Someone correct me if I am wrong, but you get more initial damage with ER, but lose firefly, so better to have more ammo and land precision shots in PVE....right?

Always run field scout in PvE.

I've seen it drop in my last 3 VoGs. Just not for me. I miss fusion rifles. Plan C used to be my baby, my first exotic drop, and my first exotic to 300. Now I can't recall the last time I used them .

I can try for 10:00 central if you can keep a spot open for me.

That's why I own an XBOX NONE, and I'm starting to feel the same way about The Taken King. The interview really puts new meaning to The "Taken" King. Perhaps Bungie considers themselves the king of taking not only my time, but now my money, too.

1.2.0.4 - The one about Passage Coins and Demo weapons

This update to Destiny makes two small adjustments to the way Passage Coins are distributed in Trials of Osiris and how weapons behave as players migrate from the Destiny Demo to the full version of the game. Pardon our dust!

Weapons
Adjusted the 402 Attack Rating for weapons acquired in the Destiny Demo down to the proper value of 365

Trials of Osiris
Removed Passage Coins from the Lighthouse reward chest
Added a chance for Passage Coins to be awarded after match losses

I already had my mind made up that I was going to pass on the expansion before the interview. I couldn't care less about the emotes so the way they're pricing it doesn't bother me. I just don't know how much more grinding I can do in this game.

I'm only doing raid night going forward because I really enjoy the guys I raid with. That is, if we can find a replacement for Adam. Less and less folks care about raiding lately. It was already getting challenging to fill the empty spots each week. Now we have another to fill.

No no no no no no no. Use hand cannon ammo armor to boost your reserve ammo. You're losing a ton of free damage without explosive rounds.

Try it out. You'll still proc firefly all the time.

I hardly use it anymore, but it was my understanding that explosive rounds stopped firefly half the time?

It's not so much the emotes really but the principle behind locking content in favor of the more expensive option. I'll still raid with you guys as I still enjoy that part of it, and chances are I'll get myself sucked back into the game eventually as I hear the game going off and on throughout the day now that my kids are on summer vacation. Plus I like helping my son out with stuff so I won't be able to completely ignore the game.

Basically you get bonus 33% damage when hitting red bar enemies non critical. Everything else is same damage.

I don't have a problem with it per se. That's how many companies do business these days. People buy it so they continue to do so.

I have more of a problem with paying for HoW which is essentially four rooms and nothing else. A couple missions built into existing missions that cost them nothing. That "expansion" was a cash grab to the Nth degree.

That's true, can't disagree there, but it's just me really as I try to not support that practice as a consumer. I shouldn't really be griping about it since I won't be picking up the CE anyway (if I get TTK at all), but the principle behind just strikes the wrong chord.

Just think of this as a mmorpg where you don't have to pay a monthly fee

My scout with explosive vs my non-explosive scout (both legendary, same level and same character) is doing about the same damage described in the article. Explosive essentially drops red-bar enemies sooner, non-crit, but at the same time it is also dealing collateral damage which is effective on red-bar groups.

As long as my friends play Destiny, I'll play Destiny.

HoW was what, $20? One blu-ray? For the hours I've spent on it? Same for TTK if I get it . Forty dollars isn't a deal breaker to me as long as its fun with a group of folks.

So I could care less about Luke Smith, Red Bull, emotes, etc. Is my crew playing it? Yes. Is it fun playing with them? Yes. Then I'll get it.

It's 2015. If you don't want it, don't buy it.

It was constructive criticism. I wasn't trying to put the guy down.

My version was the long-winded way of saying I'm not buying it.

He was fired up about it. Side note: the Fatebringer is awesome for the lamps in Crota. Destroys packs of thrall.
