Bungo just sacrificed the people who were actually wishing to run the endgame content to get power to the altar of the "LFG gods", while introducing instead a sherpa bonus with bright engrams. :ironicat:

* Guided Games will now feature a Leviathan Guide emblem that tracks the number of raid encounters and raids a player has completed as a Guide.
* This emblem rewards a unique aura for 14 days after a player completes a raid as a Guide.
* Once a week while the aura is active, guiding a raid to completion grants one Bright Engram.

[...]

* Weekly lockouts for raid and raid lair rewards are now class-based.
* Players running multiple characters of the same class will receive rewards only the first time they run the raid or raid lair in a given week.


Also rip guy who ran as a warlock 3 times from 0 to 20 in vanilla D1 just to run VoG multiple times and drop those goddamn boots.

The simple fact of the matter is there just aren't that many six man teams... so sticking them into orbit to rot for 10 minutes is a good way to drive people who take the time to play a team base game as a team onto some other game.

SBMM is fine as long as it doesn't contribute to lag, cause match making delays and there is some reward for skill.

The first two are always a trade off and thumbs up for bungie actually doing something about the third.

People do dumb and bad things, WoW had a thing where tokens would be used next patch to do a thing and people were supergrinding and stockpiling.

They had to make it so the tokens would drop 10x more post patch and the thing costed 10x more to avoid this

That situation also happened in Destiny, and is not analogous to what was being discussed.

You’d limit things in the token situation to stop people getting everything/the good poo poo immediately as the new content drops so your “engagement” doesn’t drop as quickly so you keep subscribed or “engaged” with the game.

What’s the harm with a small amount of people running the content 3x to get stuff for 1 character in a subscription-less game? It’ll still take a while, there’s already a weekly limit on drops (per character) so all you’re doing is reducing the loot pool a bit.

It’s lame.

the single class weekly lockout on raids is because they found a bug that let people with 3 classes hit max light in warmind in 3 days

Hope This Helps

I will give you two reasons,

Is a good thing. I knew a guy that only played titan since release, and nothing else and he completelly mastered every titan thing. But me, by changing class every few hours, would not have that level of skill with the titan, despite loving the class.

Also sometimes you want to be the best at a videogame, and beat other people playing videogames. is that a weird idea? by having 3 of the same class, use to be possible to boost loot to have more loot than everyone else sooner, beating the other guys.

Replace everyone everywhere with Tei tbh, but why do people seem to hate Datto so much? He appears to me to be an innocuous enough video game nerd. He even shares the related interest of being highkey disappointed with Destiny, yet totally unable to walk away from it like that rest of us braingeniou-

Oh, oh wait, I see. It's the revulsion of self recognition

the thing with datto for me is that he’s just insanely boring. like, slayerage does wild poo poo in PvE and folks like kraftyy or whoever we’re PvP gods but datto has just always been super average and run of the mill, which makes his popularity really mystifying to me

Probably the ones that are "archetype but with weird stuff that procs sometimes" don't rate a custom icon but the ones whose appearance and behavior are too far from the norm for their class get special treatment.

His opinions are generally good and he articulates himself well. Plus he's been around since the very start about a couple of years before the game came out.

Found out it's called the Polaris Lance. It's Ana Bray's scout rifle and the perk is that if you get 3 precision shots, the 5th is a delayed explosive solar round.
