If only you knew 2 or 3 or 4 others who could load up with you into a 3 or 4 or 5 man rumble match....... If only those people would just run at you and you could shoot them in the face and have it done in a minute or less...... If only..... If I catch some of you guys on this weekend, might consider doing that...cause Control might not be a great place for doing this (especially when I'm rusty at PvP). I'm sure we can get 6 of us to load into a rumble match and take care of business.

In homage to the atrocious patch that Bungie put out, the Nine decided to give Xur the worst inventory in his history. Honestly, I had to take a moment and pause to see if it was worth my time and waste of space on the internet to repost it from reddit. But duties are duties... but this one was hard to do kids. But I don't care if you have a vault and 3 characters full of 9999 strange coins... there is no reason to waste them this week. Just delete the stack and carry on. Know how in weeks gone by, people say how bad Xur is? Well, this is the week that they say it and it's right. No amount of polish can make this turd shine. No amount of freezing can shape this $hit. None. This is a new low. I like to say I see the good in everything or everyone. Even I can't this week. *sigh* Xur's in The Reef... but don't bother visiting him because it's a waste of time. Maybe just try that hovering thing on the edge of the spawn instead? Or go hump one of the latex queen's guard hotties? Jerk it to Petra? He's selling the worst weapon in the game, the Hard Light for 23 SC which is like paying $1,000,000 to a Tijuana 25 cent meth crackhead hooker. Honestly. I've lost all respect for you if you spend this many coins on this trash piece of garbage weapon. It says something about you as a person and reflects badly upon you, your family, and literally everyone associated with you. I'd just commit Sepuku or the ritualized suicide procession of your culture. Eternal Warrior Titan Helmet with 42 Int // 43 Str for a 92% for 13 SC but it's a horrible helmet so literally, just delete the stack of SC instead of giving them to Xur. Lucky Raspberry Hunter Chest Armor with a 103 Dis roll for 84% for 13 SC which is equally attrocious so again... just delete the 13 SC instead of spending them Purifier Robes Warlock Chest Armor with a 55 Int // 57 Dis for 92% but given that they are perhaps the worst warlock chest piece you can wear, again... delete the 13 SC instead of spending them Legacy Engram is the Gauntlet Engram for 29 SC but honestly, if you need gauntlets, you should feel bad and just delete your characters and start over again. I am confused about your opinion on Xur this week. Quit sending mixed messages.

Oh... sorry all... I forgot: no IB next week. Because I honestly believe Bungie right now are trying to kill the game.
I honestly believe that.
They are trying to shatter things so badly so when they f$$kup again, everyone will say "well, at least it's not as bad as patch 2.5.0.2.
They're making such a mess right now that the rest of the messes will pale in comparison and ultimately be forgivable later. So when destiny 2 has a messed up, absent story line, it'll be perceived to be "at least better than Destiny 1's patch in february.
May 2017: Bungie: we broke Sunsingers so you can't revive when you have a super and running radiance.. Player base: Well, at least they f$$k up like they did when they nerfed Hungering Blade!! Remember that?!?!?!

No. But it's not worse than using a normal AR, and is pretty fun to use. There is not a situation for which the Dreg's Promise is not less useful than literally any other sidearm with any possible roll in the game. A Queen's Choice with Relentless Tracker and Last Resort? It's still always better than the Dreg's Promise. Many guns that are bad are at the very least redeemed somewhat by being fun to use - but alas, the Dreg's Promise is not fun to use in any way. It is far and away the worst weapon in the game. If the Hard Light is like paying $1,000,000 to a Tijuana 25 cent meth crackhead hooker, then the Dreg's Promise is like finding out she has a penis right after you give her the money.

The Dreg's Promise is the 2nd worst exotic weapon in the game. It is also the worst exotic weapon in the special slot. But it is not the worst exotic weapon inthe game. That honor is bestowed upon the Hard Light. I will use a Dreg's Promise 12 times out of 10 over the red headed stepchild of exotic primary weapons. I would use a white Khvostov over a Hardlight. Given the choice, I would spend the 150 to use a XBox elite controller on my PS4 than use the Hardlight. I would turn off the game and buy COD IW with the season pass at full price instead of using that.... "weapon" (in the liberalist, loosest definition of weapon) And FYI, when dealing with the prospect of a a Tijuana 25 cent meth crack hooker, it's almost a guarantee that you are going to get some form of penis... be it a full on tranny, mutilated pierced clit with gigantism, or a cheap chinese sex toy. Just sayin'... that's all

So, any of the PS4 bros want to help me help a friend get Dark Drinker later? (Though that's if he'll be able to make a run at it today...otherwise we'll probably use LFG if we need to.)

Trials - this new meta is terrible. It's now just the Sniper/Sidearm meta. There's even less choice now. Shotguns have been nerfed into the ground. Fusion Rifles account for 0.47% of Weapon Kills. That's less than Machine Guns. There's no real viable non-sniper loadout. It's hard to believe they created a new meta even more restrictive than the old one.
Since I can't snipe, I've resorted to using Fusion Grenades for the majority of my kills. Seriously, they're over 50% of my kills.

PVP wise... I mean, I don't have a problem with the new PVP meta as I was a Scout/sidearm guy. The lack of shotguns makes me very happy tbh. I don't do trials, so yea... Can't comment on that. I read on reddit they're going to look at nlb's flinch (supposidly, it's non existant) I think they're going to dial some stuff back pvp wise. We won't get a full on"oooops, we done did fuck up" but it'll be something like that. They'll tweek sinething (all special lose 1/2 reserve ammo upon death)
Pvewise, that hungering blade fix better happen sumoquickyprontoasapnow or at least on tuesday. I miss Voidwalker alot. I have enjoyed the strike modifiers this week. The nightfall took less than 10 minutes and I've been digging out a lot of solar specials I haven't used in quite a while: zen meteor, invective, susanoo... And I converted Hellacool with the words of the Lord of Wolves. Shit, I went ham with the Chaperone in the omnigal strike too. But I miss my voidwalker and this fix needs to happen sooner than later.

People are calling for nerfs to No Land Beyond now, and they're actually serious about it. The weapon that since its inception has been nothing more than the joke/troll weapon you got pissed about getting as a drop instead of a real exotic is now too strong? Absolutely unbelievable. This is what happens when you cater to least common denominator casual whining from the DTG reddit and nerf every other gun into the ground instead of trying to actually balance anything. Yuck.

The way to get around the special ammo nerf is to use a good/great primary instead of using your special weapon as your primary. Or rep the Cult and get a wormwood.
And the biggest reason why reddit wants a NLB fix is its lack of flinch when being hit. You can literally ads and still be hit and get your intended shot off. I read somewhere that there's virtually no flinch. If the intention/desire of this patch is to encourage more gun fights, this is an obz prob.

My point is that NLB isn't the problem, the constant nerfs to everything are the problem. Regardless of it not having flinch, it takes a very skilled player to use NLB effectively. The fact that anyone is arguing for an NLB nerf -- a gun that everyone has treated as a joke for 2+ years because it was widely regarded as the worst weapon in the game -- is laughable. What's next after an NLB nerf? Sidearms, which were always the 4th tier secondary choice until this patch? Where does the nerf train end? The bottom line is that there will always be a best weapon or loadout, no matter what. Best =/= overpowered, which unfortunately a lot of people don't seem to be able to understand. At this point you might as well say "I died to a gun, Bungo plz nerf gun," because that's basically all that's left. Every weapon class in the game is already a shell of its former self compared to what it was in Y1. How much worse do they have to get?

Literally everyone I play with has been complaining about NLB forever. It's just they nerfed everything else into the ground, so more people are noticing. It's hard to believe they play tested this patch, and that they couldn't have foreseen the impact of the changes they made. Fusion Rifles are accounting for less kills than Machine Guns, in Trials. How could they have messed up the balance this bad?

They totally play tested this patch. They just nerfed everything so hard it will do 3 very important things:
1) they will make a few changes to show everyone that "Bungie cares and listens"
2) next time people get antsy and clammer for a nerf, people will think twice because Bungie will do this sort of thing
3) Bungie now has a gauge of what the community will accept and will push that
This is of course on top of what I said earlier,

Meh
Players memories are short and piss poor. The meta changes and give people new guns to grind for. Everytime there's a weapons patch, everything is shit, everything is broken, everything is unplayable, everything is yadda yadda blah blah blah. But again, this is coming from a non shotgunner.
I'm surprised that they cancelled IB though. It would have given them the standard "it's not so bad" articles and feedback they so desperately crave.

Well, if ny games if Rift is any indicator... The s.a.n. will be at best... annoying.
I delibrately ran a shotty and I was probably 30 seconds per game without special ammo. I was able to even get 3 boxes in 1 life. Annoying in the sense that I always had to reload my shotty and annoying because I suck with them.
Lots of autorifles and handcannons, no clever dragons or matadors, no jumping blinking mario's and I even got killed by some bladedancers as usual.
Time will tell, but my crucible experience tonight was nice.

How could they have messed up the balance this bad? Looks like Plan C has been royally done over because of the enforced reload change. I usually run Voidwalker in Crucible, since I mainly play Mayhem now, so I use Transversive Steps so I can overcome this. Unfortunately that means Titans and Hunters will be out of luck here. You know how bad the nerfs have been when a weapon that was considered a joke reward from The Dark Below has become part of the meta. There are snipers hoping their NLB won't get nerfed by having the standard flinch every other sniper rifle gets, but I can see them adding it eventually. If Queenbreaker's Bow has to have scope glare for 'balance reasons', despite being neither a sniper rifle nor having a scope, then nothing will save NLB from a further nerf.
