Exactly. I come and say "Okay, only an hour or so to clean up bounties." *5 hours later* "One more PVP match".

Though last night I was super tired.



Fuck March - damn who knows what I'll be playing by then. (I actually know I'll be playing Witcher 3, Bloodborne, and No Man's Sky)

I'll be playing a lot in March as well but there isn't really any heavy hitting multiplayer or co-op MMO / Shooter games hitting around that time. I'll honestly probably be playing this game pretty regularly for a long time. Though I get that won't be the case for everyone.

Kinda the same here. Of course, I've dumped an insane amount of time (for me at least) in the game since I got it. Have a level 22 Hunter, 21 Titan, and 16 Warlock. Want to get the Warlock softcapped before I start the grind.

I stated this the other day, but it's insane how many games Im the only one in the room that doesn't get anything after crucible matches. One of my last games of control, everyone got two items, most blue, one got a legendary! I got nothing, despite carrying the team.

I've only gotten one purple so far (helmet for my titan) and no yellows. :(

While loot drops are random and frustrating when you lead a team or always are at the top, I feel like its not that bad since most of the time I am working on bounties or gaining marks so its a win/win really. If you play enough you will get dat loot.

So now that we had bug/glitch/exploit for "infinite" Strange Coins and it was hotfixed by Bungie did they also do rollbacks to accounts that abused said bug? I personally think they should rollback fruits of exploiting even if game doesn't really have economy to break.

OK, good, I'm not the only one with a video game drug problem. I literally have crafted my schedule around the game this week.

LOL what the hell is this combined arms garbage? Playing on only First Light and Bastion? Get a brain, Bungie morans.

I kind of like the fact that he moves.

Also, Diablohead...I am dying right now. That exploit is hysterical in that PvP mode. To think they didn't check for that.

I guess it's somewhat minor if the other team realizes and zeroes in on you, though.

Well I also have Halo coming out. It'll be nice to play a balanced arena shooter again.

Yes, it always cracks up that I had a huge disdain for this game until the day it launched lol.

So he is selling a Titan helm and a Hunter chest. Nothing for Warlock besides the gloves. Will the items rotate or is this it for today and tomorrow?

Took another pic of the bonuses, decent for certain builds. Spawn with grenade replenished and there is one add'l axion bolt that seeks targets (I don't use the bolts but may give it a go to test it out)
Click to expand...

Thanks for the quick update! It looks awesome visually, but those bonuses do nothing for me. Think I'll still hold out for a helm and use my motes for a bond instead. I may not be able to find an exotic that gels perfectly with my preferred build choices, but I hope there are better options out there compared to what I've seen.

I tried Superman as the normal skill for a bit and, I COULD HAVE BEEN USING IT WRONG, but it felt less useable. Seemed like it required more planning whereas normal Fist of Havoc is an amazing "Oh shit!' button.

Like in the time it takes to jump and come down, normal Fist of Havoc could've wrecked that Bladedancer. That's the only reason I'd hesitate.

Maybe I just won't use it on maps like Twilight Gap.

Well, you can still do the regular oh shit! attack if you've not jumped, and I agree it does require a little more planning.....but super manning a group of guardians squatting on a flag is sooo damn satisfying and fun to watch :D It's more of an optional extra than replacement of the standard foh.

Just completed a full set of legendary and exotic armor. :]

Nice. I think it's a bit of a shame the exotic helm doesn't recolour to match a shader. The new titan helm being a bit of a shiny gold-ish colour sticks out against the rest of my beowulf armour.

I think it's just because this is only the second week we've had Xur, and there was no prior mention of him moving around. I doubt there'll be as much confusion next weekend.

I don't feel this personally. I actually enjoy the pvp though, and I played halo pvp tons without any progression at all.

Still, what kind of progress does everyone want. Maxing out classes, legendary weapons and armors, etc takes forever. Even if your light level isn't going up, you are improving all of that. And earning marks and levels to buy more legendaries

Maybe I'll feel a little burned once I got full legendary and exotic sets. But seeing how long it's taking me to buy legendaries and max them, it's gonna take forever. And in the hunters case, both gunslinger and blade dancer are extremely viable so maxing those will take time as well.

I feel bungie should have increased the soft level cap just a bit maybe, or maybe made it so light levels had a bit of a grind to them as well with normal xp. Just so people don't feel like progress is halted due to random drops. Cuz I'm convinced everyone has tons of shit to do, they just don't. Feel it since that one light level number isn't going up

If I don't get another Legendary Armor, then I might get stuck at 25, but here's how/why that won't happen:

Allllll the stuff I do is working towards two tracks:
a) Getting mats (EW, I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID IT I HATE SPEAKING IN MMO) and XP to upgrade what I already have
b) Getting marks and rep to get more legendaries

I haven't spent a single game minute since hitting 22 that wasn't working towards that goal. I know that for a while I'm going to technically be stuck at 24, but a single level in defense on a legendary is going to fill the bar like 1/3rd of the way.

As long as you realize that you're progressing even when your yellow bar hasn't moved, well, at least for me, I never feel stuck in one place.

Precisely. If you raise rep, you're investing in the long term for a vendor that will sell you Legendaries without question.

So last night I was doing some quick bounties and returned to the Cosmodrome for 6 Patrol missions. While there the public event with the Fallen Devil Walker happened. I, a lvl 16 Titan, was in the area with a lvl 20+ guy. We engaged and took it out in less than a minute! I was able to stumble it's legs with half a machine gun clip!

It was pretty freaking awesome to fell an enemy so quickly that you previously fought for upwards of 5-10 minutes. So while I certainly get people's beef with the bullet sponge bosses, the design made for a pretty amazing moment.

Guys I don't think Xur is selling coins anymore via mat exchange... I checked with my level 3 hunter and I had just bought a single coin from him in the morning. Now nothing. My friend just came online and he didn't get option from either of his characters to buy a strange coin either... Can someone corroborate with me?
