It worked kind of okay in VoG, I guess? It was more of a novelty than something enjoyable however.

The walls in the shadow zone having holes in them is always fun, but at least you get to shoot a fat robot at the end.

The problem is that almost any fight can sound the same if you're reductive enough. "Do a mechanic, then shoot the boss" is pretty much every fight with a boss in it in the game. People generally stand in one spot not because the fight demands it, but because people want to maximize the damage they do and grouping up lets them do it. Fights that remove this sort of dynamic, like Oryx, usually get made fun of as "synchronized swimming."

Basically, so long as the fight involves needing to do damage to a thing, people can and will find the optimal way to do that damage. Unless every fight is siege engine, it's a problem you're always going to run into.

I finally got Breakneck and it's so good I'm considering dismantling my dragonfly/rampage Ringing Nail for its Rampage Spec mod. RN sounds good on paper but doesn't seem to hit headshots and proc dragonfly often enough and 450 fire rate feels so slow after using pretty much all my other guns. And I don't like ARs in the energy slot. Compare that to Breakneck which doesn't have dragonfly but just wrecks everything and reloads super fast

Do not dismantle your ringing nail just for a mod. :stare:

The curated is the best second slot AR out there. It pairs really well with arbalest.

Yeah I won't. (Though it's not the curated, no HCR) But I've vaulted it anyway because it just feels kinda disappointing somehow

Yeah. There was also some other stuff they had in court of Oryx like having to use cursed thrall to break the enemy bosses shield for a damage phase


SmallpoxJenkins posted:

People routinely hosed up that cursed thrall thing by shooting them the minute they spawned, instead of waiting for them to get near the boss, and that trend was going strong months after the Court was introduced.

One of the scorn blind well bosses has the same mechanic, but the screebs spawn right next to him.

And pubbies still manage to wail on the shielded boss, pushing him away from the Screeb spawn

screebs in the well owns because you can arc hunters repeatedly wade in and try to dps the boss with a stick and then I pop one of the screebs and dude gets vaporized. I laugh every time.

Well, I did. I haven't done the well in like three months now.

Yuuuup. Pretty sure if I personally didn't go grab the orbs on the week 2 ogre boss his shield would never get broken

and forget about passing them to power them up

I grab the orb and strafe dance in front of a person shooting the ogre. Sometimes they'll look at me before I throw the orb but they're still volunteering themselves to learn the fight.

Yeah they're all set up so one player with a couple of brain cells can unlock the boss and make the DPS everyone else is doing actually decrease its health.

Really looking forward to the future nerf. I don't know what they were thinking with Outbreak Prime. It's TOO good. There's so little recoil it feels like you're playing Wolfenstein3D rather than Destiny.

The WoW that people got addicted to is not the WoW they are playing anymore. I’ve tried on two separate occasions to resub and WoW is seriously a shadow of how fun it used to be.
