Yeah. Didn't even get my shot at the sword as it disappeared both times right as I walked up on it. I may be on late tonight, just message oilfield if you see me on and I can run it if y'all are on.

Whenever I see "oilfieldAGGIE has joined a party" my first thought is, "Do I have any 'Win 5 [x crucible] matches' bounties? Yes? Oh, I'm hopping on that wagon."

Yeah we should do more crucible. At least there I don't have to worry about glitchy **** screwing me over.

We didn't have any glitches last night but we had two squeekers with some interesting strats on Crota.

Yeah, that's really all I've had time to do now, but crucible has always been my koolaid. I' like to screw around a little too much for PVE anyways

SUROS and finally an Armamentarium that's 36 light?

It's like Xursmas.

RIP Suros. It was awesome before the second nerf and god-tier before the first nerf.

So, I found these articles a fun read. They are discussing how Bungie brought in a behavrioral scientist to advise them on how to keep players playing Destiny. The second artcile is just the guy talking about general game design. I quoted where I thought in the end Destiny failed and we are seeing the drop off in Destiny players as a community.

quote:
A phenomenon, called "behavioral contrast," occurs in chimpanzees, among other species. A chimpanzee is doing a simple task such as pulling a lever and is being rewarded with pieces of lettuce, which they like to eat. After doing this for a while, one pull is rewarded with a grape, which they really love to eat. On the next pull, the chimp is given lettuce again and they get very upset, throwing the lettuce at the experimenter. They were perfectly happy with lettuce before, but the presentation of the grape creates new expectations and when those expectations aren't met, frustration and anger invariably results. The moral here is that reducing the level of reinforcement is a very punishing thing for your players and can act as an impetus for them to quit the game. It needs to be done carefully and gradually, or there may be an undesirable backlash. This applies even to temporary reductions, such as when killing orcs stops producing points but the player has not yet discovered that trolls can be killed instead. Sudden loss of reward is very aversive and should be avoided when possible.

Good find Tex.

On a side note, anyone else have a Destiny Spotify playlist, and what are you jamming to while running around shooting stuff?
Beau Holder

House and trance make fun Destiny additions.

Running around the moon while Hardwell is playing just seems right, somehow.

The head Bungie guy has a behavioral science history. Lots of interesting studies. Amazing how bad he let this game get in spots.

The raid boss being one big Shank.

Of course its way too early to pass impressions or know anything about the content, but the following is from the bungie web page, and there is actually no mention of a raid.

quote:
Expand your Destiny adventure with a wealth of weapons, armor, and gear to earn in new story missions, three new competitive multiplayer maps, and a new cooperative Strike. Expansion II introduces a new competitive elimination mode in the Crucible and an all-new arena activity The Prison of Elders. The Reef is open. Join the Awoken and hunt down the Fallen rising against us.
