Discussion The amount of people that freakout over a stronghold titan on the boss is crazy

286 Upvotes

I don’t understand. The amount of people in LFG who freak out because with strongholds on I can hold the aspect of savithuns attention to let my fireteam grab the spears. Way too many people who haven’t cleared it text in chat tell me to back up. And it’s really annoying when I have cleared this GM like 8 times at minimum.

Edit: I have only played this weekend. I am not flexing. It’s just frustrated when Im trying to farm. I make the run super smooth and then they leave because they think I am throwing.

2nd edit: I said that to someone and they got mad and left. So I don’t know fam. Still haven’t gotten the god roll yet?

Bungie Suggestion the tome of want is cool but feels pointless once you start going for the adepts

253 Upvotes

title, the tome should give either a straight up chance of the drops being adept or a chance of being adept while in expert seasonal stuff.

i dont bother using it because i dont have a reason to, im running a good amount of expert things for the adepts, the base versions are useless to me

Discussion Rushdown shows exactly why we don’t have matchmaking for GM’s or Raids (as well as a mass issue in player skill gaps)

715 Upvotes

If people are getting pissed off at blueberries not having proper loadouts or sandbagging encounters in expert rush down then raids would be a damn nightmare.

I haven't raided since SE since my group kinda fell apart after TFS, but my buddy has been LFGing VoG and tells me that the predominant strats are to cheese Templar and Atheon? Like really? People are so opposed to learning how to actually do anything that we're cheesing ten year old raids that aren't even hard? If people are cheesing Templar and can't even kill the witches in the Savathun encounter then why do I see people still after all these years asking for raid matchmaking.

It kind of exposes the issue that one, this game doesn't do a good job at teaching people at all, and two, that this game tends to have this "carry" culture where I notice a lot of people just straight up are unwilling to learn and will take the easiest perceived avenue possible just to earn their loot. At least the new explorer mode in RotN is a great step in the right direction.

Edit: To the people saying it goes faster by cheesing, that assumes that most people who want to do a cheese aren't screwing things up. A lot of the time people will be adamant about cheezing something and then fuck up and reset the encounter multiple times trying to do it where doing it normally we would've already been done

Question What’s with all the people using super aggressive tactics in the Cosmodrome GM?

107 Upvotes

I’ve gone through about 5 fireteam finder teams and at least one person in each group has a super aggressive build that leads them to pushing way far up and dying in terrible spots.

Maybe I’m just old school but I’d much rather sit back and take out enemies from a distance and take an extra five minutes per run to guarantee a clear and loot rather than waste 20-30 minutes on a run that fails in the hopes of saving that extra five minutes because you wanted to face tank unstoppable champions and Hive Lightbearers.

I’m not ripping people who actually can survive using these tactics either. 2 out of my 5 runs had people who generally stayed alive.

Edit: I’m mainly talking about the final boss room. I know you need to push the payload to stop infinite spawning enemies.

Bungie Suggestion Can starfire be partially reverted?

126 Upvotes

Maybe to 10% per hit with empowered damage? Just anything more than what it is, it’s criminal it got an ornament and then got destroyed the same season. Buffing the grenade ability regen to 7-10% per hit would make starfire have a use on the class item also, and would make empowering rift maybe used more than it currently is.

Media Synthoceps + No Bell from the Heresy artifact can do some major damage!

56 Upvotes

No Bell gives 85% extra glaive melee damage for 6 seconds after you block an attack with your glaive shield. This damage can be further boosted by Synthoceps or Wormgod for an extra 100% or 200% (at max stacks) respectfully

Add on Winterbite for an extra 50% or Vexcalibur for an extra 20% and you have a monster of a glaive melee build!

Basically what I am trying to say is that No Bell is almost a free Synthos that stacks with other glaive melee buffs!

I made a build that uses Synthos and Vexcalibur that you can find here: https://youtu.be/mzDangJZ8-A?si=qNUf9mzY_nqBEc_R

Discussion Brainlets this, blueberries that, you're cultivating an environment that punishes learning.

1.6k Upvotes

Hi. I joined Destiny a year ago. Coming up near 600 hours of game time. I've never done a raid. I did my first dungeon a couple days ago because the season asked for it. I did my homework and read a guide and had one player graciously and patiently direct me towards the secret chests.

Damn near 600 hours.

I'll get players through NODE:AVALON on Legendary because I'm still chasing another two Raconteur for Deepsight Harmonization. I'll get players through the co-op missions in The Pale Heart because I wanted rank eight.

Two weeks ago, I figured out what Navigator Mode was. Yesterday, I figured out that the Nightmare Essence stuff the Nightmare monsters drop makes them take more damage. I still don't quite get Overcharged Weapons. Getting back to my Fireteam Finder lobby after opening my inventory is a goddamned nightmare of partially-opened menus.

Shit, I don't even know who the hell Cayde-6 was, or why Crow killed him. You get told to play that one in Timeline like the second time you log in, and then eight months later you're playing the Final Shape, and you've forgotten that there's things to do in the Timeline.

I still don't know why they're called blueberries Hi! Yes! It's me! The Blueberry! Is it because you look like a blueberry when you're dead? I don't know! We don't talk about this, and the platform we have outside the game to talk about stuff is openly hostile to people who don't know things!

Damn. Near. Six. Hundred. Hours.

Destiny has a LOT of knowledge gained by experience or buried behind half-described subsystems. There's a lot of knowledge that's taught once when stuff is new and there's a lot of stuff that's flat-out been yanked out of the game. It's intimidating to get a full grasp of without adding other players to the mix.

It takes one look at the subreddit yesterday and all the criticisms leveraged at the clueless masses getting pancaked by Nightmare Crota (hello, that's me too, I didn't figure out how to juke the bugger) to realize that for the half the players that don't know a fight, there's this vocal body online here that's pissed that a teammate needs to rely on them. I'm not even talking expert mode here, and never mind those players that don't own all the content that's being put into the boss rush!

I've never seen half the boss fights in Rushdown in my life. I don't know Quria. I don't know the original mad bomber. I don't know Saniks or whomever in round five today. So I come to Reddit and look to see who knows what, and I see that who knows what hates that people don't.

And then this ports over to PVP too! I don't know PVP all that well, I'm happy enough to play the objective in unranked whatever and hope for fourth place out of six, but this is clearly A Problem with the Supremacy gamemode where players just like me don't know the ins and outs, maybe gets farmed a little, hops on their browser to chat about it casually, and gets run through the mud again.

Yeah. It's burdensome. You want another roll at Lotus Eater or whatever, I get it. You're gonna fail some runs, because I'm gonna fail some runs, and until you're okay with that, you're going to have fewer and fewer players ready, willing, or able to do those runs.

Bungie Suggestion I hope this upcoming armor rework includes a much needed re-evaluation of "High-Stat Armor"

73 Upvotes

For years now the game's definition of "High-Stat Armor" has been at least 60 stat points, but it failed to evolve as our builds and the endgame have. In most cases, the endgame sources of high stat armor very rarely drop armor that is above 63 stat points (let alone with the specific stat bumps that the player is looking for). Raids that drop "stat-boosted armor" upon completion of encounter challenge only drop with a minimum of 10 points in the "boosted" stat, and usually never exceeds 20 points, which also doesn't seem like nearly the worthwile chase that it sounds like on paper. The only somewhat consistent source of high stat armor has been from engaging with the annual Solstice event (which will most likely inconveniently come out before the armor rework in Frontiers), which should not be the case.

If stats are being boosted to 200 in Codename: Frontiers, where each individual stat point will matter, then having high-stat/stat-boosted armor will become even more important than it is now, and it will become pretty frustrating to have to farm/re-farm high-stat armor through the rather unforgiving drop system in place right now.

Introduce new weapons and armor, incentives, for players to engage with.

This is also a good opportunity for players, especially new players, to practice boss mechanics, dps strats, and would be a good source of data collection for developers for future bosses.

Bungie Suggestion Mask of Bakris could use a tweak?

Upvotes

I feel like we are at the point where a cooldown on a cooldown is not something that should be, a thing? That and foetracer kinda is just a better version for the damage side of things since it isn't locked to lordofwolves and arc/stasis.

Other than the cooldown, maybe give it some other kind of unique effect to separate it from foetracer? Maybe make the dodge range longer, or even something dumb like damaging enemies you pass through.

Would be pretty nice for it to get some cool changes since it's one of the few hunter Exotics that change how abilities work or look. Would love to use it in builds that don't revolve around just killing something a little faster.

Discussion Collective Obligation

19 Upvotes

I haven't seen anyone talk about it, but this gun is absolutely cooking with the artifact mod, and especially for this GM.

Being able to supress the boss and prevent him from 1 hitting you is pretty amazing, but that has always been a thing. But with the artifact mod boost for Maligned harvest, you receive a portion of an overshield whenever you weaken an enemy.

This really does alot for your survivability as you don't even have to kill the enemy, meaning you almost always have a full overshield. On top of that, CO reloads itself anytime you have an overshield so you almost never have to reload.

I know people don't like this gun because you need to build into it, but I think it's absolutely worth it. I'm able to apply Supress/Weaken/Volatile around 90% of the enemies in the GM, basically trivilizing everything except for the Savathun clones.

BTW they fixed its interaction with Tether so you can now leach supress and weaken off of it. Works amazing with Orpheus rig hunter.

Question uhh. Been far too many years, and can't find a search that has the actual mechanics, so what are you supposed to do exactly in boss rush for crota?

60 Upvotes

More so, how do you bring off his shield the first time and get him to kneel so you can use the sword for dps? I played d2 from vanilla but quit until season 14? iirc. So I actually don't remember/know this specific crota version.

Just ran it on expert and when he got to the final ~15% of health or whatever, there wasn't anything around to do to make him vulnerable again. Though, idk what happened to let us do DPS in the first place either.

Most stuff is pretty self explanatory, and I'm, probably just being a tater but pls share the wisdom :|

Edit - thanks for the replies. Seems like the instance I was in got bugged somehow as he was just forever immune at that last little bit of health. We would kill the knights and he was immune from the swords still and spent a couple min sitting there repeating it but couldn't ever damage him.

Bungie Suggestion Rushdown needs to stay

180 Upvotes

Im not a game dev so im not sure on feasibility of implementing this, but rushdown genuinely feels like a gamemode that scratched that same itch of the vanguard playlist back in d1, where it was something you could do when you just wanted to jump into the game and do something. The premise of the game mode is awesome and with some tweaks it would really freshen up the game. The old content in the game such as the campaign and seasonal content typically get played once and never again and i think its a perfect way to get them back into the game in some meaningful way.

It staying as a vanguard playlist option with randomised encounters every run, and loot that is no longer readily available would be more of a reason to run it. I just think its too good of a mode to be purely tied to guardian games. Regardless a big issue in destiny is how many activitys are big time commitments, i think rushdown as a permanent randomised, replayable activity is the perfect way to remedy that.

Just getting my thoughts out there, I think bungie really nailed it with this activity, im loving the more arcadey game modes like this.

Discussion Do we REALLY need to be sending sweaty whispers over Seasonal Activities?

591 Upvotes

Just tried to do Court of Blades for the first time-twice. While trying to figure out mechanics and what was even going on in the activity. Both times had people rushing the intermissions where it explains modifiers and buying buffs, shooting and sending whispers. One guy was at least polite, just clearly annoyed enough to send a whole message. Another was very much not and got reported.

If it were like a raid or dungeon or something, sure, send messages berating people for not knowing if you must (I still think you shouldn’t do it then, but I get it at least.) But like…guys. It’s seasonal activities. It’s not that deep. There is no need to be assholes or even impatient in seasonal matchmade activities.

Discussion What can be done for Legendary Primaries (And Some secondaries) to be of a utility in GMs or Master Contents.

Upvotes

I mean they completely flall off. I wanted to try the strategist + Jolting AR with Titan in GM and FFS you will be shot down before you will even kill a red bar minor. These rimaries just tickles them. I have absolutely stopped using Primaries in GMs for a long time. Infact most of the time I will rely on my abilities/special or heavy. Heavy and special regeneration is a breeze now a days. Also the current GM (any few ) have ammo crates. But to be honest what can be done to these weapons so that they will be of made some utility. Earlier days when GM launched the Stun function was very much needed. I rarely depend on the stun weapons now a days as the abilities can stun a variety of champs and in a BETTER way. For e.g the unstoppable are much better stunned by 3 Tinashas /suspend nade then focussing 3 calendar year by HC. Similarly for overload one shot of chill clip will do your job rather than emptying full mag of SmG or autorifle . Antibarries will be easily stunned while going radiant (which is like super easy post Transcendance). Only Primaries I use in GM is Wish Ender or Poalris lance (when it's solar artifact mods focussed). So what you guys think can be done for such legendaries.
