Destiny

Re: Destiny

Yeah the nightfall this week and last week were so easy.

I agree the new PoE weapons are bad and so far all the gear rolls suck too...and most of it looks horrible IMO.

Trials has good stuff but it's not for everyone as you mentioned and after awhile it's annoying playing against a bunch of tryhards with thorns and final round snipers.

Plus I wonder if any of the stuff we have currently carries over to the new game coming out in September or whenever or do we have to start all over again?

Everything Bungie did is server based, there's no doubt in my mind it carries over. It is more of an expansion than a brand new Destiny.

Re: Destiny

I don't think the poe weapons are bad at all. I love the sniper, the machine gun is good for when you need a void machine gun, and the hand cannon is really good imo; I got an arc damage one, and it's pretty much a fatebringer trading faster melee/grenade cooldown for firefly/outlaw. I use those weapons regularly. Shadow of Veils is my go to sniper now (though that could be because I don't have blackhammer).

Don't have the hand cannon or sniper but I do have the machine gun, it's decent.

There are much better alternatives out there and the fact that you can reroll the new legendaries now and you can't reroll the PoE ones make them ehhhh IMO

There are better alternatives to everything at this point, with the possible exception of fatebringer (though there are comparable alternatives) and black hammer for bosses. Outside of Iron Banner weapons, I haven't seen anything much better. Her Benevolence is probably equal, or close to equal, with Shadow of Veils. I got my poe sniper with bonus damage to all fallen, so I lucked out there (though that doesn't seem to apply to Skolas for whatever reason).

Re: Destiny

The hand cannon fails because it doesn't have firefly, that's what makes fatebringer so good.

The machine gun is OK, there are better ones out there (Jolders and Corrective Measure for starters), but it's not horrible.

Rocket launcher is poop.

Fusion rifle is OK, but with the shotgun buff I never use fusions anymore.

Sniper is fairly mediocre, the Queen's sniper is better (they are almost the same, queen's gives up ever so slightly less range, but has potentially better perks)

The list goes on, kind of like that. Like he said, not being able to be rerolled and not having good unique perks (even the best of them, bonus damage to all fallen, is fairly mediocre in the grand scheme) makes them all fairly mediocre. I could see me using the machine gun maybe, but mostly because I haven't decided it's worth it to try and get something else and roll it into something better since I don't use machine guns too often, especially void where I would prefer to keep Truth on me instead.

Re: Destiny

I prefer lower rate of fire machine guns, so I'd take the poe over corrective measure any day. To me, it's a void thunderlord. I like it. My sniper does 16% more damage to fallen; it outdamages just about every other sniper, against a very common foe. And while firefly is cool, it's usefulness I think is overated besides against thrall (and in the hive room, I'm more likely to use VoC anyway). Enemies often aren't grouped enough to be effected by it. With six dreg, everytime I kill something solo (which is a lot with a handcannon), I'm getting grenade/melee energy, which boosts my overall damage output.

I also never use fusion rifles, and the rocket looks very meh. I still want a void scout/pulse rifle.

Re: Destiny

Yeah I got on to do one nightfall last night after the NBA finals and I just feel burned out now.

There are a few things I want, mainly better VOG gear for crucible but I think I'm finally hitting that wall.

Me too man me too. After watching 4/6 of my Raid team get Gjallerhorns and the ease that it makes some of the PoE stuff, I'm just starting to get over it all. Not to mention that after the shine wears off HoW, doesn't seem like that great of an expansion to the PvE side of things. Great for PvP and that community deserved something like this for sure.

Re: Destiny

I really like HoW, but now I've got all 3 chars maxed, close to every gun I want, nearly every exotic armor I want (still want a few of the new ones), once I finish the bounties I have, I'll only be missing 3 exotic weapons. It's a game about grinding stuff out, and I've done just about everything unfortunately. I guess I could start trying to solo stuff?

Yeah, at this point, two of my buddies have moved on to ESO, and once I get it, I'll be spending less time with this as well. Right now, I'm sitting on 4 etheric light and just waiting to decide which gear to ascend to get all my characters to 34.

I'm still having fun, but the new expansion shine wore off fairly quick. The first two weeks, I did every Queen's bounty for every character, but now I only knock out one for the free key.

And yeah, I agree that it is more PvP centric. I won't say I didn't have fun doing Trials, as I did, but it's so high stress that I don't really want to play it again. The gear is definitely awesome, and I wish the PoE gear followed suit.

I feel the pain. Nothing worse than wasting the final 4 hours of ToO before reset with scrubs and spending all of your passge coins.

If you ever run into a final round, or a group of snipers. Switch to shotguns then find them and rush em. Don't stand anywhere in the open and don't try to snipe with any final round guys. It's not worth the stress.

If you check every player before hand you'll get a sense of how they play and come up with a strategy from there. Once you get them to switch from sniping to shotguns. Snipe.

Me and my guys ran into a couple final rounds before and we literally heard them wasting bullets to get that last bullet. But the key to ALL that is to rush down snipers so they can't get special ammo. Alot of guys will just camp for supers and special ammo then actually start playing.

Sidenote: I hope I don't run into any of you guys in the trials after giving you some of these tips lol. My guys & I don't use that cheese. I mean we d0 use Thorns but most times we'll run Hawkmoons.

Either way don't limit yourself if you wanna win. Use guns you are good with but if you run into a group of Thorns. Switch to a Thorn. Don't limit yourself thinking it's cheap because in reality it's just a strategy that works. Final Round however is cheap especially when the guy ONLY uses the last bullet. That's an actual exploit but The Last Word beats the Thorn everytime. You just gotta know how to rush effectively. If you get close enough they won't have time to ADS.

Re: Destiny

^yeah I know how to play I've gone flawless a few times it's just really annoying and I don't like wasting my time playing scrubs that resort to cheap tactics to win but it's all good man.

Thanks for the tips though

Re: Destiny

Wasted a bunch of time/synths on Skolas tonight without downing him. I have no idea why it didn't happen after doing on the second try last night. Had to give up after I ran out of synths. Guess I'll just have to try Friday after xur comes back

Re: Destiny

These fallen weapons would be so much better if they did bonus damage to servitors. Why bungie thought anybody needed bonus damage to shanks is beyond me.
