The next time you're struggling with Crota hard just remember, a group beat it in nine and a half minutes. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 10, 13:02 29
- i tried to run the sword as a level 33 hunter the other day. i kept messing it up, got so close a few times, had a few glitchy things happen as well - Truman Jun 10, 13:16 27
  - *watches as someone's rocket sails over Crota's head* - groiny Jun 10, 13:17 26
    - heh. Those running the sword also need it make sure to be clear when it is time to launch. - Spawn Jun 10, 13:19 25
      - would rather have them go too early than too late. - groiny Jun 10, 13:21 24
        
        I can see where running it, getting the timing for saying it can be hard. - Spawn Jun 10, 13:23 23
        
        until you actually run it, you have no idea...... - groiny Jun 10, 13:26 22
        
        Remember when I used to say this and you argued otherwise? -- nm - David Jun 10, 13:37 16
        
        remember that time I got a 4th Gjallarhorn? - groiny Jun 10, 13:40 5
        
        Wouldn't you have rather gotten something useful? -- nm - David Jun 10, 13:41 4
        
        like a shard? - groiny Jun 10, 13:43 3
        
        I got three shards from Nightfalls. Totally useless. -- nm - David Jun 10, 13:45 1
        
        everything but light is useless now. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 13:46
        
        ... this destiny stuff is so strange. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 13:44
        
        nope -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 13:40 9
        
        Remember on Friday when you said tru's run would go faster than mine? - David Jun 10, 13:41 8
        
        I don't recall saying that. - groiny Jun 10, 13:42 7
        
        You're not very good at "needling". - David Jun 10, 13:44 6
        
        I dunno, we beat hard twice last week with me running it....... - groiny Jun 10, 13:45 5

        you were on, that was the night that I ran it twice with the Hunter.... - groiny Jun 10, 13:48 3

        we know. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 13:50
        
        Oh, for sure. I will not even try it, for the invisibility aspect alone. - Spawn Jun 10, 13:28 2
        
        the worst part is the whole hit-drop-punch thing. and the question of "did i go invisible again" that goes with it. - Truman Jun 10, 13:53 1
        
        which is why I take only 2 shots on the second run, and get out of dodge. - groiny Jun 10, 13:54
        
        especially with timing the kneel to invisibility bit. I was trying to get that worked out. - Truman Jun 10, 13:27 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 13:28
- the first 2 parts are a piece of cake. - groiny Jun 10, 13:06

Technically speaking, routers shouldn't wear out. But they're assembled as cheaply as possible & subject to heat stresses 24x7. - Beryllium Jun 10, 13:00 11
- maybe I'll try a new router, mine is almost 8 years old. my new laptop has loads of connectivity issues. any other ideas? - b. Jun 10, 13:16 7
  - WRT54GL, even the 8 year old one, is popular because you can completely replace the firmware with better code called openWRT - Beryllium Jun 10, 13:22 5
    - ah, I am unlikely to do that. I see ML rec'd this one a while back. it looks promising. (linked). allow me a dumb question? - b. Jun 10, 13:27 2
      - I bought that same one and set it up wirelessly. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 13:28 1
        
        great, thanks! I'll try your tip below before buying anything new, but I'll keep that one in mind (and in my amazon cart in case the price goes down) -- nm - b. Jun 10, 13:29
    - But a temporary fix for most issues is to go into the router settings and tell it to ignore your ISP's DNS and use google's DNS instead -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 10, 13:23 1
      - thank you! I will try that tonight. :) - -- nm - b. Jun 10, 13:27
  - I should maybe add that my frequently-used kindle tablet has infrequent/fewer issues. - b. Jun 10, 13:20
