It zeros out your special ammo every time you die. Or change rounds in elimination modes.

Earnings call at 1:30 PT today. Also pretty spicy "leak" over on Reddit, granted there's nothing there that isn't just speculation from other minor leaked info like the Megabloks thing and the Q3 earnings call.

Yea they just got done with the overview. They leaned heavy on Overwatch, WoW, and Skylanders; apologized for CoD in Space, and just read off the one sentence blurb about Destiny. I wanna say they used the term "seasons" for the expanded content plans but might have heard wrong. That might suggest a quarterly calendar.

Vaguely hinted at a Q3 release, but that's just my interpretation. They mentioned they are expecting higher revenue in the second half due to Destiny 2 release, and even higher Q4 with CoD release.

Soo, surely this must mean we can expect a polished no-rush release..

Whaaaat were they thinking letting Activision put that clause in the contract?

They are on the Q&A now and expanded a bit on Destiny: confirmed for Fall 2017, trying to make it more accessible to casual FPS players but keeping returning players invested, more cinematic, big reveal is being planned. I love how half the questions sound like gamers fishing for info and just getting answered with actual financial info.

Because they were under the assumption they would be releasing games every 2 years. They were all "lol three years? gently caress yeah that will never be an issue."

Look, so long as I don't have to wait a year until the proper story campaign comes out this time and my Guardian talks a bit more, I'll be happy with Destiny 2.

Oh, and give me Grimoire access from in game. Seriously, just patch it into a terminal in the Tower and Reef.

Weapons and abilities were the focus of this work. The post-show dialogue has observed the absence of changes to Artifacts – namely Skorri’s. You haven’t heard the last from the Live Team, and the Sandbox is always an important part of their exploration of where the game should go next. With 2.5.0.2 almost off the workbench, our design team is looking at another future release as a potential vehicle for some tuning on artifacts as well. Time will tell, and you’re always a part of the conversation.

From the TWAB. No skorris change.

The high impact autos I have bothered to save


Been using rifled barrel but I can swap to PB or HLS, probably the best PVP role. Used it to complete a crucible bounty(only used RB) this week felt like a little extra DPS would have netted me more kills(obviously)

ehhh... rodeo + RB or PB or IM + CB never used it just sits my vault, maybe time to shard

Got this today from a crucible bounty, focus-fire/BF/CB the other middle option is feather mag. Used a little bit in patrol and it fires so slow and has such small a mag at 18 and not great range/AA. The base reload is great though and it is incredibly easy to hit crits.

HCR or Appended magazine / speed reload or HLS / CB, fun in PVE and could be interesting in PVP with the patch

Is khostov 28 impact in the 450 firing mode? Could be ok too if so.

I got like 5 or 6 that could be cool if it breaks right. Wish i kept the year 1 trials ar that was kind of fun.

I just found like 3 other 28 impact ones on my lovely warlock with counterbalance or perfect balance, a range mod and hidden hand.

Even if the 8 impact class is good monte carlo and fabian could be pretty fun.

I really hope they bust the meta wide open with the changes. Would be nice to have 5 or 6 different options accross classes instead of one or two.

From what i read while making GBS threads yesterday if they buff it just enough with the precision increase it'll have a ttk in that .8 seconds range if you can hit head.

If they dont it'll be like doctrine and zhalo and poo poo now where it just doesnt do damage fast enough to win a 1v1.

Yeah but problem is 7 headshots straight in open space is gonna be tough as poo poo with a moving target. The whole reason pulses and hand cannons own is because you can duck and dodge and do burst damage in spurts. Destiny maps have cover everywhere. With a pulse you catch someone peeking and get a single burst on them with a hawksaw and you do 75(?) damage in one go. In that same span I need to line up and land 3 headshots while keeping my aim precise where before I just needed to pull the trigger once.

Auto rifles only really work when you ropponents have the reaction time of a sloth and nowhere to hide. Theoretically they will have the better TTK but I think tactically in this game with movement and map design the way it is you're not going to get to rasheed advantage of it
