Dude gently caress Rift. At least with control a well timed hammers on heavy and to clear b towards the end or something you can solo make the difference to win a game.

Solo rolling in Rift you just lose because pubbies are retarded.


there are people in this thread who play PvP and solo during IB? my buddy list is lit up during IB week and it takes all of no minutes to get in a party chat. find goons, roll over opponents. enjoy a week of passing out backflip dunk asswhippings.

Didn't someone get a hate mail message from this game about "camping inside like pussies"?

dunno if you're thinking about me, but i fondly remember this butthurt i got after repeatedly not letting some guy come out of the C door on Black Shield:



he was inside on black shield and i just stayed outside the door. seems like the solution is uh not sit inside and get killed multiple times when the door opens?

e: my favorite part is the timestamps -- the first two messages happened during the game, then way later he was still mad and messaged me again

e2: you are probably thinking of something else but enjoy the funny salt anyway

I've totally come back around on the vendor Hawksaw with FS/CB/SB. Using the SLO-19 instead of the SPO-28 is a game changer.

I'm of the opinion now that the only good target acquisition sights are the Red Dot OAS and Sureshot IS. A small boost to target acquisition isn't poo poo without great handling. SPO-28, SC Holo and the Reflex sight are loving garbo.

This is why I really like SteadyHand. It rolled on an Aegis of mine and I previously had ignored the sight because it felt weird, but +8 handling is no joke. (Plus I have Quickdraw, so I swap and ADS almost instantly.)

handling > TA

That Rift match I posted the other day was too slow, so we sped it up.

https://youtu.be/n46W1T-6flE

3m15s -- not even long enough for me to get an Unbroken. "Fastest Best Rift mercy" should be an SA challenge.

e: you're limited by the speed of respawn and spark recharge, so this is probably approaching the limit of time

What happened?

It's really boring. A month ago, a Bungie developer made an honest mistake in a tweet regarding matchmaking. Today, people on Reddit went apeshit on the basis of the mistake. Cozmo quickly corrected the error. Reddit is, of course, now shouting LIES and DECEPTION because REDDIT is full of CHILDREN.

I've been in Derek's shoes before, where stuff changes internally and you aren't always aware or forget you changed something yourself. Then you gently caress up by not double-checking before saying the thing that is wrong. For this reason, I try to be very conservative in how I reply to people about product functionality. And even then I screw up a lot. It happens, you move on, you try harder next time. (Then it happens again and you develop a good drinking habit, like most seasoned engineers.)

It's funny to laugh at but people who are getting upset about it (lol reddit) are being silly.

What did the dev say wrong?

He said that fireteam matchmaking was at least partially based on the max skill of the fireteam, for matching that involves fireteams. Today, after Reddit poo poo the bed, Cozmo showed up to say it's based on average skill of the fireteam. Big whoop.

Normally I'd just believe Cosmo but Derrick "Go Play Strikes" Carroll had a bunch of follow on tweets and was adamant.

Yeah, my spidey-sense says one of the following is true:

- Derek was thinking of a system that isn't current or didn't ship at all, and he was wrong
- Cozmo is wrong
- The actual matchmaking system is more complex than Twitter replies afford, neither is 100% wrong, and the community will never be satisfied with any answer(s)

The replies definitely indicate he's thinking of something concrete and specific, so who knows. Perhaps the real mistake was replying to anyone in the first place.

Finally got an Elsyluna with an ok roll and I'm not even sure if it's okay enough

Hidden hand and partial refund with hammer forged, reinforced barrel or HC rounds

HH is good for Babymoon, since that HC has kinda low AA. Reinforced Barrel is a pretty big hit to stability, which sucks for Baby 'cuz of the hilariously strong pull to the right. I think this gun needs to maintain stability in order to be consistently easy to use. I'd probably run Hammer Forged over RB. Keep the base stability and increase the range a bit.

My bonerrific Rangefinder+LITC roll has Rifled Barrel and Braced Frame. I usually run RB and can't imagine how hard it would be to use with very low stability. (Though I might start using BF more, since the gun practically doesn't move with that much stability, and the base range + RF still amount to pretty good range.)
