So would my 1.2-1.4 K/D on XBox be a 1.6-1.8 or something on a PS4?
I was playing with someone yesterday who kinda admitted just that, I wonder how well I would do on PS4 PVP.

Yeah but how are they matching up against each other, like what Nghtly did to Goth?
IDK, it might come from Xbox 360 days.
I know for tournaments, they try to sync up the matchmaking.

Been wondering how this power in particular is going to play out in PVP.
Does it actually trap other players? Groups of players?

How?! Lol
lol. For the moment, that's my plan as well. So you have my blessing at least. Seem like some really clever goodies and I always, always prefer to have physical products for console games unless it's some enormous savings or something.
It's the digital CE that seems to be complete nonsense to me.
Great so begin the reverse psychology as early as possible I say. Tell them they are not to see each other and they'll simply never have your approval even if they say they're in love.

Xbone player here... I used to suck pretty badly... But Trials has made me a hell of a lot better of a player overall haha. Forced to play smarter. It's been a boon.

Yup, it traps groups of players in the area of the shot. no jumping, nades or supers

Direct hit kills. nearby players (and the hunter himself) can be chained down from it.

Already decided to shard 2 Ice Breakers once I get home. I love it, but I just don't use it all that much to justify keeping 3 of those.
It's luck. You plan when you're going to start a match, and hope that you get matched up.

From the Rift gameplay I've seen, it seems like only direct impact will kill someone and then it strings together nearby players, who will be moving really slow.
So, it seems to be more of a support super, as it also negates enemy supers.
Edit - Double beaten ^
I kind of find that hard to believe when the majority of Destiny players are on PS4.

Oh man, I can hear the gnashing of teeth already. Nobody likes to be restrained like that so you don't see these kinds of abilities much in PvP. I'd rather be insta-killed personally (the usual result of enemy supers pointed my way ;p).
This move'll be the armor lock of Destiny. Looks bad-ass tho.

If I see it anywhere else I'll let you know too.
As for Skolas, no pressure. We'd just like to get through 1 with you too.
If game ever sent me a woman I'd be really wary, couldn't help but think she would probably maim or murder me. That would be the equivalent of their customer service.

Between that and the smoke bomb that turns your screen solid black... expect a lot of hate. The movement debuff seems to be just like Gulrot in that you can barely move forward/sideways but you can still jump normally (base jump, not special jump).
Quantity does not always equate to better.

Keep in mind the people trapped can still shoot you. Iv already watched a vid where players killed a void Hunter while trapped.
Yeah, a 3rd would be good.

Seems like the Titan flashbang would already do that - just white instead of black. Love them flashbangs.
And again on that new Hunter super - I think that one tiny moment in the trailer of the Hunter soaring 30 feet in the air winding up her void bow shot must have sold a ton of pre-orders for TKK alone.
That's a little better. Can you turn in place?

Yeah they were just moving slowly.

I tired to use Messenger and I thought it is average... people kill me first.
I didn't even try to level up.

As a titan who has tried to use the flashbang in PvP. They don't do shit.
Smoke bombs can be stuck to walls for proxy detonation.
Yeah, a 3rd would be good.
I'll go. What's your PSN?
Kor of Memory

If you didn't level it up, why even bother giving it a chance? The perks are what make up like 50% of the weapon.
Same as here.
Edit: nevermind.

I saw your post about it being available and went to order it and then saw the final total and came to the same conclusion. I'll just pay the extra $20 for the in game CE stuff.
The vanilla CE box is sitting on my shelf untouched. I don't need another dust magnet.
Flashbang is super useful in Trials while in tight corridors.
I'm more interested in seeing the result of using the new Hunter super on your own team.

If it doesn't fell good on my hand why I will level it up lol
BTW I don't remember losing an one-to-one to a messenger in Trials... or any other Pulse.

Seems to me that the new Hunter subclass is going to be almost useless in PvP. You're relying on your teammates to DPS, meanwhile the people are are slowed can still kill you. Unless I am missing something. Does it deal damage in addition to slowing you?

It outright kills the person you stick with it, and tethers surrounding targets, and I think does a small bit of damage as well?
But yeah if you miss your shot or don't follow up with a shotgun or a grenade, or don't have teammates nearby, you're not going to have a good time.
Seems very powerful... But under a particular set of circumstances.
I'm not sure but I know there is the tether ability where the damage you deal to one opponent is inflicted on other's that you have latched on to.
It does equate to the odds of better players being on a system.
If one system has 100 players and another has 1000, there is more likely to be better players in the pool of 1000.
Some dude tried flashbangs on my team and still lost. Didn't really rush us after flashing us. Guess they weren't confident of his nade abilities. The flash also wears off pretty quickly so not useful at all.

The void bow in Trials. No running away.

1) It needs the perfect stability upgrade for it to "feel" right.
2) So what? You only play with weapons that every else is using?
The flash duration lasts depeding on the proximity to the detonation. It can last for 2 seconds max. usually less than a second

I've gotten myself killed through bad throws (read: blinded my damn self) so they have to be at least kinda useful.

Oh, I know those feels. Feels good man.

No. I play weapons I like.
My issue with Messenger was not stability but I will try again.
I think it comes from Xbox having the "shooter box" reputation. The COD/HALO crowd was more on 360 and while many migrated to PS4, I still think the pool of players on XB1 have greater FPS experience compared to PS4 players.
