It fit perfectly. Nothing about that trailer was serious that's it required a serious tone. Unlike the other one.

The counter to shotguns is to also be a guy with a shotgun. Just make sure its a high impact one with range maximised, anything else can't compete. The thing that gets ignored is that a shotgun user can in half your TTK go from short-midrange into their shotguns effective range and kill you before you even put a dent in them. They have to be pretty freaking far for their sliding and jumping antics to not work and at that point they wouldn't be using a shotgun.

Yea it's better for the live action trailers, but i dunno why they used the same song after the first one.
Last year's trailer was more hype but this one had some stunning visuals.

Also just noticed Banner fall has an area inside each base with an interactable "Open Hanger Door"/"Close Hanger Door"
Saint-14, drop from above... Lord of Wolves... Pocket Infinity...
I don't understand how this is a Warlock fusion rifle.
...I don't understand how this is a Hunter sniper rifle.
That was actually a really cool live action trailer!
Titan, the poster boy for 2.0. Can't wait for 3.0, year of the Warlock.
I have no problem with the tone. I just don't like it there. Might as well be Back in Black.

This Fulcrum is the best Hand Cannon roll I've used after the balance changes.
After Hammer Forged was nerfed, Small Bore gives it better range, stability, and reload than Hawkmoon. And it has far better Aim Assist.
Ayyyy
Looks like I need to reroll my Fulcrum today.
Don't want to because I'm already sitting on a good roll, but that one looks godly.
I think I prefer one with Icarus and Hipfire though. Gotta have my Ghandi hop.
For real? I've still seen plenty over the last couple of days. All I've done is patrols for the new bounties and played some Rift.
Just saying that I know they are out there still. But sounds like they've turned the tap on low this week.
That sucks though. I'm around to play this week if you need a body for PoE or raids.
**********
I was just doing some patrols on the moon and the three Fallen Dregs are still down under the surface and the door to The Shrine of Oryx was open.
You can go all the way into the Shrine now. There are some Hive hanging out but nothing special is going on there.
Yet......
Remember Hawkmoon with Aggressive Ballistics hits a full impact class above. Stats wise it'll look like a Fulcrum or Red Hand, but it hits for Ill Will / Timur's Damage - and that's without the 3 lucky shots.This Fulcrum is the best Hand Cannon roll I've used after the balance changes.

I have this roll too and I love it btw
Just saying to prevent people from thinking Hawkmoon is now a regular ass HC. It's got mid tier RoF but still had impact like a low RoF HC.

It's put me just below on completing the likes of Nightfall and the Hard Weekly for coins which I wanted to do for Xur. I'd probably have no effect on Crotas hard or Skolas since my offense and defense is too weak. It's put me in an awkward spot.
In the past month I haven't even got a purple drop or any blues which turned purple lol. Heck I've got probably got more exotics than purples this month.
Oh shoot. It does say kills.
Totally. Rolling one for Icarus and Hipfire too. It already has high AA, so Hidden Hand is not super important. And LitC is too unreliable if you don't run Final Round and a mag reducing perk (which doesn't combo well if you're going for the Icarus/accuracy build).
So, yeah. One Mini-moon and one air-capable, accurate version coming up.

Found me a startscreen for my vita!
Check the emblems on the sides of the weapons. Also they are quest based.
I totally forgot about that stuff even though I've done it this week. Totally fair point.

Except that, after AgBalls was nerfed, that extra damage only kills someone with super low armor (read: NO upgrades according to folks on Crucible Playbook) in two headshots with a Moon. It's not good any more. Might as well use the Legendary, free up the exotic, and use a gun with better handling, AA, and range.
Don't know the name, but I love it as well.

Hawkmoon is still top tier. Saying anything else is simply misinformation.

Ehhh it might be useful for the beginning missions of TTK or just join up with people
The majority of all my exotics are maxed out before there was the extra level up slot to boost damange. So more specifically I should have asked, is there any use for exotic shards in TTK? Will new exotics still require them or are exotic shards strictly limited to year 1 leveling?

Posted very rarely in these OT's but probably read lurked through all 30.
Stopped playing around lvl28 warlock before expansions dropped but picked this up again recently in last couple of weeks.
Logged in last night and my warlock is now lvl34 and light lvl169.
It feels good to be back.

Yes you still need Exotic Shards. Keep them.

Must resist buying this new Cayde-6 shirt on the Bungie Store...
Hah, thanks for rounding these up. I like how you can tell from the titles alone how the game evolved, and when the community turned (even) more positive toward the game. What a ride year 1 was.
Movie when?

While good I don't feel like the recoil is justified anymore with its reduced range. Compare it the smoothness of firing Thorn or pretty much any other hc
I like how from 21 onward, the OTs have had diamonds in them to represent light levels. Would've been great if the last OT was 34 and we began Year 2 with OT35.
I don't know if I necessarily regret dropping the game like I did though - it's definitely better than what it was back in the day.

Yep, comes up a ton in rift!
I just had to make a gif out of this moment from the japanese Destiny commercial. Any suggestions on what kind of text I should add on?

Movie or book series give me either.
Anyone who says arcbolt grenades are "beast" in their current form earns a paddlin'.
I had much, much better success with Field Choke than Aggressive Ballistics on 2.0 Hawkmoon.Remember Hawkmoon with Aggressive Ballistics hits a full impact class above.

I guess Zoba's posts about Jewel outclassing it are propaganda too.
Hammer Forged took away it's best strength, range. It had low AA before, but the range made up for it. That's what gave Hawkmoon its distinctive feel.
With less range, worse stability, and bad AA compared to the Jewel, Fulcrum, Red Hand, and others, Hawkmoon's ability to two shot super low armor targets doesn't justify its use over the latter group.
I'm not even saying that the Final Round and LitC is what's good about the Fulcrum. I'm saying Smallbore gives it the range and stability that was robbed from Hand Cannons as an archetype and pushes it past a threshold of useability where it just feels good. And most HCs don't feel good anymore.
Exactly. Range is what it sorely needs. And AgBalls doesn't hit the way it used to. It doesn't kill most targets in two hits (according to folks on Crucible Playbook). This is what I'm saying--you're better off with a good roll of Devil You Know, Red Hand, High Fixer, Fulcrum, or the Jewel.

And when the community was negative towards the game, OTs 8-13. Haha. Those were the days.

Year 3 will be our Destiny.
True. But to this effect, there's no benefit to using something at the Fatebringer/Fulcrum impact class. A Revelator-impact HC requires the same amount of shots despite the impact difference and boasts higher RoF, for better time to kill. This low impact tier of HCs is ideal right now but I'm not sure I kept any other than Word of Crota.
And Thorn of course, which is still its scumbaggy old self. 3 body shot kill with a primary is dirty as hell.

Pfft... should have been in the original live action trailer...
Content was obviously edited out of the original and sold back to us now.
Last I heard she was getting unwanted attention around here and got a new account that doesn't display her gender.
