So should I use my key for PoE 28 or 32 or 34?

It took me 2 hours to farm that bloody key as well
Guys I've started using Jumper control scheme, the only issue I have outside of pressing X outside of habit (leading to super) is that my aim is worse with throwing knife when trying to hit moving targets. That plus I need to get used to switching between L1 and L2 quickly, because otherwise I am spending a lot of time hip firing.
Morning DGaf!
I didn't see anyone post this yet: people on Reddit are saying that the PoE chest does not give a guaranteed exotic on the first open of the week. So there's that.
Played a lot of ToO on Friday and then again Monday. It seemed like the competition either got a little tougher or (probably) just smarter between the two days. Same group I ran with Friday and almost got flawless a few times, was having trouble getting to 7-8 wins on Monday. Snipers seemed much more prevalent. Itll be interesting to see what this week brings.

I know this is what unstable uses as well, but I don't think I could ever get used to it. Over 800 hours in, it's all muscle memory now, it would probably seriously screw me up lol.
By the way, can anyone tell me what the daily crucible is?
Streamerhouse has been trying that for probably something like one hour and a half now.
They just had a good run where they managed to bring him down to something like 1/8 life, but couldn't survive the adds in the end. Once someone in the team dies, it gets reaaally complicated it seems.

It's control.
Also it can be learned, it isn't all that much different honestly since Right click is now melee (like every other shooter), L1 is jump like Mirror's edge/Dying light, X is super and R1 is grenade (again like every other shooter).
Everything else is exactly the same.

Daily crucible is Control.
^Too slow.
Jumper is life. Started that almost at the beginning of Destiny, and there is no going back.

Y'all are weird using the control schemes and shit of the guys who do well. I mean, if it makes you do better more power to you, but it seems like the same thinking that gets people to turn their sensitivity up super high for no reason.
So now i have to wait until the weekend to play toO?
Whats the point of that? I dont even care about the rewards that much, i just wanna play pvp where winning mathers to people. Makes it so much more fun.
Really dont understand why they arnt making pvp better for competetive play. Even toO, as hard as it is for most people, for the true competetive pvpers, its still playing in public servers. You see people like unstable pretty much going 9-0 while doing it all by himselfe.
Why not just add a ranked playlist with skilled based mm? Give people a challange.

I did, but I didnt get a key :-(
Turning up the sensitivity is a must. It's not "for no reason". The default sensitivity is way too slow.

Yeah the 3 is, I'm talking about the people who go overboard and throw it into 7 or 8 because they see that's what a streamer rolls with or something.

Chest and Fusion rifle. ToO vendor doesn't show any rewards... which is kind of weird.

Dang... I'll check out the stream now, thanks. Seems like it could take a while to figure out, but I'm sure once someone gets the strat down pat and shares it on gaf/reddit we'll all be taking him down in no time.
Control, nice thanks.
I might try and mess around with it a bit today and see how it is. I'll be honest until a few days ago I didn't even know you could change the control scheme

OT23|Hunting for keys got me feeling special
Reason? Because before HoW I had 2 special ammo synths, now I have 120 :-(

There are no ToO rewards shown this week. It might have been a first week kind of thing, or they'll add them before the weekend, but they're only showing the four packages and no weapon or armor.
The PoE rewards are chest pieces (the titan one has all strength again, WTF) and the Aksor fusion rifle.
EDIT:
Might not be weird, might be intentional.
Yeah, 6-7 is the sweet spot for me. Any higher than that and I feel like I'm having a seizure.

Well... who knows maybe the next two armor pieces will be pure intellect and discipline head/boots?
That would be nice... but probably won't happen. I'll be playing the judgements chance game this week.

idk what the default is, but if I go above 5 I start to struggle.
also what's the consensus on auto-aim? On or off. I've run with both, but I felt like hit boxes were a bit off when I turned auto aim off so I turned it back on. But when someone crosses in front of me when I shooting one guy and it diverts my aim and causes me to die I think about turning it off again.
Yep, they want us to roll judgements OR to wait for the next batch of gears in a few weeks, so we still have a reason to run 32.

I just upped mine to 7 from 6 and instantly got more kills.
I'm primarily (or used to be anyway) a PC gamer, and am used to very high mouse sensitivity, so going 6-7 on the controller feels very natural to me.

ToO doesn't have skill based rank matching though. And the only reason why people beg to get on trains or care about winning is because loot is on the line and its elimination in both the mode and on your card.
Whenever Bungie adds plain elimination it'll end up like Inferno probably. Mostly meh. That kind of hardcore mode only thrives if the community grows on its own without a quick carrot to push it, think of the hyper-competitive guys from the days of Gears of War 1 & 2. The rampant shit-talking and leaderboards are what drove them. All you have here is your gear to get in ToO and your obscure DB stats.
Tbh I'd be crazy happy if Bungie took a page from Gears and let the two teams shit talk between rounds. Would be amazing imo. Don't see how it would open it up for much colluding since losses are so heavily penalized as of now.
I already do well, jumper allows me to aim and jump at the same time. It has nothing to do with "using the schemes of guys who do well". There are some things where you will hit the ceiling and hence have to change otherwise you'll only be limiting yourself.
Things like using Auto rifles, even if you do well with it..you'll do much better if you use a pulse rifle or hand canon. It's just a way of getting over a limitation so that you can get more out of your game.
Thank you, guess I'm going with all judgments chances seeing as how the chest was the ToO reward last week

I have a hard time reviving people and doing anything else. If I'm going to revive I basically need to completely stop and not move to get you up. I might be able to move forwards and back though... that's about it.
Some players are able to move around, aim, shoot while reviving. The heck?
Bungie openly said they don't want that toxic feel, that's why it took MONTHS to get any form of public voice chat enabled, so although it'd be nice, it's not going to happen for a long looooong time.
That being said, I lost a round in Trials got danced and teabagged on, I then proceeded to destroy them the next five and sent my first flame message to the guy....
It's not so straightforward for console shooters. It depends on preferences because higher sensitivity allows you to turn quick but it also means you cannot take full advantage of the aim assist or aim adhesiveness of the reticule. It also depends on how sticky the aim assist is in the game.
Zoba uses 4 and Unstable uses 7. I used to run 10 then I started experimenting with everything between 4 and 10 and found 6-7 to be where I got my best performance. Sure I'd like to be able to turn faster as 7 still feels quite slow to me who used to play at 10, but it would also mean I'll miss a lot more of my shots...especially considering I now exclusively use sniper and TLW.
Feels like they designed it for difficulty, first, not fun. That and Gjallahorn ruins everything (from their perspective, I'm sure).
