Well... I mean there are 3 class specific exotics
Personally the variety of playing as each class is critical to maintaining my interest. I feel like it gives a full picture of "what Destiny is" and it's definitely important for understanding PvP.He called that shit a long time ago. I was really hoping with the frequent patches Bungie would have addressed it by now, but I guess it's not happening.
Hey I sent you a FR; Justlnsayne.
There are so many things raid weapons could have been, nay, should have been.
Shotgun that does an area of effect blast under the player at the same damage/impact of the gun on double kills.
Hand cannon that does a razers edge wave of damage equal to damage/impact of HC upon a headshot, body shot, headshot(or at achance if it procs too often).
Pulse rifles that can be shot like a scout rifle with all 3 rounds going out at the same time(slower fire rate if OP).
Scout rifle that shoots normally by pulling the trigger each time, but can be changed like a fusion rifle, and when fully charged, will fire 5 shots from the mag that spread similar to a low range shotgun.
Auto rifle that when swapped to, will act like it has infinite ammo(long cool down after first use).

I don't have Raze Lighter and Dark Drinker, true. But thats mainly because the quest is so shit. Otherwise I might've considered. If I could just grab the 2 other swords, infuse them and do Darkblade again it'll be cool.
As for classes, I had a 34 Warlock as well and played a good 100 hours with it but I could never really get to terms with it, In terms of movement and pure gunplay Hunter is my class.
I would disagree - the conversation can always use nuance.
I mean there are plenty of people who dislike the new matchmaking on the grounds that it makes Lighthouse harder and that if anything changes should be made to make it accessible to all.
I think it's worth mentioning that I hope they go back to the old system while explaining the rationale for it: connection quality is king. Whether it makes the mode harder or easier is irrelevant, it's all about the connection because it impacts the fun and experience directly.

yeah, I try to play other classes but i feel disabled without my titan jumps
see, this is the kind of stuff I wanted to avoid.
Xeno, the game isn't dead. The people who are bored (see part of the previous discussion) make up about 1% of all Destiny players.
If anything you just picked the wrong time to jump into the Destiny GAF thread.
The reason people here are getting 'bored' is because they've already poured hundreds, if not thousands of hours into the game.

I was actually talking about Tllaloc (Warlock), Ace of Spades (Hunter), and Fabian's Strategy (Titan) from hitting Gunsmith rank 3. You could get all 3 swords on one character if you played the alts just enough to get the legendary swords.
Luke mentioned in the Planet Destiny podcast that they were more focused on making new content than further revising Y1 strikes (he was asked about more Taken versions). Maybe the transition to MTs with a beefed up Live team will change that but it's all speculation now.
I'll join you.

Activision dude:
Expansions and micro transactions can coexist
They're aware we'll eat that stuff up because we the most engaged kids in town
No announcement on future content, but they've got plenty of options
I read this as him answering everything with a grin made out of money. which btw I don't think is a bad thing at all. A game that makes money is a game that satisfies consumers, necessarily.

Don't worry about it.
Frequent patches have never happened in Destiny's history. Get ready to wait for months.
Festival of the Found which will feature the Macarena and Gang Nam Style dances
Almost require a good/bad dichotomy betrayer/not betrayer forums
I tend to be realistic/slightly pessimistic and don't mean to. I still like the game (!!!) it is just bringing on feelings of fatigue now.
Ubisoft. Watch Dogs. Downgrade imminent.
They just broke records with TTK and I'm sure the silver sales would cause us all to blush. They're probably in some huge room (counting money jk) trying to figure out how they could push out meaningful content in any sort of realistic (read:soonish) timetable. Unlikely. Just some eventual big writeup in an update or a new carefully edited (read: Zoba-proof) vidoc. "Can't wait to show your what we have planned for Destiny 2. It's gonna blow your mind$!"
Tl;dr flush with cash and can't put it to work immediately, they make grand promises for the future... eventually

Honestly, I hope they're working on Destiny 2 now. It's not that far off!

I'd pay for the Macarena.
I'd pay for Gangnam Style.
I'd pay for Smooth Criminal.
I'd pay for twerking.

Yeah I'm not too worried about it. This is my shooter game for the foreseeable future regardless of what other people are doing. I just can't get into Halo 5 unfortunately.
I'll join you if you've got a spot.

Nah, it's always a good time. That just means there's plenty of stuff for you to do. Lord knows I'll always be here if you need help.
Said it many times but bears repeating: TTK is great. I like it a lot. Tons of fun stuff, tons of improvements. But the endgame is bad and most everyone here is firmly entrenched in the end game. We have a skewed view but it's still important for the larger player base. We're the canary in the coal mine that warns of trouble ahead for casual players. We're just the first people to recognize where the systems break down.
Yeah you make a really good point about how future content motivates the current activity. I was happy to grind out 310 exotics to infuse up for HM KF but there's nothing to grind now. Trials only has a chance for 310+ exotics and then 310+ primaries at Mercury.

I got my very first Scout today!
305 normal scout w life support :-/
Other than that past couple weeks, there was a patch or hotfix every week since Taken King launched.
Bigger patch coming sometime around mid November I think.
They never said MTs would fund the DLC. They said MTs would fund the "live team".
A kotaku article with un-named sources said that MTs would fund the DLC and that it would all be free. Bungie nor Acti never commented on the article.

If Drizz says it, then it must be true! Thanks bruh!

They only do that when there's an exploit or something they need to fix like the recent Nightstalker super glitch. Quiver is still broken which is kinda shocking. I really wish they would release balancing patches frequently.

Hey Drizz! Did the reset scrub team finish 3x raids today? How was the loot? Are the ZW bros 319 yet? Why is ji66a not playing halo5?
Will QoL be enough?
Weapon parts buff?
If they "fix" the raid drops we'll all be broken records once we hit 320.
Thanks man. I'm a crazy person who is going to attempt to manage two different characters on two different platforms, but I'll hit you up if I need help on PSN.
I hear you on the endgame. FFXIV's endgame is ass right now, which is part of the reason I'm playing a bunch of different games now. I would still recommend the game to anyone, but the endgame sucks and there's really not a lot on the horizon to look forward to.
That's fine. It showed they were staying on top of things and setting the standard for Y2. It's a shame it fell apart so quickly.
No one at Bungie/Activision bothered to correct that article when it was released though. It sure was in their best interest to wait until now to clear the air.

That's exactly the reason I unsubbed from FFXIV a few months ago. Doing Fractal and Neverreap for Esoterics every week is just not something I want to do. Alex savage is pretty nasty too and I hate the token system. It's just not fun for me. Destiny doesn't have a monthly sub so the endgame is kinda tolerable.
What difference does it make? If you like a dance you buy it. If you don't think it's worth it you don't.
How does DLC in the future have anything to do with that? Unless you're suggesting some people bought a dance thinking that made them an angel investor putting money into unannounced content leaked by a journalist but never confirmed or even acknowledged by the publisher or developer.
