Since the game is free and most of us are on PS4, we should set up a tournament.

Thanks for the heads up. Downloaded it yesterday. I'm looking forward to playing it.

What time do you guys plan on doing this? If we're starting at Atheon, I might be able to help out. I can be on around 9:45/10 PM EST.

No problem man. I signed up too. I have it on PC, and it's pretty awesome. A little overwhelming, but it's really cool. I haven't put that much time into it, but there's clearly a ton of potential in the game. I always describe it as Halo meets Battlefield.

I want to run the Raid again really bad. Tried last Wednesday night, but we didn't have enough people. Anyone down for Sunday or Monday night? Normal or Hard mode, I don't care. PLEASE!!!

114 hours total

Damn, that sucks man. Sorry to hear that. I've been really excited about this game. I'm pretty sure I'm getting it for Christmas, so this isn't good.

Looks good. I like the old school feel.

Anyone hear about this? I don't know much about this shiz, so if someone could explain it to me, please do so. A driver update can improve performance by 19-29%? That seems like a lot! http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/2ocbov/amd_unveils_major_gpu_driver_update_catalyst_omega/ http://web.archive.org/web/20141205093642/http://www.techspot.com/news/59074-amd-unveils-major-gpu-driver-update-catalyst-omega.html

I read the article. It sounds like they're more durable/long lasting than I thought. This. This is exactly how I feel. The article definitely helped me relax a little about the wear and tear of SSD's. "The last victim fell at 1.2PB, which is barely a speck in the rear-view mirror for our remaining subjects. The 840 Pro and a second HyperX 3K have now reached two freaking petabytes of writes. To put that figure into perspective, the SSDs in my main desktop have logged less than two terabytes of writes over the past couple years. At this rate, it'll take me a thousand years to reach that total."

You need your own blog. I love reading everything you write.

Looking forward to your review. I've been thinking about getting some new headphones soon too. I like that price for starters, hopefully the quality is there.

Yeah, here's the old thread.

I'm going to give it a try this time around. I've missed out the first two chances.

Fixed that for you. It's not guaranteed you'll get something new, but yeah, better to hold off.

That's pretty cool. This is the first time I've heard about the Trials.

Thanks for posting. I'll read this tomorrow at work.

I'm in for sure. Really looking forward to this.

I've had the sword about 5 times now. It was fun at first, but now it just seems kind of empty. I kill the dude, take his sword, kill his buddies... but then what? It's just for fun, or is there a goal/reward tied in with it?

I read about this yesterday. It's definitely a welcome feature for Steam. I'm sure it will become popular with everyone who plays on PC uses Steam. Should be good.

My choice of words was wrong, I understand he wasn't driven away, and I shouldn't have put it that way. And, Leper, I didn't take offense to anything you said, sorry if it came off that way. I just miss having him around. I like reading viewpoints that are off the beaten path. He was certainly one who fit that description. I still talk with him a lot in e-mails, but I just miss seeing him around here. He was banned somehow, then he wasn't able to make posts even after being reinstated, so I think he just felt that he was pushed away. Anyway... any word on Sony getting hacked? I hope these shitheads don't fuck up the Dark Below on Tuesday.

Lee may have some theories that are out there, but he's genuinely a good person. I hate that he was run off of this site.

1.1 : The one about Exotics. And the Raid! Today's patch includes the long-awaited arrival of Exotics weapon buffs, additional acquisition paths for destination upgrade materials, along with additional changes to exotic gear node upgrading in preparation for the soon-to-be-released expansion, The Dark Below. We're also correcting issues induced by our more recent update to the Raid. Weapons Exotics Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel, and sound overpowered. At the same time, they are not supposed to break the balance of the game. We hope these weapons challenge the way players think about their loadouts. Exotics will be a constant work in-progress! General In preparation for the Dark Below, Exotic Armor and Weapons no longer require Ascendant Materials to upgrade The final upgrade node of all Exotic Gear will require an Exotic Shard Exotic Shards can be obtained by one of the following means: Dismantling unwanted Exotics Purchased from Xur for 7 Strange Coins Exotics now start at a higher base Attack value and have a narrowed upgrade range to compensate Thorn Projectiles now briefly highlight targets on impact Mark of the Devourer DoT (damage-over-time) upgrade increased against PvE enemy targets Reload Speed increased Magazine Size increased Ammo inventory size increased Stability and Weapon Handling increased Bad Juju Magazine Size increased to 8 bursts (was 5) Ammo inventory size increased String of Curses now also decreases the cooldown of your Super on kill Adjusted effects to not block first person reticle Hard Light Stability increased Perfect Balance upgrade replaced by Fitted Stock (increases maximum possible weapon Stability) Suros Regime Lowered total damage at the end of the mag on SUROS Regime upgrade to be more in line with the Glass Half Full perk on Legendary Auto Rifles Monte Carlo Stability increased Range slightly decreased Monte Carlo Method upgrade now also has a chance to fully charge melee ability on kill MIDA Multi-Tool MIDA rounds now have increased knockback against targets in both PvE and PvP Hawkmoon Send It upgrade (which was redundant) replaced by Speed Reload Red Death Rate of Fire increased slightly, but Burst Damage reduced to compensate Plan C Weapon Handling speed increased Player Speed increased while Plan C is in hand Pocket Infinity Speed Reload upgrade replaced by Extended Clip which allows the option to increase magazine size (5 bursts) Vex Mythoclast Attack Power increased to 323 (from 300) Base Damage increased, fixing bug we introduced in previous patch Enhanced Battery upgrade by Extended Mag (this change still allows for a significant upgrade to Magazine Size, but less than before) Invective Reload Speed increased significantly, auto fires slightly slower Ice Breaker Send It upgrade replaced by Lightweight (which was redundant as Icebreaker already had maximum range) New effects for enemies killed by Ice Breaker upgrade Patience and Time Snapshot upgrade replaced by Custom Optics (provides a lower zoom option) Super Good Advice Stability increased Truth Magazine Size increased to 3 (was 1) Activities Raid Fixed an issue we introduced in a previous patch, in which Atheon did not correctly send 3 players through the time gates Fixed an exploit where the Templar could be forced off its platform Daily Heroic Story Destination Materials now drop from completing the Daily Heroic Bounties Removed the ‘Relic Hunter’ Bounty Destination Materials now drop from completing the Daily Patrol Bounty Vendors Reduced Cryptarch reputation gain from Engrams, but reputation reward packages now have an increased chance for Legendary Engrams Players will now be able to use Vanguard Marks and Crucible Marks to purchase Spinmetal, Relic Iron, Spirit Bloom, and Helium Filaments from the Vanguard and Crucible Quartermasters in the Tower Xur now sells a new material, Exotic Shards, to upgrade the final node of Exotics for 7 Strange Coins Faction Class Items (ex: FWC Cloak, Dead Orbit Mark, etc.) are now replaced by Faction Emblems in the rank-up reward packages from Faction Vendors Technical Networking fixes, which should reduce the instance of the Bee family of KTOs Fixed an issue in which using Xbox One party chat induced a slower frame rate
