you know now that i think about it by recoil they probably meant the randomness in spray from what you're aiming at, not necessarily where the gun travels. i can see pointing your gun precisely at someone's head with a mouse and then having your shots spray around it in a perfect outline being really frustrating but probably unnoticeable with a thumbstick and autoaim

A Buff Gay Dude, Iron Banner broke me. I did 3 sets of dailies everyday for a week and never got my hunter boots.

Now I see the cold and uncaring world for what it is, a joke where the only punchline is time and the only one laughing is Bungie.

Please pat my head and tell me the boots will come back

Its weird because if you take an autorifle and unload at a wall without moving the mouse, it'll travel straight up that wall in exactly the pattern they said they removed

The most popular guns have ways to practically negate video game recoil/spreadk on top of the fact we have KB+M instincts probably isn't helping matters for working out the situation, yeah.

Meanwhile, other guns...

I love the Hard Light and I got lucky with the chrome skin about five minutes after I got it from Xur. But I got spoiled seeing piles of yellow numbers pop out when pointing automatic weaponry in the general direction of trash . (Hold still you pesky fallen, the Vex don't try to duck and cover and make me shoot them in the rear end to death :argh:)

Then you have stuff like the Scathelocke, where following the armchair gaming commander mantra of short controlled bursts means it's going to have the worst accuracy of all time. instead of going full rambo and watching it switch to super accuracy racking it across a pack of enemy skulls.

Real talk, I love the sway reduction/Under Pressure perk conceptually because it encourages you to go full Rambo like a proper space action hero. It makes missing feel good, because you are missing voluntarily by firing wildly into the air on the way to the next enemy target.

Ok, so is anyone up for helping to coordinate some of the goon community before Season 2 and XPac drop?

From where im sitting we could:

1) get a new thread going
2) Consolidate Overchill Destiny goons and HOTDOG (https://discord.gg/5aVkDfP) into a straight up Destiny discord (https://discord.gg/ej6HBMR), instead of everyone just always being split up up by 3-5 different discords
3)purge and consolidate clan stuff so everyone still has friends to play with

I've taken your suggestion and made more channels in our Discord.

Thanks!

Uuuuuugh. I would really like the "Auto-loading holster" perk more if not for the fact it decides to just not do it's job at the worst possible moments.

30 seconds tops of not having it out after having fired all it's ammo? It filled itself for you! Spending a solid two minutes of combat around without having had time to manually reload it? Nope, still empty.

Its the most goddamned embarrassing way to get myself killed, running up to a nearly dead event boss, those special servitors that trigger heroic, etc. Pulling out my shotgun or grenade launcher, and seeing it's still loving unloaded. I can empty out my power ammo, switch to my assault rifle to fire a single mag, then back to my power weapons all topped up and ready for me. Why is it deciding when I need it most, after having not used it for a solid minute, that I can just go gently caress myself?

What missing factor am I overlooking here? Does it get confused if it hasn't had power ammo pickups within the last 30 seconds after getting completely emptied out? Because the most common time this seems to happen is when I've got a drought of power ammo for a while, manage to grab one or two boxes finally, and pull it out a minute later only to find an empty magazine.

Big thanks to the peeps on discord for running through Leviathan with me for the first time. What a gigantic convoluted mess of a dungeon. I'm used to instances being more like WoW 40-mans from back in the day.

I got a couple useful upgrades but all three exotics I got as loot were duplicates of the worst ones I already have. I swear they make it do that poo poo on purpose. There's no other way.

There is a sound cue for when its been loaded for you. I have the sneaking suspicion the time it takes to reload like that is tied in someway to the reload time stat.

I must be overlooking the sound, but that still leaves the question of Why can it reload an emptied out magazine in the time it takes to fire a single assault rifle mag most of the time. Then decide "you know what, gently caress this auto-loading gig" and leave me with an empty magazine when I finally reach for it again halfway through an event or boss fight.

"I didn't have a spare moment to load that bit of ammo I got a literal minute ago, but at least I have an auto-loader-oh it's empty." But if I just want to really unload on some trash, yeah sure max out my magazine between weapon swaps.

Okay so there is already a main Destiny Goons discord (which is remarkably enough called exactly that) and then Overchill/HOTDOG are pre-existing gaming communities who are also playing Destiny 2 so people are hanging out with both groups. There are a few other servers/clans for small groups of friends that play together that opened up membership to other goons when we were having issues with every clan ever filling up because of the stupid 100 person limit.

You don't need to create any more discords and people in Overchill/HOTDOG are not going to leave their servers to join whatever new discord you're thinking of.

Oh fun fact.

The original 1907 Ben-Hur was important in US case law because it established that you actually had to pay to get the rights to make a movie based on an existing work.

That being said, there is really only one important Ben-Hur movie and that's the 1959 one.

From my cold dead hands.

That was a pretty kick-rear end BF1942 map. Now I wish Destiny 2 had a halo-like multiplayer mode with vehicles, or just more opportunities to use tanks.

I know they'd never do it but I also wish they had some kind of multiplayer option that leaned more towards Halo's style of doing things. The abilities are fine, but put grenades as items instead of cooldowns, put power weapons on the map, and throw some vehicles in.

Destiny's PVP is enjoyable but only in that it slightly resembles Halo's multi. I know you can do it Bungie!
