Windows 11 gets a security fix – but it has broken some PC games

TLDR: Bungie has been too lazy to update BattlEye, and now it's broken with the latest version of Windows 10 and 11. :allears:

I have no idea.

That version of Windows 10 is over 3 years old (May 2019) before the new anticheat even came to D2.

Personally, the security issue is not present on my Windows 10 desktop, but is on my Windows 11 laptop. And the laptop issue cropped up sometime in the past few months or so (can't say for sure; didn't see any error late last year, did see it last week).

Just did Avalon for the first time. Was fun enough, I assume the legend version is the one that had everybody pulling their hair out.

1) What's the level difference for legendary?
2) Why does it recommend bringing Vexcalibur?

Is the split if you use both of the other two abilities before? IE if I used barricade, then empowered melee, my grenade would start charging 800% faster and would do 35% more damage?

I think legendary is 1530 and you're capped at 1500 or 1510 or I dunno. You're capped under power, it's similar to the legendary campaign missions.

I think the vexaclibur recommendation could be the secret chests that you need to get it? Otherwise, just having a source of void damage is crazy useful. Don't really feel like vexcalibur is critically important in legend, but it can be useful since it lends itself towards survivability.

Yeah, the split is Empowered x1 vs. Empowered x2. I don't know how this works with the Berserker's melee, which has three charges.

Then yeah toss em why not. When you're at the point where you're doing GMs and all that it isn't like you'll ever go "oh man, I got a new exotic armour but I have NO ascendant shards at all this is so bad!" because you've still got a full drat stack.

That's what confuses me with people using the postmaster to store poo poo and then complaining that they lose stuff. Look, if you had three whole stacks of ascendant shards then clearly they a) weren't ever getting used and b) getting more clearly isn't a problem.

When people asked for all resources to be uncapped I just wonder "why?" It won't actually help anyone, because if you're hitting the resource cap and started to store poo poo in the overflow bin then the problem isn't resource caps, it's resource consumption.

If they raise caps to 9999 then the only thing that changes is you have forever unused resources in your inventory, and they won't fall out the post bin, even tho it's effectively the same result.

It's not a solution, no, but being able to have mats on hand from when you were able to have time and energy to play vs having not enough or none when new poo poo drops is a QoL thing and we all know how trash bungie is about that in general with d2. The hamster wheel poo poo is dumb and bad.

The problem is more that it doesn't really matter if you have 10 ascendant shards and 50 prisms, or 50 shards and 400 prisms. A resource that simply accumulates to the point that it goes into an overflow container because you quickly hit a point of it no longer being a rare commodity is a problem.

When starting the game getting those shards for your first MW exotic feels big. But quickly you have a situation where you have Masterworked what you use, and are probably just getting monument kiosk exotics for them. Because despite being the currency end game content like GMs give out they are not particularly valuable. And you can tell when people have four stacks of them and growing.

I think the exotic focusing is a good move, but really there needs to be an overhaul of how we spend a lot of this currency, because increasing caps is still gonna hit the same issue.

There's a lot of great ideas floating around for using resources. Prisms and shards to reroll armour stats is one I can see being infinitely useful as a currency sink. But ultimately, have more of the same currency that isn't being used is not a good solution because you're treating the symptom.

Edit: I would also have no problem increasing the cap if these things were addressed obv.

it isn't the entire solution but it'd certainly help

the actual solution is "give us things to spend ascendant shards on that actually matter"

Just purchase for glimmer then destroy for shards. Then repeat

That sounds pretty cool but I've already got like 14000 legendary shards and nothing I want to buy or grind for. Never really used more than I earned naturally.

Nice find though, really.

This has been topped by the Retribution mission ending with you at The Farm and then you need to go into orbit and then back to The Farm to get a call from Devrim.
