Trials delayed was the right call. Hardmode already? Too soon IMHO. I can only get to 307 on my Titan and Warlock. My hunter is 305.
Rank 4 with my Titan. Got everything except the PR now. Will hit 5 easily tomorrow and start on my Warlock for boots and bond.
Night DGAF.

With coordination infinite shadowshots can facilitate virtually infinite hammers in addition to whatever direct damage it does. There's no comparison.

by necessary i just meant that it actually matters, and anyone with light above you will have a built-in advantage. the whole system doesn't make sense.
what they should do is make rewards in iron banner much tougher to get (hard bounties, rewards based on being the best players in a game, etc), but then have them give out 300-310 light items. that would let people prepare for trials using pvp.
IB is just such a pointless waste of time right now for average low level legendary gear, and if you're facing teams at 315-320 in trials, nobody is going to want to play with somebody at 295-300.
Thanks, this is really useful info.
Mind if I join?

Have you seen the Stag dancing the Carlton? Totally hilarious and awful.
Sounds good. No mic though.

For sure, they made the right call for the community-at-large. I agree with their decision but it still pisses me off that we can't play Trials in 4hr 45min and go check out new Lighthouse secrets. Purely selfish motivations

I would like to hop on this one.
I might be better than the random you would otherwise get

I agree. Calling it off was the right choice and the right choice isn't always easy.
A part of me still wishes that it wasn't canceled though. Insurmountable odds give me a rush. I can feel myself improve in these situations. Winning after being beaten to the ground countless times is an amazing feeling. Guardians make their own fate.
Nirwen's Mercy seems like I'd love it. The Allfate was one of my favorite weapons ever and while I'm really enjoying my home-grown Apple of Discord, the Hakke pulse rifles feel totally different to me and I like to mix it up.
Now whether or not I can will myself to jump into IB for a while tonight or not... I will rage so hard any and every time I see a cheater

Not even close. Even the remake of that map was nowhere near as good

If you like people camping two towers shooting across empty space while things spawn, there's plenty of that in Destiny.
Most overrated Halo map right behind Coagulation.

Yeah I totally agree. Would have been fun to run salt-generating anti-cheat parties. But I hate the idea of up-and-comers being like "welp, I guess this is what Trials is like" and never touching it again because of people who can't resist being dicks.

I liked that tree map in Halo 3. That map was fun.

Yea it feels so good to beat cheaters or scumbags, expecially in Trials. I definitely like playing against toughest competition to improve as well. But yea, another day.

So I just looked at the database and apparently the adept versions of trials weapons are
1. Non-elemental
2. As a replacement have Last Resort built in
just lol
They do get a black paint job though

Yea I do see what you are saying, in HoW days Iron Banner allowed you to get to the highest level using Etheric Light. Bungie seems undecided about whether to make IB gear equal to raid gear or not, I remember Vanilla IB only gave Level 29 armor but at some point I think that they offered Level 32 gear through IB during the end of the TDB period, when Level 32 was also the max from raid gear.
I guess how bungie sees this game is that everyone should be playing both PvE and PvP so it's not unfair to require people to play some raid to get the absolute best gear levels. This fits in with their bounty systems that force people to play both modes to get exotics (chaperone quest, sword quest, thorn bounty in Vanilla, etc.) Also when the original Iron Banner made level nearly meaningless people rose up and complained and wanted their achievements in the raid to make them more powerful than others, and bungie listened to those players and modified the power curve.
I do suspect that it will be quite possible for a 295 light player to face off against a 315 in Trials and still win, though. There's probably a few scenarios that will be excluded (no 2 burst headshot kill from Red Death since that's only 3-4 HP away from not killing in unleveled play) but a lot of guns may still work just as well as they normally do and kill in the same number of shots. I didn't run into many issues playing the original Trials as a level 32 against level 34s.

I loved Zanzibar so much! Ahh the old days of Halo... Such good. Such such good.
On that note, whoever is getting 5 should add me. I'm pretty excited for it!

Ahh yes Zanzibar. Nothing felt better to me. Like ninjaing* into the base. Opening the gate. Taking the flag and jumping into a warthog ready to pick you up and zooming the hell out. Good times.
👊
Zanzibar's maybe the best asymmetrical objective map I've ever seen. So many unique approaches and interactive features.

The very last vanilla IB gave Light 30 armor. A lot of people ranked up for the boots so they could leave the #Forever29 club. ~One week later TDB launched and sold Light 33 armor in the Tower. Whoops.

sightlines changed (the most difficult thing when it comes to remaking maps)
geometry changed with the theme, so that affected some jumps
the engine changed, so that alone changed how it played
they blocked library window. smh

Lol. Always doubt Bungie's intention.
Do you like its PR archetype? Can't imagine that would be a bad roll...
edit: Assuming you do, this should be you right now

Red Death is the best in my opinion.
I see some people talking up Bad JuJu on crucible playbook but I never see anyone using it in Iron Banner. I got a Y2 Juju but haven't bothered leveling it. Hawksaw is the Bad juju archetype and I've been gunned down by quite a few of those though, so if you have a good stability roll on a hawksaw you might want to take that for a spin too and see if you like it better than the Juju.
