Now imagine you gotta play the people I do and your precision shots aren't precision shots. Or you're dealing with skating titans.
Matchmaking was alright for a couple weeks even if I had to carry because I had people to shoot at and the connections were solid. That's better than this shit where I still gotta carry but against diamonds with 5 blueberries who die 15+ times, which a majority of my team just did last game. People still don't get there's no point in going for control nodes if you're just gonna feed the other team. Fuckin' hate control so much. You can starve their points just not dying while they have two control points. But no just be grist for the mill.
THe game modes in comp are a complete joke, what utter cretin at Bungo thought these would be remotely fun?
By DY_nasty Go To PostIt may be a rough transition, but try and stay away from autos and pulse rifles if you can.Actually, pulses are just about the easiest thing to get headshots with in the game. Aim at their upper chest, and let the recoil pattern carry the burst up to their face for the third shot. Makes it hard to miss. When I didn’t have a high stability pulse yet my game was built around that.
Or, get a Queenbreaker and let that 100 aim assist snap onto their head any time you’re even near it.
Pulses are too damn slow unless you got them MW out, they're an exotic and or you got a good random roll.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostPulses are too damn slow unless you got them MW out, they're an exotic and or you got a good random roll.If you’re at the level of competition where headshots are a challenge, you can use pretty much any darn thing you want. Pulses are totally viable.

By Random Ass Username Go To PostPulses are too damn slow unless you got them MW out, they're an exotic and or you got a good random roll.The thing about recoil is that it's dependent on how the user handles it in general and versus a strafing target. On top of having the cadence down, its hard for even amazing players to grasp the sweet spot when it comes to optimal range as well. "Mid range" damage drop off is one thing, optimal grouping range is another. On top of that, aiming body is what turns two taps into three or three into four. The thing about Pulse Rifles is that missing *any* of the burst puts you down on the scorecards early. And if you're not putting that whole burst on the head you're effectively stretching time to kill something serious.
It's hard to bet on the killing shot being the precision hit as well. Any quests centered around precision kills can be a headache tho
And QB is.... You might be a beast with it Ive never liked it lol. It's the same issue with all linear fusions - why wait on damage? Normal FRs are a different story because you can onehitkill guys from the hip beyond shotgun range. Linears and QB? All the aim assist in the world doesn't make up for having to wait for a shot to cook.

By DY_nasty Go To PostAnd QB is…. You might be a beast with it Ive never liked it lol. It's the same issue with all linear fusions - why wait on damage?Aside from because it’s cool, almost entirely because of the aim assist. I find snipers by far the hardest thing in the game to use, but the QB is dead easy to dome people with.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostThe hell kind of an answer is this.A real one? If you’re in matches where everybody is 4-5 shotting each other, just go with what’s comfortable. Having an extra .3 seconds on your minimum TTK will make zero difference when that represents an ideal that you’re not in. There are a lot of elements to think about ahead of that - like can you control the thing and does it fit the rhythm and distance you like to play at. I’m at a level where people are at least reasonably skilled and I’m still far more effective with a high stability pulse than anything else.
No no, you're not stuck always in those noob squads and you're purposely trying to suck for what reason exactly? Just stop. You can find a comfortable weapon without purposefully using a gimped one. I already made some caveats to the pulse if someone really wants to use one and you're talking about deliberately not getting headshots. Just stahp.
I think Crucible is just buggy period or something, I'm not getting drops from it, I'm talking even blues.
Know what's dope? A bunch of blue drops you don't give a shit about that are super high light level you can keep around to infuse.
Know what isn't? Making it incredibly difficult to acquire Masterworks Cores to infuse with.

By Random Ass Username Go To PostYou can buy them.Yea but the price goes up exponentially after you buy each one.
Gunslinger loses with a direct hit from medium range to an Arcstrider? lol okay Bungie
So sometimes I can't legit back out of crucible and I have to force quit the game.
Buggy mess.
Least I got more than half those double kills done just tonight, protip: Graviton Lance is your friend for that.

By Random Ass Username Go To PostI already made some caveats to the pulse if someone really wants to use one and you're talking about deliberately not getting headshots.No, I’m talking about the exact approach that worked for me as I was easing my way back into the game after not playing a competitive fps for nearly 2 years. It’s not the ideal way to play but it works, critical kill daily bounties have never, ever been a problem for me. If you land your bursts you’re guaranteed that the final bullet will be a crit. Over time, you get the hang of targeting the reticle higher, and at least you’ve been getting some kills along the way.
It wasn’t even my idea, I’m 99% sure I got it from a True Vanguard video back in D1.
Incidentally, what do you guys have your look sensitivity set at? I tried going up to 5 but it was too much, I’m at 4 right now.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostIncidentally, what do you guys have your look sensitivity set at? I tried going up to 5 but it was too much, I’m at 4 right now.I'm always between 3-4

"I got 50 kills by rushing solo with a gunslinger and a grenade launcher and you can too!"
"try defender titan. destroy warlocks with this one great trick..."
he'll do stuff like drop 50+ kill games then reach back and say "dawnblade is great guys :D"
he's cool and all but falloutplays, coolguy, even slayerage put out better info than he does. im not sure when he turned into family friendly mtashed but like.... yeahhhhhh. even triplewreck is humble

I learned the hard way that he’s the least emulatable player out there, all those angel of light + fusion rifle shenanigans are him & only him. He’s not even human, he fires his Anonymous Autumn manually as fast as mine goes with full auto. And the guy somehow does all that while playing claw. I would pop a knuckle.

He did teach me that sidearms aren’t useless in this game though. So there’s that.
All the Destiny youtubers have be en ruining the mystique of Forsaken since release. Within 24hrs they be spilling all the exotics and shit
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostAll the Destiny youtubers have be en ruining the mystique of Forsaken since release. Within 24hrs they be spilling all the exotics and shitSuch are the pressures of having to produce daily content. I’m pretty selective with which videos I watch right now.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostAll the Destiny youtubers have be en ruining the mystique of Forsaken since release. Within 24hrs they be spilling all the exotics and shitDid you expect otherwise? I'm surprised all items weren't revealed before launch, tbh.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostSeriously, I've had to unsub from so many.I think my only non lore subs are Truevanguard (because he's just good), mtashed (only when he's shitting on bungie), Falloutplays (when he's not trying to get his money up), and Coolguy - all the time coolguy because he's just the coolest guy
Not the lore guys though, they're alright
By livefromkyoto Go To PostIncidentally, what do you guys have your look sensitivity set at? I tried going up to 5 but it was too much, I’m at 4 right now.I'm at 10 on pc and still could go higher but that's where it stops.

They still need X/Y settings too
BTW, Im never gonna hate on TV too hard because he introduced bullet efficiency to the conversation instead of nonstop TTK comparisons.
It's still dependent on making people miss, but it explains why heavy impact scout rifle and heavy handcannon loyalists will never disappear.

Man, some of these era guys....i don't think these guys sleep, one dude on 535 on all three characters. And still whinning about drops.
Then why didn't you use your powers to tell people NOT to get into that life?
You like one of those former gang bangers who goes to schools but tells kids "you wanna get into a gang that's up to you not my problem"

It's nice that builds are far more diverse now, but end game and economy forces the overall lay of the land more than anything else. Gitting Gud is always a constant tho. I like to do science and work on that more than lay out the long roads for grabbing exotics.
Because more often than not, the weapon you bust your ass grinding for will be given away like Halloween candy in a few weeks. Or worse, you end up grinding for shit you already had.
The biggest kind of F U about Destiny is just how the stuff that's rare and not likely to resurface is just random shit from Eververse seasonal events. They need more cool shit like the Nightfall emblems that give you a halo. Raiding and Trials have some stuff but for the most part it'd be nice to just be able to "wear" some achievements and more than one at a time.
Naw the worse is the exotics that legit force you to group up and do nonsense while inspecting props in places you'd never go to
By DY_nasty Go To PostNaw the worse is the exotics that legit force you to group up and do nonsense while inspecting props in places you'd never go toThat's fair I just meant like in terms of rare never to be seen again stuff. I think all of the exotics can still be obtained? I mean I get that it's kind of shitty they can be obtained other ways. They should just allow folks to have a certain emblem or skin. I'm not really into with-holding weaps from anyone, makes pvp f'ed.
I'm just never gonna get over quickplay taking 10-15 min only to hand me an L against sweaties. Could at least be quicker if I'm going to be wasted by a team.
Sigh. The conspiracy theorist in me says it will let off a little when I don't have a crucible part of a quest going.
By Kibner Go To PostI mean, have you paid attention to the thread the year before Forsaken came out?I have. The game has been shit, ok, awesome, shit again, getting better, ehhh, shit , and now awesome
it's pretty good but there is still stuff in terms of obtaining gear that's like "lemme just grind this out why is this shit left up to RNG bungie pls."
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI'm at 10 on pc and still could go higher but that's where it stops.Do you by any chance wear a leather trench coat and move in bullet time?
