Am I the only one w/o a decent roll on a 1000-yard stare? (Destiny)

by BeardFade ⌂, Portland, OR, Tuesday, December 29, 2015, 22:45 (3347 days ago)

So tired of this gun. They don't even need to aim and it's a head shot.

Never gotten a good roll on this gun.

Also, lag banner is worse than usual.

Today, about 50% of my matches I'm the only green bar in the room. Not cool.

For crucible, all you need is a good scope on that gun.

For snipers, shortgaze and ambush are the best.

Tell me about it.

Maybe two to three people each round are getting drops, nothing like last Iron Banner with Clash. I feel like they may have accidentally reverted Iron Banner in the last update.

you should have one?

Everyone is just using the quest reward firefly version.

According to bungie it's a flat 1.0 kdr though, it's used really heavily.

Remember, both the frequency and quality of the drops increases as you rank up. You shouldn't be seeing any IB drops at rank 0-1, class items start dropping at rank 2, some weapons and armor at 3 with more items having a chance to drop at 4 and 5.

Fine for me so far, but I rarely run into lag problems during IB. I played for about an hour this afternoon and ran into a single player with a sub-green bar connection. I'll see how it goes tonight.

I think you misread me. I literally mean there aren't drops, like the broken Iron Banner of before. Multiple times I saw only one person get one reward at the end. That means out of 12 possible drops, 2 per person, 11 of those drops didn't happen. This isn't a quality issue, I understand the ranking. This is a quantity issue, as in I'm literally not seeing drops.

Which quest is that, and is another gun offered at that time? I might have finished this quest so long ago and chosen a different weapon. I've certainly never rolled one with firefly.

The taken war: Earth questline hands it out.

I think they offer a havoc pigeon as the other option.

It rolls out at 250 light though, so it needs some loving before going into IB.

Naw, my roll sucks, too.

I should probably just use stillpiercer.

Oh, I understand now. I haven't seen that issue personally. Been playing for a couple of hours tonight, seeing the usual healthy amount of post-game drops, including some IB gear.

Played a few hours of Iron Banner with Slycrel and Vortech last night... wow. WOW. The lag was just INSANE. 4-6 red bar players in every single match (who often ended up at or near the top of the score board). Players bouncing and skipping around, teleporting, not taking damage, etc. It was by far the worst experience I've ever had with Destiny PvP in terms of connection quality.

You still have to aim....

by TheeChaos @, Wednesday, December 30, 2015, 19:29 (3346 days ago) @ BeardFade

You definitely have to aim, but everyone should have one from the quests.

I love mine, and it has crap rolls. The only good thing about it is snapshot and the ambush sight.

I don't know if I have a good roll, all I know is that I have Hidden Hand. I also have Partial Refund, which is great cause I get a ton of assists :-)

I also have Demotion... which is terrible because it does bonus damage to captains... wooo

Yeah, see I have a hard time getting 1 head shot, let alone three...

Mostly for PvE, I use it over black spindle...

but it works just fine in PvP too. I guess. My aiming skills are the problem there. :D
