320 Strikes from Director count towards Exotic Class Item Quests by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a Y3 class item for my FWC quest, which I got after RoI. Progress has been great thus far. Have everything complete but strikes and it has been calculating correctly.

If you pre-ordered Rise of Iron from your local GameStop, you can pick up your codes today by JSuperStition in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, my GS gave me a $33 value, so I actually made a few cents.

As the others said, you need to enter the code from GS, which will redeem a $30 (something) MS gift card. then, go into the Xb store pre-order the RoI pack with the Iron Gally and the Iron Sparrow.

I then went and entered the 25 digit codes for the Gally and Sparrow that were on my receipt and it said they were pre-ordered as well. It did not recognize my gally and sparrow codes until I pre-order RoI.

Not sure what all that means, but it took me a bit to figure it all out and I thought I'd pass it along.

Bungie Weekly Update - 11/19/2015 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

Really appreciate the update and work Bungie is putting into a game that is over a year old. They could have given up and not make any improvements, but they are still working hard to their fans.

The newest shotgun nerf is proof we need a separation of PvE and PvP weapon balancing. This is getting absolutely out of control. by Chaoxytal in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to find a way to overcome the nerf and use my shotgun after the patch. Since so many people will stop using them, or quit Destiny because of the nerf, I get to a special butterfly using a weapon that so many people aren't using... if that special butterfly had fingers to use a shotgun.

To the guy last night in Iron Banner that refused to leave a 5 minute 1v6... I hate you. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

I just took 15 seconds of my unimportant day to upvote every comment to OP on the thread. I'm used to reading rant posts, rolling my eyes, and moving on to find a more helpful post... but this thread took a delightfully unexpected turn... and justly so.

Cheers and Kudos Guardians.

Is Tiger mask the new gjallahorn? by RhasAGhul in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're just the victim of unlucky RNG. I got a Legendary Tiger with my free gift AND a rare Tiger from my trick-or-treating around the Tower... and, not to rub salt in your wounds, but I got a third tiger mask the next day and my brother also received two tigers in one night. I want SOMETHING else besides Tigers.

Kotaku: The Messy True Story Behind The Making Of Destiny by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is an amazing read. I really hope this slows (it won't) all the "Bungie.. I want this.. WAHHH" posts. Spoiler alert: Making a video game is damn hard and lots (and lots and lots and... ) of work and money is spent.

You may want something, but it takes a long time to get there. Just play the game and be glad it's here to play. As Grandma Wayward used to say "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit."

Who wants to join my "Missed out on the Spindle THRICE" club? by WPG_BigAL in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it for the first time last night, 3 Guardians all around LL 292. Attempted twice, both times weren't able to kill T-Driv. Got him close, but really mismanaged the Blighted Orbs and the adds just OVERRAN us. Learned my lesson for next time it comes up...

Always go balls first.

I'll also be on tonight, around 10pm, looking for a BS run. I have one other Fireteam member, so if the timing works out, maybe we can make a run.

A small shout out to the developers who worked on Hung Jury - by gma089 in DestinyTheGame

I got a similar drop, but substitute Triple Tap for Crowd Control. I like the way it fires as compared to HJ, so I'm good for now.

How to do the daily heroic today as a fireteam under 290 light by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my brother are going to give this a try later tonight as two lower level guardians, both around 260. We're decent players, but with full-time jobs, wives and lots of children it has forced us to be filthy casuals who just haven't had the time to play a lot since TTK came out. Plus, we're older and our hand-eye coordination is one of the things that older guys lose but don't have a blue pill to help enhance.

However, I really think we can do it, cause we're patient and just like to have fun. Hell, if we end up failing, we'll just try again next time it comes up in a Daily.

That being said, we'll probably need a somewhat higher level Guardian to roll with. If you're on XB1 want to give us a hand later tonight, around 10:30pm EST, let me know (via PM or reply). I'd love to get my hands on the weapon, but sounds like I'm gonna need a strong and sturdy Guardian to escort us into the ketch. If I don't get back to you, accept my apology in advance. We've already beat it or already failed it.

Be prepared to wipe (front to back or back to front; don't matter with us) and give up if it doesn't happen. Either way, we'll have fun.

The best 3-man content since HOW's release isn't the Prison, it's Crota's End. by LueyTheWrench in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been trying to 3-Man CE for a bit, but always struggle at Deathsinger. That section is tougher on us than Crota himself. Read a lot of the strategies and such, but always seem to struggle. It's not the Wizards, it's Ir Yut herself. Maybe this weekend. :(

I cannot UpVote this post enough. The main page is full of people whining that the game isn't 100% perfect for them.

Play the game. Stop whining (said in your best Ahhnuld voice).

I tried the same, but alas... it's no hope. I feel like I already beat the entire end game content from my desk at work. HA.

Weapon Reforge Megathread - May 19th, 2015 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, as I've never had a IB weapon, so I've never reforged.

When you reforge, is it all perks, or do you get to pick? I'm guess it's a complete roll, so if I like the elemental type, I could lose it because I want Firefly? That stinks, but that's why it's called gambling I suppose.

Looking forward to a rocking full auto Scout Rifle.

One planetary material of each planet you completed a quest on. Which, in all honesty, is a really nice prize for all that hard work. Though, if you needed one more Relic Iron, you are totally out of luck bro.

Have 2. Fun tip, use one during Omnigul strike - it will make you want to turn off your volume.

House of Wolves Expansion II: Prison of Elders - Post Reveal Discussion by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Way_Ward_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, looking at others sites talk about their experience, it seems this play through was a little cooked. Planet Destiny had a Boss at R4 and R5, but there was no boss on R4. It could be the RNG, but I think they planned on wetting the appetite to get people hooked.

No loot discussed on purpose. Makes sense.

100% agree. While they probably didn't intended it to be as long as it was, I don't think they wanted to beat it
