Good lord, that'd be amazingly bad!

No, I think it's just minus one per death, and you have to get to 500.

So even if I get every kill with void energy, I have to reach +500 on my kill death ratio. I have a decent void sniper rifle, but it's a level 12. Hoping it scales. I'm also hoping that the Warlock's melee counts as void energy.

Phew, you had me worried, lol. Just come back to Warframe. :D

Don't worry. I'm still playing Warframe and still think it's a far superior game.

I'm just fully maxed out on Warframe until the next update, so Destiny is a (mostly) decent time filler. Plus I spent $90 on it...digitally. But I'm reaching this point where the incremental reward for my play time is getting smaller and smaller...almost to the point where it feels pointless.

I'm so close to trading Destiny in for $44 and trying to sell the Season Pass separately for $20-25. I think I can probably sell the Limited Edition artbook for $10 too.

I don't know. Destiny isn't terrible. It just doesn't feel finished yet...like it was supposed to be bigger and more coherent but got trimmed way back at some point. And the underlying reward and currency systems don't yet make sense or lack balance.

If they're already bought in, it's probably worth most people's time to stick around to see where the game goes from here. But for you specifically, knowing how little time you have to game...sell that shit while you can! ;)

Guess I'll work on Dead Orbit.

He has Dead Orbit and Future War Cult mixed up, so be careful with that.

Patch is supposedly live per Bungie's Twitter. I'm at work so I can't confirm.

It's live. I downloaded it, but there's "network" issues right now. Can't do online components like strikes and crucible matches. Maybe it'll work later after everyone has downloaded it.

Here's a good Forbes article that discusses changes made to the story. There's some potential future spoilers.

Patch is indeed live. However I didn't notice much difference in the better engram fix. They change all your legendary engrams in your inventory to blue. So guess I shouldn't have held on to them. Supposedly better drop rates but I played 4 strikes after the patch and didn't get a single legendary and about 4-5 blues, all worse than things I have already.
I just got the achievements for maxing out a subclass and max weekly Vanguard score. Those two achievements were about the only thing keeping me playing. Seems like a good time to run off to Gamestop.

Yep, they stated that when they announced the upcoming patch.

Finally got rid of that last piece of blue armor. Now I've got purple everything plus an exotic helmet. Up to level 27 now.

Also have legendary Auto Rifle and Machine Gun.

Things that make this game bullshit for $500 please

Having to do a exotic weapon bounty which is earn a kills/death ratio of 25. rotfl

there is no fucking way i can even come close to this possibly happening with the way i play crucible. i might as well give up. how absurd that i have to complete something in a part of the game i have zero interest of.

I guess that's a statement to how random the loot is in the game. I'm level 25, almost 26 and I have one piece of legendary armor, rest is blue, and no legendary weapons. Never even sniffed an exotic.

that isn't the requirement
and please form your answer in the phrase of a question

sorry, kills/death spread. still a fucking joke. i can't kill more than 10 guys in a match and am consistently dying 15. joke joke joke joke joke that to get the best gear, you have to play in the shit PVP.

i'm pissed i bought the LE version of this since i already used the DLC pass. i'm ready to trade this in and play Borderlands next week to get the taste of this game out of my mouth.

what was the point of using the expansion pass now?

what's the point of keeping it? i assumed i'd liked the game more than i did, so there was no reason to hold onto it. :shrug:

i only sell games at stores, and they don't take the those as trade, so i was stuck with it pretty much.

Which strike playlist did you do? They only increased the drop rates for Vanguard: Tiger, which is the highest-level one. Haven't tried it myself yet, though.

My K/D ratio is always pretty terrible (less than 1 most of the time) and yet somehow I got that one done in just a few matches. I don't think it's actually as bad as it sounds. The one for 500 kills minus deaths on the other hand...I had it up to 70 at one point and then it went back to 0 after a bad match, so I abandoned that bounty because fuck that.
