    Nirwen's has like zero horizontal recoil as far as I can tell, even without counterbalance. I don't know how much it is doing for me

    I hit rank 5 on all three characters and I got one pulse, one sniper, and a bunch of armor.

    I was hoping for more sniper drops.

    If you want more drops to actually maybe get a good roll, let me encourage you because I've had I think 3 or 4 drops and they all flat out suck. Like, they'll get one decent perk and the rest garbo. So I really just got my favorite specials infused up which I'm fine with.

    Also (half) called my shot on my rank 5 loot for my titan. Wanted a ghost and a chest, and I got a ghost and a chest! But then I realized you always get a ghost and it was going to be 320, but the chest was 335! So now titan just needs an upgraded ghost, mark, and artifact and he'll be done. Hunter pretty much needs 1 point in each piece of armor except boots. Hopefully I can at least get some arms to drop in the games I have left this IB. Warlock....we don't talk about the warlock.

    Found the above image on triplewreck's twitter; while that questline reward could be another exclusive exotic (and not just that ship), that looks like a very minimal amount of exclusive content, though it is apparently still a ~1 year exclusivity period.

    They should have another year of exclusive access to Exodus Blue as well.

    I like it as well, but Bungie has been unable to keep it out of 6v6 playlists.

    I'm really hoping for ROI that they can make a balance pass at some of the current maps so that they can open up more for the control list.

    It'd be nice to see some work done to tune up Cathedral, Asylum, Shrine, Shores and get them into the IB playlists.

    Exodus blue could probably use a bit of work as well.

    E - Shores IS in the list, but it needs a balance pass.

    I would like to see them put more effort into designing maps that are specific to gametypes, rather than designing maps that they believe can work for all gametypes and then realize "oh, I guess not" and remove it from the queue.

    Rift would be so much better with unique Rift-oriented maps that diminish the ease with which teams can spawn-camp.

    It'll probably not allow you to equip it though, like if you still had a blue Sparrow horn in your inventory

    Dusk Cathedral was clearly an SRL map.

    That would explain the distance they expected players to travel from spawn to anywhere relevant...

    I feel for you guys. Exclusives are dumb.

    I hope that one day we'll have cross-platform play and a unified Destiny, a unified playerbase and a unified Pax Arcadia.

    Got a nirwens drop with feeding frenzy, outlaw, oiled frame and the sight that decreases reload time - it reloads decently fast on a precision kill.

    Now you gotta punch something to death on a Defender Titan with the war machine perk and then get a precision kill. THEN reload

    Goddammit. My Xbone took a pretty bad drop and now the disk tray doesn't work and it can't shut off properly, so unless I get a brand new Xbone that means no more Destiny.

    I REALLY hope they don't pull this exclusivity crap for Destiny 2. It will be better for EVERYBODY if they don't because I've NEVER heard "oh man, this exclusive gun/map/strike, is the BEST ONE!" Usually, it's "man, they rushed this one" or "the general one is better". Probably the one exception was Hawkmoon... and it might have been TOO strong on the PS ecosystem.

    I also like Dust Palace. Its annoying that it doesn't drop exotics though

    Plan on it being the same 1 year deal for the life of the entire Destiny series.

    Then be pleasantly surprised if it does change.

    I don't think it'll change, tbh.

    Exclusives don't usually bother me but the year duration is pretty steep. If they reduced it to 3-6 months of exclusivity I doubt it would sting as much.

    Some enjoyable Iron Bannering with PA and the Arteam this evening.

    Dawn_of_Destiny.jpg

    Noticed a guy with this emblem I hadnt seen before (called Dawn of Destiny), apparently you get it for buying 15 bucks of Destiny pins.

    I still have all the Collectors Edition stuff and its still usable as of right now though? Maybe they'll make it unusable after the weekly reset or something like that.

    When do checkpoints get cleared?

    Cause I kind of just want to finish off oryx before then just to get my last triumph, I don't personally need the challenge mode.

    Though I guess I should just wait, I've got a flu or something starting and I feel like I'd be a liability in a raid group.

    I totally need to kill Oryx for the first time ever one one day. And do the challenge mode stuff.

    When is it no longer possible to complete the triumphs? (due to the fragments)

    The time-limited ones that come to mind are:

    The agonarch rune must be charged over the course of a week to get its fragment.

    The Nightfall fragment can only be obtained on Dreadnaught nightfalls.

    It takes three weeks to do each of the challenge modes for the fragments.

    It takes three weeks to do each of the Tier 3 Court of Oryx fragments.

    I did the Argo rune already, I just have to do all 3 CoO fragments, challenges and a dreadnaught nightfall. Do the CoO and challenge modes follow a pattern or is it random?

    Cool. Man, my Titan is on such a losing spree for her IB appearance.

    Which was tolerable and competitive up until the game forced a full match in the form of a 20125- 7175 rout. What was the point of keeping the match going? We obviously weren't going to beat those fireteams, lol.

    I feel like there was a fault somewhere in the decision making process here.
