I would say the challenge is more for getting high score rather than go hide in a corner mode. Hopefully the 8 new bosses w/o Skolas level hard will be interesting.

Basically, I like Destiny when I get to play Destiny. Hiding in a corner because two hits from the invincible always spams never reloads boss is not playing Destiny...

Each piece will mean something to you, and you can use it. Buying a magazine is just filling your house with shit.

He's pretty correct. This is coming from a guy with around 20 banker's boxes full of magazines I love but never will read again.

These days I will gladly buy a vinyl album over a cd. You get a kicka$$ tangible piece to hold in your hand and most companies will give you a digital download code also. It's a best of both worlds thing. Still though, vinyl takes up a ton of room and can get extremely heavy.

Honestly if the update was JUST that change I would see it as a positive.

So true. Although it was fun to accidentally forget about going in the airlock and then do a mad rush to see if you would beat the scoreboard!

...

Funny story, though: The first time I ran Skolas I actually did the whole fight a level below max, so I was double-underleveled. Only, I didn't know it while it was happening...

On my group's first attempt, we experimented with some new method that had recently become known. What that method was, I don't remember, but it didn't go well. So much so that we immediately abandoned it and wiped to start the round over, deciding to go by the book the next time.

While sitting in the airlock before making our second attempt, we were waiting for our supers to be ready before going in. Someone in the group suggested that we all equip our highest-intellect gear to get ready faster, and... I think you can see where this is going. My highest-intellect gear put me back a level, and I forgot to switch it back before going in.

Now, throughout the whole fight I felt like I was dying VERY quickly. I mean, it was to the point that if I started getting hit and was NOT expecting it beforehand, I usually didn't have time to react before I was dead. I felt like I'd only survive attacks if I saw them coming and started moving out of the way ahead of time. One direct hit from Skolas would often kill me outright. Being a Sunsinger helped a little but that only saves you once every few minutes, you know? I said something about how insane the difficulty seemed the first few times, but after a while it was happening so often that I felt like a broken record, and I know I have a tendency to complain pretty vocally anyway, so I just shut up to avoid my teammates hating me. Plus they weren't dying nearly as much, so I thought maybe I was just really bad at this fight. And on top of all that. I KNEW we were SUPPOSED to be underleveled, so it made sense to me that I was dying more quickly than normal. I had sort of been expecting it to be hard, so it just didn't occur to me that something was actually wrong, you know?

Of course, after it was all over I realized what had been going on. I was a little annoyed, but mostly just proud that we'd gotten the mechanics down so well that we were able to get through on only our second try, despite my character being made of tissue paper.

Getting the same exact objective for the second and third sections of each round just seems lazy.

I never really understood why it's like that TBH.

In general, music memorabilia isn't worth anything unless it is official and/or high quality. Magazine posters are neither.

Here's my wall:

It is about 4 feet tall, and was an advertisement that fell off the outside of a building in Hollywood. So I picked it up. I love it.

Internet backhands for everyone!

I'm very excited about it, though. Variks is my homeboy and I'm certain he will hook me up with teh hawtness first.

I'm really hoping I can continue trying to get the HoW exotics I missed from last time.
