last place, rank 2 ib, got the cloak. at 294. not bad.


my IB has actually been great, a few lopsided matches but no cheaters, and i think it's because i never embraced the meta, I was ALWAYS autorifle even when the were doubly nerfed (and fullauto VoC, but that's like a Suros)

Almost all my matches have had crazy turn over, last second wins, and most scores have been within 1k if not 200, done about ~20 matches.

But to each his own

 

[darkistheway]

Well we know part of the BWU will discuss the nightstalker glitch and trials:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe..._have_to_postpone_trials_of_osiris_if/cw0txtv

So DeeJ says. Which doesn't mean much, in the scheme of things.

 

[blackflag]

Individual light stats don't matter, your overall light just determines how vulnerable you are.

On weapons it does in PVE. Are you saying it doesn't in PVP?

 

[dB Viper]

Anyone tried out the IB Pulse? Worth it? I already have Villany and the Suros one (with Full Auto, Perfect Balance and Injection Mold..stability is maxed).

 

[PuMa]

YEAH! DRUNKEN FRENDEN!

I will be on around 5:30-6pm CST. I'm going to start a train. If I see you on then I'll drop you a line. I need the Frenden snipes in my life.

I'll be on a little later...830 eastern-ish. I'll try to get on the train then!

Done. I'll be grabbing a 6 pack on the way home brotha! Choo Choo!

NOW we're talking! Drunk IB is best IB

 

[Tecnniqe]

maybe it was something else?

Firefly explosion in my face as Destiny crash?

Yeah they didnt fix it.

 

[darkistheway]

Time to test out this Pulse Rifle.

Tell me it's garbage so I can stop obsessing over it...

 

[Lrrr]

Materials such as?

Whatever materials they nerfed that we need to level up our guns/characters. Someone else in this thread said it best - initially Bungie stated that they wanted us to try out all the new guns and not stick to one gun for everything. Fine, but by nerfing material drop percentages, it will have the opposite effect. Instead of people freely experimenting with gun perks, the scarcity of materials will actually dissuade people from leveling up every gun they find. It's a mind-boggling awful design decision on Bungie's part.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Not having a lot of hope we'll get previews of Live team stuff. From Last week's Update:

Over the course of a year scored by game updates that delivered new features and playable moments, the Live Team has grown. Their charter to keep the world of the game alive with new experiences that everyone can share is unchanged and they’ve added some muscle to help them carry that mission forward. Eververse Trading will be their benefactor.

How [the Live team's] efforts will manifest in the Tower and beyond will all be part of the surprise that keeps on surprising.​

I hope the Weekly Update shows I'm wrong.

 

[E92 M3]

I hope they do delay Trials if the glitch is so prevalent and can't be fixed.

 

[MrDaravon]

Just had literally the worst match of Destiny PvP I have ever had, went something like 6 and 21. Other team was using the Shadowshot glitch. I'm done.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

I'll be on a little later...830 eastern-ish. I'll try to get on the train then!

Sweet! I'll just boot Rene when you're on Puma

Thanks for the help!

 

[Odious Tea]

If trials is a go for tomorrow does anyone want to have a few goes at around ~5pm ET? Had full sets for all three classes and made it to the Lighthouse a few times. Not expecting much from runs other than a few wins for chances at cool Y2 loot.

Feel free to respond, pm me, or just add me on PSN. If you do that last one please send me a message so I know. All of my classes are 300+ light.

PSN - rolyreyes

I see this now more and more in Iron Banner, it destoys all of the fun at the moment.

Definitely will stay away from Trials if this is not fixed

 

[rc213]

Looks like all the shitheads woke up. 3 straight matches where can't get shit once they have super glitch.

 

[Tovarisc]

Anyone tried out the IB Pulse? Worth it? I already have Villany and the Suros one (with Full Auto, Perfect Balance and Injection Mold..stability is maxed).

Easily worth it imo, feels very good in PvP. I previously used raid pulse in PvP, which is good too. Just got pulse as post-match reward, after purchasing vendor version few hours ago

Also spawn logic in this game can be sooo bad, 5 deaths in row because game kept spawning me into enemies.

[flkraven]

Man, I'm actually really anxious about the weekly update. Tons of stuff I want them to address: Economy nerf, nightstalker glitch, live team info, IB drop rates, etc

 

[MrDaravon]

I hope you reported them for cheating.

No real point, every PvP match I've played since the exploit was posted on Reddit has had multiple people doing it. Assuming Bungie even does any sort of bans for this (which I sincerely doubt they will given how incredibly easy this is to do) if they can't tell who has been doing it then that's on them. I'm actually not really even that mad at people doing it, it's so incredibly easy to do and PvP was already such a shitshow in my opinion that this is just another layer of hilarity.

If this isn't hotfixed before IB ends and Bungie doesn't provide really really good justification for the economy nerfs in the BWU today I'm straight up done and uninstalling the game for the time being though. I'm tired of going on this shitty rollercoaster ride with them. And most of this shit I wouldn't even care about or it wouldn't be a problem if PvE and PvP were totally separate and could be balanced separately, but Bungie refuses to do so. There's no reality where PvE and PvP are going to both be perfectly balanced, it's always going to come at the cost of one or the other, or both.

Hammers...hammers for all!

It's honestly so bad that leaving it unchecked would do more damage than anything for IB and Trials. Better off locking the nightstalker class entirely (until fixed) than let this go on.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

I've seen a lot of people on Reddit calling for people using the shadowshot thing to be banned.

What for? I was looking at Bungie's terms of service and don't see how this applies

Here is the list of things you can be banned for:

Connecting to the Destiny game service with any of the following:
Modified game software
Modified game assets
Modified console hardware
Modified console firmware
Using an external program to modify the operation of the Destiny game software (trainer or mod)
Using an external program or device to automate gameplay or circumvent idle detection
Modification or interruption of Destiny network traffic with intent to disrupt other players’ experiences or to gain advantage in the game
Intentionally deriving gameplay benefit from another user’s behavior in the above categories
Unauthorized access to Destiny software or downloadable content (game piracy)
Impersonating a Bungie, Microsoft, Sony, or Activision employee

I think the people who are calling for the banhammer should be focused on Bungie instead. It's their game... the onus is on them to fix it.

My biggest problem with the game right here! The PvP nerfs so often screw over the PvE use of the weapons/skill/perks etc.

 

[LiK]

It's raining Shadowshots and not even an umbrella can save you.

 

[TalentBurke]

One spot open for a quick oryx kill. Psn KeanBurke.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

On weapons it does in PVE. Are you saying it doesn't in PVP?

I was under the impression that for Iron Banner, damage resistance was determined on your light scale by every 10 light levels, starting at light level 230 as the lowest level.

 

[Acidote]

Any Iron banana train going?

 

[minimumhippo]

Thanks again bogeypop for the awesome spindle run.

 

[EL CUCO]

The problem with Shadowshot glitch is that it generates a ton of orbs for the Hammerbros on their team. Thats when it becomes a real poop storm.

Ran into that last night. Was hearing multiple Hammers go off every 30 seconds or so ;_;

 

[Bogeypop]

Ok, she's coming online right now and will be playing on my account

Spindle Group #13(?) complete. If Dhruv_hanom or whoever is playing on his account is ready I can take you now, assuming I can find a third.

Reminder to send me a PM to get on the Black Spindle help Waiting List. Further reminder not to use Nightstalker glitch if I'm helping you or I'll boot you from the Fireteam.

 

[Tovarisc]

Bungie, I don't want collision with friendly players / teammates if it means they are able to shove me around. Gotten killed in PvP so many times because some player herpderpultraherp runs into me and shoves me into enemy fire.

 

[JPBrowncoat]

I've changed my opinion on the weapon parts nerf. the aggregate effect catches up to you fast. I can't upgrade anything.

The thing I noticed while out on a patrol is how many green items are wasted because my inventory is full.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Individual light stats don't matter, your overall light just determines how vulnerable you are.

So a 280 weapon and 310 weapon will do the same damage if you're the same light level as the other guy?

They banned people for using the Heavy Ammo Glitch in Crucible, and all you had to do for that was set the time back on your PS4.

I could see an argument for 'modifying console hardware' for setting your time back, but even that's a stretch. I don't like cheating anymore than anyone else (and I main a Warlock, so I get no advantage for this), but I think the frustrations are misdirected.

The problem with Shadowshot glitch is that it's so easy to do and literally everyone is doing it... would Bungie really throw down even temporary playlist specific ban hammers on so many users at once?

It's clearly un-intended and cheating, even though it is also Bungie's fault for giving us software that has this bug. People who do it in competitive PvP are cheaters and they are hurting other players chances... so they should receive temporary playlist specific ban hammers IMO.

 

[Sullichin]

I hope so. Would much rather them ban the assholes doing this than postpone Trial of Osiris for everyone.

 

[Inapplicable]

Yay, got the iron banner mark.

Fuck blueberries on pantheon, they must have 1 brain cell combined. I clear out the entire enemy team around B with my OP hammers and they still sit back doing jack shit(well that's a lie, they just died). Seriously, fuck off.
