Dude is an animal.
It's the Urks characterization of the player base that you describe that's Disparaging IMO.

Checking destinytracker and just saw that my DTR crucible high skill is 50 (max) because of trials. Is this supposed to be a big deal? I kinda remember drizz posting about him getting it back in HoW.

It's a combo of skill (check) and playtime (check), so yeah, it's impressive.
I have my elo in the top 2%, but my playtime is so low that my skill rank is 24.

I wouldn't call it a big deal, it's more just a grind thing. Nobody knows their secret formula but your progression takes more individual stats like k/d into account. So anyone can get there eventually by playing lots but better players will get their faster. It's kinda like ELO where you lose rank by losing games but I don't think it accounts for stats of the players you beat (not sure on that). Afaik it's a holdover from Halo days. Still a good cumulative accomplishment.

I'm very good at watching my teammates play while I'm dead! Fun with friends though. Between that, Halo, and Rocket League I'm fine until Destiny produces some worthwhile content. How's the Division? I was on the fence with that one.

Trials with Drizz and Koro sounds like a great time.
If Koro is still up for it, we should run a card this weekend.

Next week is as well, since some schools will be next week instead.

Right on, that works for me. I can be an alt if somebody can't make it. And I'm totally up for Trials with any X1 folks whenever schedules work. It's fun getting to know you folks better at long last, haha.
For sure man. Not sure how many X1 folks are looking for Trials help, but between you, Koro, Trip, and Eric the streamer there should be plenty of potential helpers. Besides, everyone can farm Wiped's sweet sweet ELO for awhile longer. Although it did go up ~260 points in one weekend...

Wut mine was ~week weeks ago T_T
Bungie hates us.
Ha! I had some fun with the beta, but it didn't seem like a game anyone I knew was picking up. Plus The Division was more up my alley. I'm having a good time with it. Started playing with a couple people I played other games with and met some other fun people. Grouped up with a friend I used to play Destiny with on Sunday with his buddies for some super squad dark zone fun. Then some squeaker randomly joined some guy in the group and separated our squads
The game was just patched today, so I'll check out the DZ later after the dailies.If you end up picking it up I can always lend a hand to boost you up quick if you need it.
I get a little lost since work is busy now, but if I didn't mention it we were aiming for Friday night to run the raid.
It should be a trials map.

GG's fyre (and brother) Stormcaller's a world of fun in mayhem clash, with electrostatic mind your super is up about 20 seconds into the match :d If the grenades weren't so shit I'd happily swap from Sunsinger
I know the chances are slim but mayhem gaf on gaf would be a riot

Trials map where you kill the enemy team with Sparrows.
Managed to kill 5 people with sparrows. That was the only good thing about this map.
Anyway, based on Urk's comments on his twitter, I'm expecting disappointment for the April update.
The biggest problem is that they didn't straight up talk about what happened.
Something that's always been fun!

ELO 1560 on Xb1 = Rank 24,000
ELO 1577 on PS4 = Rank 34,000.
Closer to that sweet 1700. That'll probably take a few more weekends at least.
Before I put my try hard pants on, on January 18th, I was 1236.
On Sunday we faced some sweaty teams, a few 1900+ and 1 with 2x 2100+, and My ELO went up by 1, LOL. From 1522 to 1523. Then Monday it went to 1577. It's almost like they reward more for consecutive days or something. ( know it's calc'd somewhat by the team you beat's avg ELO, but yeah.)
Like this game for example. It didn't do anything for my ELO!

And people still say most of the good players are on X1 lol.
See I don't get why I'm called out on this. Ji66a is Mr. Destiny. Dude has been rocking 6 Alts and runs everything on both consoles. He is the real animal.
Even xplicit is more of an animal than me.
They all left for PS4

Yea, I have 6 maxed out chars including all 3 subclasses, for a total 18 maxed out subclasses. And all chars have completed all challenge modes and tons of trials with each.
PS4: 767 games of trials recorded (should be more because of my deleted warlock who played a ton)
XB1: 378 games of trials.
1145 games of Trials total at least.
I guess this also shows it:
Code:
1239h - 262h deleted
Makes up 7 weeks 2 days 15 hours 2 minutes 54 seconds.
6 active and 1 deleted characters.I just mainly play pvp and trials on both now. Ji66a raids and stuff on both still. I haven't raided since you first were able to on PS4 and we did the Golgy challenge.

I think Bungie rather have less people playing their game so they don't get as much criticism.

Bungie is doing that so they can throw the content hammer at us next month and hit us with that 6-month BOOM. Look at all this stuff you can do!
Tomorrow should be interesting to say the least.
But yea, lots of other games isn't a bad thing at all. I think they just have so much political crap that inhibits them from giving us info. At least that's what it seems like to me.
This 3-week Twitch video thing seems to be how they will continue to do things since it's obviously a pattern. Especially now that they're partnered.

Stark difference from the days of Halo, where they would have special playlists and people enjoyed playing Halo multiplayer...
They need to takes notes from division on the rotating stock of what the vendors are selling. It doesn't have to be daily but a weekly reset would be nice

Except for the HE blueprints vendor at BoO. His stuff didn't rotate -_-
Aka the most important endgame vendor ATM especially those that don't feel like grinding to DZ 50 (And I don't blame them).
But yea, for all the other vendors it's pretty damn awesome. I also love getting free mats for checking in now and then.

If I recall correctly, I actually did my run without dying. While you scrubbed up.
Light_Knight 1, Pandora 0, don't hate.
P.S. Kadey, since you're SF fan, any interest in T7?
I was pushed out into the oblivion!

Set up my Defender with Fun Police Build. We need to play some chill Crucible and you teach me how to shotgun. That way after we get Igor his Scarab, we can swap roles with me rushing and you snipe.

It's a start but I'm talking about all the other vendors. If they are not going to change then at least bring back the reforging.
It was really more of a shout out to the destiny sock rates in conjunction with simultaneous non-destiny game sock rates. Are these individuals also doing laundry on other games at these rates?
