I enjoy normal mode more than hardcode raids because having the revive mechanic. But is true that is a balance thing. The dificulty is not gone because people will be revived after 30 seconds, it will simply flow somewhere else.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
It also depends on the encounter mechanics.

Like someone dying (permanently or for 30s) at confluxes or Templar means everyone else has to step up but it can be done.

Someone dying at totems or during Oryx is almost certainly a wipe, simply due to mechanics.

So when they redo all the supers for each element are they going to explain the changes with like a karate kid montage where they're like "our old tactics were ineffective, we need to come up with new ones"?

word, just wondering if anyone knew anything; I've been trying to 'read' Hive language recently; they speak in ideograms/pictograms, just like we saw in the Black Hammer puzzle that you get after disassembling it for Spindle. Today I discovered (decrypted?) three more on top of those, the rightmost ones in the image, which correlate to Warpriest. His monuments have those same three runes, and they correlate to the specific "word" for the Taken-type attacks that he will use against you as each of his monuments is demolished during the Fight. I crib from Taken Grimoire as below:

- Left (upper balcony) rune is [Seeking/It Will Find You] per the Centurion chugger orbs. ("There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [it will find you.]")
- Mid/Center rune is [Retaliation], the Taken Hobgoblin special attack. ("Your function makes you a priority target. You will be equipped for retaliation.")
- Right rune (lower balcony/porch area) is [Can't Find Me/Blind], the most obviously "defined" one IMO because it looks like a squinting eye, and it correlates to the Taken Captain's Howling Blindness Orb attack. per the Grimoire ("There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [you cannot find me].")

I don't know where the left three come from; maybe Golgoroth.

Quoted reply image repost for posterity, maybe I'll post more later with the screenshots I took of the Warpriest monuments, just wanted to slip this out there in case anyone on SA has done anything with this:

If you havent bubbled WoL on the walkers lrg and blasted away with your 4th horseman youre doing it wrong.

Hawkmoon was great in its heydey and would still be a top tier choice of they didnt reduce its base range by 20 loving points.

Currently fine tuning power ammo availability right now for all game modes. (PvP and PvE).

Rumble is gone (atleast for now).

Less chaos in PvP, plays slower, more predictable, understandable, learnable. Pacing is good

Time to kill is a little longer and it was done intentionally, as a net result of small changes.

Motion Tracker has a set distance at which it picks up enemies. It's not uncapped unlike D1.

PvP maps are designed with a specific mode in mind.

Crouching will still pulse but tuned down a little. More time stealth.

Yeah the 250 gb Samsung is the same exact price as the 120 on Amazon, so what the hell. 100 bucks isn't bad for how much of a difference it can make. I haven't played Destiny in a little bit but my consumables menu really seemed to be dragging rear end lately when I was playing.

Let's maybe hope it does so they bring back old modes, intro new ones... I feel like after everyone at Bungie was made to read Databases For Dummies, they're equipped to handle gameplay gripes in a more timely manner.
