Monty Carlo: Lower Your Expectations Now so you won't be Disappointed when you get it.
When you heard the Monty Carlo was getting a catalyst what was your first thought?
*me too
How did you imagine it'd work?
*me too!
But see, that was only our[[b][i] Expectation[/i][/b] of a MC cat.
Maybe that's how I'd make it, or you'd make it, but that was just our [b]Expectation.[/b]
Having a fully functional auto rifle with a fully functional bayonet, Bam bam bam *run out of ammo* poke, poke poke. Well, that's what players might expect.... But.... doesn't look like what we're getting.
*I know, right?
[b]Lower your Expectation now, so you won't be disappointed later when it comes out.[/b]
It's not what you expect.
It won't work the way you expect.
Will it be good, possibly.
But don't be disappointed. It is what it is.
✌️

Edited by ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ: 8/21/2023 8:45:44 AMI love MC, just for melee builds. If the cat is only for its knife stab function, I prob won’t even think about using it. I already imagine it to be weak or strong in intro, with a subsequent buff or nerf inbound.
-
😂😂😂. I hope most have learned what Bungie "delivery" is. I haven't gotten excited about anything for a few years and man has it saved alot of headache.
-
why someone will have expectations when bungie showed us what MC cat will do, an alternate fire mode that at x 5 deal a massive damage nothing more
-
I still don't know how I feel about this one. I'll need to put it to use and then make a decision. I hope it's not a random drop from one of the playlists though. I how they make a mission with a guaranteed drop out of it. Still wish it was a catalyst for thorn though

Edited by Dredgen Wolf: 8/21/2023 1:53:53 AMI already like Monte Carlo as is, now I have a more fun mode for Monte, add this to my Actium War Rig build.

2 RepliesIt's going to be a toggle otherwise normal melee abilities wouldn't work. Maybe think a little before posting this trash.
-
guys i think OP wants us to lower our expectations
-
We don’t know anything until we get the catalyst. The footage looks like what I’d want it to do but let’s wait and see.
-
Ha ha bayonet go burr
-
3 RepliesSeems like you hold reload and then you can stab, I hope its a one shot in pvp or its gonna be trash.
-
I honestly didn't expect anything and don't really care for it. I don't know what all the hype is about...
-
5 RepliesSo you wanted a glaive?[spoiler]likely not[/spoiler]
-
First thought?: I don’t like melee weapons… I’m sure it’ll look and feel cool but why the insistence on melees in a game like destiny? What’s the fantasy outside of throwing knifes/hammers or the solar warlock ones launching a flaming projectile
-
Well, there is a video of how it works, so if anyone sets their expectations too high, they kind of deserve the disappointment. And yes, "too high" includes working properly. I'm expecting hit registration problems, and either weak damage or nerfs over time. This is Bungie after all.
-
Some FYIs for everyone: - In the clip, the user performs an alternate Fire action (like swapping between Cerberus or Grand Overture modes) - The damage from the bayonet is very very high and will likely not be stackable with melee exotics (and if it is then the armor will probably be disabled until fixed) - Due to the above, I’d probably be willing to bet that there is a meter tied to at least the extra damage of the melee if not the melee itself. (I’m hoping for just being a damage bonus and not the Glaive-melee function).
-
I dont understand, what are you hearing people say they expect it to do ? It's bayonet, I expect it to stab things. If it does anything else I'll be pleasantly surprised, or incredibly confused.

1 ReplyEdited by BetweenMyself: 8/19/2023 4:34:04 PMIt’s important to start from a place where you have [b]realistic[/b] expectations. The devs clearly were not going to release an [i]Always-On[/i] Catalyst that replaces all non-powered melee attacks with a bayonet attack that features a significant damage bonus (out of concern for PvP balance if nothing else), especially not anything remotely close to the numbers shown in the video. In the video the user’s basic non-powered melee deals 7,534 damage, compared with [b]116,019[/b] damage dealt by the bayonet attack. I dare say it’s reasonable for the devs to expect player’s to have to build up some sort of meter to activate a 15.39x damage boost. [i]Edit: We should also go in with the expectation that this Bayonet attack will have zero stackability with any Exotics that boost melee damage.[/i] (΄◉◞౪◟◉｀)
