bumping this ultra niche game's thread for trans visibility
>>575805278Wrong general please refer to >>575795074
>>575805550>n-no, you must have meant the marathon threadseeing that it's more active than this one, no, this is the right general
>>575806136To be fair all of the browns are up and discussing it. Destiny is an American man's game and you gotta wait for us to wake up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-gVXR7ThnoITS FUCKING OVER
I thought we had to study its comeback or something
>>575806314>even during American time there is like one reply every 10 minutesCope.
>>575806361>In this scenario I made up, Marathon is deadHonestly, Bungie getting rid of Destiny first lead to a much funnier scenario because now you guys are constantly seething at the younger disabled brother getting all the attention.
https://x.com/moji_irl/status/2082614923025342666>this dude got old builds to run on pcbros?
>>575806725Its 8 EST silly brownoid don't you know most gamers wake up at 10? Oh what am I saying you wouldn't know because you only watch twitch streamers all day
>>575806841Its the 2013 pre-alpha build of the game which I think is on the internet archive. Its pretty interesting but doesn't include much actual content its got 1 mission on venus, 1 strike on venus, venus patrol and 3 crucible maps and like 1-2 crucible modes. Its interesting that The Skywatch used to be a crucible map apparently. That build also has the Vault of Glass but none of the scripting or activity stuff just the zones.

>>575820234
>>575820078>arc crashing out tookek, this truly is the most astroturfed fake hype game genre in history
You chuds better be nice to Hippy or she's going to send her security team after you.
>>575822076Is this bitch just addicted to lying or something
>>575822076Like thats going to stop her from claiming the Destiny chuds raped her.
>>575822076locking your account is an admission of being wrong, in this case lying
>>575822076>the very thought of accountability terrifies youshe'd know all about that
>>575820679it made an absolute shit ton of money tho
>>575823563No no it's bloody fake and hype astroturfed saar. Marathon is the real extraction shooter that the people want. Kindly delete your post.

>>575824437>when they tell you that they liked the old story tone and lore better and that the new shit sucks so you have to hit them with that "seven straight therapy session seasons" stare
>>575820410I expected Destiny to be lower than this already. Obviously those aren't good numbers but still.
>>575836125The Destiny numbers aren't amazing but they're still better than what Marathon can get while it's free to play and launching a new season.
I'll give you 3 guesses as to which one of us is the [[[elite]]]pvp main
>>575836125Its worse if you look at it from Popularity.report's playercount. D2 is naturally declining because people have lost interest due to a lack of new content and Bungie stubbornly working on Marathon, and even then its still outperforming Marathon. Fucking Edge of Fate and Renegades outsold Marathon during the Steam summer sale even.
>>575837165neither of the warlocks
>>575837165Does wearing IB armor still give bonus progress
>>575840401yeah but it's like 10% max I think, not worth it
Are we back?
>>575842063Are you lost, fren?
>>575842063surprised they're still even supporting that game, not that it was bad but it got extremely repetitive fast.

>decide to indulge in some red game with iron banner>game never drops below 120fps>game stutters for a solid half-second any time a player appears on the screenI rarely use the term "unplayable" but this seems to be one of those times where it is appropriate. Anyone else experiencing something similar?
>>575845619Known issue
>>575806831Is this seething here with us right now?
>>575843915Rising team was also affected by layoffs, and with the quality/quantity of new content being so shit people have been suggesting that NetEase have a skeleton crew running vibe-coded and AI designed non-updates.

Reminder that only 1/3 of the Last Days At Kraken Mare lore book was ever released. I was written by Seth Dickinson who wrote the books of sorrow and all the other good lore.

>>575822076The thing I don’t understand is why was she even there? Like she already expressed hatred and disdain for what she felt was unfair firing from the company, the original “burning bridges” video released on the eve of TFS launch basically alluded to how she felt like she was passed over for things due to Dmg being best boy. BPD hoe
>>575855456She's a grifter wannabe booth slut that last i checked had latched onto warframe. So she is still "involved" with the industry and is expected to go to cons.
>>575842063What is this slop?
>>575855456Hippy lives for attention
>>575856947Destiny Rising. Don't know who the chick is
>>575858876Oh shit, they're adding new content to it finally?
>>575859667I tgink they've rolled out a new character every other month since release. There's been new missions, matchmade activities, and other nonsense with every character release. There's only been one "expansion" released so far with a new area and loot table. I have no clue if this is an expansion or just a character release.
Maybe if homeboy spent as much time playing as he did bitching, he wouldn't have place 5th.
>>575862894You know, the one thing I was looking forward to with that AI game assistant overlay they apparently killed was the possibility of having real-time translations for unsupported languages. There is a whole world of games and communication that would have opened up.

>>575865496If Bungie wants to live they'll make damn sure it continues in one form or another.
Chat, have I missed any updates from Jason Jones or Tyson Green since the layoffs?
>>575868327Anon...they both got laid off
>>575868942Tyson Green I 100% would have been laid off, but Jason Jones probably took a golden parachute.
>>575868327in the report Jason was let go, idk about Tyson though

I need a PvP build for Iron banner, never touched red minigame and pve builds are ofc not really workingcan be either Hunter or Warlock
It's time, post ya gawdiansBonus: Fits put on for Iron Banner
>>575870536Put on the Boots of the Assembler and Lumina>>575871264I can't post the same goydians for the 10th time... Somebody give me a build to shoot for and make a terrible mog around (nothing past Lightfall cause I don't have the final slop or edge of slop). I never hide my exotic
>>575871723What class and/or subclass?
They should've upped Sturm's damage and made it a special weapon.
>>575871723I dont want to be a meme heal guardian when most things kill you in under 2 seconds
>>575871781Whichever I don't really care. Although I haven't unlocked strand on Warlock somehow after all this time, maybe I should. Threadlings always looked silly to me
>>575870536I'm no Trials sweater but the good thing is that since it's 6v6, it's mostly Random Bullshit Go! and making sure you stick with teammates so that you're not constantly taking 1v2s like my dumb ass.>>575872096Strand Warlock is pretty fun, going for max threadlings is a good time and watching all those little rascals chase a Hunter around a corner and eat them alive never gets old. Do you fancy playing Strand Warlock with the Demosuffussion helmet?
>>575873036Well that helmet is out since I don't own the relevant content but sure why not
>>575804658
>>575873195Ah, I forgot that part. But Strand is fun, the Needle melee has good range and you can rapid fire it.
>>575873906Probably will go for Swarmers then. That'll make for something to do which is different from the usual behemoth...
>>575871264
>>575870536Void hunter, stompees, spare rations handcannon and shotgun of choice. Congrats on your unique build.
>The Zoetic Lockset may be a group of Shriekers, but they don’t actually take precision damageSo that was a fucking lie.
My time has come. Thank you /dg/
>>575805550Why are you slandering your future home like that? Everyone here is destined to become Runners once Season 3 drops.
I guess I'll go next.it's been fun /dg/, hope to see you all elsewhere, or even back for another Bungie game.
>marasissies have decided to show upGood. I was looking for some holes to gape.
>>575880919
>>575864345Lol nothing like getting gaslit by Dmg and Bungie in full disbelief that their jank ass game would be full of jank. It was the same thing with how poorly optimized Marathon is/was? where people are rattling off more or less top of the line hardware and getting very unimpressive performance.
>>575880919See you tomorrow
which one of you faggots bumped the Marathon thread it was about to archive and I wanted to make fun of it as it did
>I won't leave /dg/ until the day i see marathon die with my own eyes
>>575879454>he doesn't know
I want to use a machinegun as a general purpose weapon, you might even call it a general purpose machine gun, while using special ammo for DPS, which weapons should I go for?
>>575884715conspiracy honed for dps, service of luzaku for machine gun.
Sony earning's call stuff soon /dg/, will you be reading it?
>>575885207>conspiracy honeddoesn't that overheat in like 2 shots
>>575886675Only if "fired everyone from bungie into the sun" is in it somewhere.
>>575884715DSC/VoG lmg, Choir of One for dps. Bring void surges.
>>575887327with the right roll you can shoot 11 in a row
>>575887327after that first reload you can shoot it for much longer because of dynamic heat limiterits a little awkward and can take getting used to so praedyths is second best option
>>575887395Choir of one for DPS?
>>575887870dps is the one thing you cant use choir for
Ugh just wipe
are we wiping?
>>575884120>the lie was a lieSo this is the power of the Pyramids. Time to go get Anarchy and 1KV, I guess.
>>575891607you can kill zoetic with one melee. look it up
Is Witchfire good? I heard Aztecross shilled it and Eso also played it.It's a SP extraction shooter, apparently.
>>575894594>extraction shooterBleh
>do a few legendary missions on my warlock to work towards unlocking Strand>absolutely decimate everything Damn we really got too strong. Probably shouldn't bother with Legendary though, it's not worth the hassle
>>575899054the only point of legendary campaigns are emblems and the extra loot at the end for power leveling.
>>575899459Well I already got that emblem back then when Lightfall came out so I think I'll skip the rest
the chudlings did it bros.they fucking did itit was beautiful
It took me 12 years to learn what dattos real name is
How are we going to thank Datto for 12 years of service to this community and game?
What are some good close range primary energy weapons for pvp?Currently running the minitool, but not sure if theres better options (or what rolls are even good for it)
>>575912992a burst sidearm go for stuff that increase stats and damage like lone wolf, headseeker, precision instrument, tap the trigger, moving target, etc. SMG's are fine, but sidearms tend to be better for fast burst damage in a pinch.
>>575894594>extraction shooterwtf is this mental illness? just play a survival game ffs. >but i'll lose my stuffgo take it back
>>575894594Witchfire is excellentAsk what you want to know, I'm ready for shameless shilling>>575898471>>575922197It's about as much of an "extraction shooter" as you can "extract" in basically any rougelike - at any time by making your way back up to the surface
Sorry guys, this place seems pretty empty, and it reeks with shit, so*Takes a massive stinky, loud poopy on destinycucks*Ah! Back to my Warframe thread, to enjoy good game ;)
I forgot, does light level matter in Iron Banner?I remember it used to
>>575931398noIB is now more like unorthodox gamemodes rather than LL advantage.
You gotta be fuckin' kidding me.
>>575903184Stefan Urquelle.
>>575903184Urgelius Nequate
>>575903184It doesn't matter since she'll be changing it soon.
>>575934097Dmg is a bunker bunny
Why are there so many newblights in the EDZ?
JingleBaza, do you want to play Destiny 2 with me?
Does your performance in Iron Banner matter at all? I hate Destiny PvP so much but want the 4 set for PvE super spamming builds.
>>575938195no, not really
>>575940697You usually get more drops when you get a higher rating.
>>575940697What do you mean does it matter? For getting loot? Because yeah, you get more engrams for being good. My advice is to stick with teammates and get assists. Use thorn or le monarque. Use suppressor grenades because you will look like the most scrumptious kill feed snack if you group up like that.
>>575886675Posting it and highlights from Tassi's article>In Sony’s new earnings report, the company addressed Marathon and the state that it’s in. And Sony remains positive about the game. There’s a singular line that Sony had about Marathon in its report, after citing other live service games like MLB The Show and Helldivers 2 as contributing “steadily to revenue.” That wasn’t said for Marathon, but rather:>“With the release of Season 2 in June, Marathon has maintained a high user retention rate while also acquiring new users.”>The oft-cited Steam charts show that the launch of season 2 of Marathon spiked the game to 40,000 concurrent players on PC, where I can report that the game has a 2:1 ratio of players of PC versus console, so that is the majority. >Since then, concurrents went down close to 5,000 before nearly tripling to 14,000 for the mid-season 2 update, which brought Marathon’s first full-on PvE mode.>I think this is a more traditional spin on the numbers. Concurrents are not all players, and Sony may be referring to a core group of players that have stuck with the game since the beginning, as it has very much engaged a select group. The problem, of course, is that group is very small. >The overall point here is that Sony is publicly backing Marathon once again. It’s not reporting financial loss from the game in the report (that doesn’t mean there isn’t one), and there are no more Bungie impairment losses this time. It may be spin, but Sony is still talking about the game positively instead of, say, not mentioning it at all, which would be a bad sign.>Of note, Sony, of course, does not mention Destiny 2 at all, a game that saw an enormous player surge in the wake of its final update, which clearly has high user retention. Its current figures, even after declines, are likely 10x or more past what Marathon is doing, particularly with a higher console percentage, which we can’t see publicly, unlike on Steam.
>>575894594I was quite decent in its earlierst versions, but it was long ago, no idea how it fares now. I heard they added a bunch of QoL to make the game suck less, which is always good. The game vaguely resembles Destiny in certain things, and the devs cited Destiny as inspiration at some point. The world messages appearing in the feed on the left of your HUD were shamelessly copied from Destiny. I personally hated that most weapons took a radical Destiny approach to fall-off and, with exception of maybe the sniper rifle, will fire bullets that turn into wet noodles beyond the 20-30 m range. You starting weapon back then was the hand canon, which was a really weird decision, and I hope they fucking added a visual distinction between charged and uncharged melee.
Erm...
>marathon so shit and irrelevant retards aren't posting about it in their own general
>>575942864>Mogged not only by the ancient MC Collection but also Campaign Evolved>A game that isn't even multiplayer onlyJesus fuck
>>575943381>marathon is so irrelevant I'm discussing it right nowHoly fucking shit, you guys just bitch and cry all day. No wonder Bungie gave up on this series. At least they left the servers up for newgods to try it.
https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/>"With the release of Season 2 in June, Marathon has maintained a high user retention rate while also acquiring new users."Okay, well, Sony is just straight up lying to investors here
>>575943634You're brown.
>Worked at Bungie from 2006-2015
>>575944328When I was in school around that era they called it positive discrimination. They were trying to program gen z with soviet style cognitive dissonance. I wonder where that came from. Thankfully it doesn't seem to have worked on boys because they treated us like shit but glazed the girls with endless praise and leniency. I hope they are just as unsuccessful with gen a.
It's uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyQwNv3i00o
>>575943990Of course they're lying, even though its not a new IP its essentially treated as a new live service IP, and its a terrible look for it to already be dying out just 3 months after launch.
Rhulk is the most Reddit raid boss of all time.
The Traveler really just made all of its own worst enemies, huh.>refuse to talk to witness' species>they sperg out and refine themselves into a collective consciousness for some reason (granted, the witness being retarded isn't the traveler's fault)>refuse to have the leviathan talk to the krill sisters and tell them that they only have to hold out for a bit longer and/or that the god-wave is a ruse>they receive the worms from the worm gods instead of the ghosts from the traveler, become the hive, and begin a billion-year interstellar killing spree>refuse to tell the eliksni archon-priests that the hive are coming after it and that they should prepare to evacuate>they get blindsided by the one-two punch of the arrival of the hive and the traveler cutting and running, suffer literal apocalyptic losses multiple times over, and become a species of interplanetary refugees, pirates, and bandits>a portion of them blame the traveler for this and move to hunt it down
>>575945636Not giving this faggot any attention. He needs to die with Destiny alongside every other cock swallower of Bungie.
>>575946135*Calus
>>575946223The Traveler is unironically a bratty tsundere loli, who if she doesn't get what she wants throws a fit and only in the end reluctantly asks for our help
Im really confused on why marathon is still being supported by sony and I wonder how long they are gonna keep it runningSurely they aren't gonna do a whole 10 years of marathon like bungies 10 year plan with destiny. The only thing I can think of is the people who are currently playing bought out the whole store in the effort to keep it alive because there have been multiple posters showing proof they bought everything from the store
>>575948000>Why wasn't this Destiny!? It all makes sense now!
>>575949505Destiny is an Activision project. Marathon is a Sony project.
>>575946135No. Rhulk should've been the design for the witness instead of megamind. He also has the best boss fight music in the game imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nb3RIVb_hM&
awesome another game against chinese players with 500 ping and sub 1ms reactions times very nice
Hollow Words aging as well as it did is hilarious. >innate anti barrier in MoT>adaptive munitions>repulsor brace>take trace and void weapon support from tablet of ruin>holocaust barriers and redbars and everything elseAre there any other random ancient seasonal weapons that aged strangely well?
>>575943990>sony mentions mlb the show and helldivers 2 in their live service games that get revenue>doesnt mention marathonThis is the most telling part
>>575946223>>575948000The Traveler, at least from what is implied in Visions you collect to obtain Khvostov (I think), comes off as an almost braindead autist which wants to communicate properly but is physically unable to respond through any means except maybe some vague metaphorical visions, and apparently the precursor race from which the Witness was born didn't even get that.
>>575943990>>575951696Maybe they meant "Players in Discord" like last time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Aiok9-eew
>>575949969It probably boils down to just this. Activision and Bungie themselves funded most of Destiny's development, meanwhile Sony paid for a handful of expansions alongside Marathon and all of Bungie's cancelled incubation projects. They're clearly more invested emotionally and financially into Marathon because that's where the bulk of the money went to.
>>575945636Paul in his Doctor Who phase.

>>575954135I'm sorry I just can't take anyone seriously that talks about DEI like 20 years ago. This dude is just another goofy online; don't give a shit if he personally set up each platform in Donkey Kong 64 using a Nokia flip phone.

What an odd admission to not include marathon in the part about generating revenue
>>575956737>Didn't include Marathon in the section of live service games contributing to revenue
>>575957250comeback comes firstrevenue comes later
>>575957365Maybe they can just pay people in good vibes so they don't need to lay anyone off.
>>575956737>didn't mention destiny eitherso destiny is also actively losing money? what's your point?
>>575957820>so destiny is also actively losing money?probably not because right now they are just paying 1-2 shmups to make sure the servers don't die, but it's abandoned. why would they mention it?
Bungie itself is probably still bleeding money so what does it matter
More content is being removed
>>575959736Oh no not dishunctionAnyway
>>575959736they are going to nerf the europa set if they ever make a patch ever again.
>>575959736>disjunction Oh no... Anyway I think red minigame sets should be the only ones enabled in red minigame. Yellow minigame sets in yellow minigame. And nobody cares about Gambit because nobody plays it (still more than other game)
>>575959736Huh, I kept thinking I was tripping that there were only 2 zones.
>>575960848disjunction was easy to cheese, you just cap A and you get double progress.
>>575957820Why would they mention a dead game, now say why they dont mention marathon in the paragraph about revenue
Xur has the Fafnir catalyst, if you're missing it.
>>575961783>i don't believe the "good retention/new players" report about marathon, but i will stick to arguing about the way they structured the whole gaming report partwhatever floats your boat
Lmaoing at all of the anons who didnt know the secret trick that speeds up catalyst progress on fafnir
>>575959736Just disable PvP all together and let me buy Iron Banner engrams.
>>575963112Companies are not allowed to outright lie but they are allowed to spin the truth. They don't mention marathon in the part about revenue because if they did that would be a lie as marathon hasn't generated any revenue.Them stating they have managed to retain users is not a lie but its also not the whole truth.If a thousand players play every single day then they've retained those users.Bungie used to flub these numbers a lot back during destiny seasonal releases, they'd use the people who logged on once a week for the story as report that their WAU was strong, even though a majority of those players dropped off until next week
>>575940697When you get sick of capping the most points while your team are brainless huntards dying and losing. Just afk macro for 50 games.

>>575968741It's 50% DR at max stacks. It is a noticeably massive buff on ultimate/gm content. With woven mail and banner of war up, plus the right chest mods, you are practically immune to damage.
Stasis as a whole should've been disabled in PvP, strand too while we're at it.

Is Arbalest good for anything but shield breaking?
Release Cryoclasm was balanced
>>575957820The difference is that D2 is no longer relevant for Sony. Sony outright killed it so Bungie would have no choice but to work on Marathon and they wouldn't have to talk with investors about it anymore, it is a finished product they're largely done with outside of hotfixes. Marathon is supposed to be the main product and service that is driving Bungie, and they refuse to talk about it's financial performance at all. They're just lying to investors by talking about it "retaining players" when that's an outright fabrication, it has less players than the game it is meant to replace. That's not a promising sign while they're proudly boasting about other live service titles making them money.
>>575971280Both of it's perks have to do with shield breaking...But yeah, if an enemy is shielded in any way, arbalest will 1-tap that shield, get that round reloaded, and immediately do an extra 50% more damage to that target for 5.5s, which is how long it takes to dump the mag. If you use an armor set that focuses ammo generation, you can use it as a primary. Nothing kills shielded enemies faster, but that is all it's good for., since that's what it was made for.
>>575971664All 30k of the people left playing marathon, have been playing since launch. But that's not abnormal for any live service game. 90% of the people playing Helldivers2 each week, or *** ******* each week, have been playing since the first month.
Can I cheat my way into a fuck ton of synth weave? Or just Cheat my way into unlocking every piece of gear for glamour?
>>575974479It really doesn't take that long to get them.
>>575975017It's one a week though right?
>>575974479You are limited on how many you can get per week. Bounties give you 1 and you get 1 bounty for each class per week up to 10 after you completed the ones you have available then you gotta wait for more. You can also buy the synthweave templates from the chronolog kiosk but it costs 500 and you can only get one every 2 weeks. So if you want to unlock everything I'll see you in 5 years.

The greatest mistake Bungie ever made was convincing themselves that they were a totally competitive PvP capable studio, removing one map because it has issues in all crucible playlists really highlights how it should have been nothing more than a mini game.

>>575980109Halo 2+ were legit. Even 5 and Infinite's multplayer was good. The problem is taking aPVE game and trying to make it a high speed lo drag [MLG]420noscope game.
got its so cool getting out-sniped at scout/sniper range by hand cannons with a million bonus to aim assist i love this godshit game so much please help
No way any handcannon wins at actual scout range
>>575980656I mean the Halo games at least worked because they were simple, Destiny on the other hand is permanently held back because they tried to shoehorn PvP into a Borderlands/Phantasy Star clone to disastrous results because they want it to competitive when it's just goofy fun at best.Also funny you bring up 5 and Infinite, because they are fun, but that wasn't even Bungie made. I don't know how many ex Bungie or even Destiny Devs work on Halo and 343 now.
>>575979738? This isn't some new revelation, unless you're some kind of newfag. The entire game industry taking a swandive into the shallow pool of social justice has been at the forefront of online discourse since the early 2010's.

>>575982867Yeah, but I figure Halo 5+ just goes to show that it was a winning formula.
>>575982962It's a biased rewriting of history. Dude unironically said, "Thought police," like, dude, you design video game levels. Nobody gives a shit what you think. It's not that deep.
>wow what a cool ability! I bet we'll get to use it some day!I wish the warframe devs owned Destiny. They would've let us have cool overpowered shit.
>>575984641Overpowered is fucking boring.
>>575983843It really isn't though. People would post their personal and political opinions on social media, or otherwise make them known through apparel, merchandise, etc., then would get reprimanded or fired by left leaning HR departments. "Cancel culture" was coined because of this phenomenon. #metoo was a subset of leftist cancel culture, which saw which saw hundreds of high profile video game industry personnel, fired over what wound up being false, or embellished, allegations of misconduct. There were social and cultural incentives to claiming you were a victim of SA, and whenever anyone asked what happened, stories were created, which were then immediately looked at by HR departments, who decided to err on the side of caution, and fired anyone that a public allegation was made against. Again, all of this is common knowledge, was hotly debated at the time, and the fact you are disputing it either means you have ill-intentions, are too young to remember, or are dangerously ignorant.
>>575976015Yeah, I looked and it said all that. I don't want 1 synthweave a week. That's stupid as fuck

>>575987245120's will 3-tap out to 70m. Jade Rabbit will 3 tap out to 200m. Hung jury has a faster ttk than all handcannons when out past 70m. Handcannon aim assist stops at around 70m. Stop fighting handcannons with scout rifles at 50m. Use an smg or sidearm when closer than 20m, use an assault rifle that isn't rapid-fire for 20m-80m, make sure it has high impact rounds. You now have better ttk over every handcannon in the engagement ranges you appear to be playing at. >if you weren't playing close, you wouldn't be complaining about handcannon when using a scout>>575987210The scout used by that center hunter can roll with rampage and kill clip, it has the fasteat ttk in the game out past 40m.
The only good looking dread unit were the grimEverything else looks gay and retarded
>>575991758Correction, that hunter is using the pulse, but same diff. Transfiguration is what you want if you HAVE to use a scout.
>>575991783But what about psion with a hood, blue psion, green psion, tall blue psion, and tall green psion???
>>575987210The way they force exotic appearances is so stupid. It's not like knowing what exotic someone is using is actually going to make any difference whatsoever.
>>575924008>Ask what you want to know, I'm ready for shameless shillingTell me about the gameplay loop, the weapons, the enemy design. What cool things you can do in it.And the bad.
>>575992863And most people who get pissed off and wonder what they are using usually take the time to inspect someone's gear
>>575993162nta but people have compared it to Destiny with wands.
>>575992863Somehow I have to wonder if overlaying an exotic with a different armor or worse yet a different one wouldn't cause issues. It's a different sandbox, there has got to be some spaghetti code involved.
>>575992863Being able to see at a glance that a Titan is using the Feedback Fence absolutely makes a difference.
im at 505 power so why arent vendors dropping tier 5 gear yet
>>575993910Don't you still need to get your guardian rank up or be 520? I suffered through the levelling in EoF, so I could just be wrong.
>>575995007i was always told get to 500 to get tier 5 gear but there's nowhere in game where it tells you directly what you need to get it from vendors. which is really annoying because i've been able to farm for tier 5 gear since i was light 10

All right, /dg/. Now that Destiny has taken its final shape, where do you believe that it peaked?I say Witch Queen, if only because that's one of the only candidate years that I was actually here for.

>>576024885Season of undying. I didn't play during year 2 so when I got back in y3 there was a shit ton of new content rather than what forsaken players experienced which was a super short campaign with a bizarre cliffhanger and a shit season with 1 good weapon in addition to a huge tractor cannon nerf. I miss the firing line sniper rifle meta and classic izanagi's burden. It was either autoloading tranquility with anarchy or izanagi with autoloading full court love and death. I also miss doomfang in its apex form. You used to be able to get melee energy from shooting enemies with anti barrier weapons. And the melee kills for doomfang awarded much more energy than they do now. You could shit out bubbles like the modern guardian shits out orbs. And the content availability was nice. Although they failed to bring the y1 content up to an acceptable standard, the sheer amount of things to do from y2 was enough to keep people around for months. If they just raised the difficulty of old content, there would have been no reason to delete any of it. That's what they had done for the y2 seasonal stuff. But they never bothered with the y1 adventures and campaigns. So it was a waste of space. Same shit happened when beyond light came out but arguably worse. All of the y2 and y3 raids and destination content was sunset even though you could still fucking earn it. So 70% of the game's content was pointless.

>>576026167In Australia, "pom" or "pommy" is a nickname for British people. You'd really be reaching to call it a slur. It can be disparaging, but it can also be a term of endearment like how New Zealanders are called Kiwis.This filter is somehow even more egregious than the Souls games, and of course these fucking niggers made it impossible to disable it completely because they think they have a moral duty to protect people from badspeak or whatever. I haven't seen anything like it.

>>575993162>1/5I might have overdone it somewhat. Oh well>gameplay loopDrop into the map and get around to fight enemies and persevere, defeat bossess, collect loot and currencies, do both static and random events, manage to get out without dying or you'll lose everything you gathered so far, spend the spoils back in your hub on leveling up, new equipment and abilities, get your build going, prepare and drop in again, maybe even upping the challenge for even more - that's the most basic, superficial gist of itNow, let's do an overview based on that description>Drop into the mapThere are 7 unique maps with static layout and assigned chief difficulty level. Don't get discouraged by the low number, the maps are non-linear and quite sprawling, with many nooks and crannies to explore, minor map-unique mechanics, well hidden secrets, are vertically and horizontally generous, and are quite diverse in both presentation and how they actually play. There’s no timer, you are completely free to explore and interact with everything the map has to offer, which also gradually opens as you interact with all of the game’s overarching systems. To add onto that, there are *almost* no invisible walls, so you can use your movement ...>get around... to sprint and dash and slide and jump and double-jump with crisp control and speed almost everywhere. All of the movement options can be improved by other mechanics of the game, be it aspects of speed, range, efficiency, offensive or defensive effects, dashing mid-air, using recoil of some weapons for extra movement, etc. - the only notorious mechanics from other games absent are bhopping and some kind of rocket/grenade jumping, presumably due to the general absence of explosives, which leads us to ...
>>575993162>>576046223>2/5>fightYou always choose your equipment prior the run, and it stays with you for its entirety. The way you unlock equipment is varied, but it’s mainly achieved by research, which ticks down automatically by going on runs. New research options unlock as you interact with the game’s scaling system, which I will describe shortlyThere's about 30 ranged weapons divided into two categories of different ammo consumption, normal and special/demonic ammo, and general subcategories like shotgun, bolt-action, handgun, full-auto, etc. with static, unupgradable stats, but most importantly, 3 levels of unique, special powers, the so called Mysteria, that are unlocked by playing with said weapons and spending level-appropriate unlocking currency, and that really define how they actually play and perform - these powers are diverse in effect and frankly are quite ingenious and engaging all across the board, with only a handful of weapons being somewhat underwhelming. This, however, does not apply for the special/demonic weapons, for these are intended to be very limited in ammo and only be used in emergencies or for specific targets.The same regarding the 3 unlockable Mysterium level system, gameplay, performance, variety and effects can be said about the many options in equipment and build creation, be it a ring of choice, a fetish, a relic, and especially spells, which are further divided into two categories of Light and Heavy spells, with 11 and 8 to choose from respectively.A special mention goes to the Rosary, which is customised by choosing particular beads that are hidden around the maps and carried by bosses, and that provide yet an additional layer of player customisation with varied powers, stat boosts and effects, usually of the passive, but some very interactive and potent, built-defining kind.
>>575993162>>5760463733/5Spells, and some weapons, are also assigned one or more of the classic four elements, that provide different effects, i.e. water/ice freezes, fire increases damage taken, earth/decay gives a DoT, and air/shock makes affected enemies get part of the target damage. Elements can mix for increased effect, like setting frozen enemies on fire makes them explode. Both Heavy and Light spells work off of charge, which is replenished by kills of normal enemies or by damaging bossessThat charge system also applies to melee and 6 different melee weapons that also provide variety of utilities and different solutions how to dismember ...>enemiesEnemy types chiefly follow Minor and Major enemy formula regarding their prevalence in spawns and encounters, with stats and abilities reflecting the power level. Again, variety follows, with all kinds of melee, ranged, spell-casting, support, aggresive, or defensive enemy types, with some being unique or map-specific – there’s well over 60 different enemy types and bosses, with majority of them unique in their ingame behaviour and associated difficulty and approach of defeating them. One thing that I need to mention and that I absolutely adore about enemies is special AI behaviour for certain enemy types – like Assassins attack almost exclusively from around the corners and actively try to get behind the player by running behind and around objects, or if enough Musketeers are present, they form a firing line and fire salvoes
>>575820410>halo is barely managing to hold above 10k on day 3 alreadybungie should be taking notes. real success here.
>>575993162>>576046520>4/5>persevereNow is a good time to mention the random, or roguelike/lite if you will, elements. There are always 7 pods of enemies spawned per map, that differ in location, difficulty and enemy types present. Each pod defeated unveils the ability to pick up run-specific random bonuses, the so called Arcana, with max three offered to choose from (with two revealed and with one picked for free; the third can be revealed and others can be picked for special, run-specific currency randomly found on the map, so 21 possible run-specific bonuses can potentially be picked) per each defeated pod, which generally falls into categories of enhanced loot, stats, abilities, spells, elements, and weapons. These pods are reshuffled every time you level up in both constitution and location, which servers the intended ability to conquer a map on repeat tries but a new experience and challenge once you level up. The pods aside, there’s almost constant stream of enemies spawning from the map exit portal, that first protect the portal and second hunt you down and disrupt whatever you’re trying to do. There are also traps and infernal mechanisms to spawn, map-specific or pod-independent special and event enemy spawns.Then there are two special run-specific mechanics that further increase and randomise difficulty and enemy spawns by punishing mistakes and taking unnecessary risks, but that I will not delve deep into. They may or may not be interacted with at all, fully dependent on whether you’re good or catious enough, but you may intentionally activate them as well to get that adrenaline pumping. There’s also optional challenges that you activate prior a run with additional modifiers and extra rewards that may even yield new equipment, the classic
>576046223>There’s no timer, you are completely free to explore and interact with everything the map has to offer, which also gradually opens as you interact with all of the game’s overarching systems.Well, I see they added 5 more maps since that early build I played. Did they do something with the calamity system? I remember they promised they would do something about it. Calamity was fucking aids. Every time you started a combat encounter or were undoing witch minefield traps, the game was incrementing a hidden counter/timer to get the witch to notice you, which, when full, would immediately start a Calamity - a sort of map event which you have to complete or run the fuck away into the evac portal because otherwise the Calamity would instakill you as its wipe timer runs out. Calamities ranged from manageable (kill a miniboss) to Utter Disaster in the Fuckup Town like that one calamity which raised a bunch of dead guys to fight you AND lowered your health to 1 until a Calamity is resolved, so basically you had to kill entire waves of adds without getting hit once, or you're dead.
>>575822278She should get addicted to my dick
>>575993162>>576046664>whoops, that's quite a few more part, so 5/XNow you may wonder what governs the scaling of the game’s difficulty. Enter the Gnosis system, which you interact with at your own volition, and that is completely independent of level-ups and ergo your stats. Each achieved Gnosis level, new and harder enemy types are able to enter the fray, new mechanics are added into the game, new research options open to get new equipment, extra Rosary slots for beads, new maps open as well as new areas in previous maps are now open to explore, and your witchfire gains are increased as well. It’s all about choosing your own tempo and your perceived challenge you can handle. Achieving higher Gnosis is permanent.>bossesTo be honest, bosses really aren’t the highlight of Witchfire. Don’t get me wrong, they’re fun and all, but there’s only a handful of unique ones and a bunch of mini-bosses that are just buffed normal enemy type with a unique model – sometimes not even that>collect loot and currenciesLoot and currency have both permanent and run-dependent iterations. Leveling your character’s several stats is managed by spending the main, very much soulslike currency, the titular witchfire, which you get by looting chests, doing events, but mainly by killing enemies. Then there’s valuables (which are run-exclusive) that are exchanged for gold (which is permanent) when successfully extracted, and these are only found by doing events, looting chests or killing bossess. Gold is used together with witchfire for trading and buying optional consumables that you can carry a limited amount into each run, and that you almost exclusively buy from a vendor for gold. The alternative use for gold is that you can use it for speeding up research.
>>576046664>>576046725>>576046520And I think they also promised to rework the leveling system, and I hope they did, because previously in the earliest builds the game used a sum of ALL your attributes to determine encounter difficulty and started spamming fucktons of shielded and more challenging enemies upon minor stat investment.
>>576046878>>576046858>Now you may wonder what governs the scaling of the game’s difficulty. Enter the Gnosis system, which you interact with at your own volition, and that is completely independent of level-ups and ergo your stats. Each achieved Gnosis level, new and harder enemy types are able to enter the fray, new mechanics are added into the game, new research options open to get new equipment, extra Rosary slots for beads, new maps open as well as new areas in previous maps are now open to explore, and your witchfire gains are increased as well.

>>575993162>>576046858>apparently 6/6 it's in the endYou may also collect crystalized witchfire that is not lost on death, which is, yeah, just like Souls games. The tertiary currency potentially found on the map is solely used to get more Arcana bonuses and is exclusively run-dependent – you start with none and none is transfered. Last, tiered currency are Mysteria Incantations used for unlocking equivalent Mysterium levels in equipment. Spending a Second Mysterium Incantation unlocks the second level of Mysterium on a piece of equipment and same with the Third Mysterium Incantation and the corresponding Third Mysterium, and higher level Incantation being much rarer. You die in a run, you lose everything that you managed to gather; all of your witchfire and valuables. Those are the main random/roguelike/lite elements.>do static and random eventsMaps can have a selection of events, which randomise independently of level-ups – every run has a new set of random events. These are usually little minigames that serve as a break from just fighting, with some simple fun designs and sometimes quite substantial rewards. The static events on the other hand are map-specific and can be described as dungeon delving, usually with a timer, that play as a series of challenges, encounters and puzzles on the way through, and specific and unique mechanics associated with them.At this point, I suddenly stopped and realised I’ve written 6 posts worth of text and that I have a debilitating autism. I’ll continue only if you’ll want to know more.
>>576047006>You die in a run, you lose everything that you managed to gather; all of your witchfire and valuables. Those are the main random/roguelike/lite elements.I don't remember if you said it: dying drops all your witchfire in the latest place of death, like in Dark Souls, so you can go and grab it to at least save the witchfire you had on your corpse. Dying dagain while there is a corpse with some witchfire in it will overwrite the previous corpse and delete it with all witchfire you didn't reclaim.
>>576046878>>576046985Yeah, that was a really shitty design to begin with. It's been fixed quite well I'd saySame with World Corruption and Calamity events - they're no longer timer based, they increase as you fuck up or take every cursed object or profane gift you come around>>576047132Shite, I forgot that. Also if you'll go on a run into any other map or you extract early, it gets deleted as well

They really fucked up, because they just simply refuse to give players atleast something worthwhile. And reasons for cutting out survival sponsored are "muh economy" and "muh splitting playerbase".

>>576066304>Build a giant playerbase that enjoys solid campaign and competitive FPS gameplay with an extremely successful franchise>Create a second super successful franchise that builds on that exact thing but adds RPG-like character building and loot chasing>Relaunch a super old franchise but it's an extraction shooter that's also a hero shooter without real PVE at launch and obviously loot is meaningless since you drop it on death>expect your other playerbases to engage with this
crazy that helldivers 2 is bringing in more revenue in its second year than marathon and destiny combined
>>576069229Bungie spent a lot of time and money making sure that only insane retards will give them money at this point.
>>576069229didn't they just announce the new warhammer capeshit warbond doebeit
>>576070079Can you speak like a normal human being you weird little fuck? Yes though, they just announced a 40k warbond.
>>576069229Even if they are making more money they are slowly becoming bungie with their practices and the community everyday is slowly getting as retarded as destinys community so im dropping the game before I fall for the same shit again
>>576070235The HD2 has BEEN as retarded. From the start it's been nonstop bitching and moaning about how dogshit they are at the game until Arrowhead has capitulated and because they capitulated, the playerbase is literally never fucking happy. They just whine and seethe and bitch and moan about every little thing. Not that Arrowhead is blameless, but the community is utterly fucking insufferable.
>>576070534Yeah I agree that its from the startAs soon as people started defending "grunt" simulator and "just run away" that i knew the community was retarded. All it took was a couple seconds of dev gameplay to see they get absolutely filtered by level 7 difficulty is all I needed to know that the devs dont care about the game their making and its destiny all over again where they are designing it around singular metas and difficulty around content creators
all i know about helldivers is that it got a halo crossover and that reddit doxxed and got some guy fired over him asking the devs to stream the game on the highest difficulty and give their thoughts on the games balance.
>>576070901Oh yeah I remember now they had their own joeverload moment
>>576071252how does someone get fired for that
>>576070901>As soon as people started defending "grunt" simulator and "just run away" that i knew the community was retarded.Nah, see, you're already wrong from the start. The game is SHIT now because it's braindead fucking easy because whiny little niggers NEEDED to play the game at the highest difficulty at all times. The community would literally just refuse to git fucking gud. I couldn't play more than a single mission without getting bored because every stupid little cocksucker can run around and complete Super Helldive solo. Every time any challenge is introduced the playerbase shits their pants. The game does not require teamwork, coordination, or any amount of thought. You run the same stupid no effort overpowered bullshit and steamroll every mission. It baffles me how modern players will cum and piss and scream about pve games having any challenge nowadays.
>>576071408when you have a dozen epic chungus redditors calling you and telling your employee is a pedophile, you're probably gonna fire him to make the calls stop.
>>576071449The challenge was>hurdur super elite enemy that require 1 stratagem or 2 shots from anti heavy weapon to kill is now spammed all over the placeAnd it was fucking retarded. The cyberstan shit was literally proof that shit is practically impossible to play if those niggas will not stop launching missiles and 1 shot lasers at you. So most of the time your gonna bring the the good stratagam that completes the game for you and extract easily because of it. Variety in swarms was great because oh shit im getting denied by a bile titan and flanked by stalkers is actually good design but when you start spamming war striders and factory striders that means you have to bring the one good stratagam that 1 shots them otherwise you get filtered and feed your revives. The game design you want is inherently bad and its what actually killed the game
>>576024885The Taken King.
We wuz taken and shiet
i have takentaken a shit
GO THE FUCK AWAY LODI YOU ANNOYING FAGGOT
Why isn't it a Marathon emblem?
>>576071976Nah, the highest difficulty should be bullshit. Like other anon said, the game is too easy now. No matter which strain of bugs, which robo-faction, or illuminate force, you can solo it with ease. Just bring the basic turret, another turret or mines, 500kg/orbital laser/support weapon of choice, and whichever backpack you want. Coyote/lib. pen./pacifier/blitzer/crossbow + grenade pistol/senator depending on wether you need to close holes or two tap bot heavies.
>>576078325Destiny is still Bungies main game
oh no no no
>>576078680He got raped.
>>576078325>Yeah, this game is no longer supported and we sold you all out but please PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GIVE US MONEY, WE NEED TAX WRITE-OFFS
>>576078680Maragods...
>>576068178The irony is that I feel like the more subdued PVE-only Cryo shows how ungodly flawed the entire thing is and barely worthy of any sort of big time gated momentous end game. The bits and pieces of insight start to make more and more sense when Bungie clearly tagged in dickheads like Skarrow for what essentially seems like consulting and pretty much signing off on the design that isn't exactly the most obtuse puzzler shit but it feeds into this hardcore fantasy that doesn't translate into reasonable gameplay. I understand the desire to contrast with a close quarter map and a extra hostile environment, but it sucks fuck when the characters are arena hero shooter supermen that can bounce around and have more bombastic action as it erodes from the usual pacing of an extraction game. It's not a test of skill clubbing somebody in a 10ft by 10ft box and every little corridor is this prime bait area to camp. It's exactly the same problems a lot of zone trials maps had where everybody would just cover doorways and cubbies until somebody decided to fuck up first, it's just scumbag undeserved play.
>>576066304I see you picked up on how the copium of "no you guys, these are actual good numbers for an experimental extraction" type language. That's the new one that I see, "well no you dummies, isn't it obvious, Bungie has more leeway with Marathon because this is a weird sci fi themed game and any sort of grounded shooter will naturally have more people playing it because people like milsim"
>>575945142I know people will cringe, but it literally is people trying to fill what is essentially the god/spiritual hole with almost fanaticism for their views and politics. It's thinking that if I prostrate myself with "the right views" hard enough on full display to show people I'm "one of the good ones"(whatever that even means and more importantly in who's eyes?) that will absolve me from my whitey sins and we can end all the hatred and injustices because the longer I talk about this stuff and sins of the father stuff it starts to sound like I'm about to start measuring skulls and go so woke that I'm a race scientist. I'm not saying people need Jesus but I do think there has been so many lines blurred because of people's less religiosity, volunteerism+community and most definitely being so disconnected from other people and out of touch, that it just has them way too fucking drunk on their own supply of bullshit and trying to look for all these virtues at every single corner. Perfect example is how with a lot of inclusion things is the stuff the completely nukes any semblance of class and full socioeconomic discussion and that's how you have somebody who literally had slaves I'm sorry servants,bodyguards and tutors, in Lagos on the board of trillion dollar company talking about how people need to check their privilege. I hate to sound so cynical and it's obviously not like there aren't some legitimate points to be made, but a lot of these people rise to power and play people for fucking chumps all the damn time in such a shameless and ruthless manner. There's always that snark "give me confidence of mediocre white guys", fuck that let me be some overeducated brown person with neurosurgeon parents tricking my boss thinking I was sleeping on burning garbage in my home country before collecting a few special awards for my achievements.
>play a different looter shooter>every single gun is just a stat stick
>Fang of Ir Yut is strand nowFor what purpose?
>>576089163Because turning a bunch of existing guns into strand was easier than making new strand weapons.
>>576086306the irony is that the same brown people and third worlders that these DEI and woke cucks love to celebrate and put on a pedestal are some of the most unwoke and socially conservative people that exist. these third world browns are incredibly corrupt and engage in rampant nepotism, along with incredibly restrictive social mores (especially around women and minorities), but somehow it's white people who are holding them back? i don't understand it.
Gather them. I will rape them all
>>576078680I was watching Aztecross reaction to this and this turdo guy is retarded.>Why are Destiny people so mad at Marathon, Marathon didn't kill Destiny. Marathon not doing well meant Bubgie had to make the hard choice of shutting down Destiny. It was never meant to be the main game.Okay despite Marathon taking resources away from Destiny and shitting up development, they decided to kill Destiny before Marathon even released and turned out to be a flop. Marathon was absolutely meant to replace Destiny after Bungie mishandled their budget for their studio and Destiny.>Y'all are being weird haters lol so embarrassing Yes because Bungie took a giant shit on its fans with no accountability.>Destiny could not go on forever, it needed to be like Call of DutyAztec was right, Warframe is still going, they did not need 700 devs to make content for their game and go bankrupt but the retard blames Destiny as if it isnt Bungie the one mishandling development of Destiny.This retard deserves any hate he gets.
Can you guys hand me some GOOD hunter pve builds? -50 capable would be sweet

Which is only logical considering who made it.Anyway thanks for the writeup, I suppose I could ask for some details about banger weapons for instance. Is the wheelgun any good?
>>576097268works on my machine
>>576092607Marathon was also just a seasonal activity/alternate gambit mode that was in development back in 20'. Only after the Sony buyout, when they found out marathon was nothing more than a title, did they take the work being done on D2, and made it into an entire game.
>>576097268What region/system?
>>576098691EU PC, been doing this the whole day>>576098303I genuinely believe the game either can't find people to match me against or the placement queue is fuckedI had 2 matches the whole day and they were complete stomps (for us), went on a 27 streak in one of them
>>576086306Heres a fun neuro fact, 15-35% of the population have a reaction in the brain that activates during "religious" experiences. The actual faith is secondary but the pressure it exerts almost always applies.
>>576078567But then all you have to do is just use that shit and it kills the other stratagams/weapons because they are useless to use when everything is a walking tankHigh difficulty show have high frequency but not every unit should be a fucking war strider
>>576100950It used to be like that on the first patch, then they bugged the spawn rates of heavy enemies and they forgot so instead of fixing that they had to rebalance the whole game. Swedes are retarded.
>/h/dg/ - HellDestiny General
Destiny is hell
>>576071976>hurdur super elite enemy that require 1 stratagem or 2 shots from anti heavy weapon to kill is now spammed all over the placeAh yes, the days of 8 factory striders on a single defense map but they couldnt fit so they clipped into each other and crashed.

>Keep him aliiiiive...buuuut have your funnnn...you have earnnnned it...
>>576098096>I suppose I could ask for some details about banger weapons for instance>Is the wheelgun any goodAll the wheel gats are really solid, and, as a matter of fact, if you go full-on Revolver Ocelot and equip all the -Eater revolvers, you get a unique Trinity buff that further enhances the Mysteria of the revolvers and their weapon switch speed>although the game primarily always reminded me of PainkillerI'd say it's quite obvious they're Painkiller devs from that revolver fact alone. And it's especially true since one of the best damn weapons in the entire game is, once again, a stake gun - Striga. Mastering the firing arc and pinning enemies to a wall is always fun, and it performs exceptionally wellWhich leads me to my second favourite, the nail gun Martyr. You shoot a bunch of nails and then rip them flying again repeatedly from place to place, target to target, enemy to enemy, while they damage everything while in flight and deliver combined damage to the magnetised target. Some of the most fun I've had with any weapon in any FPS
>>576099736That or your network is fucked up. I have no issues finding competitive matches in East US.
>>576105434Nah, i find matches basically immediately for anything else, IB Crucible Gambit etc
>>576105749No idea what to tell ya then. I did my placement matches recently myself and never had a queue time above 5 minutes.
>destiny players when they have to count to 6 instead of taking 20 years to kill a yellow bar
VoG is just too complex
How do I check a weapons ammo capacity stat?
>Another week of no twilight garrisonsigh
>>576109538Bro, your Praxic Vestment?
The complication of Destiny raids is just learning where things are and what they're called. It's just language skills. There's no actual combat difficulty or challenge. You're just getting people to synchronize their silly dance moves in a randomized order.
>>576109538Titan isnt the aerial class chud
>>576109913Yup and its fun
Jokes aside, where does low-man Root actually stand in terms of difficulty if you compare it to dungeons? Does it beat out SD and VH for top 1 or is it still only top 3?
The average destiny player can barely stand on a plate let alone pass a ball
Does gutshot straight work for anything other than primaries?
>>576112572It seems like it exists on 1 (one) special weapon (path of least resistance) so a little hard to compare
>the encounter that filtered millions
>mfw when guardians have balls
>>576112131Can't you literally solo the fucking Raid?
>>576113192SAY HELLO TO MY BALLS
>>576113192Why didnt they bring him back?
>>576113435It's possible in that some have done it and none of the encounters require another person to relay information, it's not completely trivial
>>576112725Your post just reminded me that the shooting range exists. Anyways an A499 Refurbished's non critical does 490 damage does 588, a 20% damage increase.
>>576113638
>>576113775Not sure that's worth it unless you're shooting at something that's doesn't have a crit spot?
>>576112131Its pretty much harder than all of the dungeons due to you being on tight timers and having to do all the mechanics yourself. Without using movement exploits like wellskating or shatterskating you will really struggle. The time limits are probably the biggest thing since dungeons don't really do wipe timers.
>>576109538I could forgive that if they didn't absolutely rape Titan skating. Fuck anyone who said skating was antithetical to Titan's class identity when the complete opposite is true.
How long will the comeback?
>>576115038wrong general
>>576115087u sure?
>>576098859Hello SAARBlessings of Vishnu upon you!
>>576114746People don't understand that mobility is most important for tanks/intiatorsIt's why blink dagger is first item for such characters in Dota
>>576114052Yeah but then that begs the question of why shoot at something with a refurbished if it doesn't have a crit spot.
>>576115462>assfaggots retard thinks his opinion matters

>>576115889Using that one kinetic ammo artifact mod at close range for reasons I guess
>>576118072>Using that one kinetic ammo artifact mod at close range
>>576119298Yeah but imagine a rotation
>>576119698>imagine a rotationNo
imagine a rape
Not like it was any good but didn't they give solar warlock d1 titan's empyrean bellicose as well as twilight? And then told titans that these things were more of the warlock's identity than theirs?

why are marathon players accusing us of raping them on their general?
>>576127239persecution complex

The profanity filter is going haywire. I guess they were trying to expand it one last time.
>>576130840When did they force this fucking garbage on everyone? It was totally optional the last time I played.
I want to learn a bit about damage rotations but I'm not a hunter so I'd also like to learn about all the auto loading effects.
"""Rotations""" are fucking lame. I'm not playing a tab target mmo you're a fucking dork if you buy into that shit in destiny.
>>576130840What did you say exactly?
>>576131680Well unfortunately I'm tired of getting damage mogged by almost everyone else in the fireteam.
To this day I still don't know what the Veil is
>RotationsJust hold right click on 1KV, T-crash and use one loadout for the entire encounter. Also it's fucking funny seeing huntards clamouring onto hierarchy of needs as dps king.Who actually gives a fuck when truth, 1KV, infinite ignition warlocks, t-crash falling star exists.

>>576133112>3 maps>progress reset at the end of each season despite the original game of the genre and its devs pivoting to make loot and gear evergreen>the only ((("endgame"))) activity is a limited time event and currently features a spawn system worse than anything the entirety of the CoD and Counter Strike franchises have produced, to date.>terrible gun balance that invalidates all but a handful of the already low amount of weapons available, despite being an "extraction" shooter meant to incentivize being a deplorable loot goblin>current design of maps, mixed with gameplay elements/design leads to an environment where the player is at odds with the pve mobs in a way that incentivizes avoiding everything but a few key areas in/on any given map>did i mention it only has 3 maps? 3 maps btw>game, and devs for that matter, cant decide what it wants people to do and constantly fucks over people in either solo, crew fill, or trios que depending on how everyone at the office feels for that season/patch cycle>a whole cacophony of general fuck ups and issues sprinkled around plagueing this already plagued patient>"rEcOn NeEd ChAnGe, MaKe GaMe BeTtEr, MoRe RuNnEr PlAy¡¡¡"truly, the most intelligent slopathon player
>>576131979The word "something" is censored. Seriously.
So do secret chests just not drop weapons in raids since MoT? I’ve done the vog chests almost every week and haven’t gotten a single weapon, and before you ask I stopped playing shortly after final shape so I don’t have any finished red borders for the raid

>>576144876they gutted it after lightfall was over
What they did to Ward of Dawn can not be reasonably described as anything other than intentional sabotage. Like who the fuck ever complained that it was too small? It was already awkward to position it somewhere that wouldn't be in the way while being easy to duck in and out of to refresh Weapons of Light, but I guess it doesn't really matter since there's no reason to use it as long as there's a Warlock running Well on your team, and you can bet there will be if they have a single clue.
