    I'll take that sniper if it behaves like a D1 sniper

    I think they should give it Final Round. It would be perfect because missed shots go right back in so you can't trigger it by mag dumping. You have to actually hit some people before you earn your 1-bodyshot-kill

    New Crucible Pinnacle looks like a sniper, at least in the image.
    Revoker - Missed shots are returned to the magazine after a short duration

    Welp, I suppose we needed one pinnacle weapon I'd have a lackluster response to (although I suppose I didn't really use Lunas all that much even after hunting it for all of Season 4).

    Ugh. The last thing Crucible needs is more sniping.

    I thought that was the whole idea behind the Annual Pass? 9 months of content all spread out. At least it's got a raid and not just gambit, but faster(ish). ;-)

    yeah i guess because they said this season was about 'secrets' i assumed there would be a new patrol area to find said secrets in.

    I also assume the 6 man will be timed and timed and secrets are no bueno

    i feel like if there was a new patrol zone it would be bullet points #1, #2 and #3 in the press release so I think this is just a description of the environment that the menagerie takes place in

    Alternatively, dump mag down to one at the start of the match and shoot a wall every time you get a regen. Now you have a final round sniper where you regenerate all the ammo you waste and don't have to reload.

    How do you get to 1 if it adds ammo right back into the magazine when you miss? If this is based on the "after a short duration" then they should change it to be instant.

    Whisper of the Worm (pre-nerf): Infinite ammo as long as you hit your shots
    Revoker: Infinite ammo as long as you miss your shots

    It's basically SGA in sniper rifle form

    Yeah, after a short duration suggests to me that you have a few seconds at least before the rounds come back.
    Of course instant could mean infinite sniper suppressive fire, which sounds like its own nightmare.

    I’ll try to get the sniper, but ammo is almost never an issue for green weapons anymore. I would’ve liked a more active perk.

    How about a modified Final Round perk then? One that doesn't trigger until you're at 1 ammo for X seconds where X is equal to the "short duration" of the modified Mulligan?

    I feel like the final week of every season should be Bonus Infamy/Bonus Valor/Glory Loss Forgiveness. Give pinnacle chasers a chance to finish off their quests.

    Ammo is definitely an issue on snipers if you aren't that good.

    And I find the green ammo economy can actually be tight in round-based comp (ie - countdown, survival).

    Okay so because I'm an idiot I bought the annual pass so I guess I've been dragged back in. Let's see how this goes.

    As someone who skipped last season and likely this one too. The season pass looks like it was insanely worth it for Pve players but pretty awful for PvP

    Every season seems jam packed with Pve content. New modes and raids. New quests. Exotic quests. Seems great.

    But as a mainly PvP player the only remotely PvP focuses thing for me are the pinnacle rewards

    Bear in mind, Bungie pretty clearly thought that Gambit was gonna be that hot hot shit that brought all the PvP Gurus to the hybrid activity yard. So while agree that Crucible proper got the definite shaft, I do think Bungie thought they had you covered.

    3 resets in gambit is absurd. Even if I had only done that this season with the amount I've been playing I probably would have managed 2.

    This is literally the easiest it’s ever been to get 3 resets in a season done, between the huge amount of bounties and two different game modes

    Also next week, you can get something like 12k infamy without even playing gambit, just doing the 4 world bounties on all 3 characters all 7 days.

    I don't think PvP has gotten new anything except pinnacle weapons since Forsaken dropped. There's barely even been balance changes. No new maps, no new armour, nothing.

    To be fair though, Zavala has gotten zero new stuff either beyond pinnacle weapons. No new strikes, no new armour, nothing either.

    There's like almost nothing going on without the season pass.

    D2 return update:
    Many Luna's have howled, unfortunately most of them were doing so straight into my delicate facemeats and it was unfortunate.
    It turns out I am very out of practice with Ace of Spades, and as such was getting out gunned by not only the incredibly well balanced Luna's but also by other luminaries of the meta such as Distant Relation and the occasional stiff breeze.
    Eventually though perseverance and sheer skill carried the day, and by that I mean switching to my Headseeker/Rangefinder Claws of the Wolf and a Botheration (I have a god roll DRB, I just didn't use it because I'm a hipster piece of shit). Then this happened:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRgzkiiuc94

    Not included are the two pretty nice Claws of the Wolf kills either side of this and my first (and let's be honest, definitely last) Ghost in the Night medal.

    This is around when they announced Forsaken as I remember, so it makes sense. We gonna get the D2 Y3 details and then all get impatient the whole summer waiting for them.

  • DoodmannDoodmann Registered User regular
    I thought D2 Y3 was going to be D3, or is that more of a D2 Y4 thing, which would be D1 Y6?

    I'm pretty tired of all the stuff I've accumulated so I'm hoping I get to start fresh again.

    Given the announcement says "the next chapter of Destiny 2" and not "of Destiny", it looks like all the rumours and leaks and such were true. D3 isn't till the year after.

    Hopefully we can't something substantial for Y3.

    I think there is a non-zero chance there simply isn't a D3.
    I don't personally think it'll play out that way (hat eating and all), but I wouldn't be too surprised if they think D2 is more sustainable than another "start from scratch" D3, particularly in light of the move away from Activision.

    I really want a D3 though, because I find a fresh reset now and then the way to keep things fresh rather than just ongoing forever accumulation of gear I never use. A reset evens things out and keeps things back to a sense of newness and wonder rather than the sort of refined expertise we have in D2.

    I also want some lost players to come back, and feeling like they were 1 year behind with Forsaken was bad enough, but if there is never a D3 those people would never come back.

    If they're keeping it around another year, they should really do an overhaul on PvP modes and maybe more than one new map?
