[WeTeHa]

I'm in the same position as you. I'm down.

Cool, then we have 3.

 

[Pandora012]

I will do a run, no mic though

 

[Nothus]

Looking forward to everything in the update, my concern though is that this could potentially be all we're getting as far as new stuff until the big one in the fall.
So the stuff in the update has to keep us going for...5 months?! Yikes.

 

[stay gold]

Anyone got opinions of the pdx 45 from gunsmith this week?

1: Hammer Forced, Feather Mag / Private Eye / Smallbore, Lightweight

2: Perfect Balance, Casket Mag / Rangefinder / Snapshot, Reinforced Barrel

3: Fitted Stock, Oiled Frame / Unflinching / Snapshot, Smallbore


I have the order on two characters and was going to maybe buy the second option this week and save my othet pdx 45 order for a CB or HH roll next week. Isint range on pulses better then highest stability?


Edit: i know everyones discussing the new update but shameless bump for new page.

Give them a miss this week.

The thing with roll 2 is Perfect Balance reduces range (though it doesn't actually tell you this) and Reinforced Barrel reduces stability, so you're not getting much benefit from either one.

^ I can do some Friday Trials. I'll even play on PS4!

Igor needs his Scarab! He's been wanting to play with you anyway. I can help, but I don't know if I can go all the way. I got my Scarab at 14 wins last weekend and he went all the way to 20 without one. :-/

Can run with an alt with you after we do this one.

You'll be around too right? Need to get as much of my Trials fix done Friday as I can.

Sure, invite whenever.

Oh bell yeah. I can run a card, not sure I can go the full 2+ hours required for a Scarab farm. Maybe we can sub in Drizz for final boss run.

Replaced the original header I had for the April Update thread with this:

Wish I could get this pic without the whole April Update and stream dates+content so that I can use it as a wallpaper. Best I could do was this:

Which is the faster way of levelling up from level 30 to 40?

Any EU players willing to help?

Game Informer also has 100 screenshots from the new update stuff. More pics of the Taken PoE arenas and enemies, as well as the new (?) sword, taken shader/weapon etc.

And I managed to get a T5 DISC/STR Fun Police Build

Chappy's fun. Got several Triple Kills playing in Mayhem with the self-imposed rules of shotty/grenade only.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Prison of Elders was fun because shotguns were powerful. There needs to be a shotgun buff in this update.

At least we have swords, though.

I'm not sure how exactly the stats work out with those various perk combinations, but none of those rolls look too OP. The word from that recent Crucible Playbook post was that range actually has more affect than stability on all the bullets from a burst doing damage (or crit damage). Higher stability would improve the burst grouping but that didn't always translate to getting critical hit markers as consistently as higher range did.

Personally I've never done any testing myself but any roll that gives you decent range and stability boosts is a good option. You'd also probably want CB as the extra perk instead of any of those options there, although I've never been a huge pulse rifle guy so other folks might know better.

Give them a miss this week.

The thing with roll 2 is Perfect Balance reduces range (though it doesn't actually tell you this) and Reinforced Barrel reduces stability, so you're not getting much benefit from either one.

Thanks guys for the replies! I will hold off then and wait for the god rolls. I also did not know PB reduces range! Who knows after April 12th, pulses might be irrelevant in the new meta.

Dear Jesus I need that new Titan armor.

 

[LTWood12]

Actually it could be a Wolfslayer's claw.

I really hope there's a way to change the light color. It's the best Titan armor since ToO (which I still haven't ever been able to get a piece of)

I haven't been able to watch the stream, but from what I'm reading, can't say I'm too thrilled.

I don't like that it appears there is still ranged drops, I really wish they would have done away that.

I'm holding out hope for the PvP changes. I've morphed into a PvP player only over the past 3-4 months and it doesn't look like anything here to change that yet.

 

[the_id]

Sign me up for the weekend.

Added you to the list.

Funny but pretty pathetic on there part

[Tri4]

Picked up one of the pdx 45s and now I regret it. It has almost max stability but still recoils pretty well to the left. This is like hard light all over again. I'm done with pulses with their fake stability unless they have counterbalance.

Ah, the great "DeejSuckMyBallsGate" controversy. I can't muster much interest in any Destiny-drama but it does make me laugh that he subscribed to their channel and still got banned.

Where are the "ranged drops" and where are the "guaranteed max light" drops?

If it's a bunch of ranged stuff, I'm with you. O U T

Max level gear will be behind challenge modes again. I'm definitely only taking my Warlock forward after seeing that shit show

You're referring to the PoE challenge mode right? The "weekly bounty" where you earn 30000/90000 points. Doing those will give you guaranteed max light rewards, right?

For saying Deej can suck my balls, what next ban him from the game entirely?

Uhh if I have a live show before an audience full of people ranging all ages and somebody interferes, uninvited, insulting me? Yeah I'll ban him from participating in my shows in the future.

Twitch actually suspended his channel for like 2 weeks for violation of community rules back when he pulled that stunt. I'm all for criticizing games and companies but insulting people in front of a live digital audience of thousands is a dick move 100% of the way. He's the pathetic one.
