I don't care for PvP, but the Vex was awesome in PvE. Now there isn't much point in using it where I don't need Solar damage... So basically I should just not use it over the Ice Breaker now.

Vex was like getting a J Sword, or Dark Flow in PSO. Now Destiny doesn't have any awesome weapons that stand out over the others. It took me 160 hours to get it, and yet it is now nerfed to the point that it is as useful as the Handcannon I picked up at LV20.

RNGesus is trying to win my favor back after the "5 strange coins" incident from two nightfall runs last week.

Solo'd this afternoon, got Patience and Time as a reward.

Comes on the heels of Ice Breaker Weekend, so RNGesus still has some work to do to win me over.

I got P&T before Xur Ice Breakers and I don't see myself using it much outside of Arc burns.

Bungie can do whatever the fuck they want with PVP - but messing with PVE because of PVP is still the dumbest shit ever. It's childish. It ruined a prestigious hard raid reward (some of us went through the whole raid). I had to constantly try with different groups and it was exhausting. The Vex is supposed to be the prime reward for achieving something many want. Now they just made everything equal. I just hate the whole "everyone needs to be equal" mentality. I wasted a lot of weekends on Destiny and I want something cool to show for it. I want to murder the Vex with their own weapons and enjoy it.

Yeah and people REALLY underestimate the range of handcannons. Some of them (like the Lord High Fixer) have really incredible range capabilities. They don't lose much power at all at distance and headshots are almost easier to pull off when the target is far away.

I really think they have the biggest payoff of any weapon in the game, because the damage is so high when you get control of your target acquisition and accuracy.

Agreed. When my aim is good I can drop people far faster then if I'm aiming just as well with an AR. Too bad my aim sucks 80% of the time. :\

it's weird they aren't able to balance the weapons between PVE and PVP. why do they have to be the same across both modes?

 

[Pilgor]

% 34 Damage reduction, according to Bungie' s patch notes.

Bungie lied, it's a 44% decrease to base damage.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Void shotgun or fusion rifle and a void machine gun in Rumble.

This, plus a Void Subclass if you've got it.

 

[Hoodbury]

Someone tell me the best method for void kills in pvp?

Here's what I posted earlier in the thread:
I'd suggest doing one of the smaller game sized modes like Rumble or Skirmish as they have the smaller maps in their rotation. I started at Rumble and was going real slow and switched to Skirmish and did a lot better. Something about having the support of teammates helps me out. Try to have both your special weapon and your heavy weapon both be Void damage. I'd suggest a Void machine gun over a rocket launcher as you can usually get more kills.

I also had to do something I never do in PvP games and that is leave games where I'm just extremely over matched. I felt bad leaving, but this bounty is such BS that losing too many points and making it drag on even longer was just too much for me and my morals. Normally when people are beating me, I'll stick it out and let them get their win over me; they deserve it in my opinion.

I can't really recommend Fusion rifle or shotgun as I suck with both but I ended up using a fusion rifle. I only had a rare one so it wasn't even that good. But other people do just fine with shotguns, so use whichever one you are more comfortable with.

Also keep in mind assists count, so stick with your teammates and try to 'tag' every enemy so you can at least get assists.

Took me around 4 hours to complete. Have fun

If you're not a hunter pick the subclass that does purple damage, that way super, grenade and your special melee all count.

... you're a hunter, though, aren't you? Everyone is.

 

[TheOMan]

Thanks to lZR0COOLl for running the Nightfall with me. It was a good run. I got a Legendary Engram out of it, that unfortunately turned blue.

However, I just realized that's not supposed to happen anymore, right?

So, did the new patch screw it up? Should I be contacting Bungie??

 

[Llyrwenne]

Mine didn't have the Glass Half Full and Field Scout and I checked earlier they're there

And you are 100% sure that the weapon at the Vendor did not have those perks before and that you bought your weapon at that Vendor?
I'm 99,999999% sure that the guns or the perks on them have not changed; Mark Vendors have not changed their stock since launch, and unless Bungie patches it in, they never will.

If you have a gun that is available at a Mark Vendor but with different perks, most likely one of the following things happened;
- You got it as a reward for a Nightfall.
- You got it from a Rare or Legendary Engram.
- You got it from a package for leveling up the Vanguard.

If something changed, it has to have changed just a few hours ago, as before that, when i went to check, nothing had changed. The app is incorrect.

 

[IXIKelsonIXI]

I got P&T before Xur Ice Breakers and I don't see myself using it much outside of Arc burns.

Yep. Can't imagine it being a priority to level by any means when I am already tossing around Ice Breaker between my characters, and in almost all scenarios IB wrecks shop.

At the very least though, I can stop saying I have never gotten an exotic drop in the game.

 

[FloatingDivider]

Finally get mythoclast, but it's been nerfed 2 hours prior. If only I could have gotten one pvp match in

It took someone inviting you into a hard lobby and pushing a guy off a ledge to get it. You really worked hard for it.

The game has plenty of awesome weapons that stand out.

Thorn is basically a tiny sniper rifle. The majority of my kills with it are headshots; the rest are DoT kills.

1 more for Nightfall!

Would anyone happen to be soloing the nightfall currently on Xbox One and would like a hand finishing it? :L

 

[scarletham]

Doesn't increasing intellect also increase the amount the bar refills for each individual kill/capture/revive?

It sure seems like it for me, but I'm at like 200 intellect at the moment.

Can anyone confirm that increasing intellect increases the amount you get refilled for kills etc?

In PvE, it slowly charges on it's own over a period of time even if you're standing still doing nothing. I believe it's referring to that.

EDIT: Beaten with a FoH

It increases for doing nothing too.

So if you stay without do nothing it will increase slowly in both PVE e PVP... and kills will make the increase be faster and orbs even faster.

Will it charge on its own in PvP as well?

 

[Johan Liebert]

I love The Last Word's animations. Love when your guardian twirls it when switching to it and has their hand on top when you shoot it.

 

[Bunta]

Suros still wrecks.

 

[postcyberpunk]

Anyone running Nightfall and need another; conversely, Anyone want to join me to run Nightfall? PSN name is in profile. Going to tower now.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

it's weird they aren't able to balance the weapons between PVE and PVP. why do they have to be the same across both modes?

Because we take the same gear into PvP that we use for PvE. That is where they fucked up.

I'll run with you! Assuming you're on PS4.

I don't see why the guns in the game can't have two set of stats for PvE and PvP. Then they can equalise PvP stats to there hearts content without effecting PvE.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

God damn scout rifles now. Wow.

 

[LiK]

Suros still wrecks.

phew

 

[Dave_6]

500 void kills is killing me man

No shit, me too. Wish I could find someone willing to cheese it for me. I'm at like 433/500.

LOL!

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be laughing at you. Wtf, Bungie.

 

[Diablohead]

You can feel the damage difference in the suros in PvP, the crit hits are not taking 50% of a players health away any longer, more like a third.

I still see a lot of galahad-e users :/

Yeah, let's not mistake "playing for 160 hours prior to getting something" for "working 160 hours for something".

 

[Blue Ninja]

Whoops, looks like my Warlock was the one who didn't do the Weekly Heroic yet. Oh well, got a Mote of Light out of it in the progress. :lol

 

[Tekku]

Is the "Send It" perk for the LHF overkill due to the Rangefinder upgrade?

No, I wouldn't say so. Range and accuracy are probably the most important stats for handcannons since you want to get frequent headshots at all distances. The Lord High Fixer is capable of dealing the highest amount of damage at the longest range of any handcannon in the game. It's a major deal in both PvE and PvP if you want to play it safe and still be lethal.

I'm buying The Chance next (FWC handcannon). It's quite the opposite to Lord High with short range but high stability and reload. A true close quarters gun, just like The Last Word. My hope is that it will have some hidden potential because I haven't seen anyone using it or even talking about it. But maybe it's pure crap, who knows. It will fit my handcannon collection well in any case.

[gatti-man]

Uhhhh, the vex still looks pretty damn solid based on that video. I love how the guy is like... wow this sucks, as he casually kill streaks players who even have the drop on him. Lol at "got killed by a pistol" It's a fucking hand cannon bra, and us hand cannoners don't take kindly to your patronizing tone. I need to rewatch the earlier vex PvP vids, I think I forgot how ridic OP that was in PvP. If that is what it looks like post "massive nerf" I am glad they did it (in PvP that is. No need to nerf anything in PvE)

a good hand cannon player is a force in pvp. There arent that many but boy do they melt face.

They should change it, everyone is gonna have the exact same gear end game.

 

[cakely]

I'd blow a blood vessel if I had to grind enough crucible rep for that. I got the FWC to rank 2 without ever touching the busted ass pvp.

Well, I enjoy the pvp, so it worked out.

Come to think of it though, how are you going to buy anything at FWC without crucible marks?

 

[Definity]

Bungle needs to allow me to switch out weapons in the vault to other characters from the companion app. I've gained weight now from all the sandwiches I've made with the tower loading screen.

Of course it makes sense for them to do it like that, but it requires more effort. Or they didn't think their systems through. Either way, it's dumb as shit, and by the time they get back to buffing the Vex the game will be in a different state. They have so MUCH competition this year with other shooters, instead of fucking over the core group of crack addicts (us) they need to realize that the there are two different communities that require different balances.

I am about to find myself another drug if this continues.
