Bet I'm starfox070 on Xbox one always down to run something

That Xbox list is suspect for the time being. I'm the only one that's usually on there playing destiny these days and I'm taking the week off to finish batman.

Faint - he's on but he will sign off on you when you send him an invite or will play one game of trials then go to the gas station for batteries and never return.
Puffishurr - dude got married and disappeared. We lost him to the dark side.
Memphis - he just sits in orbit or is on crunchyroll
Ace - he's playing Fifa or elder scrolls all day and won't let you call him by his real name but he calls my white friend "Brown."
Shotta - still doing laundry
Jules - he will organize game play with a group then never show up. King of "what had happened was..."

#shotsfired

SO TRUE. CRUNCHYROLL IS MY ****.

LIST IS ACCURATE. YOU FORGOT TO ADD WIGGLES IN THERE AS WELL.

 

[bigj505]

Yea we got wiggles and Edgar too. They've been MIA too.

 

[Ube]

Those exotic swords
I need them in my life.

 

[Bad Religion]

Servers must be getting crushed. Ive been stuck at 5GBs for around an hour.

Year One Perks

We have revisted all of these Year One stat perks and reduced the amount they buff your weapon stat to re-normalize against Year Two weapon lethality and reinforce specialization so players are making meaningful trade-offs on weapons.

To compensate for the weaker stat perks from launch weapons, we added some new stat perks (introduced in House of Wolves) that provided a significant increase to a stat in exchange for a reduction in other stats. This allows players to be able to spike a stat that reinforces their specialized play style, but at a cost.

[wrightone86]

Titans just trying to catch up to Warlocks in the master race discussion 

The Ram helmet not moving to Year 2 Exotics AND taking a reduction in armor increase 

 

 

[wrightone86]

I will say though....glad to see my Universal Remote getting some love as well. Looks like it is the best shotgun out....for now. Along with all the increased range and aimed down sights range perk, it also received a +20 base range buff as well. 

 

[wrightone86]

Damn Reddit has some good posts...

Arc blade finally can spawn up to 6 orbs. Used to be so crazy to see like 4 kills for 2 orbs, lol

Blink Strike is Arc damage now finally

They mentioned blink in reference to the Blade dancer hunters, but it was not listed under Voidwalker for Warlocks; does this mean Warlocks have the old blink and only Hunters got the nerf? 

Arc bolt damage got nerfed

Shotguns got toasted, smh

Field Scout and other old weapon perks for destroyed too, smh

 

[wrightone86]

Saying we might can reforge exotics?! 

 

That new Bungie Armory looks 

They are also claiming that Super Black has been added back into the loot table too! Hopefully it is true.
