ugh why is every single crucible match today just shoving me into some game already in progress that's like 10-50 with my team getting sodomized by midas. Literally 5 in a row.

Swords

I will dispute this. Though I am a hunter with 8 mobility, so maybe my view is tainted.

I've triple jumped at a group of 3 people, come down on their heads with quickfang, and killed them all, then ran away to kill the fourth.

I've also seen a guy running at me with a sword out, pulled out quickfang at the last second and killed him in a sword-to-sword clash because i had the en guarde bonus. Makes you feel like King poo poo.

Just don't run straight at a dude with a sword and expect to not get shot in the face.

Swords are fun, yo.

I rolled a new alt so I was doing the 2 competitive matches a bit ago. I had the Pariah 20LL AR and some SMG I got from a drop. The only unlock I had was the first grenade.

I somehow managed to place first on our (losing) team and clutched 2 rounds against a team of all 20's :psyduck:

They deleted 900 rpm AR's and made them SMG's instead. SMG's have much lower aim assist than AR's so it was probably a balancing decision.

I’m confused at how people are getting confused/mad about the light system. You don’t even have to do alts. Hell I’m at 285 no meaningful alt leveling haven’t even ran the raid yet.

Literally just play the game and do the milestones and you’ll get better poo poo

I feel the same way. If I really want a good SMG with testicles I'll just use a Valakadyn.

I think I mentioned it here before but the best SMG I've used is the Omolon one with specific perks (phased magazine and torch sight) that makes it an AR-lite and considerably more effective at its intended job.

I just bought this game. I enjoyed the original Destiny. I played Warlock. Are the classes well balanced in this one, or does one class have something really unique, like the Warlock resurrection super from the last game?

MIDA mini is a good SMG if you have MIDA equipped because of the run speed boost.

Foggy Notion is fun because melee kills reload part of the magazine.

Riskrunner is a poor man's Zhalo when it works and is really fun in those cases, but usually it sucks.

I miss the Zhalo. Bungie missed a trick not bringing it back with its AK-47 style appearance since Devrim Kay's guns all follow that visual template. It would have been cool and thematically appropriate if the EDZ questline gave us the Zhalo instead of the Mida

Depends on what you're doing, against the Fallen it's powered up almost all the time because they primarily use arc attacks.

I'm guessing Titan would have this but what class would let me use a sword the most? I like swords and melee.

No not really. Titan can get their choice of two supers with a certain subclass (bubble or captain america) but that's the only unique thing I can think of with regard to supers at least. Warlocks get neat tricks tho, their new solar class can fly and shoot sword blades, they have a healing fountain or a dmg fountain that they can lay down, and are the only class with blink now.

There is apparently a cheese with the nightfall where you can shoot the boss off the walls after he disappears. This kills him shortly after.

Warlocks have the best melee and Devour lets you actually survive close enough to use it.

Yeah, the curve flattens out enough that you can get to the point where all of you are allowed in the same activities very quickly.
