I am intentionally waiting until the current dungeon is not Ghosts to get that done.

I've mentioned it before, but Prophecy's final boss is the perfect anti-well design. They could also stop clinging quite so hard to the "30 second dps window after x minutes of mechanics" formula. If they nerf well properly, it would be nice to run Dungeons and Raids as something other than the solar subclass on my warlock without sabotaging the fireteam's dps. But my worry is that survivability and damage would instead just be worse everywhere that it mattered.

Well I had my fill of re-installing Destiny 2 . Grabbed my exotic pulse rifle and messed around for an afternoon. It's so weird that my 3 year old Season of Saint 14 or whatever auto-rifle got boosted to 1600 somehow by sitting in my vault, despite its max being "1000" . And it still kicks more rear end than whatever garbage is dropping nowadays.

If you mean Steelfeather Repeater, it does kick rear end but it can't be raised above 1600 thanks to sunsetting so you can't use it in anything where power level matters (raids, dungeons, most lightfall content, anything tagged as legend or master, and the vanguard playlist for some reason), but feel free to take it into casual crucible and give some people nostalgia flashbacks

Decided to grab all the "legacy" content for 20 euros, I'm sure my 20 euro contribution will be enough to inject life back into this deadass game. For my perspective I'm paying purely for the campaigns and strikes (that I plan to play solo). What I've noticed is how much better this feels to play if you just enjoy it as a Halo style FPS and ignore all the loot poo poo entirely. The loot in Destiny is godawful, and its system for creating gear is YEARS behind its contemporaries like Warframe and Borderlands. I might be motivated to write an effort rant post about how bad it is, but as JUST a shooter it's pretty great. 20 euros for ~ 15 or so hours of missions and campaign story is a pretty decent deal for me.

Lib and let die posted:I don't mean to be snide, but I don't think a looter shooter is the type of game you sound like you want, OP No, I like loot shooters, I have ~ 2000 hours in warframe, ~1000 across all Borderlans games. Destiny is just not particular good at generating interesting loot compared to those two. Excepting the exotics , which you're limited to one of, all the purple guns in the game are samey reskins with underwhelming perks. The Perks have no stat variance , so you can't luck out and get a stronger version of a perk, there's no variance in stats between copies of the same weapon, there's 0 connection between a weapon's looks and its function, upgrading or "masterworking" provides a joke of a bonus, there's little reason to try out new weapons when you can just infuse power level into your favorites, and so on. Destiny isn't particularly good at the "loot" part of the loot shooter. It's working off an old crusty framework that hasn't seen much change since 2014, and its competitors just do a much better job at it nowadays, which I'm guessing is one of the reasons weapons feel so disposable . EDIT: Also, unlike other , better loot shooters, Destiny is bound ball and chain to its dying PVP mode which it has to balance for, so no piece of gear will ever be too desirable to be worth chasing. Last time I remember playing people were considering a single shot grenade launcher whose one unique perk was that its grenade flew in a straight line like a RPG "broken" in PVP and it got gutted . Tomorrow , Destiny could just remove all purple guns from the game, let you craft one of the various profiles or "frames" and attach whatever visual model you want to it as a skin or "transmog" and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them because the guns are so bad and forgettable .

It's subjective. I like Borderlands and all that fine but honestly finding weapons that have a 2.1% difference is loving *tedious* to me. I much prefer Destiny's weapon system. While there's my own personal wishes for perks, etc (don't we all?) I don't think I could ever say I'd prefer a more Borderlands style weapon system. Also Bungie reducing loot to, essentially, "exotic" and "regular" is so much loving nicer for me than the goddamn colour graded system from other loot games.

Yeah I much prefer Destiny's system where it's relatively easy to get the "best" roll of something. Also lol at Destiny not having enough loot when the #1 complaint has always been "600 slots for storing unused equipment isn't enough"

Mt biggest complaint of destiny when I first played was that all of the elemental choices mostly felt like picking the color of your bullets to match shields. I’m the reworks of abilities post-stasis to have more distinct buffs/debuffs and visual cues for them was what really hooked me in. I think it’s been good for weapons too - perks like incandescent and or unraveling shots make things feel much more unique and fun.

I'm not sure if it's as viable now as it was during Defiance, but there was an interplay between void debuffs, severance encosure, devour, and void overshield that basically made you an unkillable void force of nature as soon as you popped your first finisher on an enemy since those count as powered melees for SE. Throwing Regnant in your heavy spot just drove it into overkill mode.

I will just use a weapon that can make orbs and kill things at a safer distance. Bungo makes really weird decisions sometimes...

Sample_text posted:No, I like loot shooters, I have ~ 2000 hours in warframe, ~1000 across all Borderlans games. A lot of this is just straight up untrue. 1) There is a connection between a weapon's look and it's function and has been for a long time, weapons within the same foundry share the same aesthetic and the same basic function. Hakke weapons fire slow and deal heavy damage, Omolon guns are slick all-rounders, Veist guns are fast firing with strong handling, Tex Machina guns are extremely yeehaw. Origin Traits further enhanced this, so if a set of guns are all from the same source, like a season or a raid, they'll all have the same origin trait, giving you a strong baseline idea of what the gun is capable of. All weapons from Crota's End have the Cursed Thrall perk, so they're decent picks for a melee loadout. All weapons from Root of Nightmares have Harmonic Resonance, so they're stronger when used together, especially against Tormentors and Lucent Hive, etc. 2) Bungie is always adding new perks to the new weapons, encouraging you to at least try new weapons. Season of the Deep added the refurbished Last Wish guns, and added a new perk to Techeun Force, Controlled Burst. Then Season of the Witch had The Eremite, a harder hitting, slower firing fusion rifle with Controlled Burst on it, making it a very strong damage dealing option. There's very clearly a lot of effort being put into creating new weapon perks that are strong, but not overpowered and finding niches and perk combinations that don't exist within the sandbox season over season and filling those niches. Also, the artifact always has multiple perks to increase the power of the last few origin traits added to the game, always softly encouraging you to at least try the stuff that's been added in the last few seasons. 3) PvP and PvE are balanced differently. There are issues with the weapons in Destiny, mostly centered around crafting and the overwhelming amount of weapons in the game since sunsetting wound up not being a thing, but it's extremely weird that you picked on stuff that actually is being addressed.

If Glaives are really supposed to be a riot shield and pistol type of thing, it feels like they would've been better off not having the melee aspect at all and just being a pistol that uses special ammo and can spawn a shield. It feel like the game really does need a special weapon that fires hitscan projectiles at mid range with no charge time, kinda like a legendary version of Forerunner, and Glaives being a bladed weapon just confuses what you're supposed to do with them. Really unfortunate.

I feel like Bungie is unsure what role they want Glaives to have. The melee functionality and its interaction with perks and buffs is particularly wild, especially looking at how it's changed since release I don't use them because melee builds are better without them and close/mid-range builds are also better without them

The buffs to the Glaive damage of Synthoceps and Triton Vice make me at least a little intrigued about Glaives as damage dealers next season. Between those exotic armors and Close to Melee, you might get into some pretty wacky territory once you include your standard buffs and debuffs. Although I don't think you can use a weapon surge to buff a Glaive melee, so that kinda hurts it.

Glaves should have been special ammo swords. A melee weapon that can’t proc melee effects or elemental effects was always going to be DOA.
