I wouldn't mind joining a good clan to find good groups for raids and PvP now that I'm raiding 3x a week plus 2x oracle/templar on hard.

No its not, those people are already in the game playing so it's much easier to already join up. In other MMO games you can actually talk to each other, sell stuff, trade stuff, ask for help doing things, everyone pretty much agrees that this games needs easier and better communication.

Why they didn't enable any type of communication in the so social area, The Tower, I'll never understand.

You're right, but we don't have those options in this "MMO" unfortunately, so it is what it is. We all know this already, as it's been repeated it here many times. Other than complaining to Bungie, or boycotting their game, all we can do is make the best of it, and spamming random invites will get you nowhere fast.

Look us up, I know there's a group or two doing VoG on hard regularly. I did overestimate our membership earlier lol, we have 100+ followers but only around 60 people who set it as their XB1 clan. Also, no matter who you join, the Destiny app message feature allows everyone to be in a group chat. Same functionality as destinylfg basically.

Ok I guess AT doesn't like Bungie.net links. Look up Intrepidus if you're interested.

As soon as I got to the tower today I got 7 invites from people I don't know. Three of them actually told me what they wanted. One wanted to do nightfall, one wanted to do raid hard mode atheon checkpoint, and one wanted to do raid normal from the start. I didn't really have time for any of it. I guess people see lv30 and want them to help.

Must be because you're 30, I'm 27 and hardly ever get random invites. I'm not in the tower too much, I leave to farm Vanguard Marks for Legendary weapons.

I should really start doing Raids because I need Shards and Energy to upgrade all my Legendary stuff.

Yeah if you can get a group together and need a fill in I'll help out. I don't mind helping people I know.

RNGesus has loved me this week

Nightfall 1 - Helm of Dire Arankara
Nightfall 2 - Ice Breaker (3rd one ive gotten)

Weekly 1: Coins + Legendary Engram - turned into energy
Weekly 2: Coins + legendary engram turned into a HMG which I think I sharded

VOG 1:
Atheons Epilog
Praedyth's Revenge (sharded, 3rd one ive seen)
Corrective Measure - HMG
The Space Ship

VOG 2:
Raid boots (yeah now 30)
Ice Breaker (4th one)
Atheons Epilog (Sharded)
Corrective Measure (Sharded)

got a legendary engram just doing the daily bounty's off a lvl 8 thrall turned into Steel Oracle Z-11 which is a Void rocket launcher, which I needed as I only had 1 rocket launcher and its Arc

Cryptarch level up gave me a legendary which just turned into energy and I got the "Thunder Devil" shader which is actually pretty good

That is some insane drop.
Nightfall 1: 10 strange coins (crap!)
Nightfall 2: 11 Ascendant Energy (I have 47 already!)

Yeah I'll pop on tomorrow. Really liking my shadow price and hunter. KD is flying up.

Most likely dropping my 2nd warlock this weekend or next week and rolling a titan too.

Xur's inventory this weekend, he's in the Hangar, on the right after entering it:

Crest of Alpha Lupi [Exotic Titan chest armour] – 13SC
Mask of the Third Man [Exotic Hunter helmet] – 13SC
Sunbreakers [Exotic Warlock gauntlets] – 13SC
Truth [Exotic rocket launcher] – 17SC
Exotic Engram [helmet] – 23MoL

So nothing to buy from xur for me. Why am I starting to feel like Gjallarhorn won't be sold again? He has had many weapons twice. Sunbreakers what...5 times now or something? Yet there are a couple things on the potential sell list that never seem to appear.

I dunno if I would give up ice breaker for truth though.

Now that I think about it I spent most of my energy leveling up my hezen vengeance and the other weapons I didn't finish out. Gonna have to wait until I get some more before I can finish that up. Been getting lots of shards and no energy.

I also have a feeling that Gjallahorn will not be sold again.

I hope they don't sell it again, its the best Rocket Launcher and I'm glad to have one. I would hate for everyone to be running around with it only for them to nerf it like they did the Suros.

The idea of Xur is dumb in my opinion, its not hard to get coins and allowing everyone to just buy exotics is completely opposite of everything else in this game in terms of effort required. Also, he only sells about 2 items per class so everyone with that class just buys the same things and they're no longer unique.

All I got from xur was the Sparrow upgrade, I have everything else already except for sunbreaker.

I was going to grab it but ended up getting Light beyond nemesis from the exotic engram so i'll rock that until I get Praxis fire. The exotic didn't really matter much as I just want to get the character high enough for nightfall and weekly 28.

I actually don’t mind the idea of Xur especially the way it is now where they repeat quite a few items and rarely show others. The fact that you can only equip one exotic at a time per weapon/armor I feel balances it a bit as well. I think it would be way more busted if he sold exotic level legendary like the raid gear/weapons as there’s no limit to equipping those.


TBH the only way to be as unique as possible in this game is to get drops of items that have different perks from the ones being sold.

I buy exotics so I can shard them once the DLC comes out. Hoping to get some of the new exotic upgrade materials.

Disagree 100%. Just because someone got RNG luck doesn't mean everyone should suffer having junk weapons. Raid got tons easier when people got ice breaker and suros. When people have good weapons and armor to level up it helps the whole team.

What strikes me as odd is why would a doctor recommend a specific game. What about destiny is going to help this person I wonder. Just curious why Destiny and not some other of the numerous games out there.

Also I saw that weapon and I am not impressed with the stats and if it is anything like the stranger's rifle that takes up half your field of view, I want nothing to do with it.

Did you read the story at all? I'll quote the relevant part:

"To my extreme surprise, his neurologist told us that video games have been showing tremendous use as a PT tool for brain and memory damage. He even brought Destiny up on his computer and after some speed-reading he was all but jumping at the opportunity the game could pose for someone in my husband's position."

The doctor didn't pull Destiny out of thin air. Video games in general are used for physical therapy. Destiny specifically came up because I'm sure the patient and wife mentioned that's what they would be playing. This is my assumption anyway.

I read it but saw nothing, even in your quoted part that says "destiny is the game that will help you". This is how the story has been portrayed all day on the forums I visit. That the doctor specifically recommended the game. If that is not the case then fine.

I think the patient/wife mentioned it, the doc googled, and said that looks good. I wouldn't see how or why a doctor would recommend this specific game out of the blue lol.

Even before the operation, they talked about how he wanted to play the game so bad and tried moving his surgery around Destiny's release.

Being that he and his wife are big fans, the doctor probably looked into it and agreed that yea it will work on the pretense that video games are good for this type of therapy. The article title is a little misleading. It's not a platformer or puzzle game at all.
