The previous raid sparrows are still better so not worth it. What a let down quest. Thought it would be something unique like a Red Bull class item. All these preorder goodies are garbage and next expansions and whatever people should not be excited for these kinds of things anymore.
I prefer the upgraded sparrows that don't have the overdrive, where you just have to hold the trigger.

The red bull sparrow is a trick sparrow with upgraded speed. I like it but since most of my patrol time is on dreadnaught, I never have an opportunity to use it.

And I just solo'd the taken wars stuff for a 3rd time so I can get my warlock a 310 artifact. Glad I won't ever have to so that again.
 
Also want to say, I do have everyone PMs so I still have your gaf and PSN name. I will go through the list again when I have time. Might be slower this time around. Once I do send the invite to everyone, I will send a PM to you just to let you know you should have gotten an invite. If not let me know :)

Anyone way to tell if we were purged other than actually booting up our system?
 
I still haven't seen that many people using the teleporter in Vertigo though, it is great for free wins when you do manage to capture. Rift is super frustrating when the randoms just camp your own capture point and pretend they are useful. The team that usually manages to camp the spark spawn point will usually win. Even if they can't get a capture, all the guaranteed bonuses from distance points can easily push them far ahead. On Bannerfall it is very easy to score as a double stealth Nightstalker. Grab the spark, stealth and run to the side of the map with the big tree. If you run on ground level along the edge of the map, it will allow you to come to the capture point from the back. Double stealth will let you get there completely unmolested. Just make sure no team mates are with you.

In general I absolutely hate CTF and its variants, I would not actually play rift if it wasn't the daily crucible.
Rift is not a variant of CTF, it's a variant of neutral bomb assault.

No idea, I know my PS app on my phone was just updated. But I have not open it yet. Well no worries, I am sure the familiar names and freq posters are fine such as yourself. Its the newer people such as from TTK thread on gaming side that are unknown to many of us. Dont want them to feel "abandon" or afraid of posting over here since they are new and DGAF is a pretty close knit community.

I hope I don't get purged :p

Rift is not CTF.

-Capture the Flag requires you to go to the enemy team's base and take their flag back to yours while defending them from taking yours.
-Neutral Flag requires you to capture a flag in the middle of the map and bring it to your base.
-Assault requires you to take your bomb to the enemy team's base and detonate it while preventing them from detonating theirs (basically reverse CTF)
-Neutral Bomb Assault requires you to capture a bomb in the middle of the map and bring it to their base (basically reverse neutral CTF)

Then there are one flag and one bomb variants. These are all gametypes Bungie had in Halo.

Rift is Neutral Bomb Assault except you can't hide the bomb on top of the tower on Valhalla because you only have a minute to score it.

Neutral Bomb Assault was always a shit gametype because the spawn system is always put under tremendous stress. At least with Neutral Bomb in Halo, you had to arm it and had a chance to disarm it.

Also, the maps in Halo weren't designed for Territories. All of Destiny's maps are built for Control so they do no geometrically support static spawning.
 
Yep, soloing darkblade strike on heroic cause the game paired me with two guys fragment hunting. :/

And didn't fill the game with replacements in the last 25 minutes. Anyone wanna join?

it involves playing rift, so I guess no.

I've done half of it and got the rare sparrow. Have to do 2 rift wins and 1 more strike to get the legendary sparrow.

What are you talking about?! Robinson and me did it like super easy for some sweet extraordinary loot!

Seriously, don't waste your time unless you want the sparrow for trick jump videos

There is just one more strike after the 3 rift wins, right? I'll end up doing it eventually....and dismantle the sweet sweet worthless sparrow.
 
Great job on that Oryx kill with the first timers! Once we got the strat down and I didn't get an anteater error, it was smooth sailing. Now to finish that OT...

how many peeps you got? Hawkian says once you go past a certain amount it starts to fuck up. might wanna purge people you don't play often with or chat with here.

600 aka too many lol. I need to purge some but always nervous about accidentally deleting the wrong person, I'd feel bad.

Thanks guys for the Oryx kill... it was my first time.

It was fun and I guess I understood the bomb part and all now.

Really nice run.

Got an PR 303 and a chest 305.

Can confirm my friends list do get fucked up sometimes. Around ~580ish

Last Word is fucking awful; how do people use this shit lol
Please don't remind me...how TLW was beaten to death with the nerf bat :(
 
Missed out on the thread for most of the day after the morning because work got really hectic. So uhh.. Trials in 2 weeks ehh.. I'll still attempt it because my love for the mode but my expectations are going to be a lot lower. I hope for it to be good. The nature of elimination is fun in and of itself so it will probably be ok.
 
I can't wait to raid for the first time this week. Hopefully I can find a team from here in about 9 hours!

My 310 1k Yard Stare with 2x extra sniper ammo gear is ready.

Alright, what goodies will Xur bring us this week? Anyone want to take a guess?

Feeling like we might see Monte Carlo this go around. I never found it year 1 so I'd be OK with that, though I kinda wanna see a new weapon exotic (besides Jade Rabbit!).
