The non exclusive Mars Strike mission is by far my favorite. Crazy intense.
-
That was insane. The tank surprised the hell out of me.
-
-
Yes. IMO it doesn't complete the story, which is probably what made people upset. I'll be on after 1pm your time. If I'm not on, text me. We can team up on the daily mission and do the level 20 strike on the play list to get some vanguard gear.

I spent a little time looking through the app today. If you go to location in grimoire you will see that Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn are all on there. I had 2 cards for Jupiter somehow. Also the weapons section was littered with empty tiles between all the weapon types we have access too right now. I have no doubt these locations will come into play down the road, but I wonder if new weapons will be added.

I actually joined Future War Clan, I forgot about that. They have a legendary hand cannon I want. I kept running back and forth between the vendors I forgot which one I actually joined. I just did the daily heroic mission. It was the first mission on Mars.... everyone had a yellow health bar just about, and then when it came to getting the key, even the damn shield holders had yellow bars. To top it off when you shot them in their knees they didn't go down and expose their head, so you just kept having to shoot the knee. I LMGed the guy with the key, GTFO'ed to the second location, skipped everyone in a mad dash to the console, and scanned it for the win. I tried this today and only got a few blues, but I didn't listen to the audio about standing in the right spot in what not, I'll try it again later. When I first arrived there was 2 people already doing it and they started being dicks, and meleeing me hoping I'd go away. I just kept shooting and ignoring them. Then they went into the cave to stop the spawning thinking I'd leave, so I just sat down until they left. I also noticed today that you are only allowed to get 100 vanguard marks a week. I'm at 67 right now. I guess that is to encourage you to play under your faction, and crucible. EDIT: Ok, after doing this with Sledge the correct way, I got A LOT of blue engrams. Other people were getting purples, I guess the game just doesnt like me. either way it you end up with a crap ton to scrap for weapon parts and you boost your Cyptarch rank while you're at it. I think we were trolled by Bungie, when I first arrived there were 5-7 of us, and all of the sudden wizards, sword knights, elite captains, and High Savitors appeared on the map and started wrecking us. I'll upload the video later. This is a level 6 area and I've never seen anything like that happen before. It wasn't a public event either.

I actually got it from either reaching Vanguard Rank 2 or from the Public Event. I was given an engram and for once I didn't get a damn scout rifle I already had . Oh yeah, it almost looked like we broke the game because we ran that final showdown flawlessly. Hopefully we have some off days when Queen's Wrath starts. I want to get some Legendary gear. FYI Strider check this out. I joined Dead Orbit today, I'm gonna try to grind my way to level 3 tomorrow. http://tay.kotaku.com/a-guide-to-obtaining-and-upgrading-legendary-gear-in-de-1636451289/+tinaamini Engrams are BS: http://kotaku.com/these-people-tried-to-figure-out-how-destinys-loot-syst-1636331002 After accompanying you both on your first trip to Mars, I now want to do that with every friend that gets the game just to get the reaction when the big doors open and the Cabal start raining rockets into the bunker. A few notes. After playing with Sledge today, I've given up on rocket launchers. They were good for Earth and the Moon, but the Cabal elites can completely side step them. The heavy machine guns are far more affective. Rocket Launchers are probably more suited for Crucible. I assume the same will go for hand cannons... they wont be as good in crucible, so I kept my scout and pulse rifles, along with my blue shotgun. Hand Cannons are the best in PvE... there really isn't anything better, even if you don't have precision. I was popping Shield Cabal in the knee and getting in instant head shot every time, but for every other non elite type its 2-3 shots and they are done if you miss the head. The Cabal are the best for farming outside of the moon mission. Unlike the other races, they instantly replenish reinforcements. I was taken aback when I cleared out a pretty heavily armed squad only to be faced with a drop ship immediately appearing and dropping more Cabal off at the location I was at. They also spawn yellow bar and arch shielded yellow bars more than anyone. This has lead me to believe why you don't see the Mars bounties at all. I haven't seen a Kill 10 Cabal Majors or Ultras yet. The Fallen and Hive give you some breathing room when you wipe them out.... in fact, sometimes they wont even appear until you leave the area... not the Cabal... once you wipe them, here comes a drop ship firing rockets at you and dropping more troops. I love this game's AI so much. The four races are so different, yet each pose a different challenge. The Vex are a bitch on Mars. I can't recall the name of them, but they are basically arc shielded yellow bar minotaurs. Outside of that I love the Vex because they tend to drop the most engrams. Plus their strike missions were fun... unlike the Moon which was pure hell from the very first room full of Sword Knights and Wizards. After playing this game for 30-40+ hours, I love/hate the fact that area damage is completely useless. My grenades and titan smash move have timed area damage effects... completely useless in PvE. Even the lowly Thrall know better than to walk up into the damage field. They either back up and change course or wait for the effects to stop and then attack. It makes the attribute almost useless, but at the same time shows you that you aren't fighting a bunch of dumbass NPCs. Public Events may have been doubled, but the instances need to be fixed. I can manage a few PEs by myself, but the ones that require you to eliminate a target before it reaches the certain amount of check points is insane.... they have a kinetic shield that doesn't go down fast, and instantly replenishes if you manage to do so on your own. There are never more than 2-5 people at any public event that I have seen... thats all fine and dandy for the defense ones. With record breaking sales, I'd imagine I'd see a lot of people on patrol mode, but I don't. Its a let down from the huge Devil Walker public event they showed off at E3.
-
Since you cant preview shaders before you drop 2000+ glimmer, someone made a web app that lets you do so on your own character. http://db.destinytracker.com/character I found a few new trinkets today. I saw a satellite zip across the sky on the moon. I also found a soccer ball at the Tower. For some reason it didn't capture me and another player jostling for the ball.
-
Netflix only put 2 of the 4 episodes for Ghost in a Shell Arise... really? I'll hold off until they put them all up. I started Pyscho-Pass, and so far so good.
-
I'll watch this, but I might download the sub versions instead of waiting on netflix.. but I think the last episode hasn't even come out on blu ray in japan yet. I should check on that.
-
-
Hmmm. I wonder if there will be 4 player co-op.
-
Its a plausible theory. I'd like that to be true. Mass Effect touched on this in a less dramatic fashion. Humans quickly gain influence on the council, and were despised by most races because they were seen as power hungry, warmongers, corrupt, and untrustworthy. Perhaps we could get more answers on this when the DLC comes out. I fully expect one or more of Jupiter's moons to come into play as the spot on the reef gives us an indication that it will be there in the future. The Darkness awaits behind the home of the awoken who don't seem to care too much for the Guardians in the first place. End of story mode spoiler that supports this theory.
-
I did a little bit of this today. It gets redundant fast, but I did get to level 21 by finding blue engrams. After finishing up story mode I can kinda see why some could be disappointing with the story. There are many things left unanswered. But I expect that to be revealed in the expansion pass. The game is fun as hell playing with friends. http://www.vg247.com/2014/09/17/destiny-guide-complete-tips-enemies/ << Love the Knights with swords tip ! My least favorite enemies 1. Knights with Swords - They're straight up assholes. 2. Minotaurs - They are assholes too, the mutli-teleport to get close to you and avoid your void weaponry is crazy, but they aren't as scary as sword knights because they arent as fast and don't chase as aggressively. 3. Cloked Vandals - Just an overall nuisance. On their own they aren't bad, but they normally show up when you are tied down by something bigger. They are great at dropping your shields when you don't have time to look for a distortion in the distance. 4. Champion level Hobgoblins - They can one shot kill you.... nuff said 5. Any Elite Cabal - They love rockets....
-
After doing the first mission on Mars. I decided I don't want none of the Cabal without someone else with me... They are a highly sophisticate military that have various solider types that share the same abilities as you. They have double jumps, rocket jumps, powered melee, and unlike the Hive, while they are just as tactical, they don't retreat as much. They push forward. They have shields, they have rocket launchers, they have pulse rifles. They have more advanced weaponry than any enemy race yet.... and I haven't even encountered a boss.... I played a few moon missions with another friend that was just getting started and made it to level 20. I'm impressed with how I still get good drops no matter where I am. I ended up getting a pair of boots that have the light attribute... it doesn't seem to be leveling me however. Probably because its only +5 Light. New content opens up upon reaching level 20. You now have a daily strike which was level 22 today, and a daily mission. So my ass decides to do the daily mission even though I'm timid to try mars on my own. The Daily Mission is just a normal mission from the campaign upgraded with level 20 enemies. This shit ain't no joke. Of course with my luck, today was my least favorite mission so far.... and they made it even worse with 2x enemy spawn. I really didn't think I'd beat it in the first place, and I barely pulled through. Playing this made me realize that there is an epic fail in programming as far as clipping goes. As you can see in the video, I get stuck on stupid environment pieces. As much as I love this game, it has that COD type clipping to where if the tip of your elbow is on a door frame you cant move forward. I cannot f'in stand that. I also can't stand ally clipping. There is nothing worse than trying to retreat, and a buddy is trying to do the same in a different direction and you get stuck on each other. Yeah its more realistic, but it still pisses me off. I haven't played multiplayer yet, but I can already see jackasses standing in doorways to where I cant get out or in to evade fire. Excuse my aim. I've been sipping on Jim Beam, which is the whole reason I was stupid enough to attempt this on my own! XD As far as I can tell you don't really get anything other than a good amount of glimmer drop and higher green drops. Perhaps there is a trophy for doing so many. I didn't get any advancement towards level 21, thats for sure. On a final note, The newest patch doubled the frequency that Daily Events happen. When I helped a friend on the moon I got a second daily.... when I went to mars two dailys happened. One at where nobody was so it failed on me. What I have seen from Mars and Venus is that materials and chests are spawned more frequently than on earth and the moon. Mars had a lot of chest spawns and element spawns, while Venus had an highly condensed spirit blossom spawn rate.
-
I finally got 50 spinmetal and turned it into the Vanguard Quatermaster. it gave me 5 vanguard marks and a good amount of glimmer. It seems its worth doing the redundant patrol missions to run into each planet's material. I just wish they would spread out the locations more. Old Russia likes to send you into the Devil's Lair area relentlessly and it gets annoying running back out, grabbing another beacon only to find out you have to run back in.
-
Damn storm keeps knocking out my power, so I'm reluctant to do any Destiny missions since I already got shut down in the middle of one.
-
I hope you're taking sweet revenge on your coworkers by hacking up you lungs upon them as they normally do to you.
-
Here is my epic go for broke finisher on the same boss with Strider. OK... I couldn't wait. I finished up Venus... this game as a trend of having the 2nd to last mission of each planet being harder than the final mission. 0_o
-
Geez. I'd rather deal with the Devil Walker while fighting Sepiks Prime than deal with the room full of sword knights during that boss fight. If I don't see you on when I get on tomorrow. I'm probably gonna wait to do the Vex gatekeeper until you get on... the Venus missions can be a bitch by yourself. There are damn Vandals with yellow health bars if that means anything to you.
-
Finished Death Note... The end was fitting, but I didn't like Near or Mellow as much as I did L. The change didn't sit well with me. But I did like the mutual respect that even Light acknowledged near the end.
-
L was a great character. The last half felt rushed in comparison to everything that happened with L.
-
Especially how Light made so many mistakes at the end like not noticing the marks on the note pads. Earlier in the series he caught everything and was extra cautious. On a side note, I wonder how many years Misa has left after gaining years from the first Shinigami, making the eye deal twice, and then gaining Rem's years.

The hand canons really are the best as long as you can keep them up to date with your level progression. The range is insane, and head shots are instakills every time. We just need to find a good one with elemental damage. I went ahead and finished up the moon after you got off... the last mission doesn't disappoint. I wish you could have captured myself trying to titan smash Sepkis Prime. That guy that was in our party was horrible. He kept trying to camp on the ghost scan part. These AI do not let you camp, and I've noticed the Hive will keep sending waves of thrall if you try to hang back and pick them all off. This game has the best enemy AI I've ever seen. Here is a video of Sledge and I getting caught off guard with the appearance of a massive boss. Dammit Strider, I'm off for the next 6 days, we're gonna get some play time in!
-
Using Turtles, I've notice the subtle things Bungie has put into this game, like wind effects in your ears when you sprint or are in a cave.... this is the first time I've seen this real life application used. It gives a sense of immersion that I haven't experienced before. I'm level 7 and did the first moon mission... which was actually really intense by myself. I also got my first look at vehicle play.... screw the Sparrow! My hand canon eventually became obsolete and I went to a pulse rifle until I got a newer canon... It only has 3 shots, but I'm addicted to the power per shot now. I might go with shotgun as a true back up rather than the long distance luxury sniper rifle.
-
In typical fashion my PS4 has been off for a while without me paying attention. The power must have went out at the house at some point in the last week or so.... therefore I had a crap ton of updates waiting on me when I turned it back on along with the install and update for Destiny, I didn't get to play much tonight. The AI is vastly improved IMO... These lower level guys are complete cowards... you have to chase their ass down as they tuck tail behind cover and run away as you close in. I was a bit surprised how much better they were at self preservation. This is the opposite of what I have seen from any other game's AI, that will quickly give in and expose themselves from cover. These AI will only attack when they have no choice and know that it is the end for them. It seems you take even more damage than in the beta, but I am only level 3 so I will reserve that judgement for later. After have saying all that... anyone try out the revamped Hand Cannons? LMAO! How is this shit not nerfed yet? I took the Wizard out in like 2-3 seconds!!! XD I'll be abusing this until its fixed. I probably wont rock it on strike missions until the boss though... the ammo capacity and mag size does have its limitations in intense fire fights, but the absurdity of its power more than makes up for it. Observe: (The video was still processing when I posted this. I will fix later if it doesn't work)
-
Just skimming through this without reading it all to avoid spoilers.... this is exactly why I didn't play as much of the beta as I did the alpha.. once I hit the cap I stopped on the beta. It seemed like it was just a better stress test from the alpha for the same exact thing. Once I get my hands on my copy, I wont have any issue plowing through the same missions. As I said, The alpha/beta I wanted as a sample.. I didn't want it to blow my mind. The strike mission we were treated to was damn good, but the later trailer shows that other strike bosses make Sepiks Prime look like a chump.

I was hoping they'd do the Halloween event again. I see everyone with cool titles and Halloween gear from time to time in the game. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/upcoming-events-in-guildwars2/

Hopefully I'll have my copy of Destiny by tomorrow.

Take some pics of that ghost so I can see how awesome it looks.

Called them, they said the FedEx guy didn't have it, but might have it later today, if not, it will be there Monday.

Figures. I hope the manager at the gamestop has to sign for it and lock it in his office so no stupid ass employee can even see it.

.... For reference The boss fight on Dragon's Reach pt 2 will blow you away.
