Xur better bring TLW or Gjallahorn.

Only two weapons from Xur's stockpile I still want. I'll be away from my PS4 all weekend so I hope he doesn't sell either. :/

Yeah, but look at the last patch. They basically said, "Hey we looked at all of your complaints and feedback, but fuck it, we'll still do it our own arbitrary way" The irony being, they have actually contradicted themselves based on a lot of quotes people dug up about their thoughts on "RNG for the sake of being harder"

They also completely ignored all of the raid glitches the community was vocal about prior to patch and seemingly continue to do so with the new bugs and glitches the patch added to the raid. They have stopped just short of telling us we are playing their game wrong, and that they know better. The forums and subreddit, as well as this thread are rife with people saying how broken the raid is now. A single tweet, "we are looking into the raid breaking bugs/glitches" would go a really long way

That Raid "patch" really boggles my mind. ANYONE who played through it should've hit the teleport glitches. We've hit it consistently at least once. I swear they simply altered the code for it and thought it would be fine. There's no way anyone from QA touched the Atheon fight to let this patch go through like this. They basically ruined the end game of the end game.

Destiny |OT10| "Why do you need more space, the game is set in space"

don't say that outloud, activision will catch wind of the idea....

If they charged, I think I would get my game refunded.

I ask updated question
Would you pay for extra Vault space ABOVE what Bungie gives us for free?(e.x. Bungie gives us an extra page or two for free but gives us option to buy more space)

 

[E92 M3]

Where did this come from?

It was at the bottom of their expansion article.

We glitched like 3 times out of 5 warps. Bungie must've experienced it too.

 

[FloatingDivider]

How the fuck isn't it banning fuckers that AFK in strike playlists yet. It's fucking infuriating tbh.

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

So... still really loving Destiny a lot, warts and all, but we need to talk about its biggest shortcoming... that outfit lady does not change the shaders she has for sale! I NEED more colors, but keep getting the same two or three from crucible.

This is probably the biggest problem the game has right now TBH

Destiny |OT10| "Why do you need more space, the game is set in space"

But the only thing that takes place in space are the loading screens. Everything else takes place on planets or moons. (not counting two cutscenes in the asteroid belt)

 

[robertsan21]

Would you guys pay for extra Vault space?

If this becomes a thing, I will stop playing.

We need more space bungie, do it god damnit

It's mindboggling to me. And it's a prime example of how unaware Bungie is when it comes to the details of the game that need a fix.

Current issues with Atheon.

1.- Encounter lags often. Unkillable enemies, portals not rising, etc.
2.- Getting stuck in a portal.
3.- Getting bounced back into mars or venus when exiting a portal.
4.- Atheon teleports 2 or just 1 person.
5.- People teleported get the contain if less than 3 people are alive outside.
6.- Atheon attacks hit people inside the relic bubble.

Did I miss any?

I've actually stopped Tiger striking for this very reason, almost every one I do if I am by myself has one if not two leechers. It's a bro's only experience for me now.

Seriously. We want to look good. Why does Bungie not give us more options??

(Only half serious about this. More shaders would be fantastic but they aren't a priority over bug fixes and raid glitches.)

Grind rank for Dead Orbit, their care package can give you shader that is mostly black.

 

[Milennia]

The sad thing is that when we were doing the hard clears we did have a single teleport bug lol.

 

[hydruxo]

Grind rank for Dead Orbit, their care package can give you shader that is mostly black.

It's still just random though. It's ridiculous that there aren't guarunteed ways to get good shaders.

 

[GobFather]

What's a good option to get strange coins other than weekly and doing it on alt? Does pvp or strike give a better chance or chest runs? Thanks !

Obviously^^ But with sooooo many different shaders and a vendor who sells them, only four seems so odd...

 

[Oshimai]

Hey, anyone up for the raid, nightfall or weekly strike? PSN: Oshimai - Just let me know you're from GAF when ya add me.

Run strikes -> Get tons of blue engrams -> Good chance for strange coins

it might not be intentional. there have been several times where I had to put the controller down to use the restroom or my wife needed something. I get angry sometimes and then I think that there might be real life issues that arise

 

[ZangBa]

Sounds like Atheon has become twice as buggy as before the patch, which is something I think everyone had predicted, lol. Been playing Lords of the Fallen so I haven't kept up, but it sounds like you guys are pretty pissed. I guess I won't even bother with him until its fixed, my patience for Bungie's nonsense is too low now.

Oh yeah. #3 happened to me twice last night. It took us WAY too long to beat Atheon because of the constant glitching. Group of 5 of us almost started looking for a 6th because we thought that might be the reason for the glitch. It was ridiculous.

Thanks! Atlesst there's matchmaking lol

So annoying but I've kept the Dead Orbit Mark on just for that.

 

[commish]

If I'd have known that there are no guaranteed ways to get good shaders, I would have never preordered this game.

 

[HaleStorm]

Then people should be backing out of the game so there is a chance that someone that actually will play can be stuck in your game, or I can invite a friend to replace you. Even if those don't happen, if you quite the game will scale down the difficulty for 2 or 1 person.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Okay so this:

I'm going to feel pretty cheated if Crota has a sword. The story is already non-existent as it is, but if Crota somehow has his sword, despite the fact that we specific went out and destroyed the thing, I'm going to be pretty miffed here.

At the very least, it better have some damn explanation.

 

[MADGAME]

Piggybacking off this comment. Is it guaranteed you get a shader when leveling up a faction to rank 10?

I'm sure it's possible he has more than one sword, no?

T-t-t-t-t-TIME TRAVEL

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Also there's another Atheon issue that's not a bug but rather looks like careless design.

If Atheon bubbles you and you are mid jump, your trajectory will end up most of times making you go outside the bubble and die instantly.

Perhaps they should introduce a check so that if a character is mid jump, the bubble should be delayed until the character touches ground.

 

[hydruxo]

Piggybacking off this comment. Is it guaranteed you get a shader when leveling up a faction to rank 10?

Nope. It's just a random reward.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Piggybacking off this comment. Is it guaranteed you get a shader when leveling up a faction to rank 10?

I'm not sure if it's guaranteed, but I think it's highly likely you'll have received at least one by then. I've heard of people getting them as early as Rank 7. I'm only at Rank 6 though so I can't confirm.

I need to do 25 for my bad juju and I didn't feel like running a low lvl strike solo 25 times but the amount of afking is really bad.

Yeah, its bad. Nearly every portal run went into shambles. Randomizer wasn't even the problem, some guys actually never did it while they play this game 24/7. Its the fact 4 get warped, or only 2...

Shield hits going through enemies is something I experienced just now too.

 

[MADGAME]

Just to clarify my statement (sorry I wasn't more specific), I meant the faction-specific shader, not a random one during the process of leveling.

Each faction has a it's own shader, does it not? I thought you were awarded a special faction shader by ranking it to 10. I read that somewhere, will have to go back and search for sources.

Can you play regular low level strikes solo?

Right, but people shouldn't be jumping during that time anyhow Make sure that everyone on your team is aware when Atheon is about to open the timestream and stands still. I've seen gravity kill lots of guardians in the VoG because of this

There are a lot of issues with the VoG and unfortunately I doubt this will be very high on the patch list. Bungie likes to fix what isn't broken instead.

He has a collection purchased from local flea market.

 

[Namikaze1]

Just two trophies left now and I'll be free! Finally free!

 

[LiK]

Can you play regular low level strikes solo?

Nope, all Strikes have matchmaking. You could technically ask two friends to join you and let them leave. They don't do a good job grabbing people into a session in progress through MM.
