*** The Official Destiny Thread (now includes 2.0 and TTK) ***

I think I must have deleted my Pocket Infinity as I can't find it... Have definitely done it in the past and have the grimoire :s

Fusion rifles are going to be pretty decent again once the shotgun range is brought back to sensible levels. Praetorian Foil has a crazy OHK range, obviously you got to deal with the charge time....I use mine on close-range maps now instead of sniper just to get a bit of practice in.

I was trying it out on some PVE while doing the PoE quest line on my titan and the damage overall is just so slow, I have the Exile one from trials which I've been told has really good impact but it was doing maybe 2k damage, compared to any high impact shotgun where I typically do around 10k damage.

The buff allowing headshots should help but its still far behind for me, the range is not too great, damage is below snipers and shotguns, it has a charge time. It look awesome though.
 
The Exile fusion is in the low impact fusion archetype. It is pretty "meh" overall as fusions go.

Fusions definitely feel weak compared to shotguns though there is no question about that.

The positive though can be range. With acc. coils and high impact type you can keep tanky targets outside stomping range and still deal some good damage. Plus you can hit multiple targets. Close range though shotties are unbeatable.
 
I've tried a few and at range they just fall apart, I have the iron banner one with range finder so I'm leveling that up next too try. Honestly at most distances I would rather use a primary, shotgun or sniper.

This is pretty much why no one uses the queensbraker bow. The bow either needs an instant charge time or to spray 4-5 shots all in a tight cone at the target. why anyone would use it as is over say patience and time is beyond me. It has no advantage over it, only disadvantages. It needs to be tweaked big time. The fact it takes up an exotic slot is laughable the gun is terrible.

Fusions as they stand all need buffing. They are supposed to be the middle ground between shotguns and snipers. So they should have damage drop off further away, but a closer spread. So you cannot snipe with them as the damage is too weak at sniper range but you can still 1 hit kill at mid range if you hit them with most of the spread (much like a shotgun at close range). To counter spamming would be the long charge times meaning they wouldn't replace shotguns up close.

I believe the whole of destiny is a beta. They are testing stuff out they have got more right than wrong but still have a lot of wrongs to right.

Destiny 2 will be where it really comes into it's own they should have all guns balanced by then and know what is game breaking (final round, DOT, etc).

I don't know what they were thinking releasing the BTRD; high impact, range, stability and rate of fire with 40-50 clip size? It's pretty easy to rack up kills using one unless you run into rockets. Which seems to be the go to heavy now. No point in using machine guns if the other team is using rockets.

You get pretty much guaranteed 4+ kills with a decent proximity launcher and you aim into hot spots or choke points and then jump out the way as soon as you fire. if 4-6 people on your team get heavy that is 16-24 rockets. All of which can kill multiple people instantly if you run into groups.

This is the reason why a lot of the time I'd rather miss heavy and deny the other team's heavy using my super than pick up heavy. Heavy is far too OP in crucible you just get smashed if you don't have any.

They need a lot more game modes or custom game modes. Switch off heavy and I believe the game would be better. You already have supers so there is no point having both supers and heavy it's ridiculous.

Heavy should taken out of trials too. I'ts not competitive at all.
 
I've come round to the idea that there's no point picking up your own heavy in Trials. It's much more advantageous to rush the opposing team to take them out while they're all crowded round their heavy. Sometimes this fails, especially if the opposing team has the same idea, but I'm pretty sure it's successful more often than not.
 
I would love to see a gamemode with no super and no heavy. In fact I'd love to see trials have no supers and no heavy.

If you just go for your own heavy, and let the opposition get theirs, you basically turn the round into a 50:50 roll of the dice. We usually have someone save a super and go after the oppo while the other two grab the heavy. Letting them get it uncontested is a no-no tbh.
 
It's so stupid as what happens in the game is (heavy incoming) everyone stops fighting and goes and camps heavy spawn because it's so powerful.

If you didn't stop fighting you end up with no heavy as it gets pulled straight as it spawns and get smashed by opposition heavy 3-4 times in a row unless oppositions heavy got denied or you run and hide for 2 minutes.

In normal crucible if I have a super I'll push heavy. In trials we send 1 player with a super to oppositions heavy.

I would never ever let a team have a free run at heavy. You have to watch though as high skillers know this and they will try and pick off anyone that pushes them.

In private matches they set their own custom rules, no thorn (or 1 thorn per team), no heavy (they just leave the boxes don't bother opening them) and no final round snipers. It makes the game much more skill based and special ammo is treated much like heavy where it's pulled straight away and you try and deny the other team their special ammo.

Much better game if you could set up a custom crucible game mode like that.
 
I tend to play 3 vs 3 game modes a lot more these days, I always always rush heavy but I make sure to keep ours clear, the other 2 guys are normally meh at best in my team so I let them get heavy while I clear the other teams heavy.

In ToO I've found its best too just push heavy, there is so much luck that even if the other team is horrible they can get a win which just prolongs the game. I got 2 kills out of 7 games last night which was nice.

And sweet jesus we need custom matches, I don't get why we don't have this yet, it better come in taken king, its stupid not having a private match, and they have had more then enough time at this point.

Oh, is that right Moe? Then how come the random righteous number generator awarded me with 2 great armour pieces yesterday during Trials? I thought we established this was because my kills were the most important.
 
Lol I meant when I solo Crucible, like I was playing some elimination last night, highlight is one match where I got 15+ kills, another guy got 2 and last guy got 1 and they decided to tea bag the other players.

Can't speak ill of the righteous number generator, it has given me many an item, while giving Corey nothing. Got too get those MVP kills.
 
I suppose there's always that Solar Jewel of Osiris he got from the chest =( I really want that! Hopefully we can get back again on the weekend, maybe your blessings on the chest will bring me it this time.

Righteous number generator rewarded me for getting the most important kills, even if I wasn't firs, but honestly I've had over 30 cloaks, and only 1 butt towel.

Righteous number generator showed him mercy and gifted it too him, throw the games next week for better osiris gifts.
 
Having not played this game since the end of May.. I'm pretty happy I haven't!

Etheric light is going and Levelling is now going to be completely different.. interesting!

Has to be said.. whilst I poured hours into the game and I've now stopped playing.. I am actually kind of enjoying still keeping up with developments in the game.

I'm away when TTK drops.. but will probably be watching a raid or two via twitch on a beach in Greece lol

You have missed out on some of the crazy new exotics then.

Jumpy jumpy boots for the hunter and the invincible sheep helmet for the warlock.

Destiny 1 has been basically a huge beta test and they are finally understanding what works and what doesn't.

I have figured out I really like the destiny mechanics/engine but I find the grind is far too much. I may switch to XB1 and Halo 5 (dedicated servers and practically the same engine).
