So, recently as a good amount of us have been enduring the darkness and pushing it back, we've also been collection some engrams. And, the Cryptarch as the silly fellow he is never really gave up Legendary items. Thanks to Bungie hearing the plea of us guardians, here's their response to this issue. "Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly. Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items" That means our blue skinned friend won't be trolling us all for a while... Hopefully. In other news, we also have some changes to Vanguard Strikes. These will now give us Legendary/Rare Items or Engrams aside from the normal rewards you'd recieve. We also get to see certain materials such as "Ascendant Materials" in general become Legendary to match what they are normally associated with. NOTE: All Legendary Engrams will be turned to Rare Engrams when the patch rolls out. Here's what Bungie had to say about this - "Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already..." Praise the Traveller! Source: http://www.bungie.net/7_102-Patch-Preview/en/News/News?aid=12202 View full article

It says next week, but I'm not sure if it's literally this week that's almost here.

I'm unsure as to why a good amount of members have been acquiring issues, especially so close to one another... But, I best not make any conspiracy theories. Best of luck getting the issue resolved, Katelyn. We all have many hopes of your return in a matter of time. Take it easy.

The funny thing is.... A long long time ago in the year of 2011, a few friends and I thought - "What if there was a 'The Smart Marine' at the time?" At that point I literally made another account to see how everyone would react. Never, ever used it again.

I think the money they made is well deserved. They can take all my money honestly, because once you reach level 20 there isn't much left but free roaming, crucible, the vanguard strikes, and.... Well, lots of other amazing things to do. The community of gamers I've met so far are nice people, and it's all oriented around team work. I love it.

Seems to be the time where we members and moderators team up as one to keep these spambots off our turf. I'll be sure to keep an eye out, and if I see one of my posts stolen to any degree - It will be the day we fight for our ancestors ancestors. Keep your eyes peeled, everyone.

If you pre-order from Gamestop you do get the Bandana skull, but that is only when you go there and pick it up. Either way, the code couldn't be redeemed as of yet due to the game not being on shelves yet. But I can assure you that when you pick it up, you'll get the codes. As for the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer beta, I am unsure. They say it is included in the collection, so I'm guessing it's a free to everyone thing. The more feed back, the better. If you have any more questions, be sure to ask!

Welcome to the forums, I hope to see you around.

Welcome back, I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Enjoy your month in the minus green! Although, you are dedicated and there isn't exactly any green to take away, we can all have our wishes, no? I'll be sure to check into the shoutbox at some time to see you in the pink. And remember, with great MoMness, comes great responsibility.

I like them all equally, because all-together we see their stories unfold and witness what type of situations that they suffered through. and by the way... Since no one else guessed... :3 "I'm like a bull in a china shop".

NOTICE: Art week has been bumped another week due to lack of basic introduction and preparation - Thanks!

Well guys! I'd like to congratulate you all for making staff, getting promoted, or returning to staff! It's always good to see new members in new colors! Not only that, but Zebra... Dem spam bots... This is the day, that the bots shall fall!! (Don't worry iBot, I still love you mom... I mean the spam bots.) Congrats again, I hope to see you all around in your new colors!! Enjoy it!

Guess what!?!?!? IT'S ART WEEK!!! (Finally) I know, it's a little late, but it's still in time.... Maybe. So, rules as always. 1. No stealing others content, no matter if they are a close friend or a random artist. (The moderators and I can spot watermarks you know) 2. Nothing inappropriate. (No vulgar content, No sexual content, no extreme gore. Try your best to keep it family friendly. 3. Only 3 pictures per artist. 4. You can reserve your place (via 'edit later' posts) 5. Only edit your post. This keeps the thread clean and organized. 6.You may comment, but I recommend multi-quoting. Sorry if it seems strict, but there had been a few issues I had noticed, some done by me as well that I'd like to fix up. I'll be adding my posts later. But enjoy your creativity! Some of my photos were made at a time where I was experimenting with broken glass.

Another great video! It's amazing to see tricks and/or glitches like this pulled off so other players can even have a try at it. Keep up the amazing work!

Well, the War Games map pass is practically for the Crimson, Majestic, and Castle map packs. The content that you may be missing is possibly the Champions Bundle or the Bullseye Pack which features Pitfall, and Vertigo, the two last maps in the "DLC Collection" so to speak. If you are able to play the maps in Custom Games, then the War Games map pass worked. You can also tell by going to your Spartan Armor and checking if you have the helmets 'Scanner' and 'Strider'. You can check for the Champions Bundle and/or Bullseye pack by checking your maps for the ability to use Pitfall and Vertigo. Also, if you have the armor called Ricochet. If you don't own those, that's your issue. The other reason you may not be playing the DLC maps in match making is because there really aren't a lot of playlists specific for them, unless that's changed as I haven't touched Halo 4 in a while. P.S We aren't the real 343i. Also, if you plan on getting the two extra maps (if you don't own them) either get Bullseye or just the bundle, as Pitfall and Vertigo are included within the Champions Bundle. People can make mistakes sometimes, just wanna make sure it doesn't happen.
