Managed to get the HM challenge done, which supplied me with the artifact obvs, a 320 rocket and MG, and a 310 sniper. Very nice.
Then I went into trials with my untested defender titan. Blue helm and a modest 307 light. Ended up hooking up with a team that were just farming for shaders on their already flawless card. Every single game was against folks with 9+ wins. Had some serious nail biters, but I made flawless without using my mercy boon. Played a few games past that, but no scarab. Guys I was with got their shaders, so that was pretty cool.
Defender is a lot of fun. Shutting down a super with a suppression grenade is about as satisfying as it gets. Bubbles are situationally nice and supplying your mates with orbs at tight times is pretty great.
Some of my Chaperone highlights below. That last segment is exactly why I decided to roll a titan. Felt good.
Love your chaperone skills but no love at all for any assholes who teabag.
Edit: Ugh guess I'm full of vim and vinegar this morning. Stayed up too late last night in Crucible and Ess Are Ell.
I get that. In his defense though, it was a retaliation teabag.
I know I can often get worked up over Internet Bushido, but retaliation teabag=teabag. I just think it's low and uncreative, and using it in any context just perpetuates the whole thing. One of the biggest reasons I love to game with PA forumers is I don't have to deal with anything remotely close to that kind of crap.
I hear ya man. And I think we're for the most part on the same page. All I was saying is my teammate was being an asshole to another asshole since he isn't here to say so himself. I'm not saying it excuses it. These were strangers I'd never played with before. Aside from the retaliation teabag, these guys didn't even use foul language and were cool and calm for the duration of our sessions. Miles ahead of most of the people I've ended up with from destinylfg. My playtime is limited and inconsistent at best, so I often don't have the luxury of waiting for mostly well mannered folks to play with. If the opportunity to game with PArs arises, I typically jump on it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way most of the time.
That wasn't a teabag. He just randomly crouched a few times. You teabag a player by getting onto their corpse. I don't understand how/why so many fail to grasp the fundamental concept of teabagging. Your balls are touching the ground if you're not on the corpse.
If you're going to teabag someone, do it right.
Get on their corpse, preferably at their head. Then teabag. It's not that hard.
Eh I disagree. You're talking semantics. Maybe "teabag classic." But when I get sniped, and the outline of the sniper spends the next ten seconds kneeling up and down, is that just "creative repetitive crouching"? I think 99 out of 100 gamers would call that teabagging and so would I.
Plus, in the video above, the head of the corpse is in the wall, so tough to pull off a classic.
On this note, I would also recommend this guide from reddit. Saved me a BUNCH of time last time. Followed his guidance and got all three to five fairly easily, even though I was a little unsure if it would work. After verifying it, I am probably going to be doing it this way for the foreseeable future.
Even though it's over for the moment I figured based on the discussion we were having last night some people would appreciate being able to see exactly what it is one of those people that get a 3:50ish time do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U481j4ULY_o&feature=youtu.be
Awww fuck. He used my exact line...
wish I'd tried using an overdrive sparrow once I'd figured out the tracks.

That actually seems fairly reasonable. I did that sort of on the last go round, just felt like I played a shit ton. I also have I think 3 completed weekly bounties that I didn't turn in from last time between the different characters, so there is some reduced stress on that front as well.

Remember to never cash in your weekly Iron Banner bounties early, those things give a literal shit ton of rep late in the week.
Also, wear the IB class item, shader and emblem while you do.
I still have the weekly iron banner bounties on my warlock from last time (Got rank 5 without, due to alt buff) they are mostly completed, so I could just wait for sunday/monday and cash that in for almost immediate rank 5, especially if I'm playing my Titan during the week.
It was the grabbing the bounties on my alts daily that I never considered before when reading that guide. I was a little concerned about repeating bounties and missing out on them, but it wasn't a problem by the end of the week. I'm pretty sure I still have a couple weekly bounties from last Iron Babar on my alts since I didn't have to turn them in to hit rank 5.
I think my main this week is going to be my Hunter. I really want that space chainmail.

@Unicron80 is just salty because I teabagged his corpse while he was waiting for a rez in last week's Nightfall. >< It's why he has been ignoring my party requests and making me feel lonely and afraid :?

I have a... seventh grade reunion tonight after work (?!), but once that's over, I'll be on for Byron's Glamour.
seventh grade reunion?
the fuck
Only two classes have seventh grade reunions... Private schools and classes that survived a zombie outbreak together... except for the ones that didn't make it. Like Josh. RIP Josh.
“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
Requires even more ridiculous platform jumping during the Phogoth fight
Someone as in "Bungie leaked this" because there's positively no reason for anyone to ever decide to jump all the way over there in the middle of the Phogoth fight. :P

Look you guys, it's not teabagging. Sometimes someone just gets so pumped up with adrenaline that they have to bust out a few squats. Just like sometimes you're in bed with a sexy lady and you just get so riled up you need to just grab the kettlebell you keep on the bedside table and have a quick pump before you get back to the main event. We've all been there.

seventh grade reunion?

It's just a "hometown friends" type reunion to get together at a bar with guys I grew up with and haven't seen in years. It just happens to have been organized as a result of some of these guys bumping into our seventh grade teacher. Hence seventh grade reunion. But it's not as fun when you have to explain it.
Edit: Listen, Awatt. Go back to your pyramid. I don't need your guff. (See you in IB .)

For some, the "quick pump" *is* the "main event"...

you can clear all the adds before you start the fight at least, so it might not be too much of a pain getting that
I just got the Rezyl Azzir or whatever the fuck its called, took like 5 minutes, its faster to get those Ghosts than doing a Heroic Daily.
Well except if you suck at platform jumping, like some unnamed people I've seen.
Really easy with a Hunter with Bones of Air Jordan at least.
I am GREAT at platform jumping. . .just ask anyone. . .

You should probably bring a buddy if you arent great at platform jumping, because if you miss and slide down, you'll die and its a 30 second respawn timer and with randoms you dont always get revived.
Just a heads up.

is it still 30 seconds if you just do the regular map version? i thought that one was like 5 seconds and self respawn

It is 30 seconds in the regular, yes, also I havent seen anyone doing this strike that wasnt there for the Ghost in the 2 times I've been there recently.

normal mode with two of my extra-forum destiny people, a mate and one of his friends and my brother went quite smoothly up until the challenge.
We got it in the end, which was great. Considering it was the f-o-f and my brother's second and first time in KF respectively.
Unfortunately, the sisters were too much for everybody but my friend and I and we did not make it. Still, pushed my brother up to 296 with his boots and artifact so that is a victory. Just trying to figure out how to push that further now.

I think you mean his shrug emote.
also for people doing Iron Banner this site is pretty cool to cut down on spending too long in there, especially if you got multiple characters.

I did this with remote control for jolly holiday and it was pretty dumb fun in rumble. bubble felt worthless but I've never been good at using bubble.
