Based on the times I have been killed by a boomer supplicant upon exiting the portal, I do assume we have the easier job inside. Damn things.

Destiny is serious business to me lol. Just want to make sure I didn't back the wrong horse. I want this game to be like MW2 - always alive and kicking. Doesn't make me feel silly for playing so much. Hopefully that make sense.

Doctor Nope has been underwhelming so far. If you are within close range it can be good for PvP but anything mid-range or beyond it is lacking.
Can't. My brother is recording a movie around the same time and so is my other brother who's recording some crappy show. Both won't be in the house during that time so I can't record the show. If I did, it would disrupt service at one of the other two boxes in the house, leading to either my third brother or my mother stopping recording so they can watch their shit.

Firebase Delphi and Bastion* are alright, but Blind Watch is baaaaaaad.

As long as you don't get stuck in the outer perimeter.

Only the ones from the postmaster upon leveling up Cryptarch
Three days off starting tomorrow. Already added a bunch of you for IB but didn't get much time to play yesterday after running nightfall for the bonus.
Will be on for a little bit tonight. All day tomorrow.

Iron banner. Need nightfall on my Hunter. Heroic on Titan/Hunter. If I hit 29 then HM raid.
Feel free to add for anything.

I don't think this should be happening. Is it true?

No I like it a lot too. I hate Firebase Delphi.

Why would you need more than one character to run a 9 coin event twice in a 10 day window?
You lost me.
Blind Watch is great for Skirmish, Clash, Salvage....
It's ass on Control because someone at Bungie forgot to playtest the fucking control points lol.
Cap B and C, set up camp and win. If you spawn on that side enjoy your win.
One of the top results for "Vault of Glass Guide" is a walkthrough on reddit that uses those same call outs. Just based on that it seems pretty common.
You only get the coins once per character. It's a 7 day window.
No, Kittens they all suck,

I dunno, but I definitely ain't into it. It has no flow or cohesiveness to it. It feels like a Halo Reach map, but worse.

Good thing they did that stability update yesterday.

Have had this happen dozens of times over the past week or 2 on ps4... it just means you were too badass and they had to bring you down a peg or two in hopes of making it fun and fair for others.........

lets be honest, neither job is really that hard

We've got to the point where we just say left and right :lol
It's a beast to master even with the stability upgrade. Impact remains too low and while the recoil can be managed it requires too much effort for me to keep it on target while also avoiding enemy fire. I wouldn't use it on anything that's dangerous from a distance or has a massive damage AOE melee attack.
Basically I would save my ass energy for more manageable ARs (Shadow Price, Vanguisher, Grim Citizen, Exotics)

bungie needs to retire blind watch from matchmaking, unless they relocate the capture zones, move the heavy ammo somewhere else, and take out the automatic doors. absolutely puzzling design choices there.
Firebase Delphi and Shores of Time are two maps I can play forever and never get bored. Destiny's own little lockout.
force barrier, its reload buff can't be understated. that being said i also have a dr.nope that has reload speed upon precision skills and its not bad. spray and play is the superior skill in my opinion though as it is more consistent.
They don't open automatically for me...

Maybe this means that a lot of people already own the game, so that's why there are fewer people buying it?

Since the patch there is zero chance of a legendary engram producing a rare item.
If I read your message right, you're misinterpreting what that package is. I find a lot of people don't understand that package for some reason.
The package itself is purple in color. It's a box, nothing more. The color of the package does not indicate what's inside of it, the tooltip for the package says what could be inside of it.
The Cryptarch leveling reward package pretty clearly states that it can contain rare items and lengendary items. The engrams that pop out of that package will produce the reward and if a legendary engram pops out, it will produce a legendary reward, every time, guaranteed.
My favorite because it means I know where to go when coming out of the portal and I can't see anything.
All kinds of oddness.
I got this weird shot. My sniper rifle headshot also headshot the guy it completely missed. Praedyth's Revenge does not have penetration as far as I know.

Nah, outside is cake too. It's just that the supplicants spawn right behind the portal and they're hard for the players on gate pillars to kill sometimes. The Sniper on the high pillar actually does most of the work :]
Then again this is just my hard mode experience talking. I've always been portal team on normal so I don't know what the outside is like there. Portal team on hard is a pretty big increase in difficulty.
I guess my thing would be... your personal experience of having fun with the game or not should trump everything else. Unless I were paying a subscription for it, it's so hard for me to imagine buying a game and thinking "I hope that by June 2015 there's still a playerbase above a certain threshold to make the time investment worthwhile and validate all the hours I could have been spent playing something else"- like, either you enjoyed them or you didn't!
If it makes you feel any better, sales dropoffs on Amazon after product launch aren't linearly tied to longterm population viability for an online game. There will be surges in the near-term at price drops or sales, but these don't indicate future stability either. My personal prediction, and I have made others and been correct in the past, is that it will, in fact, have a healthy population around that time in the future and for some time to come after that as well. If nothing else, you have a pretty damn strong core of GAF players here who are likely to be around to play with.

I got one as a drop and it said it still had a chance to turn into a rare item.
It did turn into a legendary helmet tho. Maybe a glitch?

+1 for Shores of Time
I'm always on the outside team. The few times in teleported inside by mistake I have no idea what to do. I'm marked immediately but I also have to kill Oracles but also have to kill adds but also have to get cleansed but omg we're dead.
Outside duty is simple: fuck Supplicants up. Outside for life <3
Any tips on inside duty? Not my thing but it's good in case I ever gotta.
I see what he's saying. Character one runs the weekly monday, then again on tuesday reset pre-Xur then voila 18 strange coins in 2 days.
Opposed to the characters 1, 2, and 3 running the weekly monday then again on Tuesday reset for 54 strange coins.
