I tried the godmode cheese to get the Master version of this week's story mission done. Without needing to care about my life, it took about 12 minutes to get to where I could be invincible, and about 35 to finish the mission. It's a brutal combination of arguably four of the most dangerous enemies in the game (Hydras, Overload Minotaurs, Wyverns, and Tormentors) that take way too long to kill even if you don't miss shots or make mistakes due to being mortal, with all three champion types. If you bring something like a glaive or sword you're consigning yourself to suicide if you end up point blank against any of them.

The Wyvern 1-hit kill machine gun shots are much nicer when invincible, but yeah this week sucked on master.

Is there any lore about what happens when the Cloudstriders die before the whole 10 year thing? If they set up the system under the assumption that they will never fail in their duty then it's a failure and Neptune/Neomuna can perish.

Its implied Rohan is the first to "die" without reaching the expiration date, possibly being the only one to not die from reaching their eol date.

Also I didn't duo it, I soloed it. Although I DID run a duo legendary earlier with my husband and it almost feels harder in some ways. There are more enemies with bigger health pools, and Brakion in particular felt like more of a slog. Still, did the thing. All hail the slightly raised corner platform that Brakion can't figure out how to step on.

Did you just shoot fighting lion curveballs from the cheese spot that people use wish ender from? if so thats rad.

Destiny in Australia is such a fuckin' crapshoot.

Play Comp, hit Promotion series, get excited, immediately get queued with two solos so deep in SEA they're teleporting, vs a three stack in Australia. Watch them get 1,000 damage between them, when they're 0-2 down start jumping off cliffs.

yep.

Difference with CBMM and SBMM in australia is negligible, as I've had "CBMM" games playing asia and the US west coast forever so I'm used to it sucking.

I use a lot of weapons like witherhoard and GLs in general as they seem to be able to double quite effectively, bypassing the lag.

They should change all the flawless triumphs (raid and dungeon) to per-encounter, like the elemental ones. Losing a 1.5 hour run becasri you did two flawless encounters and then someone fell off a platform is neither fun nor challenging

It is infact very funny, so funny I'm going to post it from two perspectives!

incase it isn't obvious Bark is being architect'd by teleporting into an asset on the level, killing him instantly, and ending our run

Flawless is an endurance test in and of itself, requiring you to deal with increase in stakes as the encounters keep on going. Riven for instance, requires you to either flawless an extremely difficult encounter, or be able to cheese it perfectly on the first go (not always a given).

It was fine, hard but fine.

All of the solo flawless dungeons are a challenge and they should be? The nature of the challenge changes. In duality it's a timer/coordination challenge whereas in ghosts it's a survival, coordination and endurance challenge

On top of the completely opaque new player experience you also need to spend like $200 to gain access to all the content which is a huge ask. For people who are actually going to play throughout the year it's comparable or cheaper than WoW or whatever, sure. But it's a big chunk up-front for the random blueberry who can't even comprehend if they like the game or its loop yet, or even the returning player who thinks they need to pick up the Legacy Collection/Anniversary/Lightfall.

I don't ever hate my friends enough to let them start playing destiny. One messaged me asking "do I want hunter, warlock or titan" and I said uninstall was the preferable option. They didn't follow my advice and quit a month later after having spent their $200 getting the content.

These last few days really suck for a lot of reasons. It was inevitable Bungie was going to eventually shrink in some way. They aren't doing well (-45% Revenue projection). Sony isn't doing well (and being restructured completely), tech industry in general isn't going well, there's high inflation and cost of living crises happening in many places across the world, and GaaS seems to be dying a slow death.

I think that 45% revenue loss can't be understated. I don't know any company that would look at that and say "we cannot shed a single member of staff" I'd expect there to be apocalyptic cost saving at Bungie for the next year, if they even survive.

Everyone who lost their job, I hope they find some great projects to fit into as soon as possible and continue to make great games elsewhere.

I don’t know if I’m completely out of touch but I haven’t been able to figure out what an extraction shooter is.

If nothing else it doesn’t seem to be the kind of game that could pull in a mixed PvP/PvE population of players.

some kind of battle royale but you take your loot out of the game afterwards.

This sounds like an excellent choice for Marathon, a game with intense lore about the formation of an ai god on a colony ship.

The dungeons are all good but some are gooder than other's.

I got more of an appreciation of Ghosts doing a solo flawless. It's very difficult but also quite fast, you rarely have a moment to collect yourself before another problem crops up.

The travel times between encounters are long but I don't hate them.

4 dunks on encounter 1 is indefensible though, but I think other than that the first encounter is excellent.

If they increase Riven's health by 50% the cheese won't work and people will have to engage with the game which is Cool and Good.
