3rd game - 10 kills 5 assists - score 2390
Kinda looks like I got progressively better as the games went on. Could be just coincidence or how the team in general performed though either.
Either way it was fun.
Yeah Unsung Hero means you got 3 assists without dying.Josey Wales wrote: »Has Xur ever actually sold an Exotic Helm for a Warlock? I know he has sold the Exotic Engrams in the past for a helm.
I'm sure he's had a helm for every class, thought he had the Apotheosis Veil at some point.0 -

Aren't you PS4? CANTO is Xbox One. Think there's been wires crossed there

He'll sell them at the new level but there's less of a chance of him selling one than him having one for trade is what I'm saying.0 -

Well it's good you haven't touched them as you have nothing to lose if they are base leveled weapons. I have 9 exotics total, 1 fully levelled, 2 almost fully levelled and 2 halfway.
What I'm planning on doing is swapping the 4 I haven't even touched for the newer versions and level them. IF i find myself not being able to live without a 323 damage Ice Breaker, THEN I will scrap it and relevelling it.
I honestly played the bulk of the game using weapons only upgraded to receive "buffs" and not bothered with the last 4 Damage only upgrade nodes, it made very little impact to the overall game if we're honest.

Pain in the ass though changing it to needing rep marks as well as the normal ones considering how long it takes to level up, especially the Crucible. Plus more bloody currencies in the Tower, the rep marks bring it to 7 in such a small area, 8 if you count the radiant ones for Eris.
They need to Eurozone these f**kers :pac:SolvableKnave wrote: »Man they have really fcuked up here. Why bother leveling ANY exotic, old or new, if you have to re-grind when new DLC drops. Guarantee exotics from Dark Below will have to be levelled again when Wolves drops.
I wouldn't be so sure about this, if the levelling of past exotics is such a problem this time round, I would be very surprised if Bungie did not learn from their mistakesAlso, Raid Primaries will only drop from the Hard Raid, which won't be live until January.
I only recently purchased the DLC pack, not sure what to think. 35 quid down the drain?
I always considered a game to be good value if you get 1 hour per €2 cost, i guess it's what you consider value, it's subjectiveJosey Wales wrote: »I feel a little sorry for Murphyebass too.

Done about 7 Nightfalls and never got much to write home about, promised land hahaSaid before I've never played a PvP where I considered one gun OP. The Vex has proved me wrong. Why people aren't flinging themselves off roofs over it is beyond me.
You can only get that weapon by doing the hardest activity in the game, everyone who has a Vex has earned it, and it's ok if it's a bit OP as it gives people a goal to achieve, I want's me one of those (that being said we've often done Control with 6 people from the clan and they don't always finish 1st etc)Think I'm about done, was tempted by the DLC but, no. Destiny 2... no chance. It will no doubt be better than the first. They seem to want to listen to the community and improve the game as they go along, but surely it shows them to be chancers. If this is the future of gaming, good luck to it...
I might be in the minority, but with the last 2 big updates (the 2GB+ ones), the news announced yesterday and the DLC coming, I think they have done a great job in balancing and fine-tuning the game. It is a very different experience now compared to launch. You can actually do 10 bounties a day no problem and they have fixed the farming (and I was a LOUD complainer about that)They have found the perfect way to have us hooked up to the game, and if they feel we are losing interest they make sure they find a new way of getting us to spend more time in it.
They should be ashamed of themselves!
That's all activisions doing. If it's something you like (listening to the community) it's Bungie, if it's something you dislike (slicing away 1/6 of the base game for 2x DLC) it's Activisionmurphyebass wrote: »Thanks to the other boardsies as well for the crucible matches on Control. Think I finished last most times but felt like I contributed at the same time.
The team won so that's the main thing, honestly only about 1/2 the PS4 clan plays control together and we kind of have a system which differs from map to map, a handful of more games another evening and you'll find it to be a different beast (20,000 - 4,000 anyone :pac:)I thought the best thing about my first Night Fall was the blue flamey head you can show off in the Tower
Memories :PNo harm to still buy a piece of armour or weapon just don't level them up until you trade them in for the better version. Don't rank up any factions either, get them close to ranking but don't rank them until after the change. There's not really much point playing at all now until the dlc drops tbh.
Yeah, I'm just gonna do the daily Mission and Daily patrol bounty for some Materials and level Legendariesmurphyebass wrote: »I think we got a medal at one point for getting was it 10 kills without anyone dying which meant I hadnt died in a few minutes which I was happy about :pac: but yeah I know what ya mean.
It took me about 2 months to get that and I'd consider myself a pretty decent PvP player, I just like to play it a bit fast and loose with the piece of flesh connecting my head to my body
ANYWAY...
I'm actually well impressed with how this game is developing, I probably would have put it down after 20 hours if I was playing solo for obvious reasons.
But I think if we all look back at the launch product and how well it's been polished in a mere 12 weeks, I think they've done a pretty decent job.
They've created a game where it started being all about light level, then it became all about level 30 armour and legendary weapons.
Then it became all about finding level 30 armour with your preferred buffs and stats (Intellect + Auto Rifle Reload vs Strength and Carry more Heavy Ammo etc).
Then it was re-rolling weapons you already had (3rd Shadow Price anyone? :pac: ) to get a decent PvP load out.
Trying to find the best exotics to suit your play style while still having 2 decent legendaries in your other slots
10 bounties over 5
Balanced and re-balanced weapons
Open local voice chat (granted we've never needed it because of the clan)
Matchmaking (likewise)
Fixed cheesing (I'm all for getting through the Raid fast, but nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment for doing it properly)
Sparrow Flips, "Look Mom, No Hands"
And.....
THE...
SWORD...
OF...
CROTA!!!
*zoom, schuuuummm, zuum, schum*
I'm in the business of cleansing the lands of darkness, and the Cosmodrome is my office.
Also, Exotics should be just that, Exotic, unattainable, revered, adored, lucky if you have 1 in each category, carefully picking your weapon of choice.
If you're expecting to be rocking 12 fully levelled Exotics, then you're looking at it wrong, Legendaries fair enough, but exotics should be the fist pumping "YES I F**KING GOT MURMUR, F**K YESSSSS!" Moments, the kinds of thing you'll tell your grandkids about :P
I for one cannot wait for the DLC 0 -

For PvP that's all you need really yeah but when it comes to high level PvE like Nightfall and hard raid the full attack makes a huge difference, they're also the nodes that take the most effort to get the mats for farming wise.
I have 5 fully maxed out exotics with two more that were only one node away from being maxed out, add to that 10 fully upgraded legendaries. These are all weapons I use regularly depending on the situation/my mood. It's a hell of a lot of hours to flush down the drain.0 -

There - I'm in the same boat. I'm delighted with the recent updates, and I think what's coming will be good The game is getting better, more balanced... Exotics are getting more exotic ( lately i did find myself using maxed out purples ... )
I am actually gutted : I'll been away for work next week, which means I'll miss playing with you guys the first few mission's ... I'll guess i'll do them with my misses on Friday evening after everyone else !0 -

Thats me in 360 form.
Sad to say but I'm only a couple of hours into bioshock actually
I made the jump to PS4 when I got one in argos for €330 with Killzone in Sept I think it was. If I hadnt got it that cheap I'd still be on 360 tbh.0 -
I wouldn't be so bothered about having to re-level the exotics if they had told us when they released the patch the last day. The patch encouraged me and loads of others I'm sure to go out and finish leveling up weapons that would have taken a lot longer to do otherwise and a few days later they make a release saying that I was wasting my time. They were either taking the piss or were just flat out incompetent with the way they handled it. I've never seen a company redeem themselves and then shoot themselves in the foot in such quick succession before.
Same here, having done all my main weekly bits on Tuesday, all I was focusing on was finishing levelling my main 5 other exotics once I read that last night, it was all I could do not to put the game down as it all seems counterproductive now.
Baring the Daily Mission and Daily Patrol Bounty just to bring in some shards and 24 materials quickly without doing circles, there's nothing left to do and anything else I do do will be counterproductive and resent in a few days anyway
FYI:Here’s how it works. Upgrading exotic weapons and armor is completed by interacting with the weekend vendor, Xur. When he arrives every Friday morning, he will now have a new option to upgrade one of your equipped exotic items. Each week, he’ll offer some (but not all) exotic items as being available to upgrade.
You’ll need three things. First, you need to own the original version of that exotic item, and turn it in to exchange for the upgraded version. It doesn’t matter if this old version of the item is brand new or fully upgraded. To complete the upgrade, you’ll also need to turn in an exotic shard. This recently introduced new material is available for purchase for seven strange coins from Xur, or by breaking down another existing exotic item in your inventory. Finally, each exotic upgrade costs a hefty dose of cash – around 7000 glimmer as of my playthrough of the expansion in mid-November. After turning all three of these things into Xur, he’ll hand you a brand new version of your item with a higher defense or attack value cap.
It’s important to note that this process resets the upgrades on your exotic item, but you’ll now have a new higher damage or defense cap to work towards – so you’ll need to decide if you’d rather keep your fully upgraded old version of a weapon or armor piece, or start over. With that said, the process of upgrading exotic items is now faster, and does not require ascendant materials. Instead, the last slot requires one additional exotic shard, as revealed in Monday’s patch.
With these changes in mind, players eager to start upgrading their exotics should be looking to save up glimmer this week, and also have enough strange coins on hand to purchase the requisite exotic shards.
Given this new feature, exotic items are ultimately far more valuable and important than standard legendary items. Where your older purple legendary items are left behind with the expansion, this change ensures that exotic items carry forward into the new content, and remain as powerful (and hopefully moreso) than new expansion-tier legendary items. It’s also important to note that these upgradeable exotics are available to all Destiny players once the expansion launches, not just the players who purchase The Dark Below. However, only owners of The Dark Below can get new exotics that launch with the DLC.
The crux of the problem really, scrap several hours upgrading an exotic to get <10% higher attack statsAs a result, I was surprised by how many of the developers piped up with their own frustrations at Destiny before I even mentioned them coming from the community. Like the broader game population, several Bungie devs bemoaned the tedious work of farming for destination materials in the launch game. Another spoke about their frustration at waiting for raid boots to drop in the Vault of Glass after weeks of fruitless attempts.
By engaging with Destiny side-by-side with the gaming community, the developers at Bungie are more than aware of the places in which Destiny still struggles. In many cases, I heard from team members about how eager they are to see specific changes go in that will improve the experience.
Given its scope and size, The Dark Below isn’t aiming to reinvent the Destiny experience. However, my time with the game has me excited, as it’s clear that Bungie is paying close attention to its players, and endeavoring to polish the game with each passing week and expansion.
