destinyfags in shambles

I bought the fun police bundle since it gives enough LUX to buy the season "pass" thing but won't be buying anything else. Sorry if the game shuts down because I didn't fund it enough...

Yep, I'll come back when and if they add more PvE adjacent stuff

So there's only two new quests, one for MIDA and one for Traxus?

I've been seeing lots of talk on twitter how everyone is already getting purps and golds because Night Marsh is overtuned. Fucking crazy honestly.

ENOUGH BLACK ON DARK GREY SKINS PLEASE

ITS OK TO HAVE COLOR, YOUR ENTIRE GAME LOOKS LIKE A MCDONALDS PLAY PLACE SO WHY CANT THE SHELLS HAVE COLOR???

Did they ever apply the 6 to 5 team reduction to regular Dire Marsh?

>>569302032
psssh... yew wuldent get it kid....

>>569301879
Apparently its piss easy.
You need nine keys in total to go to each of the three doors in Control (you'll see them, before you go to them you have UESC tape)
Go in fight a few zombies and then there's a small puzzle with blue boxes you'll see as you get deeper in, some have little flopy disc thingies that are out, shoot in order. Do this two or three times through all of the Control Tower.
Each "room" with these puzzle apparently drops purples and yellows. You don't even need to get to the end to get the yellows.

I'm not even the target audience for the game, I die anyway but its fustrating when I can't even just vibe and get melted by a full team of yellows already.

>silk didn't reset
Oh nice I can just get a jumpstart in the battlepass.

The way every error yesterday hits you with a message insisting your internet is the problem or you otherwise did something wrong, and the way Bungie shamelessly insists that players should record cheaters themselves and submit video evidence, despite implementing a dogshit anti cheat that triples the games boot up time. These things make me truly hope for total bungie rape

>>569301679
But they got those golds from the PvE mode where you can get compiler room tier loot for free

>>569302251
That's wacky, I guess their logic was giving people an opportunity to get high tier loot without committing to Cryo but I think they overdid it.

>>569302251
>>569301879
it is piss easy, especially the sponsored mode.
i think matchmaking is messed up, i never run into anyone on these maps. no other teams, no rooks nothing

>didn't lock off areas to stagger people's progression
>didn't employ some kind of reduced loot tiering across all maps on day 1 of the wipe
>instead they gave everyone fucking purple/blue-tier freekits for literally nothing
I've seen DayZ servers handle a wipe better

>>569302740
First time i am actually inclined to download this game since april.

When is full PvE Mode dropping again?

>>569303056
its not like the hobo phase of this game is particularly fun.

The cosmetics in this game are terrible. People really pay for that shit? Doesn't help most of the shells aren't that visually appealing. Even the faction NPCs are more interesting.

>>569303056
They're stuck between a rock and hard place. Progression being so slow drove a large amount of the playerbase off, so they've sped it up. The poorfag phase only lasts when gear drops are changed otherwise everyone already knows how to get everything and from where in the least time possible.
>>569303372
no sis you don't get it, the ugly designs is pure ludokino that will not make them money

>>569303312
It could be though if they put some more effort into it.

They are fine but i don't see the point when you basically don't see your character anyways.
Honestly the animated rabbit sticker on that new vandal skin has more value than the skin itself.

Any solo players here? How have your runs been going? You get any THERMODYNAMIC kills lately? I am doing okay. I get killed more often than I'd like because I am a shitter but I love the tension in solo and I enjoy fighting on my own two feet.

I thought that one Anon was exaggerating.
Did Perimeter and came across a full team of yellows; then I proceeded into Outpost and two minutes in we are merc'd by another full team of purple and yellows (one yellow, two purples)
It's certainly annoying. I'm not a sweat but I'm about average and its getting way to sweaty to quickly; we're, what, two days in?

i wonder how many free weeks they're gonna do throughout the year, i'm guessing once or twice per season considering the player count.

so when are they just giving up on the extraction shooter part? the gear progression is basically non-existent with night darsh. my entire stash is just purples and blues already

anyone wanna play? do some contracts maybe, im already tired of night marsh

Early game is so miserable and confusing for new players. It was even worse when the game launched a few months ago.
This game had (and maybe has) one of the most unappealing starts for a brand new player.

You should consider that shooting other people is cathartic and a much higher expression of skill than pve. but yeah I think later this season or next season they're doing some sort of pve experiment rather than just the current pvp-lite nonsense

Ok, how do I become useful playing Sentinel besides just not playing them?
I did one run where an Assassin kept shooting my cum goon trap instantly after I placed it but didn't say anything so I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong.
Also, when should I drop the turret to protect my team, just before or just after combat starts? The problem with it is that it grows NEON PURPLE for miles.

There's so much fucking potential but its wasted on PvP players when they can barely read let alone listen to a cutscene without pressing the skip button.

They really did buff how tenacious bots are at checking noises/chasing after you huh? Fucking recruits are hounding me through half the POI now and will actually chase me to the exterior.

Also it's kind of a shame but the weapons seem pretty samey, the visual design on those kind of sucks. Like again, the overall style is neat but there's very little in the way to distinguish one gun from another. So far anyway.

Why do you want a crossover when Bill Clinton is canon.

do you still get rep for other players contracts? Seems like only getting my own rep

Maybe I need to find someone to play the game with. I know 'fun with friends' is a low bar but I could probably enjoy it more communicating with someone.

any tips for playing in solo? I strongly prefer it but I am shit. I think dying is sometimes out of your hands though. Like sometimes there is just a mother fucker behind a rock and you happen to be walking past as he is peaking out and you die. The reverse is true too though. I killed a guy as he hopped up on a TAD and got animation locked. I happened to be looking out towards it and saw him.

>>569326291
>any tips for playing in solo?
Get your strength stat up so you can reliably one or two tap Recruits and Ghosts. If you get it high enough you can do the 3-hit combo on Grenadiers from behind and they fall over. Try not to sprint in POIs if you can help it, people will hear your fat ass timbs slamming onto the floor. Generally just try to play it quieter. If you're sprinting between POIs and you hear literally any sound its worth stopping and assessing the area for the exact reason you stated about guys being behind rocks.

The playercount is already slumping after 1 day kek

Coming from Destroyer, I was uncertain about playing Sentinel because of a lack movement abilities, but I think his kit really helps with the early season grey shields. You get to bunker down in a PoI, or discreetly approach knowing someone's inside. You can take things at your own pace and dictate encounters a little. It's got me thinking that Destroyer felt better to play later in the season, and I'm interested how Sentinel will turn out.

I just wish defender system was more useful for solo, it feels like it was built for cryo.

>>569326847
can you blame them? this game sucks

>>569326668
I was wondering about the cradle stats for solos. I was already strength maxxing. I did kill one guy with two knife heavies. He had a green shield but maybe it wasn't full. Is everyone investing in strength or it more preference?

>>569327006
The defense drone thing is still okay in solo if you wanted to dunk on a guarded exfil. Against players its not as useful because the engagements in solo is usually close range. I'd say the sentinel prime ability is slightly less useful than the destroyer prime against players. If you drop it anticipating a fight, its hard to fight you because it does buff some gun handling things.

I tried bros, but I just uninstalled after my third death of "random nigger in a window" while running towards extract, I love the graphics, the gunplay is fun, the systems are cool, but this is just another Hunt Showdown situation for me where I'll just get killed with zero chance to retaliate
If it gets a PvE mode I'll be the guy with 1000 hours on it, otherwise good luck sustaining any sort of player count I suppose

>>569327414
It's more preference IMO but if you're doing a lot of solo it does help quite a bit. I think a lot of people are also going in on the one that increases your Heat stat so they can sprint for longer and stuff.

I've seen a lot of console players doing the intro contracts that returning players don't get. Probably because sony put it on the front page

For steam, there's literally no advertisement on the store even letting people know that this game exists let alone is free. So probably a much smaller amount

Have they increased Stryder spawns or something? Been seeing lots of runners with them on Night Marsh

The new sponsored mode is basically a squad-based roguelite with metaprogression elements.

I have 1600+h in Hunt and I can say with absolute certainty that it would be utter dogshit as a PvE game without some insane fucking redesign or additions - basically making a new game. Ditto for Marathon.

that's lame, honestly i'm not liking the cradle so far and prefer S1's implants

All shells have different base stats, the cradle just adds stats on top. You'd know if you booted the game up and just looked

Going in naked is a better idea. This is worth less than nothing.

>>569333720
Shells still have different baseline stats, and implants still give you stats, they just moved the permanent stat boosts out of the faction upgrade trees and into the Cradle.

>>569318397
I think the skill of PvE is not aim but just understanding game tempo and how to get the drop on people. Maybe when you get to the top 1% skill becomes very tangible, but IF you are inclined to give yourself enough time, you’ll find that you can have fun with PvP. It’s not to say it’s not hard, but like riding a bike, you just need to find the feel for it. Knowing the maps, hiding spots, flanking routes and “meta” takes time but in time all of this knowledge makes skinning runners much more accessible than people realize.

>>569335902

>>569332493
>>569327865
Not gonna force you to keep playing, if it sucked it sucked. But statistically, you have to account for simple bad luck, even if you play effectively.
I don’t think you can play effectively in your first 3 rounds. You loot slow, you don’t know map events, etc. you wouldn’t have to be running to the final exfil or feel forced to take a risky exfil if the rest of your game went smoother.
Again, I won’t laugh at you, but I will explain why the game felt so rough or frustrating. 95% of fights is determined on who gets the drop on who. That is the part of the game you have to learn and if you don’t have the interest or patience or time, no sweat. Hopefully there can be a fun PvE mode for you to try out (honestly I think the experimental night marsh mode is perfectly suited for you)

My experience, they spawn in very scattered but clustered way. If you see one you will usually find another. For one, they aren’t hanging around UESC - so go where the UESC dare not tread.

I've ran dead through anomaly a few times our it in the swamps and still never saw one. Or if I saw one I didn't notice cause it's so fucking dark. The birds being fucking evil with red eyes and more demonic cawwing was kind of cool though and those weird things that shoot the little anomaly bullets at you.

Honestly, the cradle is a pretty good solution to loot hording.

>>569318397
whats different about this game is the sound and how important it is, most of the PvP encounters i had, i have always heard them first. Its just so important. Even fighting the bots you need to look around and be aware. Idk if you play solo i never touch that crap

Some of the times you die to rat/sniper bullshit

>>569336053
I'm sure you meant PvP instead of PvE to start with but yeah most people dramatically overrate aiming ability, being a certified member of the aiming community(tm) is completely unnecessary. If you REALLY suck so much at aiming it's a sensitivity issue, you haven't found what works for you and dialed it in right, but once you can put a crosshair on a target you're good to go. It's just about knowing where to be and when and how to use what you've got. Lining up the right shot is 100x more important than reflex aiming or anything, and that's all positioning and map knowledge.

ahhh thanks, was Z for PC. not the worst UI choice but I get it given how much clutter existed.

Wow so the buffs for the sidearm kinda made it Drang levels of silly. It always was fairly decent but giving it better aim assist and more range before drop off, less penalizing when shooting through flinch, like I'm not going to say it's broken but you could definitely fuck somebody up hard with it and not realize it. The 3 burst pistol isnt bad either, good multiplier it seems.

>>569327006
his entire kit was built for cryo and outpost

I've been shoving everything I get from sponsor night marsh into the weaveworms, since they made it even easier to upgrade and get gear there's no real loss losing a bunch greens and blues with the occasional purple week 1. Already at level 35 for them and it makes such a big difference already having my abilities at the start of a match and improved heat.

>casuals upset sweats steamroll a pve mode and are back to full gold in under 24 hours

Absolutely amazing turn of events, only Bungie could pull this off.

>literally can't see the new map

>>569340214
I really think that anything that guarantees good loot besides world events needs to be gated behind multi-run progression. Not instantly and consistently doable in a double digit percentage of runs

Like pinnacle chest in pinwheel makes no sense being as good as it is just because you took a quick loop of the map before you went upstairs. It's genuinely awful for the gear economy that one team on the map gets to loot it completely every single match

i'm a little bitch that doesn't like jumpscares so i'm straight up not having a good time on nightmarsh

sentinel seems only good for pve so far?

chartposters? taking the week off i see.

How are people doing the Complex attic on sponsored mode? You need the LIDAR scope which seems rare and you can only bring in a sponsored kit.

>>569340936
This guy gets it

Kiegler fucked everybody over by demanding the game fit his (cheaper) vision, freeing up more raises in the process to leadership.

Sentinel is so bad it's kinda ridiculous. I do think a giga-camp cuck character would be AIDS but this is just sad.

>>569347102
Nah, he's one of the few shells that can pull off a 1v3 against a competent trio. His ult is a bit too situational for anything other than cryo, but his tactical and radar trait is amazing

>>569311217
This isn't Cryo Archive.

>>569348275
yeah but half of the time the reason he has to 1v3 is because the second the fight started he ran into a room and started building a base like it's fortnite

>>569347809
They got booty blasted

>>569336610
I'm inclined to give it another go tomorrow, see if it pans out any differently. I'm not expecting to kill everyone like I'm a CoD main character but at least try to have a decent fight. Because I did enjoy the gameplay, the whole kit system, sponsors, etc. It's way more polished than I expected from nu-Bungie

Economy is royally fucked. Bungie might have managed to kill this game by just being too retarded with the most important part of extraction shooters: the wipe. Gold Mizzys and Gold Bullies already prolific, it's going to make Cryo fucking Hell right off the rip.

>>569320527
gave it a try
to be honest the game's aesthetic is good loading screen made me coom
though i was nothing but free food for veterans with giga rape guns and armor with a couple hundred hours

>>569350328
Idk why they started on a tuesday instead of a weekend honestly. I feel like if a bunch of people boot up the game on a work night with limited time they're going to get filtered much harder than if they had time to engage with the systems

>>569350928
Bungie couldn't make a successful launch if their company depended on it (it does).

>>569350895
If you just started you weren't even food for them. They took one look at your body and left everything on it

Why would they release a Duos only queue and then put it on Outpost and not Perimeter?

they're rushing to staple pve to this since hero shooter extraction pvp isn't appealing, but the problem isn't they didn't design a real pve to begin with. different flavors of humanoid robot with gun isn't engaging.

if only they used this game called Marathon way back when as a reference for Marathon

>>569351876
I'm hoping the Anomaly opens a big fuck off portal to Lhowon or something IDK how that would even make sense but this dripfeed of compiler/husks is really lame.

Tried it for free and it was better than I expected desu. It's just the art and the toxicity of the genre itself.

>>569352239
Am I retarded? You have to do the number sequence to get the loot room, right? And you get the second room by doing the 7 red buttons? Or are there 3 rooms?

>>569352484
no you just have to shoot whatever buttons light up and you get free loot, everything else is extra

>>569349136
Good drawn out fights aren’t common because of the nature of the game heavily rewarding the part who puts themselves in the best position for the fight. But on those occasions where you duke it out on an even footing…. Bliss. So good I can’t even be upset at ultimately losing those close exchanges. Anyways, I hope that you at least have some fun the next time you try it.

>>569352404
Toxicity can be addressed with just getting the right mindset and not having gear fear. It ain’t easy but marathon has done the best to address it.
Art style, yeah that’s personal preference. Hope you can learn to appreciate it but nothing is for everyone.

Bungie are idiots for doing this free week campaign, because once the week ends that the player numbers drops by even half that amount it will throw the game right back into a negative feedback loop in dwindling player numbers/optics.

>>569351876
>they're rushing to staple
Yes but they're still pretty far from it, season 2 is an experimental foray into PvE and depending on what sticks more (full pve or pvp lite) they will start developing the actual foundations for a pve mode through seasons 3 to 5, if the game is still alive for a one year anniversary only then we will see PvE as an actual thing

>>569351548
Hey alright

>>569351284
It's been outpost all day IIRC

Honestly, I'm having fun with the new experimental mode.

>>569352870
>Bungie are idiots for doing this free week campaign,
As opposed to what, start S2 with even shittier numbers and having it drop off even faster?

Do i just gotta wait for UESC commanders to show up?

>>569352952
>season 2 is an experimental foray into PvE and depending on what sticks more
The sponsored mode right now is just a gimmick for getting good gear for PvP for less risk. I just wanna play PvE with my friends and fight actually interesting enemies on interesting maps. If they slap a shitty game mode into the game and come to the realization that it's shit it's not because PvE itself is a bad idea or that nobody is interested.

>>569351298
*why
im tarded

>solos and duos can now fill into trios lobbies
Gonna be a complete shitshow when the event ends and rooks start spawning in as well. Why isn't this just the default game mode desu, like in Tarkov?

>>569353229
Realistically what they will do is stick with the maps we have and just develop more enemy types and pve only events for season 3 onwards

>>569352952
that's what i was getting at, it's gonna take a minimum of like a year to see any real pve mode with actual enemies that are distinct and interesting to fight.

considering a single compiler is a fucking boss despite being grunt enemies in the original, i'm not sure how they would incorporate the rest of the pfhor.

>>569353094
Yes. And the drop off would be slower. Suddenly losing 20k players in a day is worse than slowly losing 1k a day.

>>569353409
Honestly i think if the game somehow does crawl all the way to season 5 with like 5k players and they finish an actual PvE they will just relaunch the game as free to play and pump the brakes on the skins

Bit late in asking this now that everyone is talking S2, but have any of you experienced visual hallucinations on Cryo during the last day of S1 or before then? It only lasted for like 4 seconds and only ever happened once but while I was moving through a hall I think near tranquility my vision got all blurry and fucked. The visuals were reminiscent of that one scene in the music video where the Triage spawned back in on perimeter and saw the compiler that killed him.

>pve players just want to buy skins and walk around the map opening boxes and sorting items in menus
im camping exfils out of spite

>>569354401
lmao how will you do that in a pve mode retard. you wont be able to harm other runners.

>>569340601
>sometimes
pretty much always, I think the only thing I've ever even seen it from is the commander lockbox which only spawns 10 minutes in, and has always spawned by Quarantine for me.

Played three rounds with my friend we died twice after killing some guys and exfil'd once but didn't run into any other players.

>>569320839
Assassin solo on perimeter with a sniper. Trust.

game was objectively more fun when all free kits were green, this shit is ass

>>569355543
>>569353958
ignore that first reply, you were seeing the screen effect that happens when someone completes the final compiler step

The best way to enjoy the game is to just larp and do your own thing. Read codex, make up a story for your runner, talk shit on prox chat etc. Couldn't care less about if random twitch nigger has a vault full of golds.

>>569356132
BASED

Feels like I've hit a wall, I can't complete any objectives it seems. Been trying to kill a UESC Commander but I dont even know how to spawn him and went to extracts completely missing it. All the other contracts are similarly tedious shit like kill a bunch of runner or loot 20 boxes

>>569357154
Commanders will usually just spawn in when a POI gets reinforced. I know Perimeter will also just spawn a Commander randomly in the zone it seems as well.

Lots of them are dying looting the outskirts of the map, the runner zombies are exploding them.

That being said I assume they're gonna be way dangerous when they start hitting those blue upgrades will the runners are still in gray gear
