Destiny |OT23| This Train is Bound for Mercury
- Thread starter DrDrizzay101
- Start date
Played some skirmish again today and some IB. It really reminded me again how Destiny shines in 3v3 and straight up sucks in 6v6.
6v6 is like being at a hardcore gangbang set. It is a total sausage fest and you are just there looking for the woman. This is especially true on the smaller maps like Cauldron, Asylum and Anomaly. These should have never been added to 6v6.
Once you push heavy with supers the game just snowballs. After that it is only rockets and chaining supers for a good 2 minutes. There is nothing you can do to get out except literally get out and leave the game.
3v3 on the other hand is like doing an intimate threesome. The game shines, especially in Elimination. You can still have both heavies and super chain but to a much lesser extent. Everything that is bullshit about this game is just much less pronounced.
Point is 6v6 sucks, it has always sucked but it took me a while to realize.

Well, if we are going to get new subclasses with the Comet, maybe we'll luck out and blink wont be included in any of them.
That might help the diversity at least.
I know, I was there.

I don't know if this is accurate or not but I love the analogy.

Yeah, it's the first time I've seriously played since the patch that changed the ammo drops and it's still fairly plentiful. At least people have no problems finding ways to keep their shotguns full of ammo.
That's the thing... they made it so easy to get the "perfect" shotgun that, at this point, everyone is going to have the same exact loadouts. It's just a matter of choosing whether you want to use a standardized sniper or a standardized shotgun.
But it's moot, since everything will get adjusted at some point anyway. I still find it funny that they keep fussing with PvP weapons when Gjallahorn breaks 100% of their PvE content though.
Titans with blinking solar super that releases fire in 360 degrees and also provides an impenetrable shield !

Thanks Nami & Messiek for the Skolas run, went pretty smoothly
Got the pulse rifle with solar damage, and finished up my 2nd elder cipher.... one more to go. Will try and finish it tonight/tomorrow depending on time.
Here's some random stuff....
Heh.

Found Macello's long lost brother:
Tried my luck at judgements chance and actually got a good roll, here's the full hunter set with decent stats. I absolutely hate the legs, it looks like I have socks on up to my ass, Bungie pls.
HoW Hunter Set:
TDB Hunter Set:
VoG Hunter Set:
Heh.
How many gaffers have Thorns bounty sitting there because of the crucible or xyor requirements?
I'd say none.
There is a new one? or are you just talking about the gun book that came with the game?
edit: oh wow I didn't even know this existed! I'm a pretty huge art book collector.
Don't remember hearing that, but its pretty interesting. Blink is pretty broken when its paired with long range shotties.
Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll rebalance the classes and take Blink away.

See... This is the kind of post that really rings true to me.
Basically just compare whatever your point is to porn and it'll immediately click for me.
If your point is that Thorn users have skill because they completed the bounty as opposed to shotgun users....you must be ignoring the fact that most people will use a Void shotgun to get the bounty. Cmon. It's not a challenge at all for anyone remotely interested in PvP, it'll just take longer for below average players.doubt anyone here hasn't been able to.

The thorn is the only exotic bounty I did once and never bothering doing it again, I upgraded my thorn since vanilla but never actually use it before ToO

Probably just me because I dismantled my old 300 thorn months ago and never bothered doing it again.
More importantly, how many players have done the crucible part of the bounty by going into rumble with 2 friends and getting easy kills? I'd say a fuck load of them. The bounty part of Thorn is irrelevant.

I'm not sure how to articulate it, but I just don't think Destiny is built for it.
Firstly, special ammo isn't being handled properly. Many of the crates are poorly distributed, which means it's difficult to contest them in 6v6. The crates work fine in 3v3, but one person can pull the ammo in 6v6 and then it's gone for another 2 minutes. During that time, supers, grenades and weapons like universal remote and no land beyond would be filling the niche. And then heavy comes up and you can't snipe the guy with rockets because there's less ammunition to deal with.
I wouldn't be opposed to trying it, but as the sentiment goes you start moving away from "Destiny" when those changes come into play.
Everything checks and balances each other.

I don't think the Thorn bounty is relevant to balance, but blink shotgunning is everywhere in IB and it's much worse than the Thorn in my experience. The more nerfs to primaries, the more we are going to see blink shotgunning. It's obnoxious and the biggest issue with (6v6) PvP in this game.

Me, although I'll probably start on it next week when IB is done.
Trivial when you consider the important part which is that Crucible/IB and ToO is full of it.

Im trying out my newly leveled 365 matador now. Its all im using. Just take a few detours every now and then, and you wont have to fire anything but your shotgun.
Shouldn't be like that.
Yeah I just did rumble...phew rough..
What mode you playing?

In a perfect world, but lets be honest, we're too far into the game cycle to remove a component like that.
If we're super lucky it'll be gone for Destiny 2, or maybe reworked, but I can't imagine a way to make Blink useful without having an impact on the on PvP the way it currently does.

I'd say it's accurate and it also mirrors my thinking. I predominantly played 6v6 modes (I have like +12k kills in control), it's all I really ever played. Then one day I decided maybe I should try something else, so I went into Salvage and I fell in love. I now have a hard time playing 6v6, it's just a clusterfuck. It can still be fun, but I find it extremely frustrating now.

lol lima this is rich
but yea I don't understand why they're putting 6v6 on 3v3 maps. If they really wanted to take a queue out of their Halo playbook:
2v2 Doubles with revives
3v3 Skirmish with revives
3v3 Salvage with revives
3v3 Elimination with revives
4v4 Clash on smaller maps
4v4 Control on smaller maps
6v6 Combined Arms (Clash and Control) including but not limited to the larger maps
6v6 Control on Asylum is absolutely stupid.

There is something really wrong in PVP when you start shooting an enemy with your non- exotic pulse, hand cannon or auto rifle and the enemy just jump at you with his/her shotgun and kills you with ease. Then you try to do long range strategy and the same guy takes you down with a exotic handcannon with easy, builds a super and destroy the rest of your team
I'd love to see Arc Hunters lose it, personally.
I feel like Bungie's approach to balance is more or less exclusively nerfing things. Balance needs to be more general and across the varying weapon classes and it should be more than just nerfing and buffing. Then it should also be addressing individual as in specific issues like Thorn's range, Blink etc.

Hello guys... missed u a lot.
I guess with the new Efrideet you will need to use a ammo pack or finish him with other void CM... the same happens with LDR even with FS.
And Old Efrideet can deal damage enough to cover the lack of one Praedyth.
3x Old Efrideet can finish him in no time.
Well from my experience the Efrideet with FS is better than LDR with FS for Skolas... 25 shots is enough to take him down and the last round takes 13k damage (4 shots in a 25 magazine).

PoE 35 from Boss drop
Maaathhhhh play Osiris with me tomorrow.
They are a drop from Skolas.
I don't find it as effective due to lower impact and range. The auto fire perk is useful, however, if you're a "spray and pray" close quarters combatant like myself.

Can you only open the Wolves chest once now? No more leaving the area and returning?
