The reminder that you show up on the radar even by walking leaves me even further confused at how walking instead of sprinting around alleys seems to lead to me catching the seemingly psychic x10 killstreak players off guard when trying to sprint flank them would result in 360 no scopes that would stuff me in a locker and steal my lunch money. If I'm walking and I show up on the radar, shouldn't that give them twice the warning then.

Though the habit was as much of that is because my old time in Hawken taught me that "Walk makes you not show up on Radar" was a thousand times more valuable than my literal cloaking device.



Yeah, I had a feeling that would be the answer. So I've finally started using it now that I'm beginning to get a meager collection of purples for all my spacemans.

The fact the even "Quantity" filter in game gives absolutely zero gently caress is just :cripes:

"How many Tone Patrols do I have? Three! Across two pages and with a minimum of 15 other items between them!"

"How many 265 power Be Thy Name armbands do I have? Five, across three pages. But at least two of them are next to eachother despite having different blue mods?"

Also thanks for the MIDA tip. I was planning on finally doing the MIDA and Strum quests after the next powerful bump.

EDIT: Entirely frivolous complaints. Why can't I spin my Guardian on the character select screen? :colbert:

Because if you're sprinting it takes time to ready your gun, so they're getting their third headshot on you by the time you sight in.

Looking back twenty years later, it's not the best writing in a Bungie game (I would argue the pre-mission journal excerpts from Myth TFL do a better job of expressing the bleak fatalism of a low-fantasy world than their inspiration, the Black Company books) but it works well within the context of a 2.5d Doom clone.

Myth never gets enough love.

Even with the things about D2 that are kinda crappy I can still see the same love for details that were previous Bungie games. I think a big mistake they made in Destiny was going for a savior story in an MMOish game. It's goofy how we hear everyone slobber all over your guardian and talk about how special you are when we are constantly grouping with other identical guardians who have their light. If they had started with a story anchored in a shared experience that might've pushed them towards something more interesting.

The whole 'the Light!!' Jedi religious stuff is also kinda boring except for the fringe hints that we are all bastard space zombies. That also hurts the story since warlock zealot lady is tedious leaving us just 'wacky' Caede and straight man lieutenant Daniels.

Pretty much as much recovery as you can then resistance then as low mobility. I'm at 1/8/6 on my titan because I can't get a drat recovery titan mark mod.

Stack recovery and any resilience over 4 has diminished rates of return. Mobility isn't great in pve, but helps you strafe faster, which is nice in crucible, though how much that helps on PC is more of a subjective thing.

Not every mod is available for every slot as far as I know. There's this spreadsheet, which I'm not sure is up to date, but it checks out with the mods I've got.

Recovery at 10 means it takes 2(!!!) seconds for your health to start recovering. Unfortunately only Warlocks can achieve this and Titans can only hit 9 while Hunters can only hit 6.

But yeah, the only real important breakpoint is 4 Resilience, where you can survive a high impact Scout Rifle hitting you with 3 Headshots and 1 Bodyshot or a mid-high Scout Rifle hitting you with 4 Headshots.

6 Resilience lets you survive mid impact Handcannons from killing you in 1 Headshot and 3 Bodyshots.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Having low Recovery does feel pretty crippling in PvP. If I make an alt, I'm all over Warlock simply because of that. The difference between low and high like is a few seconds but it feels like an eternity.

I'd be more inclined to run Mobility if it affected sprint speed. Although I think I'll mess around with a high Mobility loadout at some point just to get a good feel for how much of an advantage the strafing can possibly give.

Okay, so. Not including the few I've turned to scrap for being wildly outdated, or used to update my lucky break purple mod arms.

My Warlock has...

7 Legendary helmets, and 1 exotic.
3 Legendary arms (now 2), and one exotic.
3 Legendary pants, and one exotic.
10 Legendary Armbands. Five of them being Be Thy Cipher (Which looks nice, but come on).

Zero Legendary or Exotic shirts.

Is my :rolldice: really just THAT terrible, as I crack open yet another Tone Patrol from my Engrams? At what point should I start wondering if something screwy is going on rather than just bad luck?

My Warlock at this point has more playtime than my Hunter and Titan combined, as well as having more purple armor bits owned than my Hunter and Warclock combined… But my Hunter and Warlock at least have a purple or exotic to fill out every slot with, wowie zowie.

Further souring the mood is this goddamned power scaling creeping me into being WEAKER rather than stronger at semi regular intervals now. "Oh great, my 269 Skyburner now doesn't quite kill Strike mission legionaries in two headshots today, like it was able to less than 12 hours ago. No I don't need a fourth 265 Call To Serve and a second Philomath helmet" Which is odd because I was two-shotting them just fine in my last playsession, and haven't gotten anything better than 265 duplicates or 262 blues I was getting then too.

I mean sure I'll feed my millionth call to serve to my favorite little exotic to bump it's power by a whole +1. But the fact I see these dips in effectiveness in basic content due to bizzaro scaling at all is just, ugh.

Best source of purple gear this week is the Faction Rally. There's a bug right now where you can farm the same Lost Sector by leaving out the back and turning around. It's how I got my Hunter and Warlock most of the way to raid-ready in like an hour.

my second character is already a warlock, and i think the main reason id use it in pvp is because the ults seem like the most useful for it. void bomb is like a bonus big grenade/area denial plus you have devour, dawnblade seems functionally the same as the hammer one for titans (ie a trap i assume?) and people spraying lightning at me has only ever been terrifying when i've seen it, whereas the other two titan ones are both only really useful if you get a good flank because running towards someone is really just a good way to die

Holy gently caress I feel like PvP has taken a major nosedive in the past few days. I used to be able to hop into a quickplay and have fun random vs. random matches. Now it feels like I'm running into nothing but loving premades in at least 75% of my games. Its gotten to the point where the first thing I do is check clan tags, and if it's 2+ the same on the other team and my team is a scattershot I just quit out. I hate doing it but getting farmed is just not fun.

I think I might just give up random PvP games during the week after work and only queue on weekends when I can set aside time for a goon group. I loving hate when games don't filter premades out from solo queues.

Warlock jump is the best.
1. Select the one with midair directional control
2. You can press space mid glide to drop down
3. Dont take blink, its bullshit. People say its good in pvp but i never seen anyone use it for any kind of success. In any case there is no need to subject yourself to it in PVE
4. If you are still struggling just jump instead of running when you travel through planets, youll get the feel of how it works
