Yeah I know how good Robinson is. I love Pantheon too, but blueberries always forget that the map has three lanes and just pile up into the lane with the special ammo. Then it's just free frags for the team that has B.

FIFY

I just like calling randoms players blueberries

The gear is exactly the same looks wise this time around http://planetdestiny.com/trials-iron-banner-gear/ the only big change is lighthouse gear will be re rollable

I don't think it's guaranteed that it will be rerollable. Also, they've added some cool Trials specific perks like extra agility when you're the last member alive on your fireteam.

 

[phen0m24]

Lol, I'm an OK sniper now that I completely got rid of my high five after sniping (yay for Jumper scheme). TLW nerf forced me to use my sniper as primary.
Hopefully Ikkarus is reading this, I always get scolded by him for having the least captures

Eh, throw a windmill cookie at his head. If you're covering, you're covering. Let the crazy bubble bros and invisi-peeps cap.

Dude that was the funniest thing: you would shoot and then melee. I always thought "Does that make the bullet fly faster?" Hahaha

Not as enthused about TTK Trials gear since it they are all reskins.

Weapons look good though.

Got my Warlock up to 308 this week from the raid. Need a 310 chest, class item, and ghost to get 310. Haven't gotten a single one of those since the start of the raid. So I'll have to use the ones from my alts to get there. I've only got two 310 drops from the raid on any of my characters yet after about 8 completions. This RNG light level is ludicrous. I can understand the loot itself but getting 300 Boots for the 5th time on one character who has 307 boots is incredibly frustrating.

I've been using 310 exotics to level up my Warlock.

[JackHerer]

The sad thing is that even with the Shadowshot glitch, Nightstalkers still don't come close to as powerful as hammer Titans in PvP. Of course the Nightstalker glitch breaks PvE encounters.

Finally got my ToM. Damn this thing is cool. Pretty fun to use. That last mission was seriously tough to solo though. That whole mission is stupid in the first place and they go and make it even harder. Definitely feel like I earned this weapon which I guess is the point.

Hahaha - I can't remember how many times I had to answer that question after I just switched to jumper xD That melee annoyed the shit out of me.

Just wait until you're standing in an invincibility bubble/aura in the raid. ToM feels straight up broken. 2x damage bullets for days. Congrats on the solo too!

They may not be able to run around taking no damage while getting kills without trying like titans can, but the Shadowshot glitch is pretty terrible in objective PVP modes like IB. Allows for total area lockdown.

Yeah, I often go there to do the relevant gunsmith bounties, and it was quickly apparent that something was going on. What point does doing that serve, other than pissing people off? It's not like there's anything truly valuable to farm/cheese there.

I noticed this this morning when I was practicing the Shadowshot glitch. I was wondering if I had missed a few enemies because I wasn't seeing anyone respawning but it turns out that the spawn timer has been increased. Not at all sure what is the point in that change.

 

[spyder_ur]

Flaws in game design shouldn't need to be conquered IMHO. I mean, i can make a burnt apple pie from the downtown bakery taste great with some ice cream... but it doesn't change the fact that the baker fucked up and i'm eating burnt cake.

Well are you eating pie or cake? Your whole story is falling apart.

Edit, try and have a high impact sniper that can revive kill (1000yd, stillpiercer, eirene) though this might not be needed as much as before due to changes in revive timers, try to have a 300 build that includes fast rez gear (alpha lupi, light beyond nemesis) and match your chest piece to your subclass for extra armour

Good advice - does anyone know how much the armor boost is?

I don't think being 300 is going to mean much of anything.

Shared pain is better than suffering alone.

Undying Mind and Dust Palace are also treats that we want to share with you!

I hate Undying Mind, but I have loved Dust Palace ever since the shotgun buff.

I'm not completely disappointed with not getting new Trials gear. Always loved the look of the OG stuff (even the armor that dropped was decent looking). Although, I wish they would have done something like have newly designed gear and the old stuff be the randomly dropped loot.

 

[Sleepy Buddha]

Hmmmm Bad Juju or Red Death GAF?

Or curveball, Hawkmoon.

I've been using Bad Juju and love it even more than I did Y1. Yesterday was consistently top of my team in IB when in the losing team and the second or third top scorer per match. Averaged over 4000 points. I was stunned at my performance since I never did this good in Y1, even with TLW.

My recommendation is to go acquire some more weapon parts. Is that helpful advice Hudson?

Just spend them - you're still accumulating them. Worry about next week, next week.

 

[silver.tongue]

I'm just not in a PVP mood yet... Have zero interest in IB or even Trials right now.

During HoW I was crazy about collecting this stuff but that's because I knew they would be useful "out of the box".
Now you after you get them you still need to infuse them to a higher light. I'm already almost out of weapon parts. Armor materials will be next probably.

Instead of getting more guns I think I get more by focusing on fewer great guns while collecting just the exotics.

 

[Kyne]

people who are already IB rank 5 are posting their loot.

it's nothing. they are getting nothing. bungie lied about the drop rates.

 

[Namikaze1]

And the Titan mark drops. Aw yeah!

 

[robertlebrone]

I just dont see how some people can play IB and ToO (hell, any PvP for that matter) with the state of Crucible.

The complete lack of balanced weapons and abilities along with the disgusting network code and lag... ugh. I'd have a heart attack if i was trying to go 9w in ToO!

I don't take it that serious. IB is just a good way to spend some time for a little while every day. Competition is enjoyable. Besides PvP isn't any worse than it's ever been. There have always been BS supers, OP metas, lag, etc from jump street.

90% of my blue dismantled have been a measly 1 weapon part, which equals dismantling a green weapon. It's hideous! I guess blues aren't exactly "rare" but the economy is kind of messed up now. I didn't have a huge problem with levelling up weapons and infusion until the patch hit, because I'd get what I needed from my blues.

Nerf drop rates of motes, weapon parts, etc, and then nerf spawn rates in patrol zones so you are less able to farm out there. Genius.

I wonder how much silver it will cost to increase spawn rates...

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Was just waiting for the mercy rule. Eventually I realised it won't come and decided to go down fighting.

Mercy doesn't kick in until the winning team hits 12,000 and it won't ever activate if the losing team crosses 5,000. It's silly, especially if a bunch of people have left the game so it takes forever to get enough points.

I wonder if the match making system is out of sync in IB..sometimes we just KILL everything and get mercy then sometimes we get killed massively and people even drop out..

could be some sort of error on the servers as well as yesterday we did get a lot of Baboon errors and got reconnected.

We need a Ghost that gives out additional weapon parts instead of wormspore (I imagine people have hundreds by now) when finding a blue engram.

At least you have the NF Tier weekly Crucible bounties unlocked on each character now. So that you can claim some extra coins and antiquated runes on top of your normal NF rewards

 

[gutterboy44]

Yeay! The 3rd Black Spindle day did not elude me. Thank you Bogey for the run, that went so quick.

 

[spyder_ur]

Am I reading those bounties right in that it seems like 100 legendary marks will be pretty easily attainable per character as long as you play a decent bit of Trials, the same way that 50 were fairly easily attainable in IB?

Marks raining from the sky. The cap is pretty damn silly at this point.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Lag isn't too bad actually and Destiny is one of the best shooters out right now. Bungie nailed the most important part.

It's just relentlessly fun, even if you're getting crushed, you're dead for about a fourteenth of a second and then you're back in the mix for another shot.

I've literally never played a game of PVP in a year + that featured full stop dominance of any kind of spawn camping or sniping behavior, the kind where you literally don't have a chance to move your head before you're dead again.

I'm not including Trials here, because that was the most mercilessly unsatisfying PVP experience I've had in gaming history. THAT is a game mode where you will get crushed before you even have a chance to poke your head out.

But regular PVP, even IB, is unstoppable fun, winning or losing.

that quest-line was brutal but I've actually managed to complete it , unlike the exotic sword & sleeper quests. farming materials for hours is worse than almost anything in the game and I've probably spent 4 hours on mars waiting for that non-existant warsat to repair the sleeper lol

It's hard not to think that Bungie studios is divided on how Destiny should be curated. TTK was a wonderful expansion and the patches following nerfed the economy for no reason.

It's really like that they hate seeing us be too happy or something. And now with quest system for exotics, I can't even finish my sword because of some weird glitch/mistake. There are things that need to be address and nerfing weapon parts is definitely the least important. If some of the developers played their own game, they'd know that the majority of people went broke rerolling during HoW.

I agree, accept about Trials. Before trials, I did not take PVP seriously at all and played casually. Post-trials it has become one of my favorite activities. There may be some balance problems, but nothing beats the joy of coming back from 4-1 to win the game.

And now I can blow kisses to seal it off hahah.

Red Death I've used in PvP before and it was enjoyable but felt sluggish.

Hawkmoon is really for nostalgia purposes tbh as HC's are pretty shit tier now.
