    Having always played a warlock, my only complaint about the faffjump for jumping puzzles is that it is slooooow on descent. The VoG one you need to jump before the block phases in and then still barely have time to hit and bounce back into the air before it despawns.

    You can turn it off once you're over the target. And turn it back on. And off. And...

    Question

    Is it like verified fact that the reason all the crucible gear is blue and neon green is because bungie is based out of seattle and therefor seahawks fans?

    I mean that's just what I've assumed

    Yes, it's Seattle Seahawks based. A lot of the weapons and armour with their names and descriptions make subtle references to Seahawks as well.

    For example:
    Pandion Halieatus is the species name for the Osprey, also known as a Sea Hawk. Pandion being the name of one of the crucible titan armour sets and Halieatus being one of the warlock crucible armour sets.

    Our Hard Raid tonight was pretty casual/jokey, but to be fair, we didn't even attempt Oryx. Perhaps that would have killed our mellow (which was a good reason not to do it). Instead of giving me different loot though, I just got the HM equivalents of what I already had (chest piece, cape, sniper). I would love the Machine Gun one of these times, game...
    Yeah I don't think it's anyone else but me. I'm normally super jokey and casual. And it might not have even been noticeable to anyone else but I personally was super stressed out during the entire hm raid. Hoping that settles as I do it more.

    The raid machine gun I got is ridiculous in pvp. Like it murders anyone and everyone. Range isn't too crazy but it's still just epic. Does extended mag increase your total ammo?

    That's rough. I noticed I can clear strikes faster than 10 min sometimes and it can really throw off your 3oc rhythm.

    The way I think about Warlock's jump is that when it's active, it reduces the effect of gravity on you

    That's why if you activate it as soon as you jump and have the most upward momentum, you'll get great height, likewise if you jump forward and activate it at the apex of your jump, you'll just slow your decent but not your forward momentum, allowing you to glide

    I guess it probably takes getting used to, but it's definitely my favorite jump

    Warlock isnt my favorite jump because Hunter triple jump is so good if we ignore that one jumping puzzle.

    You'll find that pretty much everyone running a Heavy Machine Gun is using Qulim's Terminus these days, much like BTRD-45 was the previous go-to. And yeah, Extended Mag brings it up to a 42 round clip.

    I like the Warlock jump, I just wished Warlocks had the option of picking blink on every class (they did invent it) and that Focused Burst could jump a little higher and a little faster (especially for pushing forward fast)

    The real weakness to Warlock jumping is how little control you have in the air when gliding. And that's only occasionally annoying, as after a while you just get used to predicting where you are placing yourself.

    You have massive air control if you take the "Focused Control" perk, which is what I always do. You can pull off some pretty insane maneuvers with it, and despite what some people might say, I think it's superior to Focused Burst for doing the Tomb Ship puzzle. The only thing Focused Burst has going for it over Control is that it lets you do a version of Titan Skating if you want a lot of quick forward momentum.

    And it is in dire need off a buff (a little sarcastic, but I wouldnt mind a minor speed buff), never stop moving fast.

    I really got the hang of Blinking in the end of year 1 and I like it, but I dont really feel like playing Voidwalker when Stormcaller is right there.

    Astrocyte Verse should have given a Blink ability to all Warlocks no matter the subclass, instead of just making it a little better for Voidwalkers. :?

    did anyone notice if they changed how loot drops in heroic strikes? because I just seem to be getting more shit from them in general. Which would make doing them over normal worthwhile.

    Reading these brand new HM Oryx strats are great. Two new great ones have surfaced.
    One is having both your floaters be Titans with the ability to bubble, and using the instant heal shield they place in the middle + Touch of Malice to handle Ogres easily while platform holders take care of the Knights. You handle platforms by people assigned to 1st/2nd/3rd jump and your Titans be floaters instead of people being held to individual platforms.

    The even better one though? Don't kill any of the Ogres and instead get them to 25% or so health. Knights don't spawn until you kill an Ogre. Then you go to the Daughter platform opposite of Oryx, stagger him, mass DPS the Ogres which are underneath you, and then activate the bombs before the Knights which spawn at the platform areas can even get near. No need to deal with the Knights at all.

    I saw this HM Oryx strat on reddit yesterday and want to try it out - it seems very similar to normal strats.
    https://youtu.be/2W0rmuzjZ14

    Traditional "floater" that hangs out on the daughter platforms focus on Knights > Ogres.
    4th platform person becomes second floater for Ogres.

    It's nice to see it's doable sub-310. I guess I'm ready to go at 310 this week. Hopefully enough people will be at 310+ next week for a kill!

    So completing "True Meaning of War" for the week got me a 305 Competitive Shell. Pretty nice.

    That said, I'm curious as to why the True Meaning of War started at 3/5 complete. I suppose it must have been keeping track of Iron Banner participation even though I didn't actually have the bounty?

    I think someone else mentioned that theirs had autocompleted at once, so it seems that something was up this week.

    It isn't a very good primary, but I've really been enjoying using Touch of Malice in just regular content recently. The sound it makes and the general look of the weapon are just super appealing.

    Excited to try it out during the actual raid tonight.

    I think it would be better for general use if the recoil weren't fucking absurd.

    Have a hard time using ToM outside of raid bosses, just too many exotics you can use that don't have the negatives.
