I love the invisibility crouch for the bladedancer class and the Ice Breaker is an amazingly effective weapon in the crucible. I tried some Iron Banner today and held my own no problem. Here is a highlight of some of my kill streaks: And I had one round that I completely dominated in. I had a 7.0 kill / death ratio. I played enough iron banner rounds to get to the first rank so I could get the shader and emblem. You only need to be on the winning team 4 times to get enough points.. but if you are on the loosing team you get no points towards the iron banner event. The bounties are ridiculous and I'm not even going to attempt them.

That was the problem I was coming across myself in the higher difficulties. It might go back to 2 shots per enemy if I get my legendary hand cannon fully upgraded for damage, but I'm a bit more interested in seeing how effective a legendary auto rifle will work for me before I dump the materials into my hand cannon. I was switching back and forth between my 2 sniper rifles and it was working good for me but I definitely need a special weapon with arc damage because of all the enemies that have damage resistances. Blade dancer is a suicide class on these higher difficulties, but it's definitely worth switching to in the middle of a fight to cloak myself to revive a team mate. But the golden gun needs a buff imo. It never hits for yellow damage. With both of my sniper rifles I can do considerable more yellow damage to bosses than I can with regular shots from the golden gun. I haven't seen the full warlock sunsinger class abilities in use but I think the titan ward of dawn is the most useful super in pve for higher level difficulties.

I got lucky tonight and the cryptarch must have appreciated my extra bowing to him before I had him look at the exotic helmet engram I got from Xur today because he gave me the exact helmet I wanted. Mask of the Third Man. That Suros looks beastly! The Red Death healing factor seems almost OP to me. It auto healed the first two tiers of his health bar from red state, thats nuts. The thunderlord looks great. Its like a more powerful version of the zombie lmg I have now. The MIDA Multi-Tool has some serious potential. If it is a true hair trigger then that gun could have an incredible fire rate. I don't know if you guys have noticed it before, but equip a hand cannon and just ever so slightly press on the trigger and slowly release.. you'll see the hammer of the gun start to cock but not fire. If the MIDA is a hair trigger, you could potentially lightly tap that trigger button and unlock your clip extremely fast. I'd love to see a video of it fully leveled up but I haven't found one yet. The Universal Remote.. I like that. A shotgun with range sounds ridiculously fun. After Strider got off, me Avolanty and Soccerking2028 (he joined our clan and I added him on my friend's list), tried the weekly nightfall strike. wtf. It was so ridiculously one sided that all we could do was laugh every time we got one shot killed by almost every enemy. At one point, 3 regular goblins were holding their own against use. wtf. The nightfall strike had 5 or 6 modifiers on it.. including the nightfall modifier.. if all 3 members of the fire team are dead at the same time we are returned to orbit. As if it wasn't hard enough, there are no checkpoints, no respawning and you don't get a second chance. Everyone gets booted to orbit and gets no reward. Flipping crazy. I'm really liking the Ice Breaker. The regen ammo really comes in handy and there is an exploit in PVE.. If you run out of special ammo, switch to this weapon, let it regen to the max 6 rounds, switch to a different sniper rifle and you'll have 6 rounds.. but if you switch to the ice breaker, expect it to always start off with 0 ammo.

Damn.. I only need one more coin. I'll do one public event to see if I get one in the daily reward for it, then I'll play nothing but the tiger strike list this afternoon until I get one. I also only need 2 or 3 more motes of light to get that exotic engram. Even if its not an item for my class, I'll save it for another character or break it down for energy.

From what I've seen there are currently 22 exotic weapons and 52 legendary. Seeing as we can only equip 1 exotic, the legendary weapons are the ones I need to really focus on because some seem as good as the exotics.. like the Hezen Vengeance is basically the Gjallarhorn but it has a larger blast radius and has 3 rounds while the Gjallarhorn has only 2. But I think it does slightly less damage because the initial rocket explodes from proximity to an enemy instead of a direct impact to the target. If I can get that weapon, I'd be pleased to use an exotic as a primary or secondary instead. http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Hezen_Vengeance List of all exotics: http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2i4oic/all_22_exotic_weapons_currently_ingame_organized/ List of all current legendary: http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Legendary_Weapons

I forgot to look at the bottom of Xur's stock.. I watched a video a couple minutes ago showing that he has a material exchange for coins. The first is 2000 or so glimmer for a coin, then another for spinmetal, but all three could only be redeemed once. I'll check Xur tomorrow because I only need 1 more coin. That icebreaker sniper rifle, the gjallarhorn and the vex mythoclast are probably the best exotics in the game from what I was reading. Especially the Vex.. but from what I saw, that icebreaker makes many higher level missions easier to accomplish because those missions have restricted ammo and the icebreaker makes its own. But the gjallarhorn will destroy bosses, mobs and kill entire teams in pve that are even close to each other. I found the helmet I want. Its called "Mask of the Third Man", it restores health when you pick up orbs and it extends the duration of the arc blade by making it use less energy per attack.

I saw that rifle and I'm 2 coins short for it myself. I'm not certain if I want that or if I should wait for that rocket launcher that might be for sale next weekend. It only has 2 positives over my supremacy. It has 2 extra rounds and it makes ppl explode. But I just saw that it is solar damage.. The supremacy is void and so is my beastly zombie machine gun. I might have to get this if I can get the coins just so I can have another high level element sniper rifle.

At least on gw2 you can trade for resources. I'd love to buy some relic iron with some glimmer and save myself alot of time looking for it. I did 5 bounties tonight and finally got a piece of armor leveled up so I'm over 1000 defense. I'm still at level 25 but at least I won't have to run from enemies as much as I was. I still haven't gotten any exotic bounties yet but at least I'm over halfway to getting my next vanguard rank up so I can buy the last piece of legendary armor I need. I might have to do a bunch of strike play lists in an attempt to get strange coins depending on what Xur has to offer tomorrow.

Its probably bungie's strategy to stick with what they said about destiny appealing to all players. They want to make sure ppl who put in over 200-300 hours will be the only ones that have a chance at fully leveling up and should feel rewarded for putting in all that time.

It must be randomized horribly. I hit cryptarch rank 4 yesterday and got my first purple from him.

Dragon Age: Origins is currently free on Origin. Unfortunately it does not include the DLC. But the base game will be good for me to try it out to see if I want to buy the Deluxe version on Steam during it's next sale.. With Origin trying to match some Steam sales during the holidays, Origin might actually sell the DLC to compete with Steam in the future. https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/free-games/on-the-house

After playing the level 24 tiger strike playlist farming seems pointless now. After doing 3 strikes with you guys I got around 20 green items, 9 blue engrams and 1 legendary engram in less than an hour. I'm glad I got enough engrams to level up my cryptarch tonight too. 2 legendary items in one night for me.

I was just thinking.. If they increase the level cap then everyone's high end gear would be negated. All the current equipment wouldn't hold a candle to the newer level 30-40 exotics and legendary gear and everyone would need new endless loot caves to level everything up again. I hope if that happens, then Bungie will increase the drop rate again so we don't have to endlessly grind with every new expansion. I read the spoiler in DX's post from a few pages back about how all the guardians could actually be the bad guys in Destiny and it got me thinking more of this possibility. Even though we are playing as the "light" against the darkness, we are technically a reanimated corpse.. and if a corpse can be revived, then I would assume the perspective of the guardian could be altered by the ghost as well. Just as we see everything as light, we could actually be the darkness and the light is actually surrounding us. Aliens always look evil because they look different, but they could be the ones trying to fight off the evil of the Traveler. It struck me odd that when we saw the queen and the awoken for the first time, they never acknowledged that my own character was an awoken. Perhaps it was bad writing, or maybe they didn't see me as an awoken.. because to everything or everyone outside of the influence of the traveler, they see us for what we really are.. an animated corpse or whatever darkness we really are. I remembered an old interview from 2011 with Alan Rickman. He talked about his experience of playing evil characters and it fits into this theory: http://www.npr.org/2011/11/29/142903636/alan-rickman-from-shakespeare-to-snape

Yesterday was the worst day in my life. My poor little baby Chu passed away. She was only 4 years old.

Very true.. but DC did him right in Justice League Unlimited. He was pretty bad ass in that series: He b*tch slapped that person. -
Yep. It was renewed for Season 3 for 13 episodes.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 - Teaser Trailer
Sledgstone replied to Sledgstone's topic in Movies, TV & Books
I still haven't watched Battle Royale. I'll watch it eventually but I'm not in a rush to see it. Most Japanese films don't live up to my expectations. The american version of "The Grudge" was far superior to "Ju-on" imo. Same with "The Ring" compared to "Ring". The live action Death Note movie sucked too. Most Japanese anime is crap to me now too because its all the same junior high school girls in school outfits and every main character somehow lives in a dojo. Its like how I lost all interest in season 2 of Sword Art Online after I saw the guy actually lived in a dojo. Everything has been done before and keeps being repeated endlessly.. At least Sharknado was an original concept. I do like the Hunger Games movies tho. Mostly because its a strong female lead and she kills people. I like that and it reminds me a bit of Kill Bill. Its refreshing to see a strong woman character. -
Thats the problem with comics. DC and Marvel never retire any characters and constantly reboot them endlessly. This one is based on the 2011 reboot called "New 52" which is why the style is different again. Just like "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a different reboot of "Spider-Man". Once people get bored of the Spider-Man movies, it'll get rebooted again and we'll probably get "Ultimate Spider-Man" movies.. yet another version. Every trailer gives away everything now, it sucks. What annoys me most about the DC animated movies is that we all know the super heroes will win and not a single one of them will die.. and even if they do die, they'll just get rebooted or brought back to life through some means. The best animated movie DC has made imo is "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse". The ending for that caught me by surprise.

I'm going to watch the new transformers solely because Shia LaBeouf is not in it. I doubt it'll be good, but other reviews I've read say its the best TF so I'll give it a try even tho it seems like it will disappoint me anyway, which it probably will. This TMNT movie must be better than TMNT 3. I'll watch it just to try and erase TMNT 3 from my memory once and for all.

I was going to read Attack on Titan, but it does sound like its a let down. I don't even know where the series would go from where the anime left off. It looks like the humans will eventually be wiped out as there is no end to the titans and apparently some other humans want their city destroyed. The only thing I look forward to finding out is what "truth" was in that guy's basement. That was the primary goal they were going for at one point and then dropped it and never mentioned it again. Instead of Attack on Titan, I'll start reading Claymore because it actually ended. I know the manga is better than the anime so I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

New Season of Sailor Moon Delayed
Sledgstone replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Anime / Animation / Manga / Comics
I keep spending too much of my own free time playing Destiny. Lady isn't interested in watching this so I much choose gaming or watching Sailor Moon. x_x -
That level 24 strike play list paid out for me. After two strikes I got 5 blue engrams a mote of light and a shader. One of those blue engrams turned into a legendary hand cannon too. With no modifiers the strikes are easy to farm but still just difficult enough to enjoy.

I watched this movie yesterday.. it was pretty much a rip off of the movie Gladiator. The CG effects for the volcano were good. I was very surprised Kiefer Sutherland was in this, he must have owed somebody a favor. This movie was more like a very high quality Syfy movie. It was decent to watch once, but definitely not something I'd rush out to buy on bluray.
