eh, weapon choice is taking my point off on a bit of a tangent. i don't like all of these campy maps. widow's court is fine in skirmish and clash but trials turns it into the kind of maps i detest.

Trials is basically use every cheap thing available to win. Thorn, last round, blink/shotgun, etc.

 

[DeviantBoi]

Got all 3 of my characters to rank 5 in the Iron Banner and I now have 6 etheric light.

What's the best way to spend them?

 

[Nonoriri]

Arc Jewel of Osiris ;__;

 

[ethomaz]

Yeah open spot for IB. Kadey1up if you're not on my FR.

I'm down.

Edit - Full already.

If you're not 34, do that. Otherwise, I'd say your elemental primaries

I don't play many shooters but I feel like this is a tall order in a game with no weapon spawns and the ability to spawn with ranged weapons. Other than ammo pickups, there's very little incentive to move around the map.

black hammer, fate bringer, voc should be the first 3 no matter what

And....we just filled up. We had a couple of people trying to fill it up. Sorry. :/ Unless you're one of the ones that just joined. Then Yay!

I'll be getting to rank 5 soon. So you can take my spot when I get there. Like 200 points to go.

 

[pixxxelz]

Need 3 more for some Iron Banner! PSN Hoffelcopter or Cosmoc_Man

Still room for one more?

 

[Twilight Gap]

everything i just listed except the last one should be unflinching.

yes there is a difference on shortgaze.

ah, cool

also got Felwinter's Lie finally. that gun killed me the most in IB, i think.

Basically. It's do what you have to in order to win. I won on both Pantheon and Burning Shrine by staying back and outsniping the enemy. I also won by bum-rushing their side of the map. I've done the same on this map also. Plus a little diversity in the types of map, whether it's more long range or more CQC focused, isn't going to kill Trials.

 

[ethomaz]

And the other team is full too lol

Looking for IB Train or ToO.

 

[joecanada]

And finally after 3 weeks of DLC, I'm swimming in Etheric Light! 11 spares!

Wtf how is that even possible, is that shared between 3 character? There's no way I'll earn enough to ascend all my gear. I'm already contemplating which gear to dump

Sorry. :/ When I posted we only three people. Then right after 3 people joined.

I don't play many shooters but I feel like this is a tall order in a game with no weapon spawns and the ability to spawn with ranged weapons. Other than ammo pickups, there's very little incentive to move around the map.

Because Bungie keeps [intentionally] removing the incentive.

When they add high ground, they put another place on the map with a bunch of cover to camp, therefore removing any reason to contest the high ground. When they have a good mix or high ground and safe spots, they leave the spawns open. When they get the spawns and height variation right, the sightlines are cluttered. Or they'll get the layout perfect, but it'll be too flat and then they'll throw a bunch of line of sight blockers around the place to break up the sightlines. I'm not going to claim to be some map guru but these are some basic tenets of design that I learned from them.

 

[Zocano]

Need one more for PoE 32 please! We are at round four and probably can't do the last two rounds on our own.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Np

Want to form a train?

seems annoying that we haven't gotten a single large map that's actually fun. First Light and Skywatch etc are all trash.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

whatever

 

[MildSoss]

Yes

I'm down for joining that train if there's room. =P

I don't necessarily struggle with adapting to the map or playstyle of the opponents. But conforming to the meta strategy, especially when the map is being played a certainly way that demands it, completely bores me.

 

[_woLf]

FUCK THE CAULDRON

That is literally the only fucking map that I EVER get. worst map in the entire fucking game.

Fuck you bungie. HFUKLSDH JFKLHSDJKLF SD

Doesn't feel like Destiny PvP is fun in large maps.

Coincidentally relevant - Cauldron has one of the strongest layouts in the game.

But hello, let's add automatic doors because we don't want to make a meaningful centerpiece.

I don't understand why it's in Control either.

Lemme get in on the train the PSN is Contramann

 

[silver.tongue]

I ascend my favorite guns (i think 3 black hammers, 2 fatebringers, ldr, against all odds, y-09 longbow, voc, word of crota, corrective measure) and most off my vog and ce gear. Still have 11.

Got to mercury twice. Did rank 5 on ib with 3 chars. Poe 32, 34 and 35 every week. I guess thats how.

still never got one on nightfall.

 

[WheelHoss1]

How does the second character buff work exactly?

My titan is 3 almost 4.

Can I really get other 2 characters to 3 in 5 matches (as LT said he did)? I wouldn't mind a few extra Etheric Light for safe-keeping.

 

[Twilight Gap]

got the perfect roll again but shortgaze is nowhere to be found.

 

[LiK]

Doesn't feel like Destiny PvP is fun in large maps.

the spawn points are too far so there's a lot of running to the control zones and the vehicles aren't fun at all. such a far cry from the Halo PVP maps.

i love the Cauldron, of my fave PVP maps. i think Asylum sucks for control tho.

 

[WheelHoss1]

I got so sick of rerolling that gun I sharded it. Felt dumb afterwards, but it just dropped again for me from IB.

Back to the rerolling lottery and much frustration—still can't get a hand cannon with LiTC + Final Round

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Yo sniper master, how does hand-laid stock affect sniper rifles besides increasing stability and reduced range?
Edit: or I am Asking what you think of it

 

[silver.tongue]

Is the longview srl10 an acceptable replacement for shortgaze?

don't think it does anything other than that. injection mold is better because it inreases handling [equip speed and maybe ads speed]

 

[Lima]

Two Mark of the Unbroken in a row today in Trials? Yo my sniping is on point.

Also Koro hurry up and get on. We have people waiting.

next best thing according to this

[Ji66a-Man]

Anyone still need to run PoE? I still have 1 35 to do on my hunter, and 32s and 34s for all three characters.

Seriously, the doors kill ALL flow in the map. And I have played it more than any map all week in Iron Banner. I never want to see that map again in my life.

BEYOND frustrating.

Isn't it hard to snipe with deleted characters?

 

[Twilight Gap]

FUCK rerolled a duplicate of the LGH that i saved because the roll was almost perfect

ambush
hidden hand
injection mold
unflinching
solar burn

i literally have the same thing in my vault right now.

BUNGIE PLS GIVE ME SHORGAZE

 

[xVaalbarAx]

So yeah.
