    I'm so glad there's now no weapon that's a good option when an angry Minotaur charges you.

    Thanks Bungie!

    Alright, cutscene skip makes anything questionable entirely worthwhile.

    EDIT: And now I completely regret not getting the Iconoclastic Berzerknaners emblems from year 1. They will forever stare me in the face when I look at my emblem collection.

    :(

    The wife says it's likely we've hit our data cap for the month. So I may not be playing any of this until October.

    Fuckin' yay.

    We're reading Rifts. You should too. You know you want to. Now With Ninjas!

    So

    As expected

    Class items becoming actually pertinent for gameplay was a bad change

    The best item to use right now is a 160 defense blue item

    Not, you know, any of the legendary quality awesome ones you own, which may vary randomly anywhere between 135 defense and 140

    So we're all stuck with shitty looking blue items for what should be exclusively vanity items

    Ditto for Ghosts.

    But where are you getting a 160def one?

    EDIT: The whole thing with class items and ghost shells was one step forward one step back. Yay no longer need them for factions, boo now it doesn't even matter because you still have to use the 'best' and not what you like.

    If they're going to do that they need to make every one upgradable to the 'cap' if you want to sacrifice higher def ones to your favorites.

    EDIT EDIT: oh, a 180 one from a quest reward for level 30 looks like.

    I don't know, actually

    I was just looking at the highest light people in the tower, and 169 seemed to be the best, with the only different item being a blue 160 defense class item

    Not sure where it came from, though.

    Nothing I'm reading in this thread makes me want to play the game right now.

    It's actually killing my hype for TTK.

    The TTK exotics are fucking awesome

    Nothing else about the missteps in the game could temper that, they seriously look incredible and I'm so excited to use them

    But there's a lot of issues and tweak they can make going forward with the game.

    Edit: which isn't really any different than it has ever been.

    I really don't know how anyone thought tying stats to class items would ever be a good idea.

    Some of the design decisions they make are fucking mind boggling.

    Never underestimate the power of minor quibbling! :lol:

    Seriously though, there are some head scratchers, for sure; but I'm hoping most, if not all, works itself out with the actual TTK launch.

    Some things, though, like the class items/ghost shells having stats, I really hope they recant or at least provide some means to actually customize instead of having to use the 'best'.

    Tons and tons of really awesome stuff though. Don't be swayed!

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news....they said a few days ago that if you wanted to keep your Frontier Shell Ghost (it isnt good defense or anything) you needed to make sure you still had one in your inventory and not delete it because for some reason they cant get it added to the kiosk any time in the foreseeable future.

    This is a good question; I actually don't have any idea. The vendor kiosk is no longer there, and she's not there either. The Ghost Shell is the only thing she can give you I don't know how to get atm. Maybe I'm missing something?

    Still not getting XP on my gear. I have no idea whats up.

    I'm able to sit at 170 exactly, and if I equip the 180 defense class item I can almost get to 171.

    What really sucks is the frontier ghost shell is only 3 defense, so I had to buy a generic blue one to hit 170

    Hah! I haven't done the hunter thing yet, but it's hilarious that Warlocks get a 180def class item and Titans get a 160! :rotate:

    I suspect the 180 wasn't intentional. That's level 36 quality.

    Polygon has a video comparison of Dinklebot and Nolantron

    Here's your new buddy.

    RIP Dinklebot.

    Hello Nolandroid.

    Ok, I think this seals it. Bungie needs to fire their voice director. Both Dinklage and North can and have given far better performances in past roles, so it's not a question of talent. North in particular has worked with plenty of bad scripts before, too, so it's not the script.

    This stupid insistence on telling the actors to "be robotic" or whatever they're telling them when they step into the recording booth is bad direction. Everything both actors is saying is understated to the point of being bland and uninteresting, and leads to so many lines sounding like they have nothing to do with the scene at all. Let them emote! Let them give the Ghost some more personality! I don't care if it is a robot, it doesn't need to deliver it's lines like one!

    Hrm. I think I preferred class items being purely cosmetic; it was a way to make a visual decision about your character for purely aesthetic reasons. Now, I'll just use whatever has the highest numbers like every other character.

    So, that's a bummer. A minor bummer, but a bummer.

    So, I was just about ready to cash in the bounties to hit that 10k one after tooling around on Mars for a bit when I saw this in the message area:

    So I just unlocked the Lord of Wolves with this patch but was it always a murder death machine? Cause it is absolutely a murder death machine and the complaints about range seem odd since it seems just about normal shotgun range for me.
