I never thought an activity would make me want to [b]cut the webbings of my toes with copier paper[/b], and yet, here is [i]Rift on [b]Cathedral of Dusk[/b][/i] proving me wrong.
I...I even played it solo. [i]Once.[/i] Because that's all it took to turn my frown [b][i]further[/i][/b] down, then put it through the [b]SRL[/b] fans, deform its spire and gift it to the Architects.
Months ago, when [b]Clash[/b] was the IB activity, I thought to myself: [quote]Cool! I hope they never have Rift as Iron Banner, though. Pshh, why would they even, that wouldn't make sense. I've seen Icebreaker nerfs that make more sense than that.[/quote]Well, cover me in honey and call me Sally, [b][i]IT'S RIFT!![/i][/b] Which isn't a [b][i]bad[/i][/b] thing, unless winning is your objective. To further rub salt into my oriface, [b][i]Cathedral of Dusk.[/i][/b] <--- That sentence doesn't even finish properly, nor does it need to. Simply; [i]because Cathedral of Dusk.[/i]
With the cherry on the -!wecantevencensorthisword-! cake, I now have to [b]LFG[/b] for Iron Banner. [b][i]FOR IRON BANNER.[/i][/b] I have 10 pages of friends I've acquired over Y1 of Destiny. Guess how many were online?
[spoiler]2.[/spoiler][spoiler]2 people, not two pages.[/spoiler]
[b][i]So,[/i][/b] LFG it is. LFG isn't ready for me.
My witty overly-suggestive banter mixed with my [b][i]very[/i][/b] inconsistent [b]1.0 K/D[/b] mixed with the sporadic loud shrieking that living with a cat and a woman entails tends to put people off. Or, at least confuse them.
So, [b][i]*raises glass*[/i][/b] this one's to you, [i]Cathedral of Dusk.[/i] May your match timers run out, and your participants have John Cena legs.

I call it catheter of ducks

Cathedral of dusk games are won in the first 60sec Didnt get to the spark first? Just pull out your ghost and leave, the games already over
-
Dying means you'll be 200 metres from the enemy Rift and 100+ from heavy on that map when you eventually respawn. When does everyone get extra sweaty and increase the chances of getting ganked? :)
-
As much as I hate the map, it's so easy to score on. Plus... Tripmines in the top hallways before the rift. Glorious.
-
Cathedral of Dusk would be quite a good SRL map =D
-
I've yet to play on that map this IB, weird stuff o_O
-
your statement is invalid since there is never a tie game on any game type so therefore 1 team must win so at most you would have a harder time winning ........*mic dropped*
-
then your not running that map the right way Cathedral of Dusk is a great Rift map
-
I hate all the Taken king maps.
-
Horrible map period
-
I've never been a fan of this map at all. Looks cool but the architecture makes it easy for one to to get stuck on that weird crusty crap that you find on the bottom of the curved walls. Control? Not so bad. Clash? Ok, I can take it. But Rift? Oh to hell with this. It is way too easy to camp spawns with a machine gun when Rift is involved.

Did that petition to summon sparrows on Cathedral of Dusk make headway?

Edited by KidSixXx: 1/29/2016 3:56:10 PMIt is tough to get wins on this map but I actually enjoy the layout. Plenty of ambush points and lots of room to use for misdirection cues if you have a savvy fireteam. 3 people go left, 2 people go right and the spark runner crouches until someone tells him the Rift is clear. Enjoy the chaos when the defending team's motion trackers show red in all directions. By the time the other team figures out which direction your spark runner is making his approach from, he's already at the rift and it is probably too late to stop him. All of your tactics are for naught if you get stuck with a passive team that refuses to capture the spark or worse, does not even bother to contest the spark's spawn point.

"Cover me in honey, and call me Sally" Lmaooooo
-
Ponethepoon still doing the good work
-
Cathedral is awful. Can't stand it.
-
Edited by A Stupid Person: 1/29/2016 2:57:38 PMCoD is the new anomaly. And memento... -blam!- memento
-
I have already perfected my own solution, I have refused to play Iron banner this time around until this insanity is rescinded
-
None... Destinys pvp takes little skill....
-
Cathedral of dusk and maps this size and bigger are pointless on 6, vs 6 matchmaking. No map should require your sparrow just to get around. If game sizes won't change, why bother with maps this size??
-
Love Cathedral, still don't get why people complain about it.
-
I hope it's trials map. I do great on that map.
-
Edited by Brokenspade: 1/29/2016 5:12:13 AMThe cathedral needs a central lane. Like a tunnel running straight north to south with two side exits pointing east and west. (A cross shape; with a few bits of cover in it) That would make it a [i]bit[/i] more bearable. Every way, as it stands, is the long way around.

Has anyone have thieves den for rift
-
Literally everyone I've played with feels this way about this map. Won 2 matches yesterday on it but only when we had 6 and they didn't
-
That's actually my favorite map for rift. Big enough to make changes but still has two fast routes with plenty of exits
