*Disclaimer*
I main a lvl 34 Huntress and my main primary (like 90% off the time) is the No Land Beyond, I have made it to the lighthouse three seperate times on flawless tickets from the trials of osiris two weeks in a row, running said weapon with vestian dynasty and tomorrow's answer/hezen vengence. I have three chars but the other two are more for situational countermeasures and studying match-ups, I rarely step into pvp with them and don't get the stupid and ignorant idea that because I have a weapon equipped means that I even use it. For one, I don't like TLW and Thorn is too easy; plus I don't play CoD, and haven't since Black Ops I, so let's just get that shit outta here. Back to the topic at hand here:
[u]Original Post[/u]
Ok, I'm pretty sure everyone and their grandma who either can aim a -blam!-ing gun is tired of only seeing THORN, THE LAST WORD, RED DEATH, VEX MYTHOCLAST, and *insert scrubby exotic here* in competitive multiplayer events, they along with supers effectively break the game alone, but when you place them in a highly competitive format like IB or ToO, it's even more of an apparent problem. You've essentially turned this game into the shooter's equivalent of Street Fighter (match-up based instead of skill based) I don't know who's idea it was to create such cheap weapons that basically cater to scrubs to make them feel better about the fact that they're shit players who need spray and pray hand cannons or acid burn to get 90% of their kills, but isn't it kind of annoying when you're running crucible by yourself and you get paired up against a stacked team of Thorns, or TLW's etc? Would it really be too much to ask for to have a game mode that plays with level adv's and team based combat, where a player's weapon was chosen because they like it and not because it works? I'm really trying hard to understand why you keep making competitive playlist events that still run this *insert scrubxotic here to win* mentality that is implied when op weapons are given to scrubs who can't aim for shit. Balance is the name of the game when you're looking at competitive multiplayer events and yet you show absolutely no regard in handling it (almost as much regard as the kind shown for your horrid server issues from day one). Stop catering to the lowest common skill denominator and bring back the Bungie that actually gave a shit about balance in pvp, this is sickening; people shouldn't have to be forced to work twice as hard to kill with efficiency just because the other team wants to scrub out with cheap weapons, fix this shit.
[u]Second Opinion[/u]
I didn't want to edit this completely and wipe out the "wall of text," but I still think that it would be cool to have a playlist running level advantages, no exotics, no supers, or even one or the other being taken out and I'd love to see how it would work. Yes exotics are part of the game, yes supers are part of the game and that's fine, but I just thought that the idea would give a bit of a twist since Inferno Mode sort of went down this path by removing mechanics from the equation, so it's not like this is anything new. Granted, killing someone using these weapons is and always will be satisfying, staring down a vex or thorn and still getting the NLB shot is probably the most disrespectful kill in this game, next to doing it on someone who panic supers one person. I do apologize partially though, I really don't lash out like how I did either, I was just baffled by the fact that people wanted to do shit like assume I'm a CoD player or claim that I use weapons I don't normally use JUST because they're equipped to my secondary chars (ever switch gear around when you claim bounties?), or worse, immediately jump to the conclusion that it's because I'm bad when they main a warlock and can't even go positive (Hilarious).
I'm just saying man, I just want a little bit of variety and challenge, but I guess the true challenge would be to rise above; but that's just me.

Ever thought that the pvp aspect of this game is supposed to have guns better than other guns? And you can't say it doesn't work because look at other EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL title such as call of duty

Your the scrub man, get good and realize when you lose you got beat by someone better than you quit crying pee drinking crap face

I say we ban you from life. If you're not a scrub then you could beat all those weapons. Since the game came put I've only come against a handful of TLW and thorn users who were practically unbeatable and that was because of their skill with the weapon not just the weapon.

Ban all the bullets and melees, and lets all dance together!

Edited by The Queens Dead: 6/2/2015 9:50:22 PMOmg you're a troll right? this must be a troll. If this isn't a troll then what's a troll? This is a troll. Well done troll. Get gud Skrub Lord. Go play Call of Duty and call in your care package you scrub.

Though I think you made a solid point or two, that last sentence completely invalidated your post in my book.

2 RepliesEdited by contra_reality: 6/2/2015 9:38:59 PMWell how about this to make trials a little more interesting/"fair": players who have reached the lighthouse during a given week will have their radars disabled for the remainder of the tournament, once reaching twice they will also have trickle modifier added this way it becomes progressively harder to go flawless multiple times and would give some of the lesser teams a chance against those teams that have been like 5 times already this week but continue to play just to cock block. To counterbalance this added difficulty the reward needs to be increased either add an exotic ship/sparrow that drops after second visit or increased exotic probability, maybe 2 rolls then 3 rolls for third. Tl:DR introduce handicap for players who have gone flawless but increase the reward for subsequent visits

I'm gonna use my No Land Beyond and there's nothing you can do about it

Learn how to dodge supers and exotics. All supers can be easily avoided. Guns can be avoided just as easily.

Your in the wrong game.

Try doing the bounty for Thorn before you criticize for using it. If you still hate everyone e using it then call a waaaambulance before you complain on the forums

I was playing ToO and I was past alive in the last match of the game. I was against 3 level 34 titans all with supers. I went invis, knifed and shotgunned one guy, jumped into middle and revived my 2 teammates. While the 2nd was respawning, the titans supered and killed me and the 1st guy. Due to the invincibility of the respawn animation, the 2nd guy didnt die and supered the titans. You dont need great weapons to win, you need skill no matter what the other team has. And before you reply with something about supers, thats one of the things that makes this game special.

Every "op" weapon and super has a counter both in play style and abilities. A true test of skill involves more then the ability to win a classic western shoot out. It involves forcing the enemy to fight where you have the advantage.

Edited by PartyPiece93: 6/2/2015 9:23:43 PMThere's a game for that. Minus the stuff about exotics. [spoiler]It's called COD AW[/spoiler]

Go play a different game then where everyone has the same weapons and stats. Exotics ad supers are a part of destiny and will stay in all aspects of the game unless bungie plans make on making a barebones type game mode. N

Id be cool with no supers in trials

Do you only get killed by those? Are you sure those aren't just the ones you care to remember?

Let me beat you to the punch before I make my statement. Hi, my name is Meg and I'm a scrub who should shut up. I should git good cause I get wreckt. That being said Based on what I just read, shouldn't we band rocket launchers as well? As an average at best PvP player, I may not get my super in PvP but I can almost guarantee I will get a kill with a rl
