BTW... thanks to TheHawkNY for running 2 NF with me, the RNGebbuz for blessing me, and those in the Sir Gjallie who ran the raid... and got me to 305 with multiple armour setups and weapons. Hopefully this week, I'll get the Crown of Tempests.....

Ummm daily unique users is a misleading statistic but Elo isn't?

Elo is simply the best we have, or at least I know of. It is kinda misleading but not a big deal imho. You can increase your ELO by playing with better players, but to what goal?

I just think a lot of statistics can be 'gamed' and Elo is probably more misleading than daily unique users, since I believe Microsoft has been using that metric for over a decade. The removal of this statistic will not dampen the rumours that the playerbase is dropping. We had it with Call of Duty over the leaderboard issue did we not? Haven't played since Ghosts. Increasing your Elo leads to a bigger e-penis!

Apparently the creators of destiny tracker don't care about the ocasional e-penis enlargements, but do care about their data being falsely used in arguments of the rahools salt emporium.
Their choice really.

Or they were asked to remove it by Bungievision, or they were worried about ad revenue as a result from this or DTG. All silly really.

Got a few minutes? 20ish?
This is what Bungie said about Season 2.... clearly they're listening.

Yeah, that's definitely a start, and there's some pretty rad looking stuff shown. Unfortunately most of what they talked about is cosmetic stuff from bright engrams, which isn't exactly at the top of most people's lists as far as what needs to be improved. The ornaments and having to unlock them based on completing a certain requirement is a good step, though. It sounds like they're going to adjust the token system, and hopefully that extends beyond just the Iron Banner as far as being able to direct purchase items from vendors goes. It's a step in the right direction if nothing else. All hail the live team!

Bungie released some info about security and bans www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/78pjb4/destiny_2_security/Source: www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46426We have seen lots of questions about bans being issued in the PC version of Destiny 2. To provide some information, we would like to share some facts. The following is true: Destiny 2 cannot automatically ban you, only Bungie can ban a player after a manual investigation Yesterday, we banned approximately 400 players on PC Bans were applied to players who were using tools that pose a threat to the shared ecosystem of the game We did not (and will not) issue any bans for the use of overlays or performance tools, including Discord, Xsplit, OBS, RTSS, etc. Information on using third-party applications can be found here: www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/46101 We are overturning 4 of the bans that were issued during the PC Beta We are committed to providing an experience that is fun and fair for the millions of players who have joined us in this community.

If that is correct, Reddit hugely overreacted (why am I even surprised these days I don't know)

Man, Io is just the worst Flashpoint. Most of the events are Taken Blight, and if there's anything farm-able on that planet, I haven't found it yet.

Most of the events are Taken Blight, and if there's anything farm-able on that planet, I haven't found it yet. I hate the Taken Blights, yet the fastest one I ever did was a Taken Blight, so I feel conflicted.....

I honestly like IO. Fun public events and the best armor set in the game. That taken blight event in the area where you dril into a warmind in story though, ouch. I don't even try to get that to heroic anymore. That bos is both strong and cheeses into and out of invul bubbles all the time.

Xur's in Io
Exotic Item Class Power Level Cost D.A.R.C.I., Sniper Rifle, 270 (265+5 Legendary Mod) x29 Legendary Shards (a "fun" weapon to have in PVE... but not very practical... it's the 2nd lowest rated exotic in the game as ber DIM) Knucklehead Radar, Hunter Helmet, 270 (265+5 Legendary Mod) x23 Legendary Shards (gives 3rd eye... not useful for PVE but very useful in PVP) Actium War Rig Titan Chest Armour, 270 (265+5 Legendary Mod), x23 Legendary Shards (replenishes auto rifle mag from the reserve at about 10% of the clip size every few seconds. Decent pickup) Eye of Another World, Warlock Helmet, 270 (265+5 Legendary Mod) x23 Legendary Shards (IMHO, one of the best Warlock helms regardless of subclass if you are a more passive player... if you're aggressive, use something else.... very good for PVP too)

TW@ Bungie..... lots of stuff you already knew www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/78zbvs/this_week_at_bungie_10262017/But the parts we really care about: Here’s a short list of updates we’re working on: (my emphasis on the ones that are new news and make me happy) New systems and rewards to give our most engaged players additional, optional pursuits. Better incentives for players who complete challenging Prestige activities. Better rewards and replay value for strikes, adventures, and Lost Sectors. Private matches for the competitive community (we are targeting early 2018). Crucible tuning like adjusted Supremacy scoring and better spawning rules. Better incentives for completing Crucible matches (and penalties for quitting competitive games). Continued improvements to Iron Banner and Faction Rallies, including uniqueness of rewards. Changes to make the mod economy more interesting and impactful. Ongoing improvements to Exotics, including adjustments to reduce instances of duplication. New ways to spend surplus currency and materials (looking at you Legendary Shards). An emote interface that allows players to equip Salty, Spicy Ramen, Six Shooter, and Flip Out all at the same time.
TIME TO BUY NEW DANCES B%%%HES!!!!! WHERE'S THAT CREDIT CARD!!! IMMABUY ME SOME BRIGHT ENGRAMS....... hey.... wait a sec.......

Oh... and the finally did it.... I've been waiting for it since launch and it finally did it.... The RNGeebuz finally blessed me with the best gun in the game: It just reaffirmed my belief... nay, my unshakable moral ethos... that the best way to game, is to game pantless and on a leather couch (don't be fooled by microfibre and its counterparts... leather is better) EDIT: it does look pretty awesome with the chrome ornament

It's my running joke about how the Hardlight was the worst gun in D1.... Supposidly now that Autorifles are good, that it is good (it has a 4 out of 5 rating on DIM) it's not bad... but out of sheer principle, I will never use it

It is not good though. It can be kinda useful in nightfall with the triple changing burn, but that is really it.

I've heard that because it is good, because it is an auto rifle, and since Auto rifles are good, the Hard Light is good. Not to say it's the best, or it's preferred, or anything like that.... just that it's better than it's D1 counter part

The comments on the Reddit thread for TWAB made me lose faith in humanity. Here's a group of people that spent a ton of time complaining about the lack of endgame and railing against microtransactions, and when Bungie gives a roadmap for the future, they ignore all of the parts about the endgame and get excited about the emote wheel, the entire purpose of which is to be able to sell more loot boxes. It's fucking pathetic. Bungie employees must be laughing at them right now.

To be fair, the emote wheel is a BFD. About damn time, I say.
