Destiny |OT40| Killed by the Architects

With Counterbalance + Braced Frame + Persistence that thing is a freaking laser beam once you get the feel for it.
Feels good, man.

How do I get the new version of the orange year 1 sniper again? I want one.
If you meant LDR 5001, Vanguard rank ups. Meaning Strikes (what) or Patrol beacons (year) or V bounties (is this)

I wish there were a Rank 25 Vanguard Exotic Class Item which let me make V rep while playing Crucible. The dream...

Oh god. I can't grind strikes like some kind of savage.

Shaxx is also a troll. I ranked up on the card and he dropped a Longbow on me with:

ShortGaze

Partial Refund

Rifled
Smallbore

Mulligan

What am I supposed to do with this nonsense? I should just start trying to snipe I guess.

Got a longbow with hidden hand and almost max stability feels great.
 
Big ups to Gunnerz, Macello, Wicked, Fig, and Phaethon for the excellent raid!

We went Leeroy Jenkins on that bitch. Phaethon the REAL MVP.

I started Destiny back up this weekend, and that was clearly a mistake since I'm running into bugged quests that won't complete.

"With Finesse and Speed" gets to the final turn-in and there is no quest reward to select, and thus I can't turn it in.

I'm having the same problem with that quest. It's either bugged, or we were supposed to do it during SRL.

Yeah definitely agree about blast radius being the most important stat, especially after the G&H nerf. Velocity is nice but in practice I don't notice much difference between getting a kill or not.

That said, Legendary RLs are a moot point for me currently since I always run Truth. Exotic primaries feel so lackluster right now, I'm not crazy about any of them. I feel like a god rolled PDX45/Hawksaw and CB Doctrine are the best primaries flat out, and freeing up your exotic slot for Truth is just a bonus. Kind of a bummer tbh.



Are you using Braced Frame? Also, remember the importance of Persistence. With a 54 mag you can start pre-firing before engaging the enemy and still have plenty of bullets for one or even two kills. With Counterbalance + Braced Frame + Persistence that thing is a freaking laser beam once you get the feel for it.

Yep... I'm SO used to the PR (been using Nirwen's a lot), I'm sure I just need to get used to the AR feel again. I have the vendor Hawksaw, too, and I've been using that a little bit. I share my account with my son and he's been using the doctrine and struggling (he's pretty newb at PvP, though).

Every once in a while, I get completely shredded by someone with a doctrine, though, so I know it can be awesome.

Yeah that was an SRL quest that rewarded a crummy sparrow: EV-42 Nightsteed

Abandon it.

Doctrine requires some degree of muscle memory to compensate for the recoil. Keep using it and after a while it will become second nature.
 
Please stop posting negativity about the GoFundMe in the thread. If you have a problem with me, send me a PM. If you have a problem with Neo, send me a PM. Keep that garbage out of the thread, enough is enough.

Yeah, I totally understand that. PRs and autos have very different feels to them. Personally I suck using pulses because the bursts throw me off. I'm used to either picking single shots with hand cannons or spraying down with bullet hose autos. There's enough weapon balance currently that you don't have to use any one weapon to be competitive, so stick with what you enjoy. The Doctrine is very strong right now so you might warm up to it eventually but force it if you aren't digging it.

Popped the Trials gold package as a 330. Got a 330 artifact? That's really a thing?

Between that and my IB packages on all 3 characters dropping nothing useful at all (fusion rifle on one, mark on one, nothing at all on the third) it was a tough week for rewards for me. Random IB drops were better. I did really enjoy IB though.

3 HoJ packages, 3 Soulstealer's Claws. To add insult to injury, the first one had the exact roll I was looking for (Rangefinder + double stability perks) and every one since then has been garbage.

Room for 3 on this 3 man train. Will wait in orbit a bit after this match.

I'll jump in when I get chance. No mic and on wireless, apologies if I suddenly disappear.

Hey Drizz I sent you a message but will post this here too - I have to crash as I have to be up really early to go to NYC for work this week. My offspring (Josh) would like to get a spindle, but doesn't have one yet. He's over 310 now.

I am lame because I would help but have to put other kiddo in bed and then crash myself.

:(

If peeps might be able to help him I would be most grateful. If not I totally understand.

His PSN is SunfirePrime

I think the Black Spindle mission was the coolest thing to discover and do in Destiny.


I agree. Basically a mind blowing move.

Met two of the best fireteam-mates I've ever played with that day.
Defyler, Zurge and I got through that daily on our first couple of attempts. (Maybe 3rd or 4th)
And then we started reading and hearing about how most people were having a considerable amount of trouble with it.

Gotta admit our ease to success in that mission made me feel pretty leet for a minute (or two) haha

Question for PS4 users, how often do you buy new DS4 controllers?

Mine seem to be lasting about 1 year from "heavy" use -- especially the L1 button because mashing it furiously to Titan skate. I suppose one a year isn't too bad considering?

Just bought my 3rd one today. I had a Day 1 PS4 too.

I have my launch controller and the Hori FPS Pad. I only use the Hori since it came out.
 
OMG Kraftyys playing on his warlock, I figured he didn't have alts considering I've only ever seen him as a hunter, or at least alts that are leveled up.

This is most likely referring to my post. I won't try to explain myself, but I do want to say again that my post wasn't intended to be negative but it did come out the wrong way and what I intended to say got garbled. This is what I agreed with yesterday about the whole thing. Hope there are no hard feelings.

No hard feelings at all dude. I appreciate both this post and your original post you linked. Like I said on Discord, I just want people to focus on the good stuff. All the hard work Neo has done and the incredible generosity of everyone who donated.

I've been meaning to write a longer post about it, to explain a little backstory and say thanks to everyone. Just been super busy this weekend w/ life + Trials. Also gotta get that OT41 ready.... I'll post it before we close out OT40 here soon. Thanks for everything you bring to the community, sincerely.

I already told the mrs. I'd watch GoT with her after we finished our last
scrubby
Trials card. Will he still be around later or is it pushing his bedtime? Sorry I missed this earlier! If he still needs one next time it rolls around then I'm totally down for it.

Can I get 1 to help out with Warpriest Challenge? Just trying to get it done. We've got one person that hasn't done it before so there may be a wipe or two but hoping for easy completion.
