    Oh yeah, it was definitely a hoot. Who knew jumping puzzles were so hilarious?

    (Turns out the secret is making sure you are invisible when you jump.)

    Some srs thoughts on NLB returning:
    They've probably fixed the exploits in regards to skipping the "cocking" animation. This is good news because they might make it actually a good gun now(probably wishful thinking but...).

    I hope proccing The Master perk is buffed. IMO getting a headshot should give you one free bodyshot kill. Otherwise the perk is kinda useless. Considering the TTK of most exotic primaries, it only seems fair after the lengthy cocking process(heh). In most situations, missing a headshot will kill you, especially 1v1. The risk needs to match the rewards in this case; it's considered a joke weapon because it feels like suicide going against anyone using a Last Word, Nirwens, Red Death, or basically anything else because of the risk involved. I just wanna see...


    What's gonna happen?
    Honestly I'd rather see the sights improved before the buff. Those sights are fucking awful.

    Heh, that reminds me of a pet peeve that I've been developing this week in the Insanity Bin. I've been running it as bladedancer because stealth helps to equalize my terrible light level (I started it just over 280 on my ranger) by letting me ambush people (also arc blade is really nuts on some maps). But then people start trying to charge right through me as I crouch down to cloak. And move me. And reset the cloaking timer.

    It's harmless and completely aggravating because it happens so very much.

    You'll have enough time to think it over during the reload animation on them.

    Oryx keeps on not giving me any weapons or helmets, soon I probably wont care about them, great system bungie.

    Your shit loot system does not make me want to play more, it makes me want to play less.

    LMAO.

    Turn in some bounties in the tower. Got to rank 5 and received the rank 5 package. The package only contained a Ghost Shell and I was like 'WHAT A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME!'

    Went into orbit and the game like 'oh, yeah, here's your 313 IB helm too'

    it's a shame the Titan IB Greaves is sooo....bland.

    Argh, now the hardest part of the game is choosing between the IB helm or the Trials Helm....

    I like how their announcement regarding exotics being added was (per usual) a little off. But that's cool, more is definitely better.

    From the BWU yesterday:
    Bungie wrote:
    We’re infusing loot tables with some more gold to mine from your action. Two of them are exclusive to Year Two. Others are weapons and armor from Year One that have been upgraded to keep pace with your Level 40 character. A couple of those Year One reprisals might even have some new surprises tucked away in their talent trees.

    You’ll start earning them in the places where Exotics get earned after we deploy the December Update. They might also appear in your Kiosk, if you’ve earned the right to spend Marks on them. If you want to see which ones have been chosen, we’ll be decrypting images of them where images thrive: Instagram.

    Follow https://instagram.com/destinythegame and wait for the parade of reveals. Signs point to tomorrow.

    The only number they confirmed was 2x Y2 exotics, of which we've seen one: the ATS/8 Tarantella. =)

    Did they edit it since yesterday? I could have sworn there was a "6 total, 2 new" mention somewhere. Am I crazy? Does anyone else remember that?

    I don't know if the bot in the DTG sub-reddit updates posts after the fact or if we could consider that an archived version of the original post, but it shows the same thing.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3tiaa9/bungie_weekly_update_11192015/

    I was distracted by HM Oryx when I first read it, so I can't say with any certainty if it was changed.

    I can, however, say with certainty that you're pretty crazy. <3

    Someone at some point must have said "6 total, 2 new", otherwise I don't think myself, Dodge, Vagabond, etc... would all be confused by them revealing far more than 6 total. It may have been a tweet or it may have just been another forumer, but someone must have said it at some point.

    maybe it's like one of those mass hysteria things where all the girls in an african village pass out at the same time each day

    Yeah, as @Vanguard correctly pointed out, I was the "six exotics, two of them new" guy. There was some poorly worded text on Polygon (shocker!) that put that thought into my mind, and even after reading and posting the official link, I guess it just stuck.

    But hey, wasn't everybody happy when the exotics kept coming? Yes you were! You're all so very welcome!

    Good ib games with the pA group. I'm awful using storm trance. Like overall tonight my kd was around 2. But while supering it was like .5

    Just non stop 0 kills and trades.

    Dunno what I'm doing wrong. Maybe need to use it with teammates in 6v6 instead of trying to heavy steal

    My issue with stormtrance is that I frequently find my lightning will stop abruptly as I pursue people.

    Also, I suck at hammer broing.

    These new classes are not my strong suit.

    A couple of tips from an amateur Palpatine:

    1) The perk that increases electrucute duration when activated with full melee and grenade help a lot as does teleport.

    2) You have to be facing your opponent pretty directly. It's easy to glide past them, at which point you stop zapping.

    3) Not sure if this is intentional, but if you're holding down the trigger when you teleport you won't come out of the teleport electrocuting. Make sure you let go of the trigger and repull the trigger after a teleport or let go before teleporting. It seems like teleportation makes the game forget you were zapping.

    Holy crap this game is a pissy bitch. I don't play for a few weeks cause real life took over, I'm sorry, ok?! Doesn't mean when I come back for some IB after a break its ok to screw with me.

    First match at LL 292 I do pretty darn good, we win, groups get broken up. That's cool. What's not cool is getting teamed up with pubs that are apparently using the controller with their nostrils and then, after getting rolled, handing the dude that went 5-18, then 5-19, consecutive IB armor drops! After ending up with five medallions I get put into another match, we win, guess what? Teams get broken up for a better match! YAAAAAAAAAAAAYIQUIT

    Bungie's comments on Raid Matchmaking make me really regret buying this game for my brother for Christmas. There is not a chance in hell either of us are ever going to perform a raid, ever. And Warhammer Vermintide is right there with all the matchmaking in the world. And if Raids really require all this logistics and planning, then raids shouldn't be this obtuse in the first place.

    Just got trapped on the reward screen after a win. I could flip between the screens (like the tower vault trap) but couldn't leave. Tokens didn't cash in. Win wasn't added to the bounty. Woot?

    Edit: And another round were I go on a 5 death spiral because the game spawns me with bullets already flying at my head over-and-over again. Apologies for the venting, but jeebus does this ever drive me nuts.
