Bungie's Destiny

Glad you liked it. It really isn't a bad raid at all. It's not my favorite but it isn't bad at all. Prestige at your level won't be hard as far as adds goes. Just different mechanics.

I wasn't sure where the Telesto catalyst dropped. Nor do I really care I suppose lol. I hate that weapon in PvP. I look at it as one step above the Colony. It just takes very little skill to use. It was never designed to map people since it's not a linear fusion rifle but it will. I might get killed by it once in a match but once I see that person using it I will abuse them from that point on. 90% of those that use it in PvP are using it as a crutch IMO. A very low skill weapon that is capable of getting kills against players that don't know how to counter it. I'm of the opinion that it should be moved to the heavy slot since it was never intended to map people. In D1 you had to be within fusion rifle range for it to be effective and that was fine. It took a little bit of skill to use it that way as it put you in a position of "do I want to try this and take a chance of maybe getting killed before the bolts go off?" I hope Bungie patches it back to the way it was intended to be used. You barely have to aim the Telesto to get a kill which makes it a very low skill weapon to me.
I remember when the Colony came out and everyone started using it. It's a stupid weapon and should be completely removed from PvP IMO. Any weapon that you don't even have to aim to get a kill is just stupid in PvP. When I hear the Colony go off I just stay up in the air as it's easy to counter. Those that use it usually just spam fire all four shots and then I'll just kill them after they run out of ammo. We've got one guy in the clan that only uses the Colony and we fuck with him relentlessly because of it. He was never great at PvP so now he tries to get all his kills with it. When he runs with us we wait until heavy ammo comes up and just try to push him out of the way and steal it from him lol. So he has to actually try to play the game and use some skill and map awareness to get some kills instead of just spam firing it.
All that said... I use the Masterworked WC and it will almost always net you 4 kills per heavy ammo drop. The thing about the WC is once it is masterworked it will track further but it takes a certain amount of skill to use properly. It is damn easy to kill yourself with it and you pretty much have to be in the air when you fire it to get the most out of it so that makes you an easier target. So you really have to time your shots to be effective. The only other heavy weapon I personally use in PvP is an Edge Transit with sticky grenades. Fire it where you think the other players will be and once they walk over it, it will detonate. But that takes map awareness and trying to judge where you think your opponent will be coming from. If you choose wrong then they are wasted shots. But placed correctly, it's great for shutting down lanes or control points.

 

Telesto should stay where it is. I will admit I'm not good pvp but it's certainly not a crutch. If it's so great why is it not on the top of the weapons being used? I get tons of kills with it not by hitting walls but by plastering 5 beeds on you. When I need to get arc kills i have switched to main ingrediant and gotten the same results. If my fusion doesnt connect with enough shots my bygones will finish the job.
It doesnt matter anyeay because I read somewhere its getting nerfed. As far as I'm concerned the people that want it nerfed will just start crying about some other weapon being op, and if bungie keeps listening everyone will be using the same stuff.
Besides matchmaking being awfully I enjoy pvp now, where as when everyone was using midas it was boring to me. Now there's bows, hand cannons, shot guns, pulses, side arms, sub machineguns, some autos even still. I've seen people use lots of different heavys as well and with thunderlord and machine guns coming back it should only get better.
Instead of nerfing teslesto they should buff all fusion rifles. If telesto goes to the heavy slot the gun is completely ruined. It's good as it is and it also uses up your exotic slot taking away some of the current best pvp guns.

 

I don't disagree with your points. My only issue with the Telesto is it was never intended to shoot as a linear fusion rifle. You bring up the Main Ingredient and that is a weapon that takes skill to use because you have to be within a relatively close range to use it (it's a damn good weapon btw). So it makes you think before you actually fire that weapon because if you don't precharge it you might not get the shot off before someone burns you down. Not so with the Telesto. When you can stand on one side of Equinox, for example, and map someone from across the map... it was never intended to do that. That's why I call it a crutch weapon in its current state. So I'm not calling for a nerf to Telesto, I'm just asking for it to go back to how it was intended to be used... as a fusion rifle not a linear fusion rifle (which it is not). If they are going to leave it in the state it's in right now then my personal opinion is it should be moved to the heavy slot and treat it like any other linear fusion rifle such as the Sleeper, Crooked Fang, Tarantula, Queenbreakers Bow, etc... since those ARE linear fusion rifles that are intended to map people.

That said... I completely agree with you about weapon nerfs. I'm not for nerfing ANY weapon (with the exception of the Colony) since I think PvP is in the best spot it's been in, in a very long time. I look at people that use the Colony as just being lazy and trying to get kills without having to actually do anything that requires any skill whatsoever. I personally don't have an issue avoiding the Colony users since I can just avoid the spiders. I don't think the Colony should be nerfed at all. I'm just of the opinion that it should be completely removed from PvP. It's truly a no skill weapon and you can call me an elitist if you like but when I see someone using it... I just look at them as being lazy and using a crutch weapon. Then I'll go after that person the entire match just to see what their skill level is.

Other than those two weapons I've no issue with any weapon in PvP. I love the diversity in PvP now. I personally don't use a bow but they are certainly a good weapon in the right hands. They are great for pushing you out of an engagement. If I get hit by one I certainly won't double peek on one lol. I'll be dead most likely if I do. But bows take skill to use effectively so I think they are great and those that do and are able to use them effectively I respect them because you have to be pretty good with them and you have to commit to your shots while putting yourself out there while taking fire.

 

Oh... and I agree with you on machine guns coming back. I don't use the Thunderlord in PvP and very rarely do I get killed by one. But they are a viable option if you want to take up that exotic slot. I look forward to The Black Armory since I think there will be an influx of machine guns and it wouldn't surprise me that they will be a necessity in the next raid or raid lair (whatever they decide to call it). Much like TTK, you had to use a machine gun so I'm happy to see them coming back.

 

There are better bows if you get a good roll. I do like that bow pve though, lots of fun!

 

That was the very first Forsaken exotic that I got. I used it for one day and have never used it again. It's a good bow but there are just better weapons out there and it isn't worth it to me to take up an exotic slot.

 

Also my first forsaken exotic. Pretty much same story from me. Used it a day or two then into the vault.

 

For those that haven't finished the Daily Heroic Adventures for this week here is the fastest one to run through. I hate doing the three Heroic Adventures but this one is extremely easy and fast. 10 mins and you could probably cut that time down by a min or so.

 

Found this video to piss off people not getting exotic drops . Watch till the end!

 

Goddamn man that's for me. The only exotic drops I've gotten in the last week have been 2 Coldhearts and a Lucky Raspberry. Since the drop of Forsaken I think I've gotten at least 8-9 Coldhearts with most of those being after the patch that was suppose to weigh the exotics you've already gotten. I realize that it's all RNG based and I understand that Bungie wants it to feel special when you get an exotic but they have dialed it down so much that when I do get an exotic and it's another Coldheart I just get pissed lol. I've been chasing the Queenbreaker Bow forever and everyone that I run with has gotten it to drop but I can't get the motherfucker to drop. I've only gotten 3 Forsaken exotics to drop since launch and that is a little much even for me to take considering the amount of time I've put into Forsaken.

 

Not a problem brother. Anytime

 

Yeah... but I play on average 8 hours a day 7 days a week so it would make sense that I’ve gotten a few more exotics. Thing is... Bungie’s system that is supposed to keep you from getting duplicate exotics isn’t working very well.

 

I got the heart of Inmost light for my titan and the dragons shadow for my hunter yesterday. Pretty much all in crucibal. Hopefully my luck doesnt run out! Have not tried the titan armor but should be good. The hunter ones are good pvp.

 

Also, I was playing competitive with a buddy last night. He's trying to finish the quest for the lunas. If he's not done by reset will it reset? He's on the play different types of crucible now.
We faced a stack with at least 2 using tolesto. We smoked them and after I got hate mail? He didn't say why but i had to laugh. I was pasting them with mine and they were just spraying the floor and walls with theirs. I can see why that's annoying but it's easy to beat.

 

Honestly the Dragon's Shadow isn't a very good exotic. All it does is reloads all your weapons when you dodge and gives you a slight speed buff. There are much better exotics out there for the hunter. That exotic should almost be a legendary since it's perks really aren't that great. I did get the Gwisin Vest the other day and when they fix the hit detection for Spectral Blades it will become a top tier exotic since every time you vanish you regain super energy which means you can keep your super up for a very long period of time all while being able to see through walls. I love running Spectral Blades because if you are crouched and get a presion headshot it makes you invisible and allows you to see through walls for 10 secs. The issue is the hit detection for Spectral Blades. I've been aimed at an opponent and tried to lung at him only to have my character lunge into the wall in a completely opposite direction. So Spectral Blades are hit or miss right now as a super.

If he is finished with all his hand cannon kills and each part of the quest and all he is working on right now is getting to Fabled... He has until reset on Tues. to reach Fabled. If he doesn't reach Fabled by Tues. then he won't lose any part of the completed quest steps but his rank will be completely wiped out and he will have to start over with climbing the rank ladder again.

I get hate mail from time to time. In fact I look forward to hate mail. I've got one saved on my phone but I'm not sure that the forum would want me to post it lol. It was pretty fucking bad. This dude was fucking livid that we beat the shit out of them in Comp and just kept on and on sending me hate mail. So I waited until he was in another match then just sent him smiley faces throughout the entire match he was in so it would cover up his radar the entire match. I'm a dick lol.

 

I'm almost at reset again for Gambit but unless I can get a team that wants to play... I doubt I'll do it. I'm at a slight disadvantage since I can't get the Goddamn Queenbreaker so I've had to change my invasion tactics until I can get it. I'm glad that they put in Pinnacle weapons in Gambit, Vanguard, and Crucible for next season. I'm not sure how good the Auto Rifle is going to be but we'll see? One thing that I won't be chasing in Crucible is the primary Grenade Launcher. I wouldn't give up my Broadsword for that spot. I'm still going to go after Luna's Howl but I'm almost at the step of just leveling up my ranks. The issue is... I'll have to wait a few weeks since all the ranks will reset in Comp and I'll be going against others that have the Luna's (or worse The Not Forgotten) so I'll be at a severe disadvantage. So I'll wait until those guys get back up in rank since they will most likely be chasing the Grenade Launcher. Then I'll be facing regular Hand Cannons.

 

I will be going for the vanguard fusion first. Then the gambit auto rifle. I've got a hazard of the cast with ambitious assassin and rampage that I masterworked that I think should be good in gambit.

 

I've got a God Roll Hazard of the Cast but I just don't use Auto Rifles. The Vanguard Fusion Rifle looks interesting "only" if the explosion is larger than firefly / dragonfly.
