Yea so I felt bad for Bungie. I came back after not playing since TFS. I bought all the DLCs. I have been forcing myself through EOF but no, that last mission they can go fuck themselves and die as a company I don't care anymore. I don't think I have ever played a cancerous mission ever in my life like this. It's almost like they were purposely trying to kill the game

I have no problem soloing stuff.">Graviton Spike is cool but intrinsic hunting is a snooze since Kepler sucks>I have no interest in LFG raiding Do I just uninstall? I feel like I'm done. I could finish Vesper Host. But that looks more complicated than most raids. It seems like the Revision Zero exotic mission but each player has half of the scanner mechanic. I'm just stumped why I should continue to log as a solo player. My bright dust is only below 1k so I can't even look forward to the daily rotation anymore.
>>571606093Thats why they need to be buffed because they need more variety

>>571607581I've thought about it hundreds of times, and I'm still amazed at them killing the franchise with fucking Stars War.
>>571608262Cold Snow Killer is the worst name I ever seen. How do you come up with that? "Watch out, I am a killer going to kill you in the snow" holy cringe
>>571608336
>>571608463its a shitpost. we ran coldsnow out of /dg/ several years ago
>>571608478
>>571606752I remember liking this DLC's campaign because despite it all it seemed interesting from a lore perspective despite all it's failings, little did I know what they'd do with Osiris and Saint-14.
If I close the game at the EOF last boss and start again tomorrow where does it start me? Please don't say I have to do the singularity shit again?
>>571608037I have it equipped at all times now just to bean on those who weren't there

>>571609250>>571609468>>571609661>>571609859>>571610082these are all from season of dawn but 90% of it is assets from CoO so i get what you meanalso no one would complain about the size if they just made all these areas in the patrol spaceCoO actually had a good amount of content its just that most of it was locked behind strikes/adventures/one time missionsas much as bungie said they have to reuse assets because it takes too much time to make new ones they really did love to spend years making bespoke assets that get used 1 time. and then deciding to delete it entirely from the gameand then use that to justify using the same gun model 10 times
is this The Roll? Don't think I'll bother farming a holofoil version
>>571610625no holofoil?glim
damn, with these numbers I'm sure Bungie is gonna go back to 1600+ developers very soonDestiny 3 is coming boys, TRVST THE PLAN
>>571611119its still slowly going downat first i thought it was stable but if you look closer its still fallingdid it stabilise last season?
>>571610572bungie should just be killed by sony and forgotten as a bad memory that heralded both a second golden age for the industry and a second industry crash>companies always have bad managementIts not really an inevitability because some gamedevs did go on to form their own fairly successful niche companies like certain affinity and saber interactive. You just cant have retards act like dutch vanderlin and refuse to listen to any arthur morgan types. That's when you know its over and its time to go elsewhere.
Progressing the story past final shape was such a mistake. I'm not going to pretend it wasn't an exponentially downwards curve since arrivals, but at least we could have ended it on a good note, and bungie could just call it with all the EoF and renegades content just minus the "plot".If destiny ever does get to continue it's plot we're going to have to keep going with this nine slop, absolutely grim.
Destiny is just going to suffer the same fate as myth: the fallen lords. Ending at 2 and being slowly forgotten. We only got 3, ODST, and Reach because microsoft forced bungo to legally. Activision was never the bad guy. If anything they were far too cucked and lenient with bungo, letting them worm out of doing their jobs.
>>571611328>>companies always have bad managementbungie was under good management when Microsoft had them on a leash so short they were walking on 2 legs
>>571611280It ever seems to stabilize, it just goes down each week. And we have 2.5 more months of this season to laugh at.
The excision community challenge that was created on Thursday of last week was completed on Friday of last week.
>>571611280>did it stabilise last season?It slowed down, but it was still falling by the end of last seasonBut we are already at the same point we were just before the launch of Season 2, a few weeks into itThere's still like 2 months until the next season, I thinkSo it's just gonna keep droppingI genuinely expect 5k peaks by the time Season 3 comes aroundAnd this time the Season 3 rebound is probably gonna be like 20kAnd then it'll go back to 5k in like a week or twoMarathon's current trajectory only leads down one path: RAPE
>>571610771What's the point of holofoils if their special ornaments are ugly as fuck 99% of the time? Also there is still some fuckery with those Arms Week holofoil guns that have topography map-styled skins. These skins were briefly disabled because they straight up crashed the game on consoles when previewed, now every time I try to preview a rocket launcher with this skin, I have a short game freeze and severe FPS dip on my PC. I genuinely don't know how it is possible to fuck up a gun skin like this.

I think I stumbled across doing the exotic quest stuff while running around the moon. Do you just kill the ad here and that's it, move on to the next node?
>>571609001Honestly, the worst part of this is that your only romance choices would've been:>New Character Specifically Made For The Dating Sim (identifies as the same gender as your character so it's always gay)>Nimbus (you get to experience the worst fucking dialogue in the entire history of the game)>Crow (actual character development)>something random for "the lulz" like a Servitor (95% of players choose it)And they'd just be a seasonal vendor where your rank reset dialogue is "Oh my god thanks senpai *kisses you*"

How easy are these missions to solo? If the power is 300* and I'm around 430, I should be able to breeze right trough it right? The reason I ask is that it's a Fireteam Ops, but there's no matchmaking

>>571614747i actually dont, i know why it's going down in general, but i'm not sure how come it's stable every week and then a significant portion of the playerbase leaves on tuesday. There's the maint and cryo, but do these just make people go away forever?
Is this week the final patch? Or will there be a couple more?
>>571614936more
>me with my Truth
>>571614912>go do endgame>lose all my shit>wait actually this sucksRepeat until empty playerbase.
>>571614912marathon is the epitome of cannibalismthere will always be a more hardcore playerand the most hardcore players will always ruin the game for people less hardcore than themselvesand the only way to play marathon is to be put in a pit with these peopleonce the game has been ruined for someone they quit
Man, what a truly awful playerbase.
>>571608657CoO despite its failings was short and sweet with far less filler compared to Shadowkeep or EoF.>>571611603Even then that was only the case around the time of Halo 3 - Reach. Halo 2's development was an absolute clusterfuck, with developers working on assets that wouldn't be implemented in the final game and severely scaling back the singleplayer and multiplayer. Jason Jones fucked off to work on some other game that never came out and there was no overall leadership on the project. Microsoft gave them the hard ultimatum of the game needing to be done by Winter 2004, it could not be released any later or it'd be competing against the Xbox 360, which was the right call to do and it wasn't MS's fault that Bungie put themselves in a situation where they'd be forced to go into crunch mode.
>>571610082Kepler could've worked if it wasn't Gimmickland. Idk why they'd remove our sparrow to be a little cuckball that doesn't traverse fast. Why they gave us Graviton Spike at the end of the expansion when we'd be fucking sick of it? I see it's potential as a Metroidvania. But Bungie doesn't have the sauce to pull it off with effort. There's hardly any wild life on this alien world and the humans talk to you like they're peanut's parents. Also isn't a public world so you're always alone and the quests always bug when you're in a fire team so it's best to not be together. Fuck Kepler. Ain't no mystery why this game died.
>>571607968>Graviton Spike intrinsicsOh it's a fucking joke and one of the worst things put in the game if you factor in how a part of it had leveling up grind +pushing world tiers up on Kepler as in people were doing it super under leveled just to get it done and it was the hellscape nightmare. Also you had to be sure to be on top of two things at once(upgrading Kepler and doing intrinsic quest) otherwise you'd have to go backtrack to some asshole end of the map to flick a little switch to progress something. You were pretty much doing multiple campaigns worth of running around right down to having to repeat missions on harder difficulty. It's one of the most blatant situations that Bungie really just wanted to drag things to a boring tedious halt because they had fuck all for new content to show for. That aside, yeah no I agree with your logic, the game's only gotten easier with things, you really don't need all the new weapons just to say you have them, a best of scan of Aegis's lists will show you what's still good, and oh big deal you got a new set that can make extra ammo and extra orbs, as if that was ever and issue or you needed to purposely make that a priority in a linear course of a harder strike. This game always sucked for Solos but it will feel just more pointless now
>>571616379I'd probably try Marathon if it wasn't PvP. Or even if it was Gambit.But PvP extraction shooters are the avatar of pure misery, so I shan't be playing it.
>>571614785>If you have a worming buildNo idea what that is
>>571609364As do I.
>>571611418It has been the lore nerds' nightmare for a very long time that once the Nine truly get way too demystified, things will accelerate to ruin. Sure ok they had to do some thing with them, but because Bungie has to handfeed illiterate dummies, we go back to the classics of "this was all part of their big overarching plan", "they were 100 steps ahead of you and we're just playing their game", even the way the Winnower is being handled feels like some fan fiction revision of how they wanted to really do the Witness, it's tiresome. Jabba the Byf slaps his Gregg's sausage roll gut in anger how we were robbed, and it's like that is putting an ungodly amount of faith in not only Bungie not fucking things up(massive doubt) but that 90% of the player base would even have an inkling of what's up; Taox is in the picture, as if we needed more ancient beings tied into the Hive getting ruined and more humanized that we need to be friends with? Perfect example is knitting naptime room veteran Robert Brookes talking about "Amanda rezzed by a Hive Ghost and becomes evil guardian" pitch ideas, and that starts to go against the entire premise of Witch Queen and what we learned from Fynch that it's not some big "Hive Ghosts are the evil flavor to raise evil Hive Guardians", like play the fucking campaign and read a lore card.
>>571617165>Working*
>>571617464I'm launching of this partially to say the witness in general was a mistake.Retroactively removing all agency from the major antagonistic forces was awful.
>>571616379>implying Marathon is good at its nicheIt has been raped by every other extraction shooter in playercounts because the game is just shit. They are still behind other extraction shooters in terms of features and content. Bungie has gone full panic mode because Sony is about to bring the axe down on their head while also not letting them waste even more money on Marathon trying to perform a miracle.
>>571617464The huge disconnect between the Main team and Seasonal teams is a fucking colossal issue, and I have a feeling that Bungie treated the Seasonal teams as a daycare for the people that they were forced to hire for diversity quotas. But once the layoffs came, they had to redistribute people from the Seasonal teams into the Main team.
I just want the Bungie layoffs and studio closure.
WHERE IS IT?
>>571618185Somebody on here had a good ramble how illogical Neomuna was and it was a situation where you knew the team was proud of what they did but didn't see how many holes existed in it or that it wasn't really a world that would've been of our envy despite being relatively unscathed. They had a gang of four inner circle cop snitch state. Also the case of Maya being a psycho that they worship, I love how the Conductor exists and we don't even really say much to Neomuna
>>571618715>Marathon comeback>they make the main game PvE with Gambit as a side mode
>>571618192Soon fellow doomgod... soon. Bungie has been on borrowed time since TFS and Edge of Fate's failure. Sony is closing them slowly over time to not shock their stock prices because immediately closing a studio you just invested $3.6 billion in would make the shareholders shit bricks. Its why they peddled the positive narrative back at the previous earnings report to the shareholders about Marathon, notice how they never mentioned anything about costs, revenue or profit. They are doing layoffs to slowly whittle down the studio and reduce costs before axing them entirely. Bungie is likely to not see 2027 and definitely will not see 2028.
>>571608126Thanks wrote it on my commute into the office. >>571608141True. Maybe I'll come back after a year. The King Triumph armor is cool. I like the warlock helmet. 70% of Destiny is a dress up game for me. >>571616742I can't imagine. Glad I missed it. Just doing the Transcendent Zen boss was annoying enough. I just safe spotted him instead of dying to the arc turrets that can't even be guard blocked and doing a Dark Souls 1 runback (even Elden Ring knew to stop that shit). I like the gun. I think I could've stomached it if it was given at the start. Seeing those flower buds would've been more exciting if I initially had a way to solve them. Getting the gun then going "Oh, fuck where did I remember seeing that shit" is tedious. But Bungie is partly content creator pilled. They think it's exciting that so many parts of the game is unintuitive and you need a Datto, Aztec, or etc guide on how shit works. Also, logging in day one and having all your old armor invalidated must've been a real kick in the balls. It's cool T5 are all god rolls. But, fuck if I had to do all that grinding in EOF before they made it rain T5s. That's true unemployment gaming.
>>571618756>we have sensors that can detect all sorts of power (light, dark, arc, life signs)>can't detect Neomuna (despite the entire city being in cryosleep VR using a LOT of energy from the Veil, which is supposedly darkness, and full of life)>can get info from the Vex network (because we've physically gone inside it)>can't find Neomuna, despite the Vex being the in-lore main threat to it (and therefore having a large reason to have records of its existence that Osiris/Mithrax/Saint/you could have read over/discovered)This asspull alone makes the rest of the story nonsensical. If it had been a super secret abandoned Golden Age colony that had long gone dark for no records or sensors picking it up (and thus had no personalities) that we were going into, it'd have MAYBE slid by, but no, they wrote a massive plot hole and just said "lol they have super secret better than you tech that lets them be sneaky (despite never fixing the "10 year lifespan" thing)
>>571618756Honestly, I think they should've leaned harder into Neomuna getting double-teamed by the Black Fleet and Vex.>One half is completely dominated by the Darkness, with more and more of their architecture appearing as you get deeper into it>Another half is practically the Vex Network made manifest in our material plane, with the border being actively reassembled>The center is the only stronghold of the city, where you can encounter a mixture of both forcesIt being almost untouched is kind of lame.
>>571618756Even Destiny: Rising with all its plot retardation was smart enough to introduce multiple human settlements on Earth in a way that is far more plausible than Neomuna.
>>571619102It was bad. Aztecross bragging how it was a good and cool thing that getting to end cap was the mark of a true real hardcore gamer, and then his retarded ass grinding the same 2 activities until he went insane and just never made the last 50 levels because 400-450 was all on the basis of Prime drops that were on a fixed instance of when they could physically drop because Bungie thought it'd be a good idea to basically timegate the levels. It is really no shock EoF was one of the harder death blows to the game. I'm a sunk cost retard who'll play anything new Destiny and it was a situation where I just bounced the second I put everything together and saw that the entire thing was set up to just be grinds on grinds. Gotta grind for loot to melt into the temporary Unstable Cores to upgrade all your slots because you get a better score bonus for better letter grade if your gear was all highest level, it was incredibly how unfun they made the entire shit. Looking back it's kind of crazy how very particular Bungie hyped this with the forced roll outs done with handpicked content creators, Bungie themselves barely saying much in the livestreams, they had that bizarre Roflwaffles moment at GCX, WAKE UP, like it feels like a fever dream how much bullshit it all was
>>571619970Oh, his gaping hole will get so much love...
>>571619657Even the whole "we're the most advanced civ ever, anything from your puny golden age is a joke to us", and then their entire defense force rests on the shoulders of a mentor-mentee duo that are overloaded cyborgs with artificially shortened lives because of being overloaded, no thought of spreading out the cyborg upgrades, or having a standing army, or doing anything else. Also Rasputin could orbital strike a chosen one space jesus Guardian, but Shitbird the Cloudstrider snuck in and deleted any mention of Neomuna unscathed, sure that makes sense. Also Neptune had the history of Vex fucking around there so it's not like they didn't have cause to be more defensive. I very stupidly gave Bungie the benefit of the doubt when there was the murmurs of something sinister with Maya that there would be a twist that Neptune is actually kind of a hellscape and the people were basically too fat dumb and happy to realize it, sort of in a Fallout evil Vault Overseer ironic kind of way, but nope here's some lore about cops arresting homeless people for "being in a cult" and some weird attempt to try to paint social commentary about ronatimes lockdowns or whatever the fuck.
>only one triumpth away from Harbinger title>its bugged because of the portal

They better fix the catalyst progress this week otherwise im raping them
This is probably the final patch ever kek
What does Deep-sight resonance actually do? Will it be able to change perks like crafted weapon or something?
>>571620234>Bungie tries to write a "social commentary">paints their side (the pro-lockdown "good guysTM") as authoritarian jackboots hellbent on making the common man sufferBungie has tried to write "social commentary" multiple times, and every time it backfires and paints the Good GuyTM as awful, and the "villain" as righteous.>Neomuna as a whole (above)>Lakshmi being a genocide survivor not wanting to live near the creature that tried to kill her entire species, instead harboring resentment for those who clearly show no remorse for their actions>Osiris literally grooming a Vex copy of Saint into a gay lover>Maya being an accurate representation of the majority of lesbian couples (DV et al)>>571620681You can apply it to random rolls of a weapon to get crafting progress. Once you get 5 of them, you go to the Enclave on Mars (through the Throne World) and can craft it, then level it to put whatever perks you want on it.
>>571620681after collecting 5 red borders, you can craft the weapon with the perk roll you want out of the perks provided to you at the Enclave crafting station.
>>571619764>Prime drops that were on a fixed instance of when they could physically drop because Bungie thought it'd be a good idea to basically timegate the levelsIs that what Sieve is for!? Was baffled why it was a time gated activity. I do find it hilarious they used the expansion to explain Gambit then did nothing to try and fix Gambit. The first team to drop 45, summon the boss for a tractor cannon one shot always wins with zero counterplay.
>>571620808>>571620950I see. I have only gotten 1 red-border version of this gun so far sadly. But if I understood it correctly, Using the Deep-sight consumable on this gun and then leveling it speeds up the process? Or am I just super retarded
>>571620662how hard is it to add a x1.5 or x2.0 to the gains?
What's the roll for kindled orchid? I'm leaning towards kill clip and magnificent howl.
>>571621328kill clip and rampage is the epic meme roll
I think it's obvious that when Bungie originally made Destiny, they had basically no ideas/plans for what "muh darkness" was even supposed to be.It was just some tangentially related evil shit that was a backdrop for the other alien races to actually be interesting in. Of course as soon as Beyond Light came out (aka around when the last original Bungie guys were completely gone) the nu-faggot writing team had just seen Infinity War and went "oh my FUARKING gosh guys I know exactly what to do"Destiny was at it's best when the Hive, Fallen and Cabal were still massive threats because as far as we knew 90% of their forces hadn't even gotten to Sol yet.
>saw that all the DLC was on sale for super cheap>fuck it, why not?>see that new versions of all the black armory guns are in the 6man vanguard missionsblast furnace, my beloved.... you're just as beautiful as I remember. I still have my OG godroll bergussian nights kindled orchid and ringing nail as trophies of better times. Still won't dismantle them for the shader.
>>571621243It's either get lucky with a natural red border drop or use a Deepsight Harmonizer consumable to get one. It doesn't "speed up the process," using the Deepsight Harmonizer makes that particular roll into a red border, so it makes it 1/5 of the crafting progress.>>571621328For 2-taps in PvP, that's your only "real" option. Kill Clip/Rampage x2 also does it, but requires more work. The health rework killed most of the old "fun" options, 180s especially. Trust is the only 180 that can 3-tap now, and it's only because of Magnificent Howl.And since Trust has Mag Howl now, why don't they just say fuck it and revert the Luna's/NF nerf, including the Onslaught version of Luna's?
>>571621618Ah I see. Thanks for the explanation
>>57162080810/10 story write up. I laughed that Maya floated down a river of cum and we're told "She'll be back" (Not anymore LOL)
>>571621618>Trust is the only 180 that can 3-tap nowi miss my sightline survey
>>571621183Nah Sieve was their half ass attempt to phone in an expansion activity and the only benefit was you could get the campaign completion exotic without having to do the campaign. Once you hit 400s in EoF your only option to get levels was running more Portal bullshit but instead of it being a guaranteed upgrade drop, your Prime would only show up on every 20th? or so run of things so if you were trying to get to that 450 cap, it would take you forever. People's napkin math that conservatively tried to account for taking some form of break, sleep, whatever still ended up being less than it actually took and not a ton of people go it. By the time people figured everything out, the game was basically in a tail spin, and Bungie were just about to release the "we're scaling things back in future dlc" comments. It's fucked to think that they wanted to basically have this as how leveling was going to go for the rest of the game's future/multiple DLC with everything resetting at major expansions. Sure they did always say that the freebie half/Ash and Iron would make that leveling grind and tier 5 acquisition slightly easier though the levels got raised and that same probably were persist with the last 50 or so levels they newly added, Long story short Bungie were absolute fucking morons making things into busy work and they ate shit for it
>>571621450>I think it's obvious that when Bungie originally made Destiny, they had basically no ideas/plans for what "muh darkness" was even supposed to be.They literally said that yeah
downtime until 1 pm eastern. 78 minutes.
>>571620237Harbinger is the most bugged seal in the game>nightmare hunts have been bugged so many times and they made the triumph harder for some ungodly reason so you literally can't die at all if solo and if one of your team mates die at any point it doesn't count>nightmare hunts straight don't give you the triumph sometimes, randomly>nightmare hunts were bugged like 5 years ago to give you the triumph no matter what so most people who got it are from that period>the jade rabbits if they're not done in the same week one-by-one will bug the fuck out>jade rabbits HAVE to be done on one character because they never gave a tracker like every other collectable>can't do the badge at all because the crota nightmare hunt will always exceed 15 minutes unless you get 3 people who are speedrunning the activity with eager edge and fast rotations on the sword (the -30 perma cap they grandfathered into the activity fucked the sword light-level damage)And none of this will be fixed.

>>571622935Warframe has a very tedious grind at the start and once you basically beat the second dream you got like 40 paths you can take for grinds. You should probably just ride out destiny until you are fully bored of it before starting warframe
>>571621450Always has been. That's why even back in Halo the factions were all named single words that vaguely described them, just come up with a general idea that peoples' imaginations fill in the rest. Everything else can just be a metaphor for a mostly unknown. Then Destiny 2 telling us "No, the Darkness is literally a sentient being" kinda takes the fun out of it. I have already come up with my constellation, The Crusades, you guys don't need to draw it for me.>>571622590>game genre that is inherently anti-casual>why are we having so much trouble keeping casual players interested?idk bros have you tried not making a game that caters to sweats and streamers scrabbling for Epic Twitch Clutch Moments™ brought to you by Raycon™?Oh wait
>>571622935>convince me not toJust do it. It's 100% free and the only hiccup is the crafting timer that only really matters for Guns/Frames that range from functionally 1-3 days. The game basically encourages you to either take a brake and come back when it's done or find something else to do in the meantime.Unfortunately, it's the type of game where you keep a wiki open at all times because you will literally just never fucking know how many 2% drops you missed and would have loved to have. It's a long term casual investment until you reach a certain point like >>571623224 says and 50% of the game suddenly opens up.
>>571623019maybe he should have written the right story for the game they were making and knew they were going to make before anything had been made or writtenstaten wrote another halobungie and i assume staten knew they WERENT doing another halo, that it was going to be a totally new type of game and yet staten wrote another halo anyway and threw a tantrum and quit when he got called an idiot and had his story thrown out
>>571620662>>571621295I haven't messed with reputation stuff yet, what's wrong? Did they make it way too stingy yet again?
>>571620662What's wrong with the rep gain?
>can't decide if I actually like this gun or noton one hand it's kind of almost like a mini graviton lance but on the other I absolutely hate how omolon frames feel to use
>>571622568Lol Crota's doable how do you think people did it on launch, and at a time when the PVE sandbox was way worse? I do know people who've struggled to get the shell from Altars despite running it a zillion times
>>571623768vanguard rep is very, very slow.
>>571622935the only time warframe is worth playing is when they do big story expansion
>>571620234The Clownstrider apparently used some backdoors they learnt through the Exodus AI that basically told Rasputin's defense systems it was OK to allow that one guy in and let him mess with Rasputin's databases across the entire Sol system. Marvelous writing, I know.
>>571622590>marathon is runningheh
>>571623562Bu bu but they got the funny peanut guy to say something positive you guys, surely the game was good enough? That was up there for a moment with gaming that I have felt ancient and I just don't know if following these kinds or games or information is for me any more, where I need to suspend all disbelief of basic textbook shilling that some probable fat slob yelling through a vtuber avatar is how a game gets hyped. I do hate the cursed element of content creator driven marketing, Joe Ziegler "you'll just be talking about all your runs to your friends", watchable gameplay bullshit. Nobody can design a fucking normal game ever.
>>571622337>Once you hit 400s in EoF your only option to get levels was running more Portal bullshit but instead of it being a guaranteed upgrade drop, your Prime would only show up on every 20th?That's disgusting. I thought I was bad for farming solo ops a bit for +1s. Every 20th? Lol. WTF LOL. No wonder everyone quit. I thought I discerned how bad it was but that's beyond expectation.
>>571623841>you now remember there's like 4 void hand cannons in rotation>probably more I'm forgetting>almost all of thme have hypermeta repuslor/destabilzing combo
>Always thought Discord was a shitty perk>Only now realize it says that final blows REFUND ammo, not load it from reservesI feel, and am, dumb.
How likely is it that they're patching out the div cheese with insurrection prime?
>>571624840It was a pretty recent discovery no? It might have flown under the radar.
>>571624693>Watching old Aztec guide>Says people should pull from old season passes to level The fuck? How did he write that sincerely like most people don't automatically claim their rewards in the pass during the season. That's the type of degeneracy I hated about Destiny next to bounty stacking weeks in advance.
>>571625021>he didn't stack bounties>he didn't have a treasure horde of Dares boxes
>>571622935You can in fact play both. It's what I do.
>>571624693Yep, to my recollection none of the major ecelebs actually got to 450 in that first half of the DLC, even the math done for people who did get it done basically were shit bucketing no life and after a certain point it wasn't like there was even necessarily a point of doing it, outside of some of the conquests I think you needed to be a little over 400? to do. It was a fucking disaster, Edge of Fate just had so much wrong going on for how they wanted Destiny to be.
>>571623854Anon, when it launched we didn't have the power delta which applied to the sword which is the ONLY way you damage Crota.You can't solo Crota deathless in under 15 minutes.
>>571626607you cant because youre shit
>>571622590Extraction games are not casual in any sense of the word, what else did they expect?
>>571626698I await your 15 minutes solo clear, because legitimately everyone does the same damage with the sword because of the light level delta.Go ahead and prove me wrong. You can check solo YouTube runs, they're 17 minutes tops.
>>571626884because youre all shitthere is no other explanation
>>571626786>what else did they expect?bungie magic
>>571627043Or perhaps bungee didn't think about the consequences of the Portal system?Stop defending Bungie's shitty implementation, its a fact of math. Light level has affect on the sword relic. A -30 perma delta will decrease your damage on the sword. We used to not have the delta on the activity at all, it was just a flat light level. I'm sorry you post in a general and don't understand the basics of how the game works. Even when the activity had that flat light level it still took people an average of 14 minutes solo.Pathetic fucking shill
>>571627767then why do i have the title?
>>571627836I dunno, when did you get the title?
>>571627906like a week ago
>>571627906I too got it a week ago you fucking tard LMAOOOOOOOOOO
>>571626223The other problem was that getting to level 450-550 was always meant to be temporary. That was just going to be your "Seasonal LL", your actual Light Level would always be capped at around 200 or so. It was going to be the mother of all grinds until Bungie was left so scared shitless that they had no choice but to backtrack.
>>571628123He's trolling you
>>571628263Nah this dude has been complaining about Nightmare Hunts for the entire weekhes just a shitter
>>571627836nta but he is kind of correct at least on the difficulty being increased since Shadowkeep. I haven't played a Nightmare hunt on Master since I did the title back in the day but that was back when you could overlevel activities with artifact power bonus. Now you have a light level delta that affects all damage dealt and makes the hive sword do absolute fucking wank damage. Might be a little more forgiving now since the power delta is less harsh since EoF rework. But idk I do remember people complaining about not being able to do it post Lightfall. Just went and watched an eso video, linked it here. But yeah its still doable and that was during Wish at like -25 which is harder than the -30 of post EoF. He is just encountering a skill issue.https://youtu.be/jbVUAQLSPUg?t=2649
Don't sleep on Mycopunk; it's like Borderlands crossed with Helldivers with a secondary roguelike mode for shits and giggles.
>>571628360Is this another case of>"x is shit because it's buggy!">there is no bug, the ones complaining just suck at the game
>>571623841>enlightened action with reload speed masterwork and modlol is the reload that bad on it?
>>571628623yesthere is no bugthere are literally a billion ways to speedrun and debuff enemies and he just cant do it so he's lashing out like a crybaby
>>571628609No, its legitimately just a skill issue>>571628623yesIf someone cant clear master nightmare hunts they should be classified as a retard
>>571628617It's genuinely really fun, though I am worried about the devs getting into the "experimental phase" in the middle of early access like this.
>>571628730>>571628783So like with Garden of Salvation where everyone complains about tether being buggy but in reality it's just their fireteams being retarded and refusing to stand in a line?
>>571628609>all those shitters in the commentsjesus christ
Is this game worth getting into?
>>571626223>>571628254I'm throwing up reading this. The fact they'd do that knowing the game would be on life support with Marathon and other projects is wild. I hope the lead dev does a tell all / autopsy of it's development. I genuinely wonder how much they can change. Like, I never understood why Zavala didn't die in Final Shape with Lance Reddick or why they reset our power to just inflate it back to 550
>>571628951yes
>>571628951anon, of course it ispeople in destiny are actually horrible, like, they're terrible at videogames. look at the comments in the video anon linked, its full of people saying this activity is impossible
>>571628617>it's like Borderlands
>>571628617Even if it's good I'm not seriously committing time to playing as a fucking bug.
>>571622761It's more likely their writers just wanted to double down on her being the bad guy like they did with Calus and the dog. Can't have morally gray characters, all villains MUST be cartoon character-tier awful in ALL their actions.If they hadn't made her comically evil, someone (more than already) would be worshipping her to this day because troons love "toxic yuri" they see themselves in the violent party in it, because deep down they are still mentally disturbed men with a deep-seated hatred of women.
>>571628617I hated looking at it. It's even uglier than Marathon.
>>571629473Bugs are cool thougheverbeit
>>571629613It kind of grows on you. Also, destroying cores or dismembering monsters never gets old.
D3 needs to have expanded Gambit, Horde Mode, and Racing at launch. Better character customization, ghost and ship customization at launch. And they can't slack on PVP it's important.
>>571629113But think of the Destiny dads :(Without the artifact bug, they'll never be able to kill those EDZ Dregs
>>571630135Well D3 will never exist, so.
>it took like 3 months for marathonfags to realise that burying any semblance of plot or story into a codex might've been a horrible ideageniuses
Maybe they should've made marathon a book instead of a game
>>571628992>why they reset our power to just inflate it back to 550A guy in a fishing hat thought that D2 should be more like games with regular "resets" to gear.
>>571630296I don't think we'll ever get a Destiny anything, ever.It looks like Sony is fully committed to burying the IP in its entirety, so the only way is if someone buys it from them or the ex-devs started working on a spiritual successor.
>>571630712Then we'd really be bookin' it.
NO WHY DID THEY NERF TRUTH FUCK YOU BINGIE
>>571630712It would maybe be a killer short story in one of those old sci-fi journals. Like, a notable one. But wouldn't be an actual story with a beginning and an end.
>>571631031
>>571631102say you're lying right now
>>571631102>Nerfing shit on the last update of the gameFor what reason
>>571631542>>571631691it's not too bad but it felt nice to have a lot of rockets
>>571631839Oh it's just reserves, I thought they killed it's damage or something. Sucks but it's not that bad
DMG removed "Destiny 2" from his bioIt's so fucking over
>>571631839Oh, so one less mag basically.A total non-issue.
>>571632208This really is the final update, isn't it?
>>571631839they could have toned down its damage like 25%. Its far too strong for what it is.
>>571631839Ergo never drops vortex for me I always get a shitty caster or wave frame
>Fixed an issue in the Consecrated Mind encounter where players tethering at outer pylons would gain the Enlightened buff when players at the central pylon completed a tether.never doing that encounter again looks like
>>571632496How the fuck do they even intend for it to be done then?
>>571632617like normal i guess
>Didn't farm Oryx set>Don't feel like doing masterIt's so fucking over
>>571632448A perfect fifth caster is nice, instant ignition on demand unless they changed it somehow.
>>571609001>go for Lord Shaxx in the D2 dating sim>unlock a hour-long sex scene>he screams "S-SEVENTH COLUMN!" while blowing your back outabsolute kino
>>571632790Take the exodus down pill
>>571632842Would perfect 5th with vortex proc an insta ignition? I think I have it with wave frame I got a wolf pack with caster
>>571632496What the fuck, i thought this was intended because the other boxes sre orange while the central one is white
CRAWLING IN MY SKIN
So, did they address Radiant no longer giving its benefit?
>chattering bone holofoil still isn't fixedim losing hope
AAAIIIIE
>>571632208It'll be nice to see all these worthless people at Bungie have to go find a real job and realize how useless they are
>>571633338From older r*ddit discussions people say vortex swords with perfect fifth were also decent but their ammo economy sucked, which is fixed by today's update (a vortex Ergo Sum now uses 4 ammo instead of 6).
1k is with catty is crazy
>>571635183Sorry to tell you this, but the more notable members of Bungie are gonna have an easy time finding new jobs.I wouldn't be surprised if most of them already got new positions lined up, so they wouldn't even have a period of actual unemployment.
>>571635753Is it busted?
>>571636059Maybe. I'm sure a lot of them are getting rolled into regular Bungie shit or Sony but even in the retarded vidya industry I wouldn't be excited to hire someone from a company that just scammed Sony out of 3bil
>>571636293Every explosion releases solar seekers that blight targets they hit. Over 30% damage increase.
average /dg/ supremacy experience
>>571636473Yeah but is it good for dps?
>>571637193you are embarrassing us, anon
>>571635001Pair it with another hand cannon with envious assassin and never worry about reloading either ever again. You won't even need a special weapon because Lucky Pants + spire set makes handcannons (especially LW) shit out heavy weapon damage.
>sent a request for the clan a week ago>nothingbros...
Zavala's got a lionfish this week. What's the good roll? Do reconstruction and reservoir burst synergize?
>>571637820they do, but controlled burst and chill clip are better
>>571637981That's the other one I had in mind, but sell me on chill clip.
>>571638214>chill clip.inherently deals with 2 champions and can deal with the 3rd (barrier) by freezing and just killing them
EVERYTHING HAS HEALTH
>>571638365Nice, I'm gonna shoot for that. Unfortunately none of the rolls have both chill clip *and* controlled burst, so I'm gonna grab number 4. I can run that with either rimestealer + chill clip or reconstruction + reservoir.
>>571632496>>571631102>Classic Bungie>Nerf shit people like because fuck you>Don't buff the things people want>Where Sunbracers rework?
>>571635183>>571636059>most of them will end up falling upwards or sideways>>571636393In the gaming industry, being part of a flop isn't a detriment to your resume. Employers just see "has experience in [x] task". Consider it one of the 30 or so reasons the industry is screwed.
>>571636393Even if the industry is retarded, they're not retarded enough to believe that the employees are responsible for the actions of the C-suite and management. They're absolutely gonna suck up most employees affected by these layoffs, especially the longtime ones.For community managers, it's ridiculously easy to get new jobs. Even Hippy was able to secure herself TWO CM positions after being fired.
>>571635753neat
>>571639532And that's factoring in how Hippy did a sort of expose tell all not subtle video on the eve of TFS's launch practically rubbing it in the faces how she was going to talk shit. I do think the video did get heavily re-edited, but I think the burning bridges tag line still remained. The original version was insane rambles and even if you worked at McDonald's and it was the worst shit ever, you likely wouldn't have put so much mind to things.
damn I wish I knew the raid, that 1k voices catalyst looks pretty insane
>can't get the new warlock aspect without all the DLCdamn it, i probably should've got it on sale
>>571640760I wouldn't doubt that an ex Bungie employee like Hippy would say their cushy deskjob was somehow worse than wageslaving.
>>571628254The bigger gaslight was all the BDF saar bots who kept getting argumentative saying "uhm this actually isn't the longest grind we've had, it's very doable" "it's a marathon not a race" and just complete downplay of how much time would be needed to get there. It was a complete joke
>>571641368Yeah, sure, everybody like wasting 10-15 minutes of their time for one-two +1 items.
>Fixed an issue in the Consecrated Mind encounter where players tethering at outer pylons would gain the Enlightened buff when players at the central pylon completed a tether.Your new lfg filter boss has arrived sir…

>>571643006Ultimate
I miss when destiny was more about fighting random schmucks who got a little too much power. all these gods and end of the universe threats got so boring and stale, I wanna fight niggas like siviks trying to steal from the black armory or eramis raiding the cryptarch vault or the cabal trying to control vex powerI think having smaller well developed stories would be much better for the destiny world than all the bullshit we had in the past 3 or 4 years
>>571643867but then how do you get redditors to basedface when Thanos shows up?
>>571643505why? just makes it harder to do comparisons
Are there normally groups farming queenswalk for 1k voices? doesn't seem like it would be that hard having never done it before
>>571608037You just had to be there
>exotic stasis gl>verity's brow>shatter grenade>frostpulse>4pc seventh seraph>slayer baron artifactIs there a compelling reason to not just do this on titan instead of warlock? Frostpulse rift is nice but not important.
Is Riven still cheesed with swords these days?
>>571644087the avengers and its consequences have been a disaster for popular sci fi stories
>>571643867Destiny has never been low stakes. Even those things you mentioned were potentially extinction level events if not intervened upon. The very basis of the Destiny universe is a game between opposed primordial forces which, in the process of playing said game, impart their power upon those who are willing to receive it or take it by the force of their will. The end result of the game in fact relies upon these two notions.
Thank god I farmed the pit set hours before the reset. Now my bonk build is complete. Well I farmed the bare minimum 4 pieces. I did not get the chest yet and I might never because I don’t know how much longer I’ll play this game.
>>571643867We killed the Taken King in his titular expansion, "too much power" has been present since 2015. I get what you mean though, having that be the ONLY tangible threats we fight makes the power-scaling feel really off to the point where the "Last City" starts to create disbelief. Why is a city full of god-killers not reconquering their home planet, or the solar system at-large?>>571644385Yes, I did it MoT release week with 1 well, 1 tether, and 5x Lament (last guy didn't have Lament because he "only plays PvP," he used the Black Armory sword I think). All of the Riven cheese still works, including the "joining allies" wall to teleport.
>>571644503im not saying we should be like batman and chase around criminals, but it gets tiring when every dlc is about some ancient god
>hmm yes we noticed (insert exotic heavy weapon) was working as intended and decided to nerf it so it’s unusable for boss damage now
Bungie’s biggest mistakes regarding weapons>handout exotics>seasonal weapon bloat>elemental primaries outside of raids/solo dungeon>weapon crafting>weapon leveling (would rather cut my dick off than organically level a weapon)>rocket frames>support frames (literal meme)>double special
>>571645238>Ten rockets with 4 additional free rockets is badTruth is still probably the best rocket launcher. It’s irrelevant though because particle deconstruction is just frankly broken

Because most of the raid encounters in this game are patternslop dogshit. I don’t know how much I would’ve played this game over the years without VoG and KF. Most of D2’s original content is just awful.
>>571646257There aren't even any good weapons to use particle deconstruction with though
>>571646243>>elemental primaries outside of raids/solo dungeonWhy?>>weapon craftingFaggot
>>571648858It's one of the better total damage weapons, and since it's an LFR it pairs with Particle Reconstruction on the Tablet of Ruin for extra damage. It's great for raids/dungeons where you can coordinate for a Divinity and a well.Otherwise it's just "very good for damage," still on the upper end of damage heavies.
>>571648981I've never seen the attraction of raiding. I hate it when a boss goes immune and you want me to play an entire mode built /around/ that shit. Get out of town.
>>571649340are you /gay/
>>571649408for you baby, i might just be
>>571648981Leviathan was peak, though. There isn't a single bad encounter in that raid.
I don't know why I'm shocked but the Timeline missions still don't have any year 1 stuff. I'm pretty sure they promised to expand it maybe I misread the TWAB. Bungie devs really are the scum of the Earth
>>571649408I'm concentrating on me right now.
>>571649809Another day coming to terms with the fact that the Pyramidion strike is gone and never coming back.Probably has more to do with the scripting/trigger system changes from Beyiond Light than anything else, it's why several old locations & activities were removed. I would not be surprised if there isn't anyone left on staff who would know how to fix them.
>>571648858>3 burst mode reduces charge time by 40% after scoring 6 hits (no damage reduction either)>catalyst gives it rewind rounds>iirc it has a higher base damage than other LFRs by default.>there's also particle recon on one artifact, and another artifact that makes blind function as a weaken for arc weapons (Queenbreaker precision mode blinds)>even if not doing DPS, a single shot from QB's precision mode can clear and/or blind an entire crowdyeah it's pretty good

>>571650193Rewind Rounds also has a wonky interaction with any weapon that fires multiple shots per bullet. It is supposed to refill the magazine based on the percentage of hits in relation to the magazine capacity, but 3 shots per 1 ammo means you'll get a full refill every time if you hit most shots, meaning you can dump all your reserves without reloading. The same thing happens with rocket pulses.
>>571651954>All seasonal content erased at the end of an expansionDuring Shadowkeep they deleted seasons immediately as the new season began.
>bungie reset ALL my artifacts because some people were exploiting itRAPE BUNGIE
>>571652150It was so stupid; that's just more work on them so they can jack up the fomo.
>>571651954>>571652150IMO the worst thing they did with seasonal content was making it extremely relevant to the main plot. Side story shit like Plunder and Haunted would've been """fine""" since you're not missing any """important""" story, it's just you going on a random adventure.
>>571652916If you have one setup in loadouts it saved there thoughYMMV on if you had an exploit one saved though, I didn't so I don't know either way
>>571652916All they had to do was prevent multiple copies of the same mod from stacking.

>>571653394Yeah, the amount of important important shit that happened in Season of the Seraph is honestly comical. Plus, as an Elsiefag that was my last chance to see my girl. Sad I skipped that season.
>>571653758>>571653987AFAIK, this change in seasonal direction from "sidestories with little main plot relevance" to "MAIN PLOT THAT YOU CAN'T MISS OUT ON" is almost entirely because of fucking redditors and twittards crying about the seasons having no plot relevance and thus being "boring".And then they switched it to "the main plot is stretched out over the entire year" with fucking Lightfall.
>bungie: we're only doing bug fixes >also bungie: we've gone ahead and nerfed truth and armour set bonusesokay so the game still gets proper updates? wtf
Prismatic is a gay, literally and figuratively, hamfisted mashed together "subclass" that was a weak, last ditch effort by the dev team knowing they had to force a new subclass into the final expansion or be executed by gamer firing squadThe pink is shit, the ability combination is boring and tunneled into single builds, and the entire concept is incredibly fucking lame >umm...light and dark...together!
>>571654313Nah, this is entirely on bungie they did this to try and force people to stay playing so that they knew what the fuck was going on
>>571651954>>All seasonal content erased at the end of an expansionThis design philosophy is so retarded.>Force your devs to make entire new areas, storylines, and activities>Run it for 3 months max and then literally never touch it againAdding Coil and shit to the finder was the best thing they could've done, and also should've been the fucking idea from the beginning.Like these niggers wonder why there isn't shit to do in the game and why every other expansion is boring as fuck when they delete all this stuff they worked on
>>571654895they fucked up when they opted to only have a few mixable subclasses, aspects, and fragments. Its like they did everything in their power to insure that it would be bland as hell.
>>571654778We won't be safe until the layoffs start. Like they dropped a banger update, and their natural instinct is to fuck it up even now.
>>571654895desu I wish Prismatic used element-shifted variations of abilities and gave them all a more unified colorit'd honestly make buildcrafting with it significantly more interesting

>>571654895When they introduced prismatic, they should have just gone off the deep end and done away with subclasses entirely and allowed players to freeform a class for themselves from ALL the abilities, aspects and fragments.And I do mean ALL. Nothing would be arbitrarily class-locked or grouped into developer picked sets, everyone could use everything.
Is a threat level with Cascade Point and Chaos Reshaped good?

>>571655702using my radial mast
>>571656208I'll be honest, I'm happy they didn't do that.Because we wouldn't even last a day before someone posts the absolutely most optimal setup for each class and we end up in the most atrociously boring meta to ever exist.

What's the logic behind joining a master version of a dungeon without even knowing how to do the dungeon itself.
>>571661030>I am skilled enough to do the harder version of this without knowing the dungeon>As long as my fireteam carries my retarded assThe second part is usually the one most people fail to admit

Seriously who writes this absolute garbage, this is literal deviantart kid fanfic tier shitty writing, what the fuck is this? I've never seen an intellectual property so badly in need of retcons in my entire life
>>571664549>t. lorelet>>>/v/
>>571664734>Eris Morn has become le most powerful epic and wesome hive god... EVERDogshit writing is an embarrassing hill to hang yourself on, robert.
>>571664549It's because they decided to introduce Xivu Arath in the most rushed, boring way after realizing they needed another villain.And then came up with a nonsense solution of how we can beat her since they completely fucked themselves on saying she's basically impossible to beat.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=qFgoLbPjo5Y&pp=ygUNRmFsbG91dCBwbGF5c9IHCQk_CwGHKiGM7w%3D%3DIt's up
>>571654778The concept of still doing nerfs when the gam is at EOS is insane to me. Let us have our fun
fuck titans
>>571662118Yep>The King's Fall Set Bonus's 2 piece perk is currently significantly overperforming, making it hard to justify using other set bonuses. We want to keep this effect strong, but we need to reduce its performance to create some space for other choices. >Decreased the Special ammo progress bonus by 70%. >Decreased the Heavy ammo progress bonus by 75%.
>xivu arath can't be beaten because fighting her counts as war and grants her power due to her authority as the hive god of war>how to counter?>make your own hive god by having her kill Savathun temporarily, juice her up with tribute from guardians, and have her make it so fighting xivu arath counts as vengeance and not warIt makes sense, you're just retarded and a lorelet.
>>571664549>>571665250It’s funny. When I returned to D2 in Witch Queen I was confused to find out that half of Savathun’s story already happened in deleted seasonal content. And then the Witch Queen story itself was a boring slog.
>>571665904what the fuck
>>571666163nta but that's cringe
>>571666163>make your own hive god by having her kill Savathun temporarily, juice her up with tribute from guardians, and have her make it so fighting xivu arath counts as vengeance and not warIt's honestly adorable how you can type shit like this without a hint of irony and you think it's the coolest thing ever
>>571666163Fucking lol.
>>571667413>>571667372>>571666881>in which /dg/ /v/ermin with no knowledge of hive lore say "old good, new bad" when they don't even know anything about anything
>Retard confuses being ignorant of lore with the writing being absolutely terrible to a juvenile degreeWhat's that phenomena called again when the person pretends to not understand what they're responding to?
>>571666337Youd get a heavy ammo box on 3 red bar kills and a special on 2. Not shocked it got nerfed.
>i-it's juvenile, it's terrible!>>>/v/>>>/co/
>>571666163LMFAO is this actually real destiny lore? Anon isn't joking is he guys?
>>571667545i dont know any of the lore because i dont look like this
>>571667545Very bad lore is still very bad no matter how many times you try to invoke "lore".
um
>>571667545see >>571664932
>>571666163Eris becoming a Hive god is still the dumbest shit ever
>>571668041see>>571667825
>>571666163Then Heresy says you just cut battle short and succinct to lessen tribute thereby making Xivu Arath a jobber. Bungie are retarded and can't write for shit just like how Rasputin for some reason had to kill himself to blow up all the Warsats because somehow he couldn't just do that without dying. The writing has all been contrived nonsense to fit whatever faggot retard is currently writing the story.

These posts are all one guy btw
>nobody can actually say what's wrong with the loreSo this is the power of /v/co/tv/.

You are being laughed at, people are making fun of you
>>571669709The lore is good. The story-telling in the game is bad.
>>571669680Is she still alive? Yes? Then we didn’t defeat her you fucking retard
>>571669709fags
>>571669687It's on a 4-week rotation now.
>>571669845Damn, thanks.
>>571669809>The lore is good.The lore stopped being good the moment they started trying to explain things. It was only good before that because you could fill the gaps with what you wanted.
>>571669809I agree, Eris Morn becoming the MOST powerful hive god that's EVER existed is honestly a pretty fantastic payoff after about a decade of buildup. It's so cool and awesome, Eris is fucking hardcore badass dude.
>>571669979What’s the problem with this?She basically plugged a nuclear reactor into her ass so she could cast a big spell and then unplugged it
>>571669524what? theres two whole rows for bright dust
>>571669979This but unironically.
Is this fag gone yet? Funny they probably killed the franchise internally during the week they hired him.
>>571670416Not on the main page, the main page is all silver shit now
is stasis titan the only good warmind cell build?
>>571669903The best parts of the lore are reading/hearing about something like Shin Malphur, then doing a mission where we find where he BTFO'd a Dredgen and there's a big fat golden gun spot on the wall.The worst parts of the lore are nu-Bungie pulling a mythical villain out all of a sudden and letting Marvel's Guardian Avengers own her over a seasonal activities retarded technicality that they came up with on the spot because we're superheroes
>>571670902the destiny playerbase prefers marvel writing though and they think it's the great
>>571671082greatest thing ever*
>>571671082They think it's the great what?
>>571669410>Xivu Arath was completely fucking wasted in and outThe story of every villain in Destiny 2
>>571671260the greaty boosh
>>571671082Is that why the game died during TFS onward where it actually picked up in full force?
>>571671437don't know don't care, all i know is that the remaining destiny fanatics that still exist apparently cannot get enough of the nu-bungie lore and they talk about it like it's awesome, which is funny

Why are all those titans in vault of glass?
>>571671881From the looks of it they are just turning Cryo into a dungeon. Also there MIGHT be one new map in season 3, it’s not even guaranteed. Genuinely wtf does that company do all day.
>>571672561ok but nothing changed
>>571669524Do you see the "View More Daily Offers" button on the bottom right of that page? Guess where it takes you.If you guessed "the page with all the bright dust offerings," you were correct.Someone at Bungie probably saw the 3 BD offerings on the main page and said it was redundant to have them on both, so they just reworked that page via a premade Netflix-style template (because that's what the new one is) to get rid of that redundancy. And probably a bean-counter wanting to maximize revenue on the product until the servers go down because Sony is currently breathing down their necks saying "make literally ANY amount of money to recoup some of these losses."
>>571673130>Genuinely wtf does that company do all day.knit
>>571672829The first thing I described was lore that was then reinforced in an in-game missionThe second thing I described was a shitty mashed together seasonal event

>>571673246you had to go to the tab to see all the bright dust shit anyways, only low iq low impulse controls care
>>571671881Its honestly amazing that the idea of a PvE roguelite never occurred to Bungie until very recently.>>571672414Did people still care for the lore after Forsaken? It felt like the wheels were starting to come off around Shadowkeep and it all went to shit with Beyond Light onwards.

>>571673982100% they did it just so they could have a constant revenue source, because Marathon isn't making money. Also they realized that having tons of daily bright dust offers is too good and therefore overdelivery.
This patch is shit and ruined the game

Is this why Bungie wrongfully fired the chuds?
>Marathon Season 3 delayedKek Marathon team is getting hit hard with the layoffs too. Maybe we'll get 60%+ of the company laid off.

>>571678149It’d make sense seeing the absolute genuinely flaming faggot they got to voice him the second time around lol
>>571677759Your knees. Now.
>>571678148What do you mean they delayed it? When was it going to happen vs when is it now?
>>571678521Was supposed to be August, now it's late September.
You can simply rape
>>571678854Alison, is that you?
>>571678712Surely it's not because they've already exhausted their intended 2 season roadmap and they need that extra time to modify 1 map since it was never originally planned and wasn't halfway completed 3 months ago... right?
>>571678148I just checked and holy shit you're right, they delayed it from August to late September. I have a sneaking suspicion this is a delay because they only have season 3 left and nothing for Season 4 or 5. Season 3 if it lasted 3 months and started late September would run until January next year. I have a feeling they are going to rugpull them on a promised future like they did with Destiny and the roadmap they said they would deliver, then Sony is going to rape them and shut them down.
If hypothetically marathon dies, do you think the devs would be able to do something destiny related then? Or do you think Sony would just shut bungie down at that point
Wait they fixed the emblem?SIVA FUCKING WON
>>571679820Shut down is inevitable. They would have to spin back up Destiny 2 and make it profitable without being retards again. Sony won't greenlight a Destiny 3 and won't continue to fund Marathon. I don't even think Bungie can do smaller projects because their reputation is already so tarnished that no-one will buy it. Its basically continue Destiny 2 or nuffin.
Are the servers shitting themselves or is dat jus me
