I think if you go up a level from say 38 to 39 it can charge your super.

If you level up (from 35 to 36 for example) you get an automatic super fill. After level 40 it won't happen again. They may have popped a bounty at the start to level up and get a super.

I cannot get over the fact that you employed no evasive manoeuvre on seeing that first grenade, in my eyes you deserved to die by any and all means. You gotta let go of that take a knee thing.

I never knew that was a thing, I had heard about the infinite warlock res.

Looking at the video the fella is already LvL 40 so no idea how he has popped his super so quick.

Just a heads up for whoever didn't know that you can cheese the Chaperone quest by loading up a Private Match of Rift, setting the Points Needed to 2,500 and Playing on Burning Shrine with a friend 1v1. Quick wins overall

Huh.... remember Bungie saying exotic quests wouldn'tprogress in private matches - but general bounties could be.

Dude was saying his heavy ammo in rumble bounty didn't proc the other day when we were in a private match... so fook knows.

In fairness something working they way they intend would simply break the game for us :P

Exactly, it wouldn't BE Destiny if everything worked as intended.

3 more hours to the dawning and bye bye to green's forever (hopefully).

Can't say I like this though,

"Eververse will be selling ‘The Dawning’ Treasure boxes which will contain cosmetic items and a new armour set ONLY available through the boxes"

I wouldn't mind stuff like this behind a paywall, if at least you can grind for it aswell. I would have filled 100's of those candy bags if I thought I could have gotten the "ghost ghost", but no way I'd leave real money upto RNG with the store.

China (of all places) recently banned the sale of randomised loot in video games unless drop rates and probabilities are shown

Hopefully it'll catch on elsewhere

Class, reckon you'd be in for some shock if you saw the math behind RNG. I never minded people buying those radiant treasure boxes last april to get the taken armor, for the rest of us who don't want to waste the money at least you still got your one chance every week with the free treasure box.

Great to be back playing some pvp without iron banner. Levelish playing field is how it should be.

Are you sure that the Dawning treasure boxes are only available through Eververse? I bet you'll be able to get at least one per character throughout the event. They mentioned in the release notes that we'll get "gifts" throughout the Dawning, whatever they may be. The trailer shows some lad getting two exotic engrams and 25 strange coins. I'd take that

Good to see you no longer need to complete the mountaintop quest line to do the weekly crucible bounty.

Patch notes.

I disagree, should improve the weekly crucible bounties,and leave the quest as is. What's the point in the quest if it isn't to gain access to the bounties. Seems like a lot of work for nothing much.

Year 3 is making Year 2 matter less same way Year 2 made Year 1 matter less.

Is there any substantial in the Dawning update?

I know SRL is back but that isn't enough to bring me back. Are there any new quests or missions?

Angron

Started the download, and now it has stalled on 24MB, which took almost an hour to do. Been on to Eir about this, so they are sending out a new modem tomorrow, because this is a bloody joke.

Doubt a new modem would do any good, I've Eir myself and my download speeds are always terrible when the weather is bad.

My download was stuck on 10% for more than half an hour today, and when it was downloading left it for half an hour in rest mode and only 300mbs had downloaded.

There's new music

The speeds are terrible because the 12 deals of Xmas are on so lots are downloading TF2, there was a destiny update and a cod update. PSN speeds are always awful when the network is busy.

There's also a big Overwatch update

Not really, SRL, 3 updated strikes and 3 "new" exotics

Angron

Nah, for me it's more than issues with the speed. Devices can't stay connected to the net, took me about an hour to get my 3DS to connect at one point.

Sounds like your wifi connection is full. This happened to me on my old router, the only way I could get a stable connection when connecting a device was to remove another one.
