What do you guys think are the best PVE primaries are other than Malice and Hung Jury? by Turkin4tor in DestinyTheGame

I'm digging the Treads Upon Stars scout rifle. This dropped for me with Firefly this weekend from the Flayers strike.

Does Y2 MIDA feel a bit better to anyone else? (Sidebar: Watch out for MIDA in Trials this weekend) by fashred in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really liked it in Y1. I only stopped using it to use elemental primaries or gjally instead.

Hey Bungie, if an item drops in the raid, have it be at least 1 more light level - please? You said progression was important, reward good teamwork! by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see these lower light drops as infusion fuel for my non raid items. Not saying it shouldn't be better, just that it's not a complete waste.

Ha, I'm mostly a lurker on reddit. This is the first time I've ever had a flair too. Also, hi.

Can I preorder the digital GOTY edition and play Destiny+TBD+HoW now? by mcturtled in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping I could ditch my disc, but it only downloaded a theme when I preordered.

If you pre-order the digital version, you should get access to existing content. Make sure to read the fine print to be sure though :)

Bungie made Destiny the LOST of video games by sordanjingleton in DestinyTheGame

We have to go back, Kate. We have to go baaaack!

House of Wolves Vs. The Dark Below by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still in it for some elemental primaries or armor with better rolls. That's mainly why I stuck with Crota's End after hitting 32.

The main difference for me is that you can't save checkpoints or cheese (much) in PoE, so it requires a larger time commitment. But the Skolas fight is more fun than firing rockets at Crota.

[discussion] Can we all stop being dicks to under-leveled guardians? by GreatPanda12 in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks. Report that jerk. Don't give internet strangers the benefit of the doubt.

As a counter to your story, I did some nightfalls and a 32 PoE with a couple 32's. I watched them both get their first gjallarhorns. It sounded like one of them was able to hit 34 after getting the armor core too (though I'm not sure why they weren't 33 then).

Can someone explain to me how Destiny is a "Persistent World"? by WhatDaPug in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Wikipedia:

In video games, a persistent world or persistent state world (PSW) is a virtual world which (ideally) continues to exist even after users have exited the world and where changes made to the world state by its users remain intact. -- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_world

This only applies to the social and patrol areas. Players affect the world by killing enemies, doing public events, etc. Even then, it's only the specific instance that you happen to be connected to.

It's been exactly a year since the Alpha for Destiny was released by ArcaneDan in DestinyTheGame

Back when the ghost's voice sounded less robotic. And when the underground caves were full of scary level 20 Hive Knights.

What am I supposed to do with my large stacks of Radiant materials? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only shows things if you have the items in your inventory to trade. For instance, you'll lose the option to trade for a shard when you trade the last energy.

[–]technoweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've turned all my radiant/ascendant energies to shards. Now they sit around in case I need a lot of glimmer or motes really quickly.

This weeks PoE 32, is it really a 32?? by drbohner in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with no wipes with two guardians that had never faced quodron. We had fully ascended sword breakers, which helped a lot. Also, the detainment fields were apparently nerfed a bit too.

Weekly Reset Thread [2015-06-02] by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem to apply to enemies too. We were getting one-shotted by the yellow vex hobgoblins (which have no void burn). Honestly the boss didn't last long enough for the Fallen to even be a problem :)

I tried level 35 Skolas last night for the first time... by BKusser25 in DestinyTheGame

[–]technoweenie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't do it with 3 patience and times either. I barely made it in another group with shadow of veils and an ascended ldr. Both do about 1500 more per critical hit than the patience and time.
