If you can pull yourself away from XV, IB Rift next week. Scouts, Fusion, Helmets, Class items.

That Distant Star is basically Hung Jury. Pretty cool.

[Serra]

No it's not, it's the same archetype as the MIDA (42 Rof - 37 Impact). Hung Jury is the same archetype as Vision (37 RoF - 48 Impact).

[Obsidian]

It's a decent Scout Rifle, in a vacuum. The problem with it (and anything else in that archetype) is that if you're using it you would almost definitely be better off with the MIDA.

The Fusion Rifle is complete garbage.

[theshun]

Something I have always enjoyed about Destiny is gone. I used to NEVER spawn near enemy players in PvP. Lately, not only are people spawn camping, you will spawn to someone right in front of you. I had a FoH take out three of us who had just spawned right next to him. Bladedancer. Nova Bomb. All different matches and players.

Edit: Also, critical crashes that just close the game. Never had it happen. Three plus times.

[Obsidian]

Spawns in Destiny have always been pretty bad. They vary from map to map but maps like Exodus Blue are a shitshow.

[Serra]

If you're playing IB, that's always been a problem with Rift since each side has a base unlike other modes where spawns can rotate more freely.

[Obsidian]

They said they were going to add overshields to players on spawn in Rift to decrease the spawn camping but like a lot of things, six months later we're still waiting.

[theshun]

I noticed it last week, before IB, but it is definitely more prevalent in Rift.

Merry Dawning's Eve everyone
