Idk, I def don't want heroic Menagerie to have MM given that it's a team wipe if someone gets down. That I understand being friends or LFG for.
Are the 950 Nightfalls really that hardcore that you need a fireteam who talk to each other? Because the 920 one is challenging but not that hard with matchmaking.
I just posted this in the Verge thread but I thought it might fit in here:
On raid matchmaking:
Adding matchmaking to the basic nightfall has been a long requested feature and makes sense because the Adept nightfall mechanics are not that different from the regular strike's mechanics.
Raids, however, are mechanically different from strikes in that your progression through the raid is gated by how well you verbally communicate.
Once you progress past a certain power level, the verbal communication can take a back seat to simply brute forcing through the raid mechanics, but the ability to verbally communicate is *always* there.
I've seen a few people suggest that Bungie should add a ping system to their raids, but that would be a mistake: The ping system was created to add a layer of cooperation atop the pretty chaotic state of nature found in battle royales and would therefore feel out of place.
Adding a ping system to the Hero nightfall *would* make sense—I'd love to ping my teammate from a few days ago and tell him that in the nightfall we are playing incoming void damage does a helluva lot more damage so stop standing in the purple flames plz.
Guided games should really be the natural go-between for those who want to raid and yet feel like they can't because there are too many assholes in their way.
It was a step in the right direction but the incentives for both players and sherpas were misaligned. I'd like to write another lengthy post about how they could improve guided games, but I'll save it for when we are all burnt out on Shadowkeep.
I hope that when Luke Smith talks about improving the MMO aspects of Destiny, helping people create lasting raid teams should be of utmost importance.
Hell, finding a good raid team is what turned me into a hardcore player and gave me a really good clan.
Make the main thing the main thing, Bungie.

That's not uncommon. Heroic menagerie, Trials when it was a thing, etc
Just save this. Not sure if u can see which mod u already unlocked in-game though...
is anyone aware as to what the situation with this game is on PS4, regarding the free to play version and the PS+ requirement? I remember hearing that the free to play version required plus for online play, but I don't know if that has been changed. Also if there is no PS+ requirement would buying the expansions put the PS+ requirements back into effect?
They can't show you all the possible rolls. You should be glad, the rolls shown in the pass suck.
What did you get?
You will get access to more drops later when you unlock later stages of the season pass.
The MG got hip-fire grip and firmly planted, the AR has dynamic sway reduction and underdog. Pretty much worthless compared to stuff i've got.
I got lucky and got one with Rifled Barrel/Accurized Rounds/Snapshot/QuickDraw right after you posted this. I guess if you hit the 100K threshold last season it'll eventually drop for you.
AKA the ones that you'd actually want to do.
This "nightfall matchmaking" is kind of a sham since nightfalls are not really nightfalls anymore anyway. The lower levels are practically ordinary strikes.
Plus 3 times through the longass ordeal to get a tier 1 reward. Probably skipping it this week donaldtrumpsad!.jpeg
I was close to getting out of Heroic III in solo comp, then I got crushed 4 games straight. I just want this god damn SMG so I can go back to PVE stuff.
Someone smarter than me throw me a bone; for optimal DPS, how much am I losing between using Divinity or using Izanagis? Doing a raid last night a random told me Divinity adds 25% crit damage for allies, but I suppose that means it's only worth running Divinity with five other non-Divinity players?
Gratz! I have 1.5k glory to go, solo queue is awesome.
Yeh. There are still quite a few trash perks in the game. I would trash that too.
Good roll gratz, I hope this helps pvp click for you.
Didn't notice but if it is from Earth's POV, the Moon indeed does not seem to rotate as it is tidally locked.
The game (and a lot of loot games) has too much utterly useless stuff.
Bad perks should be buffed or replaced with more useful ones. Situational is not bad necessarily but too many are not even situational, just way too marginal.
And speaking of equipment in general, I don't get why the game has to have blue equipment, no one uses it and even new characters get purple stuff fast enough. Should be replaced with gunsmith parts or other resources.
Menagerie can get you a guaranteed one quickly as long as you have the runes. Otherwise you can get the one from black armor pretty easily.
Great for PvP loadouts where you know you'll often need to swap to that weapon in panicky situations. For example, a shotgun when you suddenly round a corner right into an enemy
...basically useless for me, i don't have nearly fast enough reflexes anymore to react stuff like that. With some luck, i can get off one melee but that's a big if.
Yes, it's one of the best PvP perks in the game. It provides a fast draw time and an ADS speed similar to Snapshot.
Yes, you do. It's not useless for anyone, including you. You can get your weapon out faster and you can aim down sights faster. That means you can shoot your targets faster. That will win you gun fights.
its not really something you can see that much. you just have to trust it lol.
although i can tell snapshot on snipers.
you want qd on snipers and shotguns. Everything else, meh.
so, 4 pinnacle rewards for tromping around quickplay a bit in iron banana. when theres essentially no other pinnacle rewards available outside the raid (NF but I'm not 950). i'm here for it.
people get mad when ib doesnt have s-tier rewards so bungie appeases them. but lets be honest, ib is not difficult nor is it really a pinnacle activity. but i'm all for it.

Just ran the Festering Core or whatever the new Strike is called. Really fantastic stuff and Bungie has shown a great knack with Destiny in making places that feel very alien and "other". The sci-fi geek in me is loving this expansion because of stuff like this and the Darkness Pyramid. I like it a lot better than the LotR inspired Dreaming City even though that was also beautiful.
a lot of this art is so fantastic. festering core was like a movie with that gigantic foreboding castle looming.
that said it's just nostalgia talking but D1 earth will always win for me. D1 was much sparser, I'm not as big on the lush aesthetic they use now. But Dreaming City/Last Wish art is insanely good.
Is Thunderlord exotic any good? Just got it dropped but enjoying riskrunner conductor killing at the minute.
How long did it take, 30 minutes or so?
One of the best heavy weapons in the game, easily.
Quickdraw also works nicely for pairing with heavy hitting, slow firing weapons like Eriana's Vow or any Bow. Hit once with EV or a Bow and then clean up with your Quickdraw primary.
