So there I was, in the crucible...
I noticed I have a few bounties for pvp on my warlock, so I thought I'd hop in for a few rounds. It was, dare I say, fun.... for a while.
I don't know if it's the time of night, or just people trying different weapons... but there was variety for the first time in a long while.
The scores were pretty close, lead changes every so often, good gunfights happening all over the map.
Then it happened....
A guy joins our match in progress on the other team. Suddenly I see his name filling up the kill feed. Then, off in the distance I see a figure with the distinct horns of a ram. He's there, then he's not... blinking all over the place.
I am in an epic dual with a defender titan, trying to lure him out of his bubble. Red shows up on the radar to my left, I turn and there he is...
I turn to defend myself, but the effort is for not... blink + Felwinter=Turst is dead.
I rez, trying to compose myself... blink + Felwinter.... dead again.
This guy continued to blink all over the map, shotgunning everyone in sight. A flag, to B flag, to spawn points... nowhere to go.
What started as a perfect night in crucible, with some of the most fun I have had in months.... ended with nothing but frustration.
In the end, this guy that joined about 25% into the round, finished with 40 kills & about an 8.0 KD by killing a lobby full of people using auto rifles, scout rifles, hand cannons, fusion rifles... every weapon type in the game seemed to be represented.
But... don't misunderstand. This isn't me asking for nerfs, or trying to bring this guy down for playing the way he wants.
What this is... is me hoping pvp in TTK will be the way my night started and not the way it ended. Varying weapon types, great gun battles, teams going back and forth posturing for position. Real, exciting, and fun pvp.
Crossing my fingers...

23 RepliesDon't worry shotguns AND blink are being nerfed in September. Shouldn't be as over used as it is now.

thats why i finally bought bloodborne...yesterday - just to stay a little bit away from destiny - hope ttk will b better

I laughed so hard at the first line of this post. I knew it was going to be good.

6 RepliesI pvp with Hard Light. To me, getting kills is more challenging and satisfying at the same time. To beat Thorn, Red Death, Last Word, and the Hopscotch / Spare Changes players with this handicapped gun makes a kill worth it. Am I handicapping myself? Maybe. But to do what that guy did just isn't fun for me [spoiler]if anyone played WoW and pvp'd as a Ret paladin knows what it's like to get kills as the underdog[/spoiler]

3 RepliesCrucible isn't even rewarding. It's not like cod where you have to grind for attachments/cosmetics and get rewarding killstreaks. Destiny pvp is just there to level up weapons in my opinion and people go way too hard sometimes. Unless you working for a bounty, the difference between first and last is nothing. Other than feeling good about the kills you have

9 RepliesI always start off my crucible games trying to have fun. Using low tier weapons. As soon as I notice I'm playing against try hards using blink shotgun, thorn, TLW, etc, I start doing the same thing and end up usually trashing them. Idk why people always try so hard in regular crucible. The meta is not fun at all.
-
Here's to hoping myself too! I honestly can't wait to try out crucible myself when TTK comes out.
-
I don't get why there isn't a longer delay between blinking and being able to fire off your weapon that would take care of it.

Should be

I propose a toast to a better future my little internet friend

Get him inside, pretty funny when they try blinking with nowhere to go. Besides Felwinters is sooo last year..
-
Dude blink shotgun is broken. Yes it's counterable but it's not easy to counter all the time especially without your own blink and if you don't have your own shotgun. Also in 6v6 there's often not many who can counter it so that guy will run around harvesting noobs and maxing points.

[quote]Crossing my fingers...[/quote] Good luck with that ;) It's never the players fault, in any FPS - loadout "stagnation" is due to mediocre options and bad weapon balancing, players will gravitate to whatever works the best, and even once the upcoming patch nerfs things there will be a new Primary/Secondary/Heavy loadout that people will bitch about.

I was playing a couple of hours ago in regular control. Varied guns and levels - very few tryhard exotic handcannons/blink users. I did pretty good with my ill will litc/final round/flared magwell.
-
Been there before, wishing I could flip him off before he shotguned me...lol Now I just turn up my agility put focused burst on and fly around their blinking ass...

I joined a team that was losing 2000 to 8000. I was like meh... Iam not a quitter so I stayed eager to see why ppl left... Then I realised... It was a team consisting of 5 bladedancers and a Voidwalker. All with blink and shottie. I still have nightmares to this day. The sight of 6 sweaty tryhards roflstomping randoms blinking all over the place left a mark on me. If a blink shotgun user that is actually good is simply unstopable. He might die alot, but wont end with less then 25-30 kills most of the times. I had a Cauldron game where only one guy used blink and I ended up with 23 kills and my first unbroken. I honestly cant wait for the weapon patch.

12 RepliesSo you're angry you weren't good enough to counter his play style?

Blink shotgun is fu@ked up in this game. Change it bungie or you will lose you pvp players to the next games coming out in the autumn. I know I'm watching carefully.
-
If you're not that great in pvp, countering a player like that is difficult. He was effective and saw the openings everywhere. Smart and ruthless. I like that. TTK will give each weapon type their own niches back. It'll be fun.

2 RepliesI enjoyed last night too Monte was wrecking and I was using Vestian dynasty as well and I went unbroken in control D; my fire team were all omg I wanna try too!!! I was in shock at going unbroken in Control this time and we just had such a great time ^-^ so fun! Sure there were thorners and last word users but they weren't being try hands like the rest and it was just such a great night with some new friends ^-^

4 RepliesWhat annoys me most about Blink is that a player can completely avoid a rocket, i mean really? I get it, blink is super awesome and in pve you can have a lot of fun with it but in pvp it really does give you a huge advantage over players that dont use it.
-
It's very true, the player demographic and meta change from hour to hour when you play. Here in est I notice there's a lot of...not very good pvp players from about 12pm to 3pm, from there it gets better until about 6pm and from there it's a challenge right through. I'm basing this off trials gameplay mind you
-
2 RepliesThis might have been me, or my brothers account, you literally described my first game on either my or my bros warlock last night. I was getting kills with the last word though.
-
I hope for that kind of crusible where I wont die from freakin guns only. Where Last Word wont kill me in a sec across the map, or where thorn wont kill me 5 sec after last shot.
-
I hate those guys..... They don't know what the word "primary" means......
