I also think they should just remove pvp from this game because it's not very fun and seems impossible to balance around while keeping pve players happy. There's a billion better pvp games but zero better pve live service fps games so stick with what you're good at, you know I have a handful of friends who like pvp but even they only play trials at this point

Forsaken was wild because you finished the quests and then out of nowhere got a bonus patrol zone with a poo poo ton of secrets and stuff to do

Some what light level are you supposed to be for neomuna post-game stuff? Because lost sectors are apparently 1780 and deeply unfun coming out of the campaign at 1750

Yeah do the LC to get 1770 and then say goodbye to Neomuna for a while as you go back to the Tower and do playlist & seasonal activities until maybe 1785ish Then head back to Neptune to wrap up them chores & quests (Light level is bad) There is no need to fear the LC. It's certainly the way the game was meant to be experienced. I advise anyone at Guardian Rank 6 or higher to opt for Legendary instead of Story Mode

Tormenters are very easy and do a good job forcing you out of cover and making you clear adds. If you can clear the adds when fighting them theyre trivial, if a little spongy. Just move around nonstop and shoot them while doing it, clearing adds when they pop up, literally all it takes, they have nothing in their arsenal that stops this. I think its actually a good design to mix up the rules of engagement in a game where most mobs are just "shot while breaking line of sight sometimes" Unormal fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Mar 3, 2023 |

I was fine with soloing LC up until the last fight, and it only really sucked because every time I died it was getting suppressed and gently booped off a ledge into eternity. Ended up getting it done with Witherhoard and an LFR like people suggested. Lol I killed FINAL FORM Calus with my last LFR shot just as he killed me which was pretty rad. e] Is that Bracus Zahn strike with Caiatl's Cabal new with Lightfall or have they been adding/changing stuff like that for a while? Was pretty cool to jump into Strikes and finally have a bit of update/variation.

I think the problem with Nimbus lies with the sound director. Their performer was also in Hades and did an excellent job there, so it's definitely not a casting problem. For some reason it was thought that the forced enthusiasm of a kids show host and a pitch that sounds like a 10 year old with a voicechanger box was the way to go for a 600lb goliath, and that lies with the director who either asked for it or didn't reject it. If at any point including cutscenes Calus just once did the clapping motion from Leviathan (CLONK-CLONK) I would have forgiven everything they did wrong by him. EDIT: On a side note, this thread joins a lot of other communities online lately where I've seen people use Marvel as a pejorative, usually for 'quips', and not only for Destiny but other games and TV shows as well. I'm seeing so much "ugh just like Marvel" commentary online in the past couple months that I'd be terrified if I owned Disney stock.

As someone who only pays attention to lore from the cutscenes, and I'm talking main story campaign cutscenes not seasonal story stuff, I'm getting hard shadowkeep vibes. Now I have to wait another year for something interesting to happen. Neptune playable area and characters should have been introduced a year ago. I'm excited to try out stand once it's fully unlocked. Calus should have been the VOW baddie. I'm over him. I don't give a gently caress about the cabal. Rhulk should have been the protagonist. Tormentors are cool. KINDA REMINDS ME RHULK NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. I thought the veil was supposed to be a race of people. More "deciple" enemy variants would have been good. Instead the veil is an internet service provider?

I had marvel fatigue before marvel fatigue was mainstream and now everyone's doing it. Ugh so uncool. More seriously yeah. Bad writing and poor project management is the mainstream norm now. Too many seat warmers failing upwards. The result of hiring or putting people in positions for reasons other than being the actual best person for the job. It's a self correcting problem in the long run. Edit - I think bungies actual talent are now working on upcoming products and D2 is just spinning wheels to time out the next 2 years.

I've received 3 commendations and have a 13 score so if you imagine each one is worth 4-5 points (gently caress if I know the actual conversion) its not too terribly bad and the tooltip says "a portion" will carry over to season 21 so it's fairly attainable I'd guess if people keep mindlessly slapping the button at the end of things e: come to think of it I've sent 4 and gotten 3 (all thoughtful) so maybe if the ally ones are 3 and sending one is 1 that's how I got to 13 abraham linksys posted:i honestly thought it was the best one of those they've done but have no idea how it plays on legendary lol. i loved that mission as something that felt like it fell out of halo 1 tho It played pretty much like the rest of legendary: I found the best place to hide my tank so I could pop enemies while taking as little return fire as possible until things were dead enough that I could go clean up the remnants fast cars loose anus fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Mar 3, 2023 |

campaign was fun! not as good as Witch Queen but all I want from new Destiny stuff is new sights and new lore, and for an expansion I want cool new powers, fun characters, and a big status quo-shifting ending—I’m satisfied! Reddit is making GBS threads its pants and crying and it seems like this thread might be too but it’s good stuff and Strand whips rear end

I did a little bit recently where I was using Starfire Protocol and Witherhoard on Control and I got someone so mad at me because I kept sticking him with the fusion grenades (years of plasma grenade practice still coming in handy!) and then shooting him with a little pea-shooter sidearm that he started tea-bagging me whenever he occasionally got his revenge on me.

Every time I think they can't make a shittier more unfun fight the next mission in the campaign tops it. Holy gently caress the end of mission 7 is inexcusable. Also spawning me at the beginning of the run and not the boss room is just being an rear end in a top hat for the sake of it

RBX posted:Is there lore on why they're so tall and why his voice sounds horrible? Not sure there's an official lore explanation yet. To look at the implications there, they're basically hover boarding post apocalyptic space marine super cops ginned up with all the tech Neomuna had available. And the mural you can easily find in the city shows that Rohan and Nimbus are easily two of the less augmented looking people. One of them looks like a woman who just straight up had her upper skull replaced by a metal dome that goes down to cover her eyes entirely so that she can't see. Dude's probably not even got all of his original vocal chords any more, and that's some lovely augmentation they stuck into them because if you're going to go full Robotnik on someone then why the gently caress not? I'm guessing the size is for stuffing even more poo poo into them kind of like how WH40K space marines are loving huge because they need all that extra size to include the spare heart, backup vital organs, subdermal kevlar armor skin layer, etc, etc. Game wise it's to show they're cool and unique and that the devs expect you to be fascinated by this new thing. Basically, MMO logic. Also, a news broadcast discusses expanding or dismantling (!?) the military during the invasion or something like that. Which aside from highlighting how nonchalant the Neomunians are taking the invasion* by omnicidal darwinian psychopaths hellbent on destroying the city after they get what they want might also suggest what the two super cyborgs have insofar as a role. Weirdly enough, the mural in the city shows a fairly limited number of cyborgs, so either the city is quick to forget the human sacrifice that occurs every ten years exists despite being in a virtual world that could theoretically record data forever or there's something else going on. Or it's just a lovely plot hole. * One broadcast belatedly mentions that this year's "Pixel-fest" is going to have to be held online in the virtual world only, so please don't miss out. Also, a lot of the NPC's seem more annoyed or intrigued by the opportunities presented at their city getting slowly literally drilled to bits by Cabal landers.

I've been avoiding online discussions of Lightfall until I finished the campaign, and I'm surprised to see all the extremely online gamers getting mad about it. I guess Witch Queen is a hard act to follow. There's certainly rough spots; it's closer in quality to the pre WQ expansions, but I don't really get the hatred.

All of Beyond Light's seasons were setup to the witch queen payoff. This clearly isn't the case with Witch Queen's seasons. It's significantly under that bar and we've regressed to shadowkeep level storytelling. It's a real shame. And there are other problems like strand taking up so much of the campaign, being significantly less powerful than story version, etc. I don't think the expansion is horrible but they definitely need to up their loving game.
