This is an extra code and disc from the Destiny PS4 bundle I bought so includes erythang...

CST here, I usually stay up late Fri & Sat playing :)
Pretty sure you are on my FL? Just hit me up or keep an eye on the thread!

@NeOak if luchadork doesn't want it, it's yours!

man, you're awesome dude. well, how about you give the code to neoak and i'll just head over to the shops like i was going to, then we can have 3 people playing?

Yup, you need the base game but that too can be yours if you feel like sending me a postage paid envelope so I can send you the disc for vanilla. You could try the code first to make sure it works...
Just curious, you and whoever else we did KF blind with up for the RoI raid blind? Blind is the way to go...

I just feel like an idiot for not giving it out sooner 0_o Sounds like a plan!

Yeah when I got my Destiny LE, it felt really shitty using a the code for just TTK. I wasted the TBD and HoW portions of it and sold the original disc for $5 or something. In hindsight I should have just had someone buy a standalone TTK code and do a 1:1 trade so they could get the whole thing at a good price, but I was so excited to get started playing.

PAX exclusive gear that looks pretty neat and some updated ArtStation profiles to check out. No real news. Trials is on this weekend and next weekend, then gone until 9/30.

One of my buddies is an Enforcer, hoping to have him score me some of those pins and perhaps even that Thorn replica. :D

Oh yes, blind is the way to go! I think I may take the day off so as to start earlier and hopefully finish a blind raid for the first time! I was considering starting to get a group together but didn't know if it was too early lol! Would love to run with ya :)
 
Xbone raid group for Thursday at 8pm MDT. Let me know if you sign up and can't make it and we'll find alternates. The plan right now is normal King's Fall, maybe bumped to heroic based on experience.

1. Hippo_PRIME
2. Triplike
3. ich00
4. Oblivionmancer
5. akileese
6. CyberMiguelo

Just a reminder for Xbone folks that we will be starting in just shy of two hours.

I was originally gonna use it to set up an account for my wife (like she was really gonna play with me ;P )but you don't have to since you can do the primary console trick. I tried to give it to comms who is in the UK but no dice. Then I kinda forgot about it :(
 
A couple of people have expressed interest in improving their PvP game for / before Rise of Iron.

Here's a quick summary of posts where I've written about PvP. These were initially GAF posts, but I put so much effort into them, I created a site to archive them for reference.
And some advice for deliberate practice:

Play Rumble until:
  • You can get to the top of the scoreboard with only primaries
    Based on my Trials report cards, most weeks the ratio of Primary to Special is on average about ~50%. So don't focus your work on just shotgunning/sniping which is where the flash is. Learn that scout/HC/Pulse/Auto.
  • You can get to the top of the scoreboard with only secondaries
    The an unexpected thing this will teach you is about learning special spawn times and what armor sets to use.
  • Go whole games without dying
    This is huge for Trials. Become as slippery as an eel. Become impossible to kill.
Also, ditch 6s. Rumble or Skirmish.
Also, also, save your matches and watch them. If you're really serious, you'll do this even if it's painful. Even if it's taking away time you could be playing.

I'm no PvP god. Just someone else who is trying to deliberately improve my game.
 
Reading that Drizz interview is fascinating stuff. Can't wait to read the rest of this post...

I play a lot of Crucible but have only completed 3 Trials cards but I'm hoping to get more into it soon.

Man, custom games will be so good. However, it will bring the salt out in people, that is the biggest obstacle to overcome if you want to improve.
 
Breezy's PVP Set Corner

Featuring:
Helmet: Iron Camelot Helm(PS exclusive)
Gauntlets: Mau'uals Maulers(Drop from Shield Brothers)
Chest Armor:Holdfast Type 2(PvP Year 1 drop/vendor)
Leg Armor: Spektar Greaves(Sterling)
Mark: Moctezuma-Polyphonic(Speaker Purchase

Featuring the Thorn, this set follows a Poisonous theme, accentuated in the helm and greaves. It also represents power with the Gauntlets+Chest Piece combo, highlighting the bulkiness of a Titan. Helmet chosen for it's 8 slits, reminiscent of a spiders 8 eyes.

 
I usually PVP with my hunter but am thinking about changing it up for the next few weeks.

Going to go Striker Titan, here's my planned build:

Primary: Universal Remote
Secondary: PC+1, with AggBalls and Rifled Barrel
Heavy: Legendary Sword to block and mock rocket spam

Definitely wearing Armamentarium and gauntlets with shotgun reloader and increased melee attack speed

Main Perks:
Lightning Grenades
Overload
Transfusion
Juggernaut

Is there anything I'm missing?
Would Sunbreaker with double fusion grenades be more effective? /s

Discusting. 😀 kappa

I use easy luna and invective on my titan. In some maps, hung jury. Titan is too much fun.

I started doing this around HOW and it helped me improve immensely. Also, playing less actually helped me. I would limit myself to a couple hours at the most.
 
I really wonder how many people that want MM for Destiny's raid still play Destiny or have completed a raid more than once.
Ocean I got you on this list already!

Honestly, I would love matchmaking for VoG and CE, just because they're so darn fun.

I think someone here mentioned a cool idea that matchmaking could work if the player has already cleared the raid, but would still be locked out to those who haven't, thus trying to ensure that the player knows what to do already. Also, if they take their PvE strike matching algorithm into Nightfall or Raids, that might also be a good way to ensure that your team is up to the task.
 
For the Xbone raid group tonight, some of us are already on, if everyone is on early, we can start when the fireteam is full. I've got three in the party right, feel free to just drop in. Gt is HippoAvenger.

Hey Dgaf. Can anyone help me go flawless in ToO this week ? I just want to get the latest flawless trail emblem to complete the collection before RoI.

BTW: I'm really an average PvP player :(

Man, if sunsinger is supposed to the survivability build, then other classes must have it rough. Heroic quests and strikes are just respawn → whittle away a few % → respawn → whittle away a few %.

Went through Venus again yesterday for the Heroic quest. I really like the setting with the Vex, but that jumping section and the platform with the Taken Shield Doods that try to knock you off is bullsheeeeeit.

If anyone wants to go on patrol on Venus with me so I can kill a couple Taken champions and finish this stupid quest, that'd be rad. My tag is the same as GAF. I'll be playing for a while longer. Tomorrow is also an option. Level 40 Hunter, XB1.
