I miss the old shader system. Class items take Shaders. Exotics don't. Silver wings are the hottest wings.
All my class items look terrible. Especially that damned neon green one.
Pull a tool from the Halo 3 tool belt, and embrace the BR nature of them: add bullet spread. One bullet fires dead on, the others fan out slightly as the distance increases, to limit their effective range. Maybe it's already there and I haven't noticed, but it seems like whatever spread is in place is from the recoil, not underlying trajectories.
If I had to guess I would say they'll probably nerf base damage and leave everything else alone. Who knows. I'm pretty cynical about Bungie's abilites here. Although they did do a good job getting ARs to somewhat of a sweet spot.
Titan Class Items by and large are pretty awful. I prefer the smaller, less gaudy ones like Spirit of Saturn.

I've said since Day 1 that this should be a stat for pulse rifles.

Patently untrue. The Speaker's Legendary one's didn't. Everything else did. Check these out:
I actually think many Titan marks are excellent. I loved this one:
That mark + Cryptographic. Gold & white armor and that mark became a royal red. I was sharp as hell. Here's the concept art for Titan marks. I want more of this please:

that pilgrim guard mark looks similar to the new monarchy exotic mark
I like the way it looks

right..
my rage made me forget about those.
Who the hell decided to make everything pvp related neon green anyway. The HM shader too?!
Instead of that weird ass neon green highlights on the HM shader they should have replaced those parts with the Taken Ghost shell-shader. Would have been amazing.
I may be WAY OFF here, but my impression from all these balancing revelations that rarely come out of Bungie is that there seems to be a limited amount of knobs and dials in their current weapon system that can easily be adjusted. All the more detailed attributes seem tied up or consolidated with other, more broad variables so it limits how creative they can get with changes without rewriting the code base. We may not see play with what you're suggesting until Destiny 2.

Yeah I just hate the way the split marks look on my female titan.

Still need one? I'm hopping on now anyway. PSN shiv2099
I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case. They may have developed a set of universal knobs for all weapon archetypes, while that would require a unique one for pulse rifles.

Two characters done this week and still pure stagnation. Never had a helmet or gauntlet drop yet after 11 HM clears, across 3 different characters.

I hear ya...missing the helmet and I've done HM 3X on all three chars since release. My entire raid crew has the shader. They laugh and make fun of me. It hurts.
The whole not knowing what's coming next is what has me the most worried about the immediate future. At least in February, we knew House of Wolves was on the horizon for no later than late spring. We didn't necessarily know what it would be, but we knew we were getting SOMETHING. In year one they did a decent job of keeping some sort of hype cycle. Throw us a bone guys.

Fuck. I should have gotten my Oryx kill when I had the chance. No one is playing this anymore.
No lie, but sometimes I sit here and see that people want to do King's Fall(well, not recently), whether entirely or only parts of it and I have to think REALLY fucking hard whether I want to volunteer. I want to do it because I'm bored and I still need a raid helmet to get the shader, but the chances of shit going smoothly are so damn low. This raid is just so unforgiving. I hate to say it, but I dislike it more than Crota. Crota was uninspired, but it let you make mistakes. Every time I do this raid I'm not sure how long it's going to take or if I'm even going to finish it.
I'm just not into the "die a shitload of times" difficulty. It's not fun and after doing it I don't feel any accomplishment.
The whole thing is mostly joyless. You can give me an entire 320 raid set for beating Oryx, but after wiping 30 times in a row I won't give a shit because it was a hassle.
Wiping over and over is its own kind of joyless grind.
But I still do it because sometimes things do go well and smoothly. I have hope that things will align and me and the people I play with won't make too many mistakes and/or the game won't fuck us over randomly with its bugs and/or random occurrences. It's such a kick in the balls that a VERY imperfect game asks us to be perfect.
Or maybe I have rose tinted glasses and I miss playing with my clan. They've all moved on. Who knows.

Edit: I'm also in the "No Helmet" club. Feels bad, man.

Knowing that patches are coming to tune existing content isn't the same as knowing that a content drop is coming. Even something as simple as refreshing all the vendor gear in December would be cool. Doesn't even have to be higher light. Just give us new stuff to look at.

Perfect summation of why I stopped raiding. Only one way to succeed and no margin for failure. Failing in that scenario isn't fun.
Failing in Dark Souls is still enjoyable, rewarding. Instructional. Same for Monster Hunter.
Getting failure just right is hard.

This hurt to read. And I imagine that everyone who doesn't have a dedicated group to raid with goes through the same thing each week.
Excellent thanks
Hopefully you have some treasure keys too but you get coins from the little chests and the big chest.Excellent thanks

Artifacts are class specific.
But CoO is probably the best place to get them from my experience. You can also do the quest from Eris for the 300 artifact too.
Halo 3 had a non-hitscan BR, the worst in the series. Pls no.

So Xur is from an alien race called The Nine.
What about the other numbered races?
Are The Nine a race? Or a faction?

They aren't though.
Aetheon could be downed by 4.
Crota could be downed by 1...
Oryx has been downed by 2 people I believe.
People just choose to disengage because it's "easier" than having to pick up someone else's slack.
Xur is most likely Jovians, but the lore doesnt really give any detail of what that even means.
As far as I know, you can pull more shenanigans with a warlock revive on Atheon (making it theoretically possible to down him with two people)
Interesting that Jovian is the name for all the Jupiter Moons

I've seen Aetheon solo'd but it requires a very specific sub-class to do it, so not everyone can do it, thus I left it out.
Crota could be solo'd by anyone.
Edit: Even Skolas was solo'd
