On the real, though, I've noticed that the environments in Curse of Osiris are *much* larger feeling than the ones from the Vanilla planets, even though I guess Mercury is tiny:    This one's from the adventure (just an adventure, too!) where you go disrupt the Fallen simulation in the Forest. Huge Arecibo antenna array or whatever the Vex are doing here:  On that mission where you go put your fist through the Nessus crypto-mind or whatever, I even realized I'd forgotten how tall The Tangle was. I used my Scout rifle MUCH more frequently, instead of just bowling through everything with Uriel's. I like this change of engagement range, and feel it portends good things: (This top image is the one where I realized I was going to have to switch to my Scout, you can tell.)    I also found myself thinking, "Wow, I wish this was a Crucible map" at most points through campaign, especially the fourth, Mars-ish palletted image above, and this one in the Gardener's Spire. The Spire in particular would be some super fun tight-but-vertical shootmans if you had a bunch of jump pads around:  Imagine, Crucible in the Infinite Forest tho. Fighting on a changing landscape... the spawn points would probably be hell on the map team.

 Dear bungo, This Forest set piece would make a neat Crucible map if scaled up, side-balanced(?) and elaborated on. Maybe situated inside a large cave, with some neat fog or vex milk geysers to conveniently obscure particular long lines of sight depending on how it scaled This may just be the part of me talking that enjoys Waldo World Arena on net gather though.

This Past Mercury area on Bug in the System would be extremely awesome to Shaxx around in too. Another circular arena, pretty large; you could make the walls on this infinitely high and change it to mazed corridor-engagements outside the center pylon instead of an open-field/trenches with jetpacks style thing:

Quote is not edit wow. I’ll use this post then to say that I wish I could run Infinite Forest as much as I cared to, even if it’s just for tokens/blues/Chance at legendary at the end, same loot spin as a Lost Sector. “Anybody wanna go tear through the forest a few times?” Is easy to say to your friends.

Oxyclean posted:What, Cataclysm? They basically deleted old 1-60 and replaced it with shiny revamped stuff and didn't lock any of it behind the expansion. Ahhh, thanks. I’m seeing Warminds, next Expansion, as Burning Crusade, and then whatever after that as Cataclysm, where everything’s overhauled. Hopefully we get a steadier trickle of new content along the way to keep the community’s mindless lust for developer-death at bay.

isk posted:"sitting around" While I realize I hardly speak for the salty-rear end videogaming community, I wouldn’t perceive that as, “being saved,” I’d perceive that as, “two gaming companies who I have liked and respected for over two decades gettin’ down to bidness.” To avoid the “saved” perception, work would have to be impressive, presented cleanly, and earnestly tackled. Hell, Bungie could just BlogPost the words, “We have Taken on <img_Oryx, maniacal laughter> some members of Blizzard’s team for our own. We would like to welcome them on board on their rotation. This is their community liason, <name of person who doesn’t mind being canonized/demonized in dev-sainthood forever alongside DeeJ Cosmo and Luke because they have a one-or two syllable name that’s easy for an angry community to regurgitate cluelessly>“ Waffle House fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Dec 7, 2017 |

isk posted:100% agreed. I thought (from what was presented, anyway) bringing in Mosqueira was a humble and inspired idea, and it was ultimately effective. The perception of savior is entirely within the lens of ignorant & reductive gamer culture (which as much as I hate and hope dies soon, is still A Thing), and with having worked with smart & skilled folks. It doesn't happen every time but sometimes pride gets in the way, especially when dealing with smart & skilled folks who have also been successful. I edited my post a bit but  . I absolutely despise what 2016 turned contemporary online culture into. I can’t enjoy things without being put at risk for Kidney Stones because people just need to get their demons out, no matter how stupid.Pride is inherent in all great success. Up to the superego to keep that reigned

JerikTelorian posted:I think it's more that people need to learn to scale their response to be proportional to the fault at hand. When everything is an apocalyptic disaster it's hard to sieve out what the real problems are and whether (as a company) it's worth responding to them. IMO moving prestige content out of the game when you paid for it is a bigger problem than the "scaling XP but not so bad that BE's were that hard to get" but everyone sorta blew their load on the first one and now it just sounds like whining.

Lucid Dream posted:It kinda baffles me that Bungie doesn't make a pass through the exotics (and the legendary weapons for that matter) to buff the ones that are clearly underpowered and underused. I'm sure they log which are the most/least used exotics/legendaries, but they leave in place a status quo where there are like a handful of useful exotics that everyone uses. My guess is that they are afraid to touch things because of pvp balance. Sorta related - I wish they'd just add a "banned" category of gear that you can't take into pvp so they can do wackier stuff for pve. That happened on December 5th, which is why we are discussing the viability of Fighting Lion now, where previously it was not liked: quote:

Lucid Dream posted:Yeah, they fiddled with some of them, but I still feel like there is a ton of content that is still just not worth using compared to the alternatives. I find it really lame to do those weapon cube quests in the expansion and end up with, say, a scout rifle that is clearly nowhere near as good as nameless/mida. To me, your feeling is probably public-derived; people don’t pay much attention to most guns outside what the internet/meta tells them to. They’re not necessarily wrong, they’re just committing to being predictable. I am all about this guy, because Dynamic Sway Reduction is a great perk. Instead of your bullet grouping getting looser as you hold the trigger, it TIGHTENS UP. This is great for engagements at range, and also hilarious on SMGs: https://db.destinytracker.com/d2/en/items/1327432221-perseverance Edit: Yes explosive rounds is basically never not good, on any gun, and I’m glad people discovered that, this is important to remember as the game develops. I used to have a Badger CCL in D1 (max impact scout) with explosive rounds; it 1shot trash mobs, and was heinously good.

Lucid Dream posted:You're probably right considering I mostly ignore weapons with lower than a 4 or so rating on DIM. I probably need to branch out more and try stuff that is outside of the "meta". Not every gun is good....but not every player carefully reads perks that might nicely suit their playstyle, or be something that they can work in if they think about it. Better Devils is just straight crispy and it will be a sad day of poured out 40s when they nerf it. I feel like Bungie tries to “train” its playerbase with the meta. For Positive Outlook, the new Vanguard AR with Armor Piercing Rounds, they mashed up everyone’s two favorite Auto Rifles from vanilla: Origin Story and Uriel’s Gift. “Oh, yeah, you guys remenber HCR from D1? Yeahhh, remember those? Check out this sweeeet 450rpm chunky AR that melts stuff. Alright, now that you guys DEFINITELY remember that, here’s their beefy friend, APR. Both are crispy, but can you feel/see the difference?” Hard examination of a weapon’s veracity STRICTLY in terms of TTK is kind of fallacious because no combat scenario you engage in will exist in that vacuum of pure numbers. Like, as bad as an opposing player may be, nobody is going to stand still to give you that “ideal” TTK case. Someone or something WILL be shooting back at you, dropping your shields, maybe even with those flinch-causing High Caliber Rounds, which causes YOU to miss a shot, thus reducing your TTK, and by the time you’ve completed this thought you’re dead because the other guy landed all his.

Eej posted:To be honest you can pick any 140rpm Kinetic Handcannon aside from Better Devils and do just as good if not better if you happen to click better with whatever perks it has. Better Devils happens to be the meta because it has really easy sights, minimal kick (Sunshot doesn't really recoil and throw off your aim when you fire it but good lord the whole loving gun flies into your face and makes it harder to do follow up shots) and explosive rounds let you tickle near dead people behind cover and distract opponents with the flash when hitting them. I was playing Trials with a dude whose computer would just eat poo poo and drop FPS when hit by BDs so that's a pretty big advantage though. This is why I like True Prophecy, the FWC hand cannon; it’s Better Devils, just delayed a little. Wish its Needler-perk explosion radius was a little bigger so I could skill in double kills on low health jerks. That thing about graphically bogging down sucks and should be addressed imo, although I’d be interested to see if there’s a graphics settings threshhold where that’s mitigated. FPS drop is deeeefinitely something that’ll gently caress up people’s TTK.

scuz posted:Ever jumped off of a high cliff into a mob and charged 'em, killing them and saving yourself from a drop that would surely have killed you? Yep. It and the Hunter dodge can be skillfully timed to mitigate fall damage. I mostly do this in PVE, as Crucible maps don’t currently have a ton of verticality. khy posted:You misunderstand what I was saying; With the Insurmountable Skullfort exotic, a shoulder charge kill would refill melee energy completely, and allow you to shoulder charge infinitely (And since charge grants grenade energy, you could spam a TON of grenades).. I may have misunderstood, but are you sure they’re not Orange-Bar mobs, or whatever that weird color for the “tougher” intermediary non-Yellowbar mobs that is? Like Daemons in the Forest?
