What happened to crucible. Each match seems to get progressively sweatier.

I noticed it like midway through Iron Banner. All of a sudden, red bars and sweaty matches. Bet they added back in skill based matchmaking in some form.

Shaxx gave me a PC+1 with Agg. Balls, Up Close/Personal, Rifled Barrel/Smallbore and Surrounded. Too good with a Warlock in Inferno 6v6. So many hardscopers

Sounds good, but missing oiled frame
Didn't one of the last patches change something so they could adjust matchmaking on the serverside instead of rolling out a patch? If so, they'll never talk about changes to mm again and just fuck us.
Or was that just so they could update more playlists at the same time? I can't remember..

Never gonna get this control win -.- Playing like crap though so think I will just take a break for now.

I wouldn't bother its rigged against you. I've won 2/10 of my last control matches and in every single one the teams have been weighted against me. I can pull a +4000 points and 1.5kd and still lose, easily
Lnkn pls

Lvl 31 Warlock and a Level 29 Hunter. Although I was planning on using the Level 25 boost that you get with it to start a Titan.
I missed out on House of Wolves as well, are there story missions for that expansion to play through too?
I think that should get me sufficiently back into the swing of things though. Thanks

Yes, there are missions, strikes and Prison of Elders(28,32,34 and 35) for House of Wolves you can do. Once you beat the Taken King story missions, you should be close to level 40 and can start upgrading your light level by running strike playlists, crucible, court of oryx, etc.
Titan is a super fun class to play PVE, so go ahead and start a fresh lvl 25 titan with the boost.

Sounds good, thanks. Seems like there's a hell of a lot of content that's been added since I last played. Should give me plenty to be getting along with.

Going to have to leave quickly after this 3rd run so thanks in advance.

I was in your shoes about 3 weeks ago
Doing the house of wolves stuff and then the new taken king stuff will get you up to level 40 pretty quickly. At that point levelling to light level 335 is fairly smooth. The new levelling system is designed to be progressive and I won't say much other than just make sure to always have your highest light level stuff equipped as that effects your rewards. I.e decrypt one engram at a time at the cryptarch and make sure to equip the new stuff in order to progressively make the next engram even stronger
If you want someone to help out with strikes etc feel free to drop me a message!
Generally your in for a pretty good ride - the april update seems to have made the game a lot more friendly to newcomers - for me the destiny frustrations of year 1 are basically all but gone and im really enjoying it

Yeah, it NEEDS CB to be competitive in PvP. I do like the look and feel of the gun. Hopefully Variks will drop another for me sometime.

That's a relief, I was hoping there would be a fast route to level 40, didn't really fancy having to struggle through everything at a low level.
I can't remember why I stopped playing originally but it seems like everything that has been implemented over the past year has really solidified the overall game and the fanbase. Can't wait to jump back in.
I tried it out the last ToO for the first time and as expected it just melts people, and with 30 more AA then the Doctrine it just sticks to people like glue.
But I still prefer the Hawksaw.

That sounds awesome!
I am still partial to the Hawksaw/PDX myself, but that would be a fun 6v6 or IB gun.
Sounds good, but missing oiled frame
I use aggressive b, rifled barrel, crowd control and last resort in mine...what is the perfect roll?

I mean, I have one with persistence and perfect balance and it works just fine.

This is a sniper(mostly) montage my son made. He's 13 and, in my opinion, an absolute beast at this game.

It would mean a ton to him if y'all threw him some views. Also, he is always looking for a group so if you're looking his PSN is RNC_Gabe.
Thanks!

Just did a little math and worked out my hours played by expansion:
Van 195 hrs
TDB 159 hrs
HoW 161 hrs
TKK 280 hrs
I'm a little shocked at how much The Dark Below I played given how short it was and how I gave up after the hard raid came out.
On the equivalent Year 1 schedule, HoW still hasn't come out, so despite having little new content, I'm only 80 hours behind in playtime.
