Anyone able to accept a arfcom clan request?  I used the link in the OP.

Yes

To be fair, I left to help out a friend.  Which, in hindsight, was stupid.

Are you in the Xbox clan or PC clan? Because the answer is yes to both.

I'll rephrase - Did you join arfcom or salt works?

ETA - Found it. IM me your discord info and I'll send you an invite.

Yeah I found it.

Is there an Xbox discord, or a general arfcom discord channel for D2?

So next Saturday I have the house to myself for a good portion of the day, starting in the morning.  I would love to do a Raid or Dungeon. Last Raid I did was Leviathan, when it first came out. Currently a 1579 light Titan.  Would love to join a group who is willing to teach/be patient.  

Heck, would love to go through a GM Nightfall/Master Ketchcrash too.

Anyone up to the challenge?

Next Saturday as in the 29th? I have to work the morning shift that day, but will be off work by 1330 MST. I'm on RDO's for the next two days after I get off work tonight, so if you are around I can help with Duality, Pit, or GoA.

Don't forget to add us so you can see when we are online and drop into our party chats.

Bumping this to keep it from falling into the archives.  We're just over a month out from Lightfall.

I have not played any this season.  I haven't logged in since like October.  I'm feeling kinda blase about Destiny these days.  I won't say I'm done with the game, I preordered Lightfall, but at this point I don't know how much more I'm really gonna play.

I checked out the loot for this season and that kinda sealed the deal for me.

Most of the Ikelos weapons and Seraph weapons have returned...again.

Rose is a thing now I guess.  But I already have several well rolled hand cannons for PVP, I don't need another one.  The Trials hand cannon as well, another reskin, another 140, pass.

Disparity, the pulse rifle, is Go Figure/Blast Furnace from Forsaken and Black Armory.

Destiny has always been about more of the same since day one, barring a few big DLCs like Taken King and Forsaken.  I was okay with that for a long time, but it doesn't really trip my trigger anymore.

ETA - Also, what was up with the API being broken for like two months?  Wtf?  I wouldn't even want to play this game without DIM.  I see it's back up now but damn.

Pour one out for Commander Zavala. Lance Reddick passed away today.

Most of us, and we see you online in the clan list, but have never heard anything from you about it.

You three are the windows/steam or whatever guys right?

Yeah. I also have PC but not up to Lightfall on it. I know Crossplay is a thing, so if you have Discord we can get you an invite to that also.

Invite sent.

Just out of curiosity when was the last time you played?

Also you have been accepted.

Most of us that are in the clan and still playing are xbox.

Was wondering what happened to you

That's understandable.

I haven't played since April 30. Destiny at its core is the same fucking thing over and over, and for the longest I was okay with that because everything else around the same old shit was pretty good. The crucible was fun, the weapons were cool, exotics were unique, the art and music is always bangin', etc.

I think I finally got tired of doing the same thing over and over though. I also think that Bungie doesn't really know what they want this game to be or what it really is. I think the ten year plan for Destiny was a little optimistic, to me it feels like the game ran out of gas at the 7-8 year mark which is understandable I think. Coming up with new stuff isn't easy.

I don't really know what to think or say about the layoffs at Bungie. If what they're saying is true, about the layoffs being due to underwhelming preorders of the Final Shape and low player population, um, man, I dunno.

I'm the world's biggest proponent about not preordering shit, that we as a community need to stop encouraging these half baked releases so many developers and publishers are all about these days. That said, and I don't know who all got laid off at Bungie, but I can't believe that the dudes that got the axe for the most part were directly responsible for the current state of the game and the lack of interest in the Final Shape. Reading on Twitter it seems like a lot of lower level guys, like art direction people, animation, music and QA staff were laid off.

Like most of these corporate af things, shot callers well above the grunts were the ones that made the decisions that led them to this point, and I'd bet dollars to donuts most of those managers and directors are probably gonna survive this. The way Bungie did this is kinda cringy too, they laid most of those guys off on 30 Oct., which means they get like one day of health insurance coverage before going on Cobra on 1 Nov., they also relinquished Sony stock options they had by being terminated.

Not sure how I feel about the whole situation tbh. I'll just say that I think I've got everything I really wanted out of Destiny at this point. I wasn't super interested in the Final Shape before all of this but I was gonna play it since I'm vested in the series and wanted to see the conclusion. Now, my limited interest is gone. I'm good.
