But on the plus side, you can use Thorn!
...wait, nvm. Based on impressions here, back to Steam I go. Undisclosed Summer event is our only hope left.

I would have liked Bungie more if they would have come out and said "we're gonna sell you expensive emotes and dress up the tower a few times a year and give you a small number of extremely low effort PvP events but otherwise your on your own until Destiny 2" ... instead how I feel now based upon what they said is mislead ...
Back in 2015, Deej hyped up the "live team" and made it sound like they were "fully supporting" Destiny with TTK with actual real "free content" in year 2. People felt like buying emotes made them angel investors for the second raid of year 2 that they "knew" was going to be free. Bungie did nothing to deny that Kotaku article that made all of us feel like we were gonna get some real additional content this year. LMAO

All I am hoping for at this point is MAYBE they remix some of the other strikes, or update the old raids... or something!

Good games Sushi! He's the true winner tonight because he got one of everything!
Put me down for VERY disappointed with this "event".
Crimson Double just doesn't work. The special ammo changes don't help either.
I suspect Trials will be a bit better because it's 3v3 and the matches will last a bit longer.

Back when they announced MT's
I was thinking this could happen. The MT's count as 'content' and the actual dripfeed isn't really worth it.
Microtransactions are truly the darkest timeline.

I played all night and got 1 shader. Of course my friend that sucks so hard grabs both shaders and both ghosts in like 10 matches.

We still won the next round and match!You're right
Did anyone C/P the chat when that happened? I bet their was some laughs to be had there.
This is what Crimson is like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo_mVOaILqo
And mode brings out the worst people. Every team is teabagging or acting like morons. I rarely get hate mail but I've gotten a few today.

Tbh, Icebreaker > Thorn. They always rush because they think you don't have special ammo either.
To be fair, I almost pulled an "Ape" playing CD earlier with Kadey, but I moved forward lulzNeOak

Great games Apes! Hopefully see you for Trials this weekend.
Pretty much this^ Either one team holds back or both go bomb rushing in at one point with one person coming out the survivor. Really didn't enjoy this mode.

Oh and my god the secondary ammo shit is a mess right now. I'm convinced then didn't even play test it before launching it to us. It sucks so hard right now and can be gamed so easily.

I am loving Crimson Doubles. Nice fun little mode to celebrate a nice little holiday.
The playerbase is so irritable over the lack of DLC that this poor event is getting slammed so hard.
Oh well, I enjoy it. And the Tower is so preeeetty.

IB or HB?
I played a bit more tonight and never got into matches as sweaty as ours--I think we got colossally unlucky earlier!
I sent someone a GG the other day. They sent a voice message telling me they could speak a little english, but not read it, and wondered what it meant. I sent back that it meant good game and received a smiley face.
It was a while ago and I'm paraphrasing a bit, but that was the gist. It was nice.
I decided to run some more CD if anyone is looking. I'll be in orbit or playing freelance.

How long are you on for? I could do a few games.
Just had an entire Oryx encounter tak place where everything moved at half speed and got progressively slower. Eventually wiped when the pillars took so long to activate that we kept jumping on them getting them out of order. Saved the clip, will post this week. It was hilarious.

How much of a tryhard asshole do you have to be to lagswitch in a crimson doubles match?
Everything was fine till the 4-3 round when the ramlock turned on his lagswitch

Load up the mission, i'll join you in a few minutes.
I can after I help with the malice mission. I don't care about winning though...

Good games pity. All characters, all done. 3 free emotes and a bunch of useless legendaries. Shaders aren't that great looking, the emblem and ghosts are the best things about it.
This mode is way too intense to play all the time. I think it would be fine in spurts.
My sniping was on point. This is the game where I literally had a super in each round except the first thanks to camping.

I wonder how Destiny players would do playing WoW, which is frequently propped up by the Destiny community as a paragon of what Bungie should be doing, it has SO MUCH content and SO MANY updates after all...
Meanwhile, in reality, the last WoW raid was released June 23rd. The next one won't be until September. That's 14 months. 14 months with a subscription to pay.

Thank you Galactic and Ruthless for helping me with my questing
Enjoy that touch of malice
Read the lore about it if you can, it's pretty interesting.
i don't understand, you're having trouble killing the oracles?

A lot played WoW before that, including me (Vanilla up until WotLK). The current WoW situation is abnormal tbh.
Great run! We slaughtered a few of those teams, haha. No event specific drops for either of us, but you did get two poop colored Crucible guns. So there's that.

I really want to like this games pvp but its straight ASS, a step back from halo in almost every single way possible. Hope Destiny 2 has BIG changes.

lol, that's actually kind of brilliant. Who wants to do this with me for the drops
If you are serious, I could actually do that while I work on some stuff. Will be online soon (~30 min?).

True, but WoW has such a wealth of older content that many, many people grind out for rep, mounts, tabards and titles. It has, for the longest time, had these big gaps between the last raid of the expac and the new expansion dropping. Blizzard do attempt to negate this however with most regular players being flagged at some point to try out the Alpha/Beta for the next expac which allows for most hardcore players to have a pretty consistent source of hype. Plus considering we are talking about the hardcore players here, even if they stay subscribed for 14 mnths they have a consistent flow of gold to be able to purchase a wow token which float between 24 - 36k. So I don't think the comparison to WoW is brought up in a sense of a game with tons of content but more in the sense of a game that has a consistent stream of things to do for the life of the epxac and it has a developer, that for the most part, keeps giving info to the community, something which in my opinion Bungie could do better.

I'd be up for later on today, I'm in central time zone (US) and it's around 2:30 am so I think I'm going to call it a night for now

Would it be possible for them to make that a perk that only works in PVE to save us from seeing everybody using IB to get around the special ammo fix?

So I played Destiny again last night, been awhile since I last played, got burnt out and the lack of new content just made it hard to return to it.
Crimson doubles I guess was fun but every match was a sweaty, now I guess my game is off as I have not played the game in a while. I got 2 shaders within 20 minutes then I stopped playing. Me and my friend both said, nope destiny still lacks new content of value and it didnt draw us back in as i had hoped it would. I love destiny, I´m a year one player, have over 1500 hours invested in this game, hell its the only game i played since it came out, well up until the Closed Beta for The Division.
Anyway, this got me thinking. If this is what bungie had in mind with their 10 year plan of destiny, then I feel they are going to lose most of their playerbase. The new DLC is just not arriving fast enough. year Two have been very slow and they need to speed things up.
Hopefully Bungie are neck deep in D2 production to be released very soon and have shorter time between DLC´s. I think people will just move on to something else if not. They also need to move onto next gen completely and I guess they have done that with D2?
I love Destiny and I want to be immersed once again, the gun play and control is just so good but at the moment it´s not pulling me back in with these new timed events or PVP.
Bring me good news fellow gaffers, tell me the future will be brighter. or maybe its time to go out and get myself a girlfriend and do something else with my life haha.

Was a lot of fun!
We realized we both:
* Had FWC shaders, emblems, class items and ships.
* Had just started the FWC exotic quest on our characters.
* Had the first bump emote equipped.
We didn't plan it. And we fist bumped our way to glory.
