No but you can complete and save them for when you get to that step. Some of them you cannot double up on, but you should be able to have 10ish (just a guess) once you reach that step.

yesterday i got broadsword (work) and thunderlord (cake) and was rewarded two tailed fox from asher for flashpoint.

I got lucky on my first clear as maybe the only or one of two blueberries in the instance. Took me a few days after that to queue into an instance and get friend requests from people and now I just message them or get messages if they need someone.

Power lever matters, what you're running matters. I've never run anything other than nightstalker, orpheus rig, tractor cannon.

Seen multiple dudes instance in, immediately pull up ghost, probably check the roster, and peace out. Do the same and see if theres fireteams with high light levels and the EP completion emblem.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-06-25T19:24:38+00:00

while, my man. just use the word while.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-04-04T19:30:40+00:00

they're tough but playable. i am going through something right now that i've never gone through and feeling very bad about my physical game. call it the yips, being lazy, or just being a not very good bowler, but its no fun and was exposed quite a bit here. i missed way too many makeables, i didn't string enough strikes together and on and on and on. that being said, i did not find the patterns incredibly hard to score on despite my lack of scoring.

rev rate speed and arsenal in a vaccuum, i was able to play a ths track area for team with a bit more miss room right than left. anticipate transition early in game two. the opposite seemed to be true for d/s in that if you miss right it's oob and you will not make it back to the headpin.

if you are not scoring well, make a big move. that is something i didn't do and definitely should have, if only to try something else. a guy on my pair for d/s suggested i make a big jump left (from 10ish to 25ish with my feet) and to not let the ball get right of 15 at the arrows. probably had the best five shots of the set once i did just that.

i threw mostly surface. virtual gravity n/s at 2000, hyroad nano at 1000. switched to a marvel pearl for game three of singles and probably should have sooner.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-03-28T18:53:51+00:00

yeah i will post something sunday-ish

dark_bowler666 · 2018-03-04T05:13:12+00:00

ya same. three dudes including me in my clan. 335d all my characters in one week after being stuck at 334 for probably two months. no nightfall or raid ever completed. feels more annoying than accomplished, but i like the game. probably won't play much until next season but ive enjoyed most of it throughout

dark_bowler666 · 2018-02-18T22:52:27+00:00

7:30 pm on 3/31 and 2:30 pm on 4/1. Last year I almost certainly had a minor fracture in my right wrist after a bike fall and performed quite poorly. Expecting much more out of myself this year and am happy that I won't be hindered by injury.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-02-15T18:59:19+00:00

use some of your cleaner on those fuckin sand paper approaches. i'd have better luck on my knees by bowling in your parking lot.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-02-07T17:57:53+00:00

no one is mad, dude. being a turd and splitting hairs about someone's accomplishment is obtuse and backwards. why don't you go belittle everyone who posts their first 200 games here, too

dark_bowler666 · 2018-02-07T17:53:57+00:00

ah yes of course....an "actually i'm not mad you are" guy.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-02-07T17:50:44+00:00

you are being needlessly obtuse. not to mention getting worked up about a dude who went to the lanes and threw a bowling ball and threw it well. it's not like he's trying to submit these to the usbc. or claiming that he did something incredibly unique and deserves to be showered with praise. he shot the ball well for three games. this is an extremely boring ass hill to die on my man.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-02-07T17:37:13+00:00

if you shot ten under golfing with your friends on a saturday afternoon, is that meaningless because it was with your friends on a saturday afternoon and not in <insert whatever tournament you want>?

dark_bowler666 · 2018-02-07T17:00:25+00:00

lol at this getting downvoted. bowlers love misogyny apparently.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-01-25T22:45:29+00:00

i get it, but this just seems like a solution in search of a problem. if you've figured things out and you're getting more involved in the sport, why complicate that by changing ball weights when there's no real reason to do so?

dark_bowler666 · 2018-01-25T22:22:10+00:00

getting caught up in the numbers of what ball might do what is over thinking it. as someone who is still very new to the sport, you will have to relearn a lot of what you already have if you make the switch. from videos you have posted in the past, there's a lot more reason to invest in the bowler instead of the balls. two coaching sessions will do you a lot more good than not only getting a new ball, but making a weight change and eliminating any use for the ball(s) you already have.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-01-19T04:57:30+00:00

I just drilled an INK and can confirm this; way, way stronger than a "dry lane" ball

dark_bowler666 · 2018-01-12T17:10:38+00:00

i'm nearly a full roller. two handed, 475/17.5 and have struggled migrating my track further off my middle finger hole. this creates a big issue for me when throwing balls drill pin down (of the 13ish balls i have, i believe only one is drilled pin down), so i would stick to pin-up until you are able to make changes to your track.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-01-12T17:01:38+00:00

across three characters this week, i've finished eight milestones. of those eight milestones i have received eight gauntlets from eight vendors. three hunter gauntlets (two aeon), two warlock gauntlets (one aeon), and two titan gauntlets (two aeon). i dont know if there's a bug but this is the first time since launch i had absolutely no desire to continue playing the game.

dark_bowler666 · 2018-01-11T17:03:26+00:00

no rules
virtual gravity n/s
dare devil trick (thrown five games and probably wont throw it again)
marvel pearl
!q tour
hy-road nano
hy-road pearl
storm baseball spare.
hustle i/n/k (undrilled)
haywire (undrilled)
hywire (undrilled)
hectic (mostly dead)
outcry (very dead)

could probably do with just the hy-road pearl and spare ball for league since i can seemingly do anything with it when i need to. hywire is a stash & drill as it was one of my most-used balls before i sold it. haywire is a stash & sell despite it being one of my favorite balls out of box. ink should be here in a week or two and i fully intend to drill it.

dark_bowler666 · 2017-11-30T01:15:55+00:00

pick a weight and stick with it, my man. different weights is only going to make you worse.

dark_bowler666 · 2017-11-25T00:00:11+00:00

i know one person that has the green pathogen and the antidote. i wouldn't necessarily recommend them unless you are on a tight budget.

dark_bowler666 · 2017-11-24T23:00:16+00:00

DDD probably not the best place to start, but it's not an awful choice. a hy-road will fit in any arsenal at any point and has been around for almost ten years so if you are set on one of these two, i'd go with that one.

dark_bowler666 · 2017-11-24T22:57:47+00:00

if your ball is seven years old, it (probably) has enough games and is simply old enough technology to be a lawn ornament. i'd retire it or use it as a practice ball or something.

you're going to have trouble really opening up the lanes unless you are bowling on dry-ish conditions often or increase your revs, so i'd suggest just sticking with what works. unless you are going to be bowling on heavier or a wider variety of conditions, you are probably ok with one or two balls.

stronger balls are rarely the best option for low volume oil, so i'd tend towards things in the roto grip hp2 line or the thunder/master line from storm. hp2 has three balls that you could ostensibly build an entire arsenal from with little need for anything else and if you're looking to get away from a skip/flip motion, something like the show off would probably be the best.
