Blindsite, CheeseFactory, are you guys playing Trials on PS4? If so, would you mind teaming up with me? I wanna try and get Darkest Before before the patch hits and everybody's using it.

What perks are people using on Darkest before?

I have one laying around from early season so when it eventually becomes meta and the game gets tolerable again I want to know.

Small bore and a few CB mods? Arrowhead brake? What's the deal?

It's like all things. When you play something with friends and your good at it, it's fun. We still have a core group of players from my clan who are active so that's nice.

Was D2 a let down? gently caress oath.

The pulse is really good on console. But you NEED stability mods. So you kind of have to make a few sacrifices to use it.

And mine has MW +range.

Im kinda going for a big trials streak at the moment.

I got to 199 in D1 and lost...

In D2 i would of easily gotten 250 straight off the bat but a black screen game which counted as a loss ruined that.

Im about 140ish currently.

Yeah its p good.

You can make the range even higher but the recoil is just a bit to much.

Get into the habit of sliding constantly with it or just before a gun fight, the boost it gives is noticeable.

I have something like a 70% accuracy with this thing.

And its not even a XIM thing, its a hitbox thing.

We had two fairly easy flawless runs last night. But we matched with a tough team on a 5 or 6 win streak...


Then we immediately matched with them again and ruined their run :)

Lots of thoughts (Frostmire's Hex more like Frostmire's Sex if you get it down, Forward Path is meh, Metronome okay) but the most prevalent at this moment: ghost rounds from a hand cannon immediately enrage me and turn me heel. Holy gently caress do I want to run into Bungie, jump, tuck, and cannonball thru every last desk and work station.

So because I hate myself I played a poo poo ton of this game this morning while watching soccer. I got the Forward Path FWC AR on literally my final rank up, which was all I wanted. It actually seems pretty nice.

Slamming public events on Earth while Devrim is dropping 330 engrams is pretty ace.

The game is still shallow as hell but for a "play it every once in a while" type activity the core 6 seconds of fun almost redeems it.

Also I watched that cheese/blindsite twitch vid and holy poo poo is destiny 2 pvp loving boring to watch. Yikes.

Now watch this drive.

It's why twitch and YouTube has gone down for d2 super quick. All play looks the same. I have a few clips of we rans and the game play is boring as gently caress to watch.

Tbh if i didn't have clan mates on on the reg I wouldn't be bothering. Having active dudes to joke around with in between raping teams makes it fun.

The other good thing too is the only players left either suuuuuck or are pretty good so you can get a decent mix of having to sweat a little and the rest is a cruise.

Hopefully the new balance patch brings back a few more players.

I'd advise every one to get a living memory from the vanguard if you can I think if they fix bloom it'll be really good.

I recommended people try it before, as it's already a pretty fun gun. I'm not holding out on bloom disappearing... Like ever. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

If they removed bloom handcannons would probably be in a perfect place. Maybe buff the 140 damage so that 2 headshots and a body is a kill rather than the 2+2 it takes now but on PC bloom is almost non existent and they're the weapon of choice. So there's an argument to be made for a large bloom reduction which they have already done in the osiris patch.

It's not as big an issue as it was but it's enough of one for it to be an issue.

I just hope the balance pass is 90% buffs and 10% slight adjustments rather than outright nerfs.

I get where youre coming from but I've been a huge slut for all the whispers and comments from the devs and it sounds like the general consensus is guardians are currently weak, slow and their weapons aren't fun.

Aka hitting their d1 patch goals.

My ideal would be the only nerfs:
reducing flinch from high cal and explosive rounds v player opponents
Slight handling decrease for scout rifles accross the board,
handling decrease for grenade launchers and rocket launchers accross the board
Decreased handling for burst fire side arms

With buffs being along the lines of
Removed bloom from hand cannons, increased handling
Improved range and damage (slight) for pulse rifles

With classes getting increased base movement and jump speeds

Improved in air accuracy

Decrease aim assist cut off and improved hit detection for invisible enemies. Allow normal jumping in smoke like d1.

Melee cool down reduced, grenade cool downs reduced, super energy from damaging enemies drastically increased.

Super damage to pve opponents increased too.

Drastic increase to pve enemies for snipers. Drastic increase in handling speed overall for snipers.

I'd also increase the in air accuracy of shotguns and fusions.

Right now the biggest issue with the meta is thar pulses are useless except 2 of them in all game types and it's too easy to be effective everywhere with a scout/last hope and invis/smoke combo is too strong and can affect game mechanics too much.

They don't need to buff grenade damage and give it a cool down reduction one or the other imo. Supers should come back faster but not through charity should need to be harvesting meat for you to get more energy.
