It's a good thing clans don't mean that much in this game because I just got kicked of my clan because I play too much with you guys instead of them.

Of course I do that, they play in the darkest hours of the night when I'm sleeping are struggle with the easiest of the raid encounters even when I tried to help them when we played together and tell them exactly what to do instead of sending then to youtube to learn the mechanics.

tldr: I'm clanless lol

I regularly forget clans are even a thing
 
Sorry Maomao but, this is the Tripmine of the week, all 3 bodies come flying out at once :d

MCC was like being repeatedly being punched in the boobs.

Man was that a heartbreaker. I'm not buying Halo 5 right away. Wait for reviews.

MCC's Campaign portion has always been solid for me, MP not as much.

I'd say if you're more interested in MP rather than SP then hold off on Halo 5. However, the beta test last year was pretty solid.

This gun..this vendor fucking gun...

Ever wish the last word can be spammed up close without worrying about your shots missing like 80% of the time due to the HC nerfs? Well look no further the vendor Ironwreath-D is your man!! Hot Swap and Zen moment combined with high stability and range makes it deadly accurate. See a douchebag running towards you with a shotgun? Whip this bad boy out and spammed bullets right at his face for the kill. Expect a enemy around the corner but at a short distance? The Ironwreath-D ensures your enemy won't be alive after that. Want to close in on your enemy but kill him at a lessy risky distance? The Ironfuckingwreath-D.(Vendor)

Had a lot of checkpoint issues with the SP. Heard it's fixed now, but they lost me quite awhile ago.

We'll see.

In my last IB game, just for assist bounty because I was 20 rep short for crucible...

I got the ship!!

In third place with 1.8 k.d ish, we dominated the game.

Minor gripe at best. Rare things should be rare. Overall end game is still much better, imo.

He has a point about the endgame loot not being worth a damn so far. I'll hold out for hard mode and Trials, but I'm not really impressed with any raid weapons aside from the LMG. It's also pretty lame that someone can get the Imago Loop with Fatebringer perks but mine can have useless perks.

A lot of the bad perks were coincidentally added when reforging became a thing.
They should revisit some of the ones they added and carefully remove them all.

You mean to tell me you don't like getting bonus accuracy after being revived?

So you're saying...buy it? Because I didn't buy it yet.

There's no way I'm going to finish this IB weekly of getting the top score. In all the games I've played this week the closest I've been is 2nd place overall score. I guess I'm just terrible. What a dumb weekly though, I get that IB is supposed to be about skill but come on.
 
Cocoon is the only interesting thing about the raid weapons. I would have loved to see some more interesting perks. Hopefully HM weapons bring them. As for the raid loot aesthetics? Perhaps they shouldn't let Hot Topic employees design them next time around.

What time zone you in? Being on the East Coast. First thing in the morning before work is when I can get decent scores. It is how I managed my one and only top score for that IB bounty. All the tweaker teens are asleep or at school.

Halo 5 is not going to be the genre defining game it used to be.

I plan on renting it some time for the story mode.

What makes you say that?

I would buy or rent Halo 5 if I owned an X1. But I don't want to buy an X1 simply because I don't want another console sitting in front of my television.

Is there a new ship, or the same Birth of History or whatever it's called IB ship from year 1?

Just got another Telesto then saw it was 310. Gonna infuse that shit.

Also whats your playtime guys? I just saw mine is nearing 900 hours. I didn't even play from January to August.

Don't know whether or not the info in the Bungie armory for inaccessible stuff right now can be taken as what is going to happen in the game.

Would be totally disappointing for them to give us the Black Spindle and let us infuse it etc, only to quickly take it away because it get's stuck at the old power levels.


....

I would say that the armory info could just indicate that no 330 Spindles, ToM, and SS will drop (which they can't) and that you can only upgrade their power via infusion (which would make sense).

All the exotics on the list in that article and in the armory that are upgraded to 330 are exactly the ones that can drop via RNG and are not tied to quests. (Minus possibly RD and Bad Juju but those could get patched.)

Let me pilot my own ship in space, and it's a fucking home run.

Let me have people walk around my ship, and keep my vault/inventory inside.... HNNNNGGG

I always figured the Halo Reach space battle mission was a hint at things to come in Destiny. Hopes and dreams, hopes and dreams.

I agree about the IB Sidearm. I hate them but I somewhat like this one. The perks make sense for sidearms, quickdraw and hot swap.

btw, also got full Neuroghast set now and gotta say its sweet with Thunderdevil.

Quest exotics need to be infused to go to higher power levels. Only engram and dropped exotics can start at 330. That's all the Armory info is saying IMO.

Which would make sense. It would be weird to limit the infusion levels of some exotics and not others. Wouldn't make sense.
 
This is a new one, and its much better looking than space bus:

Pfft you mean Big Birtha, and that little thing definitely sucks some balls in comparison.

It's all like oh look at me look at me I'm so tiny and fast and so sleek looking and WHAFFFFF DAGKGDJRRR HWFDJOH BIG BIRTHA SMASHHHH!!!!

Big Birtha wins again.

I would really love something like this for Destiny in the future. Just imagine actually flying to different destinations from the tower!

Check it!

1. Select one of your ships from the tower and load into space (que cut-scene where ship leaves into orbit).

2. Now while in orbit you can have new bounties available (transport, kill target, escort...etc)

3. While in orbit you select a new destination, fly to a warp gate and ZOOOOOM your off to a new planet zone/area where you can do other bounties or just land on the planet and go about your business.

I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I? Luke if your reading this ( I know you are ) something like this would be fucking amazing.

I feel that sidearms are very underrated in crucible. They do 40+ to body and 50+ to head but the fact they fire so fucking fast you can outbeat any primary weapons up close and probably a decent range if you aim good and have the right perks. The vendor Ironwreath sidearm is good because hotswap allows you hipfire and backpedal shoot accurately and zen moment allows you to ADS fire accurate too. This is like a spiritual successor to the pre nerf Last Word. It got overshadowed by shotguns and snipers.

Bleh, the nightfall dropped all three of us crappy legendaries, go figure.

I just struggled through the bond brothers strike at 290, seemed way harder than that though. Had my shotgun out and used it on the brothers.. Didn't get credit for the shotgun kill quest for Chaperone. What gives?

Have you got to land the absolute final blow?

I love how Big Bertha is still glitched. It should stay that way.

No, I think you either just have to carry a shotty or have to hit them once.

You'll get demolished up close by shotguns. At any sort of distance a pulse will demolish you. I would love for sidearms to be viable, anywhere, because they are fun to use. I just don't see it.

yes. last hit on them needs to be w/ a shotgun.

Is that really true though? Because I know for a fact I didn't. I tagged each one a few times with a shotgun then went back to my primary until it was over. I suppose my teammates could have.
 
I've been pretty lucky with legendary drops after reaching Rank 5 in Iron Banner, but I've yet to get the ship. Today's the last day. Don't let me down, Bungie.
