Took me 34 nightfall runs.

Its annoying as poo poo now. Its not fun to use and it has barely any flinch under fire compared to other snipers. It should have extra flinch.

Who cares because that archetype of snipers is hot trash if you're a true blinting hero

Its actually pretty amazing. It 2 body shots and you can fire it as fast as a scout rifle. You just need a good stability perk and scope.

Good. Bladedancer was rediculous in yr1.

I like what theyre doing with class balance. Its a little shallow but its going to result in way less aids builds like viking funeral/touch of flame was and blink/qd was in yr1.

Everythings being pushed to be gunskill rather than rock paper scissors by ability and thats good imo.

My gut feeling is they are going to dial up the SBMM to 11, so putting everyone into 2 giant catch all playlists is the best way, so they can slice and dice people based skill to their hearts content.

It's a piece of poo poo philosophy. It would be all well and good if there was some reason to go up brackets of skill. Better rewards or even just a rank next to your name. Something. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing the thumbless wanker with a 0.1kd get the ballerhorn.

But if it means i can find a game quicker than once every 10 minutes then it's still an improvement over the current aids we have now.

The problem is their skill based philosophy doesnt even work. We had 0 games go to score limit on sunday when we were in that 6. It just meant the games took forever to find and then sucked connection wise. None of them were competitive.

If they had everything connection based the result would've been the same just faster to find games and a smoother experience. For a greater cross section of players.

I dont mind their philosophy of just 4 game modes a week 2 of which feature a heavier match making because its just going to mean literally everyone plays the two without it. Not ideal but not terrible either because for the last year everyones just played the weekly mode anyway unless it was mayhem aids. If im locked into two modes but the connection is fine I can live with it.

The problem is going to come in december when/if they do what they do every christmas and adjust the match making to be tighter than a fishes rear end in a top hat across all playlists to protect the xmas influx and we'll get no connection quality again anywhere.

The tip lipped nature of the pvp when the numbers in pvp have at times been huge is a little frustrating.

Is there anything better than getting teabagged when you get killed for like the first or 2nd kill of a match and then just going balls fuckin deep on that dude for the rest of the game so bad they leave?

They already kinda walked that all back in ttk though.

Hive are servants of worms that worship the darkness. Taken are cunts too.

Fallen are just rear end in a top hat space refugees who got rekt by civil war. Siva fallen are space-isis.

No one knows what the vex actually are except they show up and kill poo poo and build machines in tunnels and want something.

Cabal are conquering assholes possibly running from something but not necessarily super evil but we bumped em heaps.


I do like though how they hinted at this coming in ttk with the stuff from the intercepted cabal transmissions from ttk. Cabal intel talked about zombies getting up and looting their dead and then doing sick nasty sparrow tricks and dancing. Then we hosed up their soldiers trying to kill oryx and now their boss is like wtf?

How much more could they have juiced from the stranger and the queen? Oh yeah one works for osiris probably and uses vex tech and yeah the queen passed out from her spirit bomb but shes just sleepin it off in the throne room but they dont have the light so the cabal dont care.

Im going to guess the Osiris expansion is partly taken from the "vex void" expansion announced in the original roadmap and the rasputin one is going to be more siva/fallen stuff.

There's some poo poo in an interview where it states that Gaius is apparently the Cabal emperor and consults with something that talks to him. I bet its a ghost from another dimension or something.

Yeah they mentioned something about his consigliare and even mentioned the voice actor. Could just be a baller psion though. Probably a raid sub boss to throw in or a strike boss.

Should be cool.

Sniper rifles are fine. Ice breaker and nlb are aids though.

I think the energy weapons serve an additional purpose. They will damage enemy shields faster, hurt guardians in their super and activate certain perks on weps (one of the exotics reloads when you take arc damage).

The dudes who played the alpha at the reveal also said there was plenty of power ammo lying around quite often in the strike and in the story. So I think to mitigate the "ma Sniper" tears - you'll be able to carry more in reserve and use it more often especially in pve.

I think it'll be a lot less of an issue than everyone thinks. Rockets seemed a little toothless in the footage ive seen while shotguns and snipers seemed pretty solid in terms of single target dps.

I dont mind the changes in pvp really at all because I've always been a primary weapon slut more than snipers and shotguns even if i was pulling off some nice shots with a new longbow last night.

The most pain in pvp over the last few iterations have been sticky nades, shotgun prevalence, nlb/uni remote, subclass fuckery like the sunsinger days and weapon archetype being almost impossible to 1v1.

They've found roundabout ways of removing those issues.

Got bit by the cauldron glitch last night. It's only been around since house of wolves glad to see some consistency in destiny.
