If you're going to run a 32 this afternoon, I'll join you. My usual Tuesday afternoon of getting bounties ready for a Ghorn drop is no more!

I'll be on for the IB reset at 1pm in hopes of grabbing some EL and Gear. After that I'm game for whatever.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Was a fun morning. Got two FBs to drop (my third and fourth) and my second Hawkmoon. Did not get any VoG armor though for my first ever Hunter. My Hunter will be stuck at 33 until I get either Variks' boots or VoG/Crota boots. I refuse to ascend crappy Vanguard boots.

I'll be there for the IB reset or at least hope to be. Scott and I aren't sure if EL will be available for purchase using the trick as the game may still register it as being bought (e.g., it will be greyed out).

I have a feeling that will be the case as well. If so, it's not that big of a deal. I guess I'll just grab the Pulse Rife as far as weapons go (I have the machine gun already). i have the chest already for my warlock and titan, but the gauntlets for niether.

I told Scott and Ice the same thing regarding my shitty boots. If I don't have any luck getting any decent ones from the NF or Raids, I may say screw it and use one anyway.

If you could reasonably be expected to run a 34 with your Hunter after leveling those boots, I don't see why you wouldn't. Essentially pays for itself.

And if you can run a 35, you'll come out ahead.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

yeah, heavy ammo perks don't stack anyway so you (Gooter) may already have some armor with the carry more heavy perk .... and I believe it only gives you 1 extra rocket in terms of launchers so you may not want to hold out if it prevents you from doing higher level stuff which as chess said will net you that extra EL (plus all that you will likely be getting from IB)

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Good news everyone!

The IB exploit still works! And I finally got it to work for me!

I got the Pulse Rifle, the Warlock Chest piece, and 2 Etheric Light! Yep, you can buy the light!

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Hell, I just ascended a Crota helm with a crap roll (orbs give grenade energy or some shit) just so I could use Ruin Wings. But those Ruin Wings were helpful in dragging a couple of randoms through 35 PoE, and now I can get that stupid looking airplane helmet from Variks.

I'm actually sitting on 10 EL before running anything this week, and I don't have any idea what to do with it. I'm looking at stuff like Murmer and Song of Ir Yut that I hardly ever use.

What was it that I heard about guns that only drop in 28 PoE? I think Scott was talking about an auto shotty. Somebody clarify please, because I can't find anything.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

interesting that you were able to get the 2 EL
I thought last time it limited you to just 1

more surprised you glitched in on your Lock since I'd figure you do it on the character you'd least like to run to lvl 5 as I believe you had all yours at 5 from last time

care to confirm the new Warlock chest is lame looking?

there are some weapons that you can get by running lvl 28 PoE or Vanguard Dragon strikes ... same as there being certain weapons that only drop in Crucible

a couple good ones are Dry Rot (shotgun which I believe you are refering to that can be rolled with full auto) and Hopscotch Pilgrim a high impact pulse with great stability that while doesn't have the healing perk of a Red Death has better stats for using in PvP ... something I am still trying to get

A few of us could only get one last time because we hadn't hit rank 5 prior.

Got it, thanks. And they come from the chest on 28 PoE, or do they just pop at the boss?

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Bought Titan IB chest. Looked at Scott's Warlock. Warlock looks pretty cool actually. Titan is just ok. I like the old Regalia better for both.

Edit. Also bought 2 EL and Jolders. I'm out of glimmer now.

You be the judge:



It's not as bad in person.

Oh, and being one of the first with the pulse rifle has also made me maybe the first to be broke from reforging it.

Went with Intellect and Discipline. The one with strength had fusion and auto rifle ammo perks. I think I got shotguns and scouts.

Intellect and Discipline it is. I never use auto rifles nor fusion rifles.

My bad, I meant what roll did you settle on for the pulse?

Sorry, missed this. I ran two, but I might knock out one more...and maybe a 34 or two later.

IMO, the old IB chest looks so much better.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Well here we go with yet another Xur Report. This week's Xur Report is brought to you by the Iron Banner Tournament. Do you like laggy gameplay mixed with tea bagging douches? Then you'll love the Iron Banner! Get wrecked this week only!

Xur's offers are nothing special, but at least we get some good rolls on the items he does have in stock.

Xur is located just inside the hangar right past the stairs. On with the deals:



For the Titan, it's An Insurmountable Skullfort. Gain health from orbs, spawn with melee energy. Great roll this week. If you need a Titan helm, you could do worse.

For the Hunter, it's the Lucky Raspberry chest piece. Another great roll. Heavy ammo perk, spawn with grenade energy, enhanced arcbolt. I prefer hunter helmets, but this isn't a bad option either.

For the Warlock, it's the Apothoesis Veil helmet. Again, great roll this week. It has the health from orbs perk as well as regaining your health when you use your super. There are better Warlock helmets, but this one is not bad.

The engram this week is for helmets...in case you want one of those better ones.

The weapon this week is the Universal Remote shotgun. It's claim to fame is having a scope, and also being equipped in the primary slot. Other than that, it's a fairly crappy primary and only acceptable shotgun. Hold onto your coins.

And that's it for the static text and image portion of the Xur Report this week. For a more in depth analysis stay tuned for the video version, coming up right now!
