so word is Warframe got infinately better (edit for chess: than they already were) by adding free emotes and free DLC for drinking water

good on them

Dying Light is the one doing the water promotion.

As if I'm a regular on Mercury

Anyone ever get a Legendary in the Ether chest? I been getting nothing but just blue gears, blah.

Just the emotes, not the water. Warframe has had emotes for quite a while, and they've always been free, so it's really just four new ones at the same price they've always been.

Everybody taking jabs at Bungie right now, and well deserved.

Just read somewhere that the only reason Destiny been successful is that it's basically a gambling simulator that gets people addicted...
As someone who got to level 32, I can't disagree.

Ive gotten a few, they were very rare, and I would assume its much rarer now that you cant double, and triple dip on the chests

Yeah, because this is the first game that has ever done this. Where was all the crying when COD did this with mountain dew and doritos?

To be fair, though, the Advanced Warfare thing (unless there were other CoD promotions like this) was for cosmetic gear and double XP. Doubling XP in Destiny won't mean anything for established players anyway (unless they're leveling a second or third character), so I doubt anyone is miffed about that end of the Red Bull thing.

The noteworthy aspect of the Red Bull promotion is for the quest (the meaningfulness of its rewards TBD) it unlocks, and that's in a game that's historically been kind of lacking in unique quests/missions.

Also, I don't think it's just the Red Bull promotion that's riling people up so much as it being one more thing to add to the pile.

Yeah, not too concerned about Red Bull or even $20 emotes.

For me it's the $40 price point for what has thus far been pretty weak content IMO.

I was able to get a legendary from the Ether chest, unfortunately is was a fusion rifle which suck and I hate it.

I hate the fusion rifle too.

Hit level 30 today with my warlock

My warlock is also lvl 30 but my vanguard marks is capped at 100 right now so I can't raise anymore til week is done. All can I do right now is farm the Ether chest and hopefully get something good out of it.

At 30, normal Crota's End would likely serve you well. Several opportunities for armor. Just find a group on LFG.

And if you can get yourself to 32, you could run PoE 32 and get an Armor Core, which will allow you to buy a 34 armor piece from Variks...and he has some really good ones this week for all three classes.

Does ascending armor max out the defense or just the light?

Also should i ascend helm of inmost light or crest of alpha lupi? Those are the only two exotic armors i have so i have to dismantle one or should i wait till i get another exotic armor

You can ascend both, you just can't wear them at the same time.

And ascending items maxes out defense and light, as well as the roll.

Ya i know you can ascend both just wondering if i should keep both or dismantle one of them

Inmost Light is pretty good for the Striker class. Alpha Lupi isn't very good, but it's an exotic chest, which might come in handy depending on what legendary pieces you get. I'd wait till Friday and buy a shard (or two) from Xur, or I'd wait to see what you get from Nightfalls if you're leveled up enough to do them.

Well, after a few weeks of early departures from the reset crew, I did a full morning this week.

We started with the ceremonial transfer of the saves as usual, with Gooter joining in on the fun. Then it was on to Nightfalls. If you thought Rockets McDickface went down fast last week, wait til you see Phogoth melt into nothing. My rewards:

Sunbreakers (Immediately sharded)
One/One Sythesite Scout Rifle (Immediately sharded)
Legendary Engram that became shitty rocket launcher (Immediately sharded)

At least the nightfalls didn't take very long...

We then went into the Vault Of Glass, and of course I really have little to play for there. I did have Atheon drop me a Truth and Mythoclast at the same time, along with a helmet. I think I also had no less than 4 Found Verdicts drop for me. Crazy.

Gooter then departed, as did McRubick and some random guy that had joined in. That left myself, joe and CJ. So it was decided that we'd try a Level 35 POE. I haven't finished a 35 since they patched Skolas, and never one on my Hunter. It took 2 tries, but we got the bastard down even though I was lying on the ground. My partners were each rewarded with an adept weapon, while I was left with nada.

So it was a fun morning, but not much in the reward department. Such is the world of the guy who has almost everything in Destiny...

I did buy that Warlock helmet, and it's Intellect and Strength, not Discipline and Strength.

Will pick up the helms. Might even do those 32s for armor cores before I do Nightfalls.

That Cabal/Arc Burn level can eat a fat dick. Seems to be there every week, and it's always dismantle mines. Those little scion bastards are the worst.

even better

that's what I get for copying and pasting from another source

The funny part is that CJ said the same thing when he first looked, and then corrected himself. Maybe it changed?
