Ooooh yeah, I remember now lol. Didn't remember your PSN name.
I felt like I could have played better that match tbh.
Edit:
Wicked carrying.

Well in full disclosure, that was true. I was more going bonkers that he was reloading after EVERY shot with Patience and Time. It was making me get OCD, and I don't really have OCD. Like dude why ahhhhrrffgh and then one shot reload one shot reload it was like a No Land Beyond video review.
Yeah dude we totally wiped lol

I went there to take a look yesterday and they were completely off the rails, they should have seen it coming and settled down. Seems like there will be no more Halo OT? Apart from new games i mean.

As long as we don't post a lot of OT stuff, we'll be fine.
Halo OT took many years to get to 25. We haven't even completed one year yet
There aren't strict DPS differences but I'll try. I guess the hardest hitting Super in terms of sustained DPS would be a Sunsinger Warlock if you have high Discipline, you can throw about a dozen grenades during your Super. A dozen Fusion grenades will do a ton of damage on any target. Overall Supers don't do all that much damage in PvE and they're all overkill anyways in PvP so it doesn't matter much.
But classes in Destiny aren't differentiated so much in terms of how much damage they deal but rather what situations suit their dealing said damage.
Titan Striker: with its Shoulder Charge and charging AoE Super, this is a class to be played aggressively. They have grenades which create "kill zones" enemies need to just move out of or die in. Dangerous when panicked. Not too useful for most PvE situations except for Flashbang Grenade's blinding capabilities (blind Omnigul and she's so docile).
Titan Defender: sadly its abilities don't shine in PvP but are top-tier in PvE. A sticky magnetic grenade deals a ton of damage - enough to kill in Crucible or tear away avoid shields + a lot of damage in PvE. No offensive option for Super. The bubble can give you Weapons of Light though which makes any high impact sniper a 1 body shot kill.
Hunter Bladedancer: Ultra useless super in PvE, best super in PvP. Such is life. This class has perks that really make it amazing for Crucible like Quick Draw (switch weapons and ADS more quickly, best freaking perk in the game) or super-strong backstab. For PvE you really only use BD for its invisibility. Going invis can make a risky revive possible. The super is useless outside of Crucible.
Hunter Gunslinger: this is a gentleman's class. Encourages precision killing with its perks and has a freaking fire knife you can throw. Golden Gun is great in Rucible but underwhelming in PvE. A Golden Gun shot won't kill a Major (yellow bar enemy). Often, even 3 shots won't do it
but Hunter grenades and melee are useful everywhere. Warlock void walker: his melee has crazy range and gives you health back or turns you into speedy Gonzalez. His grenades will track you down and kill you dead. He blinks. His space magic will blow you and your teammate the hell up. Really good offensive class, with some freakingn amazing Exotic armor options that totally make you more deadly.
Warlock Sunsinger: the bringers of cheese. Unlike a Defender, they don't even have to kill you with a melee to give then an overshield. They never lose boxing matches. Their fusion grenades stick and deal ridiculous damage. Don't feel like aiming? fire bolt grenade sets neighborhoods on fire. Want it to burn harder because fuck everyone? Viking + Touch of Flame. Used defensively their Super literally brigs you back from the dead. But only scrubs do this in normal Crucible. Pack Radiant Skin to be Superman and pop your Super while alive, then go deliver death. Your melee hits will one shot and you'll have enough grenades to kill everyone and everything in and out of sight. All of this sounds cool? It is. Sadly, their jump is more awkward than a dog competing for Olympic gymnastics, making this otherwise amazing class a trash-tier horror to be avoided. No jump means no love from me.

Won't be able to hear any instructions if you start bleeping words out.

The jump really is that shit lol. It fucks up everything else.
Wait what...? Off-Topic?
Yikes
well damn. Now there... is no HaloGAF community thread? That sort of sucks... At first I thought it seemed totally unnecessary, but I guess based on the last few page of that thread it would be more appropriate for them to have an Off-Topic thread simply based on being the community of people that belong to it (rather than the game), similar to what we did with the RealGAF thread following the initial real pic January.ModBot said:
Still, I'll be even more conscious of veering into off-topic conversation from now on, I guess.
Let me know via PM or PSN when it's gonna be. If it's after ~4PM EST I can be there.
The super can give you invisibility. There's no need to go spreading lies now. ^_^
Finally, still 3 spots left for the Newbie VoG tomorrow.
--
Thursday, 7/9/15 - 9:00PM EST - Vault of Glass - Normal - Sign Up Here (3 spots left)
These are weekly raids available to all, but intended for newbies. Bring your highest leveled character, your best weapon, and your most patient self! All encounters will be explained (quickly, but still) as though it was a brand new group, so please be willing to listen. The only restriction on attendance is that participants shouldn't come two weeks in row, just to allow many different GAF Guardians to cycle through. There is no pressure to understand anything before having it explained, and no pointing fingers when things break down. We will laugh at ourselves when we wipe, and then do better the next attempt.
We alternate each week between VoG and CE. During Crota's End newbie raids, participants are welcome to try out the Sword against Crota if desired, but no one is required to do so. Instructions will follow upon reaching the Crota checkpoint.
Minimum level for Vault of Glass Normal is 26.
Minimum level for Crota's End is 29/31 for running the sword.

Thanks fig
JP are you on PS4? If yes, you can join the newbie raid planned for this weekend.
Or join Hakian's raid tomorrow, though you'll need to level up quick

What? Being able to go invisible at the press of a button makes it super useful, especially when invisibility is Bladedancer's best perk for PvE. The super itself is good for trash mobs.
Hunter Gunslinger: this is a gentleman's class. Encourages precision killing with its perks and has a freaking fire knife you can throw. Golden Gun is great in Rucible but underwhelming in PvE. A Golden Gun shot won't kill a Major (yellow bar enemy). Often, even 3 shots won't do it
Golden gun one-shots Fanatics in VoG, which are yellow bar enemies. 4 shots and combustion will take out a bunch at a time. It won't take out a Praetorian, but Strikers and Voidwalkers can't always kill with one hit either.
I too took umbrage, good fig.

Yeah.... We got junked to the Off Topic section, and then locked out entirely. HaloGaf is dad
long live Halo 5 OT soon
Fanatics don't count, you can one shot them with a Hand Cannon too
but yeah, I think the main point was that Supers in general don't do too much damage on PvE. Titan Smash, Nova Bomb, it's all fairly underwhelming. Super for invisibility is clutch, I should have been clearer there. I meant useless in terms of very little damage dealt and super poor orb generation.We have GhaelonEB and he'll keep us safe.
Thank you very much for that write-up!

Is it sad I want to call in sick so I can grind my Warlock...
I just played 3 PvP matches, control. I'm super handicapped with crappy guns. No match vs thorns and matadors/felwinters. Even my green sniper can't OHK with a headshot haha. But it's making me work extra hard with these weapons. Can't wait to use my main TLW / HB.
Level 9.75 now... It's on
I had to switch to void Walker because radiance isn't doing anything for me and I just unlocked nova bomb. Can't wait

rolled a judgement s chance this morning and got Shadow of the Viels. I now have all the POE guns except the fusion rifle.
I have all the CE guns except the fusion rifle
I have all the VOG guns except the fusion rifle
I dont know if this is funny or sad. But this game refuses to give me fusion rifles. Except in nightfalls where the game thinks its funny to give me crappy legendary fusion rifle after fusion rifle. I dont even like them.

Foil is the only one worth keeping, the CE FR is trash.
I thought Variks sold Servant of Aksor a few weeks ago?
He closed "Halo |OT19| 793 Posts, And None Worth Reading".
Gulp.
Rubenov told me that Split Shifter Pro was a good FR.

Hawkmooooooon!!!
Yesss!
As a filthy Xbone player and as hyped as I am for TTK, I'm still more hyped for Hawkmoon. :3
Halo OT doesn't help him with PoE!
Ruthless_Barbarian

We were only talking about the VoG, CE and PoE FR's.
I love Servant of Aksor and Light of the Abyss. I use them both regularly, wish one or the other was Void though.
I'd use the shit out of the Praetorian Foil too but it only drops for people who don't care about it.
Completely ludicrous. It does some of the most damage of any quick charge fusion and using Skip Rounds + Hip Fire is an absolute blast

I dont understand this. I thinks its pretty natural for a COMMUNITY that has grown accustomed to each other and become friends to have non-game friendly conversations with each other. It doesn't stop people talking about the game. It was all we had after bloodbourne released and Destiny OT was on life support.
TLW is awesome but doesn't really feel like a Hand Cannon. And while Thorn is super effective, there's a certain jank to its feel. Hawkmoon is the most satisfying to shoot weapon in the game for me.
It has that sweet spot Fatebringer-level RoF, but hits for Ill Will/Timur's Lash damage. Recoil is extremely easy to predict and correct for. Best sights in the game, getting head shots is a breeze. And then those 2-shots...

You can one-shot nearly all yellow bar enemies with Golden Gun that aren't the the Praetorian/Captain/Ogre/Colossus type. Depends entirely on what level they are and whether it's a NF or not.

Fridays: 18:00 to 1:00
Saturdays: 15:00 to 3:00
Sundays: 17:00 to 21:00
GMT+1, unless something takes priority (I don't exaclty have a great social life, so it always takes full priority.
Midweek I can't promise. Right now I am so tired that I am blacking out with the gamepad slipping of my hands. Just did the lvl 26 heroic strike and I barely knew what I was doing. Midweek is a problem between time available and being too tired after work.
Let us all join the WishYouLuck movement and switch over to Pulse Rifles. Let's fix the Meta...
So far Messenger, TLW and Thorn are what I go with now depending on maps and the competition.

Sure, I'm down. I can work with the red death and messenger if needed
Just going to take a little while to get used to them again.
Same here. Nothing else feels right.

I actually liked that editorial. thought it was very insightful. Am I addicted to Destiny? probably. But I dont think its a problem. Its never interfered with real life for me. Its not like I call in sick to work to play or let my kids go hungry. It has saved me a couple hundred $$ over the last year though on games I would have bought on launch day but didn't.

It dropped for me and I cared. Haven't really used it though.....

Anyone of you magnificent people up for Prison of Elders om 35?
It would interest me what people who have both Thorn and The Last Word perfer overall
I thought so to. But to say that Destiny is the ONLY game at fault on hooking it's players is kinda BS. And who's to say that no one else is going to follow suit. Look at The Division.
Try it on Oracles at least next time you find yourself in VoG.

That happened to me and Todd once when we were playing Skirmish. Thankfully, we won.

I still feel like the golden gun is a little weak in PvE, and we all know that the bladedancer super is nearly useless in PvE.
The only reason I ever really use the bladedancer super in PvE is to be able to force invis for a while longer, but as far as damage goes.... it sucks :/
Man I don't know though.
Quickly 2 bursting snipers with the Messenger on Pastrami Palace is pretty satisfying.
