Check out them snipe and Doctrine skills!

The last play got real intense...

Well done; I hope the Lighthouse gave good rewards! Speaking of which, is that a Counterbalance Doctrine?

Indeed! RNGesus was kind enough to grant my request on my first Xbox Lighthouse of Year 2. :v

It was about time that RNG worked in my favor. :P

Remember when your little Jimmy was trapped in a fire and I saved him? or when your heart gave out from all those tanning pills and I revived you? What I'm saying is you should help me... for the fireman.

So ... let me ask the obvious question.

Which is harder, reaching the Lighthouse on the Xbox or reaching it on the PS4?

Congrats, BTW!

It was definitely harder for me on Xbox, for many reasons.

1. Controller difference - The LB and RB buttons on the standard xbox One Controller do not feel as natural as the PS4 IMO. Alot of times i found myself fumbling to get grenades or melees off. I got better, but as soon as I picked up my PS4 controller I could tell a big difference. This could just be because of preference.

2. Gear- I was only 301 for my trials run, which didn't affect MUCH but when going up against 318 players it was definitely noticeable. In addition, the best weapon I had was a 299 MIDA. My preferred weapon is The Last Word, which really compliments my playstyle. You can't just bull-rush players the same way with the MIDA...

3. Teamates- Since Trials Started, I have almost religiously played with Ottermack, Korny, and CRUELLegacey. Guardian for awhile as well. Rotating around, for several months, we all played together on Trials everyweekend. I can probably count on one hand a weekend that we played and did not go to the lighthouse. We grew together, and knew each others strengths and weaknesses. Even when CRUEL didn't have a mic, I had a good idea of what to expect him to do.

All that said, Squid, Korny, and Zero are great players, I just have to spend more time learning how they play and how I can compliment that to help the team. I tend to play alot more timidly, while they seemed alot more aggressive. By the end I started changing my tempo and coming out of my comfort zone.


All in all, I did not find the competition much different from PS4. Granted this is only my 4th Ticket so far on Xbox. Many more to come =]

Glad you guys were able to get there after I had to leave. Our run really fizzled out, I was just too distracted, and am still struggling with how to use my self-revive super most effectively.

It was alot of fun. I think we all forgot how to play at some point last night. I think if we play together more and I get some better gear we can consistently get there.

I may have to start playing again if this becomes a thing.
