Would you agree that shot package was kinda bullshit and it's good that it's gone? UR is basically that without the constraints of Special ammo! So you can have a team of shot package + the ability to snipe. It's kind of a problem IMHO and I will be surprised if Bungie doesn't take notice. I highly doubt it was their intention to be able to double up on the benefits of Special so easily and with so few penalties. NLB gets away with it because...well, it's NLB, lol. It's not exactly user friendly.

I'd be down to help out with Oryx this evening from 7:30 Irish Time, if that suits. Wouldn't mind starting from Warpriest if we have time.
Does anyone else need it?
Sounds good, I can get online around 8pm. I'd be down for a Warpriest start as well.
You are on PS4, right?

You can hit the enemy with the handle alone, no need for heavy ammo. Takes two hits to kill but is a lot faster, just need some wits and you are done
Sit on corners, wait for people to run close, charge and swing and pray.
When you can get HW ammo, grab it. It will make things much easier.
It's not as painful as it seems.
Play with a friend who is willing to run to you and get killed with the hilt. Agreeing on a specific location per map is a good start.
Is there anything I need to know going into RoI?
Obviously things like getting as many vendors to reward point to take advantage of new items in engrams, saving up legendary marks, etc...
Two questions:
1. Exotics? I have almost every Y1 item, but they're not good for anything now but normalised PvP and exotic shards, right?
2. Should I be spending marks on Y2 Exotics or saving?

This week's PvP featured mode in Inferno 6v6, so use the lack of radar to sneak around and hit people with the hilt. Hide whenever necessary as advised.

Thanks.
I have my eye on one of the vendor snipers an auto rifles. Could definitely use both.
Should I wait still?
Thank you all! I didn't know you can get kills using the hilt, so that should make things much easier taking into account I'm pretty bad at acquiring HW ammo. I'll give it a try this afternoon
And btw, in case someone has to get those 25 sword kills as well, just let me know and we can arrange some non-stop crucible killing to make it faster

Yup! PSN is Ninja_Kn1ght
You get a real good Conspiracy Theory for a TTK quest line.
Other than that? Wait for Rise of Iron and get Dead Orbit's new shotty.

Is there a newbie raid coming up? A friend I made during the Destiny Refer-A-Friend is still looking to complete his first raid but I've been so busy with IRL stuff
I have all of the trials emblems but not all of the iron banner ones. Now I wish I would have grinded IB for them

That weapon is a three time casualty of my past indifference to PvP. :'(
Do we know what the vendor rolls are going to be come RoI?
Nice, thanks. Will check some out.

I'll trade ya for a Scarab! Sun of Osiris is still attainable as a random drop, is it not?
Hmm, I thought the only three IB emblems were the ones you can buy pretty early on. I don;t think they are going away in year 3 so you should be able to get them pretty easily still
Unless... they are actually going away :/

Jolly Holiday Quest Update - Had some very productive rounds in Crucible last night. Went from 5 percent to 64% in around 8 matches. The trick is to NOT to use the last word and only equip it when you have supers or at the end of rounds. went on some decent sprees in Mayhem but it was disheartening to get a double kill medal, die and LOSE progress.
Tomorrow is Arms day so today i have to get to 100%, then donate 15k glimmer which sucks because i spent 20k on weapon parts a couple of days ago, then kill 16 majors which shouldnt be too hard and finally do the shield brothers quest. All in one day. Hopefully there are some trains going on early this evening.

Would you guys consider Hidden Hand + Rifled Barrel + Life Support a god roll for a fusion rifle? It's a Split Shifter Pro so it's already got what I think is the fastest charge time and very high impact.

Doing NF, and need one more, if anyone wants to join.

So Sterling Treasure packages become legacy on Thursday?
Guess I should turn in my stockpile?

It took 350 days for my first Eyasluna to drop with either Rifled/Reinforced
Today I got this
Then 4 games later this
Still got the worlds most annoying set of shaxxfall to do for a shot at 3 for the day as well

I never really made the connection but they're totally going to use private matches as a justification for SBMM, aren't they?

Mayhem playlists provide a ton of heavy ammo. Rumble playlists provide a ton of targets.
Ideally you'd complete this in a Mayhem Rumble game, although it's not available every week.

Not really but it's an ok roll. Split shifter is the weakest fusion in Y2 but it has the highest charge time of all fusions available right now. It's weak because you need to hit 6 out of 7 bolts to kill due to low impact. Accelerated coils would be ideal. If you want a fast charging fusion get the panta rhei from the crucible quartermaster.

Pretty much, Lars said it in either the game informer or Edge interviews
Ya...Mayhem clash was the best way for me, that just ended this week though.
You guys want to give it a run? Ruthless want to come too? Or at least mind jumping in game to give out the checkpoint?
Pretty sure I have mocolos and Japanman on friends already. You're mocolos_usa right? My PSN is KC_Darkness.
I don't know what it is about this game but you go through crazy gear droughts and then one decent drop heralds a torrential downpour of stuff.It took 350 days for my first Eyasluna to drop with either Rifled/Reinforced

I did not have a single Y2 rocket launcher with G&H for months, got a crappy one to drop, got a SUROS from the Quartermaster, and then got a nice Vertigo from a FWC rank up package all in one week.

Was literally just talking about the Eyasluna in party chat last night, then in discord this morning.
I've had one sitting in my vault for a few months, and wasn't sure if it was worth keeping due to the perks. Mine rolled with Truesight IS, Outlaw, Rifled Barrel & Icarus. I don't normal jump around and shoot at people, but I'll give it a shot due to the perk now. I've been out of the game way too long to know what's good and what isn't anymore.
Going to level it up and try it when I get home to see how it is.
That being said, pvp loot drops are so few and far between for me, seems like 95% of the time it's some rare low LL gear or strange coins.
Hoping for any party crasher and a decent ash factory to drop still.

I must be confused about something - doesn't SBMM mean skill-based matchmaking? Because after playing dozens of hours in Trials all weekend (112+ games for all the gold packages), I can say without a doubt there is zero matchmaking as I was often going up against top-tier players whereas I am at the bottom-tier because I only just recently started playing Trials for the first time.
I would love it if Trials matchmaking was actually based on skill and not completely random...
Trials is based on wins. It's the only gametype that doesn't have SBMM. If you have 5 wins, you'll get matched up with a team with 5 wins. It gets progressively harder as you get closer to a full card. It also gets laggier as the game will literally match you with people from around the world.
