In The Meantime... (Destiny)

Upgrading the damage level of your weapon has zero effect in Crucible with the exception of the Iron Banner.

That's just impossible! All the upgrades for a gun are featured in the multiplayer. The same thing goes for armor, too! I have a Hunter alternate, and the combination of my armor and my subclass allows my Blink Strike to literally charge in less than a second. Of course, it doesn't do ANY damage in Crucible, but that might be why. My point being, weapon upgrades(the three shells in rocket launchers, the grenade/melee cooldown effects, the extra shot in the Pocket Infinity) are all there, PvP or not. There's no way that the Crucible is just skipping those power upgrades.

"Oh, we're gonna give them Firefly on this, let them have explosive rounds on that and just nix any attack upgrades." How much sense does that make?

You are not forced to play Destiny. (Are you?!)

You're absolutely right, I'm not. However, I find the single player, or PvE I guess--extremely enjoyable. Honestly some of the most fun I've ever had gaming. However, getting popular weapons--the aforementioned one-hit-kill weapons--require you to earn hundreds(thousands if you plan on getting more than one) of Crucible marks, obviously only obtainable through Crucible. Two per Word-filled-game is insufferable. No, I'm not forced to play Destiny. I do it by choice. But through that, I am forced to step into Crucible in order to have a slight chance of (not) getting something I want, or even need. Are you forced to buy the DLC? No. But you can't do the Daily or Weekly anymore, can you?

(well, Bungie fixed that, but regardless...)

Or get any of the new weapons.

I'm beginning to think of you as the boy who cried F-bomb.

Yeah, I'm crying out for attention. Everybody look at what I'm doin'!

Git gud

Who the hell are you? Let's pretend that that's English and assume you mean to say "Get good".

I am good. Nearly every team game I play, I get either "The Best Around" or "On The Bright Side", much like I did in Halo. I don't get everything I want like all the [REDACTED], but I still fight and end up high on the pyramid. But I've said it before: If you want to "git gud" at multiplayer, you have to "git gud" weapons, and to "git gud" weapons, you have to "git gud" at multiplayer. It's circular logic.

Regardless, I might just throw these exotic bounties away. Nothing good about Exotic weapons, am I right?
