Bungie said on twitter today they’re actually going to switch to gpu based matchmaking GBMM. Basically matching people up with similar video cards/gpu. They think this should normalize frame rates between players better, fixing the problems they’ve had with warlock and other melee ttk and shoulder charge aiming. They’re trying to fix this by tinkering with the animation frames but have found GBMM works better than anything else. Unfortunately does not take into account Elo or any other skill based anymore.

I’m a low resilience hunter. I just hang around in the back Stomp jumping away from danger.

The frustrating part is that I was actually contributing, not completely hiding and AFKing like one wizard in our group.

I think more and more people are going to be bottlenecking into this achievement at once. Which I’m sure will greatly enhance the experience.

I feel like the deathless sundial was easier before Inotam, when you only had to worry about one kind of instakill special attack, not three.

I lucked out and did a run during the week that wish-ender could delete anything, and got both the no-deaths and speedy triumph at the same time.

Glitched wishender was loving incredible, same when 1kV was glitched to give all your weapons +25% damage. Things died in a reasonable number of shots, it was wonderful.

Still never touched the nightmare hunts. Is that worth doing? I just obsessively chase bounties for the false sense of accomplishment.

My quest log has condensed from four pages to less than two. I guess I'm ready for a new season of non-pinnacle rewards.

You can get:

1) a pinnacle drop for doing a master (980) tier, per week per character

2) unlock more of the moon weapons. I think the shotgun, sniper and grenade launcher are decent with the right rolls. Can't remember what unlocks where though.

3) triumphs, and some cosmetics

The sniper is extremely good. The grenade launcher can be good but farming it requires strike grinding (unique among moon weapons, all the rest can be done on the moon itself).

I got my deathless run accomplished by literally hiding with a loading machine gun and unloading whenever the purple bubble happened.

To get the title, I must -

- Do the hard mode Sundial. Hello, Adregan. I look forward to doing business with you. :downs:

- Unlock the Vanguard Tactician Badge (Just gotta run a bunch)

- Unlock the Komodo. I've got all the kills, but I have to get to Heroic.

Is comp Heroic feasible for someone as useless as me in ten days?

Heroic is 1050 glory, totally doable in a day or two of casual play. Stick with your teammates, don't stand out in the open and shoot the other guys in the face.

The way the glory system works now you can lose your way to heroic in enough games, though you'd have to *really* try to accomplish that. You got this.

Comp is a lot easier now (since shadokeep) in that you don't get knocked down very much on a loss if you even get a few shots on someone in a match. They also changed how streaks work so you don't lose the streak completely on a loss. Even if you lose half your games you'll be averaging something like 100 points up for a win, 15 points down for a loss. You only need 1050 glory points for heroic.

Also make sure you do at least 3 matches this week before tuesday reset, as the free points you get for playing comp at all will get you 15% of the way there.

I'm still beyond shocked that I somehow got four in a row. Match three went down 3-1 and a guy on my team just went absolutely beast mode and brought it back.

It also felt good to wipe a team with a blade barrage. I got some black and gold Shaxx emblem that I certainly don't deserve.

Yeah Target. I haven't tried it yet but i cant see how it couldn't be better than RR after they nerfed the hidden range bonus.

Stability isn't all that important on a gun that is sticky as gently caress and really only needs body shots.
