I guess bungie really....broke the ice.


In unrelated news, I'm sure glad that as heated as it gets here sometimes, it's not like it is over there.

Indeed. I tried it out for a few minutes this morning. I need to test it more, but I think the gunslinger's chain of woe, which speeds up reloads, makes the ammo regenerate faster. I don't know if it's true, but it felt that way. Either way, this is now my official boss fight sniper.

Correct. Doesn't reload, bullets just regen in chamber every 2-4? seconds or so with a max of 6.

Ice Breaker's signature feature is it's ammo regeneration. 1 round every 6 seconds. Up to a maximum of 6 rounds in the magazine. No reloads.

Bought it myself today. Seems like it'll come in handy during Strikes.

It made today's heroic story with juggler skull laughingly easy. Plus the gate lord dropped really fast with it. The only problem is that I can't use it and The Last Word together because they're both exotics.

During the raid too. Shoot off six shots on the templar / atheon while they are vulnerable, then by the time you can hurt them rolls around again you have more ammo.

Icebreaker regenerates ammo. You can't pick ammo up and you can't reload it. It get 6 shots, and regenerates those 6. You don't have to fire all 6 before they come back either. Plus it has a chance of returning a shot that misses directly to the magazine.

They regenerate fairly quickly too. It just felt like they regenerated even more quickly when chain of woe was active, but I need to test it more to see.

Plus kills cause the victim to explode. It's wonderful.

The IB was my first Exotic

by kornman00, Friday, October 10, 2014, 10:29 (3935 days ago) @ Revenant1988

And after I learned of Xur, I started dreading the day he started toting them, not because I assign allegiance to these so called "Earners" (the Cryptarch gave it to me :3), but because I knew that same day all I would be hearing in PvP/PvE would be "pah-chew-chew" sounds. I don't think people realize just how bad the recoil is with the IB. For me, it's really only a PvE weapon. Especially in VoG.

"Earning"

by Cody Miller @, Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Friday, October 10, 2014, 12:03 (3935 days ago) @ Revenant1988

I think it's a funny, and a bit sad to see people saying they "earned" their Ice Breaker through an engram.

Earn, verb \ˈərn\ - To acquire through merit.

If you think having a random number generator give you an item is earning it, then I think you need to speak to Inigo Montoya. One could just as easily say that I earned my Ice Breaker because I got 19 strange coins from completing the weekly strikes, which took skill.

This type of delusion is what perpetuates player investment systems.

This type of delusion is what perpetuates silly internet arguments.

I believe the relevant phrase is "fixed that for you"?

Though, in all honesty, I do think that it is more the general delusion found in some corners of the net than anything about the game itself.

In order to have enough Strange Coins by time Xur comes back to the tower, I have to at minimum play the Weekly Heroic Strike at level 28. That alone generates about half the Strange Coins I get. And let me tell you, playing a Heroic Strike at level 28 is no cakewalk when you're only a 26 or 27. HTupolev, Cyber-KN, and myself had a hard time with this week's strike. It took a good long while (unfortunately completion times aren't recorded, but it had to have taken us well over an hour), we had a combined death count of 24, I think there was a total party kill at least once or twice, and the boss was a pain in the ass. Now that's actually earning something.

As far as I'm concerned, if I bust my ass to obtain a bunch of Strange Coins to buy something from Xur, then I earned whatever I bought. It seems like some people think they "earned" something by basically winning the Destiny lottery. You can suck in Crucible and still sometimes get good stuff, but someone else can completely dominate and get jack squat. Being rewarded by the RNG isn't "earning" anything. I think Exotics should never be dropped randomly and should all have to earned by earning SCs to buy from Xur or, even better, by completing Exotic bounties (which should be awarded for beating particularly difficult missions or otherwise have some guarantee of obtaining after putting in some real effort) or other side quests. I remember in old-school Final Fantasy you often had to complete side quests or beat powerful boss monsters to get the best gear. Getting Cecil's best sword in FFIV required finding a hidden passage and beating a boss who's almost on par with the final boss in terms of difficulty. If you're insufficiently leveled or use a bad strategy, he will wipe your party out, but it's totally worth it.

I wouldn't be too upset if Exotic never dropped. I've never got anything I actually wanted froma random drop. On the other hand both Malagate and I were laughing and all smiles when he got Gjallahorn the other day as a random reward from the crucible. There is something to be said for congratulating a friend on getting something awesome even if they didn't really earn it. :)
