Yeah i got into it becuase it helped my loot crave. But destiny is being good loot game right now and most importantly its fun to play. Division wasnt really fun to just play

Yeah kinda the same for me too. I hadn't played Destiny since November, so coming back after both CoD MP and the Division has been great.

That's very disappointing. I praised The Division originally exactly because it wasn't a peak and shoot game.

Welcome back from Bizarro DGAF.

Who wpuld of thought that shooting aliens with fun guns and super powers would be more fun than shooting sanitation workers with AKs

Does anyone want to do CoE for the card?

[ZeroCoin]

Any CoE cards going have room for one? Would like to complete cards on all my characters before I think about farming. Psn zerocoin.

You can join up. I'm finishing a card now then I'm switching characters. PSN MutenTurtle.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

Are you sure about this?

I feel like it was a big deal when Sidearms came out as they were the first hitscan weapons in the game. I wanna say that are the only hitscan weapons in the game. Everything else has an actual bullet that travels and dictates impact and damage.

You have this exactly backwards. Hitscan means that there is no projectile, no travel time. Instead, you pull the trigger and a hit or miss is determined by where you are aiming. All weapons in destiny are hitscan with the exception of rockets, fusion rifles, vestian dynasty, and dreg's promise.

Forgot to mention I got another with me, my bad.

 

[Kadey]

Need two for one full raid. Must not run away from knights and have 2k+ people laughing at you.

 

[Arrrammis]

Forgot to mention I got another with me, my bad.

Ah, OK. Maybe another time then.

That means that there's a spot open for somebody else, join us anyone!

Thorn has a projectile. If you shoot it a wall there will be a spike+

 

[Zoso Achilles]

It's hitscan. Interaction with objects has nothing to do with that fact.

 

[igordennis]

Yeah people. Just think if you ever had to lead on a shot with any primary weapon like you do with rockets. Its all hitscan

If thorn wasn't hitscan you can bet your ass you wouldn't see that gun in sweats because then it would take some actual skill to use it.

 

[FyreWulff]

Bungie's engine is unique in that it's form of hitscan still sends an actual projectile in-engine, it just completes it's travel within one frame. Like, the flight and everything is still calculated, it's just functionally hitscan.

This is different from earlier and other engines where hitscan was calculated client side or some other calculation but bullet shot was entirely cosmetic.

Allows neat stuff like the thorn projectile to actually get stuck or deflect and for bullets to have physical impacts and sound effects when they go past something.

But that's really picking at technical trivia, as much as the general playerbase cares it's the same hitscan from other games. But that was what the DMR and Pistol were in Reach.

Are there any talks or presentations where they discuss the engine. I'm curious about the other intrecacies involved.

Ugh, sorry about the DP ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Anyone else for a full points CoE run? We've got two voidwalkers so it's basically a free 45k+ score. We got 48.6k point with just the two of us, another person would speed it up though!

Yeah I just fixed it

Also although not listed under Publications, they went into the Halo 3 shot networking in a Bungie update (re-found this after looking for the interview where they talk about Reach's guns), which is a good read.

The BR hitscan read is solid, and the image at the bottom of the update... Gold.

Why is it voidwalkers OP?

 

[friday]

is LL 312 too low for Coe?

 

[inthrall]

Why is it voidwalkers OP?

Energy drain reduces grenade CD even further, so that with the bigger radius + explosion on vortex grenades = almost permanent uptime.

EDIT: Alternately, nothing manacles is a good alternative for those who like scatter grenades too

 

[NeOak]

Why is it voidwalkers OP?

Grenades is the score multiplier this week.

Are you still looking? Need to start my Hunter's card.

is LL 312 too low for Coe?

No. We can start a run if you want.

 

[SnakeEyes]

Why is it voidwalkers OP?

The Grenade-recharging melee and Axiom Bolt make light work of enemies for score. Alternatively, a Sunsinger with Starfire Protocol and Fusion grenades with burn on also wreck house.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Youd be fine with a competent crew. Or even half competent.

41 poe is longer and more difficult than coe imo.

 

[friday]

No. We can start a run if you want.

Let's do it!

 

[Mindlog]

PSN same as GAF.
Anyone else wants to join for a run or two feel free. Got about a half hour.

 

[Arrrammis]

Why is it voidwalkers OP?

Voidwalkers with the catapult modifier have grenades faster than you can throw them thanks to the embrace the void perk, where grenade kills greatly speed up grenade and super regen(read: with the two charges from the nothing manacles, one grenade kill fully restored one grenade and brings the second charge to about75%). This perk can also be modded to instantly restore quite a bit of health, and combined with the catapult modifier... I guess overpowered is a fair way to put it.

Edit: Just to prove a point, here's the results of the most recent points run in the CoE:

55k points total, and I used exclusively grenades until all adds were clear, then sniped at the boss.

 

[Robdraggoo]

I know. Was just messing around.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

But where was the kappa!

 

[optimus8936]

Why is it voidwalkers OP?

This is why

Embrace the void+the hunger+axion bolts+T5 discipline on void walker makes the CoE so easy this week, lobbing grenades everywhere and restoring health with grenade kills, so much fun.

 

[Robdraggoo]

But where was the kappa!

I failed. Lol

 

[Namikaze1]

It was fun being Hawkian's replacement for the first run last night. No one is going to let WipedOut forget what he did.

Nah, was with his regular raid group. Hawkian couldn't make it for the first run so I joined in.

You could do it with a gjalahorn. I bet you could kill like three thralls with it
