I play my Xbox One maybe twice a week, but every time I log on, I've got 20 friends online and 10-15 of those people are playing Destiny. Obviously there's a selection bias as most of my friends list is folks from here, but for other folks that frequent here, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone to play with.

My highest drops: 317 arms, 304 chest, 300 chest.

Holy crap - that was exactly my haul from level 5 drops!

I think he explained this before. Something about not having enough time in advance for FTB-worth level of planning.

Still, you could always add all of us on your Friend List, Kaz. Odds are, there'll be at least two DBOers online at "any" given time.

I think that's the best way to go :)

Feel free to add me if you like! PSN is same as my DBO tag.

I actually spend very little time chasing dragons these days. I'm basically a pure pvp player now. But I feel the pull of the dark side tempting me with challenge mode loot that I don't really want just because *numbers*. Not gonna do it. So sick of LFG groups complaining about their 13 yo GF who won't hold hands in public or whatever. UGH.

I love this stuff. Teenagers are cool, and I like giving them life advice.

No, this wasn't a "please give me advice" sort of chat, it was a very high pitched voice saying:

"yeah bro, it's cool. She's at like 7-11 or something just waiting for me to show up and buy her a slurpee but I ain't gonna 'cause I'm here sherpaing you weak asses through warpriest" (immediately dies) "Man you guys suck. That's why you don't have girlfriends and I do. Anyway, so she won't hold hands with me even though we're totally dating" (dies again) "which is bullshit, you know? Like who doesn't hold hands? We're practically in high school and. Oh, what the fuck? Why am I dead again? God you guys suck at this game."

For the first 5 minutes I was laughing because I thought it was a joke. Nope.

Good point. I'm going to go ahead and delete that post in case someone googles me when I am interviewing for a teaching job in the future.

Heh, probably not a bad idea. I like your edit, by the way :)

"My girlfriend won't hold hands in public."

"Have you tried hitting her?"

That... That might be the worst thing I've ever heard. And I've played Prison of Elders with Mad Stylus!

Destiny was fun. Once. The 300th time I'm supposed to kill that strike boss for a mythical loot drop that I'll never actually see is not fun, it's work. Which is why I don't do strikes anymore. Destiny is 10% awesome, 20% fun, and 70% work. Unfortunately they front-load on the fun so you spend the rest of your gameplay chasing the dragon.

Maybe you spend all your time chasing dragons, but not everyone does. Heroic Strikes are my favorite part of Destiny. The newer and redone Strikes can actually pose a challenge while the matchmaking usually ensures I have someone to help me along and people I can assist. It's the simple fun of being able to pickup and play a set of decent, enjoyable missions when I'm not feeling competitive or don't have hours to Raid.

Hahaha, yeah, truth.

I wish networked games had some kind of "I'm an adult so please match me with other adults" setting.

The beta pretty much put the nail in the coffin of my interest in The Division. The shooting sucks, the HUD is the busiest, ugliest mess I've seen in a long time, walking around the city is awful because everything looks the same. It's pretty in a look-at-all-the-rendered-crap sort of way, but I'll be damned if I ever had a clue where I was.

Played for about two hours, hoping something would change or that it would click for me in some way, but it never happened. That'll probably be my entire time with The Division.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess, but I don't see any redeeming qualities. It's a very adequate third person, cover based shooter. Gears did that better. I didn't play it long enough to truly judge, I guess, but it seems like it's only really an adequate loot-based RPG, too.
