Isn't he in charge of expanded media properties now? I swear there was a whole thing about him getting moved off to one side and Joe Blackburn almost instantly dropping a twab that undid a bunch of things that had pissed off the playerbase forever.

The higher he gets in the hierarchy, the less he is personally dictating to the creative departments what to do. He probably still has input on game content but he isn’t in every design meeting and signing off on every season proposal like he would have done in the past

We don’t even have any Destiny products that aren’t the core game yet other than minor fan bait like tie-in comics so we really have no idea what he does all day now

Also man, I really want to replay Destiny 1

Or like, some big curated thing to go through the major beats from D1 to what'll be the end of the plot or whatever the next expansion is going to do

I tried playing D1 but it's really hard without mantling and class abilities. I don't mean in terms of skill, I mean in terms of really, really missing having those abilities.

Another thing about Dungeons is that they were all designed to be easily and flawlessly cleared by one single player. Being the second or third player on a fire team will just make it easier! Nothing to worry about at all as far as being a deadweight dungeon gamer

Then based on how pressured I felt while soloing the Xenophage quest, I must be the living embodiment of "skill issue".

Doing Spire of the Watcher in a group was fun though.

this is like the sixth or seventh time since season of plunder launched that i've had the game just poo poo itself at random and require reinstallation. there doesn't appear to be any consistent reason for it, either - sometimes it's in the middle of a fight, sometimes it's running around an empty room. utterly baffling.

I had an issue a while back where my PC ran fine, but destiny specifically would crash it at random times. Reinstalling seemed to help, but I eventually ran memtest and discovered one of my sticks was starting to fail

I flip back and forth between playing D2 and playing Satisfactory and man do I miss mantling in the latter.

3GC has some weird definition of "easily", but their point does stand that all dungeons are designed to be possible to solo. So while bosses may take half a dozen damage phases to kill, you'll never run into mechanics that require more than one person.

I wish they would scale boss health or damage phase durations to fireteam size though, just to make solo dungeons a bit less of a slog. Ghalran is a clear example of this, where the mechanics phase can be done in one trip into the nightmare realm if you're in a team, but you need two trips if you do it solo meaning you need to spend several more minutes doing mechanics between each damage phase in addition to requiring more damage phases. There's a trick to extending the damage phase by ~10 seconds, but it still takes way too long and there's a bunch of bullshit physics that can randomly kill you no matter how well you play.

Had this happen alot the past year too. Usually I just restarted the game and its fine. The last time I had to do that verification thing, didn't take an hour though. The game has a memory leak or something the longer you play.

Will someone with Atmos help me out? I have a 7.2.4 system and suddenly, all gun sounds for destiny are coming out of the left surround instead of the fronts. Is everyone experiencing this?

Can someone please let me know if they're experiencing this too on a surround sound system? It's happening on both Xbox & PS5 for me. I've been having some issues with my AVR, so I'm worried that might actually be the issue.

Like our legacy raid and dungeon rotators, the Exotic mission rotator will feature Exotic missions from the past that rotate on a weekly cadence and offer great rewards for players willing to dive into some classic content.

Aside from the Exotic Mission rotator, none of that really sounds that good to me? Making less weapons craftable and more reliant on RNG sounds really loving bad to me, a player who hasn't gotten a Subsistence/Frenzy Funnelweb even once since Witch Queen dropped.
