Matador 64, Hard Luck Charm and Invective.

You made a valid call, just wanted to make sure you knew you had at least one guy willing to game with you when you want.

I hear you. Totally kosher with me if you want to join both PS4 groups- just give it a day or so after you join one to join the other. Actually if you use an email filter to check out the listings instead of the site it'll almost be like you're in one big group (will post some instructions on doing this in Gmail).
Did a pvp100 group already go up??

DID I MISS ANOTHER ONE?! O_=
Nope not yet. It's coming!

I'm working on all that stuff and a nice presentation for it right now.

You've already got arguably the best one in the matador. Gotta reroll it for shot package and some range boosts to get to the range cap though.

“If you purchased the existing Digital Collector’s Edition, and you already owned Destiny and both expansion packs, we’ll have some additional information for you soon.”

We haven’t forgotten about you. We know who you are, and we’ve kept a list. We’ve also identified what we’re going to give you for your awesome early purchase. Unfortunately, it’s stuff that won’t be available immediately at launch. The use of the word “stuff” here is regrettably vague, but we think you’ll be pretty excited once you learn the details.

LOL Bungie is creating a new bull rush of people who will buy the digital CE for $80 even though they already own everything because they want this extra vague "stuff"... Whatever it is...

Wow that's some pretty significant changes to nightfalls and weeklies... And dailies.

I like it :)


Curious about strange coins.
 
Nightfall
Nightfall now Requires Level 40
Wiping no longer returns Fireteams to Orbit
Now uses 30 second time-out penalty for Death (same as Raid Normal)

Weekly Heroic
Replaced the Weekly Heroic Strikes with Vanguard Heroic
Requires Level 40
Accounts receive Legendary Marks for completing the first three Weekly Strikes
Removed the Weekly Cap on how many Legendary Marks can be earned.
Guarantee a Legendary Engram drop from a character's first clear of a Weekly Heroic Strike

Daily Heroic/Daily PVP
It's important to us that Destiny remain compatible with real life. Playing multiple characters can sometimes feel like a job or a chore, the Daily Heroic and Daily PVP often felt that way. So we increased their rewards and made them an account completion. We want players to choose which characters they want to play on and earn Legendary Marks on.

Update 2.0 marks the beginning of Destiny Year Two. We want to make sure you’re prepared when it drops, so Destiny Player Support is doing the most to ensure you know your foe. All Destiny players will be required to download and apply the Update to continue playing even if they do not purchase Destiny: The Taken King. Below are some of the big items to help you fully prepare for the update on September 8, 2015.

Man... the Nightfall revive is a pretty huge difficulty spike (even if you don't get punted to orbit any longer). I wonder what the new buff will od.
Guys we already agreed:

Destiny |OT♦Forever29| The Season Finale
