By Random Ass Username Go To PostThe exotic armor one or which nerf specifically pissed you off?
did you see all the nerfs?
basically killing Whisper, killing sleeper, killing exotics that give back super
I'm not actually that mad about the supers on their own--I'm mad at the fact that they keep finding ways to do shit like this without addressing other issues. There are so many exotics in the dirt. And this entire season showed that even with "OP" weapons, the experience was perfectly balanced for these guardians that were finally meeting the power fantasy. Even with this crazy shit zero hour is not a walk in the park, people still die often in bergusia forge, a Scorge clear isn't guaranteed, and reckoning is BUILT around the idea that players have access to the OP skills.
So now we're just gonna walk it back because they don't want to create encounters that take that level of power into account anymore? Why not just throw in more mechanics and enemies that can actually drain super energy, or feature more wildly moving crit spots for example? It's like they want everything perfectly in line for the same boring raid and strike mechanics we've seen forever.
You see this thread? i laughed so hard.

I kept getting Mechineer Sleeves a few weeks back every damn exotic and you know how rare exotics are too now, and I was like "fuck me."
Honestly I agree with that OP so hard. Nerf good shit so I can wear what exactly? Useless shit?
I'm howling at the idea of that Reckoning Bridge with a nerfed Rigs, whew.
Lately I've just been blown away by the PVP gatekeeping. AoS is strong af it's true but at least everyone could get that. I go into a game it's just OHK sniping bullshit or Grenade Launchers that can fill the secondary slot bullshit and have ridiculous amount of ammo. Shit sucks. Ain't nobody want to play this trash.

I'm laughing pretty hard at how people were convinced the separation from Activision was going to mean good decisions from here on out. They really think nerfing all the useful exotics is the answer to getting people to use some fucking arms that reload sidearms faster. Whew. You can't even call this one a move for the streamers, it's just dumb all around.
I still auto-delete sidearms and anything with sidearm perks. I hate them on console.
They're little mini-snipers on PC, so I actually used one there, but.. I still don't know where they're supposed to be in the sandbox next to Handcannons. They're basically the Halo 2 Pistol of the series

ive tried like 10 different pickup groups for zero hour heroic and its all turned out shit
the issue with whisper is if the ammo economy decides to be shit, or if someone misses a shot, things get fukt up real quick
i don't miss with tractor cannon and i one shot groups of shielded sniper bots, and if they aren't one shot they are about to be when I switch to already proc'd recluse to finish it off
relying on these nubs to consistently hit whisper shots on a literal warping boss is really unlikely to be efficient

Dude use your arbalest rather than the tractor cannon. Get some secondary scavenger gear. Pops those shanks right down.

A friend wanted to play Destiny 1 so I was playing with him on PS4 tonight. He's actually been playing the missions in order, and his reaction to when he finally got to Taken King and the game just reboots mid questline was a great moment
"The vanguard suddenly started actually talking! and have personalities!"
"The vanguard suddenly started actually talking! and have personalities!"
just failed another zero hour heroic, this time with basically everything dead including boss but there were a few ads alive so it ended anyway
smhhhhhhh
smhhhhhhh
I think I'm just over it. By the time I do all the heroics for the catalyst who's gonna care about that weapon. Too much work. Game is boring.

I haven't played in days, I'd rather garden. That's how little shit there is to do. Last thing I did was log in to get some shit from Xur and the asshole gave me the prospector off my fated. Logged off.
i really should have found out about this cheese for heroic ZO earlier
did the arc configuration as well...but i don't know what in the fuck compels bungie to make shit like that

I was gone for a few weeks. Came back. Was winter though. Summer I have shit going on. Also I'm trying to fathom the idea of doing pve without rigs yuck.
i mean i came back for arbalest, got that and logged off, came back for outbreak perfected + catalyst, and then its right back in the bushes
the real test will be season of opulence...i don't know if I have the energy to grind 50 power levels again

I don't even know why you're repeating that heroic over and over Phaze. Did it once and then they were like nah you gotta repeat this 4 more times, eh fuck that. More of that "excellent" time gatekeeping shit to keep people logging in. Fuck it. They don't know or care what they're doing over there. Laughs all around this crap would improve after Activision cut ties but I never believed it anyway.

i'm a sucker for a great pulse rifle--the catalyst seems to be alright. It's possible it'll be the DPS weapon for the next raid strangely enough.
By reilo Go To Postwow the moon wow they always get the moon right wow
tbh it might be the perfect expansion for a break if you're a little exhausted by the end game this year...which I am. Opulence, Jokers Wild and Black Armory back to back to back has been a hell of a grind.
QOL changes sound wonderful...transmog, and going in more of an RPG direction, but fighting literal shadow bosses of all the old bosses sounds like an actual filler episode.

By Random Ass Username Go To PostI will never get their obsession with platforming. I just wanna fire rounds into things.
division 2 raid had me actually really really feeling a lot better about Destiny 2's vertical spaces and how much more that offers the game in general tbh
yea, platforming can be kind of annoying, but holy shit division 2 without any jumping really limits what the fuck you can do in that game creatively
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postdivision 2 raid had me actually really really feeling a lot better about Destiny 2's vertical spaces and how much more that offers the game in general tbhI don't even mind jumping so much but it's just usually done in a way where it's these weird gauntlets instead of having vertical space you can take advantage of in a given space.

Making the players jump is used as a crutch to inflate the difficulty of boss levels. Bungie just loves Metroidvania too much.
Guess I'm gonna be using my PS4 chars on PC and Xbox now. Kinda kills any urge to play the PC version until character sync goes live though if all my PC chars are just gonna end up nuked, but it's so much better this way
I ain't even clicking because they aren't going to bring me back in without first making the loot system sane again.

They're getting kinda close man. Ngl
i would like pvp to not be shit and i'd probably hop in. they said they're working on it but THEY ALWAYS SAY THAT
PVP basically been abandoned for months imo. Them even addressing it is an improvement - the long-standing opinion was that PVP was about to be cancelled or left to rot lol
I'll probably come back right before shadowkeep.

I suspect PvP maps were sat on to prevent any more from becoming locked to Sony for a year to wait out the contract. It's clear multiple maps are done and ready to go.

how does this happen
By Smokey Go To Posthow does this happenBecause when it comes to pve shooters, destiny doesn't ever get any consistent competition - and when it does it only leads to them cooking up some good stuff for people to come back to after they finish whatever new game had their attention.
It's the breadwinner tbh
PVP can be good, but their pvp team was definitely sniffing their own farts while flirting with esports bullshit. Those leads are gone now thankfully. The game has changed a lot since PVP was last balanced properly.
PVP, lol where do I start?
P2P? lol.
The breakdown of playlists which has been utter shit in D2? Quickplay, Comp, a rotating playlist and rumble.
Comp is some nonladder ladder where you can and will matchmake people at the top who will stomp you and you'll lose points for the L even if you just started. Someone quits and you're stuck with an L. If you quit you lose even more points. Least that's how it started, I think they made the matchmaking a bit better but lol, wont save you if the folks havent hit their top rank yet, best not play comp at the beginning of the season. I just don't period. The gametypes within comp are utter garbage especially if you do get quitters: 4 man control, countdown, elimination slayer with a bunch of rounds. Can't even just wave a white flag neither, gotta sit through bullshit, waste your time and get gatekept and your rank shat on by people who already earned the best weapons, the whole point of ever going in there to start with, quest steps.
Then there is quickplay which by all accounts isn't, especially on PC, and can be more sweaty than a match of comp.
Rumble (FFA) is dumb considering the game has stunted individual against many. I haven't fucked with Breakthrough, seems garbage the last time I played it. Supremacy I'm good at so I'm biased but it's whatever. Control is always a pile of crap to me since there's no incentive to defend points so all you get is literally roving bands of teams circling the map. Iron Banner is finally getting back to its roots of people who've geared the hell up can go stomp on noobs but its always control and with a shitty twist that allows for more snowballing, yawn. Doubles is just 2v2. Mayhem is even sweaty garbage now (it's just supers and abilities up real quick) but it's just a kill game. Clash shows up sometimes in quickplay and comp, unfortunately it doesn't have its own playlist so one must suffer through the most tedious objective gametypes just to knock out their daily and weekly bounties.
Then we get to the maps. Well the game started out 4v4 instead of 6v6 and with some maps it really shows. 6v6 has no business being on the Burnout that's for sure. Then there's the spawns being shit especially for control on The Dead Cliffs. A couple maps you can sit on folks spawn points (also Meltdown, Midtown, Emperor's Respite) while they just zone into a back area bloodbath. For all its PVE you must jump platforming, going vertical in pvp is pretty much a death sentence even if you're supered up. Maps barely have any verticality to take advantage of and some of the sight lines ensure just getting clipped by one shot snipers you can't even see with no other ways of getting around the map (fuck Convergence) and firing on them? The one time the game's bullshit flinch should be working in your favor fucking doesn't.
For my next rant I'll cover the sandbox, pinnacle weapons, heavy distribution and other stupid shit.
