Which brings me to a good point.

Is the A point always the shittiest point to hold? Because it definitely seems that way on most of the maps.

A is better on Firebase Delphi (inside spawn, closer to heavy) and probably Twilight Gap (better sniping positions, especially towards the outside heavy ledge). Maybe someone could make a case for some other maps but I think that's about it.

Countdown to some mlg pro telling me I'm wrong...

On that note I have no idea wtf bungie is trying to do with the pulse rifle types. At least with the Malok class, which is to the Hawksaw what the Hawksaw is to the Nirwens, it's tough to cross map people without an insane roll (and even then tough because the fire rate is so drat high). The hawksaw is at least a bit more forgiving in terms of gun feel.

Thats not the case with the Hawksaw vs. Nirwens. There's really no reason to use a Nirwens over a Hawksaw in PvP.

Let's not even talk about the Spare change/Lyudmila class right now.

They got scared of the old hopscotch/messenger's power

Destiny thread I know I haven't been around but please tell me if this Aegis of the Reefer is any good:

Ranged Lens RLS3/Quick Draw IS
Hammer Forged/Injection Mold
Headseeker High-Caliber Rounds
Rangefinder/Feeding Frenzy

My guess is decent but not near as good as the vendor hawksaw

e; got the perk wrong, now I think it's actually kind of not great

the silver dust or w/e it's called.

When you get the new treasure boxes that are replacing stirling you can break down the items into silver dust and use that to buy eververse poo poo if I remember right.

Seems like a way to get that poo poo free but probably it'll take a lot to get an emote or whatever.

Since like half the people playing say they can't see the grain, I assume Bungie turned the filter on by accident and no one there noticed. (There are going to be image filters you can buy from Eververse)

my eyes must be going too because sometimes I think I can see it, like if I quickly look away and look back but usually nothing and I'm wondering how people are finding it unplayable or getting headaches. So I want to know if I'm just blind or if I'm having an actual different experience.

hey goons I have a special weapon exotic engram should I try for Trespasser or should I just wait

I vote wait. Like, think of it this way- you open it now, maybe you get trespasser. A one out of however many exotic specials there are.

Or you wait until RoI and there's a bunch of new exotics, then you open and the odds of getting something new increases. Unless you really really want trespasser specifically and/or really want it a week and a half early.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:

This is my first weekend with the game. I've got 59 Strange Coins and I'm told I need to find "Xur" to spend them all. He's a hidden guy in the Tower on weekends, and he's got a rare item or two or three that I buy with my coins?

yes, he has an exotic piece of armour for each class and an exotic weapon.

Some things to consider:

If you don't like the item you don't have to buy it, he refreshes every week.
the items are 280 light. That's probably a big boost to you if you're new but later on when you're above 300 or so you're probably better off buying three of coins.

3oC are another item Xur sells (7 strange coins for 5 3oC). You activate one, then complete a crucible or kill an ultra pve boss (yellow bar with a skull, usually named, like a strike boss). You'll have a chance at receiving an exotic. Now pop another. If you didn't get an exotic you'll have slightly higher chance the next time. Repeat until out of coins.

3oC I think get more exotics in general than buying them from Xur, on average, but if you want something specific and Xur has it then go for it.

Gotta admit brfore the patch i thought eh yeah another patrol event I'll be bored of in 5 mins and now there isnt any im kind of disappointed.

Ttk was a pretty big change accross the board this feels a little light. Hope the expansion is good.

yeah kind of shame there isn't a blades/wolf pack style hype thing.

what did ttk even have in the pre-expansion patch period?

I think yeah there was some patrol updates- the race things, the taken kill mission (that no one could do because too low level), the mystery mission? and the wolves on mars spawn I think.

And yeah Bungie probably doesn't want to rock the boat too much for year 3. Like light/infusion/loot is in a good place, probably the best ever so not much change needed there.

I do hope for Destiny 2 they actually learned what works/doesn't and don't forget everything.

Team capping a relic is dumb as hell anyway.

pretty sure you get more points.

Like it's 100 points for each person in the circle when deploying

solo capping is the dumb because the enemy sabotaging it will get more points than you did for deploying. Sabotage is now 200 points no matter what (plus whatever from killing you to get to it) so you need to at least duo cap to break 'even'.

Just don't be like the guys in the gif and not react and stay bunched up

FishBulb posted:

They changed scoring on Salvage pretty significantly in the patch.

deploys are the same but they increased the amount for capturing and decreased for sabotaging (and also made it easier to cap)

100-300 for deploy (per person in circle)
200 for sabotage
200-600 for capture (per person in game)

so yeah having everyone sit around like potatoes on the point is stupid and asking to get blasted, but spreading out at first and then hopping in at the last second to score a few extra hundred points is not?

yeah if they've got super or heavy then no don't cap

or if they're clowning you or possibly if it's just even

or if the point is in a bad place (like the middle platform in sector 69)

but with the lowered time limit it means one less push and the higher score for capping means they have to respond so they'll start rushing in without thinking and as long as you don't go down 3-0 or something you'll likely at least go even in points.

probably,

maybe.

The khovstov thing was always "haha look at this piece of poo poo I kept from the first mission." It's like the box of raisins, completely useless and always will be but people treasure it because it proves they're old school or some stupid poo poo.

I guess Bungie saw a thread on reddit chatting about it and decided they absolutely must turn it into a thing.

yeah I mean maybe it was ok-ish when high impact auto rifles were good but its value was always clowning on fools and laughing at how poo poo it was and they were for dying to it

or for taking into raids and seeing how long it took until someone noticed you did 0 damage

when people got mad at bloom in halo reach it made me laugh because it's been in every halo game (and you know, a lot of/most other shooters) although I'm not quite sure how it interacts with recoil and stability in Destiny.

it's just that that was when they added an actual visual indicator and suddenly people were all pissy.

like it's just a mechanic that makes you pace your shots. Burst fire instead of spray. Although hand cannon right now in Destiny are hosed, especially how it interacts with the range stat.
