Too true, but if Trials didn't "do my head in" when I lose, it wouldn't be so sweet every time I win (and still an impossibly good thrill every time I see that Mercury cutscene).
I have a Void Scholar, and it's easily the best Void Primary in the game. Sharded my Word of Crota as soon as I put the Scholar through the paces. Perfect Balance+Outlaw make it a killing machine, especially with it's high impact for a scout rifle.
I want to love my Void Messenger, but I'm not good enough with it to activate that emotion.
Today is that dayNope, 2 hunters and a Titan now. Having a warlock is the only thing stopping me from getting platinum in destiny
I just can't delete my other Hunter, I need 2 lol.
Maybe one day...
Lack of custom mode is the most puzzling decision ever. Makes no sense especially coming from Bungie.

Only reason I can see no custom games is the way it will split the player base. Less people will go into the standard playlists. But even still the player base is big enough to handle that.
Other games do fine, including Halo. Their decision when it comes to game modes often makes no sense and the reason that it will split the user base is not really an answer. If that was a legit reason then no game would have more than one or two modes...lol
Look at Elimination mode for example, the entire reason why anyone would want that mode is so as to play Elimination when trials is not on...it makes no sense to make an alternative to a limited event limited in itself.

I tried using it in PoE Vex room but it didn't work pretty well for me. But yeah, probably it will turn into a great weapon after 2.0 patch.
Still, I want a sexy Void Scholar. Scout rifle is my favorite primary weapon class for PvE.

The answer here depends on a lot of factors. Most importantly:
-Team skill, experience, communication: For a team with 3 Trials virgins like you, Mercury would be basically impossible unless you're extremely skilled. For a team of 2 very experienced players and yourself, Mercury is very reasonable. These "carry trains" depart the station frequently and generally prioritize Mercury first timers.
-Lucky match making: Most Trials teams average ~50% win rate and ~1.0+ K/D. Some a little better, some a little worse. If you match against scrubs 7 times in a row, Mercury can be a breeze. If you match against Triple Wreck 7x it ain't gonna happen.
Yeah every exotic weapon and armor (excluding Bones) has been maxed for a while now. On one hand it's a "waste" of resources for a huge amount of gear I never use. On the other hand it's a video game and I enjoy having the collection, haha.
It sucks
all the awesomeness from every other PVE primary and forms the greatness known as Vision of Confluence.

Just shard it, totally worthless now...
FWIW, I have 3 ascended, it was the first weapon I spent an e-light on. Keep it, level and ascend it, and love it. Awesome gun
Nami knew all along.
I've been waiting for this buff since Hard Crota came out lol.
I actually switched to Defender on my Titan last night and my average number of kills per game didn't go down at all. Having the bubble + sticky grenade + Blessing of Light means that I could usually get a kill or two while the bubble was up versus anyone who was foolish enough to get close. I am soooo looking forward to the third sub-class for Titan's so that they will finally have an offensive, movement based super. Hopefully Bungie makes it as good as Bladedancer or there will be much salt.

I completely agree. I was just playing devils advocate. But I remember many of Titan falls playlists being empty very quickly. No one wants to spend ages matchmaking. Even if they rotated custom games in for 1 week a month it'd be better than what we have now
Got my nechro like 2 days before they announced the buff: I'm super excited! ^^
I've been running strikes with it daily in anticipation, lmao. Did omnigul last night and got 190 kills with it. My teammates got 36 and 88. It's so OP~ All kidding aside it will be so fun to use my auto rifles again.
Got my Crux on Monday, just need them to fix the Husk drop so I can get it ^_^
Gonna get double and triple kills in PVP with the explosion perk. I can feel it.
Yeah but I hope they don't kill TLW. It's still the coolest PVP weapon in the game imo.

I'm highly variable. Sometimes I can have awesome games ranging from 3-5 k/d, and others .68. I'm on now and will probably play for another hour or so. It be awesome if I could get some help
Sounds good, I'm sure we can find some people to get it done. Not sure if you have to get offline soon but I'll ask around and see who's available. I could do some more matches myself a bit later today or tonight or tomorrow depending on everyone's schedule.
Trials is really tough like that. So fun but so stressful. And it's always hard to play with new people if you're trying to help them. There's such a high skill ceiling that can really leave inexperienced players behind. Much stricter skill requirement than any PvE activity.
Blaze, DirtyAquaticApe and me just lost our final boss twice with 5-4 flag captures, it's disheartening
Reading this was physically painful to me, seriously. Gave me PTSD flashbacks to when I tried to help Kadey back on Thieves Den and we lost two final bosses, one to crazy laggers and one to a 5-4 flag capture. Maximum BibleThump.
Needs shot package and rifled barrel.
Do you have aggressive ballistics? And shot package is a very important perk for super competitive shotguns.

Teagbag after the first round. What could possibly go wrong? Kappa
I can hang around a bit if we can get a group
So what do you recommend as a really good roll?
That's because fist of panic is a shit super outside of panics and certain situations where enemies are unaware of you and in a bunch...so you weren't getting that many kills with your super anyway.
Sounds like a keeper then! Bungie please increase vault spaceJust shard it, totally worthless now...

Our OT titles should just be pleas to Bungie at this point.
OT27 pls don't ruin TLW in pvp
Aggressive Ballistics, Shot Package, Rifled Barrel and Knee pads for best possible setup. Though, you really need SP and AB at the least.
Bungie doesn't care about our feelings, Todd. They love to see us suffer and endure the agony of the unknown.

I got a spot for you on the Wicked-Rubenov train. One of the nicest, most reliable and most luxurious of DGAF transportation services.
What's your PSN? Are you ready to roll now? Be sure to get a fresh Passage at the Reef and buy all 3 boons.
Are you doing a 24 hour stream?
The difference is though that Titanfall didn't have as big of a playerbase as Destiny, not even close.
Yup!

Thanks so much!
Awesome. I'll vault it for now until I have more weapon parts

Lol sure. For every 10,000 Boguester Bucks donated, I'll stream another 24 hours.
I might try streaming a little today in preparation for the flawless HM VoG. We could make a multi twitch with Nami and Kadey at least.
Lightning Grenade proves yet again why it has no equal.
Keep your Tripmine. I'll stick with my lightning nades.

We lost the next round though.
