    Heart of Praxic Fire kills me inside

    Its so good

    But it doesn't play with shaders

    I have to balance direct gameplay benefit to personal customization, and it's a real problem

    Yeah, the black or white dead orbit hood clashes with thethe green and brown with a bit of gray broadsword shader.

    I swear, it is almost comical how the Vault of Glass refuses to drop armor. I ran two Hard Modes and a Normal, and all I got was two pairs of Warlock gloves (which I already had). After 35+ VoG runs, I only have 6 out of 12 pieces of armor.

    Meanwhile, I'm on my 8th or 9th Found Verdict, my fourth Fatebringer, and I even got a second Praedyth's Timepiece.

    Oh well, I guess I could run one more Hard Mode and try my luck. If anyone is running one on Xbox, let me know.

    I've run the vault like 30 times, never got a Praedyth's Timepiece. It's that RND.

    are you guys seeing this horseshit? Sometimes the netcode is so f***ked. Fair enough the first golden gun shot may have missed (which i dispute) my second shot goes through him, i actually fired a 3rd shot, you hear the sound, but nothing.

    Yeah, the balancing of shotguns is weird. Seems the higher the impact, the higher the range. Should really be inversely proportional to my mind.

    I didn't realise you were from Europe @Frei. There are actually a few of us from Europe on the PS4 side. I'll add you to our group PM.

    Add me too - drdpike. If you see me on, I'll happily run the night falls and weeklies. Even if I've already run the that week, I'll do them for the bounties to level up weapons and armour. I only really play those now, waiting for the expansion, so I have a few things that need levelling.

    I'm happy Bungie is seemingly ditching that "everyone should be rewarded equally, no matter their efforts" mentality in PvP, I know some will say "but the best geared players will just get better geared and the gap will widen further!"

    What I see is a bunch of assholes hiding in the far corner of Rusted Lands being afk, because why the fuck not? (I've seen a guy get a Gjallarhorn from doing this) There is no penalty (except showing you are an asshole) and you still get rewarded.

    Destiny seems to have engendered this sort of player who wants gear, but apparently doesn't want to play the game. Happens in PvP and PvE. It's like some sick skinner box loop for those people or something.

    The hilarious part is there isn't even enough variation in the weapons that the skinner box should even be a thing. It's not like fishing for Diablo legendaries. There's almost no incentive for not playing the game except the hope of RNGesus looking down on you fondly and pissing off a whole bunch of people.

    This isn't really specific to Destiny, Bungie just hasn't taken the steps to help curb it like other games have. They are starting to now, though, at least.

    What's the other perk it comes with? The problem I run into with that fire one on other weapons is that it tends to fuck up precision damage on headshot.

    It should do the same damage, it's just split up between the regular damage and the explosive.

    You can still trigger the reload perk with Explosive Rounds

    The third option is the "switch weapons faster and move quicker while aiming" perk

    It also increases the amount of reserve ammo you can hold, which is a huge difference. It was painful transitioning from Fatebringer to Word of Crota because of the difference in reserve ammo.

    It's literally 1 bullet on Fatebringer (13 instead of 12) and to me it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference.

    Ah I didn't consider that, what's the difference in reserve ammo?

    Speaking of Field Scout, I got The Culling FWC machine gun with it, which gives it a magazine of 150

    Off-hand I don't know exactly, but some quick googling says 20+ more rounds in reserve.

    Anecdotally, while holding center plate at bridge in CE, I frequently run low on primary ammo with Word of Crota, but I never ran out when I was using Fatebringer. I've noticed it happening less on my Warlock who has Hand Cannon ammo on her raid chest.
