Bust Rodd posted:I thought the idea that giving each gun its own distinct identity sounded a lot better than random loot rolls and grinding your best perks and I really liked the nuts & bolts discussion of how fun testing in a non-combat situation doesn’t really represent what the guns are capable of. Yeah Random rolls were mostly a recipe for frustration. You're just adding another layer of RNG on top of the current loot drop RNG. If people want to replicate it keep a d20 on your desk and roll it every time you get a drop, if you roll 20 keep the gun else shard it because it was a crap roll. I would really like to see the ability to flat-out buy pieces from vendors though, for extra tokens. Collecting sets is fun. Also, I'm sorta  on the XP debacle. It was poorly implemented, but taking the least evil reading of it, I suspect the purpose was make it so that PE's were not "better" than Crucible/Strikes which would lead to bitching about how "only Public Events are worth doing". It's not like Bright Engrams are Terribly hard to gain, you get an easy 9 per week across all your toons. It makes sense given how PE's are short and filled with XP gain opportunities (every enemy killed, including several elites) whereas Crucible is mostly about getting one big lump sum at the end, with kills being a less reliable source.

Then IMPROVE the rewards in other places. The throttling was to sell more eververse bucks. They only care because they were caught. And the throttling was making even the x3 experience useless. It wasn't just chaining events. My exp bar stopped moving in all activities before they rolled back whatever the gently caress they were doing.

QuasiQuack posted:Chaotic is good when it comes to quick play, that's how it should be. There really should be options. If you want to be super serious ladder fightmans then 4x4 it up. If you just want to gently caress around then drop in drop out 12x12 or more capture the flag with sparrows, plentiful ammo, and extremely short respawn timers where stupid chaos reigns.

Did Heroic Strikes have a milestone in D1? I don't really know what the point of adding them in the expansion is when most people have 300 level characters, and if they don't, it takes like ten minutes to get there with 300+ weapons.

Seasons change with the release of the expansion it sounds like. You only have this IB to get the season emblem, but they said you'll still be able to get the gear next season.

Does anybody have the .ini string to unbind the mousewheel? I'm starting to get sick of accidentally rocketing myself in the face. Edit: Someone said it was an .ini, but it's actually an XML. If you edit cvars.xml at %appdata%\Bungie\DestinyPC\prefs you can change next weapon and previous weapon to unused!unused.

I don't care about xp. I was getting bright engrams at a more than generous clip. I just wish the game would make up its mind about grinding. You give me 1 token for completing a heroic event, the same as opening a random chest. You make getting a reward for the tokens cost 30 or 40 or so. You make the items we want drop randomly with the same garbage guns we're just going to scrap over and over so I have to keep turning in piles of tokens to try and get what I want. Then you secretly stop putting things in chests after a short amount of time trying to get those tokens? This isn't even a subscription based game! Why are the rewards so garbage, and why are we being punished for working harder to compensate??

You’ll still have your same characters On a related note, did someone here with the battletag Clockwork#1771 (I think that's what it is, Bungie's clan management interface is garbo) apply to Guardians of Chillbear? The clan's only got one more spot and I can't find a hit on Discord with your name but if you can respond here I'll invite you.

Because Bungie threw out everything learned over D1’s life because they thought that pvp balance was more important than fun The shootman loop in D1 is so much funnier, you’re quicker, have better and more frequent powers, and your guns are better in every way. It’s really terrible what they did to D2.

Wait like 10 seconds between engram turn-ins, it seems like it lowers the dupes by quite a bit. I notice lots of dupes when I just click all of them one after another and much less if I space it out a bit.

I am kinda digging the endgame of Destiny 2. Basically I don't have to play daily if I don't want to. Just focus on getting gud at PVP and chill/raid with friends once a week. Eventually, I will ensemble the most excellent armor/shader combo from the chaos.

They might not be mind-numbingly incompetent at not broadcasting their ill intentions like EA but let's not kid ourselves here. I would not be surprised if the reason vendors are out and lootboxes are in was to make the Eververse paid lootboxes stand out less. Edit: Plus a potential pay silver to buy exactly what you want from other lootboxes in the future option if EA hadn't suddenly lit the lootbox batsignal.

No you see using the same or similar shaders on the arms and feet shows that you have the knowledge and ability to make things match but chose not to. I'm having a bit of a hard time deciding how I feel about Be Thy Cipher. On the one hand it has dragons on it, but on the other hand shaders don't really make a difference so I can't make it really pop. I'm leaning towards "dragons>>color" though.

I got my full titan IB set minus arms, which is fine bc synthoceps. kind of enjoying the endgame where the gear is preference and the numbers barely matter. disappointed that war rig won't load coldheart. also can't decide between origin story and scathelock for pve, same with 7-6-5 and manananaman. cool that there are this many options for dunking on PEs and grinding strike tokens. what are people using as casual pve weapon sets? what about raid/nightfall?
