Where’s the ornament for the new gun, anyways

Got the Deadeye title, was just waiting on the wyvern precision kills which was fixed today. Tip: hit the wyvern head with a machine gun to open the front precision damage spot.

Surprised to find most of the gilded title triumphs already completed. The "legendary seasonal quest weapon" mentioned turns out to be the Ascendancy RL which you get by ranking up high enough with vanguard, crucible,or gambit.

It's the easiest title to get (and the only one I have)

No idea how I'm gonna get those Nightfall kills without dying lolol

If you have a NF that starts in a free-roam area (current one should work), you can start a legend-level one (so you won't match-make) and then just kill mobs in the world as slow as you like. That usually works fine.

Titans are bad in PvP and Bottom Striker is the only one that's somewhat good solely because of its melee active and passive. That's just the truth and aside from extremely aggressive close range play (which is super punished by Shatterdive anyway), Titans are going to be winning against equally skilled peers in spite of the class rather than because of it.

Luckily if you shoot and move better than other people that is by and large going to matter more than what a class offers so you can play whatever you want, just understand that every button you press is better on another class.

Also every roaming Titan super is extremely weak to Shatterdive which can stuff you in a locker from full health with no counterplay.

Petra, please, stop being mean to Crow-kun. He just wants to help. You think she'd be a little more respectful to the guy who used to be, you know, the Prince of the Reef. "Used to be" being the active phrase, I guess, but still, she's been on very good terms with Guardians so why the beef with him?

Also, they're really making you grind Astral Alignment for the Exotic quest, which is kind of a pain in the rear end to be honest. Since you're going to be competing with five other people for kills. At least Champion kills count for everybody involved.

Well yeah because Bungie treats Shatterdive with kid gloves so its been barely nerfed, and they keep adding more Stasis fragments that make it even stronger. Its so stupid how you can throw a glacier nade and shatterdive in like a half second.

Well she's one of two people that were in the room when Uldren was shot dead, and the other one is a mindless murder zombie that only cares about loot. Petra had actual reasons (high school grade fantasy fiction writing reasons, but reasons) to plug him.

Pretty good odds she's the one that pulled the trigger.

iirc you can hear both the ace (guardian) and vestian dynasty (petra) go off

however, both guns have dragonfly or whatever, so the lack of explosions implies that neither of them hit a headshot

Mill Village posted:

Watch this video if you want to see just how good Bottom tree Striker is in PVP. It was also even more overpowered back in Forsaken. Each time you killed someone with the super it would heal you. People would use One-Eyed Mask to get full health and an overshield with each kill and it was the most obnoxious poo poo for many months.

This is why ever since I got a Dunemarchers with an 86 recovery roll I’ve literally never taken it off. It works soo well with every single subclass. Run and punch/throw hammer/areal slam and kill everything nearby.

I will say though, any time I ever watch any of these PVP-heavy Destiny YouTube personalities say anything is “meta” or “the best ever..” I just don’t really put too much weight into it. The real truth is they are often so good at PVP you could put a starting white gun in their hands and they could probably go flawless with it. Their personal capabilities, stacked with probably just routine editing, can make a gun made out of pig poo poo look meta. It’s mostly content creation for click’s sake.

Soooo yeah. After some testing it defiantly seems like Explosive Light on Ascendancy with Argent Ordnance stack. With both on I was hitting a boss for around 131,000. With one or the other on I was hitting for around 90-100k.

Yeah, those guys who do PvP as a job definitely don't know what is good and what isn't.

A hand cannon body shot will sliver a second tier red bar and the sidearm will finish it off so the calculations work.

Apparently shatter kills don't count as Stasis kills?! I have to test this for myself.

IMO just remove the elemental affinity requirement. It has come to mean nothing, and there's nothing short of another overhaul that can *make* it mean something. It's a barrier to build strategy, excitement and full engagement of the game's promised RPG elements at this point.

The best classes right now for PvP overall are probably Revenant, Top Dawnblade, Bottom Stormcaller, Mid Voidwalker and Shadebinder.

Below that, decent classes with good potential are Top Gunslinger, Bottom Arcstrider, Spectral Blades, Top and Mid Stormcaller, Bottom Dawnblade with the animation skip tech on Phoenix Dive, Bottom Striker and Bottom Sunbreaker. After that you're getting into questionable picks but it's not like grenade throwing savants can't do well with Top Sentinel.

Marty is kind of a jerk but I feel bad for any artist that creates something and our capitalist meat grinder denies them rights to perform or share their work. This just feels like Bungie using the legal system to push their grudge against him, even if they're in the right it's a dick move.
The fact that they're still refusing to publish it in its entirety is bullshit. I'm keeping the version that was leaked on reddit a few years back on my phone, and it sucks that O'Donnell is not getting money from it, but I've got to figure that nobody hearing the work you poured your soul into has got to suck more than not getting paid. Even if he is a dick, doing that to someone just comes off as incredibly petty and spiteful.

Honestly a vinyl MotS is my dream at this point.

E: also confused about that article - If Marty 'won' the case in 2014 how the gently caress were they able to semand he turn over all MotS stuff?
