    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Despite the boat loads of money they made, they haven't actually done shit with it. I mean, where the hell is the new map? The vaulting update? I know these things take time, but holy shit, the game has just stagnated for months now. I haven't played in almost 2 months.

    Yeah, I've been using MM until I find a Uriels. It's especially awesome on my Titan with the chest exotic, but I use one on my hunter too.

    I'd guess both. I use auto rifle for PVE a lot (and Nameless Midnight for kinetic). They melt for mid to close range in PVP though. As long as you can track your enemy well, just hold fire and spray.

    I'm at about 294 and haven't found a Uriel's either.

    Who the fuck are you all running the raid with? I need to get in on this action. Have a hard enough time finding anyone to do the Nightfall with (thanks Janx, again!).

    The base power calculation is what I've found is the most useful feature of it. Before I just figured it was a quick way to transfer gear, but the reality is that using it to figure out how to level your power is by far the biggest plus. Also, regarding Rob's post, I've noticed quite a few...

    First four PE's a success. Jam packed with people. But I am noticing I'm getting a little hitch every 10-15 seconds in them.

    Yeah, that'd massively awesome. Does anyone want to setup a raid group for sometime this weekend? At most I think I've seen 4 of us active in Discord at once, so I feel like we need a little coordination to get a full raid going.

    I'd rather group up with FoH people for strikes, and definitely nightfalls. And after watching a raid guide on Youtube as suggested here, I can't even imagine how fucking awful that'd be without voice chat. It looks like there's a massive amount of communication that's required. Like, the race...

    This is actually why I haven't joined the FoH Clan. I'm paranoid that I'll miss this week's rewards. Once I collect them on all my characters I'll probably leave the one I'm in and join. I didn't actually know this was a thing, just something I suspected could be. Kind of sad that my suspicions...

    If I'm going to group up with you again, I'd much rather knock out strikes and nightfalls. Or maybe some PVP, too. Can't remember if any of us did any PVP at all last week. Especially if you're already done on 3 characters, I'd feel bad having you run through that shit again. Honestly, Discord...

    Black Friday 2017

    Damn, and here I thought ours was old. I think we bought it in 2008, but it ended up getting a weird yellow spot (almost like a burn in, but it was just a basketball sized yellow blob in the middle of the screen). Sony had a warranty that lasts forever I guess, and so they gave us a replacement...

    Next week would be 3 weeks in though, so I don't see it being that far from your month on console. I finished up the campaign on character #2 and it was such a relief. I really don't want to do the campaign a 3rd time. I especially hate that fucking tank one.

    Black Friday 2017

    I thought it was at least 5 years ago where they said Black Friday was basically dead because the deals are essentially year round now. People still get excited because the stores tell them it's a sale, but you can find that shit on Slickdeals in March if you wanted.

    Yeah, I have the Xur stuff from last week for Hunter and Warlock ready to go. I'm enjoying myself so far, but I know it's going to be shitty by the time next week's reset rolls around and I'm basically done with the game until December. I can't imagine I'll need another week after that to hit...

    What's the best method for doing the 2nd and 3rd characters? Hit 20, equip your 1st character's highest weapons, and then use tokens to get full 265 legendary armors? And I assume after that, just do the normal milestones and exotic questlines? Which would basically mean the "boost" you get...

    Does that mean the reset isn't until Thursday then? Or is it just a random patch mid-week? They also took servers down around 12:30pm PDT today. Not sure what for.

    What's the likelihood of us being able to complete the raid this week for PC? Not sure what the difficulty level is. Or really, anything about it to be honest.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Just curious, but how long did it take you to get through the campaign each time? I was estimating something like 5-6 hours, but I think I'm at about 4 right now (been playing in short spurts) and only level 9. I was trying to "speed run" them as much as possible, but I ran into a hiccup where...

    Damn, dude. Did you do 3 characters? Janx and I both apparently made it to 283 yesterday. I'm working on leveling up my 2nd, but it's taking longer than anticipated to get through the campaign (was hoping to knock out at least a few milestones before reset). I haven't noticed very many people...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Weird, I find scout rifles are probably my favorite weapon to use. I had an energy one for a long time that melted, but around 265 I started using Nameless Midnight only. Pulse rifles just seem shit to me in general. I guess if you aim below the head to start, the last few shots would headshot...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    This is what I was getting at with my post yesterday. Once you hit 265, the only way to increase your level is exotics or the big milestones. Also, is there a list of what all the weapons I should be keeping are? I'm pretty much sure I got rid of an Antiope-D yesterday, and apparently it's good?

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Dunno, I noticed the same thing. I keep getting D.A.R.C.I.'s and Actium War Rigs, which was extra annoying since they're both Xur items. Have had 3 of each drop. I think I've had 5 other exotics besides those, so that seems like pretty bad odds.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    How are you farming exotics? Just running PE's? Anyways, as an aside, it came up yesterday in Discord between myself, GuardianX and Janx, but the decision to make it so that a fireteam has to travel together to every planet is absolutely baffling. Anytime an engram drops that needs decrypting...

    Hit 282, so I guess I'm basically done. I still have the PVP engram to do, as well as Rat King and Sturm, but those two can wait. All the guides I read for 265 were shit though. The only way I was able to get an upgrade was through one of the milestones or plain luck (getting legendary mods...

    Finding the grind to 265 longer than I expected. Seems like people were doing it pretty fast, but it's taken me a ton of grinding PE's to get to the mid-250's. Feel like maybe I skipped something, but I don't know what. Maybe just bad luck with engrams.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I haven't noticed zoning helping any, but maybe not many people are actually showing up the PE's right now? The crappy part is unless there's a fast travel location nearby, it's incredibly hard to do multiple times. So the only real option is to bring your own firesquad and pray other people...

It's a shame they bungled the content...

    Yes. You can say it's the best single back exercise you can do. Sure, I'll buy that. But is it really that much more beneficial than doing say, pullups, rows, and just about anything for hamstrings on leg day?

    You can still slip a disc with perfect form. And it only takes one error in form to fuck you up for life. Do you have 100% form on every lift you do, every single time? It's fine if you want to do deadlifts and think the risk is worthwhile. I just decided for myself that it's not. Outside of...
