Yeah swapping weapons is fine. Sometimes you hit a wall in terms of what you're facing and need to switch it up.

Letting people swap guns around probably isn't a big deal either - allows for some counterplay. They don't want to shut that down. They specifically want to shut down the scenario they outline of people getting the advantage of both kinds of exotics. e: Beaten a bunch

I have to choose 12 of the 25 artifact powers to unlock But I can reset my artifact any number of times to select a different set Every 'build' will certainly use a different list of artifact powers ... Is there a snowball's chance in hell that the Loadout system can reset & reselect my artifact powers...

Firebert posted:it’s always one step forward two steps back It's free, but the real cost is that every single time I change my build I will need to perform an artifact reset, and then consult whatever note I have left myself for that build (since artifact powers won't be saved as part of a Loadout), and then select them

with all of these ways to get OVERCHARGED and SERGEN why the gently caress do they even have the system in place? if a bonus has over 75% uptime then it should just be passive

haveblue posted:Yeah, why not use the existing modifier instead of a brand new one? Is there some legendary swapping meta I'm not aware of? There are some strats around using super generating exotics to get your super fast, then swapping to one that buffs your super on the round you want to use it. Alternatively, you can run "guns shoot better" exotics while your super is charging and "super supers better" when you're up. This used to not be a great thing to do because the UI loads kind of slowly and swapping multiple items around isn't the easiest thing to do. With one-click loadout swapping and it able to pull from your vault, I can very much see item swapping stats to leverage super better on super rounds to take off and be annoying as poo poo to have to learn how to quickly inventory tetris in order to play the competitive shooting game better.

I'm sure looking forward to an Unstoppable Ogre blasting me in the face and my Hunter friend Dodges so my now Radiant Scout Rifle is Anti-Barrier instead of Anti-Unstoppable. That seems well thought out.

I like that the TWAB specifically calls out being able to do Vox Obscura with the free weekend, when it's not part of the standard edition of WQ. Classic stuff

My question was, why spend time and effort on a brand new limited anti-some-swaps modifier when there's already an anti-all-swaps modifier, and that was also answered above (weapon swaps are part of trials and no one has a problem with this including Bungie) Evilgm posted:I'm sure looking forward to an Unstoppable Ogre blasting me in the face and my Hunter friend Dodges so my now Radiant Scout Rifle is Anti-Barrier instead of Anti-Unstoppable.

There's something kinda weird about needing to run Overload Bow mod so that my Wishender, Monarque, and Leviathan's Breath will do 25% more damage The Loreley Titan nerf is that any time I use my Bonk Hammer I will lose the ability to stun Overload & Unstoppable Champions for 7 seconds

Definitely it's a targeted fix and not a general one. weapon locking would make things worse and this makes things better.

Swapping your guns right at the beginning of the match is pretty common when you are evaluating the other teams loadout. Locking your loadouts beforehand would be an awful idea.

That's a lot of Earth Orbit Throwdown going on. I wonder if our journey to Neptune is just to get the Traveler's Gun Crystal or something

With the announcement of anti-barrier sidearms, I'm here to once remind everyone of the outstanding synergy of Arbalest and Forerunner. Arby not only pops barriers, but also grants bonus damage to kinetics hitting the target afterwards via Disruption Break. Forefunner, an kinetic sidearm, itself has a bonus that does extra precision damage to unshielded enemies. When paired, that little sidearm packs some serious heat in Nightfalls. I have fond memories this combo last time, seeing barrier pop from Arby, walking forward with my Forerunner getting a handful of precision shots in, then casually using a finisher on the champ. Good (read: great) times. Also glaives are awesome, and I can't wait to see them in NF's again. Very very strong when used properly (for example, a good glaive user makes the boss room of Proving Grounds /significantly/ easier).

Judging by the various footage we've gotten so far, I'm assuming Lightfall kicks off with the Earth Orbit battle, and we end up hitching a ride on a Cabal ship which brings us to Neptune/Neomuna. Maybe there's a stalemate moment in the battle, or whatever the witness is doing to the traveler is what kicks off the race to get the veil on Neptune. Season of the Risen was somewhat set up as a 'meanwhile..." to WQ's campaign, so I assume Darkness Cities? seen in the promo art for Defiance showing up on Earth is a side effect of whatever happens in the opening battle before we go off to Neptune.

all the artifact mods are passive now, but you can still only choose a limited amount! but resets are free! Come The Heck On Guys

Come The Heck On Guys It seems like an unfortunate design trait that they just backed themselves into, with Destiny being a pile of tweaks upon tweaks upon tweaks.... The passive artifact mods thing is really good but I can see how this was the mechanical result Perhaps just choose the 12 Best Ones and don't even worry about the other 13

Yeah I get it but it's so obvious that like 1/3 of them should just be gradual unlocks or optional unlocks and only the other 2/3rds might be OP if you get them all. They should just make all the anti-champion poo poo inherent to the season or part of the seasonal track

muike posted:all the artifact mods are passive now, but you can still only choose a limited amount! but resets are free! Come The Heck On Guys Like, you can unlock them all right now but you sure as hell can't slot them all - and the mod energy system makes it so you can't really fit certain ones together regardless. That said, the big questions are "is the artifact setup tied to your loadout" (lol if no) and "can you swap active perks without resetting the whole artifact" (lmao if no) Because right now the first column is going to be a goofy thing - having all of the basic anti-champion perks active at the same time doesn't really confer meaningful power - you just pick the ones relevant to your loadout, and whatever else you need to reach later tiers. Unless they changed how unlocking the tiers works, you'll always have 2 or 3 anyways. But if you need to reset the artifact because you decided you wanted to use and SMG but didn't have the overload AR/SMG perk unlocked, hoo boy. They probably should just design the artifact in a way that you need to unlock all of column 1, or those perks are passive seasonal modifiers, balancing your points out for the other columns, otherwise it's always going to be this min-max problem.

At bungie you have the “let’s flatten everything out and make the game simple” folks on one side, the “number go up more materials and mods and greebles” folks on the other side, and every day they vote to chop the baby in half

Yeah I keep mentally replacing "12 artifact perks" with "6 artifact perks" because everyone is going to have all 6 anti-champion options open at all times

Oxyclean posted:They don't want you have all of them because that would be a huge jump in power unless they made all the artifact perks much weaker. Yeah the champion part is the part that makes me roll my eyes. They shouldn't be a part of the same system, imo e: someone on reddit pointed out the shot of the traveler surrounded by pyramid ships looked a lot like sagira and while i'm not gonna invest much into that, it seems way too similar to think bungie didn't do it on purpose muike fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Feb 23, 2023 |

The Witness just being a guy when the traveler is a gigantic unfathomable orb is kind of unsatisfying to me. It can't really end up as Anime Eyes Guy vs. Giant Orb, can it?
