    There's nothing quite like rushing eagerly back to the Tower to decrypt yet another Fighting Lion.
    You can't even infuse it into anything worthwhile.

    I think the only weapons I'm missing now are Coldheart, Skyburner's Oath, and the raid shotgun.

    Bungie certainly have an algorithm for restricting the exotics I really want. No Bungie, I don't want 10 pairs of Transversive steps. How about just one Crown of Tempests?? Please???

    Annoyingly, too much weighting towards duplicates was another issue from D1 that they "fixed" and brought back for D2.

    Rollercoaster of emotions. Punching the air when you finally get what you want.

    Bought the sweet business from Xur and felt cheated, didn't last long, decrypted 2 more the following week :)

    this could be the first mention of ps4 exclusive stuff coming with the new DLC,

    ---
    Everyeye.it : In addition to the new maps, what changes will come to Destiny 2 PVP? Will we have new modes and playlists?

    Dave Matthews (bungie) : "The expansion will contain three new maps , two available for everyone, and one for PS4 users.

    coming from Wolfenstein, playing the titan in pvp and he feels soooooooslow

    Did the three call to arms milestones yesterday where my kdr proportionally dropped in direct correlation with alcohol consumed. Early on with the Walock (aka the second best character) I went to town with the IB fusion. Killed an enemy off a point he just captured and a 10 kill-streak, went to recapture, two team mates jumped on (???), so I put down a rift and left to guard a door. Just as we had it a striker activated, burst in the door I was "guarding". I can only imagine his disappointment. Hours later I started feeling real bad for the guy.

    Congrats to the lads making it flawless for the first time.

    I can only imagine 3 of the guardians were turned deaf by the 4th when that last opponent fell. :D

    I'm not jealous at all of your success. I'm perfectly happy with my 4 and 3 card.

    I think my moral support in the party chat was the difference maker :P

    Noise levels went pretty high when Generic (?) got a triple nova to win the last game! Chimp's nova tips and tricks obviously paid off

    I got the pulse rifle from the engram. Seems decent enough.

    I might get on around 10 or so. Monday is always a less likely night for me.

    Loads of weapons:
    Prosecutor Auto!!!
    Sidearm.
    Sniper.

    Armour - not a great selection:
    2 x Warlock Bonds.
    1 x Flawless Bond.

    I already have the Warlock helmet and Chest, so was hoping for something other than 3 Bonds :pac:

    I have to say I find the Prosecutor very meh I have a blue i'd rather use, be pulling out the prosecutor though if they ever bring light level back into pvp

    I haven't changed from Mida and Uriels Gift in ages. I couldn't buy a kill with any other guns. I'll give Prosecutor a go and see how it goes, but I don't see me un-equipping Uriels for long.

    Don't have a uriels yet so I don't know what that's like, unfortunately my blue is a primary so I cant run the mida with it

    Any 450 Auto will do the job really.


    Made my titan over the weekend, really noticed the drop off in PvP whilst playing with no armor mods to reduce recoil. Also got my first trials run in on it last night, the nades are completely ridiculous, easy mode.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 24,164 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    For my primary I mostly use the Ghost Primus, and then for secondary I'll change between Hard Light and Prosecutor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    Those pulse grenades are crazy... Especially given how weak all the other grenades are.

    Also the Warlock melee and Axion bolts are so weak now, you can't really use either of those.
    Warlock has a 3 melee kill.
    Axion bolt just tickles and the initial explosion doesn't cause any damage, so if you hit the guy with a grenade - he won't take damage and no Axion bolt...

    I haven't tried the shatter grenade in a while but the last time I did I unequipped it after feeling it was pretty poor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,470 ✭✭✭SolvableKnave


    I used the Prosecutor in the raid the other night. With no Energy weapon handling mods on my armour, it handled beautifully. Little to no recoil, really smooth. Haven't tried it in PvP, but without HCR, I can't see me using it too often.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 24,164 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Oh yeah, pulse grenades are so strong in the game. When I was playing as a Titan in Nightfall, when one of the modifiers was increased recharge of abilities it was crazy using nades. Myself and the other two players were just constantly hurling grenades, the damage output with pulse ones makes it sort of a breeze to beat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    I can sense an incoming nerf for HCR, Pulse grenades and possibly even autos range - to bring the other guns into play.


  • Posts: 12,836 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Saw a test of HCR on youtube and it looked as if they made very very little difference..

    Rather see buffs than nerfs tbh, though I could live with just removing HCR altogether as its just a nuisance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,546 ✭✭✭jcd5971


    I run with a hrof smg with two counter balance mods on primary and uriels for secondary. Find it to be a very good combination.

    Also 2 pulses is op as ****


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,428 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    anytime I'm getting shot by Uriels it just feels like I'm convulsing. I couldn't hit a barn door once I get hit first.

    HCR only works if you're hitting headshots (my crit accuracy with Uriels isn't great TBH).

    Again, I'd rather see buffs too. I like the way auto's work now. I feel like I haven't really used an auto since D1 launch.
