I used the bog standard Destiny 2 profile but changed the button mappings around. I've never tinkered with the ballistic curves of DPI whatsits. It feels noticeably different (worse) than actual KBaM gaming, but I'm so used to it now that I'd hate for it to change.

Did you change anything from the standard?

i cram everything i can onto the mouse because i have about 5-10% strength in my left pinky and about 20% in my ring finger so i'm probably not great to ask. like i have crouch set to Q so i can have my middle finger rest in the break between W and Q and rock over to the one I need.

if you're playing a crucible game against me I will almost always juke to my right! :v:

carrying a 1.0+ straight K/D, meaning you know how to win more points than lose, is second only to "map knowledge" in terms of being "good" at unbalanced bungie pvp.

I don't think there's anything special about my xim setup, the wasd stuff is standard and bumpers are on Q and E.

I have Y bound to middle mouse button to make weapon swaps faster, and mouse wheel up is sprint so I can flick my finger to run fast. I have a thumb button on the mouse bound to the 'turn assist' feature which lets me do 180's a little bit faster.

90 more solar kills, 3 rumble and 100 precision to go.

I'm thinking I might be able to get this entire kill poo poo quest line done in what will be 4 sessions.

You really get hosed if you end up playing countdown over and over again. I think the first hour and a half getting the hand cannon kills I got about 40 kills and was at about 30%. Got 2 games of clash back to back and boosted it to 70%. The rest was slogging through survival and countdown.

If you could just go into clash or control it would be really quick and easy. Survival is pretty eh. Heavy spawns way too soon and too often and it pretty much becomes a shitfest.

I feel for ya bruv, I really do. It's so loving lovely to spend 15 minutes in a game and finish with 8 or 9 kills because either your team mates or your opponents are thumbless and die too quick and get the same thing for the next hour and a half.

I'm not looking forward to the precision kills. I think I'm going to fill myself to the eyeballs with caffeine and beers and do it in one slog either till my shot goes to poo poo or the quest is done.

I did Luna precision headshots in two evenings and I assure you I am not some kind of pvp God. I am old and tired and used West of Sunfall with a targeting helm.

However I am now convinced that 4 stacks in Comp are a death wish unless you're all killers.

Telesto, panic knives and nova warp are all mega aids. Especially when a team is smart enough to use them consecutively rather than all at once.

Plz more control bungie I got a 25 kill game before. Need more of that.

I find it easier to grind out bounties and quest steps in Rumble. The good players seem to stick to other game modes and it's much easier for me to not have to worry about anything other than shooting everything in sight.

Sure as poo poo not this Thursday. They got to congratulate everyone on how they took a 25 minute quest and spread it over 3 weeks (and gently caress I love time gated poo poo, but it was done dumbly). But major props to the intern who dusted off the Cosmodrome for us.

I love the gun, its PVE dumb fun, my favorite kind of Destiny.

They should have designed the quest to be way more meaningful. Me and Mikey-San and haveblue were discussing it last night, it's really weird how it was tacked onto the Festival of the Lost, and then extends past the festival. It feels artificially inflated (yeah everything is artificially handled it's a video game but this more so). Like they could have had the Cosmodrome boss drop encryption cores that are needed to decrypt the thunderlord engram, and then it was like 1 million cores are needed, and then the entire player base runs the mission over and over to get to 1 million. Whip up a quick little website, and have an intern update the encryption core count every day at 10 AM PT. They could still stretch it out to 3 weeks, but with smoke and mirrors for it to feel decent.

thank you for reading my destiny design fan fiction.
