Like ffs even if they can’t do that, how about Saladin sells the guns, they are 1 light, and only those guns work in the mode. Use your brain dumbass.

Yeah

THE BIG DOG DADDY posted:

You could absolutely just give people all the weapons from the vendor and then only allow them to enter matchmaking if they have a specific approved loadout equipped like the raid matchmaking.

You could do this as an MVP:

1. Pick up one of 3 quests to complete iron banner matches with a specific loadout (can only hold one at a time)
2. Upon picking a quest, salidin gives you the 3 weapons with set stats
3. In order to start matchmaking you must have a quest and you must have the items equipped
4. You can't pick up the other quests/loadouts until you shred the ones you have now.

The only real change that isn't possible Right now is some mechanic for locking equipment before matchmaking finds a match (currently equipment locks when you start to zone in like in trials).

Considering their interns built a Street fighter game out of the destiny engine for fun, I find it harder and harder to say something isn't possible. They just don't care

I rolled a Hammerhead with Feeding Frenzy, Rampage, Appended Mag/Flared Magwell, Chambered Compensator/Polygonal Rifling, and a reload masterwork. Would Rampage Spec, Counterbalance Stock, or Backup Mag work best for a mod?

:wrong:

You can do it. I'm a hundred miles from the personality type to flourish in Comp, and there's a very real despair to be felt when getting matched against NFs, but you'll discover all of a sudden you're on another 5 win streak and things will feel way more in your control. But then you'll spend hours stuck flopping between needing 2 wins and needing only 1 and it will damage your soul. But after that, the healing can begin!

Give it a genuine go, dude. Solo queue is some wild west poo poo but very survivable.

Also, while solo Crucible has its charm, you don't have to play solo! If you're stressing about hitting fabled, it's easier to do it in a fireteam, and it's easy to get a fireteam.

Is there a comparable tool for PS4? I've been using ftw.in, and I get some hits with it, but it usually takes a while to get even one response and trying to find a group to do leviathan with is really difficult.

i will never not laugh at these. i was looking for a comp group last season and the post says "MUST CARRY 2.2 LIFETIME"

hmmm, that's weirdly specific and mine is [checks notes] 2.14 or whatever (i remember it being a little below his post at the time) *clicks apply*

dude immediately messages me back to say "gently caress off, not 2.2". sure thing, rude boy. i look him up on dtr and he's running like 0.6 lifetime. either the most delusional pubby of all time or the rudest account recov of all time.

We'll see how it works. Their "Here's your Win, here's your Loss, here's your Win, here's your Loss, etc." system sucks rear end but I might actually prefer it to the proposed "every match is a 50/50 white knuckled nailbiter"

Speaking of that 50/50 thing the gate threw me against teams of 700s with my randos of 500 to 650 who all got mercied and it did this five times in a row. Turns out I'm not beating the sweatlords with Luna's after all
