    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Man, the 35 POE is exactly what I was afraid it was going to be. Took 2+ hours to get to Skolas, and we tried him for about another 2 hours, then had to call it a night and now I'll have to start back at square one next time. Ugh! (and for me that's a lot. I usually can squeeze in 2 hours a...

    Any of you guys going to be on in the next little bit? Looking to give the 35 poe a whirl

    Mostly great changes in the patch. I did love sparrow racing though. What are the details on the red bull promo? Bonus xp now sounds nice. Too bad i don't drink the stuff.

    Congrats man. It will make your life so much easier, especially in PoE.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Thanks Spronk. I loathe PVP, so I won't bother ascending with that in mind. I do want to try ToO eventually, but am in no hurry to see how impossible it will be for me to get to Mercury. From what I've heard about PoE 35, I really don't want to do it. It sounds like HM Crota x10, which I...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Which weapon did you ascend first? I've heard a lot of people say they did Fatebringer or VoC first. I am very tempted to do so, but honestly, in PoE I use Fang of Ir Yut often and am considering ascending that first. Am I crazy?

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Felt like burning a weapon and armor core and taking a chance with Verik on his Judgement's chance. Was hoping for some good armor piece he's never sold before. Ended up getting Wolves Leash (scout rifle). I don't get why Verik's weapons are kinetic, and unless I'm reading it wrong, I can't...

    Word of advice: Don' be an idiot like me and finish the 34 PoE with a full bounty list. I probably just wasted getting the exotic bounty, but I guess I'll never know.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Yeah I heard the same thing. Guaranteed week 1, about 50/50 every weekly reset after that. I dunno how I feel about that. With how rare the treasure keys are, or grindy to get them, they should have a very high chance in that PoE chest that requires the key, especially considering you have a...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Am I missing something here, or is there really no reason to worry about getting HoW end game weapons? With the ability to ascend all of our VoG and CE weapons, and the reroll ability of all HoW legendary weapons, do we need anything else really? For example, Verik is selling an AR for a...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Did my first 34 poe. Man that boss was tough (did it with 3 33 warlocks). Don't think I'll have time to try the 35 version before reset. Hopefully some of you guys will be on for this coming week's poe cycle.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    ok, so the first key use for week is queen weapon + exotic, and after that you still get weapons? Sounds good! Thanks edit: just did nightfall on my 3rd character and got my first etheric light. Gotta figure out which armor slot to upgrade first

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    In PoE, once I've used a treasure key and gotten the big chest, is there any reason to use a key on the chest again before reset if I do poe again on a different dofficulty? Also, does it matter which difficulty I use the treasure key on? (ie if I use the key on the 28 chest, are the rewards...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Sounds like the best weapons are locked behind pvp this expansion. If you go a perfect 9-0 in ToO, you get access to a social space on mercury that has a chest with exotics, exotic emblem, motes, and most importantly, the elemental legendary HoW weapons. I'm terrible at pvp and have...

    Talking about wolf hunting? Try Skywatch. Always lots of people there. The event spawns every 8 minutes, and you can get the chest at least 2 or 3 times in any location, sometimes 4 if you are fast.

    DIM is awesome for managing gear. I recommend it highly as well. 7pm can not get here fast enough. I want to play me some HoW!

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Just spent an hour farming chests in Skywatch. Got 2 more keys and 2 legendary engrams (heavy and chest). I recommend the Skywatch wolf event if you want quick farming. The event is every 8 minutes and the chest locs are mostly all near zonelines so you can loot them at least 2 or 3 times each.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Finished all 6 queen bounties on all 3 characters. Have done a total of 24 wolf events with probably 40-45 total chest openings. Tons of blue engrams, 0 legendary engrams, 1 treasure key. So ready for Tuesday!

    I believe you don't see etheric light as a mat for exotic upgrades because exotic upgrades only cost an exotic shard and some weapon parts. 365 gjallarhorns and icebreakers day 1!

    Well this is fun. Home from work and ready to get a taste of the HoW changes but the same idiots who killed PSN for 4 days at Christmas are doing it again.

    I dismantled my shadow price half way through TDB. Some stuff in the patch is funky. Some crucible stuff that shouldn't drop until tuesday is, and some things like speaker exchanges, no more shards/energies from packages, and no more accomodations are missing but should have gone live today.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I'm hoping at least a few months. Definitely longer than TDB since the end-game event at least has rotating modifiers and arenas so even if you get every armor drop and weapon you can at least still do something "fresh". On a side note, the big 1.2 patch is supposed to be deployed this...

    Witcher 3

    Reviews sound fantastic. The exploration and 'named' monster hunting is mentioned as a huge plus...my favorite thing about RPGs. My only question though is what about the no monster level scaling vs. loot scaling? We debated it here a bit, but I can't find a single review that even mentions...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    From what it sounds like, you can upgrade every legendary and exotic in the game to 365 damage or 34 armor, so I'd assume that includes IB. The only thing limited to HoW gear only is the rerolling (reforging) weapon perks.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    But you can revive teammates right? So it doesn't really matter, unless your revive happens when the rest of your team is already dead.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I think the reforge is only for HoW purple gear/weapons. No exotics, no drops from previous xpac, or vanilla.

    Insurgent

    I read the trilogy too, and if the 2nd movie was bad, the 3rd is probably going to be atrocious (the 3rd book certainly was). Completely different writing style for book 3, Four became a whiny bitch teenager (he was so bad that I often had to flip back to the chapter title to see which...

    The change to Archeon Priest waves was unintentional, apparently. Upgrade old raid gear? I guess that's what I get fop dismantling the VoG gear I had accumulated before CE came out.

    Witcher 3

    I agree Ritley. Rebalancing gear right before gold is just begging to be broken and in need of an early patch. I also don't really like the idea of gear scaling down. If I kill some rare badass monster I want his badass loot, not a lesser version of it. Not sure how this game works, but if...

    Classic games you loved and why. (Nostalgia thread)

    Obligatory FF3 nod. Remember walking into WalMart when I was around 14 years old and doing my SNES aisle walk-by ritual. My little brother walked over to me with a FF3 box. We went crazy. We had no idea it was out to buy. $75 some odd dollars later, we had the game that still brings back...

    I'm holding out that this arena mode is going to be fun and people are fretting for nothing. After all, they have made some great changes to the game since release. After how ce turned out, i don't mind if they delay the next raid to make it better. After all, ce is essentially a 3 man...

    Gjallarhorn is a two edged sword. It drives you insane until you get it, and once you have it you realize it isn't necessary for current content and it just takes up your exotic weapon slot.
