Dark_Swordmaster posted:Maybe in like quality of production but as something to play I prefer the old one a million times more. It's not even about the speed it's just that they made every part of it annoying as hell. It's this. No one likes loving escort missions, and they unsurprisingly managed to make the shard escort annoying as hell. You can still melt the boss in 30 seconds, so what exactly were they hoping to accomplish by changing up the strike composition? Might as well have just removed the drat thing entirely.

It was really funny in an article recently when they said that Threshers were supposed to be countered by player tanks, but then we put them everywhere with modifiers on. No we aren't giving you tanks or replacing them with other units. We tuned the damage a little. Should be fine.

I dont mind the escort but Threshers are pretty tacked on, dont seem to give points when you kill them, and the tormentor is a dick to show up just before the boss. On a happy note, my forsaken era near god roll smuggler's word still melts faces in crucible.

SmallpoxJenkins posted:It's this. Also to a degree, alongside the difficulty changes, it does kind of help the "one guy blitzes ahead and kills everything" problem strikes had. That was fine if you just needed clears, but if you wanted to actually play the game or try to get bounties done, it always seemed a bit silly.

Ok but it's a strike, who gives a poo poo if it's over in 5 minutes? Just means you can fit more of them in whatever time slot you have set aside for gaming. I'm not here to admire the skybox or encounter design, I'm here to get my weekly obligation done and get my reward, as I probably have other stuff to do.

There are 2 weekly strike obligations, wanting the clear reward is all well and good but if I want the bounty reward I’m going to be pissed if I’ve killed 18 of 25 taken and then they all despawn because somebody couldn’t wait another 30 seconds to get an instatrash roll of Xenoclast IV

Like if you just care about getting poo poo done fast, then having a rotator that can give you a 20 minute strike or a 5 minute strike seems like it creates bad incentives, unless you add leaver penalty, in which case you're fixing the wrong problem.

The only thing that dragged with Exodus crash were the Sparrow sections, imo But new Lake of Shadows is fine, the escort sections are like one/two minutes long after clearing the adds, you can shoot down the Thresher rockets and totally neuter them, and the Tormentor boss room is great. Put more Tormentors and Hive Guardian mini bosses in strikes, Bungie

The tormenter part was the one part I enjoyed. They're easily disposed trash with 3 people around but the swerve the first time from "here comes that room I just throw a grenade and kill all the spawning thralls in" to "oh poo poo" was funny as hell

Like I said, you can shoot down the slow moving rockets they fire and hit them with a vorpal weapon gun, since they count as vehicles It's a coin toss with Blueberries, but with a fireteam you'll all be firing at the thresher too so that'll burn it quick

SmallpoxJenkins posted:None of this removes the thresher from being a threat in play, now does it my friend? The Tormentor room requires one person to deal with acolyte eyes, and some form of CC/Suppression trivializes the tormentor handily. I think the problem I have with Lake of Shadows is the final boss room having little to no cover, knight fire/boomer shots doing an egregious amount of damage, and being hit by tether + spawning enemies meleeing you is pretty much death. Wiping in the boss room is made especially painful because it respawns two unreachable champions before the playable area you're currently in, dropping your rewards to silver/gold.

Collateral Damage posted:The blight on the floor only spreads while the cruxes are up. Shoot them as soon as they spawn and you have all the space in the arena available. How are you supposed to notice when they're up? You act like they get objective markers like the standard gray diamond on them any time you look remotely in their direction. I know that's not true because every time I run with random people they don't shoot them. This is also how I know champions literally cannot be countered or even killed and need to be avoided entirely. Next you're going to tell me there's a visual indicator for the fact that you have to stand next to the escort things and you don't need to read a wiki or watch a 50 minute lore video.

So I went into the latest raid, context I started playing a few weeks before Nightfall came out. I hadn't played Destiny before this. I was actively a detriment to the team they were all friends so it wasn't like a huge problem, but I want to improve, are there good like tutorials and places to train on how to improve like add clearing and such? I'm playing Ashen Wake Solar Titan. I think the build is relatively solid but my executions the hard part. https://www.bungie.net/en/Gear/6/4611686018525148312/2305843010120224627 Heres the character.

If you're a month into playing the game you'll want to chase down a couple of the more common add clear exotics for that purpose. Beyond that, ron is just add heavy to begin with so as long as you can hold your own in encounters and not die you're likely doing a lot better than you might feel like you are. Boss DPS is probably a weak point but speaking as someone who is routinely in last place for boss DPS, as long as you're making the number go up (down?) at all you're helping. e: If you mean like aim training, there are external aim trainer programs that may or may not work for helping with tracking or flick shots or whatever but I would honestly just make sure your system level setup like sensitivity and stuff is good then just keep playing and hyperfocus on weakpoint shots.

One easy change I would make is that there's a 3-cost arms mod that makes orbs when you get grenade kills. If nothing else, vomiting out orbs constantly will make your team like you . Trace rifles are also little funky, for what it's worth. They're sort of halfway between a primary and a special ammo gun, and I think they tend to work better if you build toward using them like a primary (special ammo finder mods in the helmet, maybe special finisher in the class item to keep it topped up). That said, I'm sure you were fine. Remember that you're probably comparing yourself to folks with full on destiny brainworms and optimized setups.

I'm using Lens because I thought its a good compliment to the Ashen Wake, stand in sunspots regen energy vom fusion grenades repeat thing. Its the not dying that's the really hard part lol.

Strike Design is just at odds with itself because the rewards (Rep & Loot) come from activity completions rather than Kill Em All A fast strike is objectively better than a long strike if you're doing it for the rewards, but it's fair to say that sometimes people are just doing a Strike to pass the time, and so longer is better

Invest in resilience if you aren't already, wear encounter-appropriate damage reductions mods on your chest, consider using the head exotic Loreley Splendor once you get it. Also, if your light level is lower than the encounter calls for, you'll take more damage and do less to enemies.
