The Meat Dimension is correct about what it is. I tried to make it as clear as I could. It's tough with only 25 pixels to work with and not being a pixel artist or anything. At least someone got it without me saying.

Not a bad night, got that cool purple & yellow flower emblem A Buff Gay Dude was running, Plan C, Boolean Gemini and a bunch of interesting purple guns to try out for PvP. All I was doing was cleaning out/organizing my characters and vaults but then hooked up with some of the other Swarthy Boys and did CoE.

I played a little Crucible tonight and ran into this one guy who just wouldn't put down his shotgun. He got me once but after that, he'd just run straight at me and try to get close to hit me with it and I'd just murder him with my Hawksaw. I don't normally teabag but I did that guy every time because gently caress shotguns. I also Golden Gunned down nearly a whole team running in a straight line around a corner for the Rift. :D

You can solo that version pretty easily. At the end, you need to kill a taken knight that'll spawn when the boss is about half dead. He'll spawn on the right as you face the boss. That's the actual mission. Just solo it. It's fun!

It's actually easier to solo than with three people. Unless they tweaked it, the ramp up per additional player is kind of insane.

There is no excuse for all the platforming sections in King's Fall and the raid would be far FAR better without them. :colbert:

No, platforming is required so you can laugh at your mistakes and everyone else's. Also, shoving people off ledges and tricking them into killing themselves never gets old. :D Also, kick/quit/whatever the negative people who get all lovely when stuff doesn't go right, they're toxic morons, don't let them drag your raid down.

Holy poo poo, Destiny networking is so loving terrible. There is no reason why they can't be detecting situations like that and just booting the player for a lovely/tampered connection. Networking is absolutely not that unreliable these days. They need to get real aggressive with stopping this poo poo.

Obsurveyor
Jan 10, 2003

By "booting" and "real aggressive" I did not mean to imply bans because that's silly. I just meant disconnecting them with assweasel error messages like limaCAT said. That gif schmeo posted is over 7 seconds of network fuckery, a half way decent server(meaning peer-to-peer host or dedicated) could figure out that network ordering is just messed up for that player and disconnect them instead of allowing them to continue to send out of order packets and dick with other players. Sure, Bungie would get a rise in complaints about disconnects from cheating assholes and people with bad connections playing outside their region or whatever but sorry, your network must be this good to go on the ride.

It's not even ping that's the problem here so out of region people would be mostly okay if the route is stable. It's the out of order packets that cause the worst damage because it messes with prediction and causes rollbacks.

Much simpler and less drastic response than disconnecting people- if the game detects that it's the one with the problem, it puts up a big ol' "ENCOUNTERING NETWORK ISSUES" banner and stops accepting input until it clears up.

What do you do with them while the banner is up? How do you deal with catching them up to the present for both them and everyone else? That just adds even more difficulty to the engineering nightmare that is network programming. When you get the black screen and come back in Destiny now, I believe that's a host migration and everyone sees it.

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.

They don't jump on people saying not-dumb stuff, so there's more to it than that. Only dumb game reviewers would agree to an embargo to get the game early and not be able to talk about it on launch day. The rest skip that dumb bullshit and go buy it in a store/online.

I thought light level did effect it in Iron Banner because I noticed at really high light levels I would be able to tank a shoulder charge and at really low light levels my Titan would have to punch the guy AFTER I shoulder charge him. If you were 335 PLUS max armor and armor from perks I feel like you would completely change the way you take damage in Iron Banner/Trials. Because in base crucible it only does 200 damage which is just enough to one shot an enemy, so one less point in damage could mean you aren't one shotting the enemy.

Iron Banner isn't normalized, that's the whole point of it.

Hey if you got that static PS4 theme with your ROI preorder, delete it. Then go to the PS store, search for Destiny and a free dynamic ROI theme will be available. It's like the ROI cover art with moving snow, moving cape, and a flaming axe, and the new ROI theme as the system music if you turn it on.

US/Canada only apparently

Can you link it? Can't find it on the web store. Unless you're saying: Re-download the pre-order theme.

Reddit/Bungie.net are all a buncha whiny babies, Titans were poo poo for soooo long, especially once Warlocks got The Ram while Hunters ruled the roost for like a year and a half.

I agree, it makes for a real bad mechanic with Bungie's horrible match making and them not giving two shits about red bar cheaters. However, it's also just really fun when you don't give a poo poo about k/d or anything and just want to smash some dudes and get a good run going.
