This Week in /r/DestinyTheGame History [2016/4/22 - 2016/4/28] Posted: 22 Apr 2017 02:05 AM PDT
True back then, true today. Life does move pretty fast, just as posts move pretty fast on /r/DestinyTheGame. Once a week, "This Week in /r/DestinyTheGame History" brings you some of the gems from this time last year. It's a walk down memory lane to give some perspective of where we were and how things have (or haven't) changed in the last trip around the Sun. Maybe you made the post, maybe you saw the post, maybe you missed the post. Relive it or discover it for the first time. Either way, we hope you enjoy this blast from the past.

Posted: 22 Apr 2017 09:15 AM PDT That is all. My apologies if this was already mentioned. Edit: Two other great suggestions came from guardians. 1. Loadouts 2. Map voting. [link] [comments] |
The trials meta is infuriating and 0% fun Posted: 22 Apr 2017 01:37 AM PDT Me and my friends recently got into wanting to go flawless in trials since the strikes and raids were getting boring, we'd thought it would be fun. Well for the past 3 weeks I've come so close to just giving up on PvP all together. The update to make PvP more primary heavy has lead to near 0 people using primaries and if they do it's just an eyasluna or palindrome. I can't comprehend how many times I've died to a wormwood, icebreaker, fusion grenades, magnet grenades, LDR, longbow, and thunder strike. The meta is just rush grenade/sidearm spam or camp in the back with an icebreaker all day. I get people want to win but it brings zero enjoyment to play like this, it just feels cheap. Please Bungie, all I want for Destiny 2 PvP is something balanced to where the meta isn't 2 primaries, one sniper, a sidearm, and sticky grenades. Edit: for clarification I'm not mad at other players for wanting to win and use the meta I understand that, I'm just saying that the meta is just so boring. I'd like a meta that encompasses more options is all. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 22 Apr 2017 06:25 AM PDT Last night I ran my first Destiny raid ever. We did VoG, matched up with The 100. I've never been in a fire team that wasn't Matchmade in-game. I've played for a long time now, but always alone. After awhile I realized I had some shortcomings in my play style and understanding of how everything worked, so I was afraid to get in a group for that reason. Y'all were great last night. Made me feel super comfortable, really patient. I've played other MMOs and the Raids were always awful since everyone was so mean to each other. The Destiny community seems so much more helpful and friendly. Now I know what I can work on, and I'm stoked to really dig into that pesky part of the game I was always too intimidated to run. Thanks a million. [link] [comments] |
Bungie Please, Maintain "Grimoire" Parity Between Platforms in D2. Posted: 22 Apr 2017 07:01 AM PDT If D2 has grimoire score (or some similar system), fine let Sony have their exclusives, but how about not associating a score to them? This is my biggest frustration with the D1 exclusives, the fact I've had to go through some out-of-map cheese to get a ghost, and that though I have max XB1 grimoire, I don't have a true max because of exclusives that are indefinitely unavailable, only to maybe be released when the game is irrelevant. (And they also double up as a source of lore which is being missed.)
So yeah, not sure if you agree regardless of if your PS4, XB1, or PC, but I think exclusives should not have a "score" tied to them, allowing parity of this across all platforms.
EDIT: I understand that there are players who find this utterly pointless, that's cool. You play and enjoy the game for different reasons. Hopefully those same people can appreciate that it isn't pointless to fellow collector/ completionist guardians. Definitely not something to stress about, no sweat, and no begging going on. Just little ol' me sharing a frustration and offering a suggestion. :) [link] [comments] |
Age of Triumph – CE, VoG, KF, WotM - Loot Tables Posted: 22 Apr 2017 11:32 AM PDT This is collection of all of RiseOfBacon's Loot Tables posts: You can use the "save" button if you want a handy bookmark! [link] [comments] |
smallest guardian in destiny ? Posted: 22 Apr 2017 05:49 AM PDT what happend here? is it just because of the vex armor? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PnviI8EZi4 [link] [comments] |
390 Aksis Killed With No Weapons On 6 Hunters (3 Phases | Challenge Mode Completed) Posted: 22 Apr 2017 06:45 AM PDT Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJjBdb-ChGI NOTE: Cannons were ONLY used to kill servitors, as the fight mechanics require this. No other enemies were harmed in any way other than with supers, grenades, and melees, including Aksis. Also, Golden Gun is not a gun... it is a magical ability. Setup was 5 Nighthawk Golden Guns and 1 Quiver Tether. 3 Nighthawks insta-nuked the 3 captains each phase. We saved 3 Golden Guns after each damage phase to do so. Each damage phase (besides the third for reasons listed above), consisted of 5 Golden Guns, 6 grenades, and 10 throwing knives... all buffed by a Tether. For final stand, we edged his health for the third teleport and then took him to final stand with grenades and throwing knives. Then we used all of the Golden Guns and the Tether (which we got from the plate slam) for final stand. This did satisfy Challenge Mode, as we slammed plates each teleport to collect supers. Hope you enjoy! We did this just for fun :) Gladd Fireteam: The Names Soul, TheGreatNike, Samiam1192, It is Spartan, rowan, Gladd [link] [comments] |
Posted: 22 Apr 2017 06:36 AM PDT Make it good again at least in PvE. More ammo and better control (dps is ok). It's not okay that after one minute in PvE you're already looking for bullets YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE [link] [comments] |
DESTINY RAP | 3 Years of Destiny, 1 Song Posted: 22 Apr 2017 07:56 AM PDT This is one last Hip Hop Hooray featuring some of the greatest times I've had in Destiny 1 these past few years in an action packed music video. It's written from the perspective of a Day 1 player, but I hope players from all D1 eras can relate and enjoy it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDocyBPscFc Music Produced by Delta-S Special Guest Guardian appearances by: PS4: dodiwm, Atlas, oCensored- forgottonian, ArnesHelda, Blobertson, CorbyDaDestroya, evllallan83, ifightforgood, neilocrates, corvettejohn99, omgsharquisha, Drax_Carter, keithwhiteway, Meercatt, MaxieMae, & awtung.

Little Light - Lego Ghost Lamp Posted: 22 Apr 2017 11:28 AM PDT (MEDIA) Little Light https://imgur.com/gallery/AWIo6 My husband knows how much I love Ghost, so he built me a Ghost lamp out of Lego inspired by the Frontier ghost shell pattern by Nick Brick. [link] [comments] |
Are we sharing old sniper AP round clips? Here is my 3 in 1 shot with last round (dirty) Posted: 22 Apr 2017 04:41 AM PDT Got the headshot and two bonus kills from somewhere! [link] [comments] |
Literary Destiny: Primary Weapons! Posted: 21 Apr 2017 04:43 PM PDT Hey all, 30,000 words later, I've finished the rough draft of my thesis, so I get to reward myself with this! It is an attempt to catch all the literary references in Destiny's flavor texts–I did armor last week, you can find that post here! Obviously, since I'm not a writer in Destiny, nor do I know any of the writers, this will not 100% complete–but I read a lot, so maybe it'll be close! Without more ado about nothing, here's the primary weapons! They're organized by class, and then roughly in descending order of rarity. Auto RiflesFabian Strategy: Wait for enemy to make a mistake. Die. Stand by for Ghost Resurrection. Repeat as necessary. Interestingly, despite its name being the an actual military strategy, the use of Fabian Strategy really doesn't seem in line with that strategy. The actual strategy is one of attrition, guerrilla warfare, and light skirmishes, as opposed to the frontline fighting the gun espouses. The strategy itself was named after Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus Cunctator (can't make this stuff up), a Roman dictator who pioneered it against Hannibal, a legendary Carthaginian commander. ((GENESIS CHAIN~)): ~if(input(SIVA)) // echo Shirazi // output(death) // ask(not in vain)~ I think this is a reference to James 4:3:
New Revised Standard Version. 'Ask not in vain', as it were. I'm not 100% about this one simply because it's not a great fit, but 'ask not in vain' is a pretty iconic phrase. Monte Carlo: There will always be paths to tread and methods to try. Roll with it. Uhh, so this is a reference to the Monte Carlo method, which, according to Wikipedia, is, "a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results." If someone with relevant expertise could explain this better, I'll edit it in, but for now, I'll take a whack at it: as a part of risk analysis, Monte Carlo methods allow you to simulate a large number of possible outcomes, so you can better make decisions under uncertainty. Abyss Defiant: We will not go quietly. A reference to Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gentle into that good night", all of which is fabulous, but I will quote just a short stanza here: As Guardians, we're pretty conditioned against the 'dying of the light', so this one definitely feels like a good fit. Arminius-D: Unleash a torrent on your enemies with the Häkke Arminius-D. The name is of Arminus (german, Hermann), a legendary German commander who lived in both the BCE and CE, and gave the Romans their greatest defeat at the Battle of Teutonberg, in 9CE. Arguably one of the most important battles in history, it likely stopped Roman advancement past the Rhine permanently–which is likely the "torrent" referenced in the flavor text. Zarinaea-D: You provide the will, and the Häkke Zarinaea-D provides the way. A Sacae woman, who also fought in battles. Wife of the Parthian (ayyyyy, see pulse rifles, below) King Marmares. Her story is related in Ctesias' history of the Persian empire, Persica. Paleocontact JPK-43: An auto rifle, modified by Dead Orbit's superb technicians and specialists. Paleocontact is the idea that aliens rendezvoused with early humans and influenced civilization. It is generally considered a pseudo-historic theory at best, and falls under "Ancient astronauts". No idea about the "JPK-43" part, unfortunately. Questing Beast: You'll never catch it. But that's not the point. A reference to Arthurian legend, the Questing Beast is a vicious monster, and a, "... subject of quests undertaken by famous knights such as King Pellinore, Sir Palamedes, and Sir Percival".
More contemporary incarnations can be found in The Magicians series by Lev Grossman, and possibly South Park? Unsurprisingly, it also makes an appearance in the Merlin TV series. Zero-Day Dilemma: There's no defense against it. A reference to zero-day vulnerabilities, which are computer vulnerabilities found and exploited before the developers can come up with a solution or workaround–thus the 'zero-day' moniker. For The People: I stand against the state of nature. A reference to Thomas Hobbes' "natural condition of mankind", from Leviathan. A 'state of nature' was the theoretical idea of man's existence before society. A really interesting exploration of that idea is Ḥayy ibn Yaqẓān, a philosophical work by Ibn Tufail–Arabic, أبو بكر محمد بن عبد الملك بن محمد بن طفيل القيسي الأندلسي– which tells the story of a young man raised entirely in nature by animals, who only comes into contact with society later on in his life. Izudabar-D: Millenia will pass, and still your name will ring out. "Izdubar" was the initial translation of the name Gilgamesh, who of course is the protagonist of the Epic of Gilgamesh a fabulous (and surprisingly short!) ancient Mesopotamian epic poem, which is considered the first example of the genre. Bronzed Miyamoto-D: An aggressive Häkke auto rifle, earned through glory in the Crucible. A reference to the later-era (1600s) Japanese swordsman and strategist, Miyamoto Musashi–Japanese, 宮本 武蔵–and likely not the co-founder of Nintendo! In his later years, he wrote The Book of Five Rings, a treatise on strategy, tactics and philosophy. Galahad-E: This extraordinary multirole rifle boasts a smartmatter frame, the key to remarkable capabilities. More Arthurian legend! Sir Galahad is the illegitimate son of Lancelot and Elaine of Corbenic, ironically renowned for his purity and gallantry. He appeared quite late in the Medieval Arthurian legends, but became much more common in the later narratives, like Le Morte d'Arthur. Ultimately, he is considered to be the only night of Arthur's table worthy to see the Holy Grail and ascend to Heaven. Shingen-E: The exemplary Shingen-E is built to pop skulls. One of my old favorites (still sad I sharded it, though :( alas for small vaults), it likely references another 16th century feudal Japanese lord, Takeda Shingen–Japanese, 武田 信玄. A commander of "exceptional military prestige" during the Sengoku period, his alleged death by sniper was depicted by Kurosawa in the movie Kagemusha. Longespée-A: When all around you is chaos, the dependable Longespée-A won't fail you. A reference to William Longespée (literally, 'long sword' ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), 3rd Earl of Salisbury. Renowned for being friggin' huge and having a friggin' huge sword. Go figure. SUROS TYR-14: Stable. Dependable. Rapid-fire. SUROS. Reminding me of how much I hate Suros' flavor text style, I'm not 100% sure about this one, because most of the 'cheap' Suros weapons have three-letter acronyms at the end of their name, so this might be coincidence. But, Týr is an ancient Germanic/Norse god, either the son of Odin, by the Prose Edda, or Hymar, by the Poetic Edda. Associated with war and might. Had his hand bit off by Fenrir, and is therefore known also known as 'The Leavings of the Wolf' which is an honorific, rather than a dig at him. Cydonia-AR3: The City can't rely on a steady supply of programmable matter, so the multirole AR3 uses it only sparingly. A region of Mars, but also a surname of Athena. Pulse RiflesHerja-D: Devastate your foes with the deadly precision of the Häkke Herja-D. More from the Prose Edda! This is a Valkyrie (demigoddesses of war, they would ride into battles and pick the worthy dead to come with them to Valhalla) specifically named in one of the two Nafnaþulur lists. Apple of Discord: "For the Fairest." Huge shout-out to /u/G3vanB, I'll put their analysis here:
Interesting to note the Goddess of Strife's name ... Hawksaw: A northwesterly wind is blowing. Perhaps one of the more well-known references to our dear Bard, this is from Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2, Line 351: We're all mad, mad I tell you! Parthian Shot: Who's got the last laugh now? A military tactic turned literary term, a Parthian shot is an insult or retort delivered as the speaker was leaving. It eventually evolved into the much more well-known 'parting shot' in a delightful little bit of linguistic movement. Smite of Merain (Adept): Barrel etching: "He parted them like a sea, which closed upon him again." It's not exact, but any references to any parting of any seas are of course biblical in nature–Exodus, 14:21-15:19. Just taking the most similar quote I can find:
14:26, NRSV. As usual, that particular act of God is followed with a great deal of praise. The Messenger: From deep within the shadows it came—a messenger borne on black wings. The personification of death often includes a pair of black wings. Crows and Ravens (and many other members of the Corvus family), often thought of as battlefield scavengers, are black. This feels like it should be a specific reference, but honestly it's more a trope than anything. Hopscotch Pilgrim: It's a long road. Enjoy it. In a seriously impressive bit of detective work, /u/JohnnyFlack found that this is actually referencing:
Here's the Wikipedia article! Moriaen-D: You are a child of many peoples, a protector of all cultures. More Arthurian literature. This is a 13th century romance, called Moriaen, whose story of the titular hero follows him as he first attempts to find his father, and meets with famous knights of the round table, like Lancelot and Gawain. Once his father Aglovale is found, they return to his mother and take back her rightful lands. He is Moorish after his mother, but obviously is also a part of the Arthurian tradition. Thus the 'child of many cultures'. Lump Distribution: This nimble rifle's on-board tactical systems keep a scrupulous tally of combat stats. Besides looking totally neat, the gun refers to a Lump-Sum Distribution, which is, "... the distribution or payment within a single tax year of a plan participant's entire balance from all of the employer's qualified plans of one kind (for example, pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus plans)." Thanks for that, IRS. Painted Apollo MSc: A highly accurate Nadir firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible. Our first Nadir gun! Apollo is the Greek god of, among other things, music, poetry, art, oracles, archery, plague, medicine, sun, light and knowledge. Wicked important, very well known. Has a sister, Artemis. Painted Neptune MSc: A high velocity Nadir firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible. I'm sensing a naming trend, though perhaps not a consistent! Neptune is the Roman god of the sea and freshwater, and is the counterpart to the Greek Poseidon. Hotspur-A: Piezopolymer paneling makes the Häkke Hotspur-A a balanced war machine. Hey! This is interesting. The green Häkke weapons are named after English noblemen! This one is after Henry 'Hotspur' Percy. Led a bunch of rebellions against Henry IV and was eventually killed at the Battle of Shrewsbury by an arrow to the face. Get rekt kiddo. Scout RiflesFate of All Fools: *"The wise man knows his fate. The fool merely finds it." I orignally thought this was a reference to Matthew, but turns out it's not–check out the story below! A really excellent explanation of this from /u/Voroxpete, which makes much more sense:
Cocytus SR4: The Omolon Cocytus SR4 will drown your enemy in a river of pain. Thanks to /u/scapulargolem for this:
Incidentally, in some versions of the tale, the And some additional context from /u/Owasippe_Ninja! Thanks!
Additional small bit from another stealthy person, /u/thyrandomninja:
Tuonela SR4: Hell will freeze over before the Omolon Tuonela SR4 will fail you. Ahahah funny joke, Bungo. In Finnish mythology, Tuonela is the equivalent of Hades. In Finnish Christianity, it is the word used for 'Hell' in translations of the Bible. The Hero Formula: It's just so satisfying! Okay, this is referencing one of two things: either Heron's formula, alternately spelled Hero's formula; or the Hero's journey, which, frankly, makes slightly more sense? Lethe Noblesse: Do not forget. Never forgive. Many thanks to /u/Johnny_Dirtbird for this one:
High Road Soldier: The survival of civilization depends on our willingness to choose conscience over expedience. Per /u/S0rrowS0ng and /u/JohnnyFlack, this is likely a reference to the common idiom (I mean, it bascially defines the concept in the flavor text) 'take the high road'. It could also be a winking reference to the chorus 'The Bonnie Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond': Zero Point LOTP: This much fun should be outlawed. /u/thyrandomninja has a great and funny explanation:
The Scholar: You can't pull an all-nighter when the sun never sets. Not really 'literature', but too relevant not to include ;) Also, per /u/goldenboot76:
Thanks for that! Lampad SR4: Let your enemies know: death will be their only companion. The Lampads, or Lampedes, were spirits of the underworld in greek mythology. They accompanied Hecate and generally went around doing spooky stuff. Orphne SR4: If death is the Darkness's way, let our Light defy their desire. Orphne was a specific nymph of the Greek underworld. Also an alternate translation of Caliga, the goddess of Darkness. Painted Abbadon SR5: A single-fire Omolon firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible. Sharing its name with the exotic machine gun, Abbadon is either a "place of destruction" or an Angel of Death. Either way, not pleasant. Just a quick clarification from /u/westen81, thanks!
Painted Sorg SR5: A powerful Omolon firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible. In a large number of Germanic and Germanic-derived languages, 'sorg' means 'sorrow' or 'grieving'. Primed Díyú SR5: A long range Omolon firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible. Following a clear pattern here, 'Diyu' is the Chinese conception of Hell. Silvered Kín SR5: A highly accurate Omolon firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible. A Turkic word, it means, simply, 'pain'. Bronzed Yamaduta SR5: An accurized Omolon Scout Rifle, earned through glory in the Crucible. The Yamatuda are messengers of Death in the Hindu tradition. Thanatos SR5: Where Death follows, new life will grow. Where new life grows... Death will follow. Thanatos is the Greek personification of Death. He is the twin brother of Hypnos, the God of Sleep. Referenced in the Illiad: The Iliad, 16.453-4. Richard Lattimore, translator. Xibalba SR5: Tiled with picocircuitry, the Xibalba SR5 is fiendishly accurate and hungry to grow. How many different conceptions of Hell can we find? This particular one refers to the Mayan realm of the dead. Naraka SR5: There will always be new hells to conquer. hahah, no kidding about those 'new hells'. This specific hell is a particularly diverse amalgamate, finding its place in Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Buddhism. Modified to 'Neraka' in Indonesian and Malaysian, it also describes the Islamic concept of hell. Garmr SR1: Death is hungry. Garmr is a dog (or wolf) of the Underworld in Norse mythology. He is, "the blood-stained guardian of Hel's gate". Shinigami SR1: Death comes for the City's foes. Let's not keep it waiting. Shinigami–Japanese, 死神–are spirits or gods of death. They invite humans to death, and rule over the underworld. Hand CannonsThe Last Word: "Yours. Not mine." —Renegade Hunter Shin Malphur to Dredgen Yor Many thanks to /u/andreisse for this one!
Here's a link to a .pdf of the article. Gaheris-D: Balanced and dependable, the Häkke Gaheris-D is a true warrior's weapon. More Arthurian legends! Gaheris was the nephew of Arthur, and a knight of the round table. He is described as "... valiant, agile, handsome, reticent in speech, prone to excess when angered, and possessing a right arm longer than the left". Judith-D: Headshots are strongly encouraged with the Häkke Judith-D. So, there are a lot of things this could be, but most likely it is referencing Judith of Bethulia, an Israelite who beheaded the Assyrian general Holofernes. Headshots strongly encouraged, indeed! Kumakatok HC4: When the Omolon Kumakatok HC4 comes knocking, even the Darkness locks its doors. The kumakatok are three Philippine spirits, who walk from door to door, knocking and bringing bad omens. One is supposed to resemble a young woman, the other two old men–however, they obscure their faces with hoods. Seriously creepy. The Devil You Know: Let's make a deal ... A reference to the phrase, "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't", this is the only weapon I know of that actually completes the phrase in game. The Devil You Don't was widely acknowledged to be simply a worse version of TDYK, not only being an impact class lower, but also with worse base range. That's commitment to the joke right there. Uffern HC4: Omolon's Uffern HC4 sentences the City's enemies to burn. In what should be a surprise to nobody at this point, Uffern is the Celtic version of Hell. Unfortunately I can't source it beyond a three-word mention in the Wikipedia article on Hell. A very helpful clarification by /u/Rapstah–much appreciated!
Byronic Hero: Brood, baby, brood. A type of anti-hero created and embodied by Lord Byron. Byronic Heroes are: "a man proud, moody, cynical, with defiance on his brow, and misery in his heart, a scorner of his kind, implacable in revenge, yet capable of deep and strong affection". Think Hamlet, with a touch of Han Solo. Also possibly another more modern reference, per /u/getedm8–thanks!
Vortimer-D: Where you come from is not important. It's for what you do that you will be remembered. Vortimer, or Saint Vortimer, was another English legend. He can be found in Geoffry of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britainniae–my copy of which I've misplaced, apologies–where he is a described as a Britonic king with a strong distaste for Saxons. Worked out well, he died though. Rience-D: You will not suffer these invader kings to live. Hey, wait, are you telling me Häkke named another one of their guns after an English legend?! Yes, yes I am: Rience was an English/Irish/Scottish/British king named in Arthurian legend. He is variously described as the king of North Wales, Ireland, and 'many Isles'. He had the habit of edging his robe with the beards of Kings he had conquered–by the time Arthur came along, he had eleven. Arthur's, of course, was to be the twelfth invader king that he would crush. Didn't work out so well. LOCK_ARETE: Her excellence lies in swiftness. A confusing one, because arete-Greek, ἀρετή–is literally 'excellence', especially in regards to efficacy, but also in terms of bravery. Arete is also the wife of Alcinous of Scheria, described thus in the Odyssey: The Odyssey, 7.70-8. Robert Fitzgerald, translator. It wasn't originally my plan for these to go in descending order of references, but hey, that worked out nicely! As I said in the beginning, I'm sure I've missed some, so don't hesitate to point them out. Thanks so much for reading, Guardians, I really appreciate it! [link] [comments] |

To all the raid friends I've made in the last few weeks, I have this request. Posted: 22 Apr 2017 06:48 AM PDT Brief intro - Before AoT dropped, most of my usual clan mates had been absent from Destiny for a good few months. AoT unfortunately didn't being them back. As someone who loves to raid, this was really tough since the few experiences I've had with random raid teams have been average to downright terrible experiences. But at my core, I love to raid - so I begrudgingly bit the bullet, joined a 100.io clan and jumped into the deep end with random raid teams. For the love of loot, I have to say the fun and respectful teams and players I've encountered over the last few weeks has totally flipped my opinion of raiding with strangers. It's been downright awesome. Huge shout to the clan EPIC for being such an amazing clan of chill and patient players. And yes, some I've raided with several times since AoT dropped - not just one offs. And I've received invites directly, like "Hey, need 1 more for (insert raid boss here)". Stuff like that just warms this raider's heart with melting point. So, to all the raid friends I've added over Xbox the last three weeks, please know that I don't add friends lightly. I added you because I genuinely appreciate you, enjoyed your personality and, and had a blast playing with you. Destiny 2 is coming. And when it does, I have this important request, my friends.

I think I own one of the rarest guns in the game. Posted: 21 Apr 2017 06:09 PM PDT I am not sure if anyone actually still owns Merciless as it was blue quality and only available for a week, I know it's nothing special but it's nice to know I'm probably one of very few who still own it. The weapon: http://imgur.com/a/horkW [link] [comments] |
Solo 390 Light Crota's End, Without HUD. Posted: 22 Apr 2017 09:53 AM PDT This challenge was quite a bit harder then I expected it to be. I also play without sound so I have no audio queues of anything that is going on (this is my own problem, and has nothing to do with the challenge). I also had the Azure lens equipped just for fun, but if you or any other guardian you know, have played with the Azure lens on for more than 10 hours, then when does my eyesight go back to normal? All i can see is shades of blue. Here's the actual run : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29gQ2212wZc [link] [comments] |
One hope of mine for Destiny 2 is that Damage and Defense will mean Damage and Defense. Posted: 21 Apr 2017 11:33 PM PDT I mean, why not have Light Level as a separate number and have Damage and Defense actually mean something? Like my Fatebringer does 400 damage, so does my Righteous VII, and they do not deal nearly the same damage as each other. I realise impact is a thing, but it'd be nice to have an actual number rather than a little bar that just means "High, middle, low" so I know the actual numbers without having to run tests.

Side by Side Comparison of Unto Dust 00/Spindle VS Dark Drinker...for the last time :) Posted: 22 Apr 2017 02:07 AM PDT Hey guardians this is the last breakdown of this topic from JellyCrewGaming! Over the past week we sparked the controversy of Cluster Rockets being the superior choice than the Dark Drinker. Honestly we were only providing another option for those who never got the Dark Drinker or those who wanna spice up the encounter all together. Part 2 was suppose to be the final breakdown comparing the Warpath vs Dark Drinker under the influence of WoL and Tether but people wanted to see more. I got request to show the total experience of using cluster/spindle vs dark drinker with all three aksis stun phases. So I did just that! Here is a literal side by side DPS comparison of the two load outs and what it's like during the whole encounter. Final DPS Comparison Unto Dust 00 VS Dark Drinker HERE Results: Unto Dust 00/Black Spindle = 1,053,951 Damage Dark Drinker/Ex Machina = 999,749 Conclusion: Honestly, the two weapons are pretty much even in terms of damage so damage alone isn't the reason why one can be considered better than the other. In terms of versatility, the Dark Drinker is by far superior with the ability to one shot captains, do crazy dps to Aksis and look like a god doing all of this. Thanks for reading and watching! tl;dr - Last video comparing clusters to dark drinker doing DPS to Aksis for all three stun/teleports. Overall results, Unto Dust/Black Spindle beats Dark Drinker by 50k player damage but in overall versatility the Dark Drinker is S++ tier. Thanks guys! [link] [comments] |
Shortgaze *SLH10*, Ambush *SLH25*, Eagleeye *SLR20*... Anyone know what it means? Posted: 22 Apr 2017 08:47 AM PDT I don't think this has been asked yet and I haven't found anything about it (or maybe I searched wrong?) and it seems like something that means something, and I got no single clue what EDIT: talking about the endings (SLH10, SLS20, SLR20, SLH25 etc) and if they are acronyms or something [link] [comments] |
Posted: 21 Apr 2017 02:43 PM PDT used to paint alot in Photoshop in my early 20s. And for some reason i stopped. Why i don't know. Just stopped. Guess work and responsibilities that took over. But today i just painted because it's like therapy for me. Just shut off my brain and paint. And Destiny is the game i love the most. I love my Titan. Got the most playhours on my Titan. Haven't removed my Twillight Garrison since i first decoded the chest engram. So it was only natural that i decided to paint my Titan. Haven't painted in years so it may have it's imperfections, but i'm happy i did. Makes me motivated to start drawing again! But will probably try to kick Gary's ass in Destiny 2 since he will destroy my Twillight Garrison....And all my other loot. Fckin Gary...
