Man, it really sucks I can't level up equipment that I don't currently equip. It's annoying that once I've fully upgraded a (sweet) talent tree I get a new and better gun, but for a couple of hours it's inferior because it lacks the upgrades. It's kind of annoying in general how you just constantly get better gear from every drop, all the way up to the level cap, and then the whole "Legendary Engram" problem starts.

Once most people realized that shotgun is a one-two kill it's very common now. If it bothers you that much then keep away from tight spaces/corners and if you see a red dot that isnt immediately next to you use AR.

Pro tip: complete bounties with your old gear, and switch to the new stuff when you turn it in. Instant levelup for anything sub legendary.

Yo the thorn may very well be the ugliest gun in the game, it looks like a melted polygon with green glowstickers and a goodyear tire cylinder which the hammer doesn't even come near to striking.

Just got a legendary engram helmet from crucible which turned into my first legendary item...too bad I'm a warlock and it is for a titan. Absolutely maddening.

But then Karl wouldn't have anything to bitch about. He's expecting Halo out of Destiny.

Shotguns in Halo worked better imho. Maps were way more open and mobility was way less than in Destiny, so if somebody was using shotgun and not sticking to small hallways/spaces then they were idiots and could easily be killed from afar.

I've found something similar with snipers in the moon map here. They can hang around the backside of B, hiding behind the rock from the turret, and get plenty of people killed before they can reach them.

Seeing some of the posts here....I feel like I should no longer care about how well I do in PvP (although I wish I wasn't bad at it). Maybe its easier to "AFK" a match and just reap the rewards.

I got an exotic.
It's a titan helmet.
I'm a warlock...

Blam! you Bungie!

this is exactly why I'm not spending my motes of light on the exotic engram unless it's specifically a primary weapon. Considering that the only weapon I wouldn't be thrilled about is the burst rifle, chances are in my favor since I want AR or hand cannon but would be fine with scout rifle as well.

Bungie is known for punishing people who are doing stuff like this. Personally I'd do it too if it wasn't for their history of punishing people for abusing broken systems

Had an epic control match, first PVP in probably 25 hours playing lol. Team down 6000 points so I took over b in first strike and fought off 5 waves of the other team coming in. Went stealth and knifed one dude. Stealth again and grenade shotgun rushed the next. Then went ninja when they sent 4 of their guys to B while the rest of the team went for the other 2 points. Activated Arc Blade and air danced around fire killing all 4 of them. Was so much fun. We ended up winning the match by like 400 points lol

Pretty much. My friends went and jumped off a map the whole time and one got a blue engram from it. Your screwing over your team, but it's bungies fault in the end for the dumb loot system. Just make sure you rubber band your controller to not get kicked

They do? Ah well, guess I might as well try and do the best I can anyways. I hope they don't try to punish me if I'm just legitimately bad at pvp

Sounds like a good way to get banned from PVP.

Wow matching 2 against a Fireteam in Skirmish now bra-fudging-o Bungie!

Just happened 3 times now and then got disconnected when we finally got three. There has been a ton more issues over the last couple of days.

God's had his chance.
Watching the stream on youtube of a team going through the Raid and picking up chests willy nilly like whatever and EVERYONE popping legendary items, ascendant materials and quality random gear after every large encounter makes me insane.

I played for another like 5/6 hours yesterday. Just about to give up on the idea of "finding" good loot. I've got more special coins and motes than i fucking know what to do with. Just gonna throw up my hands and wait for fucking Xur.
