i'm all about being an rear end in a top hat but can't we just keep it isolated to destiny instead of revealing your borderline sociopathic enjoyment of mass murders?

laughing at strangers dying is generally a pretty hosed up thing, yes

Joking about something doesn't always equal laughing about it. It's also a tool to disarm and lessen horror. It's pretty common in the armed forces, for example.

this defense typically works a lot better when you're personally affected by something

Um, you think I'm more likely to joke about my mom dying than some strangers I empathize about? Yep, definitely some hosed up projecting going on here.

I'm sorry yours didn't love you.

considering how clicking on a random page in your post history yielded a first post of 'lol if you don't think the world would be better off if the iraqis were dead' i'm not wholly convinced you get to try to pull the 'i'm totally a reasonable person' defense

that wouldn't have been surprising even before destiny made it trivial to hit max light and i encourage you to not brag about smurfing in destiny, a game famously populated by people who are garbage at it

i told a bunch of fifth graders i was the same age as them, and then i crushed them at basketball, because i am in fact not the same age as them. who could have guessed?

i cannot condone behavior that could intentionally or unintentionally lead to bungie somehow making their matchmaking even worse

I get the argument behind sbmm, what I don't get is why if I roll a new account the connections magically improve.

because for every person who is good at destiny there are 15 shitters? it's way easier to get a lobby of people together in a geographic region when the acceptable pool of people you can draw from for a good match is like 85 percent of the players. hell, probably half the lobbies i wind up in are populated by people from different continents. it's beyond aggravating but even in it's heyday there were barely enough skilled players to go around, and now destiny is two years old.

look I'm all about the modern pvp experience being poo poo but pissing in a bunch of strangers Cheerios or acting like bungie is 'protecting' them from you is loving mind numbingly dumb

of course they're 'protecting' them from you, you're much loving better than they are. what do you expect bungie to do? put 44 percent win rate players against orchestrated six stacks? the lag is garbage but what the gently caress it's not like playing against these kindergarten scrubs is somehow better?

i don't really have a vested interest in protecting random strangers who suck at destiny, I'm just pointing out this isn't really going to do much to change the state of things. you're still going to get tossed in the same crappy laggy lobbies as soon as you return to your actual accounts, so what's the actual point here?

grenade distance is substantially less useful than melee speed on most maps, melee speed lets you trade in a ton of situations where you otherwise couldn't

sniper is grenadier/hidden hand with sightsys/longview slr10/tacsys sls15 and ap rounds/rifled barrel/oiled frame

sniper reload speed on the ps gloves/shotgun reload on the regular

pulse has cb/feeding frenzy and oas/focus lens fla5/quickdraw is and speed reload/braced/oiled frame

sniper rifle ammo on the boots. pretty okay.

strikers survive shoulder charge with arc armor + unstoppable, and with a sliver of health. nothing else survives, except maybe a ram warlock with element armor, but i don't think so.

I guess I wasn't clear. Doesn't a class item that is 335 contribute more actual Int/Dis/Str than an item at, say, 300 light? It should be easier to get to T10, 11 or 12 with items that are higher light because each individual item contributes more points to your total?

also, yes, but your intellect/disc/str split has nothing to do with your ability to survive shoulder charges, which is what people are talking about.

Is it doable or viable to destroy your ELO by losing in the crucible? Like, suiciding yourself over and over by feeding people in rumble.

it's probably super slow because at this point most people have played enough games that bungie isn't going to give you very much uncertainty in their matchmaking, even when i go on huge loss tears the players i'm playing against don't tend to get much worse.
