Song of Flame is pretty useful but not as clutch as self reviving when everyone is dead preventing a wipe, or in the case of HM Raid where you can't be revived otherwise. It's too useful and prevents anyone from really considering Radiant Skin much less Song Of Flame. I'm a strong believer in removing Fireborn and replacing it with something like Praise the Sun from HoPF, which would then make that exotic similar to exotics like Helm of Inmost Light or Eternal Warrior so there's precedent for shared abilities.
Still early on the west coast dawg. Probably gonna be several more hours.
Go here http://destinypublicevents.com/
Then look at "All Planets"
The ones I go to depending on when they're due:
Ember Caves
Archer's Line
Anchor of Light
Mothyards
The Divide
They're all very easy to reach and produce good results.
You are a gentleman and a scholar

It was horrid. My brother ran hard mode for months as a 29. I felt bad for him, at least I had the excuse of only a couple of HM completions.
HoW was such a huge step in the right direction. TTK feels like they finally got it right. You play, you improve.
Most fun exotic in the game.
Pretty much my thoughts. Will level up to 40 and only THEN will open NM/DO/FWC packages. Don't wana get a blue or a low light legendary if i open it as lvl 34.
Am pretty sure we will be 40 soon, if what we saw in that video is correct - the ammount of XP needed past 34 was really small per level up.

Lol.
I was on vacation when Xur brought them. A flurry of text messages to get my brother to buy them got sent that day.
It's before noon on Bungie time still, be patient.
According to the build we've been seeing, it currently not only makes every shot a Critical Shot regardless of where the enemy is shot, but apparently it also increases damage even beyond that.
I'll have to re-watch the Strike videos from last week with Datto to confirm since he used that ability a lot in his Strike video. Basically, if a Sunbreaker can melee a boss with Melting Point then everyone is going to be doing a ton more damage.
Add in something like the Monte Carlo and high Strength gear to have that ability recharge very fast and it can debuff Majors and Ultras constantly.
Hopefully this means that Majors and Ultras have less OP anti-melee abilities like we see now where it's usually suicide to melee an Ultra.
When's Bungie time?
Thanks. Do I need to be in the respective areas to be allerted to they'll happen or just anywhere outside?

- Lure major enemies together
- Hunter tether bow
- Heavy sword damage on one
Recipe for success. You can throw in some evades and vanishing grenades if you want.

i hope it gets a year two variant. if TLW is going to be a hip fire machine, there'll be no need for knucklehead radar anymore (altough i still think it's the best looking Hunter helmet)
Alright it's been long enough. I want First Light and Bastion to come back on a more regular basis. Man that first IB, matches on Bastion were disasterous. But now it doesn't come around enough since it's only on Combined Arms. Also I wonder if either of them would make good Rift matches.
Like many here on DGAF that stuck around, I was called upon to walk people thru how to beat the raid many, many times.
The raid itself is awesome, unfortunately, like you said, its payout was few and far between.
With no reasoning other than RNG to blame, you could have one person on your team get EVERYTHING in one raid, and you get nothing but ass materials.
This was the first drop off in player base.
Next was Crota.
The drop off happened because of the artificial difficulty set by not being able to attain the level to complete it in an reasonable amount of time.
The Crota encounter, as well as the deathsinger are all level 31~32.
We started doing Crota all at level 30.
You couldn't do enough damage in the allowed time to take out Crota with a level 30 running sword.
It took a level 31 running the sword to be BARELY able to make it in time before oversoul enrage kicked in.
Hardmode was the same, just that you had NO way to level up to 33, as all the enemies are after the bridge section.
This lead to even more drop offs from the game.
I don't blame anyone for leaving Destiny with the shitty idea of forcing players to be underleveled for encounters.
This always annoyed me, and is possibly the laziest way of making an encounter.
I'm looking forward to that dodge roll. The main reason to level Nightstalker for me!

I still haven't even played on the First Light map. It's the last map I need to play on for the grimoire, I take it that it only shows up on Combined Arms like Bastion.
Sorry for your loss
Thanks Math. Wife's uncle. Fuck cancer.
GutZ, to confirm is it okay if I obtain a faction package at say Level 35 and then open it at 40 to get Level 40 gear? Or will I need to have earned the faction after I hit 40?

So Xur on 9/11 is going to be selling Hawkmoon, Monte Carlo, or 4th Horseman right?
If so I hope it's 4th Horsemen, I still need that gun. it'll probably be Hawkmoon though ):

I really hope it goes year two.
Speaking of Last Word, to this day, I still remember your Last Word 101 post everytime I use it. I'm not good at it yet but I love the gun in Skirmish.

am I going to have to go through the story in HOW twice in order to unlock content for both my characters?
Nothing too exciting, but looks like the companion app is getting an update soon-ish with some "new stuff" and improved existing features, etc...

/u/HelloControl_ said:
Acquire all you want after TTK drops. They are locked to the "current" pool of gear, and are randomized when you open them to that pool.
Open them when you reach 40 to have the best chance at getting gear that moves you forward.
Blue gear will be your first step towards level 40 legendary gear, so work on doing story missions to acquire blue gear for your 34~40 leveling benge.

Sweetness.
I hope they update it to be like loadouts app.
What's wrong?
Same. There have been at least half a dozen situations in PvP where someone had me dead to rights and I thought to myself, I wonder if I could've escaped this with that Nightstalker dodge...

In my post, do you feel that I may find anything redeeming about skolas? LOL

Just watch, Xur will require a new currency for items.
And he will sell Hawkmoon during the first week of this change only hard core players will have currency to buy it--but most of them will already have it.
But I'm glad Hawkmoon is returning in Y2, it is my favorite exotic.

Also filthy xbox players do not deserve it

Just as I expected.

Yeah, I think the Last Word changes are going to be dramatic.
Sorry for your loss man, only few years ago i lost 3 family members over a 2 year period to the same thing.
Horrible thing.
FTFY
Shit dude.
I wish you guys the best.
Cancer sucks, my eye can vouch for that.
So basically "yes the companion app will be updated eventually and new features are coming whatever they may be" but still no word on that full size iPad Tablet app that they promised would be available on Day 1 (9/9/14).
New features are always welcome.
