Randomly got messaged while roaming on Mars to do EP

Ended up clearing it twice with a group of 9 with me being 355 power

Lot of fun with 9 players...sadly didn't get any weapons but was able to get legs and class item

If any Resetters want to run a couple EP's this weekend PM me!

So we're back to hunters being OP? Even when we have the lowest recovery and resilience from the 3 classes and we have to put a freaking worm head as a helmet to be on par with Titans and Warlocks?

Well, while I do enjoy my Hard Light, I'm leaning towards having a secondary of each element with me at all times.

I've got some great ones I love. Skyburner's Oath, Graviton Lance, and Sunshot. It really seems like the exotic secondaries are better than the exotic primaries.

They were lagging behind before. They have good neutral game but with low recovery and hp they were outclassed by the other 2. After the armor masterwork and go fast updates they brought them up, specially the arcstrider subclass. And now with the wormhusk crown I'm seeing complains about how they are broken and are asking for
fusion rifles
nerf.

Before Go Fast, Nightstalker was OP (to the point of people complaining of facing stacked teams of 4 NS in trials). After Go Fast, Arcstrider became the new OP.

Hunters have always been awesome and always will be. bungie can't stop us :-)

20+ escalation protocol boss kills today, and nothing but shaders

If it makes you feel any better across the last 4 weeks it took me 81 clears to get all weapons. 8 first week with nothing to show, 14 for SMG, 27 for Sniper. 32 this week (mainly using the death at 0, repeat 6-7 wave abuse) to finally get the shotgun. Find a group doing the Nova bombs/rockets at 2 seconds strat. And you can do 5-6 boss kills in the time it usually takes a normal EP run.

Wormhusk Crown is only good cause TTK is abysmally slow

To be fair given that matchmaking is a hybrid P2P. And low tick rate. You'd end up having deaths constantly before even getting around a corner. Or deaths seconds later while running away from shots before your game registered them etc.

I mean that already happens, but it would be abysmal with their current net setup if TTK were reduced too much.

I haven't done the Rat King Quest yet on PC, what's the steps these days for it? 3 Patrols, 2 Public Events, and 2 Crucible Matches followed by a special Arms Dealer strike? All with one other Guardian in your Fireteam, right?

So after completing weekly milestones, should I just do the Nightfall again to increase PL if I can't raid? Don't you get 1 drop at or above PL besides the milestone for it?

From the Normal Nightfall you get a random Powerful Reward drop as soon as you kill the boss and then you get two Powerful Reward drops from the Nightfall Engram that Zavala gives you. You can also run a Prestige Nightfall and get a Powerful Engram upon completion but it only rewards you with one item. You only get rewards one time each from doing the Normal and Prestige Nightfalls per week.

EP was a bitch today. Made it to 28 wins, no smg or shotty. Invited a friend of mine in to get the win for the week since we were essentially 6-manning it and he got both. Cmon Bungie. I already gave you my soul for a table flip emote, which I never got...what more do you want?

Second day in a row, I got messaged by several random players, asking me to help them in EP. Instead, I offered to give them my host and leave.

I'm stuck at 35 Sleeper Nodes. I keep getting repeats. Shit is beyond stupid.

So if you run the normal repeatedly you'll just get the 1 random Powerful Engram after killing the boss then?

Trying to see if my time is better spent running Heroic Strikes with the 25% chance of getting powerful gear up to 360/365 or instead trying to keep running Nightfall if I can group up accordingly.

Edit:. Just re-read your reply. I'm dumb. Only 1 Powerful Reward for Normal Nightfall per week

The NetEase partnership gives me even more reason to believe that Bungie plans on selling the rights to Destiny to Activsion at some point. I've had this thought for many months, even more so ever since Warmind came out. I just get the impression that Bungie wants out, and wants to work on something else.

Destiny is too stressful and far too ambitious. A mobile game or BR game of some kind will probably be a lot easier to develop and support. I can definitely see Vicarious Visions taking over core development, while at most, Bungie merely acts as a distant consultant, going forward.

Or maybe they'll be a multi IP studio, but they clearly have issues managing just one, despite their size and capacity.

Absolutely. It's fucking wretched. It's their call if they want to keep wasting resources on it, but I wish they'd quit trying to force people into it. Every quest that suddenly requires you to suffer through a bunch of crucible matches should have been nuked in development. Even finishing the five matches for the weekly milestone on one character is usually more than I can tolerate.

PVP should be treated like the sideshow it is and not a focus of development moving forward.

Heroic Strikes are so incredibly awful and the Hive Worm God boss might honestly be the least fun I've ever had playing any strike boss in the history of Destiny.

I still enjoy it, plus it's not exactly the focus is it. there are like 7 weekly milestones and only one is PVP.

What makes you say that? I don't play Crucible beyond what is required for Call To Arms, but I usually have a pretty good time when I do. Of course I understand that at higher levels of play, the experience is probably very different.

Because Destiny PvP will never be balanced.

Yeah that's basically what I do, not a pro but I have a positive K/D other then Iron banner and mayhem I don't touch PVP and trials is to much effort. It's a casual playground that isn't meant to be taken seriously. it still gets 500k a day player according to destiny tracker so I wouldn't call it a slouch either.

What game with many disparate classes, weapons, loadouts, and gear setups is really balanced?

Striving towards balance is what ruined the Crucible in the first place. I honestly hope Bungie can give up on the idea of a forever-balanced PVP setup, and just keep adjusting the meta throughout the game' s life. If people want a homogenized experience, they can go play the half-dozen other shooters that provide it. It feels like they have been working against people that want their gear to give them an advantage, but that's kinda the whole point of playing a game centered around loot and gear.

Myself and another clan member ran the Nightfall as the final step for the Rat King on PC (I was totally expecting to have to run the Arms Dealer special strike but nope) and we used Guided Games to get a third. I doubt a lot of folks know but holy smokes it was quicker than matchmaking for an Heroic Strike or a regular PvP match. When did this happen?

You got lucky. Guided Games is generally a terrible failure.

That's my point. They should embrace the imbalance and make it fun again.

This PvP competitive shit doesn't work with a game like Destiny.
