That guy is the worst boss because it sure is fun frittering around waiting for His Majesty to decide to show up for the fight for just a couple of seconds while obnoxious adds make you slower and less jumpy

It's gotten to the point that we are so good at everything else we get there with like 8 minutes and he still farts around the room and we miss with like 1/8th health left. Please help me I am dying. There's no reward for having done every single nightfall, this one is bad and not fun so go do something that's neither of those

On a long enough timeline, the likelihood that a thread in games will include someone posting the phrase "final destination no items" to make fun of something approaches 100%.

haveblue posted:The good old days where it was not possible to overlevel and the only way to reach power parity with the raid was to beat it while handicapped I mean I don't have any particular wish to go back there, I am happy having two characters at 300 or just below and a third character 280+, and I've only completed the raid twice. I'm just pointing out that being 270 or so is in no way going to make the raid harder unless you are a moron who can't work together as a team. The only situation where DPS is an issue is the single boss fight in the raid. Even bathers won't be an issue for most because you will almost always have help and that encounter shits power ammo at you. This raid of all the raids I've played from VoG on is the most dependent on communication and coordination and least dependent on making sure everyone can be a certain number going in, and that's cool and good.

There's no magic trick unfortunately, it's just a lovely fight. It's essentially the same fight as the normal strike just more difficult. 8 minutes should be enough time. Aggressively go after the shield drops to replenish your shield. Wiping sucks and wastes tons of time. My groups have had success staggering our supers so that we didn't waste super time when the boss vanishes. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Sep 22, 2017 |

Sometimes in this NF you have to play aggressive at low health so you can get that drop to restore your shields since you can't just hide and have them regenerate. I recognize that the "wiping sucks and wastes tons of time" is a stupid thing to say though. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Sep 22, 2017 |

It took my group two attempts yesterday and on the successful attempt we managed to keep at least one person alive to rez the other two. Wiping vs not wiping in an encounter like that is a pretty huge difference.

Any boss with an arbitrary "cannot damage for x amount of time phase" is pretty poo poo, with the exception of stuff like raid bosses where the mechanics are built around more complicated stuff than just dps checks.

I like Asher because he reminds me of one of the robot brain scientists from the Old World Blues DLC from Fallout New Vegas. Wouldn't be surprised if he was also one of its voice actors.

Yah I've personally had a lot of success with a sword that regenerates ammo on kills doing that and trying to clear the little bitches but it's never enough!!!!!! I honestly might just break their hearts and suggest we wait until next week teleporting bosses in timed levels is just bad

New City of Villains-style alternate story start where yr in with the Exo Stranger's camp wtih scorch/shoch/null subclasses and get some open world factional PVP going there was a time when I thought this kind of thing might be on the table for D2

I think the best strategy for this week's boss is the hang out by the cheese spot in the upper left. Two people on top of the crates- not necessarily hiding but just taking cover. They focus on clearing ads, especially the shanks. The third jumps out in front with a full auto shotty/sword/merciless when there's not too many ads. They want to lure the boss in, then unload on him, and do this asap. Rotate people as you run out of heavy. If you get supers use them to clear ads mainly, but also hit the boss if he's there. Final and most important step is to pray. e; for the rest of it: first outdoor section- just go on foot, team shooting enemies and looking for anomalies. Trying to sparrow through WILL get you killed and you don't save time. There's like 10 anomalies in the area (including one on a cave on the left), that'll get you plenty of time. defend the thing- save your supers until the big shanks show up and then blast them immediately. Other than that just focus the electric shanks, and use heavy on the majors. Mazerunner fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Sep 22, 2017 |

The oracles that you have to kill to get more time do not change spawn locations. You can hit max time really easily by learning where they spawn. This applies for both the NF and the 300 exotic shotgun quest thing.

yeah has anyone else noticed a thing where one oracle in the raid shotgun strike gives like a dozen time boosts? Like 5+ minutes worth. It happened I think on all three of our attempts before we won.

It's one in the section towards the end where you have to open a door and then the boss is there and you fight a bunch of adds before you go up the big elevator. On the first bridge area with turrets there's a door/hallway with 1 mob and an oracle in it. Gives you like 3 minutes.

So as I understand it, loot drops based on your max "possible" Power, not the Power you actually currently have, right? Meaning you don't have to only use Biggest Numbers to get better stuff. I get that part. But does it count things in your Vault? Can I finally just shove Prospector in the bin (it's my highest Power weapon  )

It goes off all the gear on your account that you can equip on that character. So it will count guns in your vault or on other characters, but not your Warlock's armor when you're on your Titan because they can't equip it. What I'm wondering is if it takes into account the equipped exotic limits. Does it just look at the highest light available to you in each slot individually and add it up, or is it based on the highest light gear load-out that you can actually equip.

When it says highest attainable light, it means it. It'll even pick the right exotics to max the light of the hypothetical build it's basing your drops on.

I'm finding D2 underwhelming purely in terms of potential. If you take it for what it is, it's a fun enough loot shooter with excellent gunplay, but it just feels like they threw all their energy in completely the wrong direction. Like if they'd spent less time on the optional sidequest adventure areas, and made a huge list of lost sectors that rotate weekly and vary each time you play them. They're trying to run an mmo-esque game without regularly releasing new content. Strikes in particular are a huge mis-step because you get way, way more purples doing patrols and events. By the time I thought of doing them, adventures had taken me over 265 so i just shredded any blues that did drop, then got bored of the rotation only seeming to pull up the same three strikes, two of whoch were on nessus and the other which is pyramidion, so might as well have been on Nessus. Maybe it's just me but its the replayability that's completely anaemic. D1, I used to eagerly await daily resets for the challenges, pick a few up, do the daily, get my weekly boxes. There was always something to do. Now it just feels like after you get all the powerful loot, the rest of the week is just pointless. I really hope that Factions add something, but it looks like they've been relocated to another iron banner / srl type special event.

yeah if you're levelling an alt you get a massive bump in the level of your drops/engrams as soon as you hit 20 because it now calculates off of the guns on your main/in your vault you could equip. You don't even have to send them over or equip them to get the boost. which, I think there's some legendaries or the campaign exotics that can be infused but require only level 16 or something to equip? So that'd be a big boost as well. e; so I was looking at different weapons to see which I had that were level 16 and noticed the raid exotic quest shotgun had no level requirement, but turns out you actually can't store/transfer that weapon. If you want one on multiple characters you gotta run the quest 3 times. Mazerunner fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Sep 22, 2017 |

The "replayability" of destiny 1 was endlessly repeating the same poo poo over and over hoping the game didn't gently caress you and actually gave you good loot. Destiny 2 has far more content than destiny 1 did at launch and doesn't actively waste your time with player hostile mechanics. I'll take a fun and fairer destiny that I don't play as much over the horseshit of destiny 1 any day.

D1, I used to eagerly await daily resets for the challenges, pick a few up, do the daily, get my weekly boxes. There was always something to do. I'm not really sure I understand this. Challenges are basically the same as bounties in D1, except streamlined in both accessibility and rewards. If you were doing bounties for fun, then you can do challenges for fun. If you were doing them for rewards- well the rewards for a challenge are basically the same- faction rep. Which you'd want to get guns you might not have, cool looking armour, shaders, emblems... sure they won't be higher power but doing bounties in D1 didn't get you higher light either. Weekly boxes yeah. I'm sure bungie will bring those back or something similar when player count starts to fall, although to some degree bright engrams fill the same niche and there's no limit on those. Daily mission... yeah. There's Ikora's weekly thing but it's just three missions per week, with no modifiers or anything. It'd be nice if they got a modifier at least, or had better pacing than just 3 per week.
