Sorry Macello.

I'm actually playing with Rubenov right now, but I just got kicked out of a game. :/

Perhaps when we're done.

QUESTION

Should I buy an emerald coil?

I don't like the looks of any rare sparrows currently, but I love the color green. Don't want to waste 23 strange coins before the expansion, but will these still be sold? Anything great about those upgrades over the raid sparrows?

It makes your sparrow faster than a rare sparrow, so thats nice.
They will likely still be sold after TTK drops, but if you don't already have a raid sparrow, its nice to have a legendary sparrow for the added speed.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

IB feels like a real grind fest this time around.

I still need to aggressively farm glimmer too

Do it!

There's a green sparrow somewhere that looks cool with the coil.

 

[Kalamari]

Ask Drizz, Rubenov, or Wicked. They all are fantastic players and have helped so many in Dgaf get to Mercury. Unstable used to be the go to for carries but he is busy fixing his desk nowadays.

Unstable will probably have his desk fixed by the time Drizzay finishes his Thunderlord post.

I have to admit, I have seen the light. I was a bit scared going into Trials for the first time with TLW, but man its an awesome gun. Close to 10 Mercury runs so far with it now I think. Never picking up Thorn again.

Green trail looks cool. The boost is slightly faster than the raid sparrow but you don't have the special exploding perk to go even faster.

It's the gun that makes Destiny feel like Destiny to me.

I wonder what changes the Year 2 version will have, if any.

Nice! Now swap that shotgun out for a sniper and you're good

Confirmed Mehbot Ghost

Edit: Its lonely at the top

You'll always be lonely in the middle.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I really never hated playing PvP in Destiny, I just hated facing shotgunners. But Iron Banner has really instilled a hatred for "high leveled" play. Nearly everyone in Iron Banner play like an absolute pussy with blink/shotgun. It's truly disgusting.

Rant over.

I'd say that TLW definitely suits your hyper aggressive playstyle more than Thorn does.

Thorn 2.0

Now damage over time stacks up to 5x, and final round has been moved to first round.
The new perk for 2.0 is one random bullet has the ability to turn foe into friendly for the victims remaining life.​

This is all bullshit. don't believe my lies.

Replace TLW with Hawkmoon and that's me.

Massive fan of the Hawkmoon especially when it procs on a revive!

The current meta makes pvp feel like complete ass. Its not fun if you're not using a hand cannon and shotgun combo.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

TLW >>>> everything

 

[Dunk#7]

Do it!

There's a green sparrow somewhere that looks cool with the coil.

I didn't really like the one that was green and yellow. Looking for green and black or maybe green and white

Iron Banner isn't "high level", it's just laggy. It also attracts a lot of people who don't usually play PvP, so your chances for having terrible teammates is super high.

If you wanna see truly high level play, check out guys like Warbulletproof (Sunsinger/TLW/Sniper), AEGabriel (Striker/TLW/Sniper), or any of 13Devils (Nghtly, Catfanone) who generally use TLW/Sniper too.

Of course blink shotgun is also part of high level play, but not exactly the way you'll find with randoms in Iron Banner.

 

[EJRobinson90]

I'd say that TLW definitely suits your hyper aggressive playstyle more than Thorn does.

It even suits my hyper passive play style. Although according to Destinytracker I had almost twice as much sniper kills than TLW kills this weekend

 

[Kadey]

Running with the knights again.

Holy Diver is one of the hardest games. I know someone who can beat it without dying and in world record type timing.

[SgtCobra]

lol I still can't snipe for shit. Shotguns it is, can't see it changing when TTK drops.

TLW is love. TLW is life.

 

[gutter_trash]

Sure, let me boot my PS4 up.

thanks allot bro! that LFGer dump us at the end LOL

thank to you, my Triumph is complete

Haha, preach!

Its got a lot going for it, but in the right hands its massively OP.
Im more of a fan of true sci-fi stuff, a throwback like TLW is nice, but I hope TKK has more of the fantasy/sci-fi stuff in store for us.

Nice! Now swap that shotgun out for a sniper and you're good



You'll always be lonely in the middle.

I tried, but I don't have the patience for sniping. Gotta get right in the middle of where the action is man!

I'd say that TLW definitely suits your hyper aggressive playstyle more than Thorn does.

Yeah, I don't know how my playstyle ever worked out with Thorn haha!

Replace TLW with Hawkmoon and that's me.

Massive fan of the Hawkmoon especially when it procs on a revive!

I gotta try the Hawkmoon again sometime, used it once when I sucked at PvP and never looked at it again.

 

[VE3TRO]

lol I still can't snipe for shit. Shotguns it is, can't see it changing when TTK drops.

I'm the complete opposite. I've been doing really well with the snipers but I can only kill with a shotgun from behind.

 

[daedalius]

Why subject myself to the terrible meta of pvp right now if it's changing in a week and a half?

I really should stop.

 

[SgtCobra]

I'm the complete opposite. I've been doing really well with the snipers but I can only kill with a shotgun from behind.

I can't hit a target even if they stood still. I have literally no idea how to use those things. Shotguns are pretty straight forward imo aim and the death will follow.
Sad that Fusion Rifles suck and will keep on sucking in comparison with shotties.

 

[DarKshodaN]

Holy Shit, just did VoG Hard with a nice Team, and i got a Hawkmoon and Vex Mythoclast.

RnG Jesus was nice to me, today

Congrats! Both cool guns to play around with, Hawkmoon sure is a looker (And damn good gun at that)

 

[Kyoufu]

Blink really needs a big nerf. Really really big nerf.

/frustrated

 

[DarKshodaN]

Thanks, i never tought this guns would drop for me ever and then boom both in 1 Raid.
So happy right now

 

[igordennis]

Damn playing other modes while IB is going on is ridiculous.

If any of the pros (wicked, rubenov, drizzay etc) want to take me to mercury let me know.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

How long do you guys think it will take someone to find all 50 pieces of that new exotic in TTK?

 

[VE3TRO]

8 more strikes for Juju. Such a grind. (╥_&#9573

I've done pretty well these past weeks with fusions especially the Plan C what Xur is selling at the moment. I haven't fully upgraded it but the range is great.

Hey I told you I would play with you today. I want to play!

 

[Twilight Gap]

mfw you guys have been raging about Thorn Blink and Shotguns knowing full well the patch is 2 weeks away

 

[Kadey]

Oh boy.

 

[illiniguy05]

Ran into zl_chriss in skirmish. I out dueled him once, but he wrecked our shit

 

[todd360]

2 weeks too late. Amirite you guys? We want instant gratification! Its my money and I need it now!

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

5 days.

That seems realistic. I'll probably find it a couple days after a guide is posted.

Nice. Glad to see the 2.0 stuff goes live the 8th not the 15th.

 

[Ambitious]

Rubenov and Wicked don't post here often, don't they? I need to ask them for help with ToO.

 

[Duebrithil]

thanks allot bro! that LFGer dump us at the end LOL

thank to you, my Triumph is complete

No problem man, it was my pleasure.

Pulling through when things got hectic after the second mine phase and Skolas was almost dead was a relief. Dying then would have been soulcrushing.

Was GAF down on the 4th? This is also a few weeks old. Although I guess we didn't know the patch date back then.

 

[Kadey]

Oh boy again.

I am a believer in snapshot.

And despite the spear being more powerful, the HB feels lighter and more accurate.

 

[itsnervedamage]

Anyone running poe? Preferably skolas but I'm willing to do the other stuff too.
