If your team can't manage that, then you are going to lose, guaranteed. For our Firebase match, we never had a coordinated push and then obviously the round derailed completely due to our disagreement. Everyone gets 80% of the rep next time they win, so no worries. It's better to lose faster at that point, haha.
You use this fact all the time, but from the correct map control positions with two points held. Or else you have to get so many more kills than the other team that it's unlikely to work. Agree to disagree at this point it seems. I can't agree with any Firebase strat that involves capping + sitting on C.
Control sucks as a game mode. If the momentum starts rolling against you, it's very hard to stop (map control--> more kills --> more points for those kills --> more supers --> more kills --> more heavy --> more supers --> etc. etc. etc.). Interrogation in The Last of Us is a much better design: if one team gets ahead, the game becomes harder for them, not easier, which allows the other team to catch up and be competitive.
---------------------------------------
We know each other's personalities pretty well by now, and I certainly admit to being headstrong (as you put it during the match) and abrasive (as others have put it around here, ha) at times. "Passionate" is a more charitable way to put it, if people are so inclined (

By the way, whoever suggested to turn off the "directly connect to ps4" Remote Play option is AWESOME!
It works so well now, and both devices are on wifi.
@LordOfPwn - try it if you haven't.

My alt is in lv 28 =/
So this has been happening for the passed few days or so. Everytime I pop a Heavy Weapon Ammo Synthesis it just uses it up without actually giving me ammo. Only thing I can think of being the problem is that my consumables are full so unless I had a free spot I don't get the Heavy Ammo or something? But I don't think it's been doing this for Special Weapon Ammo Synthesis though.
Awesome, got it on my third roll. That's my legendary HC sorted then. Hit rank 3 on Crucible so I've finally managed to get my hands on the Saterienne Rapier wooooo. Feels like I've made some good progress this week in Destiny. Just need to farm glimmer to get my gear upgraded and buy the IB gloves.
Yep, known bug for a long time. You have to have at least one slot open on your consumables for the synths to work.

I feel some regret, blew 130 motes going for the perfect timur's roll. I'm out of motes now and have hip fire and mulligan....
Fix the bug or give me more Vault space then, Bungie! Vault and Consumables are already full of hundreds of Heavy and Special Ammo Synthesis.

Not RNG (surprising for this game, I know), but rather very sensitive. Spawn points are based on player positions and can flip very, very easily if people push even a little bit too far forward. Always want to make sure people sit way back to prevent that and let them come into your kill boxes.
Like I posted a minute ago, having me at the BWatch B/C heavy and everyone else in front of me was not enough to prevent them spawning behind me at C.
Yeah the fact that factions take both Vanguard and Crucible rep... but not marks... is still one of the crucial design flaws in this game. Who knows if or when they will fix it, makes 0 sense. If you only want to do PvE, I'd recommend not using the faction class armor and just putting all your Vanguard rep into the actual Vanguard vendor. The difference in stats (i.e. FWC has Int/Dsc) is negligible compared to your actual light level.
Sure, it will take longer to grind pure Vanguard rep compared to Factions, but grinding Vanguard marks is sooooo much faster than Crucible marks. PvE and PvP are extremely different experiences, many people interested in/good at one will not feel the same about the other.
I'll go ahead and post this PSA again: Keep the first Timurs you roll that is decent-to-good. Then buy another one and roll it into the ground looking for "perfection" if you are inclined. Use a glimmer farm around here, 11500 glimmer takes maybe 15 minutes.

Yeah, the number of people we had shifted around for a while. Even if it's 45 minutes, that's like 3 matches of IB we could have played... or 45 minutes of anything else. lol
You probably need to reset your router/modem. That's PSN being PSN.

Why'd you leave?
Apparently the heavy ammo bugs are super difficult to deal with and can/will cause a bunch of other issues if "fixed" right now. Yeah...

Also the 331 extra damage does not come into play until you are fighting level 22+ enemies (not sure why it has to be 22+ instead of 20, but the tests on Reddit confirmed this.) So you'll need to be doing the daily or weekly or Nightfall or raid to see a difference from the extra attack rating.

"Passionate" is a more charitable way to put it, if people are so inclined (). But I'm also loyal to my people, and you are most certainly one of "my people" so I don't want any silly strat disagreement to get in the way of that. So I just logged off for now to prevent any further escalation but will most definitely be down to play anytime you feel like it. I <3 DGAF.thanks Lik
Omg, I loved TLOU MP. I missed out on ps3's but wow was it intense for ps4.
On that note, coordinating when/where we will use supers helps a ton! There were a few matches where we did that and we were using supers nonstop for a good few minutes which helped pull away. 2 out of 3 points capped and having a "super" spree goes a long ways. We would say when each person had their bubble or golden gun, and where they were using it or when.
I just know MOST of the time, having 2 points with ~3 people per point to defend and have nobody go towards the opponent's single point, super off of each other. It works pretty well. It's when your down 1-2 captures that really makes coordination even more important. Everyone should go for the non-B point for the respective map, usually C. A lot of the time it'll get split, like 1-2 people will go somewhere else and most likely die. Or even if you split 3-3, they have their defenses held so you usually need more people to rush one of the points to throw them off, imo.
I just can't get the boots to drop on two of my characters - either would go to 32 with them.
I left by accident. Wanted to adjust my device and hit log out of PS4 instead.

I really should have done this. Lesson learned for the next IB.

Armor aside, I have gotten 2 different weapons, 2 swordbreakers and 2 song of ir yut from Crota in im guessing 15 kills, so mats only on 11 kills, anger inducing.

Thanks for the Crota's raids, good luck with hard mode on Wednesday.

Personally I'm 100% convinced that higher IB rank gives higher weapon drop rates. I never saw weapons drop for anyone Tues and Weds and now at least 1 drops almost every match, or at least feels that way. Clearly drop rates have increased as ranks have increased later in the week.
I'll be doing IB later but not for a while probably. Bunch of other stuff I need/want to do now... first things first: gtfo of Gaf.
Holy shit thank you for posting this, made me laugh very hard. Farming Ogres and Hydras for grimoire is literally the only place I've drawn a line with this game, so to speak. I try to keep myself busy with "more interesting" stuff like helping people on flawless runs just to prevent myself from grimoire farming.

I couldn't help myself
I just went through the same thing for dumber reasons
So I have barely touched this game since launch week. Life got busy and between that and other games I just never got back to Destiny. Am I so far behind that I'm going to have to grind for a while to catch up with people. I'm assuming people are busy doing the latest raid. I figure if the commitment is too big at this point I'll move on to another game.

One crucial thing PvE and PvP do have in common: Communication is the most OP weapon in the game.
Timur's Lash: Ended up with Rangefinder (more range when ADS) and Grenadier for the perks and Flared Magwell in the tree for faster reloads. It's not perfect but it does cover two of the weaknesses of the gun (slow reload and limited range).
Radegast's Fury: Solar (meh) Tracking (yay!) and Spray and Play (yay!) So it's still a 1 round launcher but it tracks and has nice, fast reloads.
I was getting low on motes so I stopped with those rolls. Overall I am pretty happy with them.
