Pretty much.

Bungie fooled us good, taunting us with a ten year plan and a new game every other year. What we really got was a 10 year plan with two games and a live team dedicated to slapping a new coat of paint on old maps and hoping no one minds.

MAYBE A DINGO ATE YOUR K/D
It would be pretty sad if Destiny 2 is a April 2018 release.

If the live team weren't dog poo poo this wouldn't be as much of an issue.

You can only do it in private matches now, it was a limited time event in matchmaking.

Good to know.

Is anyone doing strikes tonight and don't mind a scrub goon tagging along? I'm at LL296 so far, so I'm getting along.

Speaking of fusions, how the hell do you use one on icarus control? There's really no way to get close to B if you're using it.

Also, hail satan, the most fun I've ever had with this archetype of AR



Sureshot, Spray & Play, Rifled, Counterbalance. This thing is a god drat work horse of a gun.

Dead Orbit rank up gave me a Keystone last night, explosive rounds + perfect balance + firefly. I think I found my new strike primary!

I think in a perfect world I'd prefer the 37 rof/48 impact archetype but eh.. it's just strikes.

385 is the highest light that dropped legendary engrams or ones picked up from like gold on pub event can decrypt at right?

Yes. Rank packages go to 390 and after that you Exotic farm, do Zavala's weekly bounties, play Crucible, and raid to reach 400. And Archon's Forge for ghosts, artifacts, and class items up to 400.

Cool, my hunter is 385 and my other 2 around 375, so now I feel caught up enough to do endgame stuff.

Are there any 94 impact hand cannons of any roll that are superior to the 81 impact options (ie, vendor palindrome)? Or is the archetype pretty much irrelevant right now?

I guess a four round lingering song with LITC could be the only one?

Basically I need to clear out some vault space and I got a few lingering songs/ill wills collecting dust that I can't decide what to do with.

Superior for what? Pvp? Absolutely not. PvE? Hell yeah they can one shot a lot of stuff.

I'd hold onto anything that can hit the range cap of 62.

Actually min maxing PvE guns owns. I love busting out my Icarus Rifled Rangefinder How Dare You on small arms or airborne because it one shots everything with the increased damage and fires fast as gently caress.

There's an Arminius with Counterbalance/Rifled/Crowd Control my bad, no. I have a Zarinaea-D that I use occasionally in PVE if that means anything, but there are no must have packages

I have a Rifled/Rangefinder/Hot Swap HDY that I'm holding onto in case a future balance update makes that archetype viable.

My AR's keep getting pushed closer and closer to my Y1 guns in the vault. I have several I would love to use again, they just don't compete right now. I even have a decent hammerforged/counterbalance soulstealer's I've never once shot.

Plus a couple medium impact guns that I cling to in the hopes Bungie will make them cool again. :smith:
