Best fix they could do is add more anchors to neomuna and make them easier to reach so you can actually Tarzan around the area and have fun

Happy Noodle Boy posted:This has always been Destiny's difficulty, though? Even more so before thanks to Match Game and Equipment Lock (the latter which is still around). Changing my load out isn’t a challenge, it’s housekeeping. Surges and champion mods aren’t interesting designs or mechanics, they are arbitrary limitations. I don’t need to be nudged to use cool stuff. I don’t have enough time to play games to use all the cool stuff I have as is. And loosening those arbitrary limitations is just letting me use what I want so what’s the point of having them to begin with?

My most generous read of what Bungie is doing is trying to prevent players from having a single 'go-to' build by making surges and threats more important to successfully clearing content, and getting rid of the idea of a "void titan main" or a "solar titan main" and encourage players to try out and actively use other subclasses than they're used to. It's a nice goal in theory, but in practice it's probably going to result in more players passing over say, an arc-surged LLS day because they haven't updated their arc build for Lightfall because it's not their favored way to play.

I’m genuinely curious as to what you think difficult content should look like if those things seem as arbitrary limitations. So your scaling for difficulty would be…. More enemies with more health that do more damage? It’s hard to step outside of that without beginning to be “limiting” and at that point you just have a really loving boring game. Surges / champions / threats / overcharged weapons is going to be how they play with the sandbox and keep things varied for the next year within seasonal and ritual content. They want you to be using the in-game (instant) loadouts. They absolutely want you to play and switch things up (sometimes within the activity itself!) They’re going to keep pushing content in this direction. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Apr 6, 2023 |

I think maybe I’m just not looking for “difficult content”. I was fine with most of how the game was and I’m not interested in a going down a checklist of arbitrary surges and modifiers. That just feels tedious to me. For me the reason to play Destiny is moving around a big arena shooting cool weapons at lots of enemies. The one thing I’ve always wanted out of this game is a proper Firefight mode if that tells you anything. Ideally I think difficulty should be outlasting and overcoming a lot of enemies that I’m more powerful than rather than a few enemies that outclass me constantly taking off huge chunks of health while I peak out from behind cover or just matching my class to the flavor of the week.

FlapYoJacks posted:I don’t want the game to be challenging. MMOs aren’t popular because the games are challenging. They are popular because they give tons of loot with a 1% chance of getting good loot. Elden Ring sparked a lot of conversation about the value of putting multiple difficulties into your game in an organic way; since the devs and the series had impeccable "hardcore" credentials, and so much of Elden Ring was still blisteringly difficult, it was hard for anyone to be taken seriously when they said that traveling the overland or clearing camps was too easy. Instead, it created varied pacing and the opportunity for players to do easier and faster activities if their time or attention was limited while still preserving plenty of more engrossing content for longer, more focused play sessions. Sometimes you're playing for fifteen minutes before you leave your house, and sometimes your sitting down some evening with the plan to really do some gaming. Destiny 2 should emulate this - some content should be harder or more demanding, some should be easier and more accessible. It'd be even better if they made is so no rewards were stuck exclusively behind the hard content, because as some people have been saying not everyone wants to play that kind of game. Personally, I'm looking for Destiny to give me game play comparable to harder difficulties of Left 4 Dead, Dark Tide, etc. I'm here to learn how to play Strikes and stuff and then complete them in well coordinated groups. But! I also want to be able to progress my character with relatively simple content because I'm not always going to be "on"; sometimes I'm going to want to just mindlessly click on some heads in the overland and see number go up.

Only ran it once last night but is updated lake of shadows like 3 times longer than it used to be? I really didn't care for it beyond the cool new boss model. Probably isn't even new.

Probably isn't even new. That was the idea, yes. It was the shortest strike in the game by a good margin even before you factored in a lot of players' propensity to sparrow past a good chunk of it or exploit a scripting bug to skip encounters for faster GM farming I don't think the boss model is new, you probably just never got a good look at it before because veteran players could vaporize it in seconds

I enjoy the current difficulty but would like the primary buff please Bungie. I think Hero difficulty is my sweet spot "casual" difficulty, and I play Vanguard Ops when I want to feel powerful. With the stuff available in the game I don't think we ever need to bring back over levelling in my opinion. What we do need is to fix rewards because this is a looter shooter afraid of loot which is pretty dang funny. Whether you're a casual player who runs world weapons and plays Vanguard Ops playlists or the GM and Master Raid peeps the rewards should feel good and reliable for the effort. Even a random strike should never give you glimmer and 2 shards. That's just silly.

The new LoS is pretty ok apart from the opening dragging a bit. The miniboss was fun, the bus is your friend. I think you still all in the boss with swords and a well or bubble but idk I've only done it once. There's no hard gate on him. You can stand on some of the rocks sticking out of the black stuff and not take damage, especially along the wall to survive away from the center area. There's also some like darkness cruxs that maybe do something to the black stuff on the floor but I also didn't really pay attention and it was late. Haven't done it on Master yet. Anyone who has do they still have the unstoppables at the end of the tunnel that they then pop you out to the minor platforming section? tormenter was fun but it's not a boss on legend so suspend and lol

I swear I got one or two red frame IKELOS weapons from Terminal Overload chests at the start of the expansion, since it let me finish one that was left incomplete from Season of the Seraph. I haven't seen any others drop in the last few weeks, but I don't know if they changed the loot tables or if it might just be due to really low odds when there's only one pattern left to finish (I just need the SR now).

Ikelos patterns are still achievable because the weapons are part of world drops. It’s the Season of the Seraph weapons like Disparity, Path of Least Resistance, etc you can’t get anymore.

One last point about difficulty and mechanics and I’ll shut up. Bungie clearly wants you to be challenged and do lots of things and have lots of options but they are once again running into the core problem of having built their fantasy MMO in an arena shooter engine that doesn’t offer much in the way of options. Move and shoot. Rip and tear. Their engine does that extremely well but doesn’t seem to offer many other options so they just fall back to tweaking damage numbers and limiting the choices you do have and calling it challenging. And it is challenging but personally I find more frustrating than engaging.

I play mainly on PS5, but I have a gaming PC now so I may download it there and link my account so I can do all the stuff that doesn’t require me to buy expansions. Im still in the old goon console clan, but it looks like I’m the only one left. Also, where do I go to start farming high stat gear? On my Titan I used about 50 upgrade modules to get from 1600-1800, but on my warlock im sitting around 1800~ but all my gear has trash stats. I mostly play Void and I’m assuming I want 100 Recovery/Discipline, and then whatever Resilience I can manage?

Yorkshire Pudding posted:I mostly play Void and I’m assuming I want 100 Recovery/Discipline, and then whatever Resilience I can manage? Something like that is probably what you want (although IMO you'd want 100 Res more than 100 Dis for endgame PvE for survivability), but it'll probably take quite a while to get there. You can get some boosts from your subclass fragments, although the good strand fragments have a bunch of negatives and the void fragment that gives your grenades weaken costs 20 Dis. Int isn't worth much these days outside of trials builds that really, really want to get their super before the match ends (and still might not have that happen a bunch of the time), Mob is largely only for hunters, and Str is often a low priority or non-issue due to some subclasses not using their charged melee or having ways to get it back fast/instantly.
