On Thorn:
'It removes the 2 or 3 is it body shots to kill it previously had'
That's seriously worrying that the guy in charge isn't even sure on that.

He also wasn't sure about the changes made to heavy ammo drops.

'ugh, whatever Lars said'

Kinda funny in a way after the big deal Deej made about how closely they work together

so rezing is now harder, and the overshield weaker, so res sniping easier. WONDERFUL

But sniping in general harder, and less sniper ammo (and particularly much less 1KYS ammo).

One heavy spawn is a good move, shame they aren't going the whole hog and only have it spawn in one place. Should have kept the no special on spawn too

Rezing was silly tbf, in some situations it was giving a team an advantage for dying.

I hoped they would leave scout rifles alone and they did, I will take solace in that as the ole Blueberry picks up our teams heavy fro himself :P

That's one thing that'll be interesting to see anyway. I doubt there'll be much if any waiting around for groups to congregate on heavies when everyone on the opposing side will be rocking supers waiting for it

It's gonna change how matches are played at a very basic level

None of them have ever been top tier so that's expected! Sunsinger nerf is sensible, needed to hit the grenade or melee and it's the melee that's gotten it.

Mitch Connor

Apart from Sniper Rifles.... the changes to weapons most play for me.

Low ROF Pulses (I was a big messenger fan) improved - don't know if it will be enough, but its an improvement to a weapon type I like.

Suros with max range looks interesting.

Scouts untouched (apparently.... lets wait to the patch notes) so my Colovance and Jade play is still viable.

Will be interesting to see how the Stormcaller changes play out - assume kills will cost energy (like Arc blade use drains the super quicker).

Mitch Connor

also - the lack of a boost to the handcannons in terms of actual use, as opposed to just ammo, is poor imo. I find them utterly unusable now, when I used to be an avid user of them

Sounds like my time getting good with a fusion will be of benefit.

Wish they'd take those two massive maps, Moon and Mars, where you need a poxy sparrow to get from A to B.

And your wish was granted. First Light and Bastion are being removed.

Not a fan of Bastion, but I tend to do well on First Light - Jade Rabbit FTW.

Skyshock is staying.

They even buffed the energy drain for the VW. When they killed someone with it on the stream, the grenade re-charge went really quick.

I found that one weird also - " Here are more bullets that will not register even though you are aiming at someone's head"

Looks like I need to find myself a high stability fusion rifle.

Am I losing my mind, I haven't seen a "Combined Arms" (First Light, Bastion, Skyshock) map in Control for god knows how long?

And everyone is talking about them being "Removed"

Regular control had one of them. I played the moon one about 3 weeks ago, although I remember saying at the time that I hadn't played it in months.

Yeah, over the last few weeks been seeing a lot of them, especially SkyShock and First Light. Really should not be in Control rotation. Ever. Cathedral of Dusk is borderline in my opinion. I'd say its just about on the right side of the upper limit map size for control.

Generic Dreadhead

Anyway, I'm glad those other maps are back.... it'll hopefully mean less Cathedral of Suck, Bumtier, and $hitemto

I've decided to finally go an finish off the quest for the crucible weekly bounties, I had left it at the rumble part because I hate hate rumble(skirmish & salvage too) I'm up to the handcannon part now where you have to get 6kills per match.


I'm getting there!

Mitch Connor

I've played a good lot of Skyshock and First Light in the last couple of months. Bastion pops up the odd time too - but far less than the other two. I don't mind them, actually, as I have developed a general strat for keeping myself relatively safe on both maps.

Having B is fecking key to first light though - perching above it gives you good lines in three directions for defence.

No vault apps.
