Destiny - 9/9/14 (PS3/PS4/X360/XB1)

8PM bro....RIP

They all say that. It's because Amazon's tracker has no way to know when the actual delivery is scheduled. Your UPS routes are generally pretty static though. Packages to my house usually come around 9:30.

Does anyone with a Ghost edition want to sell me their patch? The ghost is neat and all but I really didn't care to spend $50 more on a big-ass box and a bauble.

I'm getting the white PS4 bundle, anyone know if there's a way to gett the ghost edition without having to pay for the fucking game twice?

[Serra]

I would have said pay for it twice and then sell the stuff that comes with the limited edition, but at this point, I don't think you're going to find it anywhere.

Flashbang gimp, boo! What counts as ultra combatants though..

Surge got a major boost -- it was just movement speed prior, right?

Those changes to Assault Rifles are huge.. The damage one doesn't sound like a lot, but the accuracy is going to be painful. 25% less accurate?? No thanks! Pulse has no changes to recoil which sucks. The damage boost seems meh, but will need some testing. Scout fall into the same category but opposite. That damage reduction doesn't seem like a big deal, but we'll have to see how much of a change it is. Hand Canons though.. Those sound changes sound great. Greater magazine size, more damage.. I see potential! The change to fusion rifles might explain how common they were, but I wanna test them to see what reliability means..

PvP changes sound great -- especially the boost to rewards. Wasn't hard to hit cap on marks, but nice to see it'll be easier. Mark of the unbroken though.. that bounty is gonna be brutal. I think my best game was 12-0, so bleh.... Wish they'd go more into the skill rankings, but I'm gonna keep assuming it's tied to medal scores.

Removal of vanguard marks from patrol missions sucks. Does that mean the Crucible is now the only place to get marks? And if so, is it still 100 per week, or 100 per group per week.. Lowering the level to get bounties is good -- but it seems appropriate since people are reporting it feels like it takes twice as long to level as in the beta. Also seems like they caught onto the Cryptarch exploting..

This is the best note though:

Flawless Raider achievement cut, then un-cut, then cut, then un-cut, then declared immune to further cutting.

And again, SE ignores Drgs! Wait..

[The Blackrose]

Vanguard Marks are from bounties, if I recall correctly.

Also, assault rifles needed the kick in the teeth. PvP was filled with nothing but them on autopilot.

[Obsidian]

Hope they didn't turf Disciple's effect on Grenade cooldown too hard.

[Serra]

Ah, right, forgot about that. Also, looks like they added them to strikes, so gonna be lots of strike binging..

[Cutriss]

Vanguard Marks are from bounties, if I recall correctly.

Correct.

[Cail]

Just got the text. Mine has shipped :D

i,'ll be there finally

So they didn't say anything about pulse rifle recoil, but I'm watching some streams and it might not be as bad as I remember it being..

Edit: actually, I kinda take that back. I think they seem okay at close range, but once you start using them at mid-long range, it's still definitely noticeable..


I was also reminded, for those who don't know, if you get a patrol mission you don't want to do, press select (or whatever it is to pull up your ghost) and the button to go back into orbit lets you abandon it. I don't think the game actually tells you this and it's a useful bit of knowledge.

I wonder if I can buy the bundle, and get the ghost version and return the one that comes with the PS4 at a target or walmart w/o receipt to get at least store credit... hmm

[Serra]

The barcode probably won't scan properly. Not saying don't try, but don't expect the best luck. That said, Craigslist/Ebay are still options.

Pack-ins lately don't even have UPCs to scan. There's a graphic that usually just says "NOT FOR RESALE" on it.

My copy of Uncharted is like this, I would expect that this being an Activision game would make little difference.

Joystiq is doing new stuff on the moon, so if you don't want to be spoiled, ignore that link.

The bundle will have a disc in a card case (like other bundles). And the Ghost has a metal case, not sealed.
