They also fire slower to get those damage numbers. I used AE since the second week that the raid was out and beat many, many, Suros users in head to head gunfights because gunfights aren't just about pure damage. A flat precision damage removal across all AR's based on the damage of a select few without taking individual player skill into account is an awful, way too heavy handed idea.
I am talking about Xbox. Weird update, can't tell any difference and no one is posting about it.

Isn't it a problem with the system applying an old update? Or something like that?
It's not the first time I've seen people mentionning they get an update lately, with no traction or confirmation whatsoever from others. And it's always 76Mb.

Meant to post this yesterday but got sidetracked by that awful thread (grand idea, I know). Not sure if it's sufficient proof but here it is! I'm finally special. 'Collect 50 Ghosts' was easily the worst for me but @Acorn and I knocked it out together so it wasn't too bad. Merry Christmas, everyone.

It really does continue to surprise me that people want to see fusion rifles nerfed.
You can hear the bastards charging for goodness sake.
Plan C is a bitch, but it's an exotic, so I let it slide.
I dunno, maybe it's just me. But I feel like an average as hell crucible player and I have very few issues with crucible. My biggest gripe is the way the large maps are handled.

that's funny, i don't think that's the problem with fusion rifles at all! hahaha. I guess it's a difference in perspective, but if you're in a close range combat scenario, I have no issues with how fusion rifles of either type perform. They're a viable option in the space that shotguns typically dominate in any game, and I think that's a good thing
In that scenario, getting a second shot off if you miss (not just fail to kill) means that your target screwed up somehow. They should have punished you by killing you before you have a chance, with any number of options. I mean, I'm not sure if you were stating the opposite or not, but a shotgun with a high rof DOES win against an FR if the FR user misses.
It's interesting to hear from you about this though, because I think the more common issue with fusion rifles is the distance from which they can one-shot people, regardless of how long it takes to charge up before doing so.

I'm a heavy FR user and I have Final Rest with the crazy charge rate plus impact and range. Even I can see the range I can kill people at sometimes is ridiculous. It's even worse with plan C and PI.
FRs can definitely use a nerf in projectile spread (make it wider) and range. I think some shotguns can use this too. Some particular ones I find are still one shotting me
Plan C is a mid range sniper rifle. It's stupid. So glad most people didn't seem realise when Xur sold it.
60fps alone makes Destiny feel like 10 years back for a while.
You'll soon forget it, though.

So to get into CE solo you need to be a 30 right?
yeah, just played some bf4 at 144fps and wow... four months in a 30fps console shooter will mess you up
oh well, ill be back on destiny tomorrow

When Xur sells a weapon for two consecutive weeks it ceases to be an exotic
Something like the plan C has a super fast charge rage, high impact and long range. No matter how I look at it or try to justify it its annoying as shit going up against fusions rifles like the plan c in the crucible.

Haha, I don't mean availability. I just meant that it uses your exotic slot.
I'd rather go against Plan C than The Last Word or Hawkmoon.

So much feel.
30fps, a gamepad, and two months of heavy pain killers for joint inflammation have ruined my pvp career.
Yet I can't stop.
What the fuck has Destiny done to me?
The kills I get when "throwing up a brick" at range with Plan C, (especially) Pocket Infinity, and even 77 Wizard sometimes are absolutely disgusting... true disbelief moment ("I killed him?"). Light of the Abyss can't pull that stuff, but it's completely brilliant at everything else, so it's been a fun change of pace for me.
I think the nerf to spread alone would be just fine- because the further out you go, the more diffuse the spread will be and thus the less damage you'd do. Regardless of the damage of each individual beam, you wouldn't be able to one-shot at long range if only half of the amount of them were connecting compared to how they work right now. It would also have no effect on the fusion rifles that don't have that range to begin with, because you're not hitting people from that far out even with the current spread.
Well, plan C is an exotic, there really isn't anything like it. It needs the same functional range nerf as every other fusion, because powerful as it should be to justify the slot, you can pretty much snipe people with it in its current form.
Funny thing is Pocket Infinity is the considerably better of the two, it's just harder to use. Plan C is the Suros Regime of FRs- not that they needed one, lol
When I get on a FR spree it feels like enable.godmode 1
No other weapon comes close to feeling as game breaking for me.

Since everything is down at the moment this may be the best time to ask; is Monte Carlo a good mid range/close range weapon? I normally use pulse rifles in PvE and Fusion rifles in PvP, but I got this to drop in the Crucible and now I am thinking about using it. My only issue is if there are other exotics or legendaries that do the job better, and I am wasting my upgrade materials...
What do you use?
I got a Perun's Fire with Hip Fire, Coils, Grenadier and I almost feel bad...
Almost.

PSN and Destiny still down?
God damnit. Was hoping to get playing at 9pm EST tonight after more than 48 hours of not playing.
I've got 2 days of Eris bounties in my inventory and if I can't clear them tonight I'll miss a day of bounties with her for the first time. Also wanted to max glimmer and get a good reserve of beads. Gahhhhh
PSN better be in good shape for Xurmas!

Really? I would rather go up against those primary weapons than plan C. I don't play much crucible but I did try playing around the time Xur was selling the plan c and I couldn't play more than 3 matches cause it just got too frustrating.
Yes Plan C is an exotic and there isn't anything like it but does that even matter? I brought up Xur earlier cause him selling the weapon, especially two weeks in a row means that the game is now flooded with plan C's. This is my main problem with Xur. These weapons are not meant to be so common. And yes it takes up the exotic slot but there are a few exotics out there that are more effective than plan C in PVP so you're not really sacrificing much by using up that slot with it.

I'm planning to get up about 2 hours before reset to do today's bounties. Hopefully shit will be running then.
We should rumble some time.
I'll record the party to scare my future kids with when they get out of line.
I agree to a point. An expert Plan C user on a smaller map is a nightmare, even on larger maps they're annoying

If you miss the initial FR shot against a good player it leaves you pretty vulnerable, so I don't really have a problem with FR users. Also FR is great in a 1vs1 situation, not so good when people are trying to gang up on you. I recently made a new character to get some of those radiant shards and I was amazed at how easy it was to kill high level players with a shotgun and go on killing sprees. It is very annoying to be on the receiving end of that.
I don't see many Plan C users in the Crucible for some reason, that gun is just OP and gives you easy kills. People seem to use shotguns over FRs most of the times.
Glad you like it. Sadly, it ran away. Apparently my own ferret wanted it to know that my place was big enough for only one ferret.
