So there's some players that have green swirly stuff around their heads in the tower - what is that?

I don't think this infection stuff is anything but a replacement for the NF buff.
It seems pretty random and obtainable from all types of activities. So instead of having to run NF right away at reset you can do anything to get a buff that slightly increases rep and XP for the week.

you and me both.
I'm sure all this ARGy stuff will still be going on up until next week
I'm buying a shit load.
I love it when video game companies respect your time by allowing you to buy your way to the top. I'd rather give my money to activision that some kids on a Destiny boosting web site.
I thought you weren't playing anymore

If I find a calcified fragment during a story mission (such as Regicide), do I keep it if I abandon the mission?

Isn't it just paying to get your RNG rolls sooner? It's not like they're are getting guaranteed god rolls. Plus haven't these been available from sterling silver? You've been able to buy those for a while.

Thanks. Though now I have a checkpoint in that mission that prevents me from getting two fragments that I missed. Is there a way to restart the mission at its beginning?
edit: nevermind. It was staring at me in the face.

With the way the system works though(Loot from Faction packages or Rewards from Crucible/Nightfall/etc.) being at a higher light level, it's literally paying directly for more chances at a higher light level.
It's scummy. When it was only from the sterling packages, it was less scummy(But scummy nonetheless), but directly offering the reps is well...scummier? Blatantly scummy? It's Maple Story tier.
It is buying your way to a chance at earning higher level gear, faster.

I liked OG post better. "Lol" is appropriate

I mean, alot of microtransactions tend to be scummy and something to avoid. Especially in a game you've paid for. Season passes for example, suck.
So..yes? Is Scummy too strong of a word?

I thought maybe that would be kinda shitposty I dunno haha. Hence the edit.

Anyone want to run through the Spindle quest with me real quick? Still haven't done it after all this time, and yet it's still kind of a pain to do solo. On XB1.

Higher light level gear is easier than ever to earn now. There are so many opportunities to get higher light level gear that I don't see a point in spending money to speed up the process. It's not directly pay2win, because the only guaranteed thing you are getting is progressing to a RNG roll faster. I understand your objections to it, but I don't think it's too big a deal at the moment. The impact is minimal.

They are full. I was looking to run it again, too.
Yeah, I figured. Oh well, always another opportunity later.
Send me an invite... Haven't done it in a long time

"issues impacting revive timers"
So the change that reverted that was actually unintentional :/

Oh, I'm not acting like this is the thing that will stop me to stop playing Destiny. I'm just criticizing the implementation of directly selling boosts is well...Maple Story tier. First thing I thought of when I read you could directly buy the reps directly now. As an item gained from Sterling Packages, it's like whatever, the whole sterling stuff was scummy, but directly selling the reps meant that they concluded that they could make money from people wanting to optimize the levelling experience instead of being a side thing that you had a chance getting.
It's seriously f2p tier, and if they're going to continue down that road, they should just make the expansions free at this point, especially since each expansion is seemingly bringing a new form of microtransaction.

Trials armor looks bleh, maybe with a black shader it will be better. Iron Lord armor is the best one this year

Also can you have multiple infections? Should I be trying to get that?

Picked up Splendor 2.6 and Brilliance 3.2 in one crucible match. I'm excited to see where this is all going. It must be spreading fast because almost everyone in the match had it.
Balls of light are scary.
I'm already infected D:
Also kinda bummed they're fixing Shaxx's volume on some of his lines, I honestly enjoyed how completely over the top he would be sometimes.
*I get the first kill*
"THE LINES OF BATTLE HAVE BEEN DRAWN"
okay shaxx
Really I just want the Alpha 3 announcer in every game though.

Magnificence 2.0 text on the ARG website unlocked about 15min ago or so.
"Report of Bypass Authority Berriole, OS-I6 1, for Owl Sector records, assigned to incident TRANSMISSION.
I have been tasked with returning to the Dust Palace on Mars, which as far as we know is the only link between the Guardians first affected by these overrides. Appropriate contamination equipment has been requisitioned, although specs are for the Dawn Calamity and have not been adjusted.
The Owl Sector has determined that our acutest need is information. Which is where I come in. The area of interest includes former Clovis Bray buildings, so I expect my skills in cryptography, biosignature falsification, and historical architecture to be thoroughly exercised."

I'm not seeing any of that. Does it say anything on Brilliance 3.2?
