    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=261ENQaCzNo Hi I'm DarkColaClassic and I want this to be a collective of friends who get together regularly and try to become legend. I've played the hell out of the beta, and I loved it! But the one thing that was missing was a community, a group of like-minded guardians who have your back, who can communicate, strategize or who you can just joke around with.I believe this is the game that I've been waiting for all my life, so regardless of skill level, age, sex or anything else, if you love this game like I do I want to play with you. I want to experience everything that destiny has to offer but I especially want to conquer raids. With teamwork and a little luck, I know we can make it through. The Vault of glass awaits. So whether you can take out a Devil Walker single headedly, or are just getting your boots wet in old Russia, we want you. We're not just fighting for humanity; we're making friends and having fun.

Weapon Archetypes!

While perusing the strategy guide, I found some interesting stuff but probably the most fascinating was Weapon Archetypes. A rule of thumb on page 229 says that a slower a weapon fires, the more damage it does Now on page 231we have a description of all the weapon archetypes, there's to much to write here but they're basically how each weapon works. Now on page 277 we get which gun types have what archetypes Archetypes are not indicated in game, but these handy tables can help you choose guns on the fly without needing to know much more. Example: Right now I have a Sahara-AR3, I'm not crazy about it but have been finding jack all for auto rifles. If I go to page 277, I find that the Archetype for these is Rapid, then if I go to page 231 I find that a Rapid Archetype is described as: Spray bullets, poor range, harsh recoil. This is an obvious example. This also illustrates why I can't seem to use this gun well in crucible. While it works fairly well in PvE, since Level and Attack ratings are turned off for normal PvP, the tiny impact rating on these guns severely limits the damage I can do per shot so I find I'm constantly being outgunned. I remember enjoying the Shingen E in the beta and it's listed at stable, so I may enjoy another auto rifle with this archetype as well. Just thought I'd share, and if you want to check these pages out for yourself, I posted a thread on how to get a digital copy of this strategy guide for free. If you find an archetype that you particularly enjoy, please post below.
