Yeah fa 47 is great but doesnt have the fun factor of explosive rounds and the cool noise the IB one makes.

Using a perfect balance/hcr/Zen moment distant star and it rocks. Incredibly effective against snipers.

the only things that aren't effective against snipers is like judith-d and other absurdly slow hand cannons

Winning a 1v1 against a sniper these days is like throwing grenades at a baby. They're hosed and there's nothing they can do about it.

Stop telling people full auto is a bad roll. Its not. If you cant control the recoil and hit poo poo at range with its basw stats you need to git gud. Its fuckin great.

I got a full auto one with explosive rounds and its fun as poo poo.

It doesn't have anything to do with recoil control. FA is a wasted perk on Distant Star because the MIDA archetype doesn't fire quickly enough that you really benefit from FA. I'd rather have something else in that slot for scouts of that fire rate.

If you put acc. coils on the IB fusion I assume it makes it a six bolt kill against certain armor levels?

That number is irrelevant outside of the comparison to other activities. I bet trials has seen less of a drop off than raids and strikes and regular pvp.

The problem is that no mode is as dramatically affected by a drop off more than trials.

Trials is dumb, I hope they delete it. :v:

But also get rid of SBMM and cut the crucible playlists to two or three. 6v6, rotating 3v3 and doubles, and the weekly.

Yeah why would any developer want their most addicted and vocal customers to play the game more.

(even though they're a hilariously small percentage of the overall population, if they ain't happy, word of mouth will spread)

I'm actually kind of worried since my connection has been poo poo for the past week. Honestly, if it means that less matches will start 4v5, that'll be nice in and of itself.

Maybe it's your connection that's the problem then. :colbert:

The more they prioritize connection quality the more people with dodgy connections are going to get lovely games. I assume Bungie's matchmaking has a timeout on everything, if it can't find you a good quality game in X seconds it dumps you into any random lovely game that happens to have a slot available.
