For those DGAFers who use a Vita for remote play, how is the experience? My wife and I are expecting our first child in a few weeks and I'm debating picking up a refurbed OLED Vita to be able to just grind some PVE stuff while in the hospital and also while my wife hogs the TV at night time.

Will I need a memory card just for remote play?

This man

approves the Vita life. Ofcourse overall satisfaction will be based on how good a WiFi connection you have.

Bungie did a great job mapping controls for Vita Remote Play. Grinding PvE is so comfortable and you can even do some strikes with friends if they are understanding that your connection may not be the best. I've done it in hotel rooms, coffee shops, friends' houses.

Just make sure that you ethernet the PS4 to the router and have a strong/stable connection (wifi or phone hotspot) at hospital. This will help reduce the lag and disconnects

And don't forget to pair the Vita to the PS4 before the big day... Be a shame to be at the hospital and realize you can't connect to your PS4 because you forget to pair them ahead of time.

There will be a Newbie Vault of Glass tomorrow at 9pm: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DcCXWHn5EYFKlJmPjawNCHovK8v9IrBORo3WrcPfTE8/viewform?usp=send_form

Good opportunity to see it if you never have before or revisit the Vault and play with some Year 1 weapons for nostalgia's sake.

Pretty nice replacement to my quest CT-D I’ve been rocking since TTK PS4 launch; Two To The Morgue w/ Rangefinder and Danger Close, Field Choke and Rifled Barrel. Aggressive Ballistics would probably make it perfect but it still OHK’s just fine and I’m enjoying the handling boost. I'm with Wiped in that I wouldn't know what to do with a good sniper roll but shotguns speak to me.

 

[deviant1]

Thanks for the input guys, I decided to pull the trigger on the Vita. It will be used mainly for Destiny remote play but I have quite a few PS+ Vita games I have acquired that should make it a worthwhile purchase.

If you have PS+ games acquired, then you will definitely need a memory card.

 

[deviant1]

So are the Totems and CoE my only options for a high light ghost shell? Stupid 320 ghost is holding me back on all my characters.

I picked up a bundle with an 8GB card and 2 games for $150.

Watching hudless run.
Also just bought a vita. Shouts to LT

*high-five!

The Nightfall can drop one as well based on your LL, so you'd be one of the few happy for a shell drop. Farming CoE is probably your best bet however since the runs are so short.

 

[Ryck]

Gunsmith finally has an Arminus-D with Counterbalance.(rank 3 package) Been holding onto that package forever.

CoE. Just got a 335 ghost today. Or at least up to a few light levels from your current one

So, RNG smiling on me
LDR 5001 finally dropped on rank up package.
Did a hard Crota raid, and managed to get Word of Crota and Abyss Defiant (yeah, i know, lTTP). Now o farm for that Crux....
Soloed Crota, and got Swordbreaker
CoE rank up gave me Last Battle (ship)
Nightfall. End of game loot was a crappy shotgun, nevertheless, i managed to get Darkblade Spite (fusion rifle)

Now i just need someone to run me through Golgoroth on hard (have checkpoint) to get the missing calcified fragments and the shroud

Need a 335 chest piece to get my hunter to 335

I'm hoping that this Friday is the day I get my cat emblem.

I would take this over a party crasher

I had a year 1 sniper with take a knee and would often slide snipe.

Take a knee gives 100% accuracy with hip fire. You can test buy lining up a shot while scoped, un-zoom and hip fire in the same spot and get the shot.

The one I have also has braced frame. Its a fantastic substitute for a CB Doctrine of Passing.

You should consider buying this since you got an OLED: http://www.play-asia.com/l2r2-button-grip-cover-for-pch-1000-black/13/709ikh

Should have offered some more specifics, lol. This is Thursday, June 2nd at 9:00PM EST for VoG newbie raid.

Sign-ups are here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DcCXWHn5EYFKlJmPjawNCHovK8v9IrBORo3WrcPfTE8/viewform?usp=send_form[
Still 4 spots for the moment, anyone is welcome.

VoG these days tends to go very quick even with full newbie groups.

Message me on PSN, I have my phone on me and I'll be home all day.

Do I want this counterbalance Arminus without braced frame? Or do I wait for braced and counter to be paired together?

You want all the stability perks to maximize effectiveness. Wait for CB/Braced Frame.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

.

Apparently rodeo is OK on this gun too in conjunction with another stability perk, but I just my CB/BF one with Crowd Control (which is amazingly fun to use).

 

[EloquentM]

How would you feel if PoE was more horde mode flavored and had endless waves incorporating the current CoE point system?

 

[chur]

Still waiting for a Persistence/Braced Frame/Counterbalance Arminius. Believe.

 

[WeTeHa]

How would you feel if PoE was more horde mode flavored and had endless waves incorporating the current CoE point system?

Not a friend of endless.
I'd like a lighthouse-type reward for pve though.
I'd like a horde mode with 50 waves (think of 1 PoE room as 3 waves) that get increasingly difficult with checkpoints. Add a couple bosses that rotate weekly every couple of waves, a few mechanics and stuff like checkpoint. Add a scorecard with boons and stuff and you can only get to the "lighthouse" if you complete the activity without wiping and done.

Still waiting for a Persistence/Braced Frame/Counterbalance Arminius. Believe.

Can that even roll on arminius? I thought persistence and CB was in the same slot on that gun. Could be wrong, I've never given it much thought.

 

[sajj316]

Give it to me .. tier the reward system based on points accumulated and/or waves completed. If you can complete the max number of waves .. make it lighthouse equivalent for end-game PvE

EDIT: There you go WeTeHa .. I like you!

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Indeed.

 

[aarcane]

Still waiting for a Persistence/Braced Frame/Counterbalance Arminius. Believe.

Unfortunately, the Arminius can't roll both Persistence and Counterbalance, it's one or the other. You're likely to get stuck with crap like Surrounded or Danger Close for the other perk.

Edit: Damn my slow typing!

 

[JohnOfMars]

Last Trials weekend vs this past one for PS4:
.

• 267,744 accounts participated, 38,099 flawless
• 217,071 accounts participated, 29,247 flawless

A 19% dip in participation and a 23% dip in flawless.

Maybe Trials won't continue to get sweatier; maybe the pros will leave for OverWatch.

 

[panama chief]

I noticed my grimoire is missing a few kills. Do PoE kills count? I'm tempted to solo the lower level ones if they do.

 

[chur]

RIP the dream.

 

[Agent_Tiro]

I think it will only get sweatier John. I wish all the pro's would go to Overwatch so I can drag my scrubby self to Mercury more often lol.

 

[nowai]

You are correct. Counterbalance with Persistence can only currently be obtained on the DoP.

They are in the same slot on the Arminius-D.

I don't think they do, I could be wrong.

Oh Bungie. Fuckin fun police

I know the old PoE stuff never counted for bounties / grimoire or anything. Not sure if the CoE does. Raids also don't count annoyingly. Thankfully I've got all my grimoire.

What are you missing / need to finish off?

CoE counts bounties as of the 4/12 update.

 

[jmvmadeira]

Anyone for CoE or NF? Need to do both on my warlock

I'll join if I'm on.

No Braced Frame though, I don't think it'll be stable enough to be competitive.

Tier three of most mobs. I seem to be about halfway or more on each.

Where can you find some Hydra to kill? I guess the Hydra during Archon Priest strike don't count? I'm done with all other enemies, I think, and I only have like 130 Hydra kills... :/

Go on patrol on Mars, head to where the vex teleporter thingy is that takes you to the black garden area. A Hydra spawns there every 30 seconds or so if you wipe out all the ads in that area. Its a few hobgoblin and minotaurs. I sat on a rock with icebreaker and killed them all. Would do 15 minutes every now and then to slowly increase my numbers.

The only Hydra that won't count are any yellow health majors / ultras. Any red health bars all count towards your total. so there are a few strikes where you can get a couple.

 

[Truelize]

Ugh I am so freaking sick of not having matchmaking in this game.
I've been sitting here for near a half hour signing into people's fireteams in the recruitment part of the Destiny app, sending messages for invites and then never receiving an invite or a response at all.

Just wasting time here because I need a fireteam for PoE challenge mode.
