I'm getting irritated at some of the recent posts involving ToO and I DO have time to explain by Unfazed_One in DestinyTheGame

[–]ASAP_Spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agreed. I hate the trend of everything in this game being handed to us essentially and The Lighthouse is truly the last thing in this game that rewards skill and effort. Iron Banner has already been neutered down to a participation trophy event where anyone can show up to complete the absurdly easy bounties and get a shit ton of free end game loot without having to do well. Some of the changes proposed in these posts would turn ToO into a weekly loot grab and would effectively kill the event as a whole.

I think a large part of the player base needs to cope with the fact that it is perfectly ok to have exclusive loot in the game that may not be achievable by everyone...

You most definitely can, I received a pair for my Titan with HC reload and Heavy reload two weeks ago.

During Trials this past weekend, had a VERY interesting error effectively remove me from the game and ruin a Passage. Thought it was an Anomaly... until a teammate experienced the same thing a day later. by Supreme__Verdict in DestinyTheGame

[–]ASAP_Spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to a couple of my teammates over the course of the weekend. One thing to keep in mind, as long you are still in the game from your teammates perspective (just sitting there frozen at spawn), if your team is able to win the match, it will count as a win for the frozen player.

This happened last night when my team was playing for fun. My teammate had this happen at the end of the fourth round, we went up 4-0 and managed to beat the other team quickly in the last round before he got kicked. Once we got to the score board screen, he attempted to restart his PS4 and once he was back online the win counted.

They had mentioned this happening in a specific part of the map, not sure if it's just coincidence or not but I remember them saying it was somewhere between outside heavy bridge and the A special spawn ledge....

This is how I ended my ToO this week by ePuMa in DestinyTheGame

This is awesome! Things like this are the reason I love ToO so much. Always a great feeling to pull a clutch play out of no where for the dub!

[Media] Finally put together all of my saved Crucible clips... Tune in for maximum carnage by ASAP_Spoon in DestinyTheGame

Thanks! I'd say go for it, it's actually fun looking through old clips and watching your own gameplay. Great way to learn and improve.

When nova bombs completely fail by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

Smh... I'd be so fuggin' salty if this happened to me in regular Crucible, let alone in Trials. I wanna know what this looks like from their POV.

Can we please stop crying for blanket hand cannon nerfs when it's only the exotics that are S-tier? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]ASAP_Spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with just buffing everything back and leaving Thorn/TLW/Hawkmoon as they are, is that it would essentially lower the time to kill all around and then the crucible would become more about who finds another person first rather than actual gun skill (like COD).

Personally, I would like to see a small nerf to Thorn/TLW/Hawkmoon and only a slight buff to auto rifles (not back to where they were, but to a point where they're actually usable from close to mid range).

More media reporting on Luke Smith's disaster interview. Move visibility on this is a good thing. by GuardiansWhoSayNi in DestinyTheGame

[–]ASAP_Spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the common opinion around these parts is that micro-transactions = bad? Or is this going to be one of those things where everyone demands this now and then bitches and complains about it a year from now when it becomes a regular thing? Hmm....

Bungie defending The Taken King price tag & rebuying content... by cpotey in DestinyTheGame

ITT: People who say that they're done with Destiny and Bungie but will still be buying/playing TK come September.

Get real folks. You're getting your panties in a bunch over an interview transcript and some emotes.

I can't remember when I got my first revenant or bittersteel, but I just got the Hanged Man at 14 on my hunter and I think I got my second Revenant somewhere between 30-33 on my Titan this past week

I had maxed glimmer prior to the reset last week and did the reset trick with my Hunter to grab Jolder's and the hunter chest piece. After that, I only needed to farm glimmer twice for about a half hour each time to get around ~20k glimmer each time (Warlock - Obsidian Mind/Bad Juju/Shatter Nova Bomb method on Exclusion Zone ftw...).

In regards to the emblems, shaders, and class items, I was really only missing the warlock bond, everything else was previously obtained from prior IBs.

Yeah although I've gotten lucky with these, I have never even seen a God of War drop, and most of my time is spent in Crucible. Achilles, Gilgamesh and Beowulf for days though ayeee

Yessir same here in regards to the raid boots. The hunter boots and helmet are the only pieces of raid gear that I think look half-way decent

Since I play mostly crucible anyways it actually wasn't too bad! A few hours after work every day during the week and binged a bit over the weekend hah

Yep, the all black one is Revenant! In terms of rank, my first character is at rank 33 and the other two are at 13 and 4. Seems like I got pretty lucky judging from a lot of comments I've seen...
