High (and low) points of a week in the Crucible (reply)

Being a close game isn't just about the final score, it's about being within a stones throw of each other during the entire match.

But I won't deny that if it had been an equally close game where I performed poorly I probably would never have taken the time to post the video.

DOH! (reply)

Fixed. :)

(We even got comeback medals for it; we were losing pretty badly for a while.)

We just barely lost this one: (reply)

I enjoyed it too. By the weekend people really seemed to be hitting a groove and there were a bunch of fun and close games.

Okay, that was a really GOOD game (for you)... but how do you see that as a CLOSE match? (This was a close match. :) )

The less said about my time in Trials of O, The better.

I'd give my 2nd & 3rd char slots away for a Void Summoner (reply)

Laughing at the meme, not your misfortune ;p

Actually, a Void Jewel of Osiris would be fantastic in the Vault of Glass. I bet it chews right through Praetorians.

Got there again on my warlock. Void summoner. Ugggg. :-p

I love it when it's "Open door: 5 Thorn shots fly in" (reply)

I seem to get along with it just fine :) (reply)

Edit: Now I've actually watched your vid. I can categorically say I have NEVER played a team so tactically unaware on this map. I am totally jealous of all the players who walked through doors not shooting at you.

It did seem to go that way for a while, didn't it? I played an Iron Banner match on this same map this morning with the complete opposite results. Every single time a door opened, 3 grenades would come flying though, past my teammates, and stick to my face. It's like the enemy team was going out of their way to kill me in particular. Joys of PvP :)

No, in this case it's the evil of Cauldron. :)

I've had the occasional good game on it. Doesn't make it any less evil.

Have I told you how terrible a map Cauldron is? (reply)

Claude Errera — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:18:01 +0000

It wasn't your Fist of Havoc - it was the map.

The map is evil.

i can relate ;p (reply)

My Death From Above was that Last Nova Bomb all weekend (reply)

Ragashingo — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 21:49:22 +0000

Heh. Yep. He seemed to be lined up properly, certainly wasn't pointing straight into that rock to the right of the drop off... and yet... he would some how end up nuking the rock instead of the crowd down below. :p

When he asked how to properly use Death From Above I said something like, "Well... you just point it where you want it to go..."

I did this not just once, or twice, but three times this weekend while doing IB.

On the Cauldron I would run from B to C to do a fist of havok to stop the other team from capping c. However, I would jump up to do death from above and then promptly shoot into the rock right in from of me not killing a single person and then get shot up by 4 people. Talk about infuriating. Raga witnessed me do this twice in one match. This is one of those times I wish I recorded my gameplay just to have proof of my epic fails.

Apparently, every shot I do take as well. ;p (reply)

ZackDark — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 20:57:32 +0000

I kid, of course. Luckily, I have never missed a crucial Nova Bomb in PvE, just fun ones.

PvP, though...
