    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Personally I buy ammo synth, mainly heavy ammo, from the gun vendor. Never can have too many of those, especially when using swords.

    Jonnnniiee!! I usually get on around 6 pm PST, sometimes just a bit later.

    Count me in Sarthis if you have space.....Caduceus888. I usually get home around 6 pm PST, dunno if that's an issue, I know when we used to kill Crota and such most of you guys were East Coasters and started earlier. I've been pugging Oryx the whole way and like you the mileage varies, it...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Yeah I agree. They should allow you to swear allegiance to The Queen or Variks with glimmer, just like they do with Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, etc. I'm in the same boat as you, it's gonna be a month or so before I can hit level 3 with either.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    That's supposed to be how it works, yes. So if you don't get an exotic drop, the next time you pop a coin your chance goes up, increasing every time until you get an exotic drop, and then the percentage chance resets.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I would agree with your observation. My warlock is my main, and I have him up to LL 298. I still haven't gotten the raid ghost shell to drop for him, and he still has 2 pieces of gear (helmet and gauntlets) below 290. Despite playing him the most, I haven't gotten any blue helms or gauntlets...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    a_skeleton_03 already answered your question right above ya. There is no need to run heroics unless you need legendary marks, which really in this expansion you don't, outside of a few items (the 280 ghost shell and Hung Jury scout rifle come to mind). Once you get going you will have more...

    Also with Warpriest, it's important that the person who gets the aura (the person who jumps on the last plate), kills adds SLOWLY. When you get the aura you get a 5 stack of the buff, each one for about 10 seconds. Every add you kill takes one off the stack and resets the timer to 10 seconds...

    Well that was one of the most exciting moments in Destiny for me last night. Teamed up with two randoms to try and do the quest for Black Spindle. Made a new friend, as one of the guys was chill and knew how to play well. The other guy was OK but seemed to have a short attention span. We...

    For those waiting for this on PC, I wouldn't hold your breath. I read somewhere that Bungie is only like around 500 employees and they don't have the resources to develop on another platform, they are already busy with the four they have (ps 3, ps 4, xbox 360, xbox one). They did, however, say...

    Run strikes continuously. When you load up on engrams, head back to the Tower and decode them one at a time. Anytime you get an upgrade immediately equip it before you decode the next engram. Repeat ad nauseam. Slowly but surely your light level will increase. It actually goes pretty...

    I skipped the last expansion, so my Queen faction is low. Can you explain why I need it, or is it too spoiler-y?

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    It's rep to faction and also rep to vanguard. Like mentioned above, you get 100% to Vanguard, and as an added bonus for pledging allegiance, you get 1/2 of that amount to your pledged faction. So there is no downside. Seems like you should always have a faction picked so you don't waste any...

    So Los Angeles sucks

    Well, the whole Rowland Heights area is now Chinatown 2.0, so tons of good Asian places out there like that shabu shabu place you found. Probably the best Chinese food is Sam Woo's, not that big a secret, tons of locations now, but quick decent meals at affordable prices. Cash only of...

    Got this really funny, weird, cool quest last night. I was during Patrol missing in the Cosmodrome, when I suddenly got a new quest....I didn't touch a beacon or anything. I forget the name of the quest, but it was something like "A cryptic puzzle", and when you hit the pad for more details...

    Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine

    I'm not a Jobs fanboi at all, the guy was a total prick by all accounts, but let's give credit where credit is due. Bisi isn't wrong, the iphone was revolutionary. All phones that came after it share the same technology introduced by the iphone, such as touch buttons and apps. Do you remember...

    I had the same question yesterday, props to Fourth for helping answer this for me. You can safely disenchant any of the exotics that you own, and buy them back later if you wish. In the tower, down by the three class trainers (down the staircase in the middle area) there are two blue kiosks...

    So Los Angeles sucks

    There are a TON of great restaurants in Los Angeles, mainly because of our cultural diversity. I would use Yelp (it's big on the west coast, dunno why not so much on the EC) if you need help choosing a restaurant based on your personal tastes. Tons of sushi restaurants, but most are owned by...

    Been reading about the Taken King hype machine and got sucked in. I pre-ordered it and played some this weekend, getting all my toons to lvl 34. If someone has time tonight, I would appreciate a sherpa to take me through the Prison of Elders on Hard difficulty (Bane of Skolas achievement)...

    Witcher 3

    Yeah it's a complete pain in the ass. I did the same thing, switching between the 3 sets based on my level. The only solace is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel....all the mastercrafted versions of all 3 sets are the same lvl limit, so once you reach the end you can choose which...

    Witcher 3

    Also, just to elaborate on Witcher armor a little more, there are 3 sets you can obtain.....Griffin (medium armor), Feline (light armor), and Ursine (heavy armor). Each set has different stats that suit different play styles, whether you like using signs more or maybe are more melee-oriented...

    Witcher 3

    I would advise that early on in the game you loot as much as you can, money is tight at the beginning, especially on harder difficulties, and you will need the gold for repair bills. Don't worry about recipes so much, but do try and buy any you find at inns because you will need the base...

    Witcher 3

    Question regarding the exp point bug.... I played quite a bit over the weekend, knowing the bug was around. This was on the PS4. Most of the smaller quests (contracts, treasure hunts, random ! quests) continued to give me exp, which I confirmed because you could see the "+exp gained"...

    Witcher 3

    I just wanted to echo this sentiment as others have as well. Currently I'm questing in Novigrad, dabbling a bit in the Skelli isles. There has been a lot of bitching about the graphics, but it seems like just a lot of nerds getting their panties all bunched up. Sure, the graphics aren't...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Yeah I'm in a similar situation. I bought Destiny and the two expansion packs at the time of release. I haven't even bothered to log in yet for this expansion. Truth be told I have been busy with Witcher 3, which I'm enjoying immensely, so if it wasn't for that I probably would log in and...

    Witcher 3

    Yeah some of those contract quests are tough. I'm level 11 atm in Velen, been pretty easy go of it so far, hardest thing so far was the Wild Hunt soldier in that elven crypt you go into with Keira....but holy shit that wraith for the Jenny O the Woods contract is like 10x tougher than anything...

    The ethics of stealing video games

    So is Witcher 3 not WORTH your money? You already mentioned you spend money on things you think are worth it. That's what's so completely illogical about your argument. You won't spend $60 for a game that will give you over 100 hours of enjoyment because it's single-player? That's...

    The ethics of stealing video games

    Your "I only pay for multi-player games" is just some strange excuse/ethos you've made for yourself to make yourself feel better about pirating games. At least be honest with yourself. Either you enjoy something and understand it's worth the money, or you don't. Bottom line. Have you...

    Bloodborne

    Questions for some of you more advanced players out there.... Currently I'm doing NG+, finishing up some achievements (I missed a few of the weapons the first time through, and I have to complete the Chalice achievements still). The weapons achievement should be a non-issue, the Chalice one...

    Bloodborne

    Chalice dungeons do drop a lot of echoes, especially at depth 4 and higher, but I think NG+ does drop more just because it's so much easier and you can plow through more low level mobs before you reach a boss. Just last night I was in Forbidden Woods on NG+, I went from the beginning to the...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Yeah I really enjoyed this game, I certainly put many, many hours into it. It's a shame because the game has/had so much potential. At least there isn't a monthly subscription fee otherwise I would have un-subbed months ago. As it stands I haven't even logged in the past few weeks.

    First time posting in this thread even though I've been playing this game for a bit.....I've played the Demon Souls and Dark Souls games before, so I knew what to expect going in, and I have to say this game does not disappoint. This game in one word is......awesome. So fun, especially when...

    That was meCaduceus888. I ended up getting the shader, emblem, shards, and the shotgun. Shotgun will be nice for PvP, but once again, useless in PvE like all shotguns.

    I think so Kreugan. I thought the Xur speeder add-on was mainly a flavor type thing, making blue or purple flames shoot out of the back of your speeder. It might make it match the speed of the Atheon speeder but I doubt it would make it faster. The speed boost on the Atheon speeder is...

    I think you have to go to bungie.net and log in through there. I had tried to do it through the Destiny mobile phone app but it wouldn't let me set clans, I had to go to the actual website on my PC. After logging in go to the far left side at the icons, and I think pull down clan and search...

    It might be. They were talking about Tishar's Lash being customizable...the one that's a random reward. Apparently if you don't like the perks you can re-roll it for a cost. I'm not sure about other weapons, but if it applies to the scout rifle that would be cool. Also...there was a rank 4...

    Oh....you can also buy an exp booster for 1 Mote of Light. It lasts 12 hours, and apparently will increase in effectiveness as the event goes on. Didn't get a chance to test it out yet, will be interesting to see how much of a boost it actually is. In any case, it's something actually...

    I'll be on later tonight for Iron Banner Madness. Looks like it's only Control (same as last time?), so 6v6. I looked at the rewards quickly last night, looks like you can get a lvl 30 armor item (legs?) at rank 3, then the other one (gloves?) at rank 4.... I might have that backwards. The...
