Screw Cathedral of Dusk -___-

Was so surprised to see it pop up twice, and even more so NOT to see 'A guardian has left your fireteam' in the bottom corner.

That game right afterwards in Sector 618 was unplayable. Whole team was lagging. Like all 12 players had Yellow (or Red) bars. Was a total mess. God that was frustrating.

I had no lag at all in that match - was just team shotted by 3 or 4 every time.

Enjoyed my return to Destiny after my mini break and the 3 games I played before Virgin decoded I'd had enough! Busy busy with December boozing so will only get to play Friday and Sunday I'd say.

I'll give you my login details if you want to play @ 399

Bounties are piss easy at least, got all 4 done in about 2hrs. Rift is so much better than Clash, it's not even fair.

Finally had the Iron Banner sparrow drop, I'm up to 399 now

AdamD

Got to 383. I'd say > 90% of people were 400 which wasn't great. Got my groove back though, those warlock gloves are outrageous.

Scout Rifle looks like a decent roll
Braced Frame , (the one that gives you more bullets) and hidden hand


Have one like it though except my middle perk is snapshot

Mitch Connor

Played 16 games in Iron Banner so far and only got the one weapon drop - a truly crap roll on the Distant Star. RNG not liking me this time around.

AdamD

I've had 1 Scout drop and both of my packages gave me Sidearms :pac: woeful stuff

Wouldn't bother with the Scout or Fusion anyway tbf

At least our call outs are steadily improving.

"The enemy has collected the spark"

Mise: He's gone through centre pushing left.

Conovar: Which left?

Mise: Ahhh...theee one.... ye know with the wall.

"The enemy has ignited your rift"

He's gone inside.

My IB so far, not too much lag except for one game where half the team were red-bars and they were the ones to pick the spark, at least that game didnt last long. Got a good few distant stars to drop, but not really my gun so couldnt tell ya if the rolls are worth it.

More so than anything in this IB its the amount of post game messages you get, never understood it why bother.

It all depends on the context of the message.

"You suk ballz noob" yeah why bother.
"ja seit die beste" Why thank you.

Do you guys actually get messages? Don't recall ever getting one! Played it a tonne too


Somebody send me hate mail so I don't feel left out :pac:

yup, its not like I'm an mlg pro or USMC rated sniper, in fact I've only ever had 1 snipe in crucible.

I think the worst ever was some guy last year during SRL just sent me "c**t" , I replied "??" and got worse back. block , report and move on.

That hate mail we got/get for playing in a Team is hilarious. :pac:

Half way through level three and have three bounties to cash in. do they still go up in exp on the Monday before IB is over?

Also, went on a horrific losing streak. Think we lost 14 or 15 games straight before we won.
and the one we won, I ended up carrying the team, ended up with double the points of anyone else on either team. Then it was back to losing mostly, poxy red bars.

Actually shot a guy and seen his health go back up as I was emptying the clip into him...

runawaybishop

There is no increase rep over time any more. Cash them in whenever you want. They also will not carry over till the next IB so no point saving them

Had some really good games last night and some truely awful ones. The connection issues in some of the games were crazy,never knew that was such a problem.

Found i was either in a team that stomped the opposition or a team that got stomped. Not many close games

I was like this bar one game where we lost by ten points.

Every other game was either winning/losing by a very large margin
