Has this been posted yet? Interesting GDC talk about Destiny's networking tech: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1022247/Shared-World-Shooter-Destiny-s

That was a good read. I think in general, a lot of the Dark Below's stuff had the issue of being too client focused. There was one time when my co-worker opened the door to Omnigul's lair and got kicked to orbit. There was a good 10-15 seconds where the door wouldn't open and we couldn't get the prompt to open the door.
 
Matador 64 with Accurized Ballistics, Shot package, Reinforced barrel, and final round.

Is that better than:

Party Crasher +1, Aggressive Ballistics, Shot package, Rifled Barrel, Battle Runner?

Clown Cartridge really isn't worth it on launchers with 2 in the mag. You start with 3 total usually, and even if you get an extra one after reloading, you now have 3 in the chamber and 0 in reserve, so you can't even proc CC again. So with CC, you really want 1 in the chamber. Ash Factory is the only launcher I know of that lets you pick up 4 rockets even though it only has 1 in the chamber too.

Just to make sure I understand what your saying :p

Ash Factory is good with clown cartridge because it holds 1 rocket in the mag and 4 in reserve allowing for multiple procs of clown cartridge?

A bit of a toss up. PC normally has lower impact and higher RoF than Matador, but since you have AggB on PC but only AccB on Matador the impacts are probably very similar while PC will still have the higher RoF.

On the other hand people generally prefer Final Round and don't much care for Battle Runner. Personally I don't like FR on shotguns since I don't want to limit myself to one shot during close quarters combat. To me, Reinforced and Rifled Barrel are ~equal since neither stability nor reload time are important on a high impact shotty.

Bottom line, I'd use the PC+1 for now while re-rolling the Matador looking for Aggressive, Shot Package, Rifled or Reinforced, and Kneepads or Luck in the Chamber.

From what I saw in a video, yes. I don't have the roll myself to confirm.
 
I remember cause I've played with one at least one gaffer from each of these countries.

Nice, thanks forthe list! I'd been compiling my own list and had most of these but there are a few new ones plus a few on my list that aren't here so we should be close to comprehensive by now.

Rad's Fury has 1 and 3 by default (without Tripod) as long as you have "carry extra heavy ammo" perk on your armor.

edit: 4 total, 1 in chamber and 3 in reserve

Awesome. It's probably the same with the Ash Factory then. I have a Fury that's from the first expansion so it can't roll tripod and horseshoes. Good to know.

OMFG The Pilgrim on my 3rd Dragon Strike! Yes!
I saw a Pilgrim drop.
Wasn't for me :\

In that time I also saw a double exotic drop. Yep. I'm just as likely to see a double exotic drop as I am a Pilgrim.

If there's an Arc Burn anywhere next week I'm using my Necrochasm. Out of spite. I don't know where that spite is directed, but there will be Necro.
 
Thanks Boguester. I was on the fence but I will probably reroll the Matador. I almost never use Final Round because I compulsively reload. I really wish I could get an A-Tier roll with anything besides Battle Runner as the last perk. Maybe once I get some more weapon parts :)
 
That's now 9 hours of my life wasted on skolas for nothing. It's making me never want to play this game.


Holy shit 9 hours!?

You must have had horrible teammates. I beat skolas this week with a group from here and it took us like an hour at skolas. We only wiped once which was nice but we were communicating constantly and helped each other out.

Ive pronably gotten to the last set of mines 6 times, and then everything always falls apart no matter how good the situation looked.

Dude can't even kill a capitan 1v1. :p
