I don't want no fake friend sub-account separate account BS. I expect the real Guardians like Ji66a-Man and Unsatiable to buy new consoles and carry their own selves through the quest.

I'm just playing Fallout 4. I miss Destiny's gunplay.

Edit: Honestly, they should have the sherpa program and just allow people to buy the damn stuff.

 

[E92 M3]

I'm not invested in the e-peen MLG crowd that Halo spawned, but after playing Destiny competitively for a bit I would absolutely like to see the game come closer to Halo as far as outplaying players goes. I got way too much trash talk from people who thought they were good by blinking around with Thorn and Shotguns.

Yeah, it was always hilarious to hear people trash talking when they blink with shotgun and thorn. Have no issues if they used those tactics, but trash talking was rather funny.

Hopscotch?! Do you even Destiny?

 

[Daemul]

What does that even mean? Bungie already said they have no interest in balancing the game like they would balance a Halo game, e.g. "Two men enter, the better man leaves, the lesser man is respawning, and that's Halo." -- Luke Smith

Destiny will never be that kind of game.

That's how it should be tbh. The better man should always come out on top.

Looking for a fresh raid or just Oryx for me and my brother.

He sucks less now.

Have totems AND Oryx CP.

Any takers?

 

[Kyoufu]

Wait, I have two PS4s... how do I go about doing this? Or do I still need two copies of the game, two PS+ subs etc.?

Probably need both. Maybe game share one copy of Destiny.

That shit is stupid and I'm not going to bother.

Just sent you an invite. We are starting at totems. Keanburke

Snipers need PvP nerfing, they are ruining PvP IMO

bring Auto Rifles back and let people just have fun

Thank you. I'm sick of seeing 1000 Yard Stare's constantly, even more so than Felwinter Lie's back then.

Halo and Destiny are very different games, created by very different people. They cater to different audiences and that's fine.

Well I like that I can play the PvP with any of my friends and not have to worry about losing or them not having fun because they can't get kills. Whereas if I go and play Halo, one person who isn't performing is bringing the team down and it can lead to a toxic environment where you're only playing with people because they're good at the game. The only reason I joined the 13 Devils is because those guys didn't appear to be like that (and ZL_Chris still isn't).

But i wouldn't mind if they brought the skill ceiling up. Or at least made it so the best weapons in the game (TLW) weren't easy to use. There was a time where the skill of a player in Destiny was determined by how good their Last Word shot was. But then everyone figured out how to proc 111 damage and it stopped being a measure of skill.

 

[panama chief]

im normally down to circumvent my way around this refer a friend thing. These guys want you to recruit a person with their own Live or PsN account who had never played destiny.

If I tried to do all this on my own I'd have to get my son his own LIVE account and copy of TTk. My pockets bungie. Have mercy.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

That shit is stupid and I'm not going to bother.

So stupid. Friend of mine started playing like 2 weeks ago. I helped him with quests, nightfall, strikes, court of oryx, etc. He can't use my referral code because bungie tells him he's played Destiny for over a week.

 

[Diprosalic]

i only use snipers in this game but this is getting out of hand. they need to nerf them ASAP.

Yup.

Plus I got my friends to play this back in Year 1.

I'm out of friends, Bungie.

I never understood why we never see other Guardian NPCs in the wild who aren't dead.

In Bloodborne, you see hunters who are swagged the fuck out. After a ton of hard work or straight up murder, you can have that gear for yourself.

The only swagged out Guardian you see is Shaxx and Saladin, and they just stand around.

The refer-a-friend thing is so dumb because it's so late in the game. How many veterans are there that haven't already tried to get their friends to play? Seems so strange. Made for kids, I guess.

My friend bought Taken King and watched the opening cinematic before getting distracted with life stuff/other games. He hasn't played it at all. But The Referral won't work for him because it says he's "already played Taken King".

 

[Trakan]

Having no AA does not equate to "skill" - I think that's a false equivalency. The controller does not allow the same precision in movement as a mouse. AA is needed for controllers. And I said before, I've played with great players that still dominate consistently.

Great players dominating doesn't mean anything. If there was zero AA, great players would still dominate. It's about a broken/unbalanced mechanic making mediocre players into better players and being able to play at levels they shouldn't be. A gun should not increase a player's skill level.

I am not as good as Twilight at sniping, but with AA the way it currently is, I'm able to pull off stuff I watch in his vids. That's not how it should work.

 

[Namikaze1]

Fuck this dude!

Fuck Sector!

[Slammin_Hammon]

My biggest grievance with sniper AA isn't that it makes sniping easier so much as that it makes ridiculous snipes that have no business landing hit a lot more often. It also is bad that the most effective snipers have the most AA. Weapons need trade-offs and most special weapons don't. 1000 yard has great AA and impact, on the shotgun front Conspiracy theory has great impact and range.

 

[j0hnny_385]

I'm at 40/50 Calcified Fragments. Need to pick up T2 CoO fragments. Any takers?

 

[Namikaze1]

We lost that match and not because the other team was better (they weren't) but because of shitty stuff like that. That was the match where the Stormcaller had UNLIMITED POWAH and killing people through freaking walls. Almost all of them weren't taking damage and at least 3 were teleporting around.

 

[Kyoufu]

Sherpa rewards should be nothing more than an emblem, IMO.

 

[Afrocious]

Rangefinder can go straight to hell. I'll take auto aim snipes over conspiracy theory and party crashed any day

I normally use Imgur's video to gif but then I have to use Photoshop to make the file size smaller. It's one too many steps.

For quick and easy small gifs like that one, I use gifs.com

 

[Hawkian]

On the point of Fusion Rifles, what were the best ones from Year One?

I remember I had a godly Plug One roll with Kneepads, Accelerated Coils and Hipfire.

Paging Hawkian.

Pocket Infinity and Plan C were the best but you already know that.

My favorite was 77 Wizard which was the original Crucible one. It was a slow charge with crazy impact which is my preferred type. The quick-charge counterpart at the time was LIGHT/BEWARE, which was a favorite for a lot of people.

Following Vanilla, Plug One.01 was a solid compromise between the two, just about any roll of it could be useful from one like you had for quick firing or one I had with range perks. Give/Take Equation kind of replaced that for me in HoW, it was also balanced and had a super tight beam. Final Rest II and The Trolley Problem had crazy range that made them pretty dominant on the right maps. Perun's Fire was the champion for the quick charging ones, when rolled with Acc. Coils it had the fastest charge in the game. Also, Light of the Abyss was all around great with a huge punch for how quick its charge was, and some fun shenanigans with skip rounds.

 

[Deku Tree]

Sherpa rewards should be nothing more than an emblem, IMO.

Bungie/Acti trying to sell more video games to make more money. Can't fault them for that... More sales hopefully will lead to more and better content so it's a win/win IMO.

 

[figadapaura]

I still have my LIGHT/Beware <3

Tore those Minotaurs during Gatekeepers apart. This was before everyone started using the solo Gatekeepers at the same time strategy.

Wizard and Light Beware are the vanilla ones I was forgetting.

I don't remember many Vanilla weapons.

But then nobody would even bother with it.

Well, at least unlike sniper AA, the December tuning is doing stuff to address that sort of shotgun play.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Thanks! I really hope Bungie one day includes a HUD-less option, but for now it's fun to figure out ways to take photos of Destiny's awesome art & environment design.

 

[Kyoufu]

That's my point.

Or at least let people obtain those rewards via other means.

 

[Hawkian]

I had so much fun with my 77 Wizard I used it to do the Thorn bounty 3 times. Still use it every once in awhile though I have two new loves in Y2 Destiny that I switch between most of the time.

 

[Afrocious]

i'm always going to remember when twilight gap and i had gatekeepers on lock when solo'ing them

like i remember todd going into the portal trying to snipe and i whip out dat gjallarhorn doe

 

[figadapaura]

I can't snipe for shit anymore, although I did enjoy this. Thank you AA.

I would have got my top score/win bounty done if we'd won that match, but I didn't care because I actually hit someone in the head with a sniper rifle.

 

[Strider]

Rangefinder can go straight to hell. I'll take auto aim snipes over conspiracy theory and party crashed any day

I wouldn't.

Because if anything shotguns encourage movement since you have to get up close.

This "stand still and snipe/pulse across the map until I get my super" meta we have right now is 100% garbage.

Both shotguns and snipers need to be nerfed but if I had to choose between the 2 evils I'd take shotguns. I can outplay blinking shotgun scrubs all day but I can't approach these snipers at all.

I was nerfed into oblivion this patch lol

Yea, basically a quick moving target. It's like the AA loves those.

lol he was using an Ice Breaker and whoever was in the other portal would kill the Gatekeeper too fast by accident nearly every time. Gjallarhorn, baby.
