And the legendary marks made a good incentive to keep playing as well. And if you're rank 5 on 1 character, you can get drops on other characters from rank 0 on so that's also a nice bonus.
Yeeeeep. I suspect HM Oryx is going to implement the 'random runner' as well just like the current sisters encounter. If that's the case it's going to be incredibly punitive in combination w/ the DPS check in the first 2/3 weeks.
Collectors edition comes with emotes, exotic class items to help level and class specific shaders.

I was thinking this as well. Plus some quicker timers to stages etc. as well.
The CE has some extra digital stuff. Mostly cosmetic. But it does include exotic class items that enable to you level up faster.
They were the weapons I really enjoyed using even things like word of crota. I just like having the option of an elemental primary if I can. I think it's mistake on bungies part not to have them in the game or even like someone else suggested an item that could make any primary an elemental.
Agreed that's why I don't get the people that are against the elemental primaries. also the reason I don't see any reason to run hardmode other than the first time is because you don't need to be anything over 300 for other than hard mode.
The reason is they're the hardest weapons in the game to obtain for 95% of the playerbase.
And Taken Captains on floating platforms all over the map spamming those darkness orbs during any of the jumping stages
In all seriousness, I've been thinking about how to make the encounters more difficult without artificially increasing it by means of just adding higher level adds. I can see some opportunities for Golgoroth, and maybe Warpriest, but the others not so much. Will be really interesting to see the changes.
A Trials player also plays PVE. He didn't get to 300+ strictly playing PVP.
Some people just can't jump, no matter what. As in, if it's the sisters, and they are picked, it's an auto-wipe. I hope they don't add random runner to Oryx :\ I personally think jumping is easier fooling around with those angry ogres
Going by your other post, I'm guessing you're talking about ToO's reward weapons.
To your point: so what? Just give reward weapons with godly rolls and stats like Nirwen's Mercy.
The nightfall this week is an absolute clusterfuck given the rewards. Worse than arc burn Omnigul.
Ironically, this week's NF is the one where the Zhalo shines the most. ^^

By some people, you mean me
Actually my biggest problem isn't the platforming. It's once I've got the brand I'm so disoriented as to which way is which I end up running in the wrong direction. by the time I get where I'm supposed to go eveyone is dead from waiting for me.TheCanisDirus

Holy fuck that would be the worst thing ever! lol The blind bubbles are seriously my least favorite thing in the entire damn game... wouldnt be so bad if they couldnt just spam those fuckers at you with no delay!

The helmets have perks like more super on team revives and the boots have perks like higher agility when you're the last living member on your team.

So if you use Taikonaut with a RL with built-in tracking, it actually removes tracking?

lol wait.. does it really!? I finally pulled a Taikonaut this weekend... havent used it yet.

93% of my losses when playing with randoms is because of heavy ammo. When it drops, people go batshit crazy over it and then everything falls apart.

Oh god that ragdoll over the balcony. Amazing.
I don't know how they even make some of these bugs.
If Taikonaut {rocketlauncher.tracking * -1}
How can you look at something like that and NOT see a problem with it immediately?
Edit: same thing with the losing heavy ammo bug. They were pretty obviously calculating ammo based on your previous ammo count and fucking up order of operations. Programming 101 stuff.
Edit 2: and QA? How can you NOT test the *2* possible conditions the Taikonaut's signature perk relates to? 2!
Hahahaha, that's awesome!Thanks to Ruthless, Drizz, Bombastico, Akai and Gongmaster for the IB train.

Well, considering all the bounties requiring heavy weapons kills...
Always either that, nightstalker bow, Sun breaker hammer, or Conspiracy Theory D. Everyone's kind of forgotten about that after the hunter and titan supers being out of whack, but seriously, why nerf a shotgun range perk then give everyone a shotgun with the remaining two absurd range perks for free?
Yeah, it definitely incentivizes it, lol.

1) Thy heavy daily and weekly bounty
2) Many randoms don't look at their radar / surrounding to see if anyone is close and just pull it, so it makes people more inclined to gun towards it
3) When 1 team has both heavies, a mix of RL & MG usually, you just spawn and die instantly like 5 times in a row, while they own 2/3 points at least and the game just runs away from you at that point. Not to mention super chain that usually follows.
Heavy is almost like a Sunbreaking Titan. It can be a game changer

Nice, new Ahamkaras are amazing, I'm forever getting double kills or kills when I've forgotten about tripmines I've placed.
Edit I've got max discipline so it's a grenade in 25 secs from empty then half that for the second
A lingering issue with Destiny I've had is with how PvE and PvP are too tied together in terms of progression. A way to address this would've been to allow people to get 300+ light gear via PvP, probably on a weekly basis similar to how frequent people get raid gear. From my impression, it's silly to have to wait until Bungie allows events like Trials to happen so people can get higher light PvP focused gear when the raid can be done any time of the week up to three times.
I personally think Destiny, as a first-person shooter, should allow people to treat it as an outright competitive shooter (I'm looking at this from a vacuum though because there's way too many issues and too few features to fully allow this), and at the same time allow people to ignore the PvP aspect to focus solely on PvE. I've always found it strange that there's weapons and armor obviously geared toward PvE with perks where you get more orbs from non-Guardian kills, yet there's so few perks specifically for PvP.
I liked how SWTOR did it. People could hit max level in the game by doing PvP and never raid or do dungeons at all. You were given a PvP currency that you could use to buy PvP oriented gear. In SWTOR, all PvP gear had a specific stat that was used to calculate how much damage you did to other players or how much damage you received from them. Going into PvP with PvE gear would get people not being carried murdered since PvE gear didn't have this stat. Vice versa, PvP gear in PvE would suffice for the easier content, but PvP gear had lower base stats than the PvE gear, so you wouldn't go into the hard mode raids with PvP gear or else you'd get wrecked since that PvP stat isn't calculated at all against PvE mobs.
Of course, the stats in SWTOR had actual numbers to look at instead of bars so...

Just saw it posted on reddit. There's also a video showing how you lose tracking as soon as you switch weapons.
A guy was doing a slow walk guarding with a sword heading towards me but little did he know I had previously thrown a trip mine on the path he was taking. Sword shield does not stop a trip mine.
Bungie hire Homey.
Like it. I'm not doing anything 15 light lower but would be fun if rewards matched the challenge.Did anyone else notice this? Nice GB hehe "Visit Praedyth's crypt for all your raid needs" do we need runes to buy them or do we do something out of
bloodborne? OH crap don't give them ideas
Grabs X and Grim for Trials again...

I'm learning to jump. I forced myself with the warlock, which with the floaty jump seems easier. Here's what I do with the ogres. Following Twilight's lead, if i'm floating I stay on the top platforms and put three sniper rounds into each one's face. Those three plus whatever each platform guy does = dishes are done.
And the brand/runner guy should definitely have Touch of Malice and NOT SHOOT ORYX. Just use that unlimited ammo/double damage bullets to kill all the adds that are trying to kill all the bomb detonaters!!
ToM is so awesome in the bubble

I wouldn't mind a pvp mode with no heavy ammo. I always save my super to go over to the enemy's heavy spawn and fuck their shit right after they grab it. That way I get kills and eliminate heavy entirely. Too many people try to kill everyone before they grab it so they can grab it for themselves, but I've seen that backfire too many times and the enemy killing you and still grabbing it. It's not worth it.
The thirst for that ammo fucks with people's judgment.
Not to mention all the people who will grab it immediately even if they see other teammates running to grab it.
I avoid the entire ordeal.
