static rolls are the right choice. specific weapons should have the same traits. for different perks use a different weapon. makes perfect sense.

Totally agree. Static rolls were/are not the way.

Assuming he wants all of us to use the same few weapons in PvP, he's right. Because like it or not, that's what's happening. I'm running MIDA and Uriel in PvP, both very meta weapons. I use them because I kill very efficiently with them, and given how often I die by them, it would seem others agree with me.

Yeah, it feels like there's less loot, it's less unique, and less special. Huge step backwards for a loot game. I don't understand his position on fixed weapons, but I do understand that my group of friends hit a brick wall with Destiny within a month and moved on.

"This is my game now."

[quote]Are you done grinding planetary tokens for that armor you wanted? Are you done grinding the gunsmith for that rare gun you want? Are you done grinding the easy new raid for that armor you want because the raid guns suck? Are you done grinding the crucible for your Better Devils? Are you done grinding Trials of the Nine tokens because you can't go flawless due to sweaties? [b]Well have I got the answer for you![/b] [b]Behold, IRON BANNER![/b] ([i]Now with 80% less iron[/i]) Grind endlessly for [u][b]new[/b] Samurai themed armor[/u] and guns with an [u]exclusive Iron Banner sticker[/u], but with the added urgency of a limited event making you grind harder than ever before! Enjoy the absolute worse this game has to offer, with unbalanced teams, bad spawns, and meta players using the most broken weapons. Fight an endless war of attrition against camping Warlocks with infinite health, or get killed in literally under a second by the Last Word 2.0. Enjoy the endless droning of sirens as the clan you solo-qued up against captures the entire map. Lose to teams with FIVE TIMES YOUR SCORE who have been spawn killing you for the past five minutes. Get killed by a rocket launcher before you're finished the spawn-in animation, or get cross-mapped by fusion rifles. Try to capture a zone while getting hit from 8 pulse grenades, which aren't at all over powered when compared to the other grenades. Discover how useless anything that isn't the meta really is, as you're killed by the Antiope, Uriel's Gift, MIDA, and Last Hope consistently. Learn how powerful Fist of Havok is as the only roaming panic-button super. Ask yourself why Bungie left the Hunter "Wombo-Combo" in the game, only to never use the wombo-combo again, as your super, Shadow Shot, is literally just Nova Bomb, but completely useless. Wonder what the point of player choice is, as you discover the "One Path to Victory" Shaxx is always talking about is simply playing the meta, with any semblance of skill optional. [b] But how is this better than the Iron Banners of old? [/b] The only difference between Iron Banner and regular Crucible? Gone. That pesky lore of the Iron Lords nobody cared about? Gone. The uniquely modeled weapons of previous Iron Banners? Gone. The ability to buy items as you progress? Gone. The chance to get Iron Banner items as an post-game reward? Gone. The ability to re-roll weapons? (bet some of you forgot about that) Gone. The rewarding experience of obtaining high level loot and powerful items? Gone. [b] All those toxic downsides of Iron Banner are now more dead than the Iron Lords. [/b] Instead, grind away for meaningless tokens for the RNG slot machine that gives no guarantee your time will be rewarded. Win low level gear and weapons with an [u]exclusive Iron Banner sticker[/u], with a Iron Lord's chance in a SIVA replication chamber of getting the [u]new Iron Banner exclusive [b]Samurai[/b] armor[/u], which doesn't match the theme of Iron Banner one bit. Listen to Overwatch easter eggs that remind you of better games you could be playing, and end your week feeling hollow for spending all your time grinding for the armor you wanted, only to get an endless supply of Iron Banner themed garbage sidearms. [b] Let us take a moment to thank Bungie for this event. [/b] This event that showcases every single flaw of Destiny 2. This event that showcases the faults of the Crucible. This event that showcases how unrewarding the game is. This event that has managed to royally piss me off. [b] Thank you Bungie. [/b] P.S. I'm never playing Iron Banner again...until some stupid new gear comes out and I force myself to endure more of this cancer and rip my hair out.[/quote]

HOW LUKE SMITH BECAME WHO HE IS TODAY. "Doc we've got an emergency, a Guardians sparrow crashed headfirst into the forklift, the guardians just hanging on". "Quick prep theatre 8 I'll scrub up" 5 mins later the doc enters theatre, "Dam that's Squadron leader Luke Smith" "Oh my says the nurse he's won every medal the Guardianship has, speed runs bravery kills, solo infiltration he's won everything, all awarded to himself by himself". "Then we must save him", replies the doc "But his brains hanging outta his face, how the hell can he come back from this." "Hold on I've got an idea", The doc then contacts the local zoo, within 15mins a ship drops off a small cage containing a captive Capuchin monkey, And after some excellent surgery Captain Luke's brain is replaced. "But Doc he'll never fly again, what will become of him." "Don't worry the Capuchin monkey can adequately articulate, the Guardianship can always use him as a front man on stage, he should be able to blunder his way through that." Thus ended the short career of Squadron leader Luke Smith.

Ah well some people cannot be told, if destiny 2 goes arse end over tits then it’s there fault.

[quote]They really are out of touch, no wonder the game's dying.[/quote] Yep. Bungie are idiots

They really should award him -blam!-tard of the year.

Tell luke smith static rolls are garbage and boring

I guess that makes him a liar, now don't it.

I just don't think the mod system was fully realized what they need to do is make mods perks you can directly attach to weapons

Duh, because everyone knows nothing makes a looter shooter work nearly as well as a small weapon pool with static drops... Static rolls would have worked if they had 100 different versions of each weapon type, but they didn't. Funny that you ignored the other part of the article that pointed out they're happy that most everyone hit max light after a few resets.
