I think tedious for the sake of being tedious is the main reason why I don't really bother with dungeons. I paid my dues raiding in my teens/20's raiding in vanilla WoW. I just want to shoot aliens in the face and not think too much about it.

I've done Ghosts exactly once and Warlord zero times. I just don't have the patience for that kinda poo poo anymore. I would run Pit of Heresy to exhaustion if they gave patterns for the moon guns, though.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:So tedious and unpleasant! I think it's just because "traversal" is sort of an aspect of Destiny design. It's basically a set piece. They're a cool bit of flavor. I doubt the conscious design is "we want farming to be painful" but more "we want this to be cool and memorable for the players who do it a few times" with less consideration for the ones who do it 3 times a week for many weeks. I still think they should make dungeon guns craftable.

Speaking of which, I need to run that with my friends so they can get Xenophage. I did it solo and glitched my way through it so idk how the dungeon actually is.

Warlords is one of their best dungeons, and I highly recommend trying it if you haven't run it yet. It feels like they took the feedback from Ghosts to heart.

I loving despise sparrows. Absolute garbage to maneuver. They're fine to use like horses to move from one zone to another but once you have to use them in activities- ESPECIALLY when there's a timer- I check out. Vehicles just shouldn't be a part of any actual gameplay in Destiny, they're just developed enough and miserable to use. (At least with the Drake tank you get to shoot stuff, but those parts still end up feeling like agonizingly slow filler when you do them more than once.)

how soloable is warlords? I usually play in the middle of the night with a sleeping toddler on my lap, so I stay mic off and usually don't go harder than nightfalls. e: mama wants that rocket pistol, really

You might be able to join a "no mic" fireteam through the fireteam finder, though it might be a bit tougher finding one willing to teach. Me and my buddy were just dragging whoever would fill our third slot while we were on discord and didn't really want to deal with chatting with a rando. Might also be some people in overchill that might be okay with you being off-mic as well. Can't really give you a good idea on how soloable it is. Have you solo'd other dungeons? I suspect it's less bad then Ghosts and maybe Spire, but still a pretty tough solo.

Speaking through a mic isn't necessary, although if you can listen to voice chat through headphones it would make learning go a bit smoother. Either way, if you ask for a group in the discord server there are lots of people who are happy to teach it.

Good or bad, it's crazy that they're trying this level of foundational sweeping change for Crucible at this age of the game. It's like when the Uno people come out of nowhere and change how draw two works after 50 years on the market

Ugh seriously. There are players who literally can't die, shooting through walls, flying around the map landing 100% crits or getting OHKs for no discernable reason Also there are cheaters, like you mentioned

They said when they made the PvP Strike Team that they were gonna be shifting PvP more towards a hardcore experience where the PvP people can play the version of PvP they want and other players don't have to engage with it. I hope they keep their word on that second part! The timing is what it is. If it were up to the people actually working on the game, they probably would've put the PvP strike team together years ago, but I assume they kept asking the executives and kept getting told no until the numbers and fan backlash got so bad they had no choice but to actually allow them to do stuff.

Kith posted:what's wrong with titans in crucru I got punched by one and that sucked so I think they should lose their melees and bubbles so I can shoot them and they can't punch me. Also legit the only problem I've been having in Crucible besides being bad is how fucken annoying finding the weekly comp matches are. They need to cut that poo poo down or something because ugh the timeouts are so frequent.

ex post facho posted:every titan charged melee is a one shot, meanwhile as a warlock *lightly scorches u* this has not been true for at least a year (possibly two years) unless they're using a very specific and very easily identifiable pair of pants that should inform you that getting into melee range with them is perhaps a bad idea ex post facho posted:also instant void overshield for you and allies with barricade said overshield does not heal you and warlock rift does. all things equal, a void overshield will lose to a warlock rift in a straight duel. the only thing a void overshield does that a healing rift does not is make roughly 20% of the available one-shots into two-shots also warlocks easily compete w hunters for best pvp class b/c they get like twenty different turrets and their buffs/benefits do not interfere with other players

ex post facho posted:lock: *stands in a rift for 5 seconds waiting patiently for overshield to charge* Nobody at Bungie regularly plays a warlock, you can tell by the amount of sections in coil where overhead geometry stops warlocks getting the height they need to make the jump.

oh and the void overshield sticks to you, which is definitely an advantage still, saying warlocks are the least favored class is extremely laughable

I like traversals in dungeons alot where you're fighting and moving, i dislike overly long traversals with no combat though. I think the transition from Gardens-3 to the boss is really fun and contains one of the most beautiful vistas in the game but I think the underwater drop forever in Ghosts is bad and makes me sad bc i ususally try to hop off the side to go all the way down to early and end up killing myself and way behind my fireteam Also, from a design perspective, I hate the like WoW/FF style ~ raid is 4 rooms 1 boss each room, no trash~ thing that seems to have happened in the last 20 years. I like having low stakes combat in between encounters and giving everyone a second to breathe and reset. I am also sad that like ~pull teams~ and pulling/breaking camps/using CC is not a thing anymore in modern MMO raids but that is a different topic

whatever class you usually play is objectively the weakest one that the designers hate. everyone knows this e: that said, as someone who usually plays Hunter, unlocking the stasis super was a pleasant surprise as it feels fairly well like a warlock super in a way that doesn't retread existing ground

Kith posted:still, saying warlocks are the least favored class is extremely laughable However I'm sticking to my guns that nobody tests the levels - especially the seasonal activities - with a warlock jump. Or at the very least, their complaints about 'that rock makes it impossible for me to get enough height to clear the gap' is not being listened to. One of the areas, titans and hunters can literally go straight forward then left across a gap, while warlocks have to go right, through a bunch of blight cannons, down and then backtrack later on. And there's one of the bonus chest areas where it's drat near impossible to get the timing to get across because of the rock overhead.

Hackan Slash posted:Humble is selling literally every expansion + this year's annual pass for $40. A good deal if you don't have. I tend not to game on my PC but this might be convenient for when the TV is otherwise in use. Anyone have a good recommendation for a controller that's PC compatible? Simply an Xbox controller or what?

You should be able to just plug in whatever controller you use on console, I wouldn't get a new one

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but the Hatchling changes are pretty great. No longer requiring precision kills but instead proccing from either 1 crit or 3 normal kills is RAD. Old Sterling and the Neomuna SMG are gonna be a lot more fun with this tweak.

I play PC with a controller and let me tell you, idk how people live without back pedals/buttons so you can explicitly map CHARGED vs UNCHARGED melee, especially if you play literally any titan or void hunter.
