You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


I like how they countered a shotgun with other shotguns, that was obviously the wisest possible tactical decision to make.

So I found a literal god roll Devil You Know in my vault that I had forgotten about. Truesight, Icarus, Rifled, Rangefinder. I had written it off since even with Rifled the range caps out at 49, compared to a rifled Pali at 62. Learned a few things

1) the dumptruck sized amount of AA the DYK has over the Pali (81 vs 70) makes up the difference IMHO assuming the Pali has the same roll. While I do see damage drop off sooner its at ranges I shouldn't be having any primary battle at and DYK with RF is WAY WAY WAY more consistent than a Pali with the same roll.

2) RF is just loving stupid on Handcannons of this caliber. I think if the community (non sweat, the sweat lords already know this) had more seat time with RF Rifled HC's before bungie announced no more updates they'd realize its basically Shot Package in a primary weapon and would be getting the nerf bat.

This isn't an exciting gif but its showing where the fall off is starting to hit and it still does 201 damage via 3 crits I hit easily at a range I'd rather be using a solid SB pulse rifle at.

necroquoting because I am a loresperg so gently caress w/e:

"AI Rampancy" is a classic Bungie theme that we've seen in most of their releases. Effectively, a machine of AI scale will 'think itself' to death as it burns through its inherently limited physical resources, consciousness tries to expand as it would in nature, but even the massive physical resources we as humans would give to it are too limited. Marathon's Duranadal AI explored some of the pitfalls of this, and we also saw Cortana do the same in the later Halo series. The only 'workaround' to this physical resource limitation would be to expand your hardware, AFAIK.

You know how the Vex have a habit of building planet-sized computers? Sounds like they found a novel way to escape resource constraints, which may partially explain why each individual Vex is more of a utility object than an individual.

It sounds like the Final Shape of the Vex is to be computationally isomorphic with time and space vs. Oryx who wants to rewrite natural law of the universe, to avoid limitations both physical and ontological, i.e. ascend the physical plane and become space and time itself, thus avoid the heat death of the universe or w/e. Assuming big-bang-esque universal origin, Godhood seems limited only by being subject to that final collapse.


I like the lore stuff and since I'm not a smooth-brain like wrecks, I enjoy the lore posts. Btw, I loved the old AI rampancy back in the Marathon days. I miss that game, and only play every now and again on my iPad with the free ports someone did of all three games.

Yeah, the only way a firefight mode is going to be satisfying long-term is if it's a structured game mode, and not something you just approach on patrol. There has to be scoring and distinct rounds, and just maybe we shouldn't be isolated in the same space every single time? If there's only one thing I've gotten from PoE, it's that there needs to be some diversity with the scenery. Prison of Elders was fuckin tedious, and for me at least that could've been partially remedied by changes in geometry/scenery. Just use the pvp maps ffs. Isn't that what Reach did?

Reach had firefight-tweaked copies of setpieces from the campaign, and it also had a way more elaborate scoring and round system.

(The pvp maps were also tweaked setpieces from the campaign, but different ones.)

How is hammer forged as a perk?

I got a true sight, high cal, hammer forged, rangefinder New Monarchy HC, it works fine in non sweat matches but I'm curious as to the range loss versus things like rifled.

Yes. Cracking open some loot caches with the boys. Lots of my friends list has fallen off the Division wagon, but it took a lot of playtime for them to get to that point.

But to my utter amazement I'm having a ball with the last stand DLC, which is 8v8 zone control pvp with subtle base building and PvE elements. I hate the DZ pvp but there's something about last stand that's just different enough that it's really fun. Maybe it's mental.

I have a feeling a xim user could dominate last stand.

I tried using the XIM for division and it was REALLY lovely. I always used a controller

If it works for you more power to you. The aiming felt kinda floaty for me though. Maybe they released a better smart translator since then?
