Lmao, these are all great!

I remember when I took the Atheons Epilogue into crucible to finish that Thorn Bounty. *shiver*

I remember when Noomi used to make good posts.

</3 (that's a broken heart)

Remember when you didn't have a hawkmoon?

I try not to think about that too much, dark times. So many roc strikes, so many.

HAHA!

 

[Arrrammis]

You guys want to play a fun game of remember when?

I remember when you could actually chose who went into the portal during Atheon.

I'm bored :/

Remember when you could push both atheon and the Templar off the cliff with grenades?

 

[silver.tongue]

I remember a time when we didn't have baby bumbers on arenas. Atheon would fall and so would the Templar.

Edit: Screw you Arramos

 

[zewone]

I remember when that wizard came from the moon

I heard they patched that back in. I haven't done the mission in awhile.

 

[phen0m24]

I remember when I got excited over ascended shards.

I remember when I came to this thread and was like Hey I got a copy of the game and who is this guy with a bird by his name?

I remember when I nursed my 25 Warlock through the 28 weekly and sandboxgod and I want to say MS but can't remember helped me finish off Phogoth.

I remember when every other post in this thread said Namikaze next to it.

Spoiler

I was one of the quitters at HM Crota. That was soul crushing.

I heard that as well but haven't ran it to check. I think it was on guardian radio a few weeks back

[Arrrammis]

I remember when Xur sold Gjallarhorn, and nobody bought because it was a stupid idea to waste your one exotic slot on a heavy.

 

[PuMa]

I remember when Crucible was like...

 

[Namikaze1]

I remember when Thorn wasn't OP.

I remember when Vex was OP.

I remember everyone skipping Gjallarhorn for armor. all you better hope for a time machine soon so you can slap your past self.

 

[silver.tongue]

This stings in so many levels...

 

[noomi]

I remember spending over an hour doing a level 26 weekly, and I was excited as shit for 3 coins.

Literally laughed out loud dude.

 

[LordofPwn]

You mean when i bought one because it looked cool and was promptly rewarded with the most amazing weapon ever?

Good times.

Also remember when the Vex was OP, had it for like 2 days b4 the patch that nerfed it released. fought my friend in rumble, he was only able to kill me with Hawkmoon if he got a lucky bullet proc.

 

[blazeuk]

I have just joined 3 IB games, each and every one of them was on Pantheon and each time I was put on a losing team (by a ~5000 points) with the other team having both heavy ammo, frustrating to say the least.

 

[HigXx]

Any trains picking up?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Different snipers have different "impact" stats. The higher the impact, the higher the damage per shot. This is almost certainly what was happening to you.

Arc burn and solar burn both cause a 300% damage boost for arc and solar weapons. One is not prioritized over the other.

Both weapons were benefiting from a burn, against unshielded enemies and w're both at 331 - perhaps a large difference in impact class?

Every now and them I'm reminded that I have no idea how some of the systems in Destiny work. This is one of those moments. :lol

I thought impact had to do with whether it would stagger enemies, not how much damage a weapon did. I thought all snipers did the same damage; I had several that did 2800 precision damage without a burn prior to HoW. Some would stagger the Archon priest, some wouldn't.

Good lord. I replaced a lot of my original weapons with HoW stuff that is apparently a lot shittier. Nearly half damage. I had no idea.

Why the heck does "impact" mean "damage"? Why wouldn't they just call it "damage"?

 

[Namikaze1]

I remember when everyone was doing Queen's Wrath for shards. Maxed out several gear because of that. Never got the sniper though.

 

[Mindlog]

I remember being surprised that Thorn was getting two buffs and knowing how much that would screw things up.

Yup, my GF reminds me everyday.

You, Hawkian, how many others took the plunge week 2?

I had NO COINS.

 

[A_Gorilla]

I remember when Xur sold Gjallarhorn, and nobody bought because it was a stupid idea to waste your one exotic slot on a heavy.

I thought it was cause it was the second week of release and barely anyone had enough coins for it?

 

[Nori Chan]

Remember when there wasn't lag in crucible?

cause i dont

Anybody want to do a 34 PoE?

I for the life of me can't find that avatar. Been trying to find it to use it during this past winter but had no luck in finding it.

I remember nothing of this drunken business during the holidays. Nothing at all. Nope.

Oh yeah, who's our boss fight in PoE 34 this week? Another new one I hope?

Yep, big arse servitor, easy stuff.

I got mine from an engram literally days before being sold. I lucked out big time then.

Dude those were some of the funniest laugh out loud posts in the OT's - period. Like, someone write a sitcom episode. (or a season)

I really can't articulate the mix of stupidity, anger and dismay I'm feeling right now. I thought I was upgrading my arsenal with the new HoW gear. I shredded it.

Damage in PVE is a mix between the attack stat and the impact one.
In PVP only impact matters.

That's convoluted yeah, and obscure as fuck considering they don't explain what these stats do in the game...

Good lord. I replaced a lot of my original weapons with HoW stuff that is apparently a lot shittier. Nearly half damage. I had no idea.

Oh man. OK so here's sort of how it works:

You can't compare stats across weapon types. A low impact Hand Cannon will still do more damage per bullet than the highest impact Auto Rifle for example. In order to determine the power/rate of fire within the same weapon class, however, the impact/RoF bars are sort of a good indicator. I say sort of because even that isn't perfect - comparing Red Death to other Pulse Rifles with different impact and looking at the attack value tells you it ain't a perfect fit. In general though it'll work.

So basically most weapon types will have different "archetypes", or variations on the same template, with some outliers to mix it up. There are low impact, high RoF Sniper Rifles (like everything being sold right now by vendors), high impact low RoF (like Black Hammer, the Iron Banner Sniper, Ice Breaker), and others who fall somewhere in between. There's high impact Auto Rifles (Suros, Vanquisher style) and pea-shooters (Atheon's Epilogue, Dr. Nope etc).

These weapons will play very differently but not be necessarily worse or better. A low impact sniper will fire more quickly, which is excellent for PvP or to chain crits in PvE. It's all a tradeoff and will ultimately come down to your preferences.

First thing I ever got from Xur was an Ice Breaker. Didn't even know who Xur was when he sold the Horn.

RNG has blessed me with 6 Horn drops tho. Really lucky there.

Wow with RNG like that, you were destined to play this game.
