    I'm going to be going on a "mini-vacation" starting tomorrow. If anyone wants to join/help me do the Raids (which I've never done), I'd appreciate anyone who wants to help. I'll be free Friday - Monday for the most part.

    It's been a good weekend for me. Did the POE challenge and got 2 nice 330 drops. Then found an awesome group of ass kickers at the Court of Oryx and now I have 3 330+ artifacts!

    oh, and a 333 Truth.

    yes, but it's going to suck. You really need at least one more person for all the adds and to damage the boss. Especially this week. That Cabal guy takes a hell of a lot of killing.

    yeah Im only at 322 when I max out, so i got a while before I think I could even pull it off. Unless I had a primary that caused some insane damage....wonder if the hawkmoon could pull it off.

    my try it for fun this weekend.

    I am on the road to 335 Iron Banner drops were great. I got one 334 and two 335 Ironwreath-D one 335 Ashraven's Flight one 335 Iron Companion Sleeves two Iron Companion Vest for my Hunter.
    My titan i got one 335 Iron Companion Plate and one 335 Iron Companion Gauntlets. My Warlock i got a 333 Iron Companion Vestments 334 Iron Camelot Gloves 334 Iron Companion Gloves and a 335 Iron Companion Gloves. I also used some Three Of Coins in IB i got a 334 Dragon's Breath 334 The Jade Rabbit 335 Zhalo Supercell 334 Crest of Alpha Lupi for my Hunter and a 335 The Taikonaut. I only hit rank 5 on my Warlock got a 335 Deidris's Retort.

    Crucible is nothing but BS all of the players i played with in IB all have the same conplaints. Weapon doing no damage i shot several players with my shotgun and it did no damage. Melee and abilities not working and getting shot through walls. Destiny is terrible on the PS3.

    Well, my mini-vacation is over and I played what in retrospect was a frightening amount of Destiny.

    I'll start with the good: I got together with my fellow friend Titan and we banged out several more missions and whatnot together. We linked up with another friend and did the new Nightfall and new POE and had a fun time (though the new Nightfall has some insanely OP mortar Knights). Got some gear upgrades.

    The middle: I now have 5 Spektar Plates for my Titan. 3 of them are exactly the same, the other two are near the same, but none of them have the two attributes I want (Intelligence and Discipline). I also have at this point a full set of Spektar for my Titan, but again, not the right specs to actually imbue and use and I'm not giving up my exotic helm. I really would've liked a reroll "Twist Fate" on these because frankly, I think the Spektar set looks pretty boss.

    And the bad. I tried to to the Kings Fall Raid.

    I found a party via the app, using the newbies welcome tag and whatnot, and we had problems of every kind. We had a huge amount of turnover, going through at least 20 party members in total. The players who "knew" what they were doing did a horrific job explaining everything so we would get party wiped quite often because they wouldn't go into any sort of detail or explain what was coming instead of what was happening or happened. I and another player could not get past the stupid jumping ship room and the party jumped us ahead. I really loathe forced platforming in games. Just a few lowlights from our many party members:

    We had players who didn't speak english at all in the party, who were the least terrible members all said and done.

    We had a player who literally shouted profanity at us for "tricking" him into playing the normal Raid rather then Heroic, stating that he couldn't possibly get anything out of it so we wasted his time because he doesn't help anyone unless he can also get something out of it.

    We had a player with a mic so loud he was near impossible to understand for quite a while until enough of us complained (and we got wiped) that we couldn't understand what he was saying. He turned down the volume or whatever, but then got into an argument with his mother about the difference between credit cards and debit cards, which we could all plainly hear. A 10 minute argument with the kid not understanding that credit cards are not free money to try the card out.

    We had a player who asked me why I (and the others) weren't using Black Spindle, as if the exotic Sniper Gun was something that was impossible not to have for some reason. He wanted us to quit and play heroic instead, stating that everyone was above the minimum except the one player and we could easily carry him. When we told him we wanted to get through this once first, he got annoyed at us but still played for a while, but took several opportunities to complain.

    We had someone join, tell us that he'll help until we get wiped, then he'll want to play Trials of Osirus and quit. So he did after Golgoroth wiped us.

    We had a player demand I switch to a Defender Titan. When I told him that wasn't going to happen, I'm not a Defender at all (I went from Striker to Sunbreaker, while my friend who I started the Titan with went Defender), he told me that I clearly didn't understand the Titan and was playing the game wrong.

    Seven hours later we gave up at Golgoroth. I did friend the two "new" players who were both mature adults and were trying to get it done.

    It was the least fun I've ever had and I really wonder why it was so stupid difficult and why so many joined us to be such tools. So much of it seemed artificially difficult and how people figured out what to do in the first place boggles my mind.

    and that's why I don't raid unless I have a full party of people I know. It's not worth the hassle.


    and i'm right there with you on the jumping part. Fuck that with something rusty and chocolate.

    So basically the story for this is the exact setup as the flood from Halo CE. Original Bungo, very original.

    Not that I care though, COOOOONTEEEEEENT!

    Also looks like the PS3 and 360 aren't mentioned anywhere, hope that they're finally being dropped.

    Twice. You had the corpse-army aspect with the hive, and the badguys-turned-badder aspect with the Taken. This is on top of the Fallen being basically Covenant, the cabal being brutes and Jackals, and the Vex beign Forerunner machines.

    Destiny has to be the most creatively bankrupt game ever.

    Well the trailer got leaked. Enemies will be found like the flood, but they don't look like the flood. Looks more like they've been taken over by a corrupt warmind, they look quite mechanical. In fact yeah, there's a warmind bunker in the gameplay. That's pretty awesome. I take back what I said about the unoriginal aspects of the new enemy.

    Sorry I can't link it right now.

    Edit: Here we go
