    Imma engramble for an Eternal Warrior for sure.

    I don't care if there's better helms - that one looks cool.

    Yeah it looks cool until you wear it. It quickly becomes "When did I get to Mardi Gras and put on this giant paper mache head?!"

    Y'know what would be cool? If we could put stuff in our ships. Like a miniature (or even full-size) Vault storage screen tied to your character, maybe sized depending on what rarity of ship you have equipped and/or with an exotic transmat system upgrade from Xur, accessible via Ghost from social areas and anywhere you can summon a sparrow.

    Also, I wish Bungie had just gone all the way and killed off ascendant materials entirely. I need like two dozen of them to upgrade some older gear (VoC, murmur, some raid armor) and the only way to get them without finding 5 other people to run a raid is the 3 you get from doing dailies at max level.

    Oh, good, @Hiryu02 is posting vaguely serial killer nightmare creepshow snuff film prop shit and it's getting quoted and reappearing.

    Are you making Exo cosplay (which would be dope)? Did I miss your post about this? Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Not enough DIY slash real-world selfie-type photos in this thread for my taste.

    Also... that Weekly Update Part 2 was paltry as hell and probably not even really necessary, except that it was good to see that video honoring that guy. Anyone think Xur is going to be selling Gjallarhorn tomorrow as Bungie's penance (especially now that I have one)? I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

    Yes, sorry. I'm working on building my Titans's actual armor set as a cosplay outfit. That is the first stage of building the helm. My bad, I will post more actual armor-looking pieces soon hopefully.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    The original recipe XBox and 360 were pretty much PCs in fancy boxes, too, so that's not exactly new. The PS3 was as well, just a PC with a really bizarre processor architecture.

    I can only imagine how pure the bullshit of Thorn with keyboard and mouse controls would be.

    Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm just saying why it's unlikely as it is, and bringing up the fact that Bungie actually wants to make it on PC, the opposite of what the other guy said.

    And yes, consoles are quite clearly "glorified PCs", but if you'd take a look at, well, any major game release in the past couple years, PC versions have mostly been absolute clusterfucks despite being built on and released on "glorified PCs", which seems to say that it's easier not super easy or most devs are extremely lazy.

    I'll try VoG again, haven't in a while an want to see what an ascended VoC will do. I did apply to the 100, want to try the higher PoEs too at some point.

    So bought two engrams from xur before work. Had motes for 3 & fishing for a nighthawk (already tried 4 with no luck last time he sold them). First one did finally get me a nighthawk and 2nd was about my 10th light beyond nemesis (I get more of these than any other exotic), and I never made a warlock.

    How difficult would it be to do PoE 34 as a 33? I'm fuzzy on how difficult things are in relation to light levels.

    It's do-able. PoE 35 as a 33 is not.

    The difficulty is created by the stat-scaling function Destiny uses. If you're level 34 and your enemy is level 34, you do your weapon's damage rating. The larger the gap between your levels, the less damage you do. This seems to work both ways but only detrimentally for players. If you're level 33, you do less damage to 34s and to 32s, but if you're 33 then 34s don't do any less damage to you.

    The scaling is geometric, so 33 vs. 34 is as doable as 34 vs. 35, but 32 vs. 34 or 33 vs. 35 isn't. More than a 2 level gap and you're basically yelling "Bang! Bang!" at the screen for all the damage you do.

    Yes to this. I've done the 34 as a 33, it's doable especially if you have 34 teammates.

    Found some numbers on Reddit re: level advantages, the post is 9 months old but I think the info is still more or less accurate.

    Yeah, 33 vs 34 is a challenge, but it's possible. It's what I did the first week. Though @JusticeforPluto subbed in at around round 4 on his 34 when we got a little stuck and my two teammates decided they'd had enough (perfectly understandable really).

    Myself and @Wassermelone managed to take @Malakaius 's 33 Hunter through the 34 yesterday without much bother. Think we only wiped once at round 4 on the arc burn hive section because devious yellow bar wizards were corner camping me.

    @awsimo I usually put up VoG on Fridays for X1, but I can't stay up late tonight so I played last night instead...which was a successful night. Got a 32 and 35 PoE done, got my first Elder Cipher, and got my Vision of Confluence maxed out!

    A little disappointed with Xur, picked up Red Death for fun. I was really hoping Bungie was going to be awesome and give us Gjally after all the TK bad press...but of course not. Grabbed one helm, and of course got another Saint-14, because why wouldn't I get that from an engram after he sells it... Might try one more roll this weekend and hope for a Ram or Obsidian Mind (wish I had enough coins when he had it a few weeks ago).

    A question RE: PoE rewards. I know (or am pretty sure?) using a treasure key on PoE 35 for the first time in a week gives you better rewards than at any other time. Is there a difference between treasure key-ing 32, 34, or subsequent 35's?

    head over to archer's line and there's another wolves event

    get the ether key, get to the chest

    it lets me loot but doesn't give me anything. hmm. so I leave the zone and come back. lets me loot again and gives me nothing

    wtf

    only thing unusual is I zoned in while the event was going on and my ether key from the previous one hadn't expired. maybe that caused a bug with it I dunno

    I want my stuffs you jerks
