What's going on? Weren't we supposed to start twenty minutes ago? You're in a different fireteam of five.

Alright you two, I'll be ready to play for pretty much the rest of the day at around 12:30 EST, so in two hours.

Same thing with me. I thought it was the group but I was removed.
Edit: looks like four people three people from the formed group on the thread don't have a spot for a planned raid. Should we just form a new group then?
Too many newbies might have spooked people, I will be on for next two hours or so if people want to give it a go
Not cool.

Yeah, kind of a dick move tbh.
Yeah, it was the third part of the first boss phase that really sucked
three servitors?! I could only ever find one or two
I had a lot of fun, trying to keep post positive is quite the challenge
Only during the last section! I just couldn't find a role I felt I could contribute in during the first boss phase and I was getting annoyed because I felt I was the reason for the wipes (263 is too low for that section, it seems). The second section of the raid
the priest
I do apologize to everyone if I was completely awful to play with.

I wonder if there was some sort of non-compete agreement when MS purchased the Halo franchise from Bungie, at least in terms of certain things that make Halo the distinct game that it is, as to prevent Bungie from just creating a Halo clone. I think this because I can't fathom an experienced developer like Bungie making such obvious poor decisions with their game design in Destiny.
Thankfully not the norm here on GAF but disappointing nonetheless

I've come to love my Keystone 01 after taming this beast and by "taming" I mean getting used to the recoil.
I have the Keystone in two flavors, one with Explosive Rounds, Outlaw, and Firefly and the other with Full Auto, Unflinching, and Firefly. The former is at 385 and is generally my main, the latter is at 381 and gets less use but is fun to play around with although I'm not sure Full Auto is right for this gun.
When it comes to scouts this is your heavy-hitter.
The King still lives in the all-around best scout in the business, the original Dead Orbit vendor version of the Hung Jury SR4 but the Keystone 01 is quickly entering the ranks of the top tier scouts the game has seen.

Coolio. Not sure it's happening though. Everyone seems to be fought up in trials.
I'm encountering a lot of carry groups in the first few rounds.

You are fine and yes, your LL is tough in that area but we knew that going in. Just gotta chill a bit, don't want you to cut your hand on broken plastic

My blood is fucking boiling right now and I'm feeling too discouraged to try again.
Good to know. I got one but the roll wasn't great. Put it into my original Hung Jury.
I just don't see myself using something different. Be hung jury is too perfect.
I'm in the same situation as he. My groups were also stuck at Aksis. I'm 368 light.

And why would Bungie want to create a Halo clone in the first place? You don't sell games by copying another, already popular, game lol.

Join us.
Okay cool. I believe you can join on GlamFM. We'll be there. I'm about to start so may pick up the rest from DLFG as most people are caught up in trials atm.
Sure, just need to switch characters and move my gear.

I mean, they can't literally create halo or use many of the iconic things from halo, but that's probably it. I don't enjoy destiny pvp either and I feel that it is a step down from halo, but Bungie was actually slowly moving halo in this direction for quite a while. If anything, this is the halo game they wanted to make. Take it or leave it.
For me, destiny pvp breaks down when it tries to be competitive. Also, the maps are generally terrible. How they haven't learned that doors on maps are an incredibly stupid idea by now is beyond me. These are the people that made snowbound and epitaph in halo 3, where people would just camp in plain sight of each other on opposite sides of a shield door. They realized it sucked then and edited the maps, but here we are 9 years later with last exit, black shield, cauldron, etc.
Plenty of people love the pvp experience destiny offers, however. To theorize Bungie is intentionally gimping portions of their game so that it isn't too much like halo is laughable. They are making the game they want to make, and they are doing it the way they want to make it.
With that said, I would totally take the Halo CE magnum as an exotic hand cannon in a heartbeat.

LL helps for sure. Makes it much easier to run around and look for servitors while tanking a few shots from adds. Also, experience will help you process were your servitor will spawn by a process of elimination. You guys did good, and as LL and experience increase, it will be a 1 - 2 hours activity, not 6.

Yeah, my 385 Hung Jury is always available. The handling and general "smoothness" of that weapon is incredible.

Is there a limit to how many times I can take those Iron armour pieces from the Moment of Triumphs? It seems I can redeem them multiple times.

Any Hunter and Titan who want to help me finish my quest? Just have to do three public events, I'm guessing Forge.

For you hunters out there, I just started one and wanted to know how would you rank the Hunters sub-classes?
No. The perks don't change, but the stats (Intellect/Discipline/Strength) do change. So if you're looking for a specific build you can keep redeeming the pieces until you get what you want.

PVE:
1.Nightstalker
2.gunslinger
3.bladedancer
PvP: personal preference mostly, but Bladedancer has QuickDraw, Nightstalker has shadestep, and Gunslinger has golden gun, so they all have their bonuses.

Just faced another 5-2 team and they all jumped off the map 5 times lol. Must have been on the pulse rifle quest, maybe? I have no idea.
Either way, that was unexpected in trials.

Best all around/Primary PvE class is Nightstalker.
For PvP Bladedancer.
Gunslinger nowadays...
