To be fair at least, most of the B points are a bitch to capture like I said. If you're outgunned heavily, you're simply never going to do it. Can't try to push to A/C either since you'll just flip the spawns and immediately lose the other. Noobs flipping the spawns is probably a bigger pain to me in a close match anyways since I can at least understand why the match turns into a shitfest when the game is one sided.

What sucks even more is that shadestep is an awesome counter to the sunbreaker's super: managed to dodge 3 or 4 hammers yesterday on my sole IB match by using it.
I main warlock, always preferred glide over blink and I dealt with blink shotguns just fine. Not having blink doesn't mean you can't counterplay that stuff. Bubble popping with GG's and Nova's did balance bubble tho, you couldn't e.g. cap point camp so easily with it.
Not sure how these two things are equal to the fact that sunbreaker is borderline godmode that doesn't give flying fuck about getting shots to head, throws nuclear warheads and gets all HP back from single kill.
Edit:
I play as stormcaller now. You need have good timing on its use to get kills with it. Range isn't that great and you take full damage from enemy fire. Get close and pull trigger? Yeah, it devastates.

Thanks to both of you guys for coming along. Definitely one of my smoothest yet. Best parts were Hudson refusing to let me shoot the bosses.
I really have to figure out how to not die if I have the aura thing at the warpriest. Both time I had it I was dead within 3 seconds.
Twas a great run though. You were so close to flawless.
No, they just love me

Sorry posting for a new page.
It's these new maps man.
Almost all of them have a 360 field of vision where you can get shot at B.
With the old maps there were strategic choke points. This allowed a not-so-good-at-killing-team to get the upper hand by playing smart.
Now you -need- to be able to out-gun the enemy or else you'll immediately lose B, and then fall behind on points.
I'm glad that I have friends that I play IB with. I can't imagine running solo. We always have like 3~ spots on the train so I'll def post up later for anyone who is needing a team.

I know! I love that shit. I really enjoy playing nightstalker all around (aside from the non-lethal grenades). I had a perfect tether on black shield on the outside heavy ammo, managed five kills on my own. It was so fun.
But, I want to win in trials, and I don't know if nightstalker is the best way to accomplish that.
We'll see this weekend.

Once we start grinding for 330, you can shard all the sub 310 stuff. #makingtoughdecisions
Personally, it's my favorite shotgun for PvE. It rips through enemies, even if their shield isn't arc. I use it on shield bros with my titan. Fly in and punch a bro, then unload all 5 shots.

I'd stay well clear of it. From my experience most people on it are horrible and impatient.
It's amazing for pve. It used to be better pre nerf obviously.
Just get close and unleash all 5 shells for massive dps.
For pvp though it's not worth it.
All of the old maps have a pretty open B as well, just look at stuff like Cauldrin/Anomaly, burning shrine was pretty open from the outside, shores of time was horribly lopsided.
This. I remember getting Blade Danced out of my Fist of Havoc, even though I popped it first. Payback's a motherfucker.
I'm sharding based upon perks first, power second. I think in gonna have to shard some year 1 raid weapons too.
I'll join if you think we can get it started in the next hour or so

I think I might have found the gun that works for me in Crucible: Boolean Gemini.
Stable, hits hard, and has decent rate of fire.
It's the closest I've felt to the MIDA so far in year two.

If I can do it, you can surely do it.

Cauldron = You have doorways you know they need to come through
Anomaly = You had 3 directions but they were all in plain sight, the last one down the ramp you could keep track of via radar
Burning Shrine = you had that giant pillar in the center and the two huge walls in the direction of outside to narrow the field of vision in front of you. You also had the rotating hazards on the left/right giving you time to recoup.
Shores of time = 3 points, 1 of them was a risk because it forced you to jump out onto a platform. Realistically you only ever had to check in the direction of the A flag and the outside area near Heavy.
Yes, the old maps you usually could get attacked from any side.. but that's the thing, you had SIDES to choose from. North East South West. Now you have 360' field that you can't keep up with. By the time you realize the direction you're being shot from you're dead.

You got a pack of emotes from the postmaster yesterday if you bought the digital CE before e3, including three legendary five dollar emotes one of which is not for sale yet.
If you bought it afterwards then you had been warned.

We (my raid buddies and I) decided last night that raid weapons were eligible for sharding.
They will never allowing ascending again, and if they do ever decide that VoC or Fatebringer has a place in the endgame again, we will probably have to get them all over again.
Unless you use them for regular Crucible, only nostalgia stands in your way.
As someone who mains warlock it's far from funny that Y1 was about getting fucked over by Bladedancers [that are somewhat counterable without super] and now Y2 looks like year where warlocks get fucked over by Sunbreakers [next to uncounterable atm].
Am I only one who wants PvP to feel balanced and fun where you don't feel like you have to use class X and weapon Y to have any fun?
Did you reach level 30 with any character or own the first two expansions?

Warpriest hates me. Around 8 clears of WP and still zero heavy weapon drops.
Also for some reason I can't get any blue heavy weapons drops over 296. The game refuses to give me any.

I hit a Sunbreaker last night with two shotguns blasts. He hit me with his hammer and ran away with his health regenerating. It was not fun.
I will be leveling up my Titan next week.

we got 8 emotse for free.
Didn't own the expansions. Completed VoG, so probably around 29-30 on 3 characters. However, a buddy of mine who was only 28 on his character (we raided together) and didn't own the expansions got an all black shader, said that was the source.
Regardless, I completed end-game content during year 1, beat VoG first week it was out. Guess I'm not getting it.
Also, why are not all emblems in the emblem kiosk? There's a green one Eva sold during year 1, a circle inside a hexagon, white on black, can't remember the name, but it's not in the kiosk.

Match ended with me at 6/7 kills four fucking times so far. This is rage inducing.
Edit; The precision part makes it stupid as hell.
me pls
techn1colors
You're already on the list to go mate, no worries
.Still 2 spots open if anyone wants in.
This could relate to what I was saying about the live team being out of touch with the endgame. They're clearly not actually engaged with endgame/1%er stuff, so maybe they read the /r/DestinyTheGame as Cliff's Notes?
Since they're missing actual perspective, they can't see why stuff like this really a problem for 99% of players. Same with people having hundreds of strange coins. If even 10% of players have ever hit 3 digits for stange coins, I'll eat my hat.

But how?? Im waking the hive and getting 7 headshots in a row seems impossible with these moving thralls.
And do i have to get 7 precision sprees on crucicble with this awful handcannon? If so, rip.
I think 2 hammers drop a bubble. Then they have 4-5 left to hammer you and anyone in the bubble.
Darknyss09

You need 7 headshot kills with the shitty hand cannon in a single game. Oh and good luck getting in a match that's not half way over.
Well if you've fulfilled the criteria (which includes owning TTK) there should be a Veteran's Tour quest from Zavala that will give you the VIP rewards (black shader, sparrow, etc.). Though I believe that shader should also just show up in your Shader Collection if you're eligible.

Ha! I barely missed it that round, and I said screw it. I'll need a kind soul to jump into rumble with me so I can get some easy kills.
