Nobody could have possibly foreseen this...

Also, Eris is selling a Sub-Zero bundle that comes with three Bright Engrams, the Sub-Zero ornament for your Coldheart, and 150 Bright dust.
It's neat, but overpriced.

She's also selling Tesla's Revenge for the Wardcliff Coil, which looks awesome, and All The Essentials for MIDA, which gives it a monochromatic look, but you'll still have to live with the shame of using a MIDA.

Speaking of Monochromatic, it's the shader that she has for sale, alongside Frumious Blue and Bumblebee.

And if you need to finish off your Optimacy set (or you want to copy my Warlock's fantastic fashion sense), she's finally selling the chestpiece, which looks great for every class.

And if you want the coolest Sparrow available, she's also selling Hastilude. Put the New Monarchy Regalia shader on it to make people hot under the collar...

And in a stunning twist Eris returns to the tower after vanishing? And is hired by Tess to work at Eververse? Wow!

What a load of shit.

I guess I misread the rules of the game—I thought that the losing factions would be able to buy their corresponding weapon for 50k and the winners got the discount. We can’t even buy anything from our house! Will we even be able to see those weapons again?
Factions are supposed to stand for individuality, not popularity.

So that means every time the winner will be a Crucible only killing machine, usually from Dead Orbit.

Bookies slide the odds to get bets on both sides all the time. I don't know how it would work, but a system which would encourage people to sign up for an underdog faction would help even things out. Perhaps your reward changes depending on when you signup. If you signup late for the clear winner, you won't get much. But if you signup for an underdog, your potential reward increases.

Of course, they should never have done that poll before signups. Of course people are going to go to Dead Orbit when a poll says 50% are going to join.

But all this… this is a lot of effort for something that isn't super enjoyable anyway. Better in theory I think.

I pledged to Dead Orbit so I could get the Scout Rifle. I then got the scout rifle, shot half a magazine and put it in my vault.

So basically what I'm saying is...


Ha ha ha my victory was pointless and you got nothing!!! MWAAAHAHAHA

They prefer faster reloads when they crouch. Thats WAY cooler! Right?

I totally agree, but I think it was more about shaders/armor than the Weaponf or alot of people. I was honestly torn as I want all the sets for my hunter!

I thought the point of shaders was to make things look interesting? I mean to his their own, but my titan would look terrible in black/gray/dark blue. Dark red and gold is sooooooo much cooler looking to me.

My Warlock is now purple. His helmet is too shiny because the purple shader I had was shiny, rather than matte. Other than that, I go for dark colors; makes it harder to pick me out at range on a PvP map. ;)

Yeah everyone thought the scout rifle would be the new Hung Jury. Too bad it was already obvious that it was a different archetype and the perks were lacking.

Yeah, I kinda wondered if that was a factor. Not sure why anyone would assume that all Dead Orbit guns would be similar to each other, especially across different games, but some might have anyway.

Or, maybe it really was all about armor/shaders. Personally, I only looked at the weapons though.

Of the 3 offerings, I see exactly nobody saying pulse rifles are their favorite, while scouts and ARs get all the love. Sidearms seem to be more valuable for PvP, and this close to launch I expect that's a smaller population. That plus the shaders... well, seems like no contest, and it pretty much was.

Pulse Rifles are sure to get some tweaks. I do have a little bit of a soft spot for the Graviton Lance, Agenda-5, and Three Graves. I've had fun with them in both PVE and PvP, but other things are just way more effective. I definitely miss Bad Juju and Red Death.

Also, Vigilence Wing is a PvP wrecking ball at mid range! But because it's a 5 shot Pulse Rifle it feels almost like a Auto-rifle/Full auto pulse

I wreck with Vigilance Wing and would probably call it my main PvP weapon, but I can't seem to do anything with Graviton Lance, Lincoln Green, or Three Graves. I may have been spoiled by Vigilance Wing, though. I'm pretty sure it was the first pulse rifle I tried using in PvP.

I think it's a seriously underrated gun in both PvP and PvE. I consistently can out shoot MIDA users, though they have advantage on the longer range maps.

Same thing with the Vigilance wing. It get's absolutely wrecked when it gets out of it's good range. It's not that it does slightly worse or anything, it basically stops working :-)

Graviton Lance has a perfect rate of fire for close-medium ranges in PvP. Does kinda throw me off at longer ranges more than a lot of other pulse rifles this time around. I adore the singularity on death. :)

I very much enjoy Graviton Lance and Nightshade. Still waiting on a Vigilance Wing though.

Pulse Rifles are in a pretty good spot IMO.
