        49?!?! Holy shit man. Bank. Those. Motes. -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 09:38
        
        Don’t be that guy! I lost 35 in a game last night, too. -- (edited) - David Oct 12, 08:44 1
        
        I had a game last night where I lost exactly 3, SEVEN times. It was Scorn. - Spawn Oct 12, 08:57
        
        heh. We finally had a guy lose zero motes and bank over 100 (IIRC). Got some milestone for that. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 08:42
        
        I was done for the night until I realized I unlocked Power Reach. So I jumped back into Gambit to try it out. Already awesome against the monsters. - Spawn Oct 12, 08:24 4
        
        I had consecutive triple kills while invading last night. - David Oct 12, 08:26 3
        
        Hmm. "Finders increase the chance of that ammo type dropping, while Scavengers increase the ammo gained by the drops themselves." -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 09:16
        
        Nice. My Warlock helms do the increase, as well. My Colony loves it. Yes, I still run the old crutch. If I can't have Gjallarhorn, I will have Colony. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 08:32 1

        I am still at 547. At the end of the night, the slot where I have a 552 gun got a 554. *So* annoying. The other drop I got was a 550 Go Figure which I - Spawn Oct 12, 08:19 1
        
        521 is my max now. -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 08:20
        
        It's weird that I'm actively enjoying strikes again. -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 08:17 5
        
        I fully enjoy every part of the game, except crucible. And even that is not bad but I would rather be playing Gambit. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 08:20 4
        
        I just want to get some good guns for Crucible. I don't love any of my primaries, so I went into my Collections and pulled out a Time-Worn Spire. - Shaun Oct 12, 08:24 3
        
        No, I am fine with my Go Figure and Misfit, I just have never really been that big a fan of Crucible. IB was the only time I was excited for it. - Spawn Oct 12, 08:30 2
        
        I have both of those guns. You like them? - JaxSean Oct 12, 08:37 1
        
        Misfit is the greatest non-exotic that has ever happened to me. If you get the right set-up on Go Figure it is lethal. - Spawn Oct 12, 08:58
      - Also how's this for a productive evening? -- (link) - Shaun Oct 12, 08:14 [Backboard] 2
        
        Very nice! I think I am at about a dozen exotics, so far. Tangent: I love that if you infuse an item into the same item it just takes glimmer. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 08:16 1
        
        Good to know. -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 08:18
      - I haven't looked it up yet, but how do you even get the next seeds? -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 08:13 3
        
        I finally went back to the Blind Well thingee and the seed thing dropped. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 08:14 2
        
        Just checked. Blind Well Tier 2 or higher, Last Wish (defeat Kalli), Oracle bounty. -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 08:17 1
        
        Yeah, the Oracle offering bounty basically means you can unlock two supers via the blind well. -- nm - David Oct 12, 08:28
    - Yeah. Time for groiny and tru to jump back in. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 12, 08:09 1
