That grenade fail at 36 seconds is amazing.
Histogram that up my man, you lose progression as a dimension though but it'd be good for endgame. You can bin it by LL on the x axis and number of occurrences on the Y. I have a degree in probabilistic mathematics, I could have a field day with the data (;
I've had three drop and they've all been trash. Granted I have no idea what a good roll is for most weapons, but they seemed underwhelming.I sharded my Imaga Loop for marks

Hmm, i'm in a similar spot. I've been working on a project, haven't had a sat or sun off in months. Infact there's a festival on wednesday and I'll still be working, trying to make the program work in real time by friday.
That's not gonna happen
All my work is in AI and vision and i'm being paid peanuts for it. The plus side is that I'm treated like royalty and i've got to network with a lot of pioneering people in the field.
Isn't the loot that you get up to matter of opinion whether it's good or not?
Are you considering good loot light level of 315 or above? Exotic Drops good or bad if they are dupes?
I honestly don't know what to do for you, breezy. It's just too much hair.
edit: ...rngesus better give me something good for all this tomorrow.
Nami, I want a Santa hat on my Warlock.

It's really minor in the grand scheme of things, but it's super crazy that Eva hasn't sold the Winterborn Mark emblem in over 2 months (9/1/15). Since Taken King's release she has sold every other emblem multiple times, even the other really rare ones. For all practical intents and purposes it's really a non-issue, but just another of many many things going on with Destiny that I just don't understand how it happens. I can't think of any actual legitimate reason why they would want to specifically keep this one vendor emblem rare, so it becomes a question of is their vendor item selection actually literally random, is it manual and whoever is doing it just doesn't care, or what? I've gone from being really annoyed about it to becoming super fascinated by it the longer it goes without being sold, especially since she's sold all of the other "rare" emblems multiple times now. Like with so many other things with this game, I just don't understand lol.
Unless I'm 100% positive I nail this job interview later today or get the job on the spot (unlikely) I'm going to have to uninstall Destiny tomorrow to make room for Fallout 4 for my wife since this is a shared PS4 and the HDD is full >_>. You've got one goddamn job Eva.

I noticed that too, and it makes me reluctant to touch legacy engrams until they change it (if they ever do).

What's the story you want to tell? What's the question you want to answer?
Here are some ideas of data that could be graphed and the relevant question:
- Drops per activity of various type (Legacy Strikes vs Vanguard Strikes vs Heroic Strikes vs Crucible) -
Are the activities uniformly rewarding? - Drops per enemy -
Are drops coming more often from bosses or from mobs (and what tier or mob, yellow or white)? - Average Strike Length -
Is one strike considerable faster than the others? and thus better loot potential? - Difference in time & loot for the same strike Heroic vs Not -
Does Heroic offer better rewards at the increased difficulty & time commitment? - For the raid, odds of a drop vs shards vs nothing, normal & heroic
Why are shards a drop at all for Oryx? and why does Bungie not think that we should be rewarded for doing the most difficult activity in the game? and why on earth do I get 300 drops when I do get something? How does that help when there are 300 blues out there?
And for all drops it'd be interesting to see
- Light level
- Slot
- Item Tier (Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow)
- Decoded yes/ no
- Meta valuable perks
I still remember the time that Diablo 3 doubled the legendary drop rate for its anniversary and then everyone was like "this feels pretty good" and they just kept it there. Really highlights how stingy Destiny is.

Is Trials of Osiris running this weekend, too? How long does the event usually last?

Awesome suggestion. I was rattling my hungover brain trying to figure out what each axis should represent and what you say makes sense. At first, I was using a scatter plot with LL on Y and encounter on X. Maybe a histogram would be more accurate. I'll see what I can whip up.
At the moment, I'm collecting data that looks like the below in a database table. Note: This is all test data and I can type whatever I want in each of the fields, so everything's pretty malleable. Take this data as a grain of salt as far as loot goes since it's all test stuff (Some of these data is outright impossible), but hopefully you see what I'm trying to record. I dunno if there's other figures I should take into account.
Hunter | Daughters | Cloak | 319 | 11/03/2015
Warlock | Oryx | Auto Rifle | 304 | 10/23/2015
Titan | Totems | Fusion Rifle | 310 | 11/03/2015
Titan | Totems | Fusion Rifle | 310 | 11/03/2015
Warlock | Oryx | Auto Rifle | 310 | 11/03/2015
Hunter | Totems | Ghost | 319 | 11/03/2015
Titan | Golgoroth | Chest | 314 | 11/03/2015
Titan | Daughters | Mark | 313 | 11/04/2015
Warlock | Totems | Ghost | 301 | 11/04/2015
Titan | Totems | Ghost | 300 | 11/05/2015
Of course it's up to opinion. I'm just making an app to record data for the hell of it.

You could certainly do a 3 dimensional histogram as well if you want to do Y is LL, X is Encounter Type (NF, Golgoroth, Heroic, etc), and Z is number of occurrences. Ultimately you'll want more than just one plot to summarize everything (i.e. distinguishing between armor/weapon drops). Not sure how you'd handle no drops too, could just fudge it as a bin above 320 light level for now so as to not throw off the scale with a 0. Or just sum up all the occurrences/encounters and throw a drop percentage rate in the title.
I imagine Bungie already runs a lot of this but it'd be fun to see what our individual sample sizes yield.
I'd also do something about pulses. They have the same issued as the old hand cannons... being useful at long range makes them useful at any range. I feel like long range primaries need long range scopes. The should have zero AA at close range. Basically force guns to be viable only at intended ranges
The timing on this seems way too tight for farming reliably, though I appreciate the ingenuity.

Awesome! So cute!
Hmm. I've been focusing on KF NM/HM drops, ignoring shards entirely for the scope of my application. Your questions are some I definitely would like answered.
As far as the technical side of things, you've somewhat highlighted something I've been curious about since I started making this thing: would it be possible to track where and when loot drops for a guardian? That would definitely give me an excuse to mess with the Destiny Companion App's API. I know we have stuff like Destiny DB and apps that allow us to swap gear between alts and the vault, but are there actual loot tracking apps yet? I should look into this.

Thanks, so there's no specific time frame for how many weekends the event will take place? I'm just trying to play Elimination, but I'm not seeing it listed and I think Trials is the reason for that. I'm at that point in the Crucible quest-line.

I have a grand total of 3 psn friends playing Destiny right now.
That is all.
That is all.
I don't know why I can't find a successful GAF group for Oryx HM.
My regular group actually consists of players I met in LFG and we get it done without any problems.
DGAF pls.
I might give this a try. I use them on the level 36 list because I've noticed no benefit of running the heroics (other than that they're usually more enjoyable) but I suspect I've been wasting them due to using them too frequently.
Down into single figures for the first time in ages, and days left before I can buy more (and I'm feeling the lack of strange coins as well). D:

What strategy do you use? Ignore knights or kill knights?
I find that less people die while ignoring knights but the runner has to be super pro.
Scouts are fine as long range primaries. They aren't very good up close. Pulses should be more medium range.

Trials counts as elimination in some parts of the game, so you may give it a shot.

You should absolutely include shards because Bungie includes them as a primary drop from bosses. Which is such a kick in the shin. Shards would be a great secondary drop, but it's like getting 4 strange coins in a Year One Nightfall. Totally letdown.
As far as raid drops go, Light is the biggest thing. I think Bungie designed Raid loot to be good for doing the raid and for infusing. Top quality guns/weapons they want to come from drops elsewhere, but the drop rate is waaaay too low for that system to actually be working.
That would be cool, I suppose an API call could spot inventory/postmaster differences between the last call. But that is a brute force method. I wonder how frequently you can do API calls before Bungie gets annoyed?
Don't do it. I'll help (depending on timing). As will T-44.

The best shader for Graviton Forfeit is Nebula Glow. Nothing else comes close.

I'm partial to Graviton + Taniks + Chatterwhite myself.
Had an around 4 KDR and Phantom control match with the First Curse, but I don't quite get why/how. It must just be the extra range when ADSing making it more viable than most other hand cannons. And the slow fire rate means bloom has time to calm down before a follow up shot gets loosed, I guess. The accuracy cone/RNG bullets are easily the worst part of hand cannons now and range with a slower fire rate combats that a bit.
God, the gun is a total turd, but I seem to be doing well with it. I've never been so perplexed by an outcome as I am with the ~10 games I've First Cursed.
Graviton pairs well with the Dead Orbit cloak (regular and exotic) and all those shaders. I wear it with Chatterwhite a lot too.

Anyone try this? Does it work?
What does the guy mean "we have been told nobody is using 3oC correctly"? Did a Bungie dev make a comment somewhere?

I wish I were more knowledgeable about graphs and data. At the moment, I'm checking out the documentation for the library I'm using to handle graphs. They do allow histograms, but I dunno if this is developed enough to handle your suggestions:
http://www.pygal.org/en/latest/documentation/types/histogram.html
Basically, I don't know jack about graphs outside of what I learned in high school.
