Hey guys who is the best/goat destiny player?

I like players who are flexible enough to play lots of different content at a high level. Examples:

ZL_Chriss with a 99% win ratio in Trials with a K/D over 7.0, also dominated Skirmish ranks for a while. He was also part of the 6th team in the world to beat King's Fall.

Lumi is a top rank streamer and also known to speedrun PvE content very effectively. This guy basically came up with a play style using Nightstalkers.

Tfue, Slayerage and a few others are PvE beasts and also pretty good at PvP.

Every time I play Iron Banner, Trials or any kind of Crucible more than in just a short spurt I am reminded at how embarassing it is that Bungie has allowed PvP to go dominated by Sniper Rifles for this long. All games have balance issues that get adjusted over time and require constant attention. That's no big deal. But the absolute domination by snipers in Crucible is demoralizing. Many of us have complained about the lack of content in Y2 but the lack of attention to the basics here disgusts me. I love Destiny and I won't stop playing anytime soon but Bungie needs to realize that they can't take half measures. To fix their problems with special weapons it's they need to change their entire special weapon system. They can't get it right as it stands now. I don't think I've ever seen a developer with so much history of success, passion, potential and talent waste it all on indecision and inability to produce.

ZL Chris is definitely the best player. No one can hold a candle to him. One on one no one can hang with him.

IB just made me quit for the time being. Kept getting Cathedral. Hate that map with a passion. Screw that. Good games everyone.

 

[Darknyss09]

Updated count:
6 regular helms & 0 PS exclusive
7 regular arms & 0 PS exclusive

This is fucking stupid. IB is a waste of time.

Yeah that Cathedral game was so frustrating. Being spawn-camped feels bad man.

Justin is in patrol if you're bored and want to pve lol - I think he wanted to try a cm again. I'm at music practice

I just logged off--time to spend some time in meatspace!

 

[Highwind]

Need 2 for trials.

I wanna run x2 on Titan and Warlock to get the helmets.

While I myself don't have much issues with snipers I can agree that the way Bungie has handled balancing the weapon types in this game has been shameful.

Fucking losing gunfights thanks to rng bullets, harsh nerfs to the entire weapon classes thanks to 1 or 2 guns excelling. It's sad.

Added you. Just need 1 more for trials. Grinding for the helmets on titan and warlock and some bounties along the way.

I'm up for it, but I'm acreage :0

 

[Highwind]

Getting to 5 at least shouldn't be hard. I'm average as well.

 

[the_id]

Got one spot on our iron banner train.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Getting to 5 at least shouldn't be hard. I'm average as well.

Cool. Grabbing the passage and weapons now.

 

[Mass Appeal]

Anyone for trials in like half hour? Don't really care about flawless, just wanted to do bounties and try for helms.


Edit: hit rank 5 on my Hunter, Got 320 boots. Thank you RNG

 

[j0hnny_385]

Sniper experts...
Is Weyloran's March with

Hawkeye SLR15 / Longview SLR10 / Ambush SLH25 + Underdog
+ Quickdraw / Snapshot / Casket Mag
+ Hidden Hand

...worth keeping and infusing?

Damn it, 4th person to steal my 320 boots this week. I just know golgo challenge tomorrow will again not give me mah boots. :/

Keep it for 6v6, use longview and snapshot.

 

[SpecX]

Just reached rank 5 on my warlock, heading to the tower for my disappointment. ..


Edit: 320 IB Chest, not bad although would have liked boots or helm instead.

Longview/Snapshot/Hidden Hand is as good as you can get. It's low impact though so crap for pve & can't res snipe in trials. Good for 6v6 though.

I stole your amazing RNG!? I feel special

Edit: Wow, I am literally one point in light level away from 320 on my hunter. Got 320 everything except my cloak, which is 319....

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Amazing, haha...more like depressing.

 

[Auctopus]

If anyone still needs to NF, I can help.

 

[SpecX]

What is up with the nipple chain on the Warlock IB Chest armor?

 

[Mindlog]

If anyone still needs to NF, I can help.

I'll join you with my Hunter. Just one sec to remote in :]

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Where else will you hang the RAM and STAG helmets when you want to take a smoke break?

 

[psylah]

I'll help with nightfall too. psn: psyarchetype

 

[Auctopus]

Ok, got no mic but it'll be fine.

I'll help with nightfall too. psn: psyarchetype

Im with mindlog so join on me when you're ready.

With Longview and hidden hand I think that sniper has the most AA possible right now. Snapshot is really good too.

 

[SpecX]

Randoms fucking suck. If I'm in a spot for a kill don't fucking push me out in the open especially when there's a sniper there. I've died so many times today because of this bullshit.

 

[Auctopus]

Sorry for the few too many deaths there, guys.

 

[psylah]

Sorry for the few too many deaths there, guys.

No problem. But hey, finally got a Darkblade helm!

 

[Mindlog]

Thanks for the Nightfall help and congrats on the helm!
Small arms is fun. All of my Nightfall runs I ended up with well north of 50% precision kills using Bad Juju.

Also fun: When a weapon drops with Hip Fire & Rangefinder

 

[Auctopus]

No problem. But hey, finally got a Darkblade helm!

Hey, me too! I didn't think it was possible for Titan gear to drop for Warlocks.

 

[nowai]

What is up with the nipple chain on the Warlock IB Chest armor?

Same chain that's been on heart of praxic fire from day one.

 

[SpecX]

Same chain that's been on heart of praxic fire from day one.

Interesting, I hardly play warlock and just noticed this detail. It's the same on male and female characters for nipple placement.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Same chain that's been on heart of praxic fire from day one.

Wow they reused the base for the IB chest.

That's not as bad as every Titan Helmet having the same back plate/base model.

 

[NastyBook]

Nope.

 

[Highwind]

Nope.

No worries.

Need 1 for trials. Want to hit 5 for the helmets and finish bounties.

 

[NastyBook]

No worries.

Just don't have the patience for that today. That's why I went YOLO mode and cut off my mic. Good luck to you.

EDIT: Any IB trains going?

 

[HMD]

I want the level 1 warlock chest, it's by far the best looking one.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Edit: decided to eat dinner and game with the wife. Maybe trials suffering tomorrow

 

[Kalamari]

I'd like to do trial bounties as well

 

[Kadey]

That money match.

While FChamp won, he can't say shit. KBR redeemed himself on the last rounds he won.

KBR just beat him in the actual tourney and won the whole thing. Karma.

 

[Liamc723]

Anyone need a player for IB?

 

[LTWood12]

Got a waylorans march w/ shortgaze, guerilla fighter (gag) snapshot, and hidden hand. Better or worse than Lord Salad's?

 

[todd360]

Dat sexy nipple chain doe.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

nirwins mercy for days. I have 5 what is a good roll on it?

 

[Mass Appeal]

Perfect roll I think is CB, braced frame and third eye?

 

[ocean]

My Scout rifles have a hidden perk that grants enemy snipers extra stability and AA while I shoot them. I've turned many body shots into domes by landing some solid headshots at my enemy while they scope me

thanks man

 

[140.85]

Honestly Bungie, why does a Scout like MIDA hit like a truck?
