Hmm... Douchy isnt exactly the correct word. Its more of a noob gun being that the people who use it have gone through countless (50+) strikes just to get it so they could actually hold a candle to others in crucible. Its like you could either be skilled in crucible, or grind out this gun that beats everything. Similarly to how Thorn is a douchy gun.

So a gun that doesn't have any OP perks or damage over time is comparable in douchey was to thorn? You make no sense, people want this gun because pulse rifles require skill whereas the weapons used in crucible like TLW and thorn don't. Nothing douchey about a skilled weapon that can actually keep up with the exotic hand cannons.
-
No, arguably hopscotch doesnt require skill. And have you never been in crucible?? There are just as many pulse rifles as there are hand cannons. Specifically the messenger and red death, but the hopscotch is in there as well.
-
THORN is the reason most people want guns like this and the messenger. i understand what you are getting at but i don't think thee is anything wrong with folks trying to find good weapons they can enjoy using..
-
Theres nothing wrong with it. Whats wrong is that players spend their time finding OP weapons that will eventually get nerfed instead of playing and honing their skills. Its totally fair to use weapons that you like, or weapons that you've earned/xûrned. Whats not fair and quite frankly not okay is (and i have the idea in my head but I cant quite word it correctly) that the vast majority of the community seeks out OP weapons instead of earning them... No, thats not properly worded. What im trying to say is, instead of people using the powerful weapons that they rightfully earn, they basically go on witch hunts for the weapons that will get them the most kills the quickest. It kind of makes a part of the community seem lazy. But i get what you're getting at and I agree with what you're saying.
-
Um if it takes you 200 strikes to get a certain weapon,,, is that not earning it
-
Maybe to some people. To me, its the poor F'er who did 200 strikes trying to get one legendary weapon so they can 'do good'.
-
But to me it's fun running strikes and Poe...crucible isn't as much fun when it's full of shotguns and thorns....hell what's the point to run around with a no skill shotgun.it can't be fun if it's so easy
-
I like crucible but I either use 55A-ALLFATE and Queenbreaker's Bow or MIDA Multi-Tool and Murmur or the Give/Take equation with a full agility build. Shotguns are for Arc/Solar/Void burn. Im a huge fan of PoE if it doesnt take 3 hours to do.
-
I know that's right...I just play for fun...I don't get all butthurt because something don't go right...I work way to much to get mad at people playing a game lol
-
Well I did around 100 strikes just to do strikes for points and bountys ...the gun actually fell in Poe28 for me
-
Youre very fortunate. Ive heard of people doing like 250+ strikes to get it
-
If you want it just do Poe28s it took 5 run for the drop....and Poe28 is quick and fun
-
lol, yea flavor of the month will always be present. Suros, Red Death, Thorn, TLW, Shotguns..... people will always use what they deem is the very best weapon and never challenge themselves with lower quality weapons. although i must say if a person spends 50 strikes looking for a gun that they have definitely earned it lol. even at 10 mins a strike that's 500 mins ( roughly 8 hours) looking for a single gun lol
-
True. I never thought of the flavor of the month thing
