Fuck, I'm with you man...the cheaters come out to play during IB. It's almost enough to make me not want to participate.

Reporting doesn't do to much I guess. I just went up against Waynelord something...3 matches all red reported 3 times

Yeah, there's no way one person reporting someone three times in a row even *should* do anything, lol. Can you imagine how abused that system would be if one person's report instantly got someone suspended/kicked/banned? D: It should flag his account as reported, nothing more. If other people report him then different story, but aside from maybe triggering Bungie's automated systems to take a closer look, it shouldn't do anything by itself...

Actually, from what I hear there is an agorythym within it, which is why you can report friendly or skilled ect as well as bad stuff...it basically marks that person out (if you've marked them bad to not show up in your matchmaking, and with good to make sure they show up in future matchmaking. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but when I researched it that's what came up.

When it comes to IB though, it's also quitters (becuase they know they aren't getting the points. I had an entire round ditch last night....everyone but me. and then the matchamking system slowly added new people. But I had the high score ect. simply by virtue of running around for at least 5 min all by myself. But yeah, if they know they aren'yt going to win the points, they ditch. Those MFers should be reported.

Peekaboo!

Common side effect of lag. It's annoying, but the door was probably open for him.

You definitely keep your legendary sword and once you get your first exotic sword you can buy the other 2 legendary swords, eventually getting all 3 exotics. FYI Raze-Lighter is one of my favourite weapons, it one shots most majors!

[QuickTidal]

This IB was pretty good to me actually. Got gauntlets and a helmet both of which were over 300...the two weapons on offer are not great but not awful. The Sniper rifle is good but doesn't have the perks my 1000-yard Stare does...and the rocket launcher (Tormund's Bane) is great, but for perks, attack, and overall greatness it can't touch my Ash Factory RL.

It's REALLY interesting to see IB played over Clash instead of Control. The typical match seems to be a lot of "let them come to us" or "get into a small space and take pot shots till people start falling...flank when necessary". Whereas Control is a LOT of running about...I find Clash is much more of a stand and fight game in IB. I still prefer Control IB...but Clash was better than Rift (for example). I wonder if they'll do one for Salvage or Elim next?

[QuickTidal]

Oh man, I had a bit of a fiasco last night. Was in IB for a few matches, and won the first 3 (once with the top score and K/D ratio)...but then I had one guy with a red bar (either poor connection [probable] or manipulating one [less probable]) and he was skipping around the screen and taking everyone out, and three other members of their team were on a group together and quite obviously communicating on chat to organize. The result was an utter and complete shitshow routing...I accepted that, reported the guy for the red line connection, and let the next match load up...and as we spawned onto the map I waited to watch my team run forward to see if that asshole was on my team. Everyone ran forward, and then there he is, and he stands in front of me looking at me. So I melee'd his face and he ran off...but I was so pissed he stood there looking at me that I fired at him as he ran to let him know I was ticked, and he turned and started to come back...so I went to space before he could reach me. LOL

Gods, I should not have let it get to me, but I was like "You're on a HORRIBLY shitty connection, you're skipping around the map, and you have the balls to stare me down? Fuck that shit."

Grr it's so maddening trying for Arc cloak! Everyone kills him 1st most times.

I usually go stand where he will spawn and hack away with my word.

I go to Void and wave and dance to try to attract attention .

If you're really stuck, send a PSN message to your fireteam with "I need cloak" or something. If they are not dicks, they'll let you grab it. And if they do, but they need it as well, you should run it again with them to let them get one.

Been giving it a rest between plays over the last few weeks...which helps with my sometimes ragequit nature about it.

But yeah, night before last I was just trying to complete the last of Shaxx's weekly PVP bounties, and all I needed was ONE Skirmish win...and I played 5 matches, and lost every one. In two of them, one guy on the other team was just an annihilator...so I get that we lost, but the other three matches were because my team kept Leeroy Jenkins-ing into the melee and getting smoked...leaving me on my own facing three guys who can essentially chase me down with reckless abandon.

Big update coming early April. New missions,strike, gear, light level. The pic on site has Taken gear for guardians! Looks cool like that I think. I think IB is next Tuesday.

Sweet news! Thanks man

Still no word yet on if IB is tomorrow even though it ll be the normal 28 day mark. Hmm I'm wondering if it's possible they ll skip it till after the Apr 12th update for the new lvl numbers? Maybe they ll give us SRL instead for another 3weeks till 12th?

Ed: then again that's another event that'd be better left till after 12th for higher gear... I bet we get nothing tomorrow

I'd llike to see IB again, but I'm okay if not with the April update coming.

Gah I'm playing IB and all I want to do is turn it off and play Dark Souls. I keep saying to myself this gear is moot in 2 weeks so why do my normal grind? I'm in a tuff spot. DS has made me put this game for over a week which blows my mind.

I'll check it out tonight and grind for the gear. I'll say I won't, but we know I will. LOL. Like an addict.

I'm glad to have finally gone and leveled up my Titan over the last week. So I'm close to have all three characters at 40 with solid gear.

[QuickTidal]

Jeebus effing!!! I just got dropped into not one but TWO PVP matches already underway onto the losing side. My rage level went from nonexistent to fucking eleven. Goddamit I hate when the matchmaking does that.

Briar King, on 05 April 2016 - 12:48 AM, said:

Well Scott I can say that was the worst IB to date! They gave me 310-312 gear. I did get the auto rifle at 318 but it has shit perks. Waste of a week for sure....

I did not even get a chance to participate. We've had too much going on. I had a few chances to play late in the game on sat, but didn't even bother with IB since I'd not have got anywhere. Good to now I didn't miss much. Lol!

[QuickTidal]

Yeah, I'm excited about the 12th. The new stuff sounds good. Hope it's a big update.

[QuickTidal]

Havent looked yet. Will check it out tonight.

[QuickTidal]

I won't even be able to see it tonight, as I've got an event toight to attend, but I'll check it out tomorrow for sure.

What's up with the weird new armor that glows? I like it, but I dislike how I have to use something else to infuse it to a decent level.

I also got a weird glowing ship. Which is cool.

Man, I spent about half last night in PVP against teams and it was just a shitshow. I actually threw my controller at one point. 8 times out of 10 a random selection of team around me can play control well....but those other two times and ESPECIALLY when facing a team....it's just a complete mess. No matter how hard I fight, or how well I THINK we might be doing....I look down and see the other team is pulling hard away from us and I'm like WTF!

But yeah, basically fuck teams. LOL

[QuickTidal]

Xur is selling Bad Juju!!!!! This gun is the tits!

I saw you were playing Control quite a bit today. Any luck winning? I'm trying to get my FWC exotic and in 3 days time I've been on 5 winning teams... Wtf! I can't believe it's taking this long and I still got 5 wins to go... Crazy.

It was on and off wins and losses. No streaks.

Though I will admit I was getting pissed off with the connectivity of people over the weekend. I played in a lot of matches where everyone's connection was cruddy due to one or two people. Ugh.

And now that my Titan is maxed to lvl-40 (finally, I'd left him at like lvl-14 for months and months) I find that while I like him...the fist of havoc is not as powerful as it always seemed to be from the other side when I played as my Warlock and against Titans. Like I'll fist down on a bunch of guys taking a control point and as long as they jump slightly in the air they can escape it...and I'm left trying to take them out after the fact. Which feels redundant. I feel like anyone standing on or ABOVE a control point when I bring the fist down, should get taken out. That's probably me being nitpicky though.

I'm SUPER pissed that the new Prison of Elders is fireteam of 3 only. That pisses me WAY off. Like you, being a lone wolf screws us yet again. Bunch a bullshit if you ask me.
