It would be nice if the gunsmith could adjust the appearance/color of a sight's targeting reticle, even if that didn't change the sight's stats.

I find that the blue/green arrowhead of the mida is by far the most visible sight across all maps. The red, yellow and light blue sights can get lost on maps like twifhlight gap, rusted lands, cauldron, etc.

I have to wonder what things will be adjusted now that legacy consoles are being left behind like Kirk Cameron

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?

poo poo players against poo poo players will never improve, but if you mix it up others will. It's not about pub stomping (that's a bonus) it's about bullets actually connecting because I'm not playing someone in Australia, Brazil, Russian with an internet connection that is powered by a crippled hamster on a rusty wheel.

It doesn't seem that difficult to but connection as priority and keep some level of scrub protection in play, but what they are doing isn't working when I'm shooting green bars that are teleporting across the map or not taking damage like this jackass that tanked a golden gun shot.

As one of the lovely players who is likely being protected by the current matchmaking, I am curious how it would be to make a new character. In terms of actual time invested, how long did it take to get decent weapons to play with? Did you level your entire super tree, or just get it started? It might be fun playing with a limited build, no reload gloves or extra armor gear.

Anybody else going to lag it up in iron banner this week? I will be playing most nights so feel free to add me -cyansnow19

Fake Edit - PaulaDeensGunt may be my new favorite gamertag.

I ran two missions to unlock the double jump, grenade, and throwing knife.

I'm handicapping myself with unleveled armor and unleveled weapons aside from sniper scopes. I run The Duke Mk. II white hand cannon with no sights or perks, blue sniper with starting scope. Frankly, it's improving my game because I have to play smart and have no equipment perks on which to rely.

Playing in the lag free lobbies is great, but I don't want to make people quit the game because my rear end exploded all over them.

It's much funner to poo poo on them with bad weapons. They probably paid for carries and deserve scorn and humiliation.

I admit that Mech and I laughed a lot when we were making GBS threads on these people in doubles.

I've thought about running the full thing and building a whole new account just to see what my actual K/D would be without having to play solo and being poo poo on in crucible for a year since I was not yet a goon, and less of an idea how to play this dumb game than I do now.

On that note, is there any advice to someone that's used to PC FPS games coming to this? I picked it up months ago and scrub'd my way to my first 40 on a Titan, but even months later now I'm still more or less at the bottom of any Crucible match. I've tried donking with the Look speed. Problem is I either wind up with a wonderful turning speed but then can't master fine tune controls for putting a reticle on people and jump all over in combat or it's way way too slow for moving around a map but much better at fine tuning and aiming at the one poor sob that walks directly into my line of fire.

Obviously I need to practice but I'm hoping I'm missing something that might make it a bit easier.

reduce your stick sensitivity. I usually use 3-4 so fine tuning is easier. I used to be horrid at Crucible then I started picking a weapon and running laps in the Ember Caves part of Venus until I was consistently getting head shots with each weapon. Ran No Land Beyond and secondary sniper to improve my sniping.

As with all practice. Start slow and worry about accuracy first and speed will come when muscle memory starts to develop.

Reddit person discovers that the exotic class items are reducing your xp per kill instead of increasing it because they're a sperg that keeps deleting and remaking hunters:

Watched it a couple times to be sure. With cloak it added 2exp. Vandals are 6exp each. He's just bad at math.

I may start the habit of holding on to heavy for a while and letting the other team blow their their loads early. Not that I was a spammer before, but I would just run around with heavy out.

Also, gently caress the flags while heavy is in play. If you actually play the objective.

It's the pro tier choice, and anyone who uses machine guns is used to it because they can't compete with rockets. So you let everyone else frag each other in 2 seconds then you can clean up without risk.

I do this with my LMG, but I think I'm going to start doing it with rockets. Hang back and be the rear end in a top hat I usually am and then pull out my broken as gently caress Ash Factory and go to town.
