Has there been any word on exotic bounties? I just got another one and I'm curious if I wait to cash it in until TTK, can I get the new version? (Bad juju)

I'm wondering about this, too. I got one during IB and I don't want to turn it into Xander yet, just in case.

On a side note, is the Vault space doubling next week, or does that come with TTK? I'm so full... haven't been sharding because of Bungie saying 'don't shard' anything. But I'm so full. Postmaster is stuffed, too.

 

[Deku Tree]

I like where bungie is going with "The Taken" because it is one unified enemy force.

That was the good thing about the Covenant from Halo... They were a bunch of different enemy types but they were all working together to try to take you out.

Having four different warring enemy types in Vanilla Destiny was a bit too much, and it meant that we didn't learn enough about any of them.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Anybody else having trouble contacting destiny servers?

 

[SpecX]

However long it takes. I'll play as late a possible. (May be quiet on the mic though, as it gets later).

I have a level 34 warlock sun singer btw

When are you planning to run it and do you have a 3rd? I might be able to get on in 2 hours and could bring my Titan if you guys don't have a 3rd noob yet.

 

[Chronology]

How spoilery was the stream? I kind of really want to watch it, but I don't want to spoil too much of the Dreadnaught exploration

 

[todd360]

I remember that DLC Timeline slide showing the next DLC after TTK is Cabal-themed and then Vex-themed DLC before Destiny 2. Dunno if it's to be believed, but believe.

Edit: Goddamn, top of page...
Because one cannot have too much Jade Rabbit.

Especially the xbox one players amirite?

On that note, I'm hoping Bungie is able to really mix up the types of Taken we fight against, given they are all unified under Oryx. Cabal Phalanxes with Hive Acolytes in tow, Fallen Captains flanked by Thralls and Psions. That sort of thing.

 

[X-Frame]

I'll definitely be raiding right when it launches. No idea who will be available to be on the team. I'm hoping to get folks who have the time to grind up some high Light gear etc in preparation then raid for as long as it takes. I'll be playing a ton that week but I know not everyone has as much availability as me.

I'm going to be off Wed thru Friday, so basically come Tuesday night I'll be playing straight through the weekend, AND I have 3 Titan's still so I'll be taking advantage of gear for all of them before I delete them for other classes. I should be 40 and with good Light gear by the raid.

Anyone want to do nightfall?

I will

Psn th3dude119

No mic tonight

 

[Gordon]

My gut feeling is that they don't want a mode that doesn't feature the core design of Destiny become popular.

We'll see I guess.

*core gimmicks

lol seriously tho they should really let us enjoy the basic gunplay elements of destiny a bit more - launch day was far and away the best pvp of destiny's lifetime just because people hadn't unlocked/learned to exploit the abilities yet.

Omg just go play CoD or any other shooter cuz thats basically what you are asking here

CoD =/= Destiny. The closest you can get is trying to play Reach (because it's a Bungie engine) and not only does it have it's own layer of gimmicks, but it also has less population than your average grade four classroom.

Or are you being sarcastic?

 

[chewydogg]

Need 1 for PoE 32.

Starting now, join on PSN AdamKoy.

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

I will

No worries. My mic is dead and charging right now.

 

[th3dude]

No worries. My mic is dead and charging right now.

Cool. I need 2 runs if you're interested.

Otherwise maybe someone else can be our third and run a second as well

 

[Trace]

Those trailers.

The hype.

 

[Ocelott]

I do PSN Ocelott

 

[Kadey]

Good runs guys. 99th PR, Fatebringer and AE. And 99999999999999999999999999th Timebreaker.

Went to postmaster and another VOC and VEX was waiting for me.

That's fine. Should be easy nightfall.

Does inferno not give headshot kill points? It's not giving them to me.

Game just crashed for me and now I can't log back in.

Edit: never mind, just got back in.

 

[Deku Tree]

I can't wait until TLW, Thorn, and Hawkmoon (and blink) are all nerfed into oblivion. The current PvP meta is nothing but trash.

I'm gonna be like:

and like:

 

[Kadey]

Not enough warlocks on team.

 

[todd360]

Not enough warlocks on team.

Fookin ramlocks. They are their own class.

 

[Gordon]

I really hope the 2.0 meta makes me like it more, because there are aspects of destiny pvp I really enjoy. Of course, custom games and tournament capability would make me like it more. And maybe a hardcore playlist of some sort where you start with specific weapons.

How about a playlist that only lets you in if you have all white gear (or some colour/rarity specific to the playlist) that you pick up from a dedicated vendor? Gear rotates consistently but covers all of the impact/rof archetypes so you can use your favourite type of weapons without having to stress about cheesy rolls?

Spoiler

Wishlist: play as quartermaster-bot character models with generic abilities - melee is just a punch, nade is something simple like a flux grenade, super just refills X% ammo for all weapons, maybe including nearby teammates. Rotate gametypes weekly, and drop white (or playlist specific rarity) perk-less weapons with raid-level attack ratings as rewards.

 

[Deku Tree]

I wonder what the sine curve is gonna be like on 9/18/15.

Spoiler

Are we going back to mass sad panda epic rant posts?

 

[gutter_trash]

need 1 more for a poe 32
psn jerky

 

[oldschoolpinball]

I'm up for nightfall psn tdf213

 

[Deku Tree]

Is there a way I can experience the "new" campaign without resetting one of my characters ?

Yup!

Don't delete your characters just yet...

 

[Anastasis]

Zoba, you could have the title Meta Critic on the 8th and then on the 15th:

Destiny the Taken King |OT| Enter the Rings
Destiny the Taken King |OT| Lord of the Rings

Or something with rings cause of Saturn, I don't know.

 

[th3dude]

Space and Ocelott... another?

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

Space and Ocelott... another?

Nightfall right?
You got a nice exotic!

 

[th3dude]

Nightfall right?

yep

 

[Ocelott]

yep

Too late to say i am down lol

 

[Kadey]

So is it okay to dismantle legendaries now or what?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

So is it okay to dismantle legendaries now or what?

Guns yes. Armor...no.

 

[igordennis]

So is it okay to dismantle legendaries now or what?

Afaik yes. Trash legendaries wont have any value in TTK. Good legendaries can be kept for nostalgia purposes.

 

[Deku Tree]

You want to be level 34 when patch 2.0 hits.

Any idea/opinions on where the best place is to rack up sniper rifle kills? Sniper rifle kills are one of the last two PvE grimoire cards I don't have maxed. Looking around online I saw some really old posts referencing using the Ice Breaker on we have woken the hive, but I just tried that and it doesn't seem that efficient since you load into the encounter with no ammo? Was thinking maybe instead heading up to the cliff on Mars that overlooks the entrance into the strike ship where people also farm for Colossus kills? I have an Ice Breaker and No Land Beyond.

 

[kidko]

Saw the sword in action, saw the three wizards fight, saw a glimpse of the dreadnought scale... Oh yeah, oh yeah, OH YEAH! Hypesploddddde

I just farmed this the other day and got my sniper kills on Mars patrol in the area where you farm the Hydra.

After discussing the weapon patch in regards to the TLW, it looks like the following is going to happen:

• The Last Word will no longer be a viable mid ranged primary, forcing players to rely on mid-ranged secondaries such as a Sniper or a good Fusion Rifle
• The Last Word's lethality will increase in CQB, with enhanced accuracy and precision aim assist while hipfiring. However, it'll require more control.
• ADS will still be possible, but the kill time will be higher

With these changes, TLW will remain the weapon of choice competitively for aggressive players. Other players who don't necessary fit that playing style will likely switch over to other weapons.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Until Bungie finally remembers that there's a Cabal Empire many star systems away. Cabal need some loving.

I want my Cabal raid

 

[Shinigami no Mori]

Thank you so much Driz and Trouble for the run!!! I really appreciate it. Sorry I couldn't talk much.

Thanks for the nightfalls!

I could see a boss being a crap ton of phalanxes actually forming a hard core phalanx that you have to do certain things in order to open it up to do damage.

FemLock looks so good bathed in lightning.

I think that would be cool, and probably the only way they could do it currently in destiny. I doubt they could easily swap your weapons out for a single match of crucible.

Did you get more information about it? Or is this conjecture? Either way, that is pretty much how I use it. I'm more than happy to switch out my secondary for a more mid range weapon like a fusion.
