The Chaperone?
That was the Jolly Holiday quest right?
I'm trying to remember how I got that quest step completed.... hmmm... :thinking:

I got that fairly quickly after the quest dropped and it was my go to gun in crucible for a long time until the shotgun nerf.

Once I got used to hitting headshots it was extremely satisfying

It was a great gun til they ruined it, like so many others.

The suros shotguns in D2 are all like the chaperone, very satisfying to use.

That NF is madness, think i threw more grenades than i shot bullets out of all my guns.
A grenade had barely left my hand and another was ready to go again.
Felt like I was playing BF3

I love Crucible, but I have to say I absolutely detest Supremacy. I know all about how it's supposed to be more tactical and push for different play styles but I think it's the worst thing about PVP.

I seem to get 3 Supremacys for every Clash.

I find it grand in a team of 3 or 4 clan mates - cause we are on headsets and things are more focused, but when you have 2 or 3 blueberries more often than not you see them just straight up ignoring the crests - and that is when it becomes horrid.

I find it endlessly frustrating, because far too often I seem to wind up on a team that has little to no interest in capturing the tags. The number of times I've either gotten a mutual kill on an opponent, or they've killed me and a team mate finishes them off, only to see a team mate run by and ignoring the tags is absurd. At one point last week I got 3 games of Supremacy in a row, and had to turn off the game because I was just getting too annoyed.

I honestly think that quick play is heavily weighted towards Supremacy at the moment. It seems the be the only mode I get for the first couple of games, everytime. And I hate being dropped into an in-progress supremacy match, on a team that was a man down and about 30 crests down. No thanks. Return to Orbit. Search again. Fresh game. Supremacy. FUBungo.

Grayditch

It's a ****show on matchmaking alright. But even with 3 others on headsets, if we're winning and I'm doing well... I'm still not enjoying it. I just don't like it at all.

You can do so many great things in a match that count for nothing. I think I'll stick to competitive to avoid it. Shame because I love clash.

100%. I get three before I get to play Clash or Control.

It feels like al the changes the made to D2s PvP make Supremacy far less palatable and playable than it was in D1

The camping, weaker melees, slower overall map transversal, less speedy jump types, lack of CQC, scare ammo etc

I think the fact its now 4v4, the maps are bigger and very few offer good cqc along with the camping the game type has been ruined.

bring back running through tunnels with a shotty.

I don't mind supremacy. My kdr suffers however as my mind goes blank when I see a crest and just run at it.

I think supremacy is infinitely better than the cluster**** it was in D1 as the pace is slower

I do not like Supremacy, but, in D2, my dislike for it is a little less than it was in D1. It's a little more palatable as a 4's mode with the slower TTK, but I wish it wasn't as favoured in QP.

Grayditch

Yeah. I think I'd just be ok with it it if it didn't come up so much. I thought I was just being salty at first, but I got pretty decent at it and still don't like the game type.

Grayditch

I knew the Warlocks super reminded me of something.

Mitch Connor

More scheduled maintenance.... Tuesday from 5 to 8....so guess we can say all of Tuesday given recent experience...

Thet need to get far better at patching.

Dammit reset day, the best day of the week.


Pulled an exotic from a public event earlier that decrypted into Titan Boots.
Automatically reloads smgs when stowed
Didn't think much of it
On the way into work it occurred to me I can equip the Antiope and Mini Tool and never have to reload
Now it's all I think about

Josey Wales

The thing that annoys me about Supremacy is the fact that my team mates more often than not seem more inclined to run away from a Blue crest than collect it. Its like they don't understand the value of them.

That is one of the things I like about Exotics in this version - while an SMG reload perk sounds rubbish - if you lean into the perk it can offer a really fun and deadly playstyle. I like that the exotics don't appear to give a massive OP advantage (though the warlock gloves that give health on melee hits seem like that - not tried them) but really allow you to 100% to a certain playstyle and try something else out.

From the patch notes in the weekly update:
"Fixed an issue in which clan engrams would grant Trials of the Nine and raid rewards at only 10 Power "

I thought that was a design choice rather than a bug!

Yeah so did I
TBH it's been pretty easy to rank up so far and I was more than happy to be getting the gear. Kind of feel guilty I'm getting all this stuff for free

Do a raid then Gim. No jumping puzzles this time for you to stumble into.

Hmmm, I thought so too, but when you hover over the engram before collecting it, it shows a PL similar to the Crucible and NF ones. I thought THAT was the bug.

The Gauntlet would like a word. This IS Gim after all.

Not everyone needs to run, all he needs to due is sit down at the start. Should avoid falling into any open manholes that way.
