Welcome to loving destiny lmao


I can’t even imagine trying to play this game as a fresh player.

I’ve played a completely unnecessary amount of hours of Destiny and the second I stopped paying sperg levels of attention to it became a complete Jory, I have no idea what’s going on and have to ask about everything.

Eh, since I have to redo the missions, thought I’d at least get the exotic rewards. But after finishing the Titan missions I’m just booted back to space.

Random question, does Destiny have transmogs?

Y'all can correct me if I'm mistaken but I'm pretty sure Bungie's plan now that they're away from Activision is to slowly release content over the course of the season. So they'll probably add onto the story with that.

PathAsc posted:

Is exactly that.

Can't wait to see Bungie failing to deliver extra normal missions to the Skeep campaign (putting all new lore and story behind three manned hard mode exotic quests), to see Reddit LIVID about that and promising Bungie that nobody would play another Bungie game on launch again.

Seriously the Skeep campaign is becoming something like a "10 years franchise mmo" / "there you have your sequel game we never meant a 10 years mmo" situation.

Yeah, that sounds exactly like them currently. The downward spiral never ends!

Once again, I can't wait until they sell this to 343 studios and get the game we wanted lol.

The void G-horn knockoff exotic is pretty cool, it rips in Gambit invasions.

Yeah, and infusing same name gear is only 1,000 which is cheap as heck! It’s a great way of bringing your god rolls forward as you get newer higher light drops of the same stuff.

Raid has an aggressive frame pulse with very high range that can roll rapid hit+kill clip. The grenade launcher from Eris' altar can get spike grenades+rangefinder+full court. Plus trying to get good armor rolls can potentially pay off; if you can get your mobility up to tier 5 + lightweight frame (lol mountaintop + recluse) it's like using Stompees without requiring an exotic.

Is there a reason on 3 straight runs of Bergusia Forge the team damage output slowed to a crawl when the boss had 5% health left, leading to a loss? I didn't play the forges until I was well over power level for them, so I don't know if this is what it was like when they first came out, if it's new, or if the change in power-level math has made the forge a lot harder

The spider boss only takes REAL damage to the neck. If you didn't quite kill him before his neck retracts, it usually means everyone ran out of super and heavy ammo and will run out of time just trying to get him to expose his neck again.

He's a strange boss in that he's izi pizi with the right loadout and a bitch without it. Sniper Rifles mess him up, as does the Titan Commander Shield

Good to know! I've run it a dozen times before the power recalibration and never noticed, and with everyone sorting out their new loadouts it's no surprise pubbies (and me) are failing at it.

Kinda?

From what I can tell you can transmog some pieces of armor but not all. I get the option to change the appearance of armor with an Eververse set I have unlocked, but I can't change it to look like any other legendary armor which doesn't make sense to me. I assume it's limited to Eververse stuff but ideally since they now have a transmog system in the game I wish they'd just gone all the way and allowed people to literally use any non-Exotic armor be it white/green/blue/purple to look however they want. Maybe they'll eventually change whatever line of code currently limits it and break some database or something but for now it's a really half-assed implementation that sucks.

Also that D1 strike-exclusive Warlock armor with the Vex tendrils? Why don't we have stuff like that for the Vex Offensive? It would be a lot more fun than leaves glued to stuff.

I'm not sure what you mean by busted, if everything's green and purple you might be out of luck, but the typical fix is to set the white point according to the instructions, then ignore the black point instructions and leave it exactly in the center (lined up with the beginning of n in "icon").







I should mention the trick I mentioned before did help slightly, but it still results in these extreme blackout scenarios anywhere shadows exist.

Edit - In the true spirit of complaining on the internet, while posting those pictures I retried the steps and it seems to have fixed the problem. Never had that problem in any other game, wtf bungieeeee

If you haven't used a finisher on a servitor yet, go do so immediately.

Also there seems to be a bug where you spontaneously die if you do a finisher on an enemy that's already dead. That's not supposed to be possible since the enemy gets reserved for you when the animation starts but sometimes lag subverts that.
