TBH though, I'm getting a little tired of GI's drip feed. I want to hear some actually important shit lol, like exactly how transition will play out etc etc.

Leave that to Bungie and their scheduled streams.

 

[AppleSeason]

Just got an Aries Ascendant (ship). Wow, those are some oversized thrusters.

 

[LTWood12]

Yes!

 

[everyday math]

The maps look well thought out and they're pretty diverse in design.

Spoiler

Ghost ship

and

Spoiler

Vertigo

have my attention.

 

[PuMa]

I'd love to see Trials expand to include Rift. I just really like what I'm seeing from that game type.

Inferno trials would be dicey

 

[phen0m24]

You! Are still here.

We will play again

It's up!

Does Ghost Ship remind anyone else of Midship from Halo 2?

 

[P44]

Leave that to Bungie and their scheduled streams.

Yeah, I guess I just dislike the BWU's (and Bungie more in general) weird tangle of news we should be hyped about and news that isn't really hype stuff but more mechanics .

 

[Simonnnnn]

Jade Rabbit looks like it hits hard, excited to get my hands on that. That Omolon Dead Orbit Scout looked sleek and decent as well!

No thank you :S

 

[sjay1994]

Kinda late to ask, but is anyone down for 32 and 34 PoE?

 

[FinKL]

One of the videos has the announcer saying "Double Kill" that's new, along with showing you headshots, and who you killed/assisted.

 

[Robdraggoo]

y-y-your BACK!

Welcome back ZOBA!

I'm up for a 34, if you're fine with me no mic-ing. If not we can go 32.

 

[Deku Tree]

Night stalker. It was shown with the original reveal I believe.

I don't mind, we will just need one more tho

It's been known for awhile. Hunters only on their new subclass.

Hello Zoba!! Missed you!!

K, PSN is PXLIV so fire off the invite when you got the third.

For sure! Can't believe how stable the Nechrocasm is on the Vertigo clip. And it actually kills!

 

[Robdraggoo]

can you do the roll at anytime or does it require the super to be active?

 

[Mindlog]

Just got an Aries Ascendant (ship). Wow, those are some oversized thrusters.

I'm a fan of all the guns.
It has more guns than Scorpio Miracle. I want Aries' guns on Scorpio Miracle.

All of my attentions.

Need one more for 34 PoE.

If possible, we can do 32 after

 

[AppleSeason]

Is 34 much worse than 32? I'm still at level 33, but I usually react poorly when swarmed by enemies. 100 hours of gameplay and I still suck at complicated situation or under pressure.

 

[Anoregon]

I kind of hate how Taken King hype and bungie rage are battling within me. I think it looks really good, but I haven't preordered (and I'm not sure I intend to buy at launch) because I am still butthurt that I have to spend $60 despite having already paid $80 for vanilla and HoW. I would feel very differently if I was able to buy the $40 digital upgrade without essentially wasting another $20 on TDB.

Basically I just really don't like the idea of being forced to buy The Dark Below (which I have even less interest in now than I did when I opted to not buy it months ago) in order to rock out to that TK goodness. It's a business choice that really rubs me the wrong way, despite $20 not actually being that big of a deal.

 

[AmateurHour212]

what the hell was that HUNTER SMOKE ROLL?!?!

GI videos are up?

Didn't know what you were talking about... Watched videos...

Now I'm all like "what the hell was that HUNTER SMOKE ROLL?!?!"

 

[Navy Bean]

It's been known for awhile. Hunters only on their new subclass.

As if blinking QuickDraw hunters weren't annoying enough...lol. Next we'll get the blink slide shotty.

 

[Haybro]

Oh my...

Can't wait to try out that new subclass.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I wish they would have just created a firefight mode on the PVP maps instead of the abortion that is POE that we got.

smoke backstab will make me rage.

 

[Simonnnnn]

For sure! Can't believe how stable the Nechrocasm is on the Vertigo clip. And it actually kills!

I'm gonna have some fun with it come September, and to think everyone I play with laughed at me when i went to the effort to get it earlier this year.

In that video the Jade Rabbit crits for 73. The Omolon/Dead Orbit (!) one in Memento video crits for 61. So you're right!

 

[Ikkarus]

can you do the roll at anytime or does it require the super to be active?

Anytime but I imagine it will have a cool down like blink otherwise stuff might get crazy.

Some peeps played with the class at Gamescom though so they could confirm.

 

[ocean]

Your HUDless gallery must be expanded Zoba. It must.

 

[todd360]

As soon as i'm done eating dinner/ watching new naruto episode I will watch these pvp videos.

 

[PuMa]

Smoke roll OP. Bungie pls nerf.

 

[Theorry]

That evade. Hunter master race confirmed again.

I've been dealing with those same feelings since they announced the price. I'm considering selling the vanilla version to get the legendary edition, but I'd probably wouldn't get more than 10€ at game

I love scouts, especially in PvE, I love the MIDA in PvP though, so I'm hoping it is good to use in PvP

 

[sjay1994]

Looking for one more for PoE 34, possibly do 32 after

Puma knows. I need to watch these videos, but there's this work nonsense happening right now.

[Lee]

There was a PvE video that showed a hunter doing it twice in rapid succession. So likely it's a 2 charge with a cooldown like blink.

Found a gif, but it only shows one roll. I think I'm wrong.

From the skill tree (which might have changed) it looks like you double tap O or B - https://i.imgur.com/RWVbup5.jpg

YO! Hunter ate a purple smoke Logia! YES YES YES!
