I'm pretty sure Bungle isn't going to do Xbone streams anymore. They'd rather do a PS3 stream than have to run into a A Buff Gay Dude again.

With that said, A Buff Gay Dude haunting Bungie is hilarious.

Yea but the SLo-12 is bad imho, the big open circle is stupid. And I never liked the SLo-19 until I was advised to think of the aiming goal as to rest the horizontal parts of the inverted open "T" on the dude's shoulders instead of putting the dude's head right in the opening of the "T". Now it clicks and I'm getting 25s instead of 17s.

None of those sights click for me at all. I like the Slo-12 stupid circle because I can at least see the target and the slo-19's T never clicks for me much like GB Iron, GA Post, and Spo-26. The TA sights give me a nice circle to put around my targets and a bracketed sight to focus on. Maybe I just have loving terrible eyes and depth perception. :shrug:

And I'm not a snap shot person, I usually move into firing lanes ADS'ing so I don't lose the twitch reaction battle.

Reddit person discovers that the exotic class items are reducing your xp per kill instead of increasing it because they're a sperg that keeps deleting and remaking hunters:

I'm thinking it might be because of the light difference. He has 155 light with his lvl 20 set and then throws on a 335 class item? He's gonna be wrecking those scrub vandals.

Yes. XP is tied to the level of the enemy and your level. As usual reddit retards are not scientists and have no idea how to control variables before jumping to conclusions.

After three Destiny raids, i've come to accept the fact that I don't have the patience to do them blind. I probably won't even attempt it until everyone else has more or less mastered it, assuming I even bother getting RoI. Also I REALLY hope the next raid doesn't "require" specific weapons in order for me to be useful to the group.

The artifacts are cool because it adds a new layer to the game and breaths into it new life.

Pretty smart move by bungie.

If they add in private game lobbies as well. Holy poo poo. Huge win.

If they could fix the loving lag as well it would be one of best games ever imo. Too bad they can't/won't. Maybe in Destiny 2.

400 Light will also make Tier 13 and 14 possible. People are gonna be running around with near max cooldowns all day erryday.

IB is moving to Felwinter's Peak, no more flaming gong in the tower. And you have to unlock Felwinter's Peak in a mission, so I guess you have to buy ROI to play IB. Which everyone still playing is doing anyway but you know people will complain.

I wonder how are new players are going to get that ghost in the tower you can only get during IB.

Better get it next IB or you're fuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.

A well coordinated team should be able too. 3 warlocks with nothing manacles and tier 5 discipline running the quick recharge on void kill. The hunter perk where grenade kills instantly refill melee and melee kills instantly refill grenade would work too. Should be interesting when roi drops with the new artifacts, no super with double melee and double grenade could really help during a week like this. No way I am messing with it this week though, good excuse to take a break from destiny until roi so everything feels fresh.

The problem is trickle and the fact that you need extended energy drain to get those grenades back. Otherwise you're going to spend a lot of time getting precision kills or playing a lovely neutral game. Sunsingers and radiance don't compare. Stormcaller grenades are straight rear end so playing Perpetual Charge ping pong is on a razor's edge. Besides, if you're using a Sunsinger or Stormcaller you aren't using the best class for grenade bonus CoE - Voidwalkers

Not even Simmering Flames helps Sunbreakers. That goes double for Strikers and Defenders because they have absolutely no way to increase their recharge with skills/talents. You could argue that Defenders could use their super to get an extra grenade from time to time.

Hunters are just rear end for this week. Nightstalker grenades are terrible and Bladedancers have the worst sticky in the game and no way to speed that recharge. Gunslingers are the only ones that can reliably use their grenades because of Scavenging.

It's a really lovely week for CoE.

Kiavahr posted:

If I had to do it I'd run a gunslinger, but I'd focus more on getting throwing knife chains. With a headshot kill worth melee+precision points it's the same as a grenade with bonus. Then it's just a matter of shooting your gun to get assists and make room for ammo to activate scavenger so you can throw the occasional grenade.

But I don't have to, so I won't.

Also trickle really shouldn't affect radiance or Army of One, but that would imply any thought had been put into it.

Trickle affects grenade recharge from radiance. You will not throw grenades as fast as you would w/o it. Army of One and Grenadier are good ways to recharge your abilities but once again you are getting kills and precision kills which are not as many points as grenade kills.

Actually my fault on the description - artifacts are in the loot table though for Daughters and for Oryx. Court might still be easier, but Daughters is very easy if you have a good group. I wouldn't mess with Hard Oryx with randoms.

Artifacts are not in the loot table for Daughters and artifacts are only in the loot table for Oryx during challenge mode. Doth thou even raid, brother?
