Finally took the time to find a bunch of randoms to raid with and got up to Warpriest. At which point we wiped over and over again for two hours because "okay knights are dead, EVERYONE OFF THE PLATES" is really complicated apparently :shepicide:

This seems like it could be really fun if played on a fireteam that isn't 50% people who are infuriatingly horrible at it.

I don't usually have a big problem with LFG. You just need to be very, very scrutinizing. That being said, I joined a group last night that was 90% fine except for this 11 year old that was annoying as poo poo.

That's true, inspect everyone up front and if there looks to be at least two weak links then jump ship. People on LFG aren't your friends yet and your time is more important than theirs most likely

I've tried to make LFG work for me but never had any luck even starting anything. Found this bunch on the100, which seems like it could be good sometimes? Got a couple of chill dudes who knew what they were doing a week ago when I needed people for CoE. After today, though, yeah, these things are a crapshoot.

Guess it's time to start playing with goons!!!

That's sort of a blessing in disguise for you.
If they hosed up Warpriest so much, just imagine how loving atrocious Golgy would have been.

You hosed up by letting them get on the plates in the first place. Gotta yell "THAT'S a -100 DKP PENALTY!!!" every time you see one step on one when they're not supposed to.

: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.

Is that the IB vendor roll? If you can stand pulling for the faster rate of fire the Hawksaw is better than a Nerwin's without counterbalance.

Hawksaw shoots faster than Nirwen's and that's the first IB of y2's vendor roll. It was the god roll before the December pulse changes but isn't really competitive anymore. Still a fun fun but the vendor hawksaw is way better in the current meta.

remember that time I was just chilling out and definitely not having a massive meltdown? right guys? guys??? :laugh:
It's almost like all that poo poo I said about the game having too many mobility options and combo moves turning every map into a shotgun fest was true.

I honestly miss old trials when everyone was using last word and thorn and final round spears ( :allears: ). At least it felt fair among the classes.

I've seen it before. I have no idea what caused it. I was running strikes with some people and all the deaths were names of people we had never heard of. It was pretty weird and only lasted one strike.

Pretty much everything is viable right now, the game is in a pretty good spot.

Pick a snipe and a medium/short range primary, or a long range primary with a shotgun/fusion. It's nice to roll whatever suits your style.

A few archetypes are garbage, like slow firing AR's, but they aren't fun to use anyways.

Got that from a cruicble rank up a few weeks ago, only just leveled it and tried it out. Not too bad. I like it more than my Eyaslunas and it's more stable than a hawkmoon. Not a world beater but I used it in a sweaty lobby on control on Memento and it did work at mid range, the damage fall off is gently caress all. The aim assist felt pretty high too, I wasn't on point early with it and still cracked a lot of headshots. Really good for those bodyshot/primary clean up snipes.

sureshot is / Rescue Mag / Rifled Barrell and LiTC

The pick 3 are Hand Loaded, Reinforced Barrel and Rifled Barrell. I find these handcanons OK to use but I find I miss my TLW in tight, its only saving grace is if you come across two or three enemies on a flank it's easier to get all three down than it is trying to manage a reload or looking to half mag someone and punch with tlw.
