I sometimes use Y1 weapons (PvP) just because i like them. It doesn't mean that i don't know how to use the Y2 weapons..
Yesterday i was playing crimson and i used the thorn just because i haven't played with it in quite a while and to complete the bounty where u have to make kills with different weapons. We were on round three when i got a message from the opponents saying, scrub no skill thornbitch...
I was like wtf dude get a fking life.. first it's for the bounty and second so what if i use thorn (he was playing icebreaker)... It takes no skill?? The weapon doesn't fire by itself.. U still need to aim and shoot and fking hit the target.. It's not like the weapons is aiming itself and killing sh*t while i just run circles...
The bit*hing part of this community needs to stfu and get a life.. Nobody ever complained when they were killing shit with the gjallarhorn that it's too OP... What do people wanna see, Ban of year one weapons and the by far OP weapons now?? Then what?? There will always be weapons better then other weapons. Fking deal with it or ask Bungie to delete all the weapons but one in PvP. That way no weapon will be OP... No fking wonder we had so many OP weapons during certain months.

1999 vs 325 in the (i'll admit biased) poll. I have been trying some Y1 weapons in the trials last weekend and i've come across a lot of players doing the same. Ice breaker was a favorite and of course Thorn. When looking at the map I still picked my Mida, since is I believe more effective then the Thorn because most games were played on range. Equipping a sidearm and switching to a sniper was also popular. I also have to a admit we had some encouters that were really laggy... They just didn't die... Image u Fist of havok someone with the titan and they just run away like u slided in istead of using ur super...
Hope u guys had fun with the Y1 weapons in Crimson Doubles, I know I had a blast.. Enjoy your 320 ghosts guys and I can't wait on more info about the large dlc later this year and the sequal of destiny in 2017!!!
IT'S finally confirmed!! (just wonder if we will have to say goodbye forever to our atm Y1 weapons) What do you guys think/speculate??

Thorn is my favorite hand cannon. Even without its deadly effects, the sights and the way it handles are so good. Yet, the overwhelming hate for this gun makes me hesitant to use it in my very, very limited PvP excursions. (I still have fun with it in PvE). I figure that if I lose to a Thorn user, I can do one of two things: equip my own Thorn or get better. It is only a game. Have fun your way.
-
Its funny to use the Y1 weapons again. IB is a little cheap but fun to use again anyone try the vex
-
If I see a thorn I whip out my necrochasm and make u cry that u ever pulled it out
-
Felwinters with range finder...
-
I'm a cry baby because people play with y1 weapons.......also I hate fun and puppies
-
I dusted off my y1 warlock (haven't year two'd yet... Still was light 32), and ran crucible with what weapons I still had equipped. Vision (& Gally of course, but who cares). Wrecked with Vision. I forgot how much I loved that gun...
-
I don't know if I ever ran across you in the crucible, but if I did, and if you Thorned me, I promise I cursed you out for being an effing thorn fag...but, I curse out anyone who kills me. :) Man, you want to dust off the ole year 1 weapons? Screw what anyone else thinks...those are your guns that you earned, and if makes the lil sissies that currently patrol the crucible cry...even better. My year 1 set up was Thorn, the OG Felwinters, and the Hunger of Crota, you make me want to pull all of them out of the vault.
-
I used vex in a close combat match before in y2, and I came out on top of my team. Then I was messaged to git gut scrub...
-
New PvP challenge: 1. Find an opponent with a sword 2. Equip Gjallarhorn 3. Have one guy with a sword 4. Reenact Crota's boss fight

Edited by Deum: 2/13/2016 9:17:17 PMI just hate seeing Felwinters I dont think you any less of a person I just dont want to play with you My only problem is people using weapons for the sake of, this weapon makes improbbable of me being outgunned, as opposed to this gun hits hard (Also not you in particular)
-
Edited by BOSS_TPH76: 2/13/2016 9:35:28 PMI don't care what year one gun you are using. Thorn however....deserves all the hate it gets. And everybody knows it's a crutch weapon. You play against two 0.6 k/d casuals as a multi flawless duo? You are somehow behind 4-1. What do you do? Change strategy? Do somehing smart for a change? Nope...whip out Thorn... happens each and every time when we finally play well because they think they will dominate. Good show.

I remember seeing your guardian take a dump in the tower. You didn't flush.

While I don't like Thorn or its DoT, I don't care if people use it. The gun I have an issue with more is The Last Word and it's ridiculous current overuse. It feels like it's back in the HoW days. This community is so broken and distraught over weapons that kill them. People get sour because they die to a gun they don't own, or that they get killed by someone better than them. I get mad on occasion about getting utterly stomped because of SBMM in the 3v3 and 2v2 playlists. I don't like the small playlists. I prefer lots of enemies. The chaos is fun. But I don't message people over a gun. However, I've gotten hate mail because of Necrochasm (only recently since I've only had it for a couple weeks. That darn crux..) and some other weapons before TTK. But I think it just shows the immaturity of the people who send the messages. It's one reason why I don't like the PvP portion of the game and try to avoid it. Every now and then, I get a burn for wanting to shoot some Guardians, but like I said, I play the big playlists. The smaller ones are where I run into the most competitive, overly sensitive, immature people. I've seen more disgraceful acts (like t-bagging) in the smaller playlists than I have in the bigger ones. I can understand being competitive, but they really need to balance weapons just a bit better and make a social playlist alongside standard crucible playlists. Like a ranked and an unranked. SBMM priority in ranked and non SBMM in the social. But I digress... Too many people get upset over stuff they need not. Too many immature people run amok in crucible. It's sad.

Im pretty sure that was because of thorn not y1 weapons, that gun gives me traumatic flashbacks.
-
I wont tell anyone what weapon they cant you. But there was something that i am neutral on. Someone said this: [quote]A weapon with 170 attack shouldnt be able to kill me in 1 hit in game modes where light matters. [/quote] He was referring to ToO and it did make me think about it. In a way this is true. If the weapon, icebreaker in this case, still kills a 315+ with 1 hit is kinda stupid. Why are there light levels then? This doesnt effect me personally since i dont like sweaty game modes. But it just raised a eyebrown so to speak. In normal crucible, light is turned off. So that it kills there in 1 hit is normal. You can even use white weapons and still be good.

I bought a thorn icebreaker queens bow and vex not for pvp but for pve fun
-
I'm with you - It's fun using Year 1 weapons in Year 2. The Vex is amazing in my opinion. Pulled it out again not too long ago and it melts
-
Use what you want, if you weren't supposed to use it, they would of banned it, couldn't care less what anybody else is using.
-
Thorn just brings back bad memories that I hoped would be over with ttk.
-
I dnt mind yr1 weapons, thorn is just a crutch and if u manage 2 hits requires no skill as I laid out a bunch using it. Crutch, plz see ghorn, ToM, spindle and we'll you know
-
You used those weapons and Rekt to smooth kd rate of .80? You get trashed no matter what year weapons ur using

[b]Update:[/b] Last night i played a few matches Crimson and all i used were Y1 guns. Atheons Epilogue, Vex Mythoclast, Messenger & Efrideet and those weapons recttttt... It was fun to use those again and actually do damage with them. I did get some hate mail tho but mostly from Y2 players who taught i was cheating because of the Epilogue... Did encouter a lot of last switches to icebreaker..[/quote] Thorn isn't the most op weapon anymore. Everyone is still hurting I guess from year 1, but thorn does now have plenty of counters to it. Any weapon that fires faster then it (necrochasm, mida, tlw, bad juju, doctrine of passing) will shred thorn users. If you keep your shots on target. And if you use mida , you pretty much are guaranteed a win. Mida shoots way faster then it, has high caliber rounds to stagger the guy with thorn, and it increase you speed making it that much harder to hit you. If the meta was slower I would understand, thorn is a gun that would do well in a slower pace meta, were there not that many weapons that fire faster then you can blink. I'm not saying thorn isn't a pain to deal with, just saying there are ways to beat a thorn user
-
im not telling you not to use it and i voted share your opinion, but you shouldnt be suprised at getting hatemail for thorn. It broke pvp for months on end and is still the easiest to use top tier gun.
-
got a good laugh getting hate messeges from killing people with my gjallarhorn
-
I love my cryptic dweller and three little words so much Ain't nobody taking those away from my pvp setup
-
Used thorn for the bounty, I actually hate the gun. I got like two or three kills with it one game and about eight with my sniper. Got the message "get a life thorn user"' and I replied that I coulda used TLW if he would have liked. And he said fine TLW can't 3 shot kill. I replied no...but it only took one shot from my sniper to dome you. And then he just replies ya good point. Wtf is the point of sending a message if you're just gonna give in lol.
