Destiny |OT28| Nolan Beyond

Error

Jealous of the Glory that is Johnny Depp
I'm a level 32 Titan with legendary armor and a few legendary weapons. Going to be picking up something from Xur this weekend possibly and a legendary primary because I still have a rare primary.
You can do normal or hard VoG easily at level 32.

Should be fine.
 
My Insanity knows no bounds with this game. I went to just starting with one character to going to 3 different classes. Now I am juggling 6 characters. 4 34s, a 28, and a level 2. At least I have the good sense to save the level 2 for the taken king's INSTA 25.

I have never been more conflicted on a day 1 purchase for a MGS game before. I want to buy it, but I know Destiny wont let me. It wont let me play any other games.
DAMN YOU DESTINY!

They're showing more than just the strike. It will also be the hypenaught exploration. Honestly think Bungie is blowing too much of their load.

Dreadnaught patrol is next week; it looks like this strike starts on the Dreadnaught and transitions into the Cabal ship. I do hope they practice great restraint next week - maybe only show one or two areas and don't go exploring. There's a huge amount they have not shown so far.

I want to know your pain but bungie wont allow me to create more than 3 characters. I want more!

Your Jade Rabbit is kind of off center though.

On purpose. Just like my spirit. Too much balance is boring.

I thought the Hypenaught was next week?

Other than the 1 new strike, I hope they show off the new strike playlist, rewards and how that works.

How long did it take? Haven't played IB since the beta so have no idea how long ranking takes. Want to hit 3.
Took me maybe four to five hours,probably. Since I focused on three chars you could easily hit rank 3 in that amount of time on one, especially since the buff gets more powerful as days go on

How can you say Hunters aren't as useful during PVE, Stealth Hunter is probably the game's best medic. Can't tell how many times a Stealth Hunter has save my ass during Nightfalls.

From what I've seen Nightstalker looks good for PVE what's with the tether thing and buffs it gives. I guess we'll see.

I think all classes have their usefulness during PVE. Titan Bubble shield, Warlock self res, and Hunter Stealth medic.

Stealth is nice, but Bladedancer has trash orb generation. I'm not a fan of Hunter in PVE whatsoever. They're godly in PVP but not so much in PVE imo.

They have to sell a $40 expansion, so more is better than less in this case.

If a new thread is created on gaming side to relate just to the TTK launch, it should not have an OT number in it. The 30th OT here (i.e. ~24700 posts from now) should of course be OT30.

Why is everyone skipping 29 for title suggestions? :p

Forever 29 was the front-runner, but it looks like a new challenger has appeared.

You might have missed the discussion earlier. We were debating whether it was better to split the threads or move over to gaming for a few weeks because the TTK launch thread conversation will be similar to what's taking place in this OT.

We could rechristen this thread as the DestinyGAF |OT| and have it be more community oriented. That wouldn't be unusual - in fact it might be preferred to some.

The problem with that however is that Destiny is in an awkward situation where the Gaming forum reception is still shaky. I think it'd be a waste to create a thread there and have it die down or lose activity because the most active [positive] posters will be in this one.

And yet, I still feel as though dropping the entire community in the main forum would be intimidating to new people. DGAF was in its infancy after the Alpha and Beta, but it's been a year since then and I'd like to avoid deterring people with meta-discussion.

As long as nobody's toes are being stepped on, we have plenty of time to figure out a solution.

Let's crack open the Vault of Glass and bring back some memories of how challenging it was, once upon a time. Let's get our worst armor and bring our level down, in true Vanilla fashion to a level 29 wipefest. Time: to be determined, but probably next week post Banana.

1. Ocean. The scrubbiest vet in the game.
2. Fig. Her back is strong, and she knows the Vault well...but the Vault knows her.
3. Hawk. This birdman will take a seat in the noob's seat for once and watch hobgoblins Sherpa his dead body into the darkness. A Hawkmoon might cry in the distance.
3. Rodiard. This man's insanity has been proven time and time again - Hawkifying, boarding hypenaughts, and using NLB.
4. Kalamari. I haven't played much with you, but bonds will be forged in the madness.
5. Nami. Your crazy needs no explanation.
6. Rayray. You won't steal my kills here, I won't allow it.

A few people were insane enough to show interest! EloquentM, Sentient - well 99% surely need alts with something "planned" this far in advance, so save your blues just in case.

Drizzay, we might need your calculator skills for minute details on under leveled Raid encounters. Stay tuned.

Sorry ocean. But i dont think anyone can take my title of scrubbiest vet in the game
Nah, my Gjallarhorn suicide skills are unparalleled.
 
I want to know your pain but bungie wont allow me to create more than 3 characters. I want more!

The other 3 are on my wifes account. I started for her. But I am the one that plays it the most. That will all change thank god when we get our second PS4 on 9/15. then we will be able to play together and the curse of 6 characters will be over
 
On another note, i'll probably end up deleting all of my characters again to start fresh. Go through the character motions again, see the new sights, grind some XP bars. And my k/d dropped below 3.0, which is unacceptable. I must reinvent myself.

Does not matter if we start VoG NM/HM or Crota HM it's up to you guys :)

Sounds like good competition times are sailing towards your nest.

Based on that it would seem there will be some extra stuff besides just the strike.

They have wet the appetite and now mostly everyone knows they're getting it. At this point, Bungie is just showing a lot.

In terms of OT: I don't care how we do it as long as there is continuity. Secondly, I don't think it will be intimidating at all. In fact, people will know there is a large number of folk to play with.
 
I agree to not have 2 threads, 1 on each side, of essentially the same thing.

But I do wonder if there should be an LFG only thread for a few weeks or so. Not only could people go there to avoid spoilers but it'd be a place strictly for grouping up.

I like how our community is a mix between everything but I just have a feeling it'll be a cluster when TTK releases. So this would just keep it semi organized for a few weeks.

Just a thought. I'm not sure which way is the best, in this case. I know people have problems even finding people to play with, on here at times. With this clear path thread, it'd be one to refresh only when looking.

As cool as a lot of this sounds, I'm glad they went away from rewarding exotics to you like a single player quest game and instead went for a loot game.

The game described sounds like a game you would play through once or twice and definitely not 1500 hours.

They do need to bring in more story element though and I hope TTK does that.

Because if it's anything other than

#Forever29 that's nothing other than a travesty :)

LFG thread is a good idea. We had one at launch last time as well.

That would mean though that we'd have to avoid putting LFG posts in the main one - at least for the first few weeks.

2.0 and the death of Thorn/Shot Package will be an interesting time for the Crucible. Of course good players will still be good, but they might briefly stand out even more when they're not being victims to unskilled bullshit kills from broken gear.

Just do some Vault juggling when deleting characters so you can keep the important things (TLW, Hawkmoon, Knucklehead, some good Class Items, and a Halloween consumable - everything else can go).
 
I say leave the community side thread alone to do it's normal thing.

Give gaming side a TTK catch up thread. A bit list of everything different from Vanilla Destiny that people used to bitch about all the time and let that turn into the TTK/Destiny thread over there.

Chances are it will die after less than a week because people mostly come into gaming side destiny threads to complain and they're running out of ammo more and more.

Some of us will hang out over there and act as herding dogs to suggestively move the new sheep over here. :p

I am ready for the raid!

#Forever29 #NotEnoughAssShards
Damn I thought this pic was a throwback until I saw the Grimoire and class item. You definitely won the style points, joining in themed gear :p I'll have to rock blues because all my VoG gear is Ascended #firstworldproblems
