I have lord of wolves and queenbreaker's bow. Both are very unique, look and sound great but are not OP. I think both are fun to use. They have so much ammo you can use it almost like a primary.

I've heard that as well, however I think the Tower is too small. You have have like 16 slots in the tower. Going in with a couple people already lowers that number. What are the chances the remaining 13 people (max) in the tower want to play what you want? The way the tower works, a lot of them are probably just there for 2 minutes or afk.
I think if they introduced an LFG system in game, it would have to be broader than just who is in the tower with you.
Thanks! I love using shotguns, so I'll probably pick that one up.
/ for reals, the gun will probably just collect dust in my vault.

Disgusting is a pretty harsh word but I can also sympathize with the problem. Speaking as probably the only person dumb enough to actually read every post, the OTs move at a ridiculous pace and it takes a ton of time to keep up.
The MM issue has been discussed many times, always with the same conclusion. MM amongst ourselves is an important part of this community and would still exist even if more in-game MM was added since we like playing together. MM is also not always disconnected from discussion, e.g. "So what's the deal with these Triumphs? Can someone help me beat Skolas?"
LFG is a big part of DGAF but sometimes it's exaggerated. Look at the last few pages and there's very little LFG but plenty of discussion. A lot of great information from experienced players for anyone that cares enough to read it. Ultimately that's what I want most for DGAF:
(1.) A supportive, inclusive community for LFG
(2.) A knowledgeable player base for intelligent discussion
I'm thinking of going back to my Messenger.

It's not like Red Death is a bad weapon or anything. Besides over 50% of his kills are shotgun anyway.

The farther away you are, the better.
It's spotty right now. Sony Support tweeted a while ago that there was some issues.
Would that be an outside source or something inside GAF?
I was thinking the same thing last night, but it would require alot pf adjustments from my Hand cannon style.
Very true. But he's movement is just so twitchy, it's crazy.
That's the plan...but it seems to go to shit within 20 seconds lol.
Lord of Wolves is the weapon with the most utility in PvE (what I play). It's a bit under Fourth Horseman for exotic shotgun DPS, which makes it a monster at close range. It also has the advantage of a clip based reload (like a pulse rifle) rather than one shell at a time. Very useful in PoE especially. I use it like a primary against Cabal. It also holds a lot of ammo as compared to regular shotguns. I think it's a genuinely great gun.
Queensbreaker Bow is more interesting than good, IMO, at least for PvE. It has two scopes you can toggle that change it from a long range to mid range weapon, which is very handy. And like LoW it carries a ton of ammo. But the relatively low damage as compared to a sniper rifle, coupled with the charge time, makes it less of a go-to and more something to use if you want something different to play around with.
The sidearm is pretty awful. I have not found a use for it yet at all.

Hah! That was great, perfect song choice and timing too.
BIGGIE SMALLS, EAST COAST REPRESENT.
When I started using pulse rifles again I had a hard time adjusting, I'm so used to getting close shooting people with TLW/SG.
Now I keep my distance, move around slow, pick off targets in the distance, and try to avoid close encounters

Yeah that's the issue with a lot of supposed weapon balancing. The real "probelm" is how movement mechanics and especially blink work. Maybe you've got a great position on me with Messenger across the map but I can be in your face with 2 blinks in about 3 seconds. I'm really curious to see how the blink nerf affects Crucible, more than any weapon changes.

Yeah, he's also got a shotgun :Kappa:
He's entertaining as hell to watch tho. Especially when he's double carrying in Trials.
Haha, yeah it depends on the map too, I suppose.
Definitely part/most of the issue. They need to increase the cool-down on Blink. Hopefully that's the nerf they've alluded to.

I need to work on my Red Death game.
Also, being killed in IB/Curcible with a Hopscotch...it feels bad man. Still want one. So salty.
DrDrizzay101

Yes, from what I understand that's exactly what their doing. I think increasing the cool down between the first and second blinks although I'm not sure exactly on the details.

Try running with a team where half of them has a Hopscotch and only uses it because they know you don't have it XD

Opinions about Fusion Rifles in PvP?
I think Bungie needs to think of the bigger picture. If you put something in the game thinking it will work well but it ends up being like blink or the current state of shotguns, you need to act on it. I'd comment on how long it's taken them to not only address these issues, let alone implement fixes, but I'll save that for another time.
Blink is straight up broken. Shot package and Rangefinder on shotguns is straight up broken. When there are things like this in the game, just remove them completely. This game is going to be around for ten years, supposedly. I don't want to put up with this shit for that long.

They were good before the nerf and when shotguns weren't completely OP. Just ok now.
Shotguns without shot package or range finder still kill with ridiculous ease.
I feel that shoguns shouldn't be a one shot kill at all, unless every pellet hits the brain.
What's wrong with a two shot minimum body shot kill?

Terrible for now
Youll want any perk that focuses on accuracy and charge time
Those precious miliseconds in close quarters are lost when you are juggling between aiming and charging and it gets really hard to follow or lead your target
That said they work amazing in cover and corridors and even better if you are in a corridor with midrange and cover.
I still consider them mostly PvE weapons but there are certain Fusions that can kick serious ass with the right setups

Point blank to 4 meters away it should be a one shot kill. Beyond that damage should
Drop off quickly. To the point where it only tickles at the current max range a matador etc can kill.
It'll make fusions more viable to charge in the time it takes to close the gap.
There should be a time penalty for readying weapons whilst blinking.

YES! 1st nightfall = Voidfang Vestments. Resurrected Warlock is happy.
2nd nightfall = 3rd Khepri's String. The only HoW gear to drop on nightfall for me, and 3x at that
3rd) Legendary HEAVY Engram... could it be... GHorn (Which Grim got from that 3rd nightfall)... nope Pacifier. Almost pulled the hat trick
Nightfall on Wednesday = Win. Winsday

I've thought about it a lot and it feels like it works best being inside Gaf. Personally I like having everything in one place but that has downsides of being too hard to keep up with for most people.
If we fragment things out to other places I worry that they won't stay supported. Even that other Gaf thread for MM died out since everyone just kept posting here.
