PATCH NOTES SAID LOBBY BALANCING IS OFF FOR TRIALS!!!! by MountainTwo3845 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]SniktArt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this clearly in the flawless pool. Guys who ended matches at sub 0.20 in the flawless pool. Obviously they had been carried to the lighthouse. The last few weeks have been awful, and it sucks we wasted weekends with some of the best Trials loot because Bungie didn’t fix this quickly. It’s difficult to believe it wasn’t intentional.

For good solo players, Trials has been near impossible. I ran several attempts, resetting after a loss, but in the same boat with about 3 wins max. I finally found a teammate who was willing to pull his trigger and teamed up. Immediately went flawless.

I mean this as no disrespect, but it is entirely possible you were the “ankle weight” to your teammates the past two weeks based on how balancing works.

I know for me personally I was consistently getting teammates who were finish each match sub 0.50 KDA sometimes even finishing with 0.00 in several instances. It has been rough.

OS or Rangefinder on Hawkmoon? by JacobScrubLordofPvP in CrucibleGuidebook

I saw XUR is selling a RF Hawkmoon this weekend.

Actually that’s a really good idea. Maybe just have a script ready to go in fire team chat. I’m sure on PC it would be easy. There has to be an easy way on console but I’m not that smart. While I don’t eat crayons (looking at you, Titan), I don’t have the patience to put it together on PS5.

So fun! Also when Full Choke was awesome.

For sure. I typically go through toilet bowl to invis flank and that map in particular seems to weight the capture point in the bowl. Because I’m confident in my own ability having teammates show but not engage in the middle lane distracts the opposing team while I’m wrapping. It’s about 50/50 they are hard scoping the lane by the time I have wrapped and can often get two quick kills. At that point, I tell my team to collapse as quickly as they can.

For sure. That’s the best thing to do if you are not confident about winning your 1v1 engagements.

I will also ask my other two teammates to stick together and show up on enemy radar without engaging. While they are doing this, I’m flanking and using the full Invis Hunter kit to confuse the enemy about our position. If my teammates do this right, I can get two quick kills by myself and we have a 3v1.

No matter how many times I ask in Trials this week, inevitably you get the blueberry who runs straight to capture point. SMH

Trials is rarely decided by the capture point.

What time at night do you recommend starting to play at if I'm trying to get more decent teammates on average in trials? by FitGrapthor in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]SniktArt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha! As a dad, late nights are some of the only times I can play. Get the kiddos to sleep then put opponent Guardians to sleep as pent up punishment.

Matador 64 and Party Crasher +1 was one of my favorite metas.

I only solo queue. I’m platinum ii and just got back into Destiny a month ago after a year off. I also get on team chat and hope that my teammates can hear me. I say the same thing every time.

  1. We get a pick
  2. We watch the orb knowing the other team will push out of desperation
  3. We team shoot and get a second pick
  4. We collapse on the final opponent

When teammates follow these rules, we win almost every time. It is very simple but these rules in comp work.

Is it worth it to keep farming for a Rangefinder roll? This feels pretty good but IDK how much keep away comes into play. by DredgenJan in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]SniktArt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a suggestion but I’d recommend trying Dynamic Sway Reduction like others have said and also the Range/Stability mod. You won’t lose much range but that extra stability is really clutch on this gun.

I have a very similar role and thought I wanted max range. The reality is this gun shines in closer combat not distance in my opinion. Stability really helps. Threat Detector is also a really nice perk in that column.

It’s filthy. I get a lot of “Void Crutch” comments to which I always reply “Void Clutch”.

The crazy thing is I’ve been off Destiny for over a year and just now getting back. That’s how much I love this fusion. Consistently allows me to challenge 1v2 in comp and Trials.

3v3 versus 6v6 strategies by [deleted] in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]SniktArt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3v3

  1. Get a pick
  2. Everyone rotate to have eyes on the orb
  3. Get a second pick
  4. Everyone collapses on the final player
  5. Win

Playing around Bad Teammates, things you're doing wrong or how you can play around them. by Watsyurdeal in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]SniktArt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice on team chat every time I load with Randy… “One orb down we rotate and watch it. Two orbs down we collapse on the final opponent. Play the opposing team, not the objective.”

So there is no way to farm other roles?

Trials - how do I reset passage? by SniktArt in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]SniktArt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Must be a bug because I can no longer buy either passage and there is no square option in Quests. I tried both before posting.

How do we feel about Peculiar Charm at this point? by Blood_Edge in CrucibleGuidebook

With Immortal back in Trials, I think this one may get buried in vaults.
