Quoted: If you want/need another experienced player, shoot me a message and I'm happy to help. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: So after this most recent experience in the Vault of Glass, just blazing through it with newer players for the sake of loot, I realized that we should have kind of like a VOG 101 class. I felt like we were dying a lot tonight at Atheon because people weren't all that comfortable with using the relic, or what to do and how to stay alive outside during teleports, or what to do inside if you don't have the relic. I think gatekeeper was a bit of a handful for some too, so I'd like to work on that. I'm thinking this Friday, around 7-8ish EST, I'll load up a normal VOG and go through it in detail, explaining what we're doing and why we're doing it. I think raiding is a big part of what makes Destiny fun, and understanding the mechanics in the raids makes it that much better, IMO. We're gonna do it all from start to finish, opening the door, confluxes, oracles, Templar (be ready for it, I want everyone to try using the relic during all sections its available in the Vault). And you'll also get the opportunity to get whatever's available in the normal VOG loot table (basically, everything except Fatebringer, Mythoclast, Timepiece, and the helms) as well as hitting the exotic chest in the Gorgon maze. More importantly, if/when Bungie decides to increase the difficulty in both raids for future content, hopefully you'll be ready for it, understanding all the different phases of the raid. I'd like to do this with Crota's End too, but let's get the Vault down and we'll take it from there. I know we busted like two or three of 'em out over the weekend and tonight with Mariner82, so if you're game I want you to run it with me Friday. And of course whoever else wants in. If you want/need another experienced player, shoot me a message and I'm happy to help. Awesome, thankee sir. |

Iron Banana is Back - helmet, chest piece, E. Spear (sniper) and Timur's lash (hand cannon) - looks like the armor rolls are the same as the old set.

The Shadow Thief is your nightfall this week. Arc burn, juggler, brawler. Winter's Run with juggler is the weekly. 34 Poe is Urrox. Skolas is brawler and juggler. Skolas doesn't sound too bad this week. Maybe I'll try a again this weekend. Nice; I might jump into a 35... 2/3 Nightfalls done, got a Dragon's Breath out of my first NF... (would've preferred either a G'Horn or a Hawkmoon, but whatever...). I might jump into my final NF tonight... IF and only IF I don't get the "Chorizo" (forced Overtime) at work. |

Efrideet's Spear! I'll finally have a decent PVP sniper. Watch Her Benevolence and Praedyth's Revenge drop for me, now.

You can't get final round cheese on it anymore, can't get field scout. Her Benevolence will do basically everything a current Erfideet's Spear can do, and you don't have to kill yourself in Iron Banner to get it. Eta - hell, if you have a Black Hammer, use that. The only real appeal of the high impact snipers IMO is the ability to kill someone through a res overshield. Black Hammer will do that. |

Gotten 4 of them Scrapped 3 Have t messed with it. Still looking for a decent sniper until I get black hammer or ice View Quote Old school spear is still one of my favorites (but I have Field Scout, Firefly, etc), praedyths revenge (fire rate) and shadow of veils (aim assist) are both very good for pvp but have limited use in pve. Before they ruined the perks on the new spear it was one of the best snipers in the game for both PvP and PvE |

I'm not much of a PVP sniper but I like Praedyths because I can spam it. It's the best scout rifle in the game. Two shots most people to the body, one shots everyone in the head.

I use the Spear mainly for Final Round and Double down and I tend to use most of the time in ToO. |

Xur's in the reef this week, in the doorway on the lower right from where you spawn in.
No Backup Plans, ATS/8, Claws, Suros, helm engram. |
|
|
I'll buy suros for the collection (like I need any more) and maybe knuckle head
|
|
I would buy Suros if you don't have it, especially since auto rifles are supposed to be better when 2.0 comes around.
Knucklehead Radar is alright if you play lots of PVP and you're a radar whore. I have it but don't really use it, I think Symbiote and Third Man are better hunter helms overall. Eta - now that I think about it, being that you can reforge weapons for third eye and if you play trials you've probably got a trials weapon that has third eye on it, Knucklehead Radar ain't as good as it used to be. No Backup Plans might be interesting with the brawler modifier on, but otherwise, meh. Claws of Ahamkara on a sunsinger with flame shield and a shotgun is a very annoying thing to deal with in PVP. |

I'll probably be getting on around 5p est. Still need a 32 POE if anyone wants to help or needs one.
I would also like to get a normal crota for my titan to see if I can get the boots. Not having extra heavy is bothering me |

I plan on doing normal VOG 101 tonight around 7-8ish est.
Depending on how that goes, we might try to do a Crota 101 as well, showing folks how to run the sword. |

I usually run max int/disp builds and as an average Trials player I normally don't get my super until round 3 or 4. Besides that, Trials is very hard. Mostly because of the cheesy shit the game gives you and the other team to use. Thorn, TLW, final round snipers, high impact shotguns with blink, etc. |

Mostly because of the cheesy shit the game gives you and the other team to use. Thorn, TLW, final round snipers, high impact shotguns with blink, etc. PvP in general right now is so out of balance that it almost makes Iron Banana and ToO unbearable unless you are playing with hugely skilled teammates. There were 4 of us playing last night in banana and we had matches where we got rolled so badly it wasn't even tolerable. To make matters worse the team we played wasn't that good, but between the lag, enemies not taking damage, blinking with shotguns and supers we stood no chance. I almost rage quit twice and that is rare. Destiny isn't going to make it into year 3 if they don't address the lag in PvP it is an absolute game changer and that coupled with shit matchmaking, no skill based matchmaking, it turns 80% of the games into feast or famine. Trials is the same way, it should be hard and challenging but when you just start playing and match up against people with 1500+ kills, 1.9 KDR's and multiple flawless runs its a bitch especially if you have never done it before. It should be more skill based and elevate difficulty as you win, but instead they expect new players to be doormats for a bunch of PvP tryhards. I have seen supers as fast as round 2 (with a ton of revives and one player doing all the work) but never round 1, dirty tactics suck but they really aren't dirty if the goal is to go flawless which is Quintin's point and Bungie has allowed them to fester and grow to the point that everyone is using them thus eliminating any game balance. I am done bitching now I will be running some Iron Banana tonight if anyone wants to join, we should have at least 2 maybe 3 slots open, last night we all missed the days of having a full fire-team. |
|
Trials matchmaking should absolutely be skill based. Placing a team of 1 K/D or below players against 1.5+ K/D players who have completed flawless trials is ignorant.
Trials should be hard. Some of the best weapons and equipment in the game is available through Trials, so it should be a fair and hard challenge to complete it. But playing so-so PVP players against teams of killers who communicate and work well together, that's not a hard challenge, it's shooting fish in a barrel, the average player can do nothing against a team like that. That's the number one fucked up thing about Trials, IMO. Thorn, TLW, blink shotgun, whatever is all irrelevant in the grand scheme of things when you're paired against a team that you've got no chance of beating straight up. |
