Shield Brothers with no burn and a couple of the modifiers make it look hard. I don't know if its actually hard cause I haven't run it yet.

One of the modifiers is no shield recovery so have a piece of gear that replenishes shields with orbs. Anx have a nice weapon that generates them like telesto. And supers are nice too. Hammer bros ate nice for boss because those packs of adds you need to clear. But other than that its streight forward. There isnt too many shielded mobs there.

Reeeeallyyy interesting info on the accuracy, target acquisition, range stat and aim assist on this podcast from this interview with Bungie Sandbox Designer Jon Weisnewski. He explains for about 8mins or so. Very worth the listen if you are into crucible. Video starts at where the question is asked.

Balance guns in pvp? hahaha. O Bungie you are so silly.

On a serious note fire all these motherfucks. The pvp has been broken for a year now, and they continually make it worse.

There is no balance and thats what makes it fun. You want balance go play quake or halo or some shit.

They're balancing it. TTK between weapons is the biggest issue. Two round pulse rifles are a bit much. Otherwise it's not that bad unless you run into some god-mode sniper.

Surely you jest...

Shotguns are still as powerful as they ever were, Shotgun sniping? check, Blink still makes you immune to everything including nades? check, Auto Rifles are still trash, and fusion rifles are not even an option? check

Not to mention Xur selling a weapon that is 100% luck based week 2 which the whole Destiny community picked up. A weapon that will outgun any other weapon based on luck, and not skill.

That is just this month, I will not even bother to name all the retarded changes they have played out for the last year...

The most balance we had was beta imo. Fusion rifles took some skill but were unable to snipe you across the map like at release, shotguns were outgunned by auto rifles, Snipers were still viable in skilled hands with no perks like Final Round, Handguns were decent but not God mode because of Thorn/Last Word. Rockets didn't have horse shoe and grenades, etc etc.

Their balancing is a joke since then, they keep breaking the game more, and more.

There is no balance and thats what makes it fun. You want balance go play quake or halo or some shit.
Based on your posts in this thread you are a self imposed casual so I'll forgive that statement, but when you actually pvp more then getting your bounties done every week I'll let your review that again.

PVP needs a lot of work. It needs a complete weapons overhaul that doesn't effect pve, It 100% needs shotguns looked at again. They need to put in a Ladder system with awards, and custom matches that we don't have to trick the current game into competing against other clans.

Trials of Osaris was a good start, but a good bit of us hit the lighthouse 3 times a week easily. The only sweaty games we can even enjoy is loading up two teams and using a flaw in matchmaking to allow us to compete against other good players with our own rule sets.

How many times does the leaders of the pvp community like TripleWreck etc have to ask before you throw us a bone, Bungie??.

O right you are too busy selling people emotes..

PvP needs dedicated servers (current P2P state is a fucking joke, and god knows those magical people who suddenly develop red connection then goes on a killing spree since they somehow dont take damage anymore *cough *lag-switch*cough* need to be monitored and kicked out of games) and a "super free" mode to be remotly intresting.

On the other hand, I dont play this game for PvP since I prefer PvP to be based on you and me having the same gear/items/weapons and let our skill decide, not "haha I have raidgear and superweapons, you die!" balance.

Not to mention the game gives precedence to the person with the bad connection... what a smart idea.

First part of sleeper quest unlocked today. Dead ends eventually. I just want the whole quest to be unlocked so I can stop seeing crackpot theories.

Any tips on how to do the last strike for the exotic sword? Unlocked it this morning. I'm a 297 light level warlock. Have not gotten to the end yet because people keep dropping out at the bridge. Fuck enemies that are resistant to primary gun ammo.

don't try to matchmake the exotic sword strike, find a group on destinyLFG/etc that is doing the same element you are. while you can do 2 or 3 elements in a single strike its way, way easier just doing one and having voice comms so people know exactly what to do.

So the sword trick thing does work for all 3. I got all 3 swords put them on one character and leveled them up, did the PvP thing, did the killing yellow knight thing with sword and all 3 quests popped for the next step. Thank god I dont have to do all 3 with the PvP and the knight step.

Sword was easy but the last step was made super fun by us doing arc and solar at same time - many laughs ahead! Finished the void earlier and i cant tell which i like more.

Super High Impact sniper from last weeks orders with luck in the chamber. Bungie will you ever learn, btw that kills with one body shot. /facepalm

At least I got mine for trials since it's essentially the new final round.
