I had cannon shots kill me in midair(no wall behind me), kill fully shielded in a single shot, splash damage like you wouldn't believe, and of course the spamming. The worst part though is you had to aim center mass with the ads. Otherwise that one-shot seeker will pop out of their heads and track you.

I got weasel'ed at the end of my Hunter run, which made me want to go out and make something not living anymore. One-shot Celestial, though. ;-)

Armor of Light+Full Auto shotgun=you STILL have to dodge cannon shots to get to him!

Anyway...this week is Void Burn, so it should be a little easier.

Triple Rainbow Burn Daybreak Strike.

Nowhere near as fun as I thought it would be...or hoped it to be. Taniks pulled some insane bullshit that week....XD

If you didn't do it with a self-resurrecting solar warlock, you're doing it wrong. That one is totally solo-able in those conditions and the solar grenade do crazy damage. That's actually one of my favorite strikes to run because the warlocks are so broken on it.

On the bright side, one of the awards was another Hawkmoon, which rocks me with laughter every time. ;-)

I figured I was a goner for sure, but it was kind of satisfying to basically replay the Master Chief from Halo:CE. :)

That's awesome. I also imagine myself in that scene when I do stuff like that.

So that's why it took you so long to get to that public event! ;)

I went off the cliff and immediately realized I had made a serious error. I figured I was a goner for sure, but it was kind of satisfying to basically replay the Master Chief from Halo:CE. :)

We did finish it Sunday. I think Vinny has one scheduled tonight if you want to join. (I won't be able to.)

I'm trying to alternative raids every week so I'll probably be scheduling a lair next week. I'll give you a heads-up if you want.

Hope you can play Saturday.

I would like to! 7:30 CST might be a bit early for me, though. It also might be totally fine. Just have some stuff up in the air right now, and I probably won't know until that day.

If you get six, don't wait up for me--I'll catch the next one.

I'd love to give another shot sometime. I still haven't managed to do it.

That’s what we did Previously On Destiny. How ‘bout you?

Had a fun rocket kill last night. Came through a doorway to see an invisible Hunter; was already loaded with rockets to see if I could clear the zone capture point. Knew I was too close to shoot him head-on (would kill us both), so I shot for the doorway behind me and prayed. Turned out okay. :)

Niiiiiice. I love those gut instinct "I hope this works" shots. They always make me grin from ear to ear when I pull them off :D

There are two periods I love with any raid: when you're first figuring it out and you succeed by the skin of your teeth, and later when an experienced team is working together, and it's like a key in a lock--click, click, click.

Yeah, the direct buy stuff feels nice. Right now though I need every token I can get for Engrams. Aside from the Raids and Iron Banner, I did a few Adventures on Titan so I could buy a full set of Lost Pacific gear which I’ve been slowly Masterworking and converting into Heavy armor. I like the set for its unique look. It’s got armored pieces along with some softer spacesuit type materials.

Titan has the only non ridiculous titan shoulders in the game. I really like the unique take of Titan’s aesthetic.

Junior and I had a blast playing a few games of Iron Banner last night and tonight. Old Fire Thief joined us for a couple games tonight.

I'm really impressed by how close and competitive the games were. Every game had edge-of-your-seat moments with leads changing often, and it felt like the zone advantage mechanic really mattered. Almost every game was decided by less than 10 points, and more than a few were decided by less than 5.

I imagine the credit goes to the skill-based matchmaking system. Whatever the case, we're enjoying it!

I'm also pretty happy with the token system and the fact that you can purchase items directly (like that there hand cannon... I can't resist them). I initially thought, "oh wow - 60 tokens! That's going to take forever". Nope - didn't take long at all.

Solo queue on PC IB has led to mostly getting matched up 1/1/1/1v4 or v1/3 today. And usually the other three folks on my team don't seem inclined to use power weapons or capture points (except when it is the point that imbalances in the enemy's favor) and so while I'm basically at the point of just going for challenges, I can't complete one of them because my teams can't seem to hold down a second point. 5 games, I have gotten 3 kills with advantage.

At this point I think Crucible needs tool tips to explain how to play the game and more reasonable balancing mechanics. Such as the fact that you don't need 3 people in a point to capture it. /frustration

If anyone wants to play on PC, I'm happy to be in a much better mood than I have been.

Other than that, I've actually been quite enjoying Destiny 2. Masterwork Armor has drained me of cores and I opened probably about 80 engrams yesterday in search of that goal. But I can now better balance my classes as 3/5/7 (I think this is my favorite overall) and look however I want while doing it. All of my non-Crucible endeavors have been going well. I finally got my Titan to an even 335. Now if only I could get Warlock boots and a Hunter Cloak from the PowGrams.

As to the accusation that I play Crucible strategically: I make no apologies.
