I never played D1 and that gun looks and (mechanically) sounds awesome, how did it work out in practice?

At launch, mythoclast was a face melting monster gun that killed literally everything.

After nerfing, it was a gimmick gun people sometimes pulled out for funsies but it never topped the meta ever again.

Destiny 2 now with a destiny 1 paint job to cover up all the issues but with maps and content designed around different guns and load outs?

Surely this won't be a disaster with Bungie at the helm.

I hope I'm wrong and it's fun like taken king but man they have a mountain to climb to make this game good.

To be honest it was 4AM when I started making the gif and even I don't know what it's supposed to be about by the time I finished it an hour and a few GIS searches later :effort:



Hell Yeah! :hfive:

I actually prefer its archetype over other handcannons, and I still did the same. Sure Bungie, I would love to have two of my three weapons have similar effective ranges so I can relay on my heavy with limited ammo to shoot long distance targets.

they hired the lore guy (now there is a lore book)

they hired the ttk compiler guy (the ttk is lower)

they hired the guy who did a lot of crucible videos (qp is now 6v6, Trials getting reworked)

almost like all their internal feedback was bad and wrong

One of the most stylish and powerful weapons in the game for a brief time

It was ludicrously powerful in pvp before they nerfed it, look up some old vids on YouTube to witness the hilarity of a 3sk full auto weapon

Also magnificent was Pocket Infinity, a full auto fusion rifle that restored ammo on misses

D1 pvp veered from one broken gun to the next, it was grand

Maybe they should hire some people that made Halo games because those were pretty fun.

First rule of game design: listen to your player's complaints and literally nothing else. Figure out what they're actually mad about and fix that.

Destiny doesn't share the numbers so I need to rely on internet goobers to tell me if Tractor Cannon + Void Ikelos is better or worse than Melting Point + Sleeper Sim over a 15 second DPS cycle

Impressed that you're able to crunch these figures in your head.

The numbers dont matter because the game is so loving easy, cuz it was designed for thumbless timmy and his grandpa.

Yeah we haven't seen Luke Smith or Mark Noseworthy in a long time which is why things have gotten better. But that just means they are loving up Destiny 3 I guess.

That is interesting, and very unlike the fusion guns in D2.

I had a brilliant round of control where I actually managed to get some heavy ammo and proceeded to smoke four people in a row on B, I keep forgetting to record moments like that. Main Ingredient is my jam.

Smith is fine, dude is basically just a fixer at this point. Noseworthy by all accounts is a gently caress

There’s a Titan helmet, one that looks like an old Greek god statue thing. It gives an overshield on fist of havoc. I use it often in crucible and it is extremely good. You win every fight and take people by surprise quite a bit.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

If you run titan for pvp theres only really three choices. Synthos if youre like to get up in cunts faces, alpha lupi for health on shield and armamentarium for not running striker with dual nades.

I don’t know how to use alpha lupus in PVP I just thought it gave you an extra orb of light from your sentinel shield or something.

In D1 it gave you extra orb drops from any super and faster rez (which was removed at some point IIRC). In D2 it now gives extra health to you and any teammates in range when you drop a wall. I don’t know any strategy tips for PVP but that can come in handy in dangerous PVE situations.

Me and cheese both run it for pvp.

It gives you 60 hp. For your team to benefit they have to be right up your rear end.

It helps to win 2v1s and those times when youre both a bees dick away from death and they try to push around your shield.

Synthos are inconsistent as hell and i find that any over shield perk etc works like 1 in 3 times running them.

The only really decent thing about tiran is dual pulses so theres not much use for arma either.

60hp 100% of the time i drop a shield is pretty much as good as it gets for titans.

I do see the appeal. I kinda dont like the idea of having something that relies on me to be the victim for it to work. Not my playstyle.

Lupi becomes really handy when you get used to it. Its kind of 2nd nature for me to pop some health back when ive just killed some dude and see red on the radar.
