I'm not bothered if there are better choices out there. I have had a lot of fun running Pest Control in regular crucible so Summoner will be even better, especially when they re-buff AR's somewhat.

I am even less bothered about what "pro" players do..

I use my original Vanquisher for everything, ever since I ascended it to 365 I've used it almost exclusively on my Titan. In PVP though, especially trails, they aren't really that cracking at the moment

though I have good fun using my summoner in control etc.

Even on 35 PoE, they really aren't as bad as everyone makes out and they are getting some damage increases in the weapon update coming soon so that will be awesome!

Ran Crota earlier for flawless raider and managed it in the end. A few stupid deaths, the funniest being this one

This is what happens when you are jumping the bridge and hit R2 not R1

All this stuff about only high impact weapons being usable in crucible is such a load of toss. Just looking at the stats, you're talking a difference on TtK of a tenth of a second difference between low and high impact archetypes for pulse rifles, assuming every player is landing 100% crits. The major difference in that case is player reactions and who has their sights set.

Praedyths Revenge, impact = 4. Been murdering people using Messenger, it's so slow in comparison, if they miss they got not chance against the ROF of PT.

Was a good laugh doing the flawless run last night, and great that I've finally got the platinum trophy to boot as well

I've got a couple of NFs still to do, we could burn through quickly before/in between some pvp-age

sorry I had to drop out after 3-4 attempts. my new hard drive had arrived and I wanted to get everything installed by today.

managed to download and install over 400GB of games overnight.

having 1.47 TB free now means i no longer need to delete games and can just keep everything on the console.

No problem mate, we tried one run as 5 which led to that video of Matthew suiciding from the bridge. However we got a request froma sixth during that run and after a couple more failed attempts due to people falling off the edge we got through the rest of it on the first attempt.

Out of interest what drive did you upgrade to? You have probably mentioned it somewhere else but cba to search your posts

Interesting game! Crucible is really polarising since trials....you've got two camps, people that are geared up to the max, skilled trials players, and everyone else.

Note both myself and the death machine were rocking legendary pulse rifles, PR and 55A.

2TB 7200RPM 3.5" Hybrid Drive from seagate.

it's the desktop version which uses a 7200rpm drive.

the laptop version us a 2.5" drive which uses a 5400rpm drive which fits in the ps4 natively.

i had to order a nyko data bank from usa rainforest in order to get the nyko data bank.

cost me about £100 for both the drive and data bank.

so i have a 8gb ssd cache and a 2TB 7200rpm drive all in one best of both worlds.

the largest drive a ps4 can handle natively is a 2TB until they release a firmware update. i was going to get a 4Tb WD black drive until i found that out.

I dint know there was a 2 TB limit. So thats good to know.

I don't game as much as I would like and even I ran out of space a few times already. Might have spare cash this month for my upgrade

Seeing as the PS4 guys are doing it, anyone up for an X1 Crucible session tonight?

Last night was good fun - 9 games of Clash: won the first 8 then whipped on the last game (nothing to do with g0rd leaving of course...)

I'll join the party for the banter, but probably going to remain on The Witcher... dirty casual I know!
