Queued up guided game for Leviathan out of curiosity. Took fifteen minutes but there were at least a couple dozen teams that came across my screen until I pulled out, game never taking more than a half a minute or so to offer another.

queued as a pair w/ my friend, it's taking the full 45 minutes for us

also :lol: it doesn't even make a noise when you match or push a mobile event, so gently caress you if you decide to get up for a piss


e: lmao you have 30 seconds to respond to a prompt and if it's a group of 3 you just sit there continuing to matchmake as the game tries to find another straggler, hoo boy this is sloppy

Heard a lot of good buzz about Shock and Awe, got one, think it's pretty good. I like the Merciless too but I dunno if it's worth giving up the Exotic for.

Main Ingredient's been getting a lot of use, don't have one myself, wish I did. Shock and Awe does the job, though.

I was using Shock and Awe for a while because of its impact, but honestly I'm getting better results out of Main Ingredient due to the vertical recoil pattern. It's easy to land enough bolts to fry a dude, so the charge time/impact is perfect, even for shutting down supers.

If anyone wants to run the raid tomorrow at 4 PM EST, I'm rolling with some IRL friends (a few are also goons). We've been doing it as 5 and almost managed to do the gauntlet, so we've been doing OK, but having a 6th would be great. It's all of our first time in the raid except for having a bad experience with the dog room last week. It's a very chill group so if you're chill you'll fit right in.

If anyone is interested, just hit me up with a PM or add me on PSN: bilgebarf

I really like cartesian coordinate. Mainly, it has a tight spread and fires very quickly. So it works well as a quickdraw quick fire PVP fusion rifle. Some of the other fusion rifles take too long to charge so if it misses a single bolt you're dead. Cartesian coordinate, if you miss a bolt it fires quick enough to get a second shot off before you die.

This is the wrong way to think about fusion rifles in PvP. You should approach them as one-hit kill weapons and optimize around that. When you fail to kill in one shot, your instinct should not be to begin a second charge. Instead, you should reflexively switch to your primary and finish the job.

Probably a dumb gripe but after 30 engrams Lakshmi has given me pretty much nothing but True Prophecies, boots, and some sniper rifle over and over since this faction rally poo poo started. I guess on the plus side I have a bunch of FWC shaders but god drat it feels bad cause alls I want is the sweet NASCAR space wizard jacket.

Man, that was... unexpected. Aside from the waiting (which features a timeout, because gently caress you) the Guided Games thing went great. Two super chill guys pulse grenading to victory while laughing about how absurd it was. It was the polar opposite of my expectations and that's pretty awesome. Sat around talking after the run and they said all the ones they've hosted have been perfectly capable players since the initial beta period. Good times!

One of the guys on redeem did a three man gauntlet (uh)

It's not on youtube yet, but when I saw it on twitch they would have two people be runners, but they didn't do it in the typical way as he would never be able to cover the points on opposite sides and the psions at the same time by himself. Instead, they somehow had it setup so that just one runner went forward, then met up with the second runner (this person would purposely not going through the first wall, but would still have time to get the second), and then those two went through the remaining walls together - that means the person on the inside only needed to do one spot instead of two. It still took like five hours but pretty cool.

Can you just not do the Taken Blight PR solo? I can't seem to kill the three different blight points fast enough, especially when enemies start to become heroic while still invincible. The integrity didn't hit zero and it said we won anyway so whatever I guess.

Is that how you activate the heroic and not just win?

Shock and Awe if you're an old hand at Fusion Rifles and are good at controlling recoil and managing its Plan C-esque perk, Main Ingredient otherwise

No it's destroy the blight thunderdomes that spawn to do the event regularly

I'm pretty sure killing anything there counts as doing the event normally which is why it's such a pain in the rear end to flip to heroic. People force the blight to move just by killing the things shooting them.

So I just unlocked trials of the nine, what’s this spire thing? Do I care since I’m not hugely into PvP, I just do it to clear any milestones.
Also is there a Bone raid crew?
Also also, is there a good list what turns public events to Heroic? The only one I know is the glimmer drill in the EDZ.
