Luke tweeted that they know NF rewards are garbage now. Hope they fix it asap cuz it's not worth playing right now.
Edit: Unstable pls

Lol nice, you adding some background music to your streams? Groovy.
You doing more Banner tonight or NS cheaters make it not worthwhile? I guess we already did today's bounties.

The worst/best/worst thing about the current meta is that there's no counter to shotguns in close range. Shotguns are a low skill weapon that excel with good spacial awareness and movement.
Basically, skating absolutely destroys right now.

What's the deal with 3 X 3500xp IB bounties? One iron wrath bounty was worth almost that. We only have tomorrow, then trials starts which I hope has better rewards than IB.

last time I was doing pvp for stuff, i went 3 and 18 playing with randoms.
that's not a typo.
3 wins....18 losses. Winning didnt really matter for my needs at the time, but still...pretty ridiculous run.

Yeah, outside of the few people teleporting and the fucking wankers that were shadowshot glitching it was somewhat fun, won 14/17 games. Shame I got shit drops from it all but whatever.
I'll be down for some more Banana tonight.

Which weapons are dropping this season?
I'll be back on IB in a little bit. PSN: Catfax
Unstable, what was your opinion on the Gunsmith rolls this week? The Zarinea-D with Danger Close actually seemed fairly promising but the Counterbalance one looks like the safest bet. Haven't been able to choose.

what if Bungie intentionally added the shadowshot glitch to combat sunbreakers this week?

You forgot to mention we were playing all super try-hards from famous Destiny clans (Triplewreck's, Datto's and Luminosity's). Crazy match, glad I managed to go positive.
Sidearm and pulse rifle.
Never mind. Ended up being able to solo it.
I should get on that. I've been holding onto legendary hc's I will likely wind up dismantling anyway, just haven't gotten any rare ones to drop. I've switched between Hung Jury, Suros, and Hawkmoon - Hawkmoon feels the best, but it's definitely slow and I get wrecked before I can get off my second bullet against guys using quicker weapons. What makes Ace of Spades better?
Thanks j_rocca for the IB invite earlier. Felt bad being the weakest link all the time, but I appreciated the carry. I got destroyed in general, but I'm particularly bad at vertical combat. If a guy jumps over me I lose him most of the time and am dead shortly after.
It's weird, because I don't remember being this bad when I pvp'd on my Warlock in Y1-Crota times.

I'm down whenever.
Yep. I'm not sure why this happens, but whenever I play against famous community members or streamers, I go super try hard and become Unstabie, Destroyer of Pros. (Make really good plays, land majority of my shots, and perform some of my best skating I've ever done.)
I wish I could trigger this mode all of the time.

If they aren't running around throwing the shield the entire time, they are probably doing it wrong.

Two 300 guns and a chest that is one light lower than my current chest (302).
Could be worse, but damn, this low level shit is a super buzzkill after getting a drop.

Just had that in my last IB match, calling it a night for pvp.

Scouts were very meh in vanilla partly because they were underpowered but also because ARs had waaaay too much range. Scouts got a 10-15% damage buff in a very early patch but it wasn't enough. Vanilla Red Death was pretty decent, just that nobody used it. Vanilla Bad Juju was Piece-of-Junk Juju.
High-impact ARs especially Suros were obviously too strong but skilled exotic hand cannon users could still beat them. Vanilla TLW and Hawkmoon were insane and Thorn was great too. That's why I still think vanilla was as close to balance as this game has seen. There was a clear "best weapon class" but it wasn't the only choice. A Suros was useless in the Thorn meta but the inverse wasn't true.
The problem is that they always simultaneously buff the weak while nerfing the strong so you simply swap spots. Fusion rifles were too strong so they were nerfed while shotguns were buffed by introducing God-roll Felwinters. Suddenly it's the shotgun age. Hand cannons are nerfed while Pulses are buffed, welcome to the PR age, etc.

Once I get the wolf cloak. There's no going back.
I miss TLW. It was my counter to shotguns.

Drizzy knows all about that side-arm meta
1v1 against Oyrx.
It's a lost dream.
The issue was that I think Bungie was overall sensitive to the whining and complaining.
Wow. I'd have given up.
I had 5 medallions i wanted to turn in before going to bed.
I usually play IB solo. But it was never this bad.
And shotguns man, i keep getting sniped by them. That conspiracy theory is fucking annoying.
They nerf and nerf shotguns and it stays the same.
I honestly think this game shouldn't have shotguns. Or at least it shouldn't be OHK.

they nerfed the loot cave because people were reporting each other for cheating.
definitely sensitive to complaints in the first 3 months.

That was the most infuriating 2 hours I've ever spent in the Crucible. Thanks, Lord Saladin. I can't comprehend why someone would stand around the capture point, but not capture it. It happened in several of my matches today.
I honestly should've joined a GAF train tonight.
