Mortanis posted: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. 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.

That and learn pvp movement basics. Never come around a corner to engage at head height. Jump or slide. Don't double peek snipers. If you miss, engage at a different angle. Have an escape plan for every engagement in case you get shot and know how to peel off and when you can reengage. Ex: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/RIP%20ur%20KD%20Bro/video/19707525 So much of pvp is knowing when and why to engage and when and why to not. My thumbskill is probably pretty lovely relative to other good players but I've worked a lot on making sure I engage in a way that can compensate.

Don't set sensitivity to 10 unless you're a shotgun warrior. Most insane snipers I know use 3.

I set my sensitivity to 6 and I've been running snipers almost exclusively, and I've been doing just fine. I've had it at 6 for a long time though. But I will agree that turning it up in the first place made me better after I got used to it. I do agree about engagement though. I've always had decent skill, but I've only been really careful about who I engage and when semi-recently. If I see more than one red wedge on my radar and I know I'm alone, if I kill someone and one of his buddies instantly pops out when I've got a half empty mag, if I so much as hear a super pop that I'm not already aware of, I'm high-tailing it the hell out of there. It's so much easier baiting the people that would've otherwise stomped you out into following you back into a hail of team-fire.

You'll run into issues if you try to play the patient game if you don't have a 6 man fireteam, especially in Clash. The randoms will invariably charge headlong into the fight and flip the spawns, meaning you're now by yourself and surrounded. So you get killed, spawn on the other side of the map, and discover your idiot teammates are already pushing back the way they came. It can happen in control too, but not quite as often.

You're pretty much doing it wrong unless you're scoping in close to the dude's head and then making a fine adjustment. If you could really do this well at 10 more power to you, but you've got rare thumbs my friend.

I'm working on the Touch of Malice quest, and the Undying Mind strike claims to be matchmaking, but it automatically puts me into the strike without even attempting to search for other players.

It's a specialized version of the strike and this late into the TTK release cycle this is hardly surprising. Grab some goons.

Reddit person discovers that the exotic class items are reducing your xp per kill instead of increasing it because they're a sperg that keeps deleting and remaking hunters: http://i.imgur.com/CSm11wJ.gifv (watch the number at the end of the xp bar before and after equipping the cloak)

So you get killed, spawn on the other side of the map, and discover your idiot teammates are already pushing back the way they came. Yeah I find in clash I try to play a lot faster. In control its all about locking down areas so you more or less can usually keep the enemy coming from similar approaches if your team is good. This allows you to do some hardscoping if you want to practice that bullshit. In clash people seem to keep pushing. Into spawns so you get shot in the rear end. Rift is by far my least played game mode. Mostly because its lame. I grabbed my brother to play some with me because hes pretty average at pvp and had only played 3 games. I also figured most pvp players would either be playing trials clash or control or the skirmish daily. We got dumped into pretty terrible lobbies with really poo poo team mates. I dropped three games with more than 35 kills in a row. My worst kd in this was 2.8 because i started going for highlight no scopes etc At one point I used 8 bullets from tlw and 3 punches to get three kills. I wasnt using cover just waded into the middle of three dudes and punched their faces off. I also slammed the spark by picking it up, running straight into the enemy base without trying to use cover or return fire. I had bingo health and had people shooting at me. It was still laggy but goddamn it was easy pickings. So find yourselves a guardian with like 3 games and play your least played game mode for easy matches I guess.

He has 155 light with his lvl 20 set and then throws on a 335 class item? He's gonna be wrecking those scrub vandals.

Yes. XP is tied to the level of the enemy and your level. As usual reddit retards are not scientists and have no idea how to control variables before jumping to conclusions.

At the end, you need to kill a taken knight that'll spawn when the boss is about half dead. He'll spawn on the right as you face the boss. That's the actual mission. Just solo it. It's fun!

Here's my quick alt account test run in Control, done after not playing any PVP for quite a while: Game 1 - 1.29 K/D and lost - I had to remember how to shot gun & hosed up a bunch + it was Thieves Den Game 2 - 4.75 K/D and won Game 3 - 2.33 K/D and won Matched with lots of pretty bad 40ish players with much better gear. Definitely bottom of the barrel.

I had the same experience with my new account, very easy to pull 6.0 games quite regularly at first. I kept getting matched with complete retards so my win % was still not too great, around 60, but my kds were looking consistently good. I have been playing more (on my bone which is not broken btw, just too close to the wall behind it apparently) and it's been getting progressively sweatier. Not elite by any means, but these definitely aren't the morons I was playing when I started. It just sucks, because now I'm in this middle ground where I'm probably roughly same skill level as my opponents but I'm severely lacking when it comes to gear.

I solo'd Crota! Can't say I solo'd the whole raid, though. Some random pubbie whose friend request I accepted out of pity, with no mic and probably from a different country, kept dropping in, then leaving because he didn't have an item manager, coming back in just when I finally started to hope he'd given up. Now to go back for glowhoo!
