It most certainly wouldn't be me judging you. I was late to the office this morning because I had to turn in some bounties. I have priorities.
i wonder how many ludicrously easy kills I've given strikers and voidwalkers because I didn't know this. feelsbadman

Whoa, did not know that. Thanks.
I'm hoping we get some new enemies.

Ah, thanks, I'll have to keep an eye out for this.
As I've played more and more FPS, I'm not a fan of attacks that cannot be defended. This is different from using smarts to get the drop on someone, of course. With a super, you could be squared off, 1v1, in a fair fight, and then the Super drops and there is nothing you can do (at least, with some of the Supers).
The disparity in Super ability (some are easier insta-kills than others, and some aren't insta-kills at all) is what might make this mechanic not work, though.

I beat the Raid again! I got enough shards to hit 29, and I got Found Verdict and the raid chest. Now to beat the Hard Raid and get the Vex Mythoclast and the other raid armor pieces.
Heh. I learned that from this thread just a couple of days ago.
I want some trash mobs. My favorite part about this game is, predictably, shooting shit. But you actually do little shooting in the raid, outside of the bosses. By little I mean, none at all once you go in.

To be fair, at least half of Strikers Supers are blindly thrown around corners and on control points, so you haven't fed them as much as their gamble paid off.

Need one more, just finished the jumping part. Psn koijirospath (raid).
nah dude the 500 wasnt bad at all. If youre a warlock use vortex grenades and also use a vois fusion rifle if you have one. Took me about 7 matches.

Not sure what Bungie was thinking when they created the idiotic bounty for Thorn. It wouldn't be so bad if the points didn't subtract with deaths, but the way it's set up right now, the only way to offset the death penalty is to try to make every kill count towards the bounty, which means that people are running around with a fusion rifle the entire match and being a burden on their team.
Bungie has never been a studio to make good mulitplayer Achievements, so I guess this isn't too surprising. It's frustrating how one simple change (don't subtract points from death) would still make the bounty tough and force people to play outside of their comfort zone, but not ruin the player experience.

eh, this is impractical in most player to player encounters given the quick kill times.

in any given moment like this, it's difficult to discern that his super is up, and dodge it if necessary afterwards
behaviors are much more reliable

Someone got the Fatebringer (arc pistol) last night in our hard mode raid last night. I haven't seen that, really at all (I see the mythoclast more). FYI he got it from the Templar fight. We were all jealous.

In the middle of soloing the Weekly Strike, had to do something right as I clear all the enemies before the priest. I leave my controller for 10 minutes and I get booted to orbit...like why? That is so annoying.

Do you get Ascendant Energy back if you dismantle a quested Exotic? I got a second Pocket Infinity quest and I'm wondering if it's worth doing again.
I dunno about the Moon one, I'm reserving judgment. But I expect straight-up Amazeballs from the Reef raid. As far as I'm concerned, that's a blank canvas for Bungie. I have no idea what to expect (like, this one, I knew, okay, Vex-heavy, some kind of labyrinthine vault, even before entering the door) and that lack of expectation equals, well, high expectations.
Good points... apparently you can tell though! My hawk-eyes are going to be looking at a lot of squares in the Crucible!

DICE has similar stupid shit for their "Assignments" to unlock weapons and gear in BF4. I fucking hate it.

Oh, ok. Could've sworn I saw the 26 list 6 coins as a reward after completing the 22. Guess I saw wrong.

Well done, guys. Beat the raid in 1.5 hours. Cheesing bosses ftw!

Spamming because we could really use a sixth guy. Normal raid. Mostly 29s.
Yeah. I am up to that point in the thorn bounty and I am thinking about just destroying it. I am not good enough at PvP.
Edit. Having aethons epilogue ar with void damage would be a fantastic way to do this bounty in PvP.
Yeah but I do this, all the time:
1. See Titan with blood rage in his eyes. He sees me.
2. He starts to run toward me.
3. Activate trap card (arc blade)
4. Slice at him
5. Titan activates FoH
6. Blade bounces off harmlessly and I die
7. Titan dances
*_* MUST PLAY PVP TONIGHT.
this'll be like my queen's glory night all over again
I find the raid perfectly paced actually. You have Templar battles, some nice platforming/exploration and then back to shooting shit.

lol gotta break in the ice breaker. not sure i how i feel about everyone having regenerating sniper ammo now, but i guess the less people using shotguns and SUROS, the better IMO. at least sniping takes some finesse

The fun part is when you finally get the gun and find out it's a piece of shit. I have 2 blue hand cannons that outperform it in every way.
If you have the assists bounty, they're wonderful.

Nah, it's pretty good. I wreck people in the Crucible with it. Think of it as a mid range sniper and play conservatively, and you'll do fine. It's a totally different play style than The Last Word, for sure.
Yeah in retrospect I wish I picked the fusion exotic bounty.

Let me ask you guys something?
Is Xur ever going to sell exotic engrams OTHER than armor ones?
It seems to be the only one he ever has for sale is the damn head one.
Im glad Xur finally sold Icebreaker. I wonder how come he sold the Exotic cheaper than he usually does.
I only paid 17 SC. He usually sells his exotic weapons for 23. I wonder why this one was less.
