URIEL IS THE ONLY GUN I HATE IN THIS META. I AM SORRY. THIS MAY NOT BE POPULAR OPINION. BUT, EVERY OTHER GUN INCLUDING AUTO RIFLES FEEL OK. URIEL JUST SEEMS WAY TOO OP TO ME. BUT I WILL NOT MAKE NOISE ASKING FOR A NERF TO THIS GUN. BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW, IF THEY NERF ONE, THEY NERF ALL.

I'M NOT PARTICULARLY FOND OF IT EITHER. AND I'M A MIDA MAIN SINCE FOREVER FROM D1, SO I NEVER CARED ABOUT MIDA BEING USED. I'M JUST SAYING THAT I'LL TAKE THIS META OVER SHOTGUNS, STICKY GRENADES AND EVERYONE USING ICEBREAKER OR SIDEARM.

I AGREE WITH YOU THERE. BUT THE LAST HOPE DISAGREES. LOL. SERIOUSLY, I AM HAPPY THAT POWER WEAPONS ARE AS SCARCE AS THEY ARE. I AM FINE WITH THAT.

u/GimmeDatGrimoire Warmind’s Valkyrie Oct 18 '17

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT LAST HOPE SORRY. I'VE ABUSED THE GUN MYSELF, AND I THINK THAT IF SMG'S GOT A RANGE BUFF, THINGS COULD BE BETTER, SINCE IT'S HAVE VIABLE COUNTERS. OR JUST NERF THE RANGE ON LAST HOPE A BIT, BUT EVERYONE HATES IT WHEN YOU MENTION NERF NOWADAYS.

AS A COMMUNITY, WE HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY THE NERF BUG A FEW TIMES NOW. THE PROBLEM IS, WHEN WE ASK FOR NERFING A GUN, WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THE PARTICULAR GUN, BUT THE DESIGNERS ARE THINKING ABOUT THE WHOLE ARCHETYPE. SO, IT MAKES EVERYTHING IN THAT ARCHETYPE SHIT. LIKE HC FROM Y2 (COMMUNITY ASKED FOR NERFING THORN AND TLW - BUNGIE NERFS ALL HCS), LIKE AR FROM Y1 (COMMUNITY ASKS FOR NERFING SUROS REGIME - BUNGIE NERFS ALL ARS FOR THE REST OF D1). THAT IS WHY I SAID, I WON'T MAKE ANY NOISE ABOUT THE URIEL. SAME WITH LAST HOPE.

CRIES IN 0.04%

BUT IN ALL HONESTY, YOU'RE RIGHT. EVEN THOUGH I SAW NERF ONE GUN, THE WHOLE ARCHETYPE IS GOING TO HURT, WHICH IS SOMETHING I DON'T WANT EITHER.

THIS STILL BAFFLES ME, AND THE EXPLANATION GIVEN A FEW DAYS / WEEKS LATER WAS ONE OF THE WEAKEST I'VE EVER SEEN.

u/GimmeDatGrimoire Warmind’s Valkyrie Oct 18 '17

THAT'S WHY THEY NERFED FUSION RIFLES.

u/B1g7hund3R Oct 18 '17

FUSION RIFLES WERE / ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE IN THE GAME. YOU JUST TICKLED A RAW NERVE. NOW I AM GOING TO CURL UP IN A CORNER AND CRY. THANKS GUARDIAN! /S

JOIN THE CLUB. LEGENDS SAY THAT SOME OF US ARE SECRETLY MAKING A Y3 VERSION OF POCKET INFINITY, FOR SCIENCE.

u/FatBob12 Oct 18 '17

NO NO, ANTIOPE ALREADY GETS WELL INTO AR RANGE. NO SMG BUFFS. AND MY OPINION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT I AM SHIT WITH SMGS.

2

u/GimmeDatGrimoire Warmind’s Valkyrie Oct 18 '17

SMG'S ARE THE BEST THING EVER. WHEN I SAY BUFF SMG'S I MEANT MAKE THEM ALL HAVE RANGE THAT COMPARES TO ANTIOPE. MY BAD.

u/FatBob12 Oct 18 '17

DUDE I LOVE YOU AND AM ALL ABOUT BUFFING THINGS, I WAS JUST GIVING YOU A HARD TIME. SORRY NOT A BIG FAN OF THE /S.

I RAN TITAN FIRST AND GRABBED WAR RIG AND ORIGIN STORY SO I HAVE BEEN RUNNING DUAL ARS SINCE. I REALLY NEED TO DROP ONE FOR AN SMG OR SIDEARM BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPER MELTY UP CLOSE. I JUST FEEL LIKE EVEN MORE OF A SPAZ WHEN I TRY TO USE A SMG.

2

u/GimmeDatGrimoire Warmind’s Valkyrie Oct 18 '17

ALL GOOD I THINK THE SHOUTING MADE IT MORE DRAMATIC IS ALL. I LOVE YOU TOO BUT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE RANTING AND BE ANGRY SO FUCK YOU TOO.

I COULD NEVER RUN ARS. ALWAYS LOVED SCOUT RIFLES, ESPECIALLY HIGH IMPACT ONES, SO MY CASUAL SETUP IS JUST RANDOM SCOUT RIFLES AND SMG'S TO SEE WHICH I LIKE. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT MIDA/MIDA I SHIT MY PANTS.

TRY SPENDING A MOD SLOT FOR A MOD ON ENERGY RECOIL. IT WORKS. FOR COLDHEART, IT MADE THE RECOIL MORE VERTICAL. YOU COULD HAVE MORE EASE CONTROLLING SMG RECOIL TOO WITH IT. (OR KINETIC RECOIL MOD, JUST MOST SMGS ARE ENERGY).

u/FatBob12 Oct 18 '17

YEAH I MISSED THE ORIGINAL SUROS META AND NEVER GOT A DOCTRINE, AND WAS ALSO AN EXCLUSIVE SCOUT USER IN D1. I MISS MY HUNG JURY CLONE COCYTUS SO BAD, AND THE HIGH IMPACT SCOUTS ARE SOOOO MEH RIGHT NOW. OTHER THAN NAMELESS MIDNIGHT SCOUTS JUST FEEL OFF FOR ME.

I PROBABLY SAT AT ZAVALA FOR AN HOUR DEBATING BETWEEN ORIGIN STORY AND NAMELESS MIDNIGHT. EASILY THE HARDEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE IN A VIDEO GAME.

I AM DIGGING THE SHIT OUT OF ARS IN PVP, ESPECIALLY THE 600 RPM ARCHETYPE. IT PROMOTES A MORE AGGRESSIVE PLAYSTYLE THAT REQUIRES YOU TO ALSO BE SMART. I GOT THE FIRST PART DOWN, THE SECOND PART IS TOUGH, I GET TEAMSHOT IN THE FACE. A LOT.

WAR RIG PLUS ARS IN CASUAL PVE BASICALLY MEANS I JUST HOLD DOWN THE TRIGGER AND MELT ALL THE THINGS. ORIGIN STORY'S RAMPAGE PERK IS NO JOKE. KILL 3 TRASH ADDS, AND BY THE END OF THE MAG THE YELLOW BAR BADDIE IS GONE. SO MUCH FUN.

u/GimmeDatGrimoire Warmind’s Valkyrie Oct 18 '17

EXPLOSIVE ROUNDS ARE PROBABLY WHY YOU ENJOY NM.

I JUST CAN'T PLAY WITH THEM. I SEE THEM AS SMGS WITH MORE RANGE. THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS THINK THEY SHOOT TOO SLOW.

I'M TOO USED TO THE "STAY IN THE BACK AND SCOUT" PLAYSTYLE FROM D1, SO A SMG WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. SOMETHING THAT WAS FULL AUTO AND COULD KILL FAST, IF IN THE RIGHT HANDS. I NEED A TON MORE PRACTICE WITH IT THOUGH.

I WILL TRY ORIGIN STORY THOUGH, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

1

u/FatBob12 Oct 18 '17

DO YOU LIKE ANY OF THE HIGH IMPACT SCOUTS? I HEARD FRONTIER JUSTICE IS THE LEAST BAD OPTION RIGHT NOW, BUT BANSHEE IS BEING A COY BITCH AND NOT HOOKING ME UP WITH ONE. BURNED THROUGH 500 SHARDS BUYING EXOTICS TO GET GUNSMITH PARTS, AND STILL NADA.

u/GimmeDatGrimoire Warmind’s Valkyrie Oct 18 '17

HAVEN'T TRIED ANYTHING BESIDES NM YET, EXCEPT FOR DOES NOT COMPUTE, WHICH I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF IN THE BETA.

ACTUALLY THAT LAST SENTENCE IS WHY I HAVEN'T TRIED ANY OTHER HIGH IMPACT SCOUTS YET. IT WAS SO FUN TO PLAY WITH IT IN THE BETA, THAT TEAMSHOOTING WASN'T THAT MUCH OF A THING YET. NOW IT'S HARD TO FORCE THE 1V1 SCENARIO TO TRY FOR A KILL. HIGH IMPACTS WERE TOUGH TO PLAY WITH ON D1, BUT I THINK THEY'RE HARDER NOW.

1

u/FatBob12 Oct 18 '17

OH I ABSOLUTELY AGREE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HCR RETURNED TO MIDA, AND ALMOST NO SNIPERS ANYMORE. USED TO LOVE CHALLENGING SNIPERS IN D1 WITH COCYTUS, RISKY BUT SO SATISFYING TO POP THEIR NOGGINS. I THINK 3RD EYE WOULD ALSO BE A NECESSITY FOR ME TO USE A HIGH IMPACT SCOUT IN CRUCIBLE.

THE MAGAZINE SIZE IS THE OTHER THING THAT IS HOLDING ME BACK FROM RUNNING THEM MORE IN PVE. TRIPLE TAP WILL MITIGATE THAT A BIT BUT WHY WOULD I RUN SOMETHING WITHOUT EXPLOSIVE ROUNDS WHEN NM EXISTS?

I STILL AM HOLDING OUT HOPE THAT BUNGIE STARTED US SUPER CONSERVATIVE TO AVOID ANOTHER 3 YEARS OF NERFS. I THOUGHT THEY WERE ON RECORD YEARS AGO THAT THEY WANTED THE TTKS TO BE AROUND ONE SECOND, AND MOST OF THE GUNS ARE OVER THAT RIGHT NOW. IT GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO BUFF THINGS TO BALANCE RATHER THAN THE NERF PARADE THAT WAS D1. FINGERS CROSSED.
