:siren: Real Post Alert :siren:

I'm real close to being done with destiny's crucible all together almost entirely because of the shotgun meta. Played two matches of trials last night, both teams had Titans with Juggernaut & Universal Remote rushing us down while other two swung in with their shotguns. It is absurdly infuriating because there is no effective hard counter to this playstyle anymore. I literally rage quit after two matches.

Then today playing doubles solo queue I ran into a team: http://destinytracker.com/dg/5244630878 who just ran around the map mopping up kills while they ignore the objective, they of course were maining shotguns the entire match. Which lead me to this moment http://xboxclips.com/Mechwarrior/15ce2976-7e85-485e-84aa-e557100c825a , we won by capturing the objective in overtime, I should be stoked about winning such close match right? It just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Destiny Pubstomper's guide to actually stomping pubs, only on Xbone.



1. Ensure your console is set to be your main account's home console. See here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox . You do NOT need to pay for more Xbox live gold because you're playing on your home console. Good poo poo.

2. On your console, create a new xbox/Microsoft account. You can't pick a name yet so see step 3.

3. Go to your laptop/mobile go to xbox.com and login on your new account to rename it something funny like "Destiny SBMM Bad" "Cmpln 2 Reddit" or "Pub Farmer69." You get a free rename for each new account. Go hog wild because you're not using this account forever.

4. Log out and in of your new account on the bone to update the name.

Special Note: You can stay logged into your main account for party chat and poo poo while also having the second account active for game playing. Very handy for doing this poo poo as a six man. It's a bit confusing to do, and make sure you aren't active in dashboard on your main when accepting invites for your secondary.

5. Open Destiny on the new account and create a new character. Do a hunter. This gets you the sniper rifle and the best super for owning noobs.

6. Play the first mission. Just run right through and don't worry about killing anything. Bum rush the captain at the end and mop up. Fly to tower.

7. At the tower, pick up and pop your free spark of light to level up, trigger quests and get some blue guns. Talk to all the quest markers and dont forget to equip the gear to advance quests. This will give you more XP. Grab bounties.

NOTE: not many people who you'll match against run high armor, and in fact if you're playing others with unleveled subclasses, they can't. If you're fortunate enough as my buddy was to get a sick 95 impact hand cannon, you'll be 2-tapping everything lmao. Also hopefully you get a machine gun drop early.

8. Drop into a crucible match. You'll probably have super right away from leveling up. It owns lmao. poo poo on kids. Be amazed at how bad they are and how good you actually are at the game. Very validating if you're kinda hosed by SBMM from playing with friends who are better than you and you're always getting dumped against sweaty streamers or something.

9. Repeat until it starts getting sweaty and laggy. Then delete the account and go back to step 1.

I highly recommend doing this with a party of six and coordinating the new accounts and playing together. The best mode if you have all 6 is rift, you can totally control spawns and lock down the map, and you can let them dunk on you to avoid the mercy rule.

Enjoy lag free matches and getting a feel for how good you actually are, and hopefully enough people do this that Bungie stops using so much SBMM.

Pro tactic, just went 14-1 in my first match.

On that note, is there any advice to someone that's used to PC FPS games coming to this? I picked it up months ago and scrub'd my way to my first 40 on a Titan, but even months later now I'm still more or less at the bottom of any Crucible match. I've tried donking with the Look speed. Problem is I either wind up with a wonderful turning speed but then can't master fine tune controls for putting a reticle on people and jump all over in combat or it's way way too slow for moving around a map but much better at fine tuning and aiming at the one poor sob that walks directly into my line of fire.

Obviously I need to practice but I'm hoping I'm missing something that might make it a bit easier.

Set to 10 sensitivity and don't look back. Doesn't matter how well you do. In a month anything lower will feel too slow to be effective.

Hey, if you have to use an AR and are a titan, Fabian Strategy isn't bad at all if you use it right. Really melts if you're close enough and if the idiots are running all down the same hall, even better

Also I managed to get 2 IB wins. Lars must have been on a piss break

Fabian Strategy is in fact garbage across the board. Any of the HRoF assault rifles outclass it by a mile.

It finally took a red bar Striker with a teleportating Fist of Panic to dislodge me from Heavy.

Joke's on that rear end in a top hat, it's worthless without the emblem.

For real though that sucks and you gotta be a sad sad brokenbrain to do that to someone, sorry friend

Let me tell you about the guy who asked Larry Hyrb(Director of Xbox) and Stepto(Head of Enforcement) to unban his account live in person and then literally minutes be arrested for trying to steal an unfinished game.

https://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/breach-game-code-theft-at-pax-east-ends-in-arrest/

Engadget posted:

Stephen Toulouse, director of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live, actually had an incident with May earlier in the day during his panel "Enforcement on Xbox Live: Tales from the Din Part 2" (audible beginning at the 40:15 mark). During the Q&A section of the panel, the alleged thief asked if he could have his Gamertag unbanned. Toulouse asked him what he'd done, and he said that he'd played Forza 3 before release, which Toulouse told him he shouldn't have done. Toulouse was clear to point out during the panel that buying games early, from a retailer that breaks street date, and playing them online doesn't get Xbox Live players banned, but illegal pre-release play does. The suspect later admitted to Joystiq he illegally downloaded Forza 3 early.
