EVA Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I ran the new dungeon last night with a couple of friends and really enjoyed it. Seemed easier than any of the other dungeons so far. We figured everything out without a guide and didn’t wipe in either of the boss encounters. The only time we really went on tilt and I thought we might give up was during the sparrow section in the middle. That was brutal, as it combined my two least favorite things in video games: driving and timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - my quick trips around the internet seems to agree with this, that that was the section that held people up the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are part of the 30th anniversary Fallout becomes legit emotional when it gets dropped in the 30th anniversary trailer (granted he got his start on the Halo competitive scene so it makes sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) It's the Magnum handgun, brah. I grew up with that shit.. Damn.. Listen to that familiar click when he chambers a round. The game that Fallout is spacing on is probably Halo: ODST. It looks like Helljumper Ranger armor. Fuck this game. I hate everything in the entire world except for my kid right now.

RIPPA Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 I know what will exactly happen if you decided to play over Xmas You will load up, have to play like 4 different required introductory missions and be in a rage before even stepping foot back in the Tower.

Eivion Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 As much as I kind of want to JT come back that feels pretty accurate. I haven't been playing much yet so I haven't gotten my Forerunner. Hoping to pick it up today. Still kind of deciding on when I will get anything beyond the free shit. I did get the legendary trace rifle last night so that will be fun using today.

Yeah. I thought about that and have decided to save myself from myself. I also would've punched a hole through my television set the first time I saw Crow.

J.T. Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) The time to come back would be now so that I can get my hands on the Halo guns, but I cannot because I know I will hate myself as soon as I see Crow. Playing through Witch Queen without my Spartan arsenal will just make me feel bad, and I have no idea how much time is left for me to get up to speed to the point where I would be able to acquire the Spartan guns.

Literally you would have to do one story mission (possibly two) and one of them would be the new free 6 man activity where 85% of the Halo weapons are coming from. (The rest come from the new Dungeon that you also get Gally from). I am assuming the weapons that are coming from the activity will be added to the world pool at the end of the season but they also could vault fucking everything.

Three months seems like a lot of time but it's really not, especially given the exercise schedule I've got to deal with after the first of the year. It will also take probably a billion hours to install all of that crap and I can probably kiss progress on my Pile of Shame goodbye. I've got GoTG and Xuan Yuan 7 on deck after I finish GreedFall. Seeing Uldren / Crow still alive will send me into fits of rage and then there's all of the back lore I won't unlock. I will probably stay retired and save myself from having to buy another television set after I smash this one following the first hour of gaming. Edited December 13, 2021 by J.T.

RIPPA Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 If you wanna example of why Destiny is planning on overhauling Trials again (well just powers in PvP in general) - just watch the final round in this match Aztec played (I mean even the title of the video is bragging about the strategy) No one moving because each team has a super and the other team just letting them take a free tiebreak cap. Also always deeply entertaining to me when streamers complain about the other team being too sweaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Lots of good advice in that chatter like don't be intimidated by Titan barriers and not peeking until your super is up. So. the Forerunner sidearm has become the best scout rifle in the game. Bungie could not balance weapon archetypes if their lives depended on it. Edited December 20, 2021 by J.T.

RIPPA Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Forerunner is actually a Sidearm... that acts closer to a scout Dead Man's Tale (the DMT referenced in the video) is still the best scout rifle in the game. That was the Exotic from doing the Pressage mission a few seasons ago. And this AFTER they already nerfed it once. The Halo weapon that is getting the most love at the moment is the BxR-55 Battler which is yes the Battle Rifle (It is a Pulse Rifle in Destiny's world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 The Forerunner is a sidearm that acts as a weird combo hand cannon, scout rifle, and sniper rifle. It oddly feels nice to use in PvE. I couldn't work it in PvP, but I'm also not a flying wizard. I still think that DMT nerf was unnecessary, but I also don't do Crucible more than I have to.

Eivion Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Even without the catalyst its still pretty nice. Of course its even better when having Vorpal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
