Iron Banner is basically en experiment with how lopsided they can make games.
If it's anything but that ffs go back to the drawing board Bungie.
Already playing at 3 games that should have been mercied before they began. And it's my first 3.
edit: Now it's just seeing how many IBs I can lose in a row to titan skating marco using full stacks.

By reilo Go To Post640 vs 620 shouldn't make this much difference but Destiny
it's pretty shit--nobody is interested in this. Even those who have max light don't want to be forced to waste valuable enhancement cores to bring up their favorite PVP weapons.
Had the worst game ever in the history of me playing Destiny because the connections are just garbo too. For me IB is basically just the worst pvp gaming experience I've ever had. I wish I was exaggerating.
Honestly I think I'm about done with how Bungie treats solo players. They've turned every pvp type into Trials basically and wonder why people aren't touching their game anymore.

By Bold 2 in One Go To PostBlast Furnace ladsOnly way to deal with NF/Lunas/Bygones atm.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostThere's a triumph to beat 50 guardians in one life in IB. Uhm.I do like the new medal format for IB though, no way that triumph is happening though...
All I know is Crucible devs have really fucked the pooch. Every single pvp playlist is stupid sweaty shit. Why?
A tip for people be sure to make all those baked goods and turn them in. Best way to farm Masterworks that's happened thus far.
Because weapons as dominant as Luna and NF should not have been given out last season.
That was a mistake because now those players can invade any playlist and make life hell for EVERYONE.
The very same players then make it impossible for new players to acquire said weapons because players with those weapons become gatekeepers.

By Bold 2 in One Go To PostBecause weapons as dominant as Luna and NF should not have been given out last season.This plus just how punitive it is towards solo people. I've never played against so many fireteams and stacks as I did today. What the hell. And not just in IB. It's all over now.

It's all over now.I typically dont mind facing stacks as a solo player in QP, but it should NEVER be allowed to happen in Comp.
I did hear on Era from a poster that Bungle outsource their matchmaking service to a 3rd party so it might explain but, man, it needs fixing ASAP.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostI typically dont mind facing stacks as a solo player in QP, but it should NEVER be allowed to happen in Comp.Facing stacks that I have to over and over is basically asinine. Every game is sweaty no matter what I'm playing. I just wanna go play some pvp, not feel like I entered a tourney.

Plus nfs/lunas bearing down on you, just impossible to do shit other than die.
And still not enough flinch as someone is able to cover distance unimpeded as you unloaded bullets into them while they shotgun you from 20 yards away.
Last night I had to give up my usual playstyle and go full aggro AoS because I was just tired of being NFed/Luna'd/Bygoned. Even my well rolled Blast Furnace couldn't keep up anymore, especially if the game was shit connections. Did better but I'm tired of having to go SSJ every game if I want to live and go positive. (Notice I don't even speak of winning the damn thing).
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostMy problem with sniping is the overzelous zoom scopes…D2 the weapon ranges are frankly too far at least on PC. Ridiculous what people can do to you with a pulse and earlier in its iteration, ARs. It's rendered scouts pointless really.
The maps arent big enough to warrant it
You say that, but I got a fast firing Distant Relation with auto and a Masterworked Polaris Lance and went on tear in IB.
Give them a try.
Give them a try.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostYou say that, but I got a fast firing Distant Relation with auto and a Masterworked Polaris Lance and went on tear in IB.No. And I have Polaris. Too slow. You don't play on PC do you?
Give them a try.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostNo. And I have Polaris. Too slow. You don't play on PC do you?PS4.
Do you have your Polaris MW'd?
I've had it MW for months. It's not bad but on PC the range of nonscouts is crazy and scouts are too slow and need tons of range. Pulses pretty much shit on 'em.
Le Monarque, specifically with Oathbreaker Hunter arms is probably the best PVP primary in the game tbh. It's basically got Wish Ender damage (puts any enemy to one shot territory) with Thorn poisoning, snapshot sights and a faster draw time. Terrific sights too.
It's not as good without Oathbreaker unfortunately. It's still solid without the arms, but being ready with a max damage shot at all times significantly increases your ability to place shots.
I was getting so tired of guys fleeing the second I hit them with the bow that I temporarily ran a build with Shonobus Vow in order to just fling tracking grenades to track them around corners, but it was kind of a corny build.
I've had fun running the build with top tree Nightstalker with a dust rock blues. They inevitably try to rush you, knowing they can't win any duel at distance, but dust rock cleans them up, and if you dodge and then wait at a corner after invis, you're off radar for 15 seconds so long as you don't move or perform an action.
Some thoughts on how to improve certain supers:
Nightstalker : Invulnerability for 5 seconds as soon as the animation starts to prevent the "trade" scenarios, also make the tether shot hit scan.
Exotic boots: Nightstalker gets extreme damage protection while within the orbit of his own tether.
Middle Tree Sunbreaker: Invulnerable to boss knockback while in super. Each hit heals Titan, damage scales up with each hit. Gives Titans a boss DPS option.
Nova bomb: Hold super button to strengthen Nova bomb for boss dps, does like 1.3x nighthawk damage to account for dps lost from charge time and doesn't require crit hit obviously.

By Smokey Go To Postyall still really in this heavy, huhNah. I think Dy just watches random tubes. I'm just over it. I guess Bold and Phaze are still doing things. PVP is broken and dead as fuck and PVE while better than before still kind of shit the bed by making people grind to do the latest shit. Forges already got old. Whatev.
Yh, still chasing the Dredgen title, its the only one I can realistically get. There is definitely a lul though.
But RAU is right, the PVP is broken and the hardcore sweats wont stay in comp and have chased away normal people by spreading their shit to quickplay
PVE is still great and the Forge is still good if you like the random rolls chase.
Naiobe labs drops on Tuesday and it will be full curse week, so still stuff to do and look forward to.

I could get Wayfarer but I'm just short on the weapons you have to RNG off EP. Kind of lame. I think one you can only get in a Nightfall too.
Niobe labs is a puzzle that opens the new forge when its solved
all the top streamers have been on it for hours now

I like the idea of puzzles, kind of hate how they go about them.
Oh I didnt even realize they turned it into some worlds first garbage and it has to be unlocked like a Raid. Whatever. I don't get them.

What needs to happen to make Destiny Great Again, in Destiny 3?
I'd probably play it more if FFA wasn't garbo

There is tons they can do, but everyone will tell you something different, there is one youtuber I watch who has really decent insight. His name is Lono from SaynoToRage
By Smokey Go To PostBeen primarily a Lone Wolf since Halo 2.And this is where Destiny really fails and genuinely lost people but the people who group up, do clan stuff or generally kiss Bungie ass will argue people should LFG more. (And as an aside this is even more hilarious since the in game ways to do it are pretty vacant so? PC didn't even have global/tower chat on launch.) People getting into the game now too are so overwhelmed, already feel vastly left behind and then they keep rather excluding solo/lone wolf types from much of the content or ensuring even PVP is a fuckin' slog. My recent gripe is needing a person or two for a weapon quest.

more puzzle fukkery--this time its on a completely different level--lore nerds literally reading manuscripts and sending different codes to streamers to try
smh
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postmore puzzle fukkery–this time its on a completely different level–lore nerds literally reading manuscripts and sending different codes to streamers to tryThat would be cool for some end game shit in a raid but it's some fucking forge. Give us normies something to do.
smh

Bungie is so up it's own ass they'll never get it together
I genuinely don't understand their direction or purpose or overall who is this game even for? Even this which is obviously positive for streamers most folks just gotta sit on the sidelines and wait for the new stuff? Fuck anyone who defends this tripe.
Even if you did want to do the puzzle portion it looks like you need all the weapons, an insane amount of time/knowledge and a fireteam and basically ehhh.

It's just dumb. You could have some tiered off insane shit for all the crazy lore, clan, streamer types to do and still have some content that we fucking paid for available to those of us who want to hop on and do something new. Their continued time gating and general "fuck yourself if you're solo" stuff is why I don't care about D3. Their priorities are a mess and that's not even touching the hilarious RNG grind or stupid ass economy around improving armor/weapons. Least d1 you could have some fun doing some stuff solo. D2 is just an exercise in sadomasochism.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthis is content
lmao
And instead of that just being to get some obscure ass thing for the collection bros it's to get at new content we paid for already.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwtf is this?
lmao
