I am hoping they at least give us this last week, so that we can register them into the kiosks. Not having space to cover all of them (Petra, Eris, Variks, etc) is obnoxious.

How often does the PS4 "wake up" to check if there are updates?

that one time what you've set it to check updates on, mine does it around 11AM.
My Crucible win count is low, but I do know that Elimination wins are counted per round. Stands to reason that Trials wins are counted like that as well.

...I think I'm going to skip out on a video on how to write a research paper in a fucking college class and head back around 12 CST for this.

"I did this super cool thing and got this super cool reward, but won't display it because everyone has it."
I mean really? Other people completing the same content makes the activity feel less rewarding? I understand wanting to look unique, but there's already plenty of shaders and emblems for diversity's sake. The relevant end game content has always been a good challenge level, many of us may have beaten Skolas several times already but that is still a challenging boss encounter. Going flawless in Trials may be trivial for some but needing to go 7-1 naturally means most people won't get it since each I'd your 7 wins is some other team's loss.
I'm curious how challenging some people want the rewards to be? Or rather, what percentage of the player base should be able to obtain it?

Just checked. I have 1,076 wins. That number makes a lot more senseYeah, that doesn't seem right.
I played Control almost exclusively until sometime after Dark Below, and then started to favor the 3v3 playlists.
I've also been to Mercury like 8 times, so that alone would be (8*3*9) 216 games, so something isn't adding up.
As for Elimination, no clue how it's registered. But in any case a trip to Mercury is 7 wins assuming you have all the boons. 8 times would just be 56 wins, unless you mean you've done 8 times on each character.

Hopefully it will be mentioned in the patch notes then we'll be aware if we need to get anything grabbed before the update lands.

Oh boy, the 2.0 comes closer every minute.
Anyone up for starting a brand new character to start leveling up? Maybe missing a certain 3rd class out of your roster? Time to experience the EXP leveling and quest system in old content
I have a level 3 hunter that I could level up

It's called Supply and Demand.
When the Supply, or in this case availability, increases, the Demand for said item decreases.

I was using bad math.
8 times is the number of Times I've opened the Mercury Chest
3 times is the number of players on my team that played. This was using the idea that maybe you get wins from your fireteam as well.
9 times is the number of wins needed on a card. I forgot to factor in the trials buffs that would drop this down to 7.

I wanna make a DGAF T-shirt. Yeah. I'm gonna make one.
Every round you win in a trials/elimination match is counted as a win. Don't know why. Made getting the Elmination card easy though.Yeah, that doesn't seem right.

Heh, got more or less the same connection. ^^
I can have fiber but I've been lazy, need to have a technician come and do holes in the flat and all, tsk...

Not a big PVP guy. I'm just glad to get grandfathered into 34. I wasn't too keen on the idea of grinding from level 25 to 40.

Ohh, you should use the logo from Lnkn's new banner in the OP that incorporates Zoba's (?) GAFeller icon.

Not often enough, I had this problem with Destiny's last major patch, it didn't download anything even though the patch was out for a few hours. I was in rest mode, and have the option for automatic downloads set to yes.
I brought my vita to work today, so I can force it through when it release.... or I might just stop home for lunch.
Yup, after the patch no weeklies, nightfalls or dailies until TTK drops next Tuesday.
Put me down as a purchase

I understand the supply and demand mentality, I just don't think it works well for designing the end game rewards. Again, what percentage of people is low enough for the supply be Lee enough/demand high enough to display the reward? Now, are you really going to create an end game activity designed for that few of people to complete? I don't think that would be very good game design.
There's still good supply/demand stuff locked behind RNG such as Revenant, and it works fine there.
There was a misunderstanding here. I never said activities themselves are less rewarding because others do them. I don't care how many people did Crota's End the first week, I still had a blast going in blind. Enjoyment of the activity itself is independent of clearance percentage. But a cosmetic trophy is totally meaningless when it's not exclusive. Not just here, anywhere.
Like if every time you hand somebody a cup of coffee you got a Nobel, the Nobel would be worthless. And people should still get credit for handing out coffee of course. But for those who do something more meaningful, a different tier of recognition is fitting.
Skolas and Flawless ToO are super challenging, but the nature of the activities means the challenge isn't necessarily evenly distributed. I have been to Mercury multiple times, but only because I've played with guys who are better than I am. My ToO K/D is 1.00 - you need to at least kill more than you die if you wanna win 7 straight matches
I'll go further. My little brother went to Mercury as a level 27 with blue weapons. And no mic. And having never played 3v3 (he didn't even know you could revive others). Bam, he's got the emblem too. Didn't even use the Mercy and 6 of the 7 matches were 5-0. Because pros are pro and he got help from 2 of them.
And that's a good thing! It promotes a community that helps. But someone like Drizz who gets 100 people their Skolas emblem should perhaps have a badge of his own to mark his feat no? Or guys who take people to Mercury all weekend long, every weekend - some for the fame and donations, others in anonymity just to help out - shouldn't they have a token to display the skill and dedication this requires?
As for how many people? A few dozen, a few hundred? Something rare enough to stand out would be great for this game.
Likely a new patrol event for the Taken. Also, tomorrow you can start using the gunsmith's new weapons for armsday/rep.

The original story missions have been remolded to fit into the new quest system.
Not sure exactly what that entails, so maybe?

The Purifier Robes are not that good, I tired in PvP for Trials and PvE in Nightfall. It's too situational. The Blinding area of affect only affects the location of your Rebirth.
The blinding affect does not follow your movement while you are in Radiance from Rebirth.

make a wifi hotspot out of your phone!
I'd have to add a mobile hotspot to my cellular plan. I've thought about doing it before, but I wouldn't actually be able to make use of it very much.
I'll theoretically be getting all the HoW exotic weapons for free by virtue of lassitude... lol. Hey why not.
