No, it's all a big joke that some hackers have taken too seriously which is why these bizarre instruments with bizarre names and bizarre effects sometimes appear in-game. These things were not programmed in by Bungie and cannot be obtained. Frankly, players with them should be banned.

Is there a solution for the kill feed bug? Lots of people bitching about it in google searches but nothing that seems to fix it. I tried a hard reset of ye olde Xbox and it didn't work. Titan gets kill messages, hunter doesn't.

It fucks super gen too because you get no medals. :downs:

All I've ever had to do is restart the game.

This reminds me of around D2 launch when cunts were pouring into here all, "I'm an ol' vet of D1, man, I played the gently caress out the game. I probably clocked 500 hours or more of play!"

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:


After forsaken, I'm 100% percent certain that Zavala is going to be revealed as an agent of the "Darkness" responsible for the Red War. I mean he could just be amazingly incompetent and think that ignoring a group of dangerous escapees that want to bring harm to guardians and their allies is a smart move or he could be actively trying to be the biggest, most useless dick imaginable.

The suggestion to have a "Kill Primeval Envoys" bounty was very good


Also, Gambit really does have a pretty high skill ceiling. Your typical pubby doesn't know how to trigger Heroic blight or kill the Corrupted boss, so I'm not surprised they struggle.

Even something as simple as Blocker Damage displayed at the round end would go a long way towards acknowledging that the Good at Pvp Guy who also keeps the platform clear so your dumb rear end can drop 15 motes without dying would be good.

because apparently 14 guardians downed and 66% primeval healed in a close match isn’t something that registers in a skyboxer’s smooth brain as Helpful.

Like, if you’re playing solo and you see your blueberries holding more that 10 motes before the first invasion threshold, you’re gonna lose bigly unless you switch to playing strictly blocker defense and gadfly invader

I get this sentiment and also share it, but I also feel like... if you're in a competitive activity wherein other people are counting on you but you don't give enough a drat to know what you're doing, you're a dumb bitch and having your hand held ain't gonna help.

I mean, even a search into Gambit so cursory that you only ever reach the announce trailer will provide more insight into how to play than pubs exhibit in-game.

Bungie unequivocally should do better on this tho and should add to the directory when you choose an activity and have the option to launch, another option for a short video tutorial on what the activity is.

They need additional Drifter voice clips that trigger when someone is doing something stupid.

"You're carrying 13 motes and they are two motes away from an invasion you idiot. You should clear blockers and deposit them."

Also bungie should stop putting in bounties that require depositing 15 motes which is probably the single greatest reason that people lose motes.

The Wardcliff MW is silly. It doesn’t just follow dudes around corners, it’s better at finding targets at distances and when spread out. Picking up power means getting a team wipe 69% of the time.

Yeah, I knew they weren't going away but I learned shockingly I have two Valor resets this season despite barely playing pvp and figured I should capitalize if I had a chance. Guess I just have to bust rear end come December to knock that part out.

Two things I think would dramatically improve the gambit experience would be:

-Swap Knights and Phalanxes on 5/10 mote deposits, this seems painfully obvious to anyone who plays Gambit regularly IMO. Knights are a useless blocker at 10 and the enemy team spamming 3 Phalanxes immediately leading to a quick invasion is an effortless way to pull miles ahead early on. Knights at 5 and Phalanxes at 10 changes the dynamic there. Maybe swap some health numbers?

-Since summoning a primeval first is in no way a guarantee of winning, make it so the first team to summon a primeval gets some reward, extra loot at the end of the match, extra infamy, literally anything to incentivize getting that primeval our first. Something simple like half a bounties worth of Infamy (so if you summon first twice in a row you get like a full bounties worth)

Basically any change that incentivized playing the game correctly would own bones.

Also I think Bygones is Dogshit compared to my laser accurate Chattering Bone, I love that the guns in this game can feel so varied despite both of them doing the same thing.

Stability MWK

I put a Counterbalance mod in because i had one lying around and its basically just a kinetic darkest before for me. Really not sure which barrel to use, my concern is there must be a stability breakpoint at which my barrel renders my mod useless due to Masterwork stability. Also Im on PC and i keep hearing stability work different here than on console.

As a late comer to the game it's really frustrating learning the mechanics of all the different game modes. There's pretty much no in game documentation of anything and half the poo poo I Google ends up being based on what the game was at launch.
