Keep talking shit. “O” the Rosy Finch Boyz, LLC is coming for all you jokers.

Jesus this is rigoddamndiculous. What the draft definitely needed was more bullshit talking up these kids like they’re already kobe, magic, duncan and whatever other ridiculous comparisons that video made

This is still going on? I changed the channel what seems like forever ago to try to avoid it. How many players are doing this debutante thing anyway?

I think it’s just a clip of a lecture from an animal husbandry class at a&m

I vote for the K party here

he had to throw lot of pitches that inning, how big is the drop-off from him to whatever else they've got available in the pen?

Merton Hanks vs Scott Derry

I didn’t see, is draymond not playing or what?

Looking at it over and over in slow mo, it sure looks like green sees he got dunked on and then turns back to look at harden and moves his hand directly on to hardens face to shove him to the ground. It looks to me like his hand was moving naturally, and then when he turns back it changes direction to end up on harden’s face. Whether or not he had the time to process the fact he was getting dunked on and adjust to make the retaliatory face shove or not, the most charitable interpretation is that he was planning to grab harden’s face and shove him down from the start. In either case it sure seems intentional. That said, it was clearly dirty but probably not worth mentioning too much beyond the obvious “he’s a dirty bitch” statement. Didn’t seem like harden got too bent out of shape about it.

Yeah, if you want to do it this week, I’d say try to get it done early. I played this afternoon and there were tons of people doing EP. I found an instance with other 4 other random players pretty quickly. We made it to level 3 and then two people joined my fire team and we got to level 4 a few times. I think I was geared up to power level maybe 352-353, had to have that specific weapon equipped because I was also doing the sleeper quest. At this point, 3-4 players around 350-360 should be able to get through round 1 without much trouble, and round 2 actually seemed easier than round 1 to me. Round 3 felt like a definite step up though. Its actually pretty fun if you get a group of decent people together. I mean we had no hope of getting to level 6 or 7 but eventually it should be doable. In the meantime 5-6 players with swords playing whack a mole smashing the knights as they appear is pretty funny. Apparently the reward for this week is just the masterwork version of the scout rifle from last week so that may or may not help with your desire to die. But I guess it seems like the end of the quest is probably the new exotic Polaris lance scout so I suppose i’d do it sooner or later no matter what. Also apparently you can do the nascent Dawn quests all the way through to the current one in the same week. So for example, if you never finished step 1/5, you can do it, step 2 and step 3 all this week. So it will still be available next week and beyond and won’t prevent you from doing step 4 next week if you don’t do it now.

well I guess we can sort of agree on some of that parts, anyway

It does ramp up in difficulty, it's just that the starting point is pretty fucking high on the difficulty/power curve already. I have only managed to get past round 1 a few times with randoms, and round 2 is definitely harder. I see why they did it, they were tired of people bitching about burning through the content, so they slowed down progression (fewer sources of powerful engrams) and made this activity scaled for very high power level players. Kind of a lazy solution to the problem, I think, but at least I understand why. I think it won't be as much of an issue as more people get to higher power levels. The more annoying issue that won't change without a fix from bungie is the stupid matchmaking, where a fireteam of 3 spawning in to an instance pretty much guarantees that only one or two other players will randomly spawn in, and since there's no way to do 6-man patrols, the crowdsourced solution is to go in and spam random people asking them to invite your friends (and then sometimes to leave afterward, especially if they are lower light). In some cases, people are apparently asking blueberries to invite their friends to get more people into the instance and then getting them to make one of their people the fireteam leader (hey, just promote so-and-so, they can send the other invite, so you don't have to type it in), at which point they kick the poor blueberry to make room for more of their friends. when your matchmaking/fireteam setup encourages that kind of behavior, you dun goofed. Of course, the bungie solution would probably just be to disable messaging people not in your friends list.

Yeah, the Osiris stuff was not great. They missed an opportunity with the procedurally generated stuff, it really could have been much better than it ended up being. I enjoyed the warmind stuff more for sure. but as bungie says, the friendgame is the real endgame.

I would add that the weekly clan XP milestone is currently bugged. The engrams drop using the soft cap rules if you decrypt them now (basically as if they were a regular legendary engram). Bungie’s workaround is that you complete the clan XP milestone, but leave the reward uncollected. At reset, it will auto decrypt to the proper powerful reward light level and the items will be in your inventory. The last I read, they were hoping to have that fixed in the next few weeks.

I do like your title better though

I think everyone agrees that dicko is a badass who will do great in the nfl, but do we really think that “NFL coaching” is gonna make much of a difference for the guy? maybe coaching for his special teams bros I guess.

Man, I still can’t believe we lost to you guys and that coach. And that people actually wanted to keep Charlie afterwards. Did Kansas fans think the program had turned a corner at that point or what? I’ve tried hard to block the memories from that time.

Yeah, it is pretty good so far. The real test will be how people feel about it a month from now. The progression of light level seems like it’s a little wonky to me. For example, the heroic strikes are 350 recommended light, but are dropping rewards at 340. Seems dumb to have stuff drop lower than the light level for an activity. I get that they wanted to slow down progression to max light, but just make things drop above your light but only by 1-2 points or something. As it stands it seems like they took the existing issue of people not having anything to play for once they did their weekly milestone stuff and made it even worse (since all of the clan engrams are no longer powerful engrams, just regular ass legendaries that drop below your light level). Also a bit frustrating that it’s a good thing that they are ALMOST back to as good as things were at the end of D1. Some things are obviously better, but there were just so many puzzling self-destructive design choices. This expansion definitely seems to be an improvement though. Hope they keep making progress.

I’m of the opinion that we should be able to tackle more than one problem at a time.

Got mine downloaded, I’ll give it a shot when they finish the server maintenance or whatever. It will be interesting to see how the game is after being gone for a few of these incremental updates. I wanted to play some 6v6 banner, but just never got around to it, too busy with god of war. But since I finished that one and far cry 5, it’s a good time to check back in with destiny.

Has anybody checked on drake?

There’s also a whole skill tree of unarmed combat with block/parry and shield attack/kick/punch skills, and a whole skill tree of the spartan rage mode. There’s also at least one whole extra combat style that you acquire further into the game that I won’t spoil here. Basically if you think there’s no depth to the combat, you’re spamming cheese moves and playing with the difficulty too low.
