Can't find the original post, but if slots are open I'm down. If not going down I'll see about the 10 eastern run. All I need to complete the book at this point is Oryx Challenge and HM King's Fall. PSN is Lordsirsama
Easy, pull an all nighter playing Destiny so you sleep the entire flight.

I'm in too. I'd like to do hard for book completion, but if the group wants normal that's fine with me too

Sounds good to me! Hopefully, the PS Network is back up by then.

So last night I am hiding in a corner with my Last Word to make sure I get some easy 3% percentage points for the win until the other team goes on a tear and gets within just 1 kill from the win and I found myself in a 1v1 with a crazed warlock just nova bombing and meleeing people left and right

The funny thing is that there is no way I should have won that matchup. On slow mo, you see the last shot didnt hit him at all. Thanks Bungie!

Alright sign me up! Even if PSN comes up I'll probably be hiding offline. I'll start refreshing the thread in a bit. Thanks
I don't understand the complaints with SBMM. Why wouldn't you want better players against better players?
Is it the system prioritizing skill over latency that's the problem? Even with how it is now, I almost exclusively play against other local people when I do Trials and regular Crucible.
Someone give me the quick and dirty on why it sucks.

So clubs and lfg are starting to roll out on xb1 for preview members.
Is anyone planning to start a DGAF club?

I'm in for this, if there is still room.
It's kind of incredible how almost everyone left playing Crucible is either complete garbage or ridiculous. From match to match it's insane swings; dominate one game, next match it puts us 6 random solo people against a team of 6 in the weekly playlist who obviously go on to beat us like 15k to 5k. Next match no one has ever fired a gun before, match after that is people running around with perfectly rolled Elysuna's (sp), Grasps, Party Crashers etc sliding around and shotgunning and teabagging constantly. I mean to be fair some of it is just the age of the game and what kind of people would still be playing Crucible at this point for the most part in the cycle (pre RoI release), but the shitty netcode and matchmaking don't help. Outside of GAF Trains I have no idea how anyone actually enjoys this.
I continue to pray that for Destiny 2 they finally fully separate PvE and PvP so they can fairly balance both on their own merits and also invest in some servers or netcode. None of that will happen

There are a couple issues imo.
First and foremost: Too often skill is prioritized over connection. Laggy games against sweaty players are miserable. I've played skirmish in different continents despite living in the most populated state in the U.S.
The other issue is that it feels bad. Beyond the lag it feels like Bungie is far too heavy handed in pushing you towards their desired 50% win rate. Every match you have to put on a 110% performance to have a chance at winning. It also exacerbates everything bad in the crucible. Because it's so hard to get wins players camp, use scummy tactics, use op y1 weapons, and so on. It makes following the meta mandatory and sucks the fun out of it. It wouldn't be a problem if there was a specific ranked playlist where there was SBMM, but as it is now if you want to just do bounties you better be prepared for sweats.

Macello is definitely getting a mouthful lol
I completely agree with this. I feel like the only way I can be semi competitive is to run with a pulse rifle, despite not liking them. If I try to mix it up, I get destroyed.
That and the goddammed snipers.
Here's to hoping Bungie pulls a Bungie and nerfs them to the point where they become unusable.

Yeah, good luck getting that to happen.
So that everyone runs around with shotguns instead? Neither is really that appealing.

Can't be bagged if I surrender straight away! And it's Macello, no R!
I dont want them gone. Im just sick of getting my damn head blown off despite hitting the sniper with multiple pulse rifle bursts.

I only need one last fragment to complete Moments of Triumph. Anybody want to go kill Thalnok with me? I've got a Antiquated Rune with his name on it.

Psn still down??? What the hell Sony.
The last time people were calling for sniper nerfs, they reduced the amount special ammo you could hold. Be careful what you wish for.

If it makes PVP enjoyable for me again, I'm down.

you wouldn't happen to have an oryx checkpoint would you?

Sorry no, unfortunately not.
I'm on, but can't see my friends.
@milkham, not having any improvements here as far as signing on goes. I'll keep trying for a bit but if it gets much later than 10 and we don't even have a CP (was planning on hunting for one for your group too) i may have to bail. Tuesday's typically the worst night for me to be up real late. If it doesn't work out I'll be Oryx hunting the rest of the week too.

that's cool i mean i managed to get on but can't add any of you either or see my friends list, just happened to load into the same tower as kalamari (who has abandoned me)
Fair enough. I haven't played it enough to really notice a difference, but it's probably also my trench tier skill bracket that makes every game seem casual.

Is the network being down just a North America thing? I've been playing for like the last hour+.
Yea same here, I'm on but can't load the friend's list. Everything else seems to work though strangely enough. Anyway, keep me in mind for whenever you get this going. I'll hunt for a cp as well whenever things are fully back up.
Grab bounties anytime you can and play the story missions, you'll probably land pretty close to 40. From there grind out strikes & rank up anything you can - this will all get you to 330. For 330-335: exotics (3 of Coins when Xur shows up), Challenge of Elders, Iron Banner when it shows up, King's Fall raid.
edit: I didn't mean to wait until 330 to do those things in the second list
This will all be outdated in 2 weeks but it's something to do until then!

Yeah, I can't get online either. PSN may be making King's Fall tonight a no go. I'll be around the rest of the week though.
Cool thanks. I think I'm just going to aim for 40 and get as many marks and strange coins as I can to get a head start on year three gear
Not really looking forward to those story missions again... But I'll persevere.

Damn, was really hoping for Oryx tonight. If PSN comes back online tonight I'm here for it. Can't necessarily do tomorrow evening or Friday, Thursday would be the next definitely available time for me.
No, it's down for me in Australia as well.
... Especially with the prevelance of Sprint-Shield Titans, both the Party Crasher +1 and the Universal Remote, and the new upcoming RoI Artifact that cancels Sprint cooldown. The first few weeks of PvP in RoI will be FUN.

Yeah, tbh, that actually sounds much worse than what we have now.
