Yes, there is a lot of negitive publicity. Some of these people are just pessimistic to begin with, but I think the rest is because we all want to LOVE this awesome game... that sometimes, isn't as awesome as we expect. That said, Bungie is an awesome developer. And instead of giving their fans the proverbial middle finger, they are listening and fixing/tweaking/refining things one step at a time. They've made a sandbox for us. That sandbox is best enjoyed with friends. As monotonous and repetitive as some aspects of the game might be (hours of pvp control, hours of patrolling missions, hours of completing the same bounties over and over again, hours of the same several vanguard strikes), I find it is actually a lot more fun to do this with clanmates. I've enjoyed even the most boring moments of the game, because I'm chatting it up with clanmates doing the same thing. I'm thankful that Bungie made a game where we can all connect so easily. And I'm thankful that I can go to Venus any frelling time I want, and kill every frelling hobgoblin and frelling minotaur I see, with great frelling delight! Don't think I need to extrapolate on that last point. :)

I'll kick us off. Last night, N-Man, Cygnus and myself were doing the nightfall (which is incredibly easy this week, by the way. I took a void sniper and solar rocket launcher for the shanks/wizards) and I managed to land the Universal Remote at the end of it! I was excited as heck. Also, it was my first time completing the Nightfall so even more huzzahs! Thanks N and Cygy for the help. Thank you, Sepiks, for the gun!
