Man.. I'm about 30 hours in to Destiny, my first little dude is level 30, and I still have no clue what most of the posts in here are about! Gaze? Trials? "Year 2"??

Don't worry, once you hit the 100 hour mark you'll unlock "destiny veteran" perk and start to talk like a jaded old fart. Be careful though because the actual jaded old farts will call you out on your bullshit and dig up embarrassing posts from your history.

Sometimes, time beats you.

Look at that scrub not completing the court of oryx quest for sw8 sw8 runes.

This week is in my favor, my last 2 calcified fragments are Oryx Challenge mode, and Thalnok in Court of Oryx.

I just need to finish the drat mountaintop quest, I burned myself out thinking I just had to finish the weapon one, when I had to do all of them ;_;

at least the rest are participation quests. I just hope to actually slam dunk the spark, I tend to join games where people camp the spark and never score and just kill people instantly when they grab it ;_; GUYS I JUST WANNA PASS THE QUEST GUYS abloo hoo hoo

They'll probably just make it a garbage perk forcing people to throw away any gun that has it to hunt for whatever perk is next in line for BIS.

no its not, they already nerfed it once. It'll stay the same for the forseeable future.

its a good PVP perk that keeps people from using damage altering perks like headseeker, RR, GHF etc so it's not harmful to the balancing of weapons.

I wouldn't call "keeping people from using other perks" balanced.

I really don't know about CB anymore, they have been keen to adjust popular stuff but CB isn't necessarily OP especially in this dumb rear end secondary focused meta.

Closest thing was the MiDa stagger round nerf but that poo poo was appreciably annoying and I'm glad it's gone.

CB is a pretty ok perk, the problem is nothing else competes with it so it's basically the must have perk for a colossal number of weapons.

The correct fix is to make other perks more interesting to players, but that's a steep challenge when everyone in your playerbase wants long range headshot machines. Having perfect recoil will always be popular.

It should probably be set up like the other perk sets where the no-downside version has a small effect and the ones with the larger effect have a tradeoff.

CB should be done as a +/- where the negative is a hit to range.

It does have a trade-off it makes your vertical recoil substantially more dramatic.

Rodeo is low key a great AR perk because of the way it reduces both vertical and horizontal recoil, a rodeo doctrine or SoulStealer rips face

I have a rodeo and perfect balance Answering Chord that I'm holding onto in case they ever unfuck that archetype.

I also got a final duty with max stability I might as well hold onto too I guess.

Vertical recoil can be overcome with practice, but if it cost you range or clip size or something concrete like the other tradeoff perks you'd have to choose your priorities.

The problem there is that they'll need to take a big sweaty poop on sniper rifles and Bungie is terrified to do anything substantial to them

All secondary weapons.

There are entire matches where fuckers don't pull out primary. And if they ever do manage to run out of ammo they just pull out UR or NLB.

It's a joke.

In addition:
Snipers should have scope sway. Shotguns should make you move slower. Fin.

They are literally redoing the perk trees to have QuickDraw on max range shotguns and there's and artifact that removes sprint cool down so you can sprint out of slide no problem

Ehh there were two fireteams of full scarab bros and some were diamond trials, and we had one counter-scarab (unless our pubbie who died 22 times had one).

Those are the breaks with a small playerbase and tbqh we gave them a good match.

Striker Titan Codex 4 is banned from sweats these days.

So what I'm trying to say is sweats are dumb.

Stormlocks with increased melee and shotguns are fine though. Ahuh.

loving with counter balance is only going to make players use less pulses and autos and more handcanons and scouts. It'll just worsen the current meta of jerks hard scoping back map and jerks slide shotgunning the corridors.

I think they're going to buff the gently caress out of side arms to try and push people into using them and nerf snipers and shotguns.

I also think they'll up the lethality a little bit on some underused weapons.

Doesn't matter thorn is coming back it's just gunna be all thorn all the time thorn OMG thorny thorn

Even if it's not good. People just love that loving gun.

Its pretty balanced right now and it feels really nice to use. Its snappy and feela accurate. Im hoping they do what the did with the hawkmoon bring in a baby one like the eyasluna.

A thorn archetype handcannon as a post game drop would be good. Dunno what else fits in that class but I couldnt get into using the water star, space glocks or finellas.

I dont care if they buff every type of primary in the game and weaken shotgun so they all have half the range they do now and only give me 3 sniper rounds to start and per box.

Make the game more fun.

I know this is old hat, but the matchmaking in this game is so loving lovely.

I don't know why Destiny thinks I'm a PVP God. I suck. I don't play sweats or trials or care about the meta, I've never checked my ELO, I'm old and tired and can't snipe for poo poo.

I just want to win 1 game of loving control so I can finish these dumb shaxx bounties for the week on my god drat warlock. 6 games I lose in a row. Top of my team every game, positive every game. What more can I do? loving hell its infuriating. It's like they expect me to carry 5 god drat morons every time.
