I'm LTTP (as usual) with this reply but what makes Zhalo special for me is when lightning starts arc'ing between several different enemies who are standing close and then you get that double kill and all the ammo comes back and your super bar jumps. It's a really cool positive feedback loop that I don't believe any other auto rifle has ever quite captured before.
And I'm not even really an auto rifle guy! But the Zhalo has a lot of personality and it is oh so useful when you have a bunch of trash mobs to deal with.
Just got a couple of engrams from 5 3oC's, should I wait until I'm 311+ before I encrypt them?
I don't remember getting a ship quest

What are the best shaders? I don't like most of the crappy ones I have. I only kinda like Tristese I think it is and then I just got substance 321 which looks pretty good on my hunter with the red cloaks. Other than that I always feel like I'm wearing some type of gaudy clown costume in most of my other shaders.
He's not. But it seemed somewhat analogous. If I found something game-breaking like that you guys are the first people I'd tell. If it made Bungie have to disable certain content temporarily I wouldn't feel responsible for that.

Drizzay....why you gotta cut me like that?
Well that is true.
I was gonna first load into HM and then leave and go to the Tower, and, even if there is no mission marker, I was gonna talk to Eris and the other vendors to see if a new quest pops up.
See you need me.

According to Jon Weisnewski this is information that they did want to include, however there were a couple of issues that prevented it from going into the full game.
1: It breaks the fourth wall. Stats like Range, Reload, Impact, and such can all be worked into the lore of the game as being real. Stats like aim assist, weapon swap time, and information that is more 'nitty gritty' feels somewhat out of place.
2: There's a finite amount of space in the weapon menus. You have the name of the gun, the type of gun, an icon for the gun, lore text, the perks, the attack and element. It's jam packed already.
Again, this is according to the Gameplay Designer.
Were you using Simmering Flames with a Sunbreaker and switched that to something else, like Cauterize?

Assuming you are doing Heroic KF this weekend and don't have a burning need for 310 infusion material, you might as well wait. Better safe than sorry.
Haha I know, I know. I love Warlocks. They're great. I've had mine for over a year now and grown very attached... but sometimes I can't help myself. We can't take this stuff too seriously after all.
The truth comes out.

I hate the range on it but yeah that and using an Arc double kill agility buff on it makes it pretty fun.
Is there a reason for that or are the swords just personal preference? Your ridiculous opinion is invalid regardless though. Arc sword is best sword (mainly because it's the one I have).

Something I thought about earlier is what weapons we are still missing from our new foundries. Where are:
Suros:
Hand Cannon
Sniper
Shotgun
Fusion rifle
Sidearm
Machine Gun
Omolon:
Auto Rifle
Pulse Rifle
Sidearm
Shotgun
Rocket Launcher
Machine Gun
Hakke:
Scout Rifle
Fusion Rifle
Rocket Launcher
Machine Gun
Anybody seen one of these variants in the wild? Especially the lack of machine guns by the new foundries seems an odd exclusion. I wonder if Bungie has some of these for a later update or if they were never around to begin with.

I certainly shouldn't frame it that he alone is responsible. Bungie is responsible for all of it. He is responsible only so far as a "but-for" relationship would allow him to be. I understand your sentiment, the phrase victim blaming just made me think you're opinion was more extreme than it is

You make the assumption that across a player base of millions that only one dude found it.

I don't understand the cap. We're putting in the play time to earn them, and you can't buy raid gear to boost your level...so why are we getting a cap on them?
Foundries are handled awkwardly to be honest, they should've been faction specific or something.
huh?
Still more love than Bungie will ever give to Titans.
Solar Sword = best for DPS yellow bars
Void Sword = best for several close together enemies
Arc Sword = best for PvP and far away enemies
I like them all.

It was a bit extreme, and not a totally fair comparison. You're ok in my book SH
Just don't start talking shit about my beloved Bolt-Caster and we're cool.Boring reality, but you're probably right. Though I think the community has mistakenly pinned the PVP-only tag on Bolt-Caster. It is great in certain spots. Love it at the Totems.

Wow, very interesting, thanks for the info!
I mean I completely disagree with both of their points but I can understand why they made them. It's a different relationship to the game than the one I take. Personally the strong aim assist in this game is so obvious that listing it in the menus is far from 4th wall breaking. I'm reminded every time my reticle goes flying off center whenever an enemy runs past the one I'm trying to shoot.
The menu space thing reminds me of the Grimoire cards. To me, having more game-related info in the game is great but there might be technical limitations I don't realize in addition to the design choices they're making. I can get all the same info on external websites but it'd be more fun in-game. Just tuck it away like a Mass Effect Codex, for crazy obsessives only.
Exactly! It's not a good or bad thing. It just is.
Oh man have you not heard the interview with Jon where he goes into awesome detail about the Range stat?!
