Wow IB last night was .... *fun*

Just couldn't get in the groove at all. Pigtails was even worse as I have got used to my hunters agility that it felt like I was playing in treacle.

I also have a new hatred for juggernaut double shotgun Titans...

Hopefully tonight will prove to be more fruitful!

The worst I've seen it, the lag was horrendous, people just appearing in front of me, getting shot through walls and the best part that 335 light player taking us all out lol.

Every team we played there was at least 1 or 2 players red barring.
 
I'm 334 I think and it's not too bad taking out 360+ LL players even though their level 40 is showing red/orange for me. Just have to get as much to the head as quickly as possible.

I'm not a fan of the Crossroads map (because I suck on it), which seems to come up a lot. Much prefer the others.

There were occasional teleporting laggy players but it wasn't so bad in the rounds I played.
 
played IB for a couple of hr today, never seen so many people quit midway through matches, out of eight rounds I think only two finished with a full roster and averaged 4-5 quitting per round. strange.

If its down to people not liking Supremacy they could maybe think of changing the game mode daily.
 
Supremacy is OK - not my favourite mode - but it's not bad. Now that most people have finally cottoned on to the fact that you actually need to pick up the damn crests the games can be quite close. Would be nice to have different modes, I agree. I should get to level 5 tonight then I will go back to Control, I think.

It'll just be people with 5 medallions quitting as soon as they realise the match is lost. Tbh when it gets to that stage I just start running towards the enemy team and dancing so the round is over quicker, no point missing out on them drops and 3oC.

I'll only do that if it's a 30+ deficit and the oppo are on over 90, and we're genuinely getting humped. I've seen some decent turnarounds of 25 or so late in matches.

I really like Supremacy, it's a nice change. I'll be happy if they rotate Control and Supremacy in future. I've played all the maps to death on Control and seen it all. Supremacy totally changes the way maps play out, choke points etc. are completely different.
 
Even if we are losing I am having fun looking for stuff to try and kill. I don't think I've ever deliberately quit a game. It isn't like they drag on, most are over in around 10 minutes. Worth waiting for the drops.
 
I played archon forge followed by a few hours of iron banner today and quickly increased from LL 327 to 340!

Plus, I got approx 15 blue engrams from archon forge and when I handed them in, one decrypted into thunderlord and about 6 of them decrypted into legendaries! I've never seen so many blues turn into legendaries before and it's the first time a blue has ever turned into an exotic for me.

I like supremacy, although I think that you should be able to pick up the orbs immediately after a kill. I hate swapping kills with people only for both our orbs to be picked up by one of his team mates. I got the kill, give me the orb ffs!
 
Unbent Tree + Dreg's promise (proxy for Trespasser as I don't have it :() is hilarious fun in supremacy.

Finally got a decent roll on the UT - Counter balance & braced frame. It is now a laser pea shooter :D

A few more games and Pigtails will be rank 5. Titan will be next.
 
I got an Unbent Tree last night that I'm going to give a shot. Column 2 aren't the best perks but never mind

Send It/Braced Frame, Single Point Sling/Casket Mag, Rangefinder/Unflinching

I'm a lot more happier with the IB sniper I got:
Smallbore/Armour Piercing Rounds/Spray and Play
Appears to be a Black Spindle archetype in terms of how it fires.

I'm really not keen on destiny pvp anymore. I just feel like I can't kill anyone with any kind of primary weapon yet I get melted quickly all the time. Only one more character to get to level 5 on IB :p

I did really well on the rolls of my primaries

Got an unbent tree with Braced Frame / AP Rounds / Counter Balance
Got a Clever Dragon with Hand Laid Stock, High Caliber Rounds / Headseeker
Got a Lingering Song with Rifled Barrel, snapshot and 3rd eye / firefly

But i'm still not happy. I'd gladly trade the lot for a full auto firefly Distant Star. I love scout rifles and its what I wanted more than anything else :( I've used all 9 of my chances at weapons so I'll just have to wait for it to go on sale at the next IB and then lots of them will drop as end game rewards so should increase my chances of getting the roll I want.
 
Ive got your Distant star.... (without full auto, which i dont think adds a lot on a scout myself) it isnt much use in supremacy but im liking it in PVE so far. Will try control over the weekend and see how i get on with it.
 
TX got one but other than that I don't know anyone else who has one. (Surprisingly even Davie hasn't got it despite his RNG :p)

I really want it (keep getting killed by it) but all I got on my hunter was another AR.

Not far off rank 5 on Pigtails so might get lucky...

On a side note I infused up my Ashraven's Flight (from the last IB) and my god is it beastly. Faster charger and hidden hand just melts enemies when you get the pre-fire down around corners.
