I find that I get killed a lot due to bad judgement calls as well.
I've really been focusing on changing my routes if I've been getting destroyed in one certain location. It sounds obvious, but I find myself getting caught up and running back for "revenge"a lot.
I've also been trying to stay moving more. A lot of times when I see an opponent coming on radar around a corner or something, I've waited for them to come around the corner, but after getting shotgunned 100 times in that situation, I've started backing up to engage them in a more long range fire fight.
To add to your last paragraph as a strategy I like to use.
Something that works very well for me, is to bait someone I know is waiting around a corner with a shotgun into attacking. I run TLW, so if the range is played correctly, they will at most get off one shotgun shot at a range that won't kill me in the time it takes me to get the 2-3 shots I need to put them down.
Basically I do a little jig on the corner, and then back up. Once they are committed I'm actually about 20 feet away and they are toast.

To add to that particular counter, adding vertical play is still somewhat rare by most people beyond blinking on top of somebody or a slight hop when rounding the corner with a shotgun.
When you've got those people who are only interested in jumping through death funnels, floating as a warlock or titan by the doorway makes for please pickings when they come in not knowing where you're hiding. Even if they're aware of the radar, it takes a second for them to get adjusted.
Listening to the Crucible Radio podcast has helped me be more mindful of things to try or practice. For example, I've been trying to really practice knowing my areas of control and staying alive even if I don't get the kills. Knowing the sight lines, lane that I could be attacked from and establishing that area that I have influence on, even if the action is elsewhere.
Along with that is getting rid of trying to force that engagement when I'm at any disadvantage. Whether it's just backing off when the enemy and I are both weak, having routes to take cover/run away, or not challenging hard scoping snipers, there's a lot to try and consciously remind myself when it's been a lot of mindless slaying.
Result so far has been a much better overall and consistent KD in most game modes. Kill count has now reached about the same as before.
Didn't see any reforging options on the weapons on the stream though. It'll exist for old guns it seems from HoW but those won't matter too much outside of general PvP.
Quite like the quality of life changes so far. The collector in me will be happy to be able have other miscellenous things to collect like all the shaders, emblems and ships. More quests, weekly crucible stuff for those who enjoy that side of the game and no limit to gaining legendary marks. Lots to look forward too even as a basic update.
Yeah... I realized after that it was DeeJ that was in the Gunsmith and I saw the reforge options on the bottom, he had HoW Dead Orbit weapons equipped.

Me too. I kinda wish they would implement some of the changes right away like the shader/emblem collections, the blueprints, and the new vault. But *sigh* guess we'll have to wait a few more weeks for everything to drop at once.
So I was almost willing to buy the whole "Gally on Xur" was completely random thing last week, since the numbers showed that it only had one appearance (two, counting last week), followed by Thunderlord with two appearances, and then most everything else with three... but this week is Thunderlord... lol.
So my daughter has finally started playing Destiny and I now have a problem that I am looking for the cheapest way to solve it.
I have two ps4, one copy of destiny and one ps plus account. This works well if either of my kids want to play with me but does nothing if they want to play together.
If my kids want to play together I think I need the following:
1. Another ps plus membership
2. Another copy of destiny.
What is the best/cheapest way to get all these. I don't really want to spend 100 bones for destiny again. I don't mind the second plus subscription.
Is it cheaper to buy a used copy of destiny and then add all the expansion or better to buy a bundle. My current version of destiny is all digital.

Destiny is on sale for 19.99 last time I checked. If you buy digital you can game share the game and expansions , if you buy hard copy you can game share the expansions

Destiny is actually 9.99 now, so it's cheap. No expansions though. I'd buy the Taken King disc version (it's called the Legendary edition, costs $75), which comes with all of the content to date. Then they can go through it together.

1. Set PS4 #1 as your primary PS4 using your primary PSN account (Settings > Playstation Network/Account Management > activate as your primary ps4)
2. Login with your primary PSN account on PS4 #2
3. Set up secondary PSN account, and sign into PS4 #1
For PS4 #2 to continue to work, it needs your primary PSN account actively logged in.
For PS4 #1 to work, it simply needs to be activated as your primary PS4.
Only unknown for me is whether or not the secondary PSN account needs to be a PS Plus account, but I don't believe it does.
I have tried this and the problem comes down to the software rights. On the primary PS4 everyone has access to every thing on the ps4 including ps plus. On the secondary PS4 only the owner of the software has access to that software and the ps plus account only works with my account. Your set up is how i have it set up now. One copy of destiny, one psn plus account and I can play on either PS4 but my son (or daughter) can only play on the primary.
Currently I (software owner ) play destiny on my secondary ps4 while my son plays on my primary Ps4. If my kids want to play together using their PSN accounts we need one of them to "own the software" and one needs a ps plus account.
Unless there is a better way I am stuck paying for another copy of Destiny. Perhaps I will give my daughter sometime to play so see if she really likes it before I spend a few hundred dollars so my wife can HATE Destiny even more.

I think the Legenday copy is the way to go but to order it digitally (PS store) its 99.00.
I know it won't be relevant after TTK drops with the balance patch but been playing with a Hard Luck Charm. Can almost get to max range (31/32) and has a very fast fire rate. Double kills are becoming the norm with this.
Control match with that and a Mida.
Going to be trying a Trials card with TjRhythmic tonight at 11:30PM MT. Anybody interested let me know.
I tried running Trials last night as well. Got a record high 4 wins lol. Are you on again tonight Anduril? I have a buddy who's decent (he made it to Mercury last week for the first time) who would probably be interested too.
Edit: Even though I'm not very good at ToO, it's a lot of fun. If anyone hasn't tried it yet, should give it a shot just for kicks!
Nice gameplay Anduril. You really got rolling in the middle there. Too bad your team mates were lemons.....
