*** Destiny Raid & PvP discussion thread ***

I think it's more complicated than that but, in general, yeah if someone has a positive overall K/D in Trials then they're doing well.

What I can't stand is people who insist you need to be this godlike player to go flawless. You're a very clear example of someone who's very average but can regularly go flawless if you've got some good teammates around you. The top 5-15% thing is nonsense.
 
Nope, just 5 games where you got more kills than deaths. There were two games where you got as many kills as deaths (1 K/D).

You're sitting on a 1.10 K/D ratio for Trials as a whole, which I'm pretty sure would put you well outside the top 5-15% you believe is needed to go flawless.

the first games we were carrying someone and i get put off my game when i'm worrying about someone so after he got kicked we were all on different cards. until we decided to run a fresh card together. (trials now puts you against tougher opponents with wins so i advise everyone be on the same card even if 1 player is on 5 wins and the other 2 are on 1 it will make it a lot harder than just starting from scratch again).

look at the flawless run stats

11: 5 kills - 5 (10 kills - 5)
12: 5 kills - 0.83 (11 kills - 3.67)
13: 7 kills - 3.5 (9 kills - 9)
14: 1 kill - 0.33 (8 kills - 8)
15: 7 kills - 1.75 (7 kills - 3.5)
16: 3 kills - 3 (7 kills - 7)
17: 4 kills - 0.67 (10 kills - 3.33)

4 games out of 7 - positive. 2 bad games and 1 just below average.

a 5 k/d, 3.5 k/d and a 3 k/d.

that was the run where we were all on the same card and we had dropped the other guy who played for the first bunch of games.

look at the flawless stats above. i had a nightmare yesterday yet i would say they are good stats for someone who hadn't played pvp in ages and are above average.

i asked the fireteam leader to go into normal crucible first but he said no we will smash it. he is very good though but he doesn't play with me because i'm average. i would say i'm in the middle of average and his skill level.
 
Heh that's what I need. A few ppl to carry me a little. I've played with ppl who have gone flawless that I consider myself to be at least on par with, but they've since stopped playing destiny. And tbh I just want to have a go for the fun of it, lighthouse or no lighthouse.
If anyone is up for some trials give me a shout h_buz on psn

Now I have both my flawless out the way I don't mind helping anybody.

What's your best pulse?

If you don't have one get villainy from dead orbit or fwc. But it depends on what you have now.

I'm blown out by todays run so I'll be on tomorrow.

Matches were so intense people are now using the sweatiest tactics I've seen by sitting in the room and nading the entrances no contesting or pushing just camping
 
it's positive though. so therefore i'm getting more kills than deaths.

therefore i'm holding my own.

if it was negative then i would be getting carried. i think that's fair?

But this changes depending on who you play with, I've done trails with a varying skill of players, if your team sucks you will suck, if you have great players on your team your allowed to perform better. You can still be carried, and I've found there is always someone(s) carrying each match, with me I've found its normally we have 1/2 people with similar kills and 1 lagging behind. Using myself as an example I got 3kills/0deaths 1 match, clearly I was carried but my KD was 3.0, compared too me going 13/9 with a KD of 1.44 where I was doing more of the carrying.

Also the match Drunzer was talking about was near impossible, the dude just didn't take damage. I mean there really isn't much too do if the person is taking 0 damage. The first match against them they where laggy but we won, we got matched again and 1 player just took no damage, snipe him nothing, Drunzer actual super'd and hit him and it still did nothing. He could always res people all over the map, we got him down a few times where the lag did drop a bit but overall its very difficult if your skill level is pretty equal and someone cheats.

But we didn't go flawless cause I've not personally played the map before and was lacking when it came too knowledge of where to snipe from. My res sniping game was off too, I've not sniped enough in 2.0 and not used too the new scope. It doesn't allow me to be aggressive enough. I didn't do my fair share, we normally have me/Corey sniping and he had too do more of the lifting this match, I missed an alarming amount of res snipes (Not really tried too res snipe since 2.0 dropped) and it costs us the game.

We have gone flawless with all are characters ever week for a long time now and I'm sure we will again soon enough.

Nice one :)

Hawksaw's my fave. Have iron banner one too. I'll be on mid afternoon tomorrow or evenings during the week.

After not being able to find a decent group on lfg to complete Oryx HM on my titan alt I at least got the The Inward Lamp Scout from trials and some 308 boots :)

Yeah I have played trials with people who were just aiming for 5 wins for the armour and my k/d takes a tanking.

I'm not a stat wore who only plays with monsters.

Today it will take a tanking most likely. But I don't care because I have been flawless twice and my stats from yesterday were a lot better than the day before simply because I ain't played pvp in ages. I imagine it's a similar story with you. You guys are probably a bit rusty.

I can't revive snipe. Tbh I've never practiced it. I'm handy with a sniper so it's something I should start to do.

We lost our mercy yesterday against a sweaty camping team. Then the next game got matched against harry4_4 he's 28th dtr for trials in the world.

Our tactic changed completely it was get Harry down then rush.

If we killed one of the others we sat back.

2nd or 3rd round I snipe Harry off the bat and it was the most exhilarating feeling ever I then watched the orb and his team mate goes for the revive and messes the jump up and boom headshot.

Proves that on your day you can beat anybody.

We lost to a team we shouldn't have then beat a guy we probably shouldn't have. Probably ruined his day. Bet you he hardly ever loses he's that good.

both of them are good. just use whichever has better stability.

did you get the conspiracy D from the quest? it's a pretty good shotgun. otherwise invective is really good as well. or run truth as your exotic if you can. truth is just so OP. the vendors sell another dry wrot archetype which wrecks up close, party crasher (year 2) is again a monster.

heavy doesn't matter as much focus on getting a decent special if you don't have one.

Yeah, I've got the quest shotgun, altho I've been trying to get better at sniping recently. Should be on in a few hours if you're about. Or tomorrow if that's better.

Just did another flawless to help my mate on his third been farming flakes all day so I'm done. Pity you weren't on earlier as we just grabbed a 3rd we have never played with before

Bummer. Family stuff got in the way today :/ good job on the flawless tho - let me know if you're up for it another time.
 
So been playing TTK as a lone wolf really, none of my friends play Destiny.

...which means I haven't had the joy of playing a raid :(

Does anyone want to do one with me this week at some point? I'm L40, a warlock with around 250 light? is that enough?

Level 40 is not applicable now, it's all about your light level and at 250 you won't be able to do the Kings fall raid sadly. You need to be at least 290 light for it to open up.

Just do all he storyline and quests, any blue engrams you get...before going to the tower to decrypt them, make sure you have your armour and weapons equipped at the highest light level. That way the chances of u getting higher light weapons and armour is much greater.

It will probably take you a few days but once u hit 290+, you can then go into the raid itself. Best place to get a raid going is 100.io, plenty of groups on there that will give u a hand or join one and create a game and just say u are new and need a hand etc.
 
I'm glad someone finally posted Psycho Sonny's stats. I've checked his profile a fair few times when he's been mouthing off (his last 19,777 posts) and in general he's **** at PvP. Would love to watch him live on a stream etc. Although it would be pretty dark if the camera view was from inside the rucksack his team were carrying him in.
