The weekly update stated it would be close to pvp levels, which we do know the numbers for.

I don't know how we could have hard numbers yet as bungie has never given out hard numbers, it's always something players have to test on their own.

Unless the roll is irredeemable poo poo (looking at you moving target + firmly planted) now is a bad time to be dismantling guns. All the big youtubers have put a lot of effort into videos blabbing about what's going to be cool and great next week, but the reality is there are a LOT of changes going in and it's gonna take some time for the meta to really establish itself.

So if you got the vault space, hang on to everything that looks even slightly interesting.

Yes, ranges on hand cannons and pulses were brought way down to give scouts room to work.

Ideal ranges for hand cannons are under 30m now, pulses are 30-40m and scouts are 40m+

Gonna be fun vaporizing hand cannon bros with my fusion.

They need to stop making strikes story focused. I don't hate the story.. the first time I run a strike. But after that all the running and talking is a skipping record and it should be more like the nightmare hunts. Crank up the number of poo poo to kill and make them a lot shorter.

Director version of strikes should be long form, and playlist strikes should be 7 minutes of nonstop shooting.

The near elimination of eververse engrams is pretty funny. They went hardcore on wanting people to buy silver. One every five levels is a huge reduction over last season.

I can't get mad about it though. It's all ugly cosmetic poo poo and without confident strut being a possibility there's nothing to get excited about.

I like that they have manpower to dedicate to ikora's crazy plan that probably could have been implemented on all the existing vex gates we have access to on Venus, Mars, or Nessus.

But they don't have manpower to send up to the old tower and repair it.

Also they don't give these workers any safety equipment, they're just out there welding beams with nothing but their balance keeping them from splattering into the city 1000 meters below.

You if you’re a golden gun gunslinger don’t sleep on the celestial nighthawk. It completely loving obliterates bosses in such a way that I’m sure breaks the sequence of strikes. Like I literally one shot the Sedia lady as soon as someone knocked her shield off and the game did a double take and immediately spawned the chest with no further dialogue, and I popped Savathûn when it had a bit over a third of its health before it could do the final void barrier sequence and Zavala immediately started flapping his gums before it could stop blowing up

Probably can't do this anymore, but nighthawk owns:

I switch between PC and xbox a lot now and it's super frustrating how annoying SMG's are to use on console and how glorious they are on PC.

It's not that PC has no recoil, it's just massively easier to manage it with a mouse.

Yes, I understand the piece of technology I’ve used for nearly a decade. Again, as stated, with just a trigger pull and no attempt to control recoil there is considerably more with the mouse connected to the xim.

Congratulations! But if you're using a xim you're a controller user, not a mouse user.

Without xim on a PC recoil is trivial to counteract. Recoil exists but it is dramatically easier to deal with and SMG's are wayyyy more fun to use.

...... this has nothing to do with anything. I’m comparing the respective recoils from the respective inputs without trying to control recoil. I tested both inputs. The initial statement was something like “it’s not that pc has no recoil it’s that it’s easier to manage” which isn’t the case, having tested it, side by side, seconds after each other. I understand that the pc sees my xim as a controller. Jesus.

It has everything to do with it because controller and straight mouse (no xim) have completely different parameters. Max sensitivity on a controller is significantly lower than with a raw mouse, and when you use a controller on PC Destiny, that sensitivity cap is applied. A PC in 'controller mode' also has more recoil and more aim magnetism.

It's trivial to test on a PC. Load up a warlock and use chaos reach. Pop that super when using the xim and try to tag multiple targets in the tribute hall. Now do it again with the raw mouse, then come back here and explain to us how there's no difference between controller and mouse.

(fun trivia note: max turn speed using a controller on PC is lower than max turn speed on xbox. it's not a huge difference, maybe 5-10% but it's definitely there)

I did test it. With two mice, one native, one connected to xim. Side by side. With an SMG, the first day of cross play. With no attempt to control recoil from either input. The native mouse barely travels up the screen, the mouse connected to the XIM has far more recoil.

The statement was that “it’s not that pc has less recoil, it’s that it’s easier to control” obviously, it’s easier to control, I’m not disputing that. I’m disputing the “it’s not that pc has less recoil” it does! Much less!

I did test it.

Mouse has less recoil. It's not zero recoil. At most it's a 30% reduction in recoil.
