Bungie chat app sucks and we liek to post so join our cool guys Slack channel where you can post all your cool gifs and plan out pubstompings and whatever else.

Don't know what Slack is? Then gently caress off! jk, but for real it's basically IRC on 'roids and it's way better for organizing and chatting about video games.

PM me with your email address here or send it to my GT: Wrecks Box One to get an invitation.

How well does Slack handle multiple accounts? Because I already use it for work and if it makes it a pain in the rear end to use two logins then gently caress that poo poo.

The iOS app handles it fine, the lovely Mac app seems to have a meltdown when I sign in with both my work email and my sidechick email, so I just keep the bonekrew instance in a Safari window on a different desktop view.

It's really boring. A month ago, a Bungie developer made an honest mistake in a tweet regarding matchmaking. Today, people on Reddit went apeshit on the basis of the mistake. Cozmo quickly corrected the error. Reddit is, of course, now shouting LIES and DECEPTION because REDDIT is full of CHILDREN.

I've been in Derek's shoes before, where stuff changes internally and you aren't always aware or forget you changed something yourself. Then you gently caress up by not double-checking before saying the thing that is wrong. For this reason, I try to be very conservative in how I reply to people about product functionality. And even then I screw up a lot. It happens, you move on, you try harder next time. (Then it happens again and you develop a good drinking habit, like most seasoned engineers.)

It's funny to laugh at but people who are getting upset about it (lol reddit) are being silly.

What did the dev say wrong?

Is there some good explanation of how exactly infusion works since the April update?

Do the attribute bonuses of the infused armor increase along with the power level or what?

WYSIWYG 335 --> 335

Stats go up linearly but it's still RNG if it's actually a max stat roll or not. You can use something like Destiny Item Manager to look at your gear and tell you if it's close to max roll or not. There's a breakdown of what numbers are required for each armor type to qualify it as a max roll, but it's like 25/25 for class items and ghosts, and 45/45 for helmets, without the bonus perk applied.

Patch Notes (2.3.1):
-Fixed an issue where some players weren't able to make purchases to Eververse.
-Added affordable financing options for guardians not able to afford items at Eververse
-Added new emote "The Shitter" where the player pretends to take off pants and squat down to defecate: 800 silver
-Fixed an issue where casting stormtrance healed you upon activation; it now kills the user automatically and logs you out of match

Bungie issued a review embargo for days at launch so they could sell the game without anyone being any wiser on all the flaws the game had, the story it did not have, and so on under the guise of, "But there is so much game, you can't possibly play it and accurately reflect it in a review so quickly!" which is as transparently bullshit as it is telling about the mentalities of the people who push the game.

I mean, they've had more DLC add-ons than any other game I've played on a console. Vanilla destiny had a bad story and bad loot mechanics but it was still enough to keep going on its own merit. I can't think of any other game that got a 7/10 that's been as successful and prolific.

Game reviews are based on a guy running through the single player campaign which did suck a lot, and the strength of the game has always been about getting together with your bros to do raids or nightfalls or whatever, so yeah I don't see anything wrong with them saying "please don't write off destiny based on the single player campaign and storytelling"

Mad? lmao Noting the game's history doesn't require emotion, or having been there. That's moronic as poo poo, and I've been playing for 8 months or so which is also irrelevant.

Ahhhhh, it's another round of the Krew's synchronized moon cycles. Classic. Maybe mention this to your marriage counselor, make some progress.

Um, it's plenty relevant because you obviously saw all the shenanigans and clearly knew about the aftermath but then went ahead and bought the game a year later with your eyes wide open and now want to bandwagon on the "bungie bad" train?

I don't have any problems with destiny or bungie for the most part and I don't complain about lag much here or otherwise. I like to clown on them but in the end I'm a pretty happy camper.

You acting like they're some super secretive organization that's casting a smokescreen or whatever the gently caress in order to make sales is laughable. Hmm, yes a company that expects to make money from their product is worried because the criteria that a 48 hour game review is based on will be fairly weak so they ask people not to judge it until they've done the cool stuff like raiding and such is very unreasonable.

What's even funnier is that you seem to think that Bungie should be hellbanning people with bad internet as though that would somehow not end up in a PR nightmare. I can guarantee you that both Sony and MS game developer licenses have provisions that prevent Bungie from discriminating specifically against people based on the quality of their internet services unless it literally can't connect at all.
