So I'm constantly looking at DTR via my "Destiny Chromebook" that's always open while I'm playing (Xbox). I'm really on a good streak in my last 25, k/d which is usually around 1 is 1.3+, and I was 16-9 (this after that recent 4-19 debacle). This all solo as always. All quickplay.
I can never figure out why streaks like that happen, best I can figure is new expansion=lots of fresh meat for even a scrub like me.
But to the point DTR has ranking for everything, and I'm like #5300 in Valor score (around 1700). This seems odd to me, is it wrong, or have I really ground more than all but ~5k Destiny players at Valor??? Especially since I always solo, my score could easily be double if I ran a 4 stack like I'm sure many do, so in reality I'd be much higher than 5000 in terms of time spent. I dont grind THAT much, I grind PVE fully too (did 2 raids and EP and the entire Polaris Lance quest this week), etc etc.
Also, Xbox LFG is amazing for this game. I pity Playstation players. Having it IN THE CONSOLE is just a game changer. Of course LFG is still often a shitshow, but it's now a drastically more convenient one. Such a fundamentally great console OS idea for all games that I dont see a lot of people talk about.
Anyways I'm grinding toward resetting Valor so I can get the 4 powerful drops. Funny I'll willingly grind 3X as much something I can do solo as something I cant for the same loot.
My plan is to hit 385 this upcoming week so I can delete the game again (that's how I destiny, in spurts cus I feel bad about how much time it wastes). That and probably beat SoS. I went from 366 to 376 this week with only 2 full raids+milestones+EP, so it should be doable, the valor being an extra raids worth of drops factors in my planning.
