What control scheme is everyone using? I've been using Puppeteer, which maps crouch to the right stick, for about week now and god damn if this shouldn't have been the default button layout. The core gameplay is nearly flawless imo, but it bugged the shit out of me having to take my finger off aim to slide and crouch(both of which are extremely useful). Now feel as though I have complete control over my character. The ability to strafe, turn, and aim while seamlessly crouching for better accuracy as needed makes a tremendous friggin difference.

In my opinion the best control schemes in fps's are the ones that don't require you to ever take your right thumb off the stick. Jump and crouch should be shoulder buttons or on the sticks.

With that said, I use default, haha.

Sometimes I'll forget about that ability when I melee mid-sprint. Such a nice little "surprise" to one-shot a dude with your shoulder/knee.

Nightfall seems easier than heroic at lvl 28 thanks to triple burn modifier, almost beat the Priest solo but got one-shotted by one of the snipers. Using Aethon primary with void damage, literally rips through entire groups of Vex in single clip. Will try again in the morning.

Do you have to finish the bounties for Bad Juju, Thorn and/or Invective to have a chance at getting the Pocket Infinity bounty? It just seems more than an coincidence that the 5 exotic bounties (5th today) between my two characters have all been exactly the same choices.

No, that was the first exotic bounty I received.

Yea I tend to do the same, the last few weeks I've been heavily using the Defender class but the last match I went full out attack with Striker and it helps so much more. I did miss the shoulder/knee and the superman super.

Did Bungie already patch the Terminus platforming spot? I just got all the way to the last jump and hit an invisible wall all three times I tried to jump to the portal/beam thing.

At this point, I feel like this game is self-aware and actively trying to annoy me in any way possible. So after doing the Raid for the third time and only receiving a so-so shotgun and a second Chatterwhite while still not having obtained any piece of Raid armor, I go and do the Nightfall. Guess what? For the first time I actually got an Exotic from it!



Sunbreakers.

The one piece of Exotic armor I already own.
That thing that has been sold by Xur for three out of four visits.

C'mon, just give me something...

I'll get my FWC Rank to 2 for the HC/SR Chest Armor and maybe collect some Vanguard Marks for a Rare Sparrow, but then I'm ready to put this game down for a while and go to Mordor. I just have nothing to work towards in Destiny anymore... I have no real use for the vendor Legendaries, I can't control getting Exotic bounties or what Exotic bounties I'll get, I can't influence the dice rolls on whether I'll get Raid armor or not, I can't influence my chances of getting loot from the Crucible, I cannot choose to take on tougher enemies to get a better chance at loot, etc.

The only reliable sources for late-end-game progression are Xur ( only on weekends ), The Raid ( weekly lockout ) and Nightfall ( weekly lockout ), all three of which ( by pure chance and RNG ) have pretty consistently not given me anything I need to make any sort of progress.

yup i don't like how you're either waiting for the next week or depending on RNG to make progress. high-end content only matters for one day, and then the rest of those days you're doing bounties replaying the same stuff hoping to get lucky.

i get what they were going for but the system needs a lot of fine tuning, even going as far to suggest an overhaul. loot patch was step in right direction, but since then i've been given shards and ascendent energy from most high end content almost exclusively. you can already dismantle legendary gear to earn the same amount, but you can use shards if the game isn't dropping any gear for you.

Got the Hard Light exotic auto rifle from the Nightfall strike. Seems okay once the stability is upgraded. Glad I didn't spend the coins on the Suros last week. People that use it, how is it in pvp/pve? Worth leveling up?

Finished the Nightfall and Heroic Weekly with wearethearmada and LiK. I got The Devil You Know with better upgrade abilities than the one the Vanguard is selling. Mine came with "Increased range when ADS" and "Last bullet does more damage."

so wait the burn modifiers works for players too?
Click to expand...

Doesn't burn modifier apply both ways? I'm getting 11k critical on my solar sniper, its usually 3-4k on normal non-burn missions, so it definitely works for players too.

just got my first legendary primary via leveling my vanguard to rank 3

how good/bad is the Bad Seed Down pulse rifle?

i was grinding tiger strikes for marks to purchase the Shadow Price AR

do i still spend the 150 marks on it or go with something else?
Click to expand...

I don't know that you want shadow price either. It seems very close to Dr. Nope unless I am mistaken. I have Dr. Nope and with the stability upgrade it is nice but the TTK seems soooooo long. I'm thinking about going Grim Citizen instead. Anyone know about this one?

Haha Tiemen, the game is now going out of its way to fuck with you.

It's self-aware.

It's Skynet.
